Ch. 1161..1170

Chapter 1161 A Galaxy Warship was speeding ahead in the void. Inside the ship were David and the others. This time, David did not just take a Galaxy Warship from Planet Grim. He also brought along the middle–aged man who had been planted with a slave mark.

Or rather, that middle–aged man insisted on following David and wanted to serve him as his master because David avenged him and his planet.

David pitied this man.

After all, he had almost been like him.

The middle–aged man‘s name was Balu.

He had a peaceful and prosperous life on a tiny planet. According to Balu, that planet was tiny and even smaller than the moon. Not many people stayed there, so it was still pretty primitive.

This was until the Grim family went and destroyed their peaceful life more than a hundred years ago. Back then, Balu was very young, and his father was the head of the planet.

After the Grim family planted their slave mark on the planet, Balu and his family were brought to Planet Grim. From that day on, they lived like slaves. Hundreds of years passed, and Balu had no idea if anyone was still living on that planet. Thus, he hoped David could take him back to his planet to check on his homeland. To be honest, David could not say no to this request. He was not cold blooded. Even though he would waste more time, David decided to take Balu back to his planet. The slave mark‘s feedback to the planter was closely related to the talent of the victim. S

Even though the Grim family planted their slave mark on Balu‘s planet, since this planet was still primitive and had limited talents, its feedback to the Grim family was not that great. Hence, the Grim family never improved in these hundreds of years.

If it were Earth, then it would be a different story. David from the other timeline said after a declining family like the Tuffin family planted a slave mark on Earth, they prospered. After that, Pavan, the family‘s eldest son, became the Master of the Milky Way. In that timeline, the Tuffin family‘s status was even higher than the Barlowe family, which was also the royal family of the Milky Way Empire. This showed how talented and rare earthlings were.

“Master, since you‘re so powerful, do you know any way to remove the slave mark? I‘ll pay any price if I can get rid of the slave mark,” Balu, the middle–aged man, asked expectantly. David did not answer. He only shook his head to show that he did not know. From what he knew, a bloodline curse from the slave mark was impossible to remove once it was planted. At the very least, a level 3 civilization like the Milky Way could not remove it. It was unknown if the other higher–level civilizations could.

Even if David was powerful and the strongest in the Milky Way, he had limited knowledge.

After all, he came from a remote planet like Earth and did not spend much time growing.

Balu was disappointed when he saw David shaking his head. If someone powerful like David, who viewed the Grim family as ants, had no idea of how to fix this, then who would?

“You don‘t have to be too disappointed. Even though we don‘t have a way to remove it here in the Milky Way, it doesn‘t mean the higher–level civilizations don‘t. We need to find out and discover this slowly,” David comforted. “I got it, Master. From now on, I will do anything for you to repay your grace. I hope you can keep me around,” Balu said after kneeling in front of David and kowtowing to him. “Balu, you don‘t have to do this,” David said.

“Master, I won‘t get up if you don‘t say yes. I‘ve nowhere to go. I will only have a glimmer of hope if I‘m with you. Even though I know I am weak, I promise your enemies will have to step over my dead body if they want to hurt you,” Balu said firmly.

David knew Balu was being sincere.

After he thought about it, David decided to keep Balu.

He needed someone to work for him now anyway.

Right now, the people driving the Galaxy Warship were Pavan‘s people. To be honest, David did not like this.

However, he could not find suitable people for the job, so he had kept them around.

David would feel more at ease using someone like Balu.

“Alright, you should stay with me from now on, but if you want, you can leave at any time. I won‘t stop you.”

Chapter 1162 “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”

Balu answered happily while kowtowing non–stop. “That‘s enough. I am very casual, and I don‘t like all this complicated etiquette. Don‘t do it to me anymore.” After David said that, he waved his hard and helped Balu up with his mind power. “Yes, Master. I understand.” After Balu said that, he took a step backward. “Balu, do you remember where your home is?” “Yes, I do. Even though so much time has passed, I always wanted to go back to visit my people.”

“Go to the control room and tell them the direction. We‘ll stop by your home first.” “Thank you, Master! I will never forget your kindness and grace!”

“I told you not to be so polite with me. Off you go.” Balu left the room happily and headed to the control room.

He was about to return to his previous home, so he was very excited.

