423 Alliance! (2/2)
Now, his family clan gave him an answer after his inquiries. During this period, the entire Chen family had been busy studying the small drum, even seeking out the elder of the family. They had finally learned the identity of the person who had delivered the small drum to Chen Mu. He was someone related to the Divine Armament Catacombs.
They could see the advantages and disadvantages of the collaboration, but most importantly, they had verified repeatedly that the small drum was indeed the core device that controlled a certain puppet!
They didn't know what puppet it was, but its strength rivaled a perfected Core Formation realm cultivator!
This caught the Chen family's interest, as the elder of the Chen family was also at the perfected Core Formation realm. With this puppet, the Chen family's strength would double!
They discussed at length. Coincidentally, Chen Mu had come asking. Chen Mu's father stepped forth then and gave Chen Mu an answer!
”Mu'er, you can go ahead with this collaboration… but you must keep it a secret. If anything happens, this will be on your head. The family clan will have nothing to do with this!
”But the Grand Elder told me to tell you that if you're able to successfully wield this perfected Core Formation realm puppet and escape unscathed after this incident, you'll inherit the position as the head of the Chen family clan. There will even be a place for you in the clan's council of elders!”
Chen Mu's heart dropped when he heard the first half of what his father had said. After he heard the second half though, his breathing quickened. Blood colored the veins in his eyes, and they glowed with a fierce light. He knew the power that he would possess after becoming the head of the family. He also knew what it meant to have a place in the council of elders in the clan. This was the highest position one could aspire to in the entire Five Generation Sky Clan!
He would have the authority and power to speak to the Head Senator on equal footing.
A tinge of madness colored Chen Mu's eyes. After speaking further with his father and finding out that the family clan had analyzed the origins of the small drum, he ended the transmission.
Chen Mu placed his voice transmission ring down and took a deep breath. The rage and murderous intent he had felt because of Li Wan'er was unleashed without concealment that instant. He was filled with determination and decisiveness. He gritted his teeth and came to a decision. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
So what if we're working with an unknown entity from the Divine Armament Catacombs!
Even if it turns out to be an evil demon, I don't care. As long as this succeeds, I'll be able to build a bright future for myself. I'm betting everything… on this!
A terrible light shone in Chen Mu's eyes. After he made up his mind, he contacted his family clan. Then, he waited. A few days later… the small drum was delivered to him by someone from the family clan. That night, with a tinge of madness in his eyes, Chen Mu began to sound the small drum!
As soon as the small drum sounded, the secret chamber that he was in suddenly turned ice cold. An invisible wind suddenly swept through the room, blowing in all directions. Frost appeared on the walls, the ice grew thicker, and finally, the entire secret chamber was transformed into an ice cave!
The chill was black and exuded an immensely cold and dark intent.
”I agree to the alliance. But… how are you going to guarantee that I'll be able to control this perfected Core Formation realm puppet that you speak of? You must let me have this puppet first!” Chen Mu was feeling slightly chilly. For his bright future, though, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
As his voice rang in the secret chamber, a sudden blurry figure appeared in the frosted layers on the wall. It seemed to be inside the ice, as if the ice contained a separate world. It was a man in black robes. His features were indistinct. However, as soon as he appeared, Chen Mu's breath froze. He could feel a terrifying aura surging forward and overpowering him.
He shuddered. He couldn't control himself from staggering a few steps backward with shock in his eyes. Before he could speak further, the ancient, low and raspy voice of the black-robed man rang out from within the ice.
”The puppet that you want… must be crafted by yourself. I will teach you how to make it… as for the guarantee of control… you will use your own blood to feed and nourish the small drum. It will become yours and form the core of the puppet…
”But because of certain reasons, which your family clan may be aware of, you can only craft the puppet here… I only ask one thing of you… when the puppet is successfully made, you must kill… Wang Baole!”
