Chapter 1006: Vanished Hope!

Or perhaps that person is really impressive. Since my Thousand Ghosts Devourer Insects were all destroyed within a single meeting!

This was a huge humiliation for Zhan Lun Hui that was impossible to wash away!

He sat in his room with a dark expression, silently sending out his spiritual sense to search all about, but he couldn’t find anything. When the trio, Zhan Tu, Zhan Yi Xiao, and Zhan Xiao Xiao returned and said they made no discoveries, Zhan Lun Hui finally let out a long sigh and did not say anything else.

Although he did not say, this sort of unusual silence made everyone feel uneasy.

The three great Saint Venerables didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, standing in front of him. Although he only had the strength of a fourth level Saint and these three people were easily stronger than him by more than ten folds, these three people did not dare be disrespectful at all!

Because this person in front of them was the real founding ancestor of the Zhan Family!

If not for him, there would be no one surnamed Zhan in this entire Misty Illusory Manor!

Besides, his current strength was the result of his intentional suppression. Building his foundations up, slowly and steadily, in preparation for surpassing the peak in legends. Otherwise, his current strength would have surpassed everyone present...

How could the reincarnation of a Holy Infant only have this sort of prowess?

While Zhan Lun Hui was mulling in frustration and the trio was feeling extremely uneasy, they felt a wave of trembling from far away! At the same time, a loud cry rang out...

Zhan Xiao Xiao was shocked. “That place is where Zhan Tian Ji is...”

He had barely finished this sentence when the other three had already dashed out. Zhan Xiao Xiao immediately caught up with them.

All four of them arrived in a cave filled with countless corpses and were left dumbstruck by the sight before them! Having the strength of a Saint Venerable level was completely useless at this moment!

The place was in a state of utter devastation. The cave no longer looked like how it was. Zhan Lun Hui’s greatest concern was the transition of fortune, so he was the first to raise his head and look upwards.

Zhan Lun Hui almost spat a mouthful of blood from what met his eyes: the stone wall above them was completely empty...

There was a huge hole in the top left corner of the stone chamber. The same on the right! On the platform, the cauldron was completely shattered. And Zhan Tian Ji’s battered and torn corpse was right before it!

Zhan Lun Hui’s body swayed as he took in the sight with a lifeless look in his eyes. He suddenly felt every hope turn into dust!

Generations and generations had proceeded with these arrangements for thousands of years. It was grand scheme that they had been preparing for several lifetimes! At the moment they were very close to success, it was completely destroyed by someone!

And in such a thorough manner! Leaving no room for salvation!

This underground world that was built over thousands of years ago... Today, the underground world was complete, but this place... the most core contents, where the most important thing lay, was all destroyed and ruined!

Then what meaning was there in all the hard work for the past thousands of years?

For thousands of years, how many outstanding descendants of the Zhan Family were born in this place, grew up in this place, and put their entire life in this place? They even grew old in this place. They had never seen sunlight even on their deathbeds!

Thousands of years of burying their conscience, constantly massacring innocent, defenseless commoners! Right when they were about to succeed, at the most crucial point, where they were the closest to the moment of success...

All these—everything—turned into bubbles!

“Ancestor...” Seeing the poor look on Zhan Lun Hui’s face, Zhan Yi Xiao called out worriedly.

Zhan Lun Hui’s face suddenly turned completely red, and his entire body shook violently. A mouthful of fresh blood spat from his mouth! There was no anger, no rage in his expression. It was frozen in an unusually calm state!

Zhan Lun Hui returned back to normal after spitting out that mouthful of blood. He slowly walked over to Zhan Tian Ji’s corpse and put his palms together. Then, he made an odd gesture and a ball of milky white light formed on his hands and landed on Zhan Tian Ji’s corpse...

But after a long long time, there was no reaction!

Zhan Tian Ji finally stopped his actions. He said in an eerily calm voice, “Such vicious and ruthless methods! Not only did he destroy the physical body, he even destroyed Tian Ji’s spirit seed! Even the Holy Infant did not manage to escape! He completely annihilated his soul! This time, Tian Ji is really beyond redemption...”

“What?!” The trio who were looking at Zhan Lun Hui’s actions hopefully instantly cried out in shock!

“The intruder is really ruthless! And... his strength is no longer something you guys can deal with.” Zhan Lun Hui stood up slowly, his black hair rising.

