Nowadays, Blackwood has completely turned against Cloudview County. In every village and town within the county, you can spot wanted posters for members of Blackwood.


    The major sects and families have long-standing missions to capture anyone from Blackwood.


    Killing a member of the Blackwood bloodline could even earn someone a piece of top-tier psychic gear. As for taking out descendants from the first two generations of Blackwood, that''s a guaranteed bounty of psychic weapons.


    Many young talents in Cloudview County see capturing Blackwood members as a rite of passage and a way to gain glory.


    "Dennis always says they''re busy," Nicholas glanced at the woman beside him. "Sister Helen, can you tell me what my family is like?"


    With Dennis nodding in approval, Helen walked over to Nicholas, gently touching the young boy''s head. "Your family, they are the most terrifying and feared people throughout Cloudview County."


    "Your great-grandfather carried a coffin on his back, where all his enemies would eventually find their resting place. Your great-grandmother was the most beautiful woman in the world, a three-tailed fox spirit, the greatest protector of your family."


    "Your four great-great-grandparents include Lucas, the foremost swordsman of the Azure Skies, the saint of flora, the ancestor of psychic puppetry Julian, and the elusive master of the Corpse Landscape, Lord Dawn."


    "And then there are your fearless grandparents..."


    Listening to the titles of his family elders, young Nicholas''s eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.


    Dennis squatted in front of Nicholas. "Child, do you resent them for leaving you?"


    Nicholas shook his head, spreading his arms wide, earnestly saying, "Heroes like them have big, important things to do, much bigger than the sandcastles I build."


    Soon after, Nicholas jumped up excitedly. "Oh! My ancestors and many elders are all great heroes, and I am too!"


    Watching the child''s innocent excitement, Dennis sighed. "Helen, have you received any recent news about Blackwood?"


    Helen replied, "The latest news came two months ago. The second generation of Blackwood emerged from the Pine Temple, slaughtering all the monks who had tried to capture them. It seems..."


    "It seems what?"


    "It seems... the second generation of Blackwood has been possessed. They were surrounded by other forces, but when Swordsman Lucas appeared and joined forces with them, they fought off three Developing Skills. With a single motion of Lucas''s sword case, he beheaded a Developing Skill and escaped with the others from Blackwood, disappearing once again. "


    "Now, many forces have quietly withdrawn their missions to hunt down Blackwood, terrified by the mere mention of them."


    "Ha ha ha, excellent!" Dennis was overjoyed, and immediately gathered several friends of Blackwood for a three-day and three-night celebration in the Blackwood estate, recounting the deeds of Blackwood people in Cloudview County over the past seven years.


    Such as Blackwood Larry, who with the beasts of the Swamp Jungle, annihilated an oblivious Emerging Ability family.


    William, the rebellious son of Blackwood, sneaked into the Black Shell Gate and beheaded a once-in-a-millennium genius, hanging his head at the main gate before leaving unscathed.


    And Jeffrey, a rare beauty of Blackwood, a veteran of love affairs, who seduced an entire generation of women from a Developing Skill family, plundering nearly half of the family''s century-old wealth, reportedly not even sparing the family head''s chamber pot.


    The demonically possessed in the Thunderfire Demon Cave? They''re no longer anyone''s concern. Now, Cloudview County has only one public enemy...


    Seeing that Blackwood''s friends were still loyal, allowing several of Blackwood''s descendants to live a stable life, Ethan was very relieved. "I hope the fifth generation grows up quickly and settles down to marry and have children," he murmured softly.


    Ethan switched the screen view.


    The landscape of corpses from years ago was just the beginning. Both Ethan and the people of Blackwood had to admit that it was merely a way to vent, and at that time, they simply didn''t have the strength to make an effective counterattack.


    They also had to admit that leaving their family stronghold was a necessity.


    Ethan wasn''t even sure if he could face a peak Developing Skill opponent if he were to return.


    Blackwood had developed too quickly, they were too weak.


    But now...


    Seven years had passed, and they had found a new round of opportunities!


    And... Ethan had saved all the beast blood fruits, and the family was ready with many elixirs he needed. Over these seven years, his many descendants outside had completed special events almost every year, each starting with at least 1000 points of Spiritual Tribute. He had enough Spiritual Tribute!


    "It''s time to really teach Cloudview County a lesson," Ethan exhaled deeply.


    Looking at the game screen, it was the back hill of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, just like that day, with snow drifting from the sky, a beautiful scene.


    A scruffy guy emerged from the ground.


    He took out a knife, shaved the stubble off his face cleanly, then reached out to catch the snowflakes from the sky, his blurry eyes flashing with a sharp light, "The snow this winter, is white."


    George!


    This fourth generation of Blackwood... had been tomb raiding for seven years!


    Just as Ethan was about to issue commands using Cards, wisps of an old man''s soul emerged from behind George.


    These souls gradually took human form, looking in the direction of the Azure Cloud Pavilion with a hint of reminiscence, starting to whisper in front of the tomb, gathering like the Sunset Red Army group in front of a plaza speaker.


    "Ah, thirteen thousand years, the sea has changed into mulberry fields, things are not what they used to be. Who would have thought, Azure Cloud Pavilion only has a few strands of luck left, how sad, how lamentable."


    "Azure Cloud rose up ninety thousand feet, this is the legacy of Azure Cloud, now it''s plummeting ninety thousand feet."


    "The old man has calculated, alas, now only a little bit of soul remains, my Azure Cloud Pavilion still has one true transmission left, named Stephen. Hmph, a cowardly lot, they abandoned the Azure Cloud''s hundred thousand years of family business and fled!"


    "..." Sear?h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Watching these twenty-three old men, Ethan was baffled for a long time before shaking his head, "Huh???"


    "What was supposed to be a tomb raid, what kind of guys did you bring out???"
