279: Chapter 279 Old man, why did you choose him and not me back then?

The corpses of Master Mo Fengzi and his disciple lay alone on the cold earth, as if abandoned by the entire world. Only the icy wind kept tugging at the hems of their garments, making them snap like battle flags—a sight incomparably miserable and desolate!

Suddenly! Four streams of black light tore through the air with a "humming" sound, flying over from the direction of Yu Feng Cliff. Leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm, they slammed heavily in front of the Demon Wind Sect's protective formation, gouging out four deep pits dozens of feet wide!

Boom! Spiderweb-like cracks spread from the bottom of the pits, and a visible wave of Qi ten feet high, carrying a sky full of dust, rippled outward like water.

As the dust gradually dissipated, four black figures were revealed!

Four elders with white hair and beards stood with their hands behind their backs, their black robes snapping like battle flags. On the back of each black robe, the character "Wind" was written in large, blood-red strokes!

That's right!

These four elders were none other than the four great Elders of the Wind Family!

The leading Old Man in Black Robe, who had a centipede-like scar crawling across his right cheek, walked slowly toward the corpse of Master Mo Fengzi with an air of killing intent.

"To think, Wind Meditation Child, you actually died such a miserable death!

Heh heh... Old man, do you see this?

This is the head of the Wind Family you chose!"

"Grand Elder, this is the family head; please mind your words..."

Slap!

A crisp sound of a slap rang out suddenly!

The leading Old Man in Black Robe suddenly exerted force with his feet, leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm. His palm tore through the air and slammed heavily onto the face of the Old Man in Black Robe who had spoken!

The Old Man in Black Robe felt as if a red-hot iron had been pressed against his face, branding it with a blood-red five-fingered mark!

A sharp pain shot from his face, straight down his spine to the top of his skull!

The Old Man in Black Robe was instantly sent flying. After rolling on the ground several times, his throat turned sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Wind Meditation Child is no longer the family head now; he is just a dead man!"

The leading Old Man in Black Robe clenched his stinging hand, turned around, and looked at the body split in two on the ground with a playful expression. The corners of his mouth curled into a sinister arc, revealing a set of bone-white teeth.

"Old man, why did you choose him back then and not me?

I am your biological son!

The eldest is a piece of trash; you could have passed the Wind Family position to me!

Why is he the eldest, and why does he get everything good?

Even the position of the Wind Family 'head' had to be passed to his son?

A piece of trash who didn't even dare to inherit the Wind Family's 'Six Ethics Blood Devouring Array', how could he qualify to be the 'head' of the Wind Family?

Old man, don't you think your decision is ridiculous?

Heh heh..."

The leading Old Man in Black Robe's eyes bulged, bloodshot veins crawling over his eyeballs like earthworms. He covered his forehead with his hand, his face twisted and deformed, and he laughed maniacally and wantonly, a sound that made people's scalps numb and their hair stand on end!

The other three Old Men in Black Robe bowed slightly, their bodies trembling, cold sweat sliding down their cheeks onto the ground, creating little splashes with a "pat! pat!" sound!

"Old man, watch closely!

When the Wind Family reaches a critical moment, it still has to rely on me, First Elder!

You three, form the array with me and summon the 'Six Ethics Blood Devouring Array'!"

"Grand Elder, the family head issued an order that no one is allowed to..."

Slap!

Crack!

A crisp sound of a slap mixed with the sound of breaking bones rang out suddenly. The teeth of the Old Man in Black Robe who had spoken were instantly shattered! The other side of his face felt as if a red-hot iron had been pressed against it, branding it with a blood-red five-fingered mark!

The Old Man in Black Robe was instantly sent flying. After rolling on the ground several times, his throat turned sweet, and he spat out several more mouthfuls of blood!

"I will say this one last time: Wind Meditation Child is no longer the head of the Wind Family; he is just a dead man!

Now that First Elder is in charge of the Wind Family, everyone must listen to me!"

The leading Old Man in Black Robe was none other than the Wind Family's Grand Elder, First Elder!

The icy wind, carrying sand and dust, raged before the Demon Wind Sect's protective formation, dyeing the world a sandy yellow!

The four Old Men in Black Robe hovered quietly in the Void Realm, their garments fluttering, their black battle robes snapping like battle flags!

Suddenly, the four Old Men in Black Robe bit their fingers and quickly formed eerie, palm-sized blood-colored incantations with their hands!

The blood-colored incantations were like living creatures, leaping and flying off into the Void Realm!

After a few breaths, thousands of blood-colored incantations actually formed an eerie, hundred-foot-large 'Blood Devouring Seal' in the Void Realm!

Suddenly!

The hundred-foot-large 'Blood Devouring Seal' shone with a brilliant blood-red light, shooting out a blinding beam of crimson light that struck directly onto the body of Master Mo Fengzi, which had been split in two!

Suddenly!

An eerie scene occurred!

Countless blood-red tentacles, like those of an octopus, grew from the wounds on Master Mo Fengzi's body, which had been split in two!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The blood-red tentacles dripped with blood, emitting a pungent, fishy stench. They intertwined and underwent Fusion, making eerie sounds of flesh rubbing against flesh!

Master Mo Fengzi's body, which had been split in two, actually began to undergo an eerie Fusion and knit back together!

On the back of Master Mo Fengzi's black robe, the eerie hexagonal array diagram drawn in blood began to rotate slowly and eerily, flying out from the black robe and into the Void Realm!

Hum!

The eerie hexagonal array diagram instantly transformed into six hundred-foot-tall ancient stone pillars. The six ancient stone pillars were connected by iron chains as thick as buckets, which rattled with metallic clanging sounds as they were blown by the wind!

On the tips of five of the ancient stone pillars, a corpse was impaled on each!

The abdomens of the corpses were pierced by the tips of the ancient stone pillars, leaving them alive and skewered onto the stone pillars!

Blood, like earthworms, crawled out from the wounds of the corpses and slowly oozed down along the ancient stone pillars!

A rust-like, bloody stench rose into the sky, permeating from the corpses!

Suddenly!

Clang!

Accompanied by a dull, vibrating sound from the ancient stone pillars, the six hundred-foot-tall pillars turned into six streams of black light, leaving several black afterimages in the Void Realm. Like heavenly swords, they slammed heavily and diagonally into the cold earth!

Boom!

The six hundred-foot-tall ancient stone pillars gouged out six hundred-foot-deep pits in the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread from the bottom of the pits, kicking up a sky full of dust!

Master Mo Fengzi lay quietly in the center of the six giant stones, without sorrow or joy!

The scene instantly fell into a dead silence where a pin drop could be heard, with only the wind carrying sand and dust, constantly tugging at the bucket-thick iron chains, producing metallic clanging sounds!

The Wind Family's Grand Elder, First Elder, suddenly exerted force with his feet, leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm as he hoisted the charred corpse of Mo Yuan, which was still emitting wisps of white smoke, onto his shoulder!

First Elder's eyes bulged, bloodshot veins crawling over his eyeballs like earthworms. With a face full of madness and the corners of his mouth curled into a playful arc, he tilted his head and looked at Master Mo Fengzi lying on the ground.

"Wind Meditation Child, to be the family head, one must inherit the 'Six Ethics Blood Devouring Array'. This is your fate, and you must accept it!

Uncle knows you are timid and dare not inherit the 'Six Ethics Blood Devouring Array', but it doesn't matter; Uncle will help you!

Heh heh..."
