Ethan switched the view to the Azure Cloud Pavilion,curious to see if Elizabeth had truly severed her earthly ties.He glanced at the member list and saw William''s avatar.


    "Through William,the map of Azure Cloud Pavilion must have been unlocked."


    Ethan grinned.William was indeed a bit twisted,but this time the kid did well,fighting for the family.


    Ethan believed that with William''s twisted intelligence,his undercover operation must be a success,maybe even climbing the ranks within the Azure Cloud Pavilion...


    "Huh???"


    The view shifted to William''s perspective.


    Ethan''s smile twitched.


    He saw it.


    In the center of the Azure Cloud Pavilion,hanging from a pillar,was a black iron cage.Below,on the bluestone pavement,disciples of the Azure Cloud Pavilion walked back and forth,occasionally glancing up at the cage as if watching a monkey.


    Inside the cage.


    William''s hands tightly gripped the iron bars,his face almost squeezed between two bars,his lower lip protruding in distress.


    Above his head,a few words appeared.


    "Let me out!!!"


    Ethan:"..."


    ...


    [In the year 84 at Blackwood,a series of mysterious disappearances among the disciples of the Azure Cloud Pavilion led to a grim discovery behind the mountains—three disciples were found buried alive.The head of the Pavilion decided to make an example of William by having him recite scriptures in public daily,hoping to reform him.]


    [Your descendant William has acquired the trait:The Pretender]


    Half a year of scriptures did nothing to soften his twisted heart.He memorized the texts and pretended to heed the master''s teachings,but his resolve only grew stronger.


    "Are you freaking kidding me?"Ethan was speechless,holding his forehead in frustration."Great,just great.The more we try to''educate''him,the more of a psycho he becomes.Now he''s even more set on murder."


    Ethan had hoped that being around George would gradually change his deranged descendant for the better,and indeed,William had not committed any heinous acts for months and had even started working undercover for the family.


    But now...this descendant,surpassing even George in talent,seemed utterly hopeless.


    Ignoring William,Ethan shifted his view,observing various locations within the Azure Cloud Pavilion.As an ancient sect with many disciples and secret spots for cultivating psychic powers,it was rich in heritage.


    Some areas,thanks to William''s investigations,provided Ethan,the Forebearer,with valuable information.


    [Azure Cloud Pavilion''s Twelve Guardian Towers]


    [The Pavilion has been a place of passing down skills from Competent and Developing Skill elders for generations,ensuring the legacy of the Azure Cloud Pavilion does not fade.]


    "Could such a sect lack Competent members?"Ethan squinted,considering the information known to Blackwood.It was said that the Pavilion only had Developing Skill elders,but with a history spanning thousands of years,including the sect leader,there were seven Developing Skill members.


    This level of expertise was almost on par with the Sky Sect and the Black Shell Gate.


    The more Ethan delved into the situation at the Azure Cloud Pavilion,the more he realized the depth of its hidden strength.Even without trying hard,he could sense that the Pavilion was concealing its true capabilities.

    Just then...


    "Boom!"


    A disciple in a cloud-patterned robe,riding a crane,hurriedly descended from the sky into the sect,his face filled with terror.He had lost control of the crane,and both he and the bird tumbled to the ground upon landing.


    The disciple,ignoring the crane''s mournful cries,stumbled towards the main hall.


    "Master,Elders!It''s...it''s terrible!"


    "Something horrifying is happening at the base of Azure Cloud Mountain!"


    At that moment...


    In the main hall,the back mountains,the Twelve Guardian Towers,and even beneath the Pavilion,all the Psychics opened their eyes.


    They all heard the disciple''s terrified shouts,and...


    They also sensed the thick scent of blood coming from below Azure Cloud Mountain!


    Sitting on a lotus platform,the Pavilion''s leader,Master Yixian,calculated the situation with a cold gaze,observing the patterns in the hall before sighing deeply,"A great disaster is upon us,but why?"


    As he spoke...


    In one of the towers,a stunning woman sitting opposite Elder Felix opened her beautiful eyes.In an instant,her eyes turned blood-red,and she leaped up,her phoenix form emerging and breaking through the top of the tower in a burst.


    She felt it—a blood connection,no matter how faint,all converging outside the Azure Cloud Pavilion.


    And...


    The presence of death!


    In the center of the Pavilion,William,who was gripping the iron bars and putting on a pitiful act,slowly lifted his head,watching the fiery figure rushing out.He raised an eyebrow,also sensing the blood scent from below Azure Cloud Mountain,sweet and overwhelming.


    "Tsk tsk,must be the work of Great Auntie.Truly a divine figure in my eyes."


    ...


    Ethan stared at the screen,his eyes wide with horror.Below Azure Cloud Mountain,the air was thick with a dark,sinister mist formed from the mingling of blood and the dark resentment of the dead.Within just a few minutes,the sky in the distance had turned a dark crimson due to these malevolent energies.


    At the base of the mountain,a chilling sight unfolded—a tower built entirely of human heads!For Ethan,the image on the screen was already terrifying.The tower,several feet high,was composed of heads all frozen in expressions of terror.


    But for the disciples gathered at the Azure Cloud Pavilion,this sight could very well become a deep-seated phobia,haunting them for a long time to come.


    They saw it.


    Outside this gruesome tower,as the wind blew,the hair on these severed heads fluttered in the breeze.Most of the hair was still,dripping with blood.The eyes in all the skulls retained the horrified expressions of their final moments,many filled with confusion,as if they couldn''t understand why disaster had befallen them even in death.


    Because of this,the heads on the tower seemed to look in every direction,as if emitting an endless stream of resentment.


    Blood,not yet dried,trickled down from the gaps between the heads at the base of the tower,slowly flowing towards the gate of Azure Cloud Mountain.


    Some Psychics,using their techniques,witnessed an even more terrifying scene!