After Balu left, David said, “Mia, we might need to change our plan. We‘re not going to Planet Royal now because I just remembered there are many things I need to do.” “That‘s up to you. I‘ll go wherever you go,” Mia said. “We‘ll fulfill Balu‘s laugh before we do the rest.”

“Yes, David.”

Planet Callisto in the Royal Region. Right now, the Callisto family was very lively. This was because they were hosting a family meeting, and almost all of the cores were back. This time, they were looking for the first heir of the family, meaning they were going to determine the head of the younger generation. Initially, three people were eligible to compete for this position, Fergus, Beck, and Micah Callisto. Right now, Fergus was crippled, so Beck and Micah were the only ones left.

Once the next head of the younger generation was determined, the title would not go to

anyone else unless anything significant happened. . The head of the younger generation would be the next head of the family.

Everyone figured that since Fergus was crippled, the family felt a sense of urgency, so they wanted to determine the next heir as soon as possible.

Moreover, the grandmasters were the one who announced this. Initially, the family was very concerned about Fergus being crippled. No matter what, he used to be a direct descendant who was eligible to compete for the title of head of the younger generation.

Even if he was crippled, they had to find who did that and make them pay. However, Fergus refused to say when his family asked him about that. Back then, he had already fused with the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s genes, and his strength skyrocketed. Hence, he wanted to seek revenge on David himself. Furthermore, his family found out from Heathcliffe that this was related to Planet Boundless. Planet Boundless was related to the Lutgen family and Princess Astrid‘s incident. Therefore, the Callisto family stopped looking into this. They would only decide after this pressing issue was over. If not, the Callisto family would not sit idly by after David crippled Fergus. This was not what the second–ranked family among the eight prominent families would do.

However, since it was related to Princess Astrid and the Sangruil Sinners, the Callisto family had no choice but to tread carefully.

Beck and Micah came in their Sunday best.

They were the main characters today.

One of them would become the first heir of the family.

When they thought about how they might be the head of the younger generation, they were ecstatic.

Moreover, they did not think they would lose to each other.

Chapter 1163 The election for the first heir of the Callisto family was going on as planned. This time, it was not just about strength. The core‘s support would also be considered, while even external forces would be counted.

It would be useless if they only had strength but could not convince the masses.

Strength was necessary for a huge force, but it was more important to coordinate the affairs of the entire family, lead the family down the right path, and strengthen the family.

Therefore, this was not a simple battle of strength.

The candidates would also be tested on other abilities.

Even if Beck and Micah had the most potential to become the head of the younger generation, this did not mean they were the only ones taking part in this election.

The other direct descendants were also taking part.

No one could be sure if there would be a dark horse among them.

However, after one whole day, there was no sign of a dark horse.

The election for the first heir of the Callisto family ended with Beck winning with slight advantage.

However, even if Beck won, he did not gain any official acknowledgment from the grandmasters.

He could only become the head of the younger generation if the grandmasters acknowledged him. By then, he would control the entire family after the current head abdicated.

“The Callisto family‘s election is over. Please move to the reception hall to wait for Grandmaster so we can pay respects to our ancestors. After that, we will announce the results.”

The family‘s core moved to the Callisto family‘s reception hall one after another.

On the way, Beck was accepting everyone‘s blessings in high spirits.

Right now, it had been decided.

Beck was almost certain to be the next head of the younger generation.

Nothing would change that anymore.

“Congratulations on the victory, Master Beck! Once Grandmaster is here and we pay respects to the ancestors, you will be the head of the younger generation.” “Everyone expected you to win the final victory, Master Beck! You will definitely lead the Callisto family to more glory in the future.”

“Master Beck is such a rare genius of the family. You‘re the chosen one in the Royal Region, so it‘s not strange for you to win the final victory.”

Countless cores of the family were praising Beck.

Beck did not dare to act recklessly when faced with so much goodwill from the core elders.

Even though he was just the head of the younger generation, he would need these people‘s support after he became the actual head and took over the family. If not, his life would be hard.

He could only stop fearing these people after he took complete control of the family. “Thank you, Elders. From now on, I‘ll need your support. If I made any mistake, I hope you can forgive me,” Beck put his hands together and said politely.

“Master Beck, you‘re too courteous. You‘re the head of the younger generation of the Callisto family. Who would we support if not you?” “Yeah, we will definitely listen to your orders, Master Beck.”

Micah followed behind desolately.

He watched everyone revolving around Beck. He would be lying if he said he was not envious. Not only was he envious, but he was also jealous and hateful. If Beck were not around, this would all be his.

