NOVEL NEXT Chapter 328: Flipping the Table! Six Ancestors Fall in a Single Day! (Two in One)
"I feel that this issue is significant."
Feng Yin, who took the initiative to contact Qin Chuan, spoke in a deep voice, his tone serious and solemn, "The appearance of the Ancestor of the Lan Clan is not so simple."
Upon hearing Feng Yin's words, Qin Chuan's expression subtly changed, "Have you discovered something?"
"Indeed, I have." Feng Yin slowly began, "Blessed by Prayer, today I received an extremely important message."
"Once a clan successfully ascends to the Heavenly Dome Rank and registers to participate in the Clan War, corresponding seats will appear in the Second and Third Ranks." Feng Yin's voice paused slightly, "Conquering the Dream World is only to strip that clan of the possibility to rise again completely."
"However, from the perspective of rules, they are still participants in the Clan War and haven't withdrawn from it."
"What do you mean?" Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged glances, their expressions quickly becoming grave.
"Although the Lan Clan has perished, their seat in the Third Rank is still reserved; theoretically, an ancestor of the Lan Clan could emerge."
"A mysterious Third Realm appeared a thousand years ago, where the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan and others severely wounded the Half-demon Ancestor. The timing also corresponds with when the Lan Clan ascended to the Heavenly Dome Rank."
"But..." Feng Yin's voice hesitated for a moment, "Is that Lan Clan Ancestor really from the Lan Clan?"
"Is it possible that some clan has used some special means to take over this seat, allowing their own clan to have two ancestors?"
Substitution...
Qin Chuan's face quickly turned solemn.
Before Feng Yin shared this new intelligence, Qin Chuan had never speculated in this direction.
But now...
It had to be said that Feng Yin's conjecture was very likely to be true.
"This suspected substitute ancestor of the Lan Clan has died," Lin Yue said softly, "but the Ancestors of the Dead Ghost and the Crystal Clan are also dead."
"Yes," Qin Chuan nodded slightly, "If the other party has the ability to deceive and substitute other clans."
"Then it's likely that the seats of the Ancestors of the Dead Ghost and the Crystal Clan will soon be covertly taken over by them."
"If they have the ability to introduce a new Ancestor of the Lan Clan, then there will be a clan with four ancestors."
Four ancestors in one clan, a chilling thought.
"However, in the end, they showed their fox tail," Feng Yin spoke softly, "Perhaps your killing of the original Crystal Clan Ancestor was beyond their expectation, leading to flaws in their original plans, and in their hurried deployment, some errors were made."
"The new Crystal Clan ancestor was quickly slain; it was their emergency arrangement to take over the Crystal Clan's seat in the Third Rank."
"Combining the fact that the Ancestor of the Lan Clan perished shortly after the new Crystal Clan Ancestor fell, they did not take action personally, but instead, they instructed the Ancestor of the Lan Clan to do so."
"The substitute ancestor of the Lan Clan, after all, is not a true Lan Clan member; there must be some differences between him and the Lan Clan."
"If he doesn't want to let other ancestors discover this..."
"He will personally kill the Lan Clan Ancestor." Qin Chuan took over Feng Yin's words, "Whoever killed the Ancestor of the Lan Clan is the real culprit."
Although Qin Chuan was not clear about the specific situation in the Third Rank and didn't know who the Lan Clan Ancestor had perished at the hands of, at this moment, he had an answer in mind.
Feng Yin chuckled, "What do you think will happen if we spread this message?"
A flickering light danced in Qin Chuan's eyes.
It sounded like a good idea.
Since the Heavenly Dome Rank was already in chaos, why not stir it up even more.
"Let's do it!"
-----------------
"Pang Jialai!!!"
With three furious roars, the Half-demon Ancestor, the Dwarf Demon Ancestor, and the Dragon Ancestor descended at the same time, glaring at the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit seated cross-legged in the void.
"The Ancestor of the Lan Clan, was it you Moon Spirits who substituted?"
The three ancestors still had an incredulous look on their faces. When they received this news, which had already spread throughout the Heavenly Dome Rank from their clan members, they simply couldn't believe it.
The Ancestor of the Lan Clan was killed by the Moon Spirit right under their noses; they had never suspected anyone from the Moon Spirit!
After all, since the notification text appeared, the other party must have truly died.
"Esteemed ones, this is a rumor spread by the Human Race." The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit remained composed, "You believed them just because they said so?"
"Our four clans infighting would benefit the Human Race."
"This is nothing more than a low and malicious trick; the desire of the Human Race to sow discord amongst us is just this trivial."
"There's no need for so much talk, I'll just ask one thing," the Dragon Ancestor spoke with a heavy voice, "Why did you destroy the body after killing the Lan Clan Ancestor?"
They were, after all, ancestors of a clan. How could they believe mere rumors and come straight to confront the Moon Spirit Ancestor?
The reason they stormed here was because, in light of the rumors swiftly spreading through the Heavenly Dome Rank, they had indeed found something suspicious in the process of the Lan Clan Ancestor's demise.
That was the Moon Spirit Ancestor using a second strike to destroy the body after killing the Lan Clan Ancestor with one hit.
At the time, they were stunned by the identity of the Lan Clan Ancestor and subconsciously overlooked this detail.
But now...
If the Lan Clan Ancestor wasn't from the Lan Clan, everything made sense.
How could they not believe the contents of the rumors?
The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit remained silent.
He could have fabricated excuses and reasons, like he hated the other party too much, so he couldn't help but eradicate the corpse and traces.
But such an excuse was too far-fetched, and it wouldn't fool the three ancestors.
Well, maybe it could fool the Half-demon Ancestor, but the other two were thinkers.
Seeing the silence of the Moon Spirit Ancestor, the Dwarf Demon Ancestor gripped a Giant Axe tightly, an aura of terrifying momentum swirling around him.
