As he stood before the coffin, the Divine Holy Emperor conducted himself respectfully.
After he bowed, he came closer to the coffin and pushed open the coffin lid.
Quintina stood up abruptly and shouted, “What’re you doing? My father is already dead! What areyou trying to do to him?!”
The Divine Holy Emperor turned to Quintina and apologized, “Sorry for my indescretion. I simplycould not bring myself to believe it. The Ancient Clan’s leader is the strongest person in the AncientRealm. I found it hard to believe he died so easily, so I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.”
After speaking, he turned to the person lying in the coffin.
Farley’s face was ashen and had no trace of color. There were no signs of life in his corpse-likebody.
After sensing no energy from Farley, the Divine Holy Emperor sighed in relief. He turned to theGideons gathered in the main hall and apologized again. “I’m sorry for my disrespectful behavior.”
The Divine Holy Emperor slid the lid back on the coffin.
Thoryn stepped forward and said, “We understand. Please go back and rest for the time being.We’ll hold a memorial service when other close friends of our family arrive.”novelbin
The Divine Holy Emperor departed immediately. He turned around and left with Harold.
Since it was the Gideons’ family matters, Yoan did not linger around for long either. He left withJames back to their momentary courtyard lodgings.
Inside the yard, Yoan sighed. “It’s a pity that generation's strongest man died so miserably.”
James said, “Perhaps it’s fate. No one can escape the machinations of fate after all.”
He promised Farley not to tell anyone, so he also kept their agreement a secret from Yoan.
Yoan said, “Since things have turned out this way, we have no choice but to wait for the Gideons tofinish dealing with Farley’s funeral.”
James nodded. “Mhm.”
The two continued to stay within the Ancient Clan’s territory.
Meanwhile, the passing of the Ancient Clan’s leader was announced to the world.
The news spread quickly throughout the Ancient Realm. Soon, many prominent figures of theAncient Realm showed up one after another.
Even Welkin Academy’s headmaster personally showed up to attend Farley’s memorial service.
Seven days passed since Farley’s death.
The Ancient Clan’s close friends from throughout the Ancient Realm had gathered for the pastseven days.
All the renowned powerhouses were present.
Farley’s memorial service would be held the next day.
At night, the Ancient Clan’s territory was brightly lit.
A masked man quietly waited in the forest outside the Ancient Clan’s perimeter.
Suddenly, a gust of wind whipped up the air.
A few people in black robes and black masks appeared.
“How’re things going, Holy Emperor?”
A voice croaked out the question.
“I’ve confirmed Farley’s death. All of the powerhouses of our realm are gathered in the AncientClan’s territory. It’s the perfect opportunity to destroy them at once.”
“My people are on standby. Tomorrow morning, we shall launch an attack on the Ancient Clan.”
After the brief conversation, the men in black left.
Then, the masked man took off his disguise. It was none other than Divinity Sect’s leader, the DivineHoly Emperor. He was also one of the most powerful people in the Ancient Realm.
A sly smile formed on the Divine Holy Emperor’s face.
He materialized powerful True Energy in his palm and destroyed the mask in his hand. Then, hestepped back into the Ancient Clan’s territory.
James did not sleep throughout the night.
He was not informed of the specifics of Farley’s plan.
However, Farley did mention that the Divinity Sect once conspired with the Fangs from the DemonRace.
“Will something happen tomorrow?”
James had a strong feeling that something would happen in the Ancient Clan the next day.
“What’re you doing, James?” Yoan’s voice called out to him.
James came back to his senses and replied, “N-Nothing.”
“You look worried. I can tell there’s something on your mind.”