Even if Beck were almost certain to be the head of the younger generation, Micah would not give up. It would take some time for Beck to go from head of the younger generation to the head of the family

If something happened to Beck midway, like what had happened to Fergus, everything would return to Micah.

Micah looked at Beck in front of him with hatred in his eyes. The Callistos exchanged pleasantries and arrived at the Callisto family‘s reception hall. The head of the family, Marco Callisto, was not sitting in the main seat.

Instead, he was sitting in the first row of the hall.

This was because the grandmaster would be here soon, and the seat was reserved for him. All kinds of sumptuous food and wine were placed on the table in the hall.

Chapter 1164 After everyone sat down accordingly, Marco stood up and said, “Thanks for the hard work. everyone. Let‘s feast. We‘ll pay respects to our ancestors after the grandmaster is here. Then, we‘ll announce the final candidate for the head of the younger generation.”

The middle of the hall became lively.

Soon after they ate, someone lifted their wine glass to toast Beck, the next head of the younger generation.

Beck did not refuse.

For the ones with power, wine was just like an everyday beverage to them.

It would not affect their body no matter how much they drank.

Micah looked at Beck with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Everyone was toasting Beck while he was drinking by himself.

This was his reality.

A day ago, some of the cores would surround him in a family gathering like this.

Now, no one was around him.

Time passed slowly. While everyone was drinking happily, two people walked into the reception hall. All of the cores stopped what they were doing and went back to their seats.

The one walking in front was an old man.

The person was one of the five grandmasters of the Callisto family. He was Cyrus Callisto, a mid–Infinity Ranker.

Meanwhile, there was a man hiding under a black robe behind Cyrus.

The man was covering himself completely. No one could see his face.

When they saw the old man, the elders of the Callisto family were all shocked.

According to usual practice, Cyrus, a mid–Infinity Ranker, would never come here. All five of the grandmasters were Infinity Rankers. Two were at mid–Infinity Rank, while the other three were at beginner Infinity Rank Normally, they would send a grandmaster at beginner Infinity Rank for this kind of occasion. However, this time, Cyrus, a mid–Infinity Ranker, was here. It seemed that the grandmasters valued this election a lot. Everyone looked at Beck

Even though this was just a small change, it could indirectly prove how much the grandmasters valued this head of the younger generation.

Beck was so excited that he was shaking.

If Grandmaster Cyrus came here, it showed how much the family valued him. He made up his mind secretly that he wanted to lead the family to go one step further. Even if they could not compare with the first–ranked Drake family, they had to be miles ahead of the families behind them. Cyrus walked to the main seat without saying a word. The black–robed man also followed behind him quietly. At this moment, the elders in the hall stood up. They put their hands together, bowed, and greeted respectfully, “Greetings, Grandmaster!” “Sit down, everyone,” Cyrus said calmly. “Thank you, Grandmaster.”

When everyone was seated, Cyrus asked, “Have you chosen the head of the younger generation?”

The head, Marco, came forward and answered, “Grandmaster, we have.” Then, he turned to say to Beck, “Come here, Beck.” Beck calmed his excited heart and walked to the middle of the hall. He bowed and said,“ Greetings, Grandmaster. I hope you‘re doing well.” Cyrus looked at Beck and said, “Good, you‘re not bad. I must praise you for standing out among so many Callisto children.”

“Thank you, Grandmaster!” Beck cried excitedly.

“Don‘t be in such a hurry to thank me. You still had to beat one more person to become the head of the younger generation.” “Who?” Beck lifted his head and asked.

“Me!” The black–robed man suddenly said. Beck felt that this voice sounded familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

It was not just him, the others in the hall also felt the same way.

Chapter 1165 “Are you Fergus?” Someone exclaimed. ‘Fergus? How is it possible?‘ Everyone in the hall looked at the black–robed man in disbelief. However, after being reminded, they found that the voice did sound similar to Fergus‘. ‘Could it really be Fergus? ‘But isn‘t Fergus completely crippled, unable to stand up ever again? ‘Why is he here?‘

Questions appeared in everyone‘s hearts. At this moment, the black–robed man spoke. However, this voice sent shivers down everyone‘s spine.

“Tch tch tch... I didn‘t expect you all to remember me. I feel so proud.”

After the black–robed man said that, he slowly pulled back his hood, revealing a familiar face.

