My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: I gave you a chance

Seeing Marcus and the Sky Sect approaching, Ethan's gaze shifted towards the Blackwood group.

At this moment, they had entered Mount Five Peaks!

In Mount Five Peaks, much like Blackwood's Gratitude Village, it had already become a town in its own right. The Rodriguez family had over three thousand descendants, and together with the Rodriguez family's vassals, the entire Mount Five Peaks housed over twenty thousand people.

Nathan and his wife headed straight into Mount Five Peaks, and as soon as they approached, they triggered the Rodriguez family's formation. It seemed they also had a method similar to the Blackwood people, who tattooed markings on their own to identify each other.

The couple quickly stated their purpose, openly seeking to negotiate with the Rodriguez family, and were soon taken inside Mount Five Peaks.

As for the others, they were outside the great formation of Mount Five Peaks that sensed enemies.

"The formation is of the eighth rank, a bit troublesome."

Julian grinned, seeing the entire Mount Five Peaks protected by the mysterious yellow energy, with various formation symbols emerging on the ground of Mount Five Peaks, forming a huge circular formation diagram.

Suddenly, a formation disk appeared in his hand, within which a spherical bead moved across various mysterious scripts, eventually settling on one spot, "But no big deal, we should make it in time."

[Your descendant Julian is using the top-grade psychic equipment 'Formation Annihilation Psychic Disk' to locate the formation core and break the eighth-rank formation 'Five Peaks Protective Clan Formation'!]

[Formation Annihilation Psychic Disk]

[Specialized in breaking formations, the Formation Annihilation Psychic Disk will issue a warning when encountering a formation!]

"It was Amelia who made the effort."

Ethan grinned; this thing wasn't originally owned by the family, but Amelia had been managing the Thunderfire Demon Cave for over a decade. Due to the various formations previously present in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, there were also many formation masters there, and this item was a reward Amelia received after saving an eighth-rank formation master.

Moreover, the people of Blackwood could also slightly feel the presence of formations outside the Rodriguez family.

Reaching the Emerging Ability stage, most Psychics actually have some knowledge of formations, alchemy, and talismans. However, mastering these items requires a vast reserve of knowledge, and to refine them further also requires talent and years of accumulation.

This also presents a problem, an Iron Will Psychic wanting to become a psychic equipment craftsman might not succeed in forging psychic equipment because there's no time to cultivate psychic powers, unable to break through, and might die.

For instance, a D-level Psychic might not necessarily become a seventh-rank psychic equipment craftsman, but a seventh-rank psychic equipment craftsman is definitely a D-level Psychic!

They are often beings of exceptional talent.

And Julian just happens to be such a gifted individual. While crafting psychic equipment, he also needs the support of formations, and he is also a ninth-rank formation master!

"Just waiting for you guys to break through the formation."

Ethan, seeing Julian breaking the formation, then shifted his gaze to Nathan and his wife.

After all, Ethan certainly didn't want the previous incidents of leading people to Blackwood to kill, to fall upon his own people.

...

[Rodriguez Family Estate]

The scene shifts to the grand estate of the Rodriguez family, a lineage that has lasted over seven hundred years. Under the guidance of the Rodriguez family members, Nathan and his wife were led into the grand hall of the estate to meet with Landon, the head of the Rodriguez family.

Observing the atmosphere in the hall, Nathan, and through him Ethan, gathered intelligence on the Rodriguez family. The head of the family, Landon, was at the Transcendent Seed stage.

There was also an elder at the Transcendent Seed stage, one person at the peak of the Emerging Ability stage, three Emerging Ability experts, and several younger members of the Rodriguez family.

After introductions and some small talk, Nathan, sitting next to the main seat, got straight to the point with a sigh, "Ah, Brother Landon, I have come to apologize."

"Apologize?" Landon was momentarily taken aback.

"Yes," Nathan replied with a bitter smile. "Years ago, my grandson Marcus had a feud with your family's Silas. Young people are hot-blooded, and their fights can get out of hand. But if we clear this up, it can be resolved. "

"Silas was at fault first, and my grandson was also wrong to kill. How about this: 500,000 Energy Stones, and we settle this matter. You promise on behalf of the Rodriguez family not to interfere with my grandson anymore. What do you say?"

"What do you mean?" Despite being over a hundred years old, Landon remained composed, continuing to sip his tea.

Moreover, the Rodriguez family was currently setting traps to kill Marcus. The arrival of the Blackwood family at the Rodriguez estate was suspicious!

Now he was even more puzzled; his intelligence had not indicated that the Blackwood family would come, and he did not believe this was a coincidence.

"At this moment, my family's Marcus is coming here with Elder Dylan from the Sky Sect," Nathan continued, not mincing his words. Knowing the ways of the world at his age, he understood that some things did not need to be hidden.

"Elder Dylan, at the mid-stage of Developing Skill, would not find it difficult to kill your family's ancestor who has just entered the Developing Skill stage."

Seeing Landon frowning, Nathan slowly picked up his teacup and drank leisurely, "I know even more. The assassination attempt on my Marcus was actually orchestrated by Elder Felix of the Sky Sect, who hired your Rodriguez family to find the assassin."

Landon's expression grew even darker.

Nathan continued, "It's really interesting, this Sky Sect. The leader, Wesley, knew about Marcus being assassinated but turned a deaf ear, unwilling to kill Elder Felix, who is at the peak of Developing Skill within the sect.

Such negligence has now led Elder Felix to suspect that my grandson is coming to eliminate your Rodriguez family, so he has set traps in advance at your place—a classic case of waiting for the rabbit."

These simple words caused Landon's face to lose color!

"In the eyes of the Sky Sect, we are all but ants. Why sacrifice the lives of your Rodriguez family for some past events and for an Elder Felix?"

At that moment, Landon was sweating profusely.

Nathan was speaking of past events.

But Landon understood the deeper meaning, which was to tell him that all the dealings of his Rodriguez family and Elder Felix had not escaped the eyes of Blackwood.

And that Blackwood's visit this time was not about so-called 'apologies,' but rather to offer his Rodriguez family a way out.

Even...

All the traps set by his Rodriguez family and Elder Felix were under the watchful eyes of Blackwood.

But...

How could this be possible?!

He stared intently at Nathan and his wife. This guy was merely at the mid-stage of Emerging Ability, with an ordinary aura. According to the intelligence Landon knew, the Blackwood from Forest Town in Tranquil County was just a small family that had risen over sixty years, with their strongest being a Purple Thunder Solar Python and an AI Bionic Robot comparable to the Transcendent Seed stage.

The most astonishing feat this family had achieved was merely eradicating the Dragon Tiger Gate and becoming a subordinate of the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion...

Suddenly, Landon seemed to understand, his expression easing, even letting out a long breath.

He stared at Nathan with amusement and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Nathan, you're ridiculous! The person behind you is from the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, that charlatan Dennis from Jubilee County? So that's how you knew all this?"

"Did you bring people from the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion here secretly? Thinking my Rodriguez family, which has only been a Developing Skill family for a mere hundred years, could be deceived?"

"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"

"Do you really think that with the backing of the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, you can oppress me, Landon, inside my own Rodriguez family? Do you really think you hold the winning cards?!"

Suddenly, all the powerhouses in the hall summoned their psychic equipment!

They looked at the couple as if they were fools.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from outside Mount Five Peaks, striking the Rodriguez family's grand formation.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the earth and mountains.

Seeing Landon's triumphant laughter, Nathan stood up along with Luna, who had been sitting silently beside him.

Frowning, he summoned the basic psychic device, the Thousand Jun Seal.

"Landon, I gave you a chance."
