Chapter 659 - Ancient Blue Family\'s Situation

One week later,

In front of the grand mansion of the Ancient Blue Family.

"Bad news!" A disciple ran toward the mansion with everything he got. It already took almost all of his energy just to fly here at his full speed, because of how important the information was.

There were two men guarding the gate and naturally stopped him from entering. "Stop! The meeting hall is right inside, and the elders are discussing today\'s matter with the family head. No one can enter!"

"I need to enter. Please…" The 4-Star Martial Emperor had his appearance tattered like a beggar because of exhaustion.

The guards couldn\'t trust him too, even though the one in front of them was also an Ancient Blue Family member. "Talk everything to me. I will pass your message to the patriarch."

*Pant!* *Pant!*

The disciple fell on his knee before the guards exchanged looks and asked. "You might be a family member, but I still need to stop you because this is my job. How about telling me what kind of bad news you have and I will relay it to the family head."

The disciple didn\'t answer him for a few seconds as if he almost fell unconscious. Suddenly, he had gathered enough strength to mutter a few breaths. "I need to inform the family head about our expedition group."

"Now that you say it, I do feel you are pretty similar to one of those people. Speak, I will inform the family head." The guard finally noticed something was wrong. There were two 5-Star Martial Saints in the expedition group, yet they sent this weak guy to relay a message, it shouldn\'t be possible.

After all, no one could actually fight against Martial Saints on this continent, and the only time they might send someone as a messenger…

"Our… Our expedition group is dead! All of them died, including the two Martial Saints." The disciple could only utter two sentences before panting uncontrollably.

"What? You are joking. There is no way someone can kill Martial Saints on this continent."

"Everything was their plan. They had a way to kill the Martial Saints and somehow released me to inform the Ancient Blue Family that… that…" The disciple fell down.

However, hearing such breathtaking information, one of the guards caught him, turned him around, and looked at his eyes that seemed to have lost their focus. "Oi! What happened?"

After not hearing anything for a few seconds, the guard quickly took out a pill and shoved it into the disciple\'s mouth. "It was a healing pill, it should be able to wake him up for a little while."

"Ah! Where am I?" The disciple woke up again, but couldn\'t move his body. He looked at the guard and somehow remembered all the things before he collapsed.

"Explain everything!"

"That… That the moment our Ancient Blue Family raises our weapon again, they will massacre us."

*Thud—!* This sounded like a joke, but the disciple was too exhausted to even joke. Hence, the guard calmed his mind and realized that if what this disciple said was true, their family would be in danger. A Martial Saint was practically an invincible existence for them, yet this group could actually kill two. Besides, it also meant that they had enough confidence to deal with the main Fire God Clan and Ancient Blue Family.

"The weakest of them were 3-Star Martial Monarch, including their leader, but he was the scariest one because when I took my eyes away for a second, two Martial Saints died. The strongest of them was 7-Star Martial Monarch, but the Martial Saint once said that his power was also equal to 1-Star Martial Saint… If they arrived here, they would…"

The guard couldn\'t say anything, stunned.

The disciple continued, recalling every single thing he could say first before revealing Alex\'s power and dying because of Tribulation. "We were attacked by only fourteen people… no, fifteen in which two of them occupied the Martial Saints. After that, there was a woman that could kill a fourth of our number with only a wave of her hand. It was scary.

"At the same time, the others also had the strength of a hundred men, killing us like killing chickens. Their power… Their power… Cough!" The disciple was coughing a few times as the scene had struck a deep fear in his heart. "

"Tell us everything! What is their power? What is their leader\'s power to even kill two 5-Star Martial Saints!" The guards became impatient when they knew two Martial Saints were killed.

The disciple also thought he couldn\'t say many things in his state. In that case, he decided to say only the leader, the fire woman and Leoz because none of them had a huge threat to them.

"There was a lightning guy that had 7-Star Martial Monarch, but his attack could stop 5-Star Martial Saint. I literally saw that attack and thought it would kill every single of us if the Martial Saints weren\'t there. Meanwhile, the fire woman had a powerful Fire… I couldn\'t say many things about her because she didn\'t participate in the fight after the first attack that killed fifty of us.

