The Grand Assembly Hall completely fell apart into a huge mess. Patriarch Mo stood tall in the center, and all the black snake scales on his arms started to glow with a super cold, scary light.The heavy air in the big room became hard to breathe because of his massive magic pressure. It felt like a giant stone wall was pushing down on everyone's chests.The broken pieces of the Chu family were running around in deep panic. They huddled in a tight circle around the bleeding, crying Chu Tianyou."Get up, Tianyou! You must stand up!" a Chu cousin screamed, his voice shaking with big fear. "The Mo family is trying to kill all of us!""I cannot move! My body is totally empty!" Tianyou wailed back, his face covered in dark mud and wet blood.Their long-standing rule was completely smashed and turned to dust in just a few seconds. They had no more pride left, only pure terror.Patriarch Mo let out a dark, mean laugh that sounded like a grinding iron mill. He suddenly flicked his old wrist w

The trio walked fast down the dark path and arrived at the massive, black stone door of the Sovereign Vault. The ancient, heavy stone threshold pulsed with a very bad, sickening red light that made the dark tunnel look spooky.This was the hidden inner room where the bad families had kept the true owners trapped like wild animals. For six long, painful years, they used the mom and dad as a living battery to steal all their magic juice."I can smell it," Xiaoxiao whispered, her small voice shaking with a very big, deep anger that made her body hot. "It smells like old blood and bad magic leaking right out of the cracks of the door."The nasty smell of old blood and wild magic made Xiaoxiao’s inner Empress core pulse with a huge, fiery rage. Her small fingers rolled into tight fists under her torn cotton rags as she stared at the big black stones."We are standing right outside their prison, brother," she said, her eyes turning into sharp, burning suns. "They are hurting our parents rig

On the surface pavilion, the big room was very warm. Patriarch Mo was holding a fancy gold cup filled with sweet wine.Suddenly, a very bad pain shot right through his old chest. He felt like a sharp iron knife was tearing his magic pathways into tiny pieces.Clatter!He violently dropped his wine cup onto the floor, the red drink spilling all over the expensive silk carpets. He let out a loud, terrifying scream that made all the nearby servants jump in pure panic."My chest! My soul is ripping apart!" Patriarch Mo yelled, his face turning completely pale beneath his dark armor."What is wrong, Patriarch Mo? Did the wine have poison?!" a high elder from the third house asked, standing up fast."No! It is not the wine!" Patriarch Mo screamed back, all the black snake scales on his arms standing up straight with a wild fury.He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of glowing white jade. The jade stone was completely broken into tiny gray bits that fell through his long f

BOOM!The central peaks of the grand palace shook violently like a giant toy basket. A massive, green alchemical explosion ripped through the entire Central Pharmacy tower with a terrifying roar.A roaring pillar of volatile chemical fire burst straight through the high roof. It melted the golden tiles and lit up the dark midnight sky like a massive, bright second sun.Hundreds of inner disciples began to scream in pure terror. They ran out of their bedroom pavilions in nothing but their soft white nightclothes."Help! The sky is burning green!" a young disciple shrieked, running in fast circles."The tower is falling down on us!" another student yelled, wiping black soot from his eyes."Get the water buckets right now!" a senior master screamed, his hands shaking in panic.The toxic smoke filled the air very fast, making everyone cough and cry as they stumbled over the grass. No one could see anything through the thick green fog that smelled like rotten herbs.Patriarch Mo and the ol

The old Chu Grandfather stared up at the towering, majestic figure of Long Jingchen with massive eyes. His ancient, arrogant mind completely short-circuited from the terrifying sight before him.His wrinkled face turned completely white like a clean bedsheet, his breath caught inside his throat. He looked at the beautiful black robes and the shining gold lines, shaking his head."No, no, this is a very bad dream!" the old man screamed out, his voice cracking loudly. "You are just the mana-less trash slave boy who cleans our dirty floors!""Look at his clothes, Grandfather!" a high elder on the floor wept, his mouth full of red mud. "He is not a slave! He is a god!""How do you possess the supreme unbound pressure of a primordial god?!" the Chu Grandfather shrieked, his old hands scratching at the hard stones. "Where did you hide this crazy magic power?!""You asked for the master of this mountain, old thief," Long Jingchen said, his dual-toned voice freezing the air. "Now that I am st
