The already ringing explosion blasted at the main entrance of the Priscian family.
The echoing roar spread, and many family members felt a stabbing pain in their eardrums at that moment.
The walls of the entire family estate also began to tremble incessantly.
“What’s happening?”
“The sound is from the main entrance… Could it be an enemy attack?”
People kept speaking out.
“Who would dare to attack the Priscian family?”
For a time, many turned their gazes toward the main entrance, where dust filled the air.
A Sky Domain aura spread in all directions from within that dust.
“Sky Domain power?!”
A Priscian family member sensed that aura and immediately shuddered.
Without a doubt, that was definitely a Sky Domain-level power.
Moreover, it carried an extremely intense aura of holy power!
“Is it someone from the Holy Sanctuary?”
Another person spoke with a trembling voice.
At that moment, the dust gradually settled.
Everyone could now see more clearly what was happening at the main entrance.
They saw the family’s elite warriors lying on the ground, their chests heaving, blood flowing, barely alive.
They saw the main entrance itself had been blasted to rubble.
And they saw the several defensive formations set up at the family gate—all now activated, yet forcibly pierced through!
They also saw…
A young girl walking past the fallen elite warriors, through the breach in the formation, slowly approaching the interior of the Priscian family!
Most of them recognized the girl—
Lu Mo!
The attacker was just her, alone.
*beep-beep-beep—
At the same time, inside the restricted annex.
The token representing the head of the family, fastened at the waist of the old man, vibrated violently and flashed red.
This meant something had happened in the Priscian family.
And it was something extremely serious!
The old man had no choice but to pause his current action and picked up the token with some impatience.
“What’s going on?”
“Patriarch… a sudden attack occurred at the Priscian family’s main entrance. The elite warriors stationed outside were instantly routed, and the main gate’s defenses have been breached!”
“An attack?”
The old man was taken aback, then quickly asked:
“How was it breached? How many attackers? What faction are they from?”
Then the other party’s words made the old man’s breath catch.
“One person?”
The attacker… was just one person.
One person dared to attack the Priscian family?
Are they crazy?
“Who?” the old man continued.
Then the other party gave Lu Mo’s name.
“It’s Lu Mo.”
“What? Lu Mo?!”
Ethan’s face was full of disbelief.
At that moment, Cecilia, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
Since childhood.
It had always been like this.
Whenever she was in danger or on the verge of despair, Lu Mo would suddenly appear and save her.
And now, it was happening again.
Just like when she was young, hope suddenly rose in her heart, and she began to look forward.
But soon, worry crept onto her face.
No…
Miss Lu Mo, you shouldn’t be here…
The old man spoke:
“Stop her.”
“Effective immediately, the family is on highest alert.”
“I temporarily authorize you to use the divine artifact.”
“Once I finish what I’m doing here, I will appear and interrogate her personally.”
“Understood!”
Soon, the communication ended.
“Coming right to me… is that it?”
The old man snorted coldly.
“In this situation, she dares to break into the Priscian family alone?”
“It seems she really is desperate…”
“And she has no idea of the terror of a God-descendant family.”
He continued speaking:
“Let her witness the depths of the Priscian family’s power…”
“Even if she made a deal with the demons and obtained the authority and power of what seems to be a Duke-class demon—so what?”
“A Duke-class demon means nothing before the Priscian family.”
But soon, he withdrew his gaze, reawakened the feather pen outlined with divine runes in his hand, and looked back at Cecilia.
Murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
At this moment, inside the Priscian family.
“Stop right there!”
“Miss Lu Mo, do you realize what you’ve done?”
“Forcing your way into a God-descendant family during a lockdown, severely injuring a God-descendant, destroying the family’s main gate… every one of these crimes is punishable by death!”
“If not for your status, we would have executed you on the spot just now!”
One elite warrior after another rushed forward, gradually surrounding Lu Mo.
Their voices were icy cold as they simultaneously unleashed their Earth Pulse power, pressing down on Lu Mo.
They wanted her to stop, kneel, and confess her crimes.
But Lu Mo paid no attention to their words.
She simply walked forward on her own, ignoring the pressure, as if searching for something.
“As I thought, Cecilia is being held here in the Priscian family?”
She muttered softly.
As she stepped into the Priscian estate, she clearly felt the spiritual thread connecting her to Cecilia becoming more active.
She wanted to sense Cecilia’s aura.
But it seemed to be blocked by some kind of restriction.
She could only rely on that spiritual thread to find her.
“What are you talking about—”
A Priscian family member demanded harshly.
“I said, I came here to take someone away.”
Lu Mo looked at that Priscian clansman and spoke coldly.
“Take someone away? Ridiculous!”
The clansman shouted angrily again:
“The Priscian family, a God-descendant family—since when did we allow any stray cat or dog to enter?”
