83: It was a dark and windy night, and bad news came one after another

The terrifying destructive power of the Level 6 Void Maelstrom Array had, at this moment, completely made the high-ranking members of the Shi Family sense the crisis of their Family's annihilation.

This terrifying and strange Annihilation Array, capable of killing even Ancestors of the Spirit Division Realm, had already caused the Shi Family to lose six Ancestors of the Spirit Division Realm, one after another.

Each one died a horrific death, their bodies torn to shreds; it would not be an exaggeration to say they were dismembered into ten thousand pieces.

It was truly terrifying!

It genuinely made them feel a chilling dread!

Who exactly was this opponent?

How could their Shi Family have provoked such a terrifying Killing God?

"Second Clan God, why don't you lead a team out of the city to investigate?"

Shi Rufeng looked at Shi Rulin with a solemn expression and said, "We don't know if this fiend will return to Great Stone Town to attack our main base or other Family properties.

The Family here must have a Clan God guarding it!"

"Ancestors of the Spirit Division Realm cannot act alone, lest they fall victim to this fiend's schemes.

After much thought, your cultivation is a bit higher than the Third Clan God's.

During the brief skirmish last time, this fiend's cultivation could be roughly determined to be around the fifth stage of the Mahayana Realm.

Even if he tries to scheme against you, the possibility of him killing you is not high.

This fiend is a rat who hides his head and shows his tail; perhaps his Dao of Arrays cultivation is just a bit stronger.

In a real fight, perhaps you might even be able to kill him!"

"I understand!"

The Second Clan God, Shi Rulin, stood up, his solemn expression mixed with a fierce Killing Intent.

"If I encounter this fiend, I will stake my old life to kill him!

I absolutely cannot allow the Shi Family to be annihilated in our generation's hands!"

"Good!"

Shi Rulin's words, spoken with a willingness to die, stirred the blood of all the high-ranking members of the Shi Family.

With such a Clan God, what strong enemy could their Shi Family fear?

However, just as they were all feeling excited and their blood was boiling, the arrival of bad news instantly chilled their hearts.

"Report!"

"Enter!"

"Reporting to all Clan Gods, dozens of Family properties in the Great Stone District have suffered devastating attacks from the enemy..."

"What?!"

All the high-ranking members of the Shi Family instantly sprang from their seats, their faces filled with shock and anger.

The Great Stone District! That was where their Shi Family's main base was located.

How dare the opponent do this?

How dare they?!

Moreover, this was within the Royal City.

How dare the opponent disregard the royal Ye Family and cause trouble within the Royal City?

"What audacity!!"

Shi Rufeng was so enraged his lungs were about to burst.

He turned to Shi Ruhuo and said, "Third Clan God, you guard the main base.

I will go investigate the situation and confront this fiend!"

"Alright, be careful!"

Shi Ruhuo also wore an angry expression.

However, just as they were about to leave the meeting hall, more urgent reports came in, one after another.

"Report!"

"..."

Hearing the urgent tone, they knew it wouldn't be good news.

The hearts of all the high-ranking members of the Shi Family sank.

"Enter!"

Shi Rufeng and Shi Rulin, who were about to leave, paused, waiting to hear what had happened.

"Reporting to all Clan Gods, the Family properties in Great Kun Royal City have suffered devastating attacks from a mysterious strong practitioner.

All Family Disciples managing the Family properties, except those not present, have perished!"

"..."

"Report!"

"..."

"Enter!"

"Reporting to all Clan Gods, the Family properties in Great Zhen Royal City have suffered devastating attacks from a mysterious strong practitioner..."

"..."

"Report!"

"..."

"Enter!"

"Reporting to all Clan Gods, Great Li Royal City..."

"..."

"Report!"

"..."

In just a quarter of an hour, the urgent reports that came in, one after another, changed only the city names; the content was virtually identical.

Suffered devastating attacks from a mysterious strong practitioner!

All Family property managers, except those not present, have perished!

