From a distance, Felix watched everything unfold, his body trembling. Ev though he had be released as expected, fear still gripped him. The ruthless tactics of the ckwood n were on full disy!


    Previously, Felix had only thought about annihting ckwood, but now... he realized that the people of ckwood were far stronger and more merciless than he had imagined.


    They were ev willing to abandon the family business that had be built up over nearly a ctury, now adopting a stance of having nothing to lose.


    He could ev feel that the ckwoods were lurking in the dark corners a him, ready to make him pay an irreversible price.


    Elder Felix couldn''t dy it—he regretted it. He realized that he had made the most foolish decision of his life by killing the Boar Monarch Pete  of ckwood.


    He took a deep breath and slowly walked forward, embracing Elizabeth. She was his partner, promised to him two hundred years ago by the Azure Cloud Pavilion and Sky Sect to foster fridly rtions.


    With Elizabeth, he had ris to his currt status. Only he knew how innoct Elizabeth was; ev three hundred years of cultivating psychic powers at the sect hadn''t matured her mind.


    "Elizabeth, it''s okay, I''ll always be by your side. We can continue to cultivate our psychic powers to Compett level, or ev higher. Over the years, we''ve practiced the dual cultivation techniques and searched for medicines and potions to increase our chances of having childr..."


    Before he could finish, Elizabeth broke free from his embrace, her face twisted into a mad smile as she pulled a piece of flesh from her mouth—it was from their son''s head, which had exploded just momts ago.


    "Felix, look, which part of our child is this? It''s all your fault. If you hadn''t st me after that pig, this wouldn''t have happed."


    "It''s okay, Elizabeth, we will have our revge, definitely!" Elder Felix quickly embraced her again, squinting into the distance, feeling a chill as he ssed Elizabeth''s appart mtal breakdown.


    But he knew all too well that ckwood had already set their sights on him. Only by facing this together with Elizabeth could he be safer.


    Under the moonlight, the couple shared a tder momt, marred only by the gruesome spectacle behind them...


    ...


    [Special Evt]


    [Your family has erected a notorious monumt at the Azure Cloud Pavilion, and this news has spread throughout Cloudview County. The people of Cloudview County are now called upon to hunt down the descdants of ckwood, making the ckwood members public emies, rowned far and wide.]


    [Congrattions, your family has acquired the trait—Ouw Dynasty]


    [Most forces in Cloudview County admire the courage of ckwood and are always ready to ''y'' by killing a member of ckwood. Your family members have be ouws in Cloudview County, with a poprity and favorability rating of -99%, escape speed increased by 0%, andbat power increased by 5% wh fighting desperately.]


    "What kind of congrattions is that?"


    Ethan scoffed at the notification on the scre.


    However, ckwood had already resolved to be ouws wh they left the monumt at the doorstep of the Azure Cloud Pavilion!


    For this, ckwood had ev conducted various experimts.


    That is, having Cards on them, ev a Psychic with fortune-telling abilities couldn''t locate the descdants of ckwood.


    The dispersed members of ckwood.


    They were as free as the vast sky, able to soar anywhere.


    Ethan ev found that this way of living as ouws allowed the individual members of the ckwood family to develop faster than farming at their family base, the only hassle being that he asionally had to use his skills to protect the descdants of ckwood.


    As for the ckwood base...


    Ethan switched views to check on it; it was still developing. The Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion had tak charge of the ckwood base but had handed over the authority to the people of Gratitude Vige. The Azure Cloud Pavilion ev wt to the ckwood base, and Dnis had only one word for them.


    That was ''Scram''.


    After all, they had the support of the mysterious Xuanwu Gate.


    The tire Cloudview County was searching for the people of ckwood.


    Time in the game passed bit by bit.


    In Ethan''s view, it was just a few short hours.


    [ckwood 89 Years]


    In these years of fleeing, the first two gerations of ckwoods basically had no trouble.


    After leaving the family residce and wandering a, they ev got... high?


    [Your descdant Nathan, with his wife Luna, wt to the South Sea. For decades in the family, in front of their descdants, they were shy and rarely affectionate. Now finally free from the annoyance of their descdants, they are affectionate all day long. Nathan took out the Forebearer Cards, asking Forebearer to look at their happy times.]


    [Trait: Shy Momts]


    [Away from descdants, affection +0%, dual cultivation speed +5%]


    "Are you torturing me through the scre?" Ethan gritted his teeth, fiercely sding ''Forebearer''s warmth'' to the old couple sitting by the coast looking at the sea.


    [Your descdant Lucas is wandering the world, finally able to fulfill his youthful dream of traveling the world with his sword. He began to hide his cultivation and challge sword cultivators everywhere, his swordsmanship growing day by day, and the number of swords in his scabbard increasing.]


    [His reputation is growing day by day, known in the martial world as ''Sword Stealing Demon'', wherever he goes, sword cultivators hide their treasured swords.]


    "That''s more dect."


    Ethan was very satisfied, this kid always thinking about cultivating psychic powers, much more dect than his shameless parts.


    [The Julian couple, led by Amelia, wt to the Thunderfire Demon Cave, where the natural thunder and fire are natural forging tools. Julian is preparing to break through to a sevth-grade artisan.]


    [He took out the War AI Bionic Robot, asking you if it could be further modified?]


    Ethan watched Julian continuously kneeling towards the Cards.


    Actually, he had already had Andrew prepare the Intermediate War AI Bionic Robot, and with the next grand ritual, getting a few million basic Energy Stones from ckwood to buy the Intermediate War AI Bionic Robot would be no problem at all.


    This basic War AI Bionic Robot, letting Julian y with it was no big deal.


    He clicked on the temple guardian beast''s avatar.


    At this time, the temple guardian beast was no longer the Purple Thunder Sr Python!


    With the hancemt of thunder and fire, it had previously tried to absorb Developing Skill, to no avail, but fortunately, Amelia gradually became capable and found a Boar Monarch Pete  blood pill for the Purple Thunder Sr Python!


    As he typed.


    A giant serpt appeared in front of Julian, bing the  Boar Monarch Pete''s temple guardian beast, now able to speak humannguage through its psychic powers!


    Its crimson gaze fixed on Julian, "The Commander has responded to me, go ahead and use it."
