Chapter 1138: What Has The Clan Done…
Evure God Clan.
"What…"
Isa was so shocked that she could only say one single word in disbelief.
"Yes. That's how it was." Katherine sighed and answered.
"We all suffered because of that damn bitch." Violet gnashed her teeth and exclaimed. "If only she hadn't tried to… forget it."
Isa facepalmed at this. "Seniors… seniors what has the clan done?"
"What?" Violet shot Isa an annoyed look.
Isa propped her elbows on the table and held her forehead, combing her bangs backwards.
"Seniors… seniors, seniors, seniors… what have you done…"
This time, even Katherine felt annoyed, her gentle demeanor dwindling. "What are you trying to say?"
Isa looked up and took a deep breath. "Senior… you said that two of the strongest from two major clans fell in love, then were hunted by both parties, and killed, right?"
"Yes? What of it?" Violet asked, her annoyance peaking.
"They were killed along with another Legendary Rank and a Legendary Rank Star Master, right?"
"…" Violet didn't understand where Isa was getting at.
"…yes?" Katherine answered in her stead.
Isa held her forehead after hearing that and looked visibly tired.
"Seniors… what has the clan done…"
"Isa." Violet was losing her patience. "Speak, and stop running in circles."
Isa massaged her temples and took out a large scroll from thin air. On the scroll, she saw a family chart of the Evure God Clan. Their strengths and weaknesses were written on it.
"Seniors, the people the clan has killed… have they ever thought about the consequences of it? Did they realize the bad providence they'll have to bear? Do we… do we have the capabilities to handle the immense amount of bad karma associated with it?"
Katherine and Violet knitted their brows. They frowned and began thinking over this.
The three greats were a late addition to the clan. These were people with the greatest merit and capabilities that shot their way up in the administrative ladder and took control of the entire clan to bring stability and prosperity.
The incident that they had been talking about was done by their predecessors. These people were currently either in seclusion or a high elder of the clan, living their life lavishly or like a retired soldier.
They possessed a lot of power and influence in the clan, almost comparable to the three greats, and if there was no concept of the three greats, they would be ruling the clan right now.
The three greats were the highest ranked individuals in the clan. Everyone listened to them and usually, as they were so influential and powerful, they kept to themselves and didn't give out orders. They just looked after the clansmen like deities and stayed silent on most matters.
If Isa hadn't said anything, Katherine and Violet wouldn't have thought about the past. They weren't involved in it and they naturally thought that their predecessors were competent and had tied all loose ends.
Now that they sat down and chatted over it, they realized… did their predecessors really think things through?
The providence and karma involved was nothing to scoff at. It could ruin them permanently if it wasn't handled properly.
"Have faith in the predecessors. They surely must've thought things through." Violet said after a while.
Isa placed her palm on her chest and said, "This feeling… this strange nagging feeling I've been getting… I do not know where it's coming from, and I sure do hope it's not related to this incident."
"…"
The two ladies went silent hearing that.
After a few seconds, Katherine asked in a low tone, "You've been having a nagging feeling?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell us before?"
"I was trying to assess where the feeling came from." Isa said and held her forehead.
Katherine and Violet looked at each other after hearing that. For some reason, even they began having a nagging feeling.
"Violet, what exactly happened after the star vanished?" Katherine asked.
Amongst the three, only Violet knew about this incident in great detail as her father was involved in it. He was killed by his own clan member and this was something Violet would never forget.
Violet clenched her fist as Katherine asked that and said, "A great battle between the traitor Lauren and our clansmen ensued. My father was martyred there, but at the end, we were successful in achieving what we wanted. We were able to capture the traitor and give her a fate worse than death."
"What was worse than death?" Katherine asked. Isa looked at Violet with complete attention.
Violet folded her arms. "What else? Getting the soul tortured for eternity. Not a single second's rest and be placed in constant agony and pain."
"…oh… no…" Isa did not have a good feeling about this.
She felt a great chill down her spine and looked at the two ladies near her, finding them to be looking at her with worry.
Violet realized what she had just said and facepalmed. "The consequences… are going to be immense…"
"Indeed…" Isa added and closed her eyes, contemplating the future.
Katherine took a deep breath and had a sip of tea to clear her mind. She put the teacup down and looked at the clear blue tea within it.
"We never got rid of them once and for all, did we?"
"We did not." Violet answered.
"The providence, the karma… we do not have it cleared, do we?"
"We do not." Violet answered once again, this time her tone was low.
Katherine closed her eyes and took a deep breath again. "In the story passed down to me, I've never heard of the traitors possessing a successor. Neither aunt Lauren nor her Asura husband left a legacy. They were found out too soon and chased to the ends of Shen Ze, eventually being captured and killed."
"That was what was said to me as well." Violet replied. "Since such is the case, why would we feel a threat from them?"
Isa drummed her fingers on the table and asked, "Is there no other conflict as grand as this that we were involved in? Anything that could potentially lead to us suffering?"
"I can't think of anything."
"Neither can I."
The three greats went into deep contemplation once again.
After having thought of a million things, Isa tapped on the table to get the other two's attention and said, "It really could be this and this itself. There must be some loose ends."
"I agree." Katherine added. "I always thought that everyone involved in that incident was dead. Now that I came to the understanding that such isn't the case… it changes everything."
Violet clicked her tongue in annoyance. "You're right. Let's leave everything we have on hand and pay a visit to the person responsible for everything."
Isa, Katherine, and Violet all stood up.
The three instantly vanished from their spots and appeared from thin air in front of an eerie, tall, dark metallic gate. The gates had lots and lots of ancient inscriptions with two giant dragons having their faces at the center, spewing fire. Their eyes were moving and stared at the people who had barged into this place.
Violet took a step forward and began casting magic spells in an empty space on the door. Bright blues, yellows, greens, reds, and purple light came into the picture and vanished, leaving behind a loud creaking sound.
The eyes of the dragons rolled back and the dragons themselves slithered away from the door.
The large metallic door opened up and as the three had a look at the inside, there was nothing but darkness.
Setting foot together, the three immediately reached a giant chamber whose floor was flooded with water.
In the middle of these waters and the dark chamber was a lamp. Within the lamp flickered a small golden light.
Violet knitted her brows and said softly, "There she is…"
…..
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
Lilith was busy in a conversation with Jacqueline with Emilia by her side. She was calm and composed, occasionally sipping on tea and asking questions.
"…and so the war happened where…"
Jacqueline's words turned distant immediately as Lilith felt a tremor deep within her soul.
She immediately shot her gaze in a certain direction and looked at it with serious eyes. Her purple eyes had a tinge of red flood within them and she thought to herself:
'I see. So it was like that…'
…..
Midnight Bay.
Lith was in the midst of preaching the natives when he suddenly felt a violent tremor deep within his soul. This made him clutch his chest and a certain calling made him look in a certain direction.
Wang Wei and Qingshan got worried while the natives around them looked at his strange reaction in confusion.
Lith's purple eyes stared at a particular star in the night sky and soon everything turned red in his vision as his pupils were flooded with red.
In his vision, he could see a distant place. His vision zoomed in instantly and he found himself staring at a chamber filled with water and a random lamp.
Inside the lamp, a small golden light flickered.
Lith soon felt something warm trickle down his face.
"Young master!"
"Young master!"
"Young master, what happened to you!?!"
These were the last set of words Lith heard before everything turned dark and he passed out.
