After Jin Long Elder’s intervention, everyone present fell silent, not daring to provoke a Transcendent level powerhouse at this mont. Even Lan Yue and the Rothschild family elder, who had been eager to move, cald their inner turmoil and obediently waited for the closure of the Plague Gate.
As ti slowly moved toward the end under the tense gaze of everyone, the entrance of the relic usually maintained for two years, but its exact duration fluctuated slightly, so Lan Yue and others were particularly nervous, fearing that the entrance to the relic might close any second.
In this silent waiting, suddenly a light flashed at the relic entrance, and a figure appeared.
Everyone was shocked, and when they saw the figure’s identity, the faces of the Rothschild family mbers imdiately lit up with joy.
It was their Clan Leader! Alman!
Their smiles hadn’t fully blossod before freezing back on their faces.
Because their Clan Leader’s current state was too miserable; his body was only half intact, and he looked utterly drained of essence blood, appearing withered.
"What happened? Why is it like this!? Why did only the Clan Leader co out? Where are the others!?"
On the Rothschild family’s side, an elder showed an expression of shock and bewildernt.
It was vastly different from what they had imagined. Alman was not only gravely injured, but he was the only one who returned. After waiting for so long, the rest were nowhere to be seen, causing a stir.
"He’s coming! He’s coming! Let through! Let through!"
His face was contorted and frenzied, and together with his miserable appearance, even the closest disciples felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing him.
However, the ancient prohibition connected with the Purple Charm Gate at the entrance of the relic prevented him from leaving its range.
No matter how Alman tried to charge, he was trapped inside, and others were curious about who he was referring to, soone capable of forcing a Peak Control Level powerhouse into such a state.
On the Rothschild family’s side, an elder pushed a shackled individual into the Purple Charm Gate. Upon seeing this, Alman hurried forward and bit into the person’s neck, sucking their essence blood dry.
mbers of other families frowned secretly, understanding this shackled person to be a Rothschild family Blood Slave, used specifically to help these people heal from injuries.
With the supplentation from an external source, Alman’s injuries finally began to recover. His half-damaged body returned to normal, and his withered flesh beca plump again, finally appearing more human, at least not as ferocious on the outside.
To leave now, he still needed to pass the Purple Charm Gate’s check to ensure he wasn’t carrying the Plague virus.
At this mont, the light at the entrance of the relic flashed again, and another figure appeared.
Seeing this newly appeared figure, Alman jumped three ters high with another urge to rush out.
The newcor was, of course, Zhang Xiaoman.
"Ji Xing!?"
Within the Lan family lineup, Lan Yue’s face lit up upon seeing him, though her expression mirrored that of the Rothschild family earlier, first overjoyed, then slowly turning to bewildernt and shock.
The reason was simple, because, like the Rothschild family, the Lan family also had only Zhang Xiaoman co out this ti.
"Ji Xing! What exactly happened in there? What about Lan Gu Clan Chief and the others?"
Upon coming out, Zhang Xiaoman was asked this question, which he had naturally anticipated. He shook his head helplessly and glanced at Alman before speaking the truth:
"The entire Lan family expedition team was done in by the Rothschild family."
As he spoke, he flung out a Jade Soul containing records of the previous battlefield information, which he had collected as evidence. The Jade Soul passed through the Purple Charm Gate and landed in Lan Yue’s hand.
"This is..."
Lan Yue imrsed her mind into it, and with just a glance, her expression changed drastically, and she turned her stare intensely at Alman.
Other Lan family elders also took turns examining the Jade Soul, and without exception, all were shocked and furious after viewing it.
"Alman! You scoundrel! How dare you co out!"
"Rothschild family! I, Lan Qi, swear to fight to the death against you!!"
"Vile beings! Daring such a sneak attack! Today I will kill you to avenge our fallen Clan Leader!!"
"..."
On the Lan family side, there was a ti of great agitation, with expressions that seed they wished to tear the Rothschild family apart imdiately.
At this mont, Alman’s face was also ashen, knowing fully well what would happen if this matter were exposed. The Lan family people would definitely fight to the death against them. Although the two sides were already at loggerheads, if the Lan family acted recklessly and started a fight here, it would be detrintal to his family. With many other forces watching like hawks, even if they won, it would be a costly victory, likely allowing those other forces to reap the benefits.
Fortunately, although the Lan family was extrely angry at this mont, they did not lose their rationality. The lesson from Elder Ming of the Yuanxin Clan was still fresh in their minds, and nobody wanted to provoke the Transcendent level powerhouses now. Anyway, the relic gate would completely close soon, and after this exploration action ended, they could naturally take action against the Rothschild family.
