Chapter 1510: Falling Into a Trap

The ancient family alliance was composed of all the powerful ancient families. Their inheritance stretched back all the way into the ancient era.

After the battle of the immortal era, the majority of the powerful families at that time were destroyed, and only a small portion survived.

Then after experiencing successive dark eras, the ancient families declined and were whittled down by the flow of time.

After the last dark era, the Martial Heaven Continent became filled with strife and internal conflict. The battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths in particular grew to a greater intensity. The flames of battle spread throughout the continent.

The ancient families that were on the verge of fading out of existence finally banded together, forming the ancient family alliance to jointly face their enemies.

These enemies weren’t people they had offended. These enemies were people greedy for the powerful foundations and wealth of the ancient families.

Anything that came from the ancient era had to have powerful origins. Some ancient inheritances or secret tomes were enough to make anyone envious.

If these ancient families hadn’t banded together, both the Corrupt path and the Righteous path would pose a great danger to them.

After the ancient family alliance formed, they began fighting alongside the Righteous path against the Corrupt path.

That was because before they formed their alliance, it had been the Corrupt path who had launched several sneak attacks on them, s.n.a.t.c.hing their wealth as well as their secret arts.

It was because the Corrupt path was the main offender that they ended up planting the seed of hatred. Although the ancient family alliance couldn’t count as a member of the Righteous path, they would always stand on their side as soon as it came to standing against the Corrupt path.

It was thanks to the Righteous path and the ancient family alliance joining hands that the Corrupt path, which had been growing in power, was finally suppressed again. They could only hide in the dark and secretly raise their power.

After the ancient family alliance was formed, the ancient families finally had a measure of safety and began to rapidly grow. After all, although they had declined, they had powerful foundations and inheritances. It was just that they didn’t reveal them for fear of drawing killers.

In the end, after so many years of development, the ancient families grew stronger. Now some powerful families were finally revealed.

The Sha family was one of those. Back when the ancient family alliance was first formed, they were an extremely unremarkable family.

However, in the last few centuries, the effects of their powerful foundation were brought to bear. They actually possessed a divine item that maintained their karmic luck.

Back then they had been extremely weak and focused entirely on growing unnoticed. Once they were powerful enough to be fearless, they began to show their power. All those powers that had once offended the Sha family had to pay miserable prices. Even five of the ancient families were destroyed by them.

Those five ancient families had once bullied and kept the Sha family down. But now the Sha family had grown to the point that they were one of the top three ancient families in the Eastern Xuan Region.

The other two were well established as the top powers, but the Sha family’s rise ruined their original board. It now became a three-way deadlock. It could be seen how powerful the Sha family had grown.

Giving rise to an Empyrean in the form of Sha Guangyan in particular had set the Sha family’s rise in stone. They had been prepared to shake the Eastern Xuan Region.

Unfortunately, Sha Guangyan, who had been supposed to rise to glory, had only just released a bit of light before he was beaten down from the heavens.

This beating dumbfounded the Sha family. This beating had been given to them by Long Chen in the Spirit World. It was such a strong beating that the Sha family was seeing stars.

Their peerless genius Sha Guangyan had been defeated, and extremely miserably at that. Not only had he lost to Long Chen, but Leng Yueyan had cut off one of his arms as well. It was practically an insult to the entire Sha family.

When they heard that Long Chen had appeared in the Eastern Xuan City, the Sha family’s master had directly gone out with Sha Guangyan and their divine item to kill Long Chen, wiping away their humiliation.

Yet, that plan had also been ruined by Long Chen. Three Empyreans had still been miserably defeated, and if it hadn’t been for the heavenly tribulation locking onto Long Chen in the end, the three of them would definitely have been killed.

Most depressing of all, even when three experts on the same level as their family master had joined hands with divine items to seal Long Chen, he had still gotten away. That slap in the face was too resounding.

The Sha family was located in an ancient city within the Eastern Xuan Region. The surroundings were filled with rising and falling mountains, and everything within tens of thousands of miles was the Sha family’s territory.

On this day, a person appeared within the mountains and stealthily approached the city. It was Long Chen.

Long Chen had two targets. One was Peng Wansheng and the other was Sha Guangyan. But after considering things, he had chosen Sha Guangyan.

That was because the Sha family was located in a rather remote area. There weren’t any powerful forces nearby that could reinforce them. All the ancient families had their own territories.

As for the ancient races, because they didn’t like mixing with the human race, they gathered in their own region, far away from them.

The Sha family had to be rich and not just in money. Their heaven and earth divine spring had to contain a great amount of karmic luck, or they wouldn’t be able to give rise to an Empyrean.
