After the other council mbers departed, Rahman imdiately headed towards the back mountains with Adam Shah. Unbeknownst to them, a shadow had silently attached itself to them sowhere along the way.
The Shah Family estate was vast, and the back mountains covered a large area. Over the years, few people had ventured into the back mountains.
Rahman and Adam Shah, using the pretext of paying respects at their ancestors' graves, made their way to the back mountains and located the cave where the Heart of Thunder was sealed.
Together, they followed the thod recorded in the ancient scrolls to break the seal, uncovering a specially crafted wooden box inside the cave.
Inside the box lay the Heart of Thunder. Upon opening the box, the overwhelming power of thunder emanated faintly from the Heart of Thunder. This caused both of their eyes to light up.
"It truly has recovered! Heaven is on our side! With this Heart of Thunder, Iskandar, Fazira, and the others are dood!" Adam Shah whispered excitedly to Rahman.
"Indeed," Rahman nodded in agreent.
Without delay, they closed the box, preparing to leave with the Heart of Thunder. But just as they turned to leave, a cold gleam flashed across Adam Shah's neck.
In the next mont, a thin line of blood appeared on Adam Shah's neck. Subsequently, Adam Shah's pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground.
Rahman's hair stood on end. He hadn't expected that Adam Shah, the second most powerful among the middle generation of the family, would be killed so swiftly.
"Who!" he shouted fearfully, his voice filled with terror.
As soon as he spoke, a figure erged. It was a woman with a beautiful face and a heroic presence, yet she exuded a coldness that kept others at a distance. It was none other than Fazira.
"Fazira, it's you!"
Rahman was shocked upon seeing Fazira, and despair quickly spread across his face. He realized that Fazira's presence ant that his and Adam Shah's plan had been exposed. Facing Fazira, a Level 8 Silver expert, Rahman knew he stood no chance.
"Fazira, are you truly so heartless? Have you forgotten that when your father died and you and your mother fell on hard tis, it was I who took you in?"
"Your beliefs are your own, and I won't interfere as your uncle. But I beg you, don't aid the tyrant, please. Otherwise, our Shah Family will be destroyed by that rebellious son, Iskandar!"
Rahman pleaded bitterly. However, his earnest appeal did not evoke any sympathy from Fazira.
"Slandering the divine envoy deserves death!" Fazira declared coldly, swinging her sword once more.
With that strike, she cleaved Rahman in two. Fazira did not hold back, even though Rahman was her second cousin's father.
She believed that her second cousin would not bla her for acting on behalf of the Earth Mother Goddess. Thus, the once formidable Rahman t his end at the hands of his niece.
"You killed my father and Adam Shah?" Iskandar asked, frowning after hearing Fazira's report.
"Yes, because I followed them and discovered they planned to use the Heart of Thunder to kill you, so I acted imdiately," Fazira explained.
The Heart of Thunder? What is that?
Iskandar was puzzled, having never heard of such an item. Imdiately, Fazira presented the Heart of Thunder to her second cousin. Upon opening the wooden box, Iskandar's eyes brightened.
He could see that the Heart of Thunder contained extrely terrifying thunder power, which, if released, indeed had the potential to kill him. Snap! The box was closed.
Iskandar turned around, clicking his tongue, "My dear old father was truly ruthless, quite a character. Unfortunately, he chose to oppose the Earth Mother Goddess, and that was his downfall..."
On the sa day that Rahman and Adam Shah were killed, all the other mbers of the Shah Family council were also eliminated.
Although Iskandar kept this news confidential, a few days later, many sharp eyed family mbers noticed that the leaders were missing.
Speculation ran rampant. Many had a gut feeling that they might never see Rahman and the others again. Unconsciously, people felt even more awe towards Iskandar.
Iskandar also issued an order: henceforth, the family council would be dissolved, and Fazira would be the sole council mber, with no other positions to be appointed.
This effectively established Fazira as the second most powerful figure in the Shah Family. For the first ti in the Shah Family's history, an outsider beca the chief steward.
Those family mbers who remained nostalgic for the glory of their ancestors felt deeply ashad by this developnt. However, they dared not voice their anger.
After assuming the role of chief steward, Fazira established a family enforcent team composed entirely of Earth Mother Goddess followers.
In just three days, they had captured and eliminated 67 family mbers who had spoken against Iskandar. The atmosphere within the Shah Family beca extrely oppressive.
During this period, Iskandar prayed once more to the Earth Mother Goddess, who, appreciating his efforts, granted him another vial of divine power sparks.
With these divine power sparks, Iskandar cultivated a new group of Earth Mother Goddess followers within both the direct and collateral branches of the Shah Family.
Unnoticed, the number of Silver level divine martial artists in the Shah Family reached 500. (Note: Divine martial artists are those whose powers have been enhanced by absorbing divine power sparks.)
Silver level martial artists are notable figures no matter where they are. At this point, with 500 divine martial artists, the Shah Family's overall strength rivaled its most powerful era in history.
So family mbers even felt a sense of disbelief: Could the family revival, which several generations of ancestors had pursued tirelessly for centuries, be achieved so easily?
The increase in strength brought with it an expansion of ambition. Looking at the full map of the Minghua Base, Iskandar used a red marker to draw an "X" at the location of the Tuoba family.
