Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On

Chapter 183 Great Archmage

He knew that what he was looking for should be the greatest secret of the Nicholas family. The hunched old man was just about to walk forward when he discovered that his body was no longer under the control of his brain. He was actually unable to move. His pupils began to dilate, and a terrifying expression appeared on his face, as if something terrifying was about to happen next.

What was even more terrifying was that the old man did not have any premonition, nor did he have any sense of being attacked. He just suddenly could not move.

With the old man’s many years of premonition, he knew that this was definitely not a good sign. He subconsciously erupted with all the energy in his body and used the strongest escape magical power.

However, to everyone’s surprise, with a bang, the old man’s body instantly exploded. This spell was called the Blood Shadow Escape Technique. It was a high-grade earth-tier escape spell. After the hunched old man’s body had turned into a blood mist, he was about to disappear into the air as if nothing had happened.

But suddenly, a loud bang sounded in the air, and the space also shook. The blood mist had actually returned and started to roll violently. It looked like it was in great pain. It tried its best to take human form, but it was to no avail.

Suddenly, an invisible energy appeared and erupted in the center of the blood mist. Half of the blood mist, which was making a human form, was suddenly scattered. A large hand suddenly appeared in the middle, grabbed a ball of blood mist, and pulled it back.

That ball of blood mist that had been pulled back quickly condensed, turning into a circular golden object about the size of an egg, a core.

And a translucent figure had appeared above the core. It was the hunched old man earlier, and now, what was seen was already his magic soul.

The remaining blood mist seemed to have lost its value and quickly disappeared into the air.

“No!”

The translucent old man let out a heart-wrenching cry, but it did not prevent all of this from happening because what had dissipated was his physical body. This meant that he was completely dead.

The Blood Shadow Escape Technique he had used just now had suddenly been interrupted, causing his core and soul to be constrained. He was unable to exercise the last part of his magical power, which was the part that would consolidate his physical body again. Therefore, after the blood mist had disappeared, he would no longer have the chance to remodel his physical body, which meant that he was already dead.

With his physical body gone, even if his core and soul were still around, there was no way he could survive. Even if he could find a way to stabilize his soul, he would just barely be a ghost.

The hunched old man had not even dreamed that his Blood Shadow Escape Technique would fail. He was very confident in his ability to use this magical power. This was also his last life-saving magical power.

It was because of this magical power that he was able to enter the Nicholas family palace without fear to search for secrets. Even if something extraordinary happened, he could still use this magical power to escape quickly. Unexpectedly, reality had given him a tight slap. Not only had this magical power not helped him, it had also compromised him.

“Longevity Realm. Who are you? Who are you?” The hunched old man had already lost all hope. He kept sweeping his gaze across the ancestral hall, hoping to find some clues, but he could clearly sense that the power that had controlled him earlier had definitely come from the strength of the Longevity Realm.

However, this was where it did not make sense. It was impossible for the Nicholas family to have a Mage of the Longevity Realm.

If there really was such a person, he should have exterminated the four large family clans a long time ago. How could he allow them to come to their door to seek revenge?

Previously, the Mu Guang Pavilion had also guessed that the mysterious assassin who had killed eight Magi of the Divine Power Realm from the four large family clans was related to the Nicholas family. He might not have been able to show himself for some special reason, so he had not killed them directly.

Everyone’s prediction of this person’s level was only the peak of the Divine Power Realm. After all, if he was at the Longevity Realm, there was no reason to be so secretive.

The Longevity Realm was a level that every person who cultivated magical power had to look up to. The four large family clans alone were of no match at all.

Only now did the old man understand that the Nicholas family must have a Mage of the Longevity Realm. Unfortunately, it was already too late. This had far surpassed the old man’s guess and had caused great harm to his heart.

“Ahhh! Why! Who are you? Come out quickly.” The old man had already collapsed completely and was shouting loudly. In the next moment, his entire body suddenly started to tremble. His eyes widened, and they were full of despair. “Let go of me. No, no.”

After he had finished speaking, his gaze started to look at the location of his heart. As his body was already completely translucent, he could clearly see countless runes appearing above the core of his heart. His core was also trembling non-stop. Cracks had actually appeared on it, and it was about to explode.

This was a magical seal that only the Mu Guang Pavilion had, the Sacrificial Curse.

However, this magical power was not used against the enemy but against the people of the Pavilion. Moreover, only a Chief was qualified to use this magical power.

If a Chief was caught by the enemy and had no ability to resist, the Sacrificial Curse would activate, causing the soul of the person being controlled to explode.

Similarly, if he revealed the secret of the Mu Guang Pavilion, he would also explode. This was also the reason why almost no one knew the secret of the Mu Guang Pavilion.

And the Sacrificial Curse on this hunched old man was about to be activated.

… Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Mu Guang Pavilion…

In that gloomy hall, there was only one beam of light.

Directly below the light, a man in a white shirt was leaning against a chair. He was holding a small jade ball in his right hand and playing with it, his left hand resting on the armrest.

This man was one of the two Pavilion Masters of the Mu Guang Pavilion. He was known by everyone as the White Angel.

He seemed to have sensed something, and his expression was very serious.

“This Chief is actually dead too.”

“What? He can even die from using the Blood Shadow Escape?” Another voice sounded from the darkness.

“That’s right, just now, the Sacrificial Curse had been activated.”

Perhaps that person in the dark had been too excited, his figure actually started to float. That person was the other Pavilion Master, the Black Angel.

The two of them were called the Black and White Angels. Usually, what they were best at was hooking the souls of people and taking their lives.

In a short period of time, the White Angel had already sensed that the two Chiefs had died one after another. This had completely exceeded their expectations. It seemed that things were no longer under control.