“How low-level is your excuse!”
“And even if the person you want is inside the Priscian family, their coming and going is decided by the Priscian family. It’s not your place to interfere!”
“Do you really think that, just because you bear the title of hero, the Priscian family wouldn’t dare touch you?”
Lu Mo ignored the reprimand and kept walking forward.
After being ignored repeatedly, that clansman finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
The next moment, he shot forward, Earth Pulse power coiling around his blade as it slashed toward Lu Mo’s shoulder!
Just as the long blade was about to tear into Lu Mo’s chest—
Lu Mo’s fingertip, her spatial ring flashed.
Another gleaming sword suddenly appeared, blocking the blade’s path!
The clansman was startled.
Lu Mo seemed to have already predicted his attack trajectory.
Even if her cultivation had been destroyed, the young girl’s combat experience was still terrifyingly sharp!
But so what if she predicted it?
With Earth Pulse-level power, he could completely ignore her combat skills and crush her!
At that moment, the clansman also saw Lu Mo, one hand gripping the sword, while the other hand’s fingertips lightly brushed along the blade.
Another surge of Sky Domain power flowed onto the sword!
“What is this—”
The clansman’s eyes widened as he finally noticed what Lu Mo was holding in her other hand.
Another crystal!
A crystal imbued with a rich holy aura and Sky Domain power!
Lu Mo abruptly twisted the sword and slashed downward!
The aura on the sword climbed.
*boom—
Sword and blade clashed.
The Sky Domain power on the sword instantly shattered the clansman’s Earth Pulse power!
As Lu Mo drove the sword forward, the Sky Domain power erupted!
That clansman was hit directly by the Sky Domain power, his cultivation collapsed, blood spurted, and he was sent flying!
His body was hurled dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into a wall before collapsing weakly.
A mist of blood spread through the space along his trajectory.
This sudden scene shocked the other elite warriors present.
“What happened?”
“Another Sky Domain combat technique crystal?”
“It doesn’t seem like a combat technique crystal—more like a life-saving item granted by the Holy Sanctuary?”
They exchanged words.
Sky Domain-level combat technique crystals, due to extremely high material requirements, extremely complex craftsmanship, and the need for Sky Domain experts to invest a great deal of time and effort, were exorbitantly expensive and incredibly rare.
Sky Domain-level life-saving items were even more precious by countless times.
These were basically items used only when one’s life was on the line or in the direst situations.
But Lu Mo?
“This is already the second time she’s used a Sky Domain-tier item…”
Someone speculated.
“Does she still have more?”
“Lu Mo probably has at most three or four Sky Domain-tier items, right?”
“From now on, she’ll have to use them sparingly, won’t she?”
But immediately after, Lu Mo, in full view of everyone, pulled out another combat technique crystal.
Activating it, she threw it directly into the densest group of people.
The crystal awakened, Sky Domain power exploded, and countless holy swords rained down, slaughtering toward the crowd before her!
*boom boom boom—
Feeling the arrival of Sky Domain power, the elite warriors scrambled to flee.
Some were too slow and were struck by the sword rain, blood spraying as they screamed in agony.
The sword rain bombarded the area, shattering and collapsing the surrounding ground and buildings.
The Priscian family estate grew more and more wrecked.
Seeing the elite warriors scatter in all directions, Lu Mo focused on sensing the spiritual thread connecting her to Cecilia and continued walking forward.
“The sword rain is over!”
“Charge now! She definitely has no more trump cards!”
As the sword rain vanished, the Priscian family members felt emboldened again. They stopped fleeing and converged on Lu Mo, ready to kill her.
But just a few seconds later—
“Whoa, how does she have another crystal?”
“No, it’s Sky Domain power!”
“Run, run for it!!!”
Another combat technique crystal was activated.
This time, the Sky Domain power and holy power transformed into a blazing sun, smashing violently into the ground!
Even the ground of the Priscian family shook violently several times.
The earth cracked, and many figures who had tried to charge at Lu Mo turned charred black, collapsing to the ground, wailing in extreme pain.
“She shouldn’t have any more Sky Domain-tier items. Let’s—”
“No! How does she have another crystal!”
“She’s pulling out another crystal!”
“It’s probably a bluff, right? She might really be out…”
Someone believed that and immediately unleashed their full power, charging at Lu Mo, clearly intent on punching her to her knees!
But as Lu Mo activated yet another crystal, the familiar Sky Domain power radiated outward.
That clansman’s eyes instantly changed from wolf-like sharpness to despair.
Lu Mo continued forward, searching for Cecilia’s location.
By now, the surviving elite warriors of the Priscian family were completely panicked.
What’s going on?
Just how many Sky Domain-tier items does this girl have?
Did she empty out the Holy Sanctuary’s treasury or something?
