Chapter 301 - Arrival of a Powerful Enemy (1/2)
In a mysterious base of the Taichu Group.
If there were to be any outsiders present, they would have been able to tell in the shortest amount of time that there were over 100 people present in the place.
Every one of them was some top-notch figure who was of high status in the Taichu Group, and they were definitely far above those outsiders.
They were the true core members of the company, and every one of them emanated an extremely forceful aura about them.
Every single one of them was a formidable martial artist.
The weakest among them were at least cultivators at the National Guardian level. They were a good number of Deity Level and Invincible Vajra Level beings among them as well.
The ones who stood at the very front among all of them were all the people in charge of the entire Taichu Group.
Every single true leader of the clans emanated extremely powerful aura, overwhelming the place.
All of them were in the Celestial Realm.
One could say that despite their corporate image, the power that the Taichu Group packed was almost every bit comparable to goliaths of the likes of the Maoshan Sect, which was backed by ancient heritages.
All those people in charge held the key to and were the core of the lifeline of the entire Taichu Group.
However, all of those people were looking at an altar not far away with very tense expressions.
Lin Miaoyi, who was dressed in white and looked like some fairy that did not belong among mortals, was among the crowd.
She, at the moment, had no one else around her. However, the gaze of many of those of the younger generation fell upon her.
As her cultivation progressed, her aura became increasingly exceptional. Her facial features had always been meticulously chiseled ones, and thus she looked even more like some demigod at the moment.
But then again, she paid no heed to the gaze that the crowd piled on her. She kept her eyes on the altar.
A woman was kneeling right below the altar at that moment. There was a token gilded in gold hovering above the altar.
“Luo Ying, a member of the younger generation of the Luo Clan, hereby breaks out the token, requesting for someone among the clans to take revenge for my fallen clansmen.”
A rather ferocious expression was seen on the beautiful face of that woman.
That woman was none other than Luo Ying.
She was the last surviving member of the entire formerly glorious Luo Clan. All the wealth that the now-dead clan amassed had been picked clean by all the other clans.
One could even say that all members of the other clans present had the blood of those of the Luo Clan on their hands.
Lu Xuan had annihilated the Luo Clan single-handedly, and those people from the other clans were the ones to lay the final nail on the coffin, killing every single other remnant and getting rid of any possibility of the now-dead clan ever rising again.
She was only able to escape that fate that fell onto the other members of her clan because she was a woman.
To put it precisely, she was spared and lived to that day, because there was hardly anyone who considered her to be a threat.
However, all of that ended as she broke out that token of hers.
She knew that all those other amicable, friendly-looking uncles right behind her, at the moment, wanted to see her torn to pieces more than anything.
That was because she was about to summon the true backing to the Taichu Group—the Taichu Path.
All she relied on to do so was the token that she had just broken out. It was an artifact that every clan possessed, but no one had ever thought of using it before.
Every clan had only one, and one representative could only present it. Furthermore, it was a one-time-use thing.
Based on the degree at which Spirit Qi was restored to the world before, they could have only been a National Guardian or a Deity at most, making their way through to Earth via the passage.
However, someone of that level would not have been of much use, as a massive barrage of bullets could easily put them down.
That was why nobody in the crowd ever thought of using the token. At the very least, nobody truly needed to use it until the present day.