Who would it be if not Fergus? Everyone was beyond shocked when they saw Fergus. ‘He was already crippled, but why is he here unharmed? ‘Did Grandmaster save him? However, even Emperor Nimbus would not have a way to save Fergus back then, let alone the grandmaster.

‘Unless there‘s someone from a much higher civilization outside the Milky Way or there are some very precious treasures of heaven and earth that can completely cure Fergus.‘ “Fergus, you‘ve been crippled. How can you still stand? This is impossible! There is no way!” When Beck saw Fergus‘ face, he questioned loudly. “How is it impossible? The world is far more complicated than you think. There are things that you ants can‘t understand. Stop struggling, you bottom–tier trash,” Fergus said coldly.

“Ants? Trash? Who do you think you‘re talking to? Fergus, so what if you can stand again? You were not my opponent before you were crippled, and you won‘t be now. Leave right now if you‘re smart. Go back to where you belong. If not, don‘t blame me for being merciless,” Beck pointed at Fergus‘ nose and yelled emotionally.

He thought he could soon be the head of the family‘s younger generation.

Hence, Fergus‘ appearance created a strong sense of crisis in his heart. It would be better if Fergus had come alone, but he came with Grandmaster Cyrus, so this indicated a huge problem. No matter how exceptional Beck was, he would never have become the head of the younger generation without the grandmasters‘ recognition.

At the end of the day, the five grandmasters supported the family. They were the family‘s pillars. Every decision had to go through them before they were executed.

If Fergus had come with the grandmaster, it meant he might have gotten the grandmaster‘s recognition beforehand. How could Beck accept this? He had worked hard for so many years, but his efforts were now going to someone else. “Oh? Beck, I wonder how you‘re going to be merciless,” Fergus mocked. Back then, Beck was his biggest competitor. Now, Beck was just like an ant to him.

This was the shift in mood that was brought on by the increase of power. “Fergus, since you can stand again, I should advise you to appreciate the days when you still have your health. Stop trying to court death. If others can cripple you, I can as well. Are you sure you will be so lucky to stand again when that happens? You better think clearly,” Beck stared at Fergus.

“You want to cripple me? If you can do so, do it. If you can do it, you‘ll still be the head of the younger generation.” “Are you for real?”

“Of course! The grandmaster is my witness. If you have the strength to cripple me, you won’t be punished and will become the younger generation‘s head. By then, you‘ll get all the resources for your cultivation.”

“Grandmaster?” Beck looked at Cyrus and asked. Cyrus did not say anything. He only nodded, hinting that Fergus was telling the truth.

Chapter 1166 Beck was overjoyed when he saw the grandmaster nodding.

Then, he felt that something was not right.

When he saw Fergus‘ mocking expression that indicated he was secure in the knowledge that he had backing, Beck knew this must be a trap.

Since it had come to this point, Beck could not turn back now.

No matter what, he had to fight Fergus. He had worked hard for so many years just for this moment It would be impossible for him to give up the head position.

Beck straightened his back, and his energy shifted.

“Fergus, are you sure you want to stand in my way and fight me to death?” “Beck, aren‘t you a little full of yourself? Do you think you are worthy of fighting me to death?” Fergus smirked in disdain.

“You... Since you look down on me so much, you should come down here. We‘ll go out there and fight a few rounds. The winner will be the head of the younger generation.”

“I only need one move to kill you. A few rounds?”

“Alright, I‘ll stand here and let you kill me in one move. Let everyone see how powerful you

are.”

After Beck said that, Fergus disappeared from his vision.

His heart skipped a beat.

He knew something was not right.

He felt intense pain in his head when he was about to act.

Then, Beck felt dizzy. His mouth, nose, eyes, and ears started bleeding.

He slowly turned his head and stared at Fergus with blood–red eyes.

“Y–Y–You‘re a savage!” Then, darkness engulfed him. At this moment, Fergus stood behind Beck, one of his hands on Beck‘s head.

After Beck fell to the ground, he finally retracted his hand.

A defeat.

A crushing defeat!

This whole time, Beck never resisted.

He died before he could even register what was going on.

Even the core elders of the Callisto family could not see what Fergus did.

He was too fast. At this moment, everyone understood.

Fergus had become an irresistible force.

