Chapter 434 - The Empires Crisis (2) (1/2)
”It was the time where my father can match all four sovereigns, making the Empire the strongest power within the Myriad Earth Abyss Continent, none dare to challenge its authority.”
”But suddenly, my father was attacked by unknown powers, he came back terribly wounded and soon died after two years.”
”My brother became his successor, but then, something happened to him as well after five years of handling the clan's affairs, he was never seen after his mission.”
Two of the strongest experts of the Ouyang Clan was lost within no more than ten years, making us suffer terrible losses, as I am the only person in line, I was made the Patriarch of the Ouyang Clan.”
”But I'm not really strong, I'm not a genius like my brother nor was I a great expert like my father.”
”Our clan slowly became the 2nd strongest clan in the Empire, not the Myriad Earth Abyss continent.”
”But when my son was born, we nurtured him, and just after reaching sixteen years of age, he became the Ouyang Clan's pillar and already reached Celestial Phenomenon rank.”
”And when he turned 46, I handed him the seat of the Patriarch as he at the same time reached Divine Origin rank.”
”Then, everything is going smoothly till it happened three years ago.”
”He was in a mission with a group of elders before we lost connection with them, all of their soul essences were also destroyed within the clan chamber, by then, we knew that they've suffered an ill fate.”
”We've tried to search for their remains, but we only found the aftermath of their battle, nothing else.”
”Since then, we've dropped from the 2nd all the way to the 4th strongest clan, it was also due to our loyalty to the empire that we've remained as one of the great four clans.”
”Our final hope lies within the siblings, but they show no potential as experts, but they are kind-hearted like their mother, also, we gave up and just wished to stay as a normal clan.”
”But the Empire wishes us to be with them till the end.”
”As the days grew by, it also happened, the Empire was attacked, our presence was almost nothing, we were like normal soldiers of the Empire as we were mostly ignored, we thought we also won as the Emperor chased the enemy out of the southern territory.”
Ouyang Tou paused for a bit before continuing: ”But he returned completely injured, all of those that were with him chasing after the enemies couldn't come back anymore.”
”That incident caused the Empire's strength to grow weaker by more than half.”
”The long family, who was tasked that time to defend the Empire was actually hooligans that works under the Church as well.”
”With the Choi Clan vanishing and the Long Clan being chased, the only clans remaining are the Ouyang Clan who's already weak and Tu Clan, the only remaining true strongest clan of the Empire.”
”Although they have suffered tremendous losses as well, they remained strong as they had been.”
Mo Xie became confused: ”Then, aren't you the least bit suspicious of them?”
”Suspicious? of them?” Ouyang Tou couldn't help but smile: ”Everyone can betray the empire, but the Tu Clan will never do so.”
”After all, they had already become a bit stronger than the Empire for a few tens of years already.”
”And also, if that old coot actually wanted to take the throne, the Empire's monarch would've gladly handed it to them. The Emperor and he are actually sworn brother.”
