My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Thunderfire Raging Python

Ethan was momentarily stunned. The Blackwood family's popularity had shot up from -99%, making them public enemy number one, to 50%. This meant that even though they had captured Competent, they still had plenty of enemies in Cloudview County.

"They might fear Blackwood's might, but that doesn't stop them from playing both sides," he mused.

"That means Blackwood is still in deep water, and we're out of missiles. Even if we had any left, Competent wouldn't fall for the same trick again," Ethan frowned.

Soon, another pop-up appeared.

[Special Event—The Sacrifice of the Boar Monarch Pete, Completed!]

[Group Trait 'Year of the Crimson Snow' has evolved into—'Year of Bloodstained Snow'!]

[Your descendants will forever remember the 'Year of the Crimson Snow', boosting their psychic power cultivation speed by 5%. As long as they are on the lands of Cloudview County, they will honor the family's valor today, and the Spiritual Tribute value during worship increases by 20%.]

[You've earned +20000 Spiritual Tribute!]

A smile crept across Ethan's face.

He had figured it out; each Iron Will descendant of the family contributed about 300 points of Spiritual Tribute annually. During the Emerging Ability phase, it was about 1000 points, and at D-level, around 3000 points.

Using all the accumulated Spiritual Tribute for cultivating psychic powers, plus the rewards from entering the game world, meant that only the awarded Spiritual Tribute remained.

An increase in Spiritual Tribute was a significant boon for him.

Meanwhile, Ethan glanced at the Blackwood descendants surrounding the Sky Sect.

After their continuous revenge, they had lost the initial anger and resentment.

After a bout of loud crying, they had come to terms with their emotions.

The emergence of the 'Year of Bloodstained Snow' trait also meant they had moved on from the grief of the Boar Monarch Pete's death. Hatred can drive a person's growth, but continuous, unending hatred only leads to madness.

The past is gone with the wind, and with their enemy dead, Blackwood would proceed with respect for the old pig on their future path.

Just as Ethan felt reassured by this,

A sudden pop-up appeared.

[Your descendant Nathan and the Daoist of the Warren are getting along famously, and the feud between Blackwood and Sky Sect has dissolved. At Luna's friendly suggestion, the Daoist of the Warren happily decides that once Marcus emerges from seclusion, he can inherit the position of Sect Master!]

[Your descendant Marcus, after many years in hiding within the Sky Sect, aspires to climb to the highest ranks. Unbeknownst to him, with the family's help, he has acquired a new identity—Sect Master of the Sky Sect!]

"Ah?" Ethan blinked, clicking on Nathan's icon.

Indeed, inside the Sky Sect, Nathan and his wife were laughing and chatting with the Daoist of the Warren, who easily agreed to hand over the position of Sect Master to Marcus, still in seclusion.

Ethan had no idea what Marcus would feel when he came out of seclusion.

Soon, the Daoist of the Warren escorted Nathan and his wife out of the sect.

As they passed outside the grand hall, the trio stopped in their tracks.

Two bloody figures caught their eye.

It was Elizabeth and Felix, pursued by Blackwood.

But now...

Elizabeth had completely lost her mind, tearing into Felix's flesh bite by bite, laughing foolishly as she did, "Eating you, eating you will bring back my child!"

"Coward! I can't believe I was such a fool for you!"

"Ha ha ha, Felix, we're going to have another child."

Luna was about to pull Nathan away, intending to let the crazed Elizabeth continue her painful existence.

However, Nathan shook his head, decisively beheaded her and Felix, and placed their heads back into the Storage Ring, sighing deeply.

"Let it be, she was just being used. Let her enter the cycle of reincarnation early."

The Warren Daoist looked at Nathan appreciatively. From the intelligence he had gathered, all he knew were the brutal deeds of the Blackwood people.

Yet, after talking with Nathan, he could see that this head of the Blackwood family was fundamentally a man of deep loyalty and good intentions.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Head of the Blackwood family, what about Wesley..."

"He's dead," Nathan replied, slightly squinting his eyes as he told a lie. Only he knew that Wesley Daoist's soul, thrown into the formation by him, would never enter the cycle of reincarnation. For the past seven years, the souls of the deceased in Cloudview County had been tormenting Wesley Daoist's soul incessantly!

"That's good, that's good," sighed the Warren Daoist.

After Nathan and his wife left the Sky Sect, the Blackwood folks no longer lingered. They gathered together, bowing before Ethan's Cards.

Watching the screen as successive words of praise from his descendants appeared, Ethan stood tall and proud. His descendants were also filled with pride.

They vividly remembered how perilous the past seven years had been in Cloudview County, with the entire county hunting them down, always on alert.

Now, thirty percent of the top fighters outside the Sky Sect had been killed, two Competents had fled with serious injuries, and one Competent had been captured.

From now on, anyone in Cloudview County thinking of targeting the Blackwoods would have to consider whether they had the strength to do so!

Those forces that had once pursued the Blackwoods would now live in the shadow of the Blackwoods, constantly vigilant about when the Blackwoods might strike.

Even Ethan could guess that by now, quite a few forces were probably fleeing Cloudview County, taking their families and leaving their homes, or seeking protection from more powerful forces.

"Forebearer, I believe it's not yet time to return to our family base," Olivia's words appeared above the heads of the clan members, standing out amidst the words of praise.

The Blackwood people suddenly fell silent, all eyes turning to Olivia, whose behind-the-scenes help had kept the family safe over these seven years.

Ethan clicked on the top-left corner icon of the temple guardian beast.

[Thunderfire Raging Python]

[Please enter your message.]

In the Thunderfire Demon Cave, the Purple Thunder Solar Python had already completed its transformation.

In this operation, it was also because of the presence of the demon king, the Thunderfire Raging Python, that Blackwood easily broke through a Developing Skill force's protective great formation.

As Ethan typed, the deep voice of the Thunderfire Raging Python sounded, "Commander, let's hear your thoughts."

"Yes, Forebearer!" Olivia nodded slightly, "Forebearer, you've severely injured Abbot David and Donald, and they will not let this go! There are known to be twelve Competent masters in Cloudview County. If we return to our base, they will have an opportunity to strike."

Hearing this, Ethan nodded slightly, and the Blackwood clan members all frowned, clearly aware that this great battle had not truly allowed Blackwood to rest easy.

He typed, letting Olivia continue speaking.