Undoubtedly, he must have taken some very precious treasures of heaven and earth, so that was why he was healed and his combat power increased to such terrifying heights. However, the core elders of the family could not understand. ‘If the grandmaster has something so precious and good, why would he use it on Fergus? ‘Fergus was just a good–for–nothing. It‘s fine if he‘s crippled. ‘Is the grandmaster confused? Why did he use such a precious thing on Fergus?‘ That was what the core elders were wondering. Of course, they were just wondering this inside. They would not dare to say it out loud to question the grandmaster. As for Beck‘s death, no one aside from his direct family would care.

A dead genius was not a genius anymore.

The grandmaster was not even scolding Fergus.

He must have agreed to let Fergus do that. The rest of the people did not dare to make a sound.

Chapter 1167 “I‘m sorry, I didn‘t control my strength, and I went overboard,” Fergus said nonchalantly.

Even if he was apologizing, his tone and attitude were indifferent.

Beck was just an ant to him.

He would surely die after offending Fergus.

The Callisto family‘s hall was silent.

No one dared to say anything or speak up for Beck.

Fergus looked around.

The core elders did not dare to look into his eyes, especially the ones who used to support him.

Back when Fergus was crippled, they immediately went to others.

Now that Fergus had come back miraculously with good health and even become so powerful, their lives would be miserable if they did not think of a way to get Fergus‘ forgiveness.

After all, the grandmaster was supporting Fergus fully.

Fergus felt pleased as he watched the cores looking away from him. This felt great. The Callisto family was just the first step. Soon, the Milky Way would be crawling under his feet. He believed this day would arrive soon.

Planet Buck was a tiny living planet.

At the same time, it was Balu‘s planet. After it was discovered by the Grim family and a slave mark was planted more than three hundred years ago, this place had been an abyss of suffering.

Since Planet Buck was very far and tiny, and the people here had limited talent, the Grim family brought the head of the planet, who was also Balu‘s father, and his family away. The Grim family left some people on the planet and never paid attention to them.

Meanwhile, the people the Grim family left became the local tyrants of Planet Buck, ruling everything on the planet.

However, the Grim family also brought some advanced technology over, causing Planet Buck to be significantly different compared to how it was more than three hundred years ago.

Even the fastest Galaxy Warship would take more than a week to come here from the Royal Region.

On the other hand, it would take about four or five months for an Octagon to come here.

Time passed slowly.

David and the gang drove the Galaxy Warship to Planet Buck.

A month later, the Galaxy Warship approached Planet Buck. Balu started to get restless and anxious. He was worried that Planet Buck would become a wasteland. David could not comfort him regarding this. To be honest, if David faced the same thing as Balu and if Pavan planted his slave mark on Earth, he would be even more restless and anxious than Balu to return to Earth after hundreds of years. Two major things happened in the Royal Region this month. First, as time went on, the news of the Grim family being destroyed started fermenting in the Royal Region, attracting the attention of countless people. The Grim family was not ordinary. They were a big family with four Infinity Rankers and were ranked fourth among the eight prominent families. 1 They were not nobodies in the Royal Region.

In the end, they were wiped out so silently.

How could they not pay attention to this? Everyone was guessing who did this. Of course, there were a lot of versions of the story.

Chapter 1168 The Milky Way Empire did not say anything about this. Before the enthusiasm of the Grim family being wiped out died down, more major news followed

The Callisto family, the second–ranked family of the eight prominent families, announced their head, Marco, would abdicate.

Fergus would now take over the Callisto family.

Once this news got out, the Royal Region erupted.

A lot of them could not believe this.

After all, how old was Fergus?

Even if he was a genius, he could not take over such a powerful family at such a young age.

Many of the chosen ones the same age as him were still fighting hard for the position of the first heir.

Yet, Fergus had taken a step forward and became the head of the Callisto family.

This was such a huge difference in ability.

Moreover, news came through the grapevine not long ago stating Fergus was a cripple and could only spend the rest of his life in bed.

Now, not only had he recovered, he had even become the head of the Callisto family.

This was quite unbelievable.

However, this was now fact.

The Callisto family announced this themselves, so it had to be real.

This time, Fergus was miles ahead of his peers and those older than him.

After Fergus took over the family, he started desperately looking for David.

Now, he had the strength and time to seek revenge.

Fergus would not be where he was if David had not crippled him, but Fergus would never forget the pain David brought him.

Fergus would only be happy if David endured the same or even more debilitating pain than him.

