Satisfied laughter immediately filled the hall.“The Clan Head truly is extraordinary!”“If the Aljair Family’s spiritual vein falls into our hands, the Lincoln Family’s strength will definitely rise tremendously!”“Hahaha, the Aljair Family is truly stupid. They were willing to destroy themselves just to protect outsiders!”The atmosphere grew increasingly lively.Malrick leaned lazily against his chair while swirling the wine cup in his hand. “According to my spies, Javon really isn’t at the Aljair Family.” A lecherous smile slowly appeared on his face. “But he left behind two beautiful women there. One of them is even his own wife.”Several elders exchanged glances while smiling faintly.Malrick laughed softly. “Once they’re brought back here, I’ll make them serve the Lincoln Family properly.”His voice was filled with hatred and filthy intentions.The elders joined in the laughter and nodded, though many secretly sneered inwardly.Everyone in the Lincoln Family knew Malrick had lo

Javon looked at them expressionlessly.“You’ll get your answer after you arrive in hell.”Abyss Carver slowly rotated beside him before shooting forward.Sreet—!A cold flash streaked through the air.Several heads separated almost simultaneously. Blood sprayed in every direction as the bodies collapsed one after another, while their severed heads rolled across the stone floor that was still covered with Lincoln Family banquet decorations.In the distance, Malrick watched everything unfold and felt his breathing become labored, his face turning pale.“It really is Javon Forger...”In just a few minutes, the entire upper echelon of the Lincoln Family had been slaughtered without the slightest ability to resist. The fear he had desperately tried to suppress finally erupted completely.He no longer cared about the Lincoln Family.He did not care about the elders.He only wanted to live.“I have to leave...”Without wasting any time, Malrick turned around and ran as fast as he could towar

Raviel fell silent for a moment before cupping his hands respectfully once more. “Thank you, Javon.”To them, that reward was undeniably an immeasurable fortune.At that moment, one of the Aljair Family elders entered the council hall with a face full of excitement.“Young Master Forger, the Clan Head wishes to see you.”The destruction of the five great families had finally erased every threat that had long loomed over the Aljair Family. Having survived the disaster of near annihilation, every member of the clan seemed to have been given a chance to begin a new life.Javon immediately rose to his feet and followed the elder toward the back mountain.When he arrived, his steps slowed slightly as he saw a simple wooden house standing amid the dense trees.“Clan Head Aljair lives in a place like this?”There was a hint of surprise in his voice. He had assumed that someone of Alderon's status would reside in the grandest building within the entire family estate.The elder smiled faintly

"The Patriarch is still recovering, and he hopes you are willing to take over the management of the Aljair Family for the time being."The request caught Javon completely off guard. He immediately waved his hand and said, "There's no need. I'm not interested in managing a family. Besides, I'm just an outsider. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to interfere too deeply in the affairs of the Aljair Family."Deep down, he even suspected that Alderon was still thinking about the incident when he had sat in the Patriarch's seat before and had deliberately sent someone to mock him.Seeing his reaction, the elder smiled bitterly before explaining, "Young Master Forger, you've misunderstood. The Patriarch only hopes that you'll help lead the family temporarily. Once he recovers, the position will naturally be returned to him. The family is currently going through a difficult period. Without someone in control, the situation could easily descend into chaos."Only after hearing that explanation

"That's exactly what frightens me." The old man took a deep breath. "That young man is incredibly powerful. Based on my estimate, his strength has reached at least the sixth level of the Celestial Stage, perhaps even higher."Hearing that, the expressions of many people immediately changed.The sixth level of the Celestial Stage.Power of that level was already enough to stand at the peak of southern Skymer.Not long afterward, someone finally asked the question that everyone wanted answered the most."Then... what about Theron?"The room fell silent once again.That name carried tremendous weight throughout the southern region. As one of the strongest Celestial Stage cultivators, Theron's reputation had been well known for decades. If even someone like him had fallen, then the meaning behind the destruction of the Lincoln Family was far more terrifying than they had imagined."The Lincoln Family has already been completely wiped out," one Patriarch said in a heavy voice. "If Theron w