"But… as expected, the most dangerous one was their leader, a 3-Star Martial Monarch. He-"

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of them, and his blade already made its way toward the disciple. The guards raised their weapons because they were still 6-Star Martial Emperor and had the time to react. Yet, Nelson\'s sword was still faster, killing the disciple in one slash.

Unfortunately, they were too focused on the disciple, so their head was late to look up to see Nelson\'s figure as the latter took the opportunity to disappear again after killing the disciple.

On the other hand, the guards exchanged looks with sweats covering their heads. Having the disciple that was supposed to give them information died would only mean that they were targeted by those people from Spirit Nest.

"You take care of this body, and I will inform the patriarch… They might be nearby, so we need to be careful!"

The other guard nodded.

…

A minute later,

*Bang!*

"Family Head… Family Head, something very bad happened!" The guard stormed inside the room, filled with elders and their heads.

In the furthest of the room sat a middle-aged man. He had long blue hair and aged eyes as if he had been dealing with terrible things for quite a while.

"What is it?" He narrowed his eyes. "What kind of bad news will we have? Our situation has gotten pretty relaxed after the reinforcement from the Fire God Clan arrived… Even though we still need to deal with many things, we can cope with the loss that these influences have inflicted upon us."

"I just got information from a disciple that went together with the expedition group."

"Oh! Have they finished their job? That\'s great. According to the agreement, they will start pressuring the other three influences for us, and we can take everything back from them even with the bonus." The family head stood up while smiling.

The elders also started rising from their seats to congratulate the family head, but they were stopped by the next word from the guard.

"Unfortunately, all of them had been massacred, including the disciple that passed us this message." The guard gritted his teeth.

The room fell into silence as they widened their eyes. Dumbstruck. The family head asked as if he heard it wrong. "Can you say it one more time? There is no way Martial Saints can be killed on this continent."

"Yes, Family Head. The Martial Saints were killed by them." The guard started explaining.

Their expressions turned from dumbfounded to shock to grim. Even the family head fell on his chair and felt weak. Never they expected, the Spirit Nest could kill the Martial Saints and realize what kind of danger they possessed.

Unfortunately, there was too little information about them lingering on the continent. They thought it wouldn\'t be a problem since the influences on this continent had no means to fight against those from Heavenly Continent. However, the Spirit Nest seemed to be different, causing them to be filled with despair.

Luckily, the guard also added in the end. "The disciple also said that they would only attack our family if we raise our hand on this matter again."

"…" The family head furrowed his eyebrows. "Who has any information about the Spirit Nest?"

All the elders looked down and couldn\'t answer him the slightest. They had heard everything from Mio, who encountered them inside the Special Realm. Yet, everything didn\'t do any justice. They remembered that the leader was a simple Martial Emperor at that time, putting that mask of him to his identity. And a year later, he had already reached 3-Star Martial Monarch. All people thought at the same time, What kind of speed is this?

"If the Spirit Nest truly killed them, we would be foolish to challenge them. On the other hand, the main family might rage upon this matter and wreak havoc in this family… Yet, if we don\'t report this matter, they will know it sooner or later, and the problem will escalate even further." The family head was scratching his head as he couldn\'t come up with a single idea before remembering the last thing the guard said. "Did you say they will only attack us if we stretch our hand again?"

"Ye-yes."

"We won\'t do anything then." The family head decided. "We will send an envoy to the family since no matter how hard they hit us; our family won\'t be destroyed. At the same time, the other influences don\'t know that the Martial Saints have died. They shouldn\'t know if we send a messenger at this particular time.

"However, we also need one person important enough for the main family. I want to go, but I need to handle the family matter. That\'s why you need to go, first elder… No, I will ask the grand elder later. This situation also involves Fire God Clan, so the main family will also need to be held accountable by them.

"We will surely get killed by them because of this humiliation, but we can redeem ourselves by giving enough information. That\'s why we will use this chance to spread our spies to every location on this continent to search for any information related to Spirit Nest." The family head rose from his seat and shouted.

The elders thought for a moment and exchanged looks with each other. None of them could present an objection as this was their best option. Hence, the elders nodded and shouted. "We will obey Family Head Roy."

"Don\'t forget. We also need to hide this information from the other influences for as long as we can… So, those who are here can\'t say anything about this outside. I will kill whoever spread this information."

"Yes."