In addition, that woman Mia dared to treat him like this.

Fergus already knew what he would do to Mia.

He would capture and then torture her. He had to make Mia die with boundless fear. Right now, Fergus was turning more and more unhuman like. Instead, he was like a beast. After fusing with the Nine–Headed Serpent’s genes, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, but at the same time, the side effect was also apparent.

After searching, Fergus got some clues as to where David was from some bounty hunters. He learned that David was last seen on Blue Star. However, he had left and was not there anymore.

From the clues, Fergus also knew about David‘s extraordinary relationship with Princess Astrid.

Princess Astrid even asked an important figure in the military, Ramos, to cripple his son Burke just to avenge David.

Now, it was not the time for Sangruil to declare war on the empire. Firstly, this was because the help from the Nine–Headed Serpents was not here yet. Secondly, Sangruil needed to win over more forces while Emperor Nimbus was recuperating before it could win in the final battle.

Fergus was not an idiot.

He knew Sangruil had given him everything he had now.

Of course, he would not ruin Sangruil‘s plan because of his private matters.

However, being unable to seek revenge for the time being and crush David into pieces made Fergus more and more brutal.

After he became the head, Fergus would constantly sneak into the prison to catch some of the prisoners. He could only temporarily soothe the anger in his heart by eating humans. This was also one of the side effects of fusing with Nine–Headed Serpent‘s genes.

Meanwhile, the five Callisto grandmasters had been corrupted by Sangruil and were now

Sangruil‘s lackeys. Initially, the grandmasters firmly refused. Wouldn‘t they be going against the empire if they worked with the Sangruil Sinners?

Once the empire found out, their entire family would be killed.

However, after the Sangruil Sinner Fergus brought to see the grandmasters showed his strength, the grandmasters had no choice but to agree. That Sangruil Sinner was a late Infinity Ranker. If they refused, they would have fight this battle. Even if the five grandmasters worked together, they might not be able to defeat a late Infinity Ranker.

Besides, after knowing that the king of Sangruil heavily injured Emperor Nimbus and the benefits Sangruil promised after overthrowing the Milky Way Empire, the Callisto family finally agreed to work with the Sangruil Sinners to overthrow the empire. Right now, the Callisto family was on the Sangruil Sinners‘ side.

Chapter 1169 Planet Drake in the Royal Region. This was the Drake family‘s planet, the first–ranked family among the eight prominent families in the Milky Way. The Drake family was not the same as the other families. They were not only the oldest, but they were also the ones with the strongest background. It was no exaggeration to say that even if the other seven families worked together, they would not be the Drake family‘s opponents. Such was the Drake family. Even if they were also among the eight prominent families, their strength was not on the same level as the other seven. Planet Drake was a massive living planet, and it was countless times bigger than the sun. The bigger the planet, the larger the gravitational pull. If an ordinary earthling were placed on Planet Drake, they would not even survive for a second. To live normally on Planet Drake, one had to be equivalent to a God Ranker on Earth. Which meant the ordinary folk on Planet Drake would all be legendary God Rankers if they were on Earth.

This was the difference between Earth and a massive living planet in the Milky Way. The current head of the Drake family, Gunnar Drake, was not only the chief of the Primo Institution of the Milky Way Battle Institution, but he was also the strongest chosen one in the Royal Region.

During the battle among the nine institutions, Gunnar even said he could defeat the other eight institutions.

He wanted to fight the other eight chiefs himself.

He was an influential figure among the younger generation of the Royal Region, making countless youngsters look up to him.

Outside Planet Drake, a few black–robed men suddenly appeared at this moment. “Our target this time is the Drake family. According to our information, they are stronger than our previous targets. This is also the first force with a late Infinity Ranker the Sangruil sinners will be trying to rope in. We have to be careful and not make any mistakes. The Drake family is an essential part of our plan, so we must take them down,” one of the black–robed men said.

“Yes, Master,” the others replied immediately. “Let’s go.”

Then, the men headed to Planet Drake. The black–robed men heeded forward and perfectly avoided all patrolling vessels on Planet Drake.

ssels could not detect them while ti

were at this level.

Once they were on Planet Drake, they came to the ancestral ground where the Drake family‘s grandmaster lived in seclusion following the information they got.

They approached the Drake family‘s ancestral ground. Then, they heard a voice before they entered

“Where did you all come from? What are you doing here? This is the Drake family‘s ancestral ground and sacred land. If you don‘t have any business here, please leave at once. If not, don‘t blame me for being merciless.”

