Chapter 991 - On Purpose

Grandmaster Zhou was urgently summoned to a meeting to give an explanation to the high-level figures of the Leng Family. He stood at the center of the meeting hall and swept his eyes across everyone’s serious expressions. He slowly said, “Stranded God Canyon’s consciousness has already awakened. It no longer simply refers to the predefined rules, but now has its own judgment and ability to choose…the current situation is that due to some unknown reason, it is not willing to tear apart the contract.”

“If it doesn’t want to, then should our Leng Family just let this blood-sucking ghost drain us dry?” A Leng Family senior shouted out loud. “Zhou Cheng, you should understand what sort of price we’ve had to pay in order to maintain the revolution of the array formation. Do you want us to just watch helplessly as this continues?”

Grandmaster Zhou took a deep breath and slowly said, “Patriarch, elders, and everyone else, my suggestion is that you don’t try to forcefully tear the contract apart, otherwise Stranded God Canyon’s consciousness will never forget about this. It will likely provoke great trouble.”

“Very well! This is just a land of inheritance. It might be extremely mystical but it has no influence on the real world. I don’t believe it can exert any influence on my Leng Family! The contract must be torn up. The Leng Family cannot endure such terrifying losses again!”

As this Leng Family senior finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that everyone was looking at him with eyes full of shock and horror, as if something terrifying was happening to him.

His heart shivered and fear flooded his mind. He opened his mouth, but no sounds came out. Then, he froze in place. Red lines began to appear all over his skin. They tightened like fishing lines and ruthlessly contracted inwards, sinking into his flesh and blood like sharp knives.

Pa –

There was a light sound, as if a bubble burst apart. The man’s body was cut into countless blocks. As the pieces fell they started to melt into thick red goo that piled up on the ground. A horrid stench filled the air.

The meeting hall fell deathly silent. Everyone’s eyes flew wide open. They stared at the red goo on the ground, a cold chill racing up their spines and into their foreheads.

It had to be known that this was the Leng Family’s official meeting hall and represented the highest authority of the family. The future of the Leng Family was decided in this place, so it was natural for its defenses to be equally exceptional. No one could even hope to approach without permission, much less intrude inside.

But now, Leng Jie had died. His body had been torn apart and melted into red slime in front of everyone. Even his soul had been annihilated. And in the senses of everyone present, no one knew who did it or where the strength came from.

However, the truth was that the Leng Family elders who were all shivering with fear and shock were all well aware of where this strength came from.

“Stranded God Canyon…this is the will of Stranded God Canyon…the current situation can no longer be judged according to what has happened in the past!” Grandmaster Zhou took a deep breath and spoke out loud, “Everyone, you all saw what just happened. If you plan on forcefully tearing up the contract with Stranded God Canyon, the Leng Family will suffer great misfortune!”

The Leng Family had just lost an elder, and it wasn’t that they weren’t furious; some of them even had thoughts of revenge. But they soon discovered that in the face of the mysterious and powerful will of Stranded God Canyon, they had no effective way of dealing with it. If they recklessly offended it, the consequences weren’t something they could endure.

For the survival of the family, even if they had to endure shame, they had to lower their heads and accept whatever fate awaited them as they searched for other opportunities in the future…to put it simply and crudely, the Leng Family admitted their loss.

Although this sounded somewhat disgraceful, it was essentially based upon the family’s wisdom to survive. Facing unknown dangers, they wouldn’t be reckless or impulsive, even if they had to debase themselves or pay a steep price. As long as they continued surviving, there would always be another opportunity.

Zhou Cheng returned to the underground palace with the highest level authority of the Leng Family. The storehouse of resources that was originally prepared for establishing their fifth world was now opened up to fully satisfy the needs of Stranded God Canyon.

The Leng Family had to pay an enormous price for their actions. But the greater the price, the less easily they would give up.

Facing Stranded God Valley, they had no choice but to lower their heads after careful consideration. But if the target were different, they might expose their sharp fangs instead.

In other words, without Qin Yu