One after another, hair-raising news arrived, each causing the high-ranking members of the Shi Family to feel a deeper chill in their hearts.

Was their Shi Family on the verge of annihilation?

"Report!"

"Speak!"

When Shi Rufeng uttered this word again, his voice was like it came from an ice cellar, chillingly cold, causing the surrounding air to drop several degrees once more.

"Rep... Reporting to all Clan Gods, news just came from the Great Thunder District and the Great Section District; their Family properties have also been attacked, with heavy casualties!"

The person reporting the news began to stammer; indeed, nearly ten consecutive reports, none of which were good.

He was truly worried that a furious Clan God might strike him down.

"What do you all think?"

Shi Rufeng asked, his face as cold as frost, as he surveyed everyone.

"..."

The rather steady and experienced Second Elder was the first to speak, "It's clear that the opponent came back from outside the Royal City.

If I'm not mistaken, this fiend should now be within the Royal City and is still causing devastating destruction to our Family's properties.

It would be of little use for the Second Clan God to leave the city if he wishes to capture this fiend."

"I agree with the Second Elder's point of view."

At this moment, the former Clan Chief, Shi Tianjing, also stood up and echoed, "Bad news has continuously come from the Great Stone District, Great Thunder District, and Great Section District.

Next, this fiend will surely strike in other districts of the Royal City.

If the Clan Gods wish to kill this fiend, I suggest making a drastic decision, abandoning a portion of Family properties, or even all Family properties in the Royal City, choosing a district that has not yet been attacked, and concentrating our forces to ambush this fiend!"

Shi Tianjing, having been Clan Chief for many years, possessed far greater courage than the average high-ranking member of the Shi Family.

"..."

The Second Elder couldn't help but look at Shi Tianjing with renewed respect.

He was indeed the only Out-of-Body Realm practitioner who escaped from the White Emperor Mountain Range.

Six Ancestors of the Spirit Division Realm perished, yet he, an Out-of-Body Realm practitioner, was still alive and well.

The Second Elder highly approved of Shi Tianjing as Clan Chief.

As for his son, Shi Youse?

Not very good at all!

Clan Chief Shi Gandang?

Also not very good!

The Clan Chief's son, Shi Jing?

Even worse!

After that near-death escape in the White Emperor Mountain Range, the Second Elder felt pessimistic about the future of the Shi Family.

"What you two said is correct! Let's proceed as you both suggested.

Second Clan God, Third Clan God, what do you think?"

"I have no objections!"

"I have no objections either!"

"Alright then!"

Shi Rufeng directly ordered, "Third Clan God, continue to guard the Family.

Second Clan God and all Family Ancestors, come with me to ambush this fiend!"

"Yes!"

"...Great Clan God, can I go with you to ambush this fiend?"

Just as everyone was getting up to leave, Shi Xiaodan eagerly asked.

Damn it!

Staying at the Shi Family's main base?

That was just waiting for death.

When the Jia Family of White Emperor Royal City was annihilated, he had already determined that the mysterious strong practitioner was either from the Dragon Family or a strong practitioner with very close ties to the Dragon Family.

Why would the mysterious strong practitioner attack the Shi Family's properties in various Royal Cities and districts of the Royal City?

The ultimate goal was simply to rescue those two Ancestors of the Dragon Family.

These people from the Shi Family were truly blinded by the situation.

If they wanted to ambush this mysterious strong practitioner, ambushing him directly at the Shi Family's main base, guarding those two Ancestors of the Dragon Family, wouldn't that be a hundred percent accurate ambush?

Now, it was quite the opposite.

With two Mahayana Realm strong practitioners leaving and only one staying to guard, the main base became vulnerable, giving others an opportunity.

What if Shi Ruhuo couldn't defeat the opponent, and the opponent indiscriminately used that terrifying and strange Annihilation Array to slaughter the Shi Family members?

If he stayed in the Shi Family, wouldn't he die a tragic and unjust death?

He, Shi Xiaodan, absolutely could not stay and wait for death!