“Find me a secret chamber. The three of you shall aid me in mediation! I want to recover back to my strength when I was at my peak in the shortest time! What the Zhan Family needs right now is an invincible fighter! And not someone who is hoping to break past legends! Deploy all members of the Zhan Family! You absolutely must find out who the one who did this is! The moment you find out who it is, kill him at all costs! Make sure his entire family is annihilated! If needed, I will take actions personally!” A highly suppressed killing intent could be heard in Zhan Lun Hui’s tone as he spoke.

“Destroying the great scheme of my Zhan Family that has gone on for thousands of years! Death is not enough to compensate for this act!” Zhan Lun Hui said slowly, carefully enunciating every single word. As he spoke, a ray of green light shot out from his eyes as he stared into the empty space before him!

“Old Ancestor rest assured! This vengeance! The Zhan Family will definitely get revenge for this!” The killing intent in Zhan Yi Xiao and Zhan Tu’s eyes gleamed as they spoke. “Even if we stake every single person in the whole Zhan Family, we must get this revenge! We will remember this vengeance for eternity and generations! Deep into our soul! No matter who that person is! The moment we find out who he is, his entire family, old and young, and all his friends and relatives will die! Not a single one of them shall be left!”

Zhan Lun Hui did not respond. He looked at the devastation in this place solemnly. “Find someone to seal this entire place immediately! Especially this space! It must be completely sealed! There must be no traces left!”

Then, Zhan Lun Hui turned and left, with not even the slightest reluctance.

But from his footsteps that were increasing in speed, it could be seen that Zhan Lun Hui was not feeling as calm as he portrayed himself to be!

When he was at the door, Zhan Lun Hui paused for a while. Then he heaved a long sigh and exited slowly.

A small teardrop landed cleanly the ground he had passed, slowly seeping through...

There was a single sentence that he did not say out loud. The hope of ten thousand years ah... all ruined in a moment!

If I had known it was going to be like this, why did I insist to return back here?

Looking at the disappearing back views of Zhan Lun Hui, the rest only felt as if a mountain was weighing on their hearts.

There was a flurry of footsteps and Patriarch Zhan Wu Yun came rushing in as if he were possessed. Seeing the devastating state of the stone chamber, he suddenly jerked as his entire face turned pale... His mouth widened and closed but no words could come out. Then, he suddenly spat a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the ground!

Such a huge shock was too much for Zhan Wu Yun to bear! He fainted on the spot... In his unconscious state, tears streamed from his eyes... All the hopes, all the preparation, all the hard work... was gone!

How could he bear this, as the Patriarch of the Zhan Family! This was his biggest and greatest dream...

“Let’s get moving.” Zhan Yi Xiao’s smiley look had also gone, and a look of grief had replaced it. The other two nodded their heads solemnly and they picked up Zhan Wu Yun’s body and exited...

What they did not know was that the oath that they had made in a fit of anger... really came true in the future...

“Even if we stake every single person in the whole Zhan Family, we must get this revenge!” How shocking and mighty this oath sounded! But they would have never imagined that the first half of the sentence would come true...

And the second half of the sentence... was not accomplished...

“As you wished, I will make sure the entire Zhan Family is staked in this... But as to whether you will be able to get this revenge, you shouldn’t bear too much hope in it, since it is not very realistic...” Jun Mo Xie, who was concealed within the void, scoffed coldly as he watched all the major heads of the Zhan Family disappearing outside that stone door. With a slam, the entire stone chamber was shut from the outside and the entire space turned into complete darkness.

A moment later, numerous stones came raining into the space...

Outside, more than a hundred experts of the Zhan Family were moving large amounts of rocks and soil, pouring it all in...

Large amount of stones were falling consecutively. This unusually spacious place was vanishing quickly. It did not take long for this stone chamber full of evil truth to be completely filled up and sealed. No one else would be able to find evidence of it anymore...

When this stone chamber was about ninety percent filled, Young Master Jun had already made a move from this place.

Jun Mo Xie had not intended to take any evidence from this place! From the way he saw it, there was no need for any evidence for the annihilation of the Zhan Family! Just kill whatever and whoever I want! What evidence do I need?

Evidence was merely something that people who wanted to show to the public to prove that they were fair and just! To Jun Mo Xie, that was something completely meaningless!

I don’t care whether people believe me! As long as I can do it, that is all that matters!

Compared to the Zhan Family, who were looking for the culprit in a crazed state, Young Master Jun was calmly exploring the entire underground world of the Zhan Family! First, because his main objective of this trip had yet to be completed. Secondl