“I want to see Ragnar!” The black–robed man in the lead said.

“Who are you? Do you think you can see Grandmaster Ragnar just because you want to? Get lost now if you know what‘s good for you. If you take another step forward, don‘t blame me for killing all of you.”

The black–robed man did not say anything.

Boom!

The black–robed man emitted his late Infinity Rank energy, causing the Drake family‘s ancestral ground to shake.

“W–Who are you?”

The black–robed man answered, “Sangruil!”

When the person from the Drake family heard that, his heart shook, and he blurted out,“ Sangruil Sinners?”

“We‘re Sangruilians, not Sangruil Sinners,” the black–robed man growled.

Clearly, the word ‘sinner‘ triggered him.

Back in the day, Sangruil was on the same level as the Milky Way Empire. They controlled half of the Milky Way, and were very well–off.

Now, they were hiding everywhere like stray dogs.

They had suffered so many grievances and endured so much pain for many years just to regain Sangruil‘s glory.

Chapter 1170 This was all so that they could stand on the top of the Milky Way and trample on the Milky Way Empire.

That day was not too far away now.

“You‘re Sangruil Sinners?”

“I‘m telling you again, we‘re orthodox Sangruilians,” the black–robed man emphasized again.

At this moment, he was seething.

If he were not on the Drake family‘s ancestral ground and to rope the Drake family into their plans, he would have killed this person.

“You are Sangruil Sinners. What do you mean by orthodox Sangruilians? The only orthodox one in the Milky Way is the empire. You‘re just stray dogs,” the man from the Drake family said after he calmed down.

“Are you begging to die?”

The black–robed man gritted his teeth and said word by word. His voice sounded like it came from hell.

‘How dare he insult Sangruil like that?

‘No matter who he is, he must die!‘

After that, the black–robed man waved his hand, and a cold black light shot out.

Even though it was just a casual attack, he was a late Infinity Ranker, so an average person would not be able to resist even a casual attack from him.

However, this attack that should have caused a lot of noise did not make any sound.

It was as if it disappeared without a trace into the void.

The black–robed man knew the master was here.

The only person who could block his attack without making any noises was someone on the same level as him.

There were a lot of grandmasters in the Drake family.

However, according to his information, only one was at late Infinity Ranker, and that was Ragnar.

Indeed, he heard another voice.

“Leave. Then I can pretend that nothing happened today.” “Ragnar, since we‘re already here, we didn‘t plan to leave so easily. Come out here and meet us,” the black–robed man said. “No need. You should leave. We are not interested in participating in the battle between you and the empire.”

“Ragnar, I know you want to put your safety before all else and only choose your side after the

coast is clear, but I‘m sorry, you must make a choice right now. You have to choose either the empire or Sangruil. If not, your family will be in hot water no matter who wins in the future. You have to think this through.” “Are you threatening us? What if I say no?” Ragnar asked in a deep voice.

“This is not a threat. I am just telling you the truth. I hope you will make the best choice,” the black–robed man said fearlessly.

“Aren’t you afraid I‘ll choose the empire and kill all of you?” Ragnar asked.

“Ragnar, our king has heavily injured Emperor Nimbus. Right now, he‘s recuperating on Planet Royal. The empire‘s fall is inevitable. I believe you will make the best decision. If not, your entire family will be consigned to eternal damnation because of you.”

After the black–robed man said that, he changed his subject and continued coldly, “Also, do you think you have the ability to kill all of us? since we have the guts to come here, it means we‘ve already made all the preparations.”

“We‘re not scared of your measly strength.”

“You can try!”

Then, the two stopped talking. The air around them started to grow heavy. The rest of the black–robed men and the Drakes, aside from Ragnar, were all very nervous.

They knew that if they started fighting, both sides would surely lose. This was not something the Drake family or Sangruil wanted to see.

The leader of the black–robed men did not want this either.

However, he had no choice. If he wanted to deal with the Drake family, he had to show him how strong Sangruil was.

That way, the other party would be wary and not start conflicts so casually. If he showed any sign of weakness, the Drake family would be haughty once they caught sight of it.

After a moment, Ragnar broke the silence and said, “Come in.”

The black–robed man in the lead did not say anything. He then brought the other black–robed man into the Drake family‘s ancestral ground.
