NOVEL NEXT Chapter 324: The Ancestors' Mutual Suspicion, The Beginning of Chaos (Combined)
The Heavenly Dome Rank Third Rank.
Ever since the silence of Nihility, several figures surged with a terrifying aura descended simultaneously, looking at the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, completely devoured by Death Fire, leaving not even ashes behind; every being present had an especially solemn expression.
After a moment of silence, the Dragon Ancestor, with twin horns on his head and an overbearing aura swirling around him, looked at the others with his brilliant gold eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice,
"Who did it?"
The silence was broken; the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan, clad in a crystal long dress, remained composed, "Alda, why bother asking when you know the answer?"
"We all arrived at the same time, who else could have acted?"
"Obviously, it was Camille's ally." The Half-demon Ancestor sneered, "That sneaky rat has shown up again."
The Ancestor of the Crystal Clan looked calmly at the Half-demon Ancestor until the latter's smile slowly faded, then she spoke calmly, "That Third Realm 'sneaky rat' is not an ally of the Crystal Clan."
"He seems more like an ally of the Half-demon Clan."
"Otherwise…" The Ancestor of the Crystal Clan's eyes held a hint of mockery, "how did you survive the besiegement of two from the Third Realm?"
"Desos, do you think yourself strong?"
"You…" The Half-demon Ancestor's face darkened, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "It seems you have forgotten how you were shattered by me a thousand years ago."
"Care to try again?" The Ancestor of the Crystal Clan retorted defiantly.
"Enough, both of you, let's focus our attention on the matter at hand," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit interjected with a light cough, breaking the tense atmosphere between the two.
The Dragon Ancestor and the Dwarf Demon Ancestor did not speak, but their eyes flickered oddly.
Anyone with a bit of sense would not think the Crystal Clan had anything to do with the Third Realm powerhouse whose identity remained hidden to this day.
As the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan had said, the biggest suspect in this matter turned out to be the Half-demon Clan, the victimized party.
At this moment, they thought of many things.
Such as the old enmity between the Half-demon Clan and the Dead Ghost Clan.
And the impulsive and thoughtless traditions of the Half-demon Clan.
Considering this…
It seemed quite reasonable for them to kick the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost while he was down at this time.
The more they thought about it, the more suspicious the two looked at the Half-demon Ancestor.
"Why are you looking at me?" The Half-demon Ancestor roared, his face cycling through several expressions as he belatedly realized that he seemed to be taking the fall.
The death of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost at this crucial time left him in a passive position.
The useless old Lauterlein, descending to the Second Rank to be killed by a member of the Human Race from the Second Realm, and now he's dragging him down too!
"Gentlemen, what seems to be most important right now isn't who killed Lauterlein," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit spoke lightly, "What we should be focusing on is the Human Race."
"The leader of the Human Race just made a Breakthrough to the Second Realm and then slew the descended Lauterlein."
"When he Breakthroughs to the Third Realm, who among us will be able to defeat him?"
At this statement, the room fell into dead silence once more.
"Pang Jialai, you are the least qualified to say this." The Dwarf Demon Ancestor laughed coldly, "If not for the constant sideline stance of the Moon Spirit Clan and their hidden aid to the Human Race, they would never have had the chance to enter the Second Rank."
"That was then." The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit stated seriously, "Who could have anticipated the leader of the Human Race to be so powerful?"
"Going forward, my clan will cooperate with you all, united against the Human Race."
The stance of the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit relieved the tension of the other deities from the Third Realm.
"The strength of the Human Race lies in their leader," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit slowly said, "Now that Luo has entered the Second Rank, he can only act in the First Rank in a descended form, and descending has a cooldown period."
"We outnumber the Human Race in the Second Rank, and as long as we hide ourselves well and are not discovered by Luo, we could continuously descend to prevent Luo from providing support."
"This actually paves the way forward in the First Rank."
Upon hearing these words, the other Third Ranks couldn't help but nod in agreement.
The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit, having existed the longest at the Heavenly Dome Rank, rightly pinpointed the crux of the matter.
"So how shall we deal with Luo?" the Dragon Ancestor asked gravely, "His power is too bizarre; facing him in our descended states might well follow in Lauterlein's footsteps."
Although they looked down upon the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, they all knew that among those of the Third Rank, there wouldn't be much difference in strength.
If Luo could deal with the descended Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, then he could handle them as well.
If it were just a matter of being killed in a descended state, that would be one thing.
But with an unknown Third Realm entity hiding in the Third Rank who could take advantage of a situation to kill the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, they might use the same method against them.
This made all the ancestors wary.
"It seems none of you are willing to descend," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit sighed, "But wait for the opponent to reach the Third Rank, even if all five of us join forces, we might not be his match."
"Then let's join forces to find that unknown Third Realm entity and eliminate him," the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan suggested, looking at the grim-faced Half-demon Ancestor.
Eliminating that Third Realm entity would at least give everyone peace of mind to descend.
Only thus, could they face the leader of the Human Race.
"Then so be it," agreed the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit with a slight nod, and her tone shifted, "Now that Lauterlein is dead, how shall we handle the Dead Ghost Clan?"
"Pang Jialai, it seems you already have some ideas." The Dragon Ancestor eyed the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit and slowly said, "Perhaps you should share your thoughts."
"That's fine." The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit smiled, "To counterbalance the Human Race, it's always good to have more allies. Though the Dead Ghost Clan has lost their Third and Second Rank leaders, they are still very powerful."
