Half an hour later in the forest.
“Whoosh~, whoosh~, whoosh~…”
The sound of air being torn apart was heard before abruptly stopping.
After that, a few elderly people were standing beside several corpses. Each elder was a top-tier powerhouse on the continent, releasing an unshakable aura from their bodies. Their eyes were narrowed slightly to show a hint of doubt in their eyes.
“Brother Tian Jian, what do you think happened?”
“Heaven’s Chosen Power was definitely used here. Even though it’s not strong, the energy and this Heaven’s Chosen Power are somewhat similar to that powerhouse from the devil sect. But he hasn’t appeared for thousands of years already. Rumor has it that he has ascended and entered the dao and gone to a higher plane. Could it be…”
“Humph~!”
“What are you talking about?! How dare you doubt my Abyss Ancestor?! Do you think he would come out of seclusion to kill such an unknown junior? You are basically insulting him!”
There were powerhouses from orthodox sects and powerhouses from the devil sect present.
They came out to look and see who was using Heaven’s Chosen Power, and whether a new Heaven’s Chosen had appeared on the continent.
Hai Tongtian walked out of the darkness, faintly trembling with each step. Seeing his son’s head separated from his body, the anger he released was like a thousand-year-old iceberg. He clenched his teeth, slowly bent down, and picked up his son’s head. He then swept his gaze across the people present and said, “I don’t care who it is. Once I find the beast who killed my son, I will make him wish he was dead!”
Everyone shuddered.
Many powerhouses had an invisible smile on their faces.
The Hai family.
They were very strong.
They were the strongest king level force, yet so what?
Someone still dared to move against them. Even the current patriarch’s son has been killed, which shows that the perpetrator was not afraid of the Hai family.
Behind Hai Tongtian followed two black-robed elders. Their faces could not be seen clearly, as if a layer of mist covered their faces. One of the elders looked over and stared at the powerhouse who had unconsciously revealed a smile.
With just one glance, that powerhouse suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling all over. His face had instantly paled.
The black-robed elder then said, “You all better remember the words of the Hai family’s patriarch. Otherwise, who knows when your heads will be relocated!”
The voice was very calm.
But the calm voice was filled with arrogance, domineering, and an irresistible power. It was as if they were the heavens, the masters, and the gods above everything. Only one type of person possesses this aura.
Those chosen by heaven, sorcerers!
The surrounding powerhouses’ faces darkened, and none dared to speak again. They didn’t even dare to harbor thoughts of disdain in their hearts.
Hai Tongtian picked up his son’s body, turned, and walked into the darkness. He then started muttering, “Yulong, father is taking you home. Father is taking you home. Father will definitely avenge you, he definitely will. Even if I turn the Central Continent upside down, I will find your murderer, and I will definitely make him die a miserable death a hundred times worse than yours.” 𝖗ἁ𝐍ꝋ𝐛Èʂ

He only had two sons. How could he not be angry now that one had suddenly died?
In the darkness, an elderly person asked, “Patriarch, should we have the Crown Prince exit seclusion? His understanding of Heaven’s Chosen Power is deeper than ours, and he also possesses that power. He will definitely know who killed the Second Young Master.”
“Notify him…”
“His little brother died, so as the older brother, he should know about it.”
“But then again, I don’t want him to be distracted. He is at a critical moment in breaking through to the Honorable Emperor realm, and Yulong’s death will definitely distract him. It will also disrupt our plan. He is the person chosen by heaven, and we can’t let heaven be disappointed in him,” said Hai Tongtian.
He pondered for a moment before saying, “Don’t tell him about Yulong’s death for now. Wait until he comes out of seclusion.”
His youngest son died, but he still has his eldest son.
He knew his eldest son’s temper the best.
The Hai family’s Crown Prince’s favorite person wasn’t his father, but his younger brother.
If he were to find out about this, he would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Hai Tongtian didn’t want him to come out of seclusion at a critical moment. Once he becomes an Honorable Emperor realm powerhouse, neither Misty Cloud Academy nor Abyss Academy will be a match for him. His Hai family will control the entire Central Continent!
The old man bowed slightly and said, “As you command.”
Misty Cloud Academy, in a secret chamber.
The dean and several elders were silent.
They were all pondering a question.
Who exactly killed Hai Yulong, and who had used Heaven’s Chosen Power?
A powerhouse from the devil sects?
A powerhouse from the orthodox sects?
Or some unknown enemy of the Hai family?
Given the Hai family’s current strength and status, no force would dare to recklessly move against them, let alone kill the current patriarch’s son. This person was also the Hai family’s Crown Prince’s beloved younger brother. Logically speaking, no one would dare to do so!
Or was it a force from another continent?
Have foreign powerhouses infiltrated the Central Continent?
It was impossible to guess!
No one had any clue.
After a long silence, the dean then said, “With Hai Yulong being killed, the Hai family will inevitably experience some sort of turmoil. And there will be a series of actions from them. Hai Tongtian may accelerate the pace of unifying the Central Continent, and if that happens…”
He didn’t continue speaking because the Misty Cloud Academy would be the first to bear the brunt of those actions in Misty Cloud City.
In recent years, talent has been dwindling at the Misty Cloud Academy with no one to take over. Some super grade talent disciples were recruited and cultivated, but before they could fully grow, they were poached by the Hai family or they died mysteriously.
Even an idiot would know what was going on.
Faced with this, the Misty Cloud Academy could do nothing.
The conditions they could offer were far inferior to those of the Hai family.
Moreover, the power that the Hai family wielded was simply too strong. If you don’t agree to their conditions, then the outcome would be death. So, most talented martial artists wouldn’t refuse them.
Now that the Hai family’s power was growing day by day, the pressure the Misty Cloud Academy faced was unimaginable.
An elder added to the discussion, “This may be the fuse that starts it all. Why did something have to happen at this time? Sigh~, no one knows who did it. Actually using Heaven’s Chosen Power to deal with two martial artists in the Great Diffusion realm. Isn’t that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito? It was completely unnecessary!”
“Did you all notice?”
“The two assassins on the Poseidon ranking died from Heaven’s Chosen Power, but Hai Yulong didn’t. He should have died first, otherwise, the injuries to his body would have been the same as the two assassins.”
“So what? The person who can use Heaven’s Chosen Power can kill in whatever way they prefer.”
“Now is not the time to discuss those things. Do you want to help the Hai family catch the murderer or something? If we can really catch them, I think we should get them to join our Misty Cloud Academy. That way, we would have a sorcerer help us restrain the Hai family.”
“Quit dreaming.”
“Let’s stop talking about that. The most pressing issue now is how to deal with the Hai family’s next moves.”
After a series of discussions, the dean finally stood up and said softly, “The Huang family, the Yi family, and the Di family…these forces do not want the Hai family to become too powerful. They are also worried about the Hai family’s next move after Hai Yulong was killed. For now, I think the only solution is to form an alliance with them!”
