A mechanical sound rang out.
The originally dim room was now filled with countless magic arrays operating at a rapid speed, becoming extremely dazzling.
“Edward, have you really thought this through?”
The middle-aged woman frowned.
“There’s no need for you to stop me. It’s already meaningless.”
“If my big brothers want the position of the family head, just give it to them. I, Edward, am an expert at the deity domain level. The world is so big. Can they still lock me up in the Elizabeth family?”
Edward snorted coldly.
At this moment, the coffin in front of him emitted a blinding light. In the next moment, the coffin slowly moved away.
An old man’s figure appeared within.
At this moment, the old man did not have the slightest aura of life on his body. He was simply a dead person.
Not to mention, there was a magical fluctuation on his body.
However, in the next moment, the countless magic arrays in the surroundings suddenly activated, injecting powerful life energy into the old man’s body.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes.
However, it was not his pupils in his eyes, but deep darkness.
“Why did you summon me?”
The old man did not speak at all. His voice resounded throughout the entire sacrificial hall.
His voice was like a great bell, shaking everyone’s hearts.
“I am the current head of the Elizabeth family, Edward Elizabeth.”
Edward looked at the old man in front of him, frowning as he spoke in a serious tone.
“My child is also the future head of the Elizabeth family. He is the only legitimate successor of the Elizabeth family. Just now, he was brutally murdered.”
“The other party’s strength has already surpassed the peak of the divine realm. He is an existence that our family is unable to resist. I’m afraid that the other party already has the strength of a demigod. I hope that the forefather will take action and take revenge for our Elizabeth family!”
Edward told the old man everything that was on his mind.
When the old man heard this, he nodded.
“That’s right.”
“Our Elizabeth family has been the most powerful family under the imperial family since ancient times. To think that such an ignorant existence would actually dare to kill the heir of our Elizabeth family. He’s truly tired of living.”
“Tell me his name. I’ll go kill that fellow right now and restore the past glory of the Elizabeth family!”
The old man coldly snorted and said.
Edward hurriedly told the old man all the information that the black shadow had obtained about Joelson. The old man nodded and did not intend to say anything else. He directly turned into a ray of light and rushed into the distance!
That direction was the place where Joelson was located!
Although so many things had already happened, there was not much progress on Joelson’s side.
The first one was Elena. She had her mouth wide open and looked at Joelson in disbelief.
“Mr. Joelson, are you really that strong!”
Joelson waved his hand and looked at him with disdain.
“Not that strong. Look, didn’t you fall from the Wailing Abyss? You also broke your leg, didn’t you?”
Mia was about to say something when she suddenly looked at the corner of the street.
A black shadow was rushing towards them.
“Danger!”
Mia cried out in surprise.
This black shadow was the one who had been spying on Joelson. At this moment, Edward had already given a death order. Before the reinforcements from his family arrived, he had to stall the other party no matter what.
At this moment, the other party had already obtained the resplendent gem. Who knew if the other party would immediately leave the underground world.
If that was really the case, it would truly be as difficult as ascending to the heavens if they wanted to find any traces of Joelson in the future!
Hence, the black shadow had no other choice but to give it his all, wanting to hold back Joelson.
The black shadow naturally knew how powerful the Elizabeth family’s ancestor was. He did not need to hold back for too long. It was likely that the ancestor would be able to immediately come forward.
However, he had truly overestimated his own strength. Although he had the strength of a high-level divine realm expert the moment he made his move, surpassing 90% of the fellows in the underground city… In the eyes of Joelson, he was nothing at all.
Looking at the black figure that was attacking from afar, Joelson shook his head helplessly.
“Really, why are there always so many little bugs harassing me? It’s so annoying!”
After saying this, Joelson slowly stretched his body and even closed his eyes. He did not put the other party in his eyes at all.
Although the black shadow knew that Joelson’s strength was extremely powerful and had even broken through the peak of the divine realm and reached the level of a demigod, when he saw that the other party was so arrogant and did not put him in his eyes at all, an inexplicable fury suddenly rose from the black shadow’s heart!
He wanted to prove to Joelson that he was absolutely not an existence that Joelson could ignore!
The black shadow’s combat experience was also extremely rich. He had been doing underground work for the Elizabeth family for many years, so he naturally had the idea to fight at the first moment.
No matter how powerful Joelson was, Elena by his side and the servant girl called Mia from the Glenn family did not have the same strength as Joelson.
Under his surprise attack, the black shadow took Joelson as his target on the surface and immediately changed his direction to attack Mia and Elena. Only by taking the hostage would he be able to delay Joelson’s time.
Having made his plan in his heart, the black shadow did not have any more worries and was ready to give it his all. His speed was so fast that ordinary people could not even see him with their naked eyes.
He was like a ghost in the dark night, walking in the invisible!
The distance between him and Joelson was rapidly closing. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Joelson.
At this moment, Joelson was even maintaining a lazy posture. He had no intention of opening his eyes at all.
Everything happened too quickly. In a flash, only Elena and Mia were looking at the rapidly approaching black shadow in horror.
Elena and Mia wanted to do something. Although time seemed to have slowed down at this moment, they were powerless to change anything.
They watched helplessly as the black shadow charged towards Joelson’s vital point.
However, at this moment, the black shadow strangely changed its direction in the air. The fatal strike that was originally prepared to unleash towards Joelson suddenly changed into two large hands that grabbed towards Mia and Elena!
Oh no!
The two ladies were extremely shocked. However, it was already too late for them to escape at this moment.
The two ladies were extremely unwilling when they saw that the large hands of the black shadow were about to grab them.
The moment the black shadow was about to touch Elena and Mia, time seemed to have paused.
A crack suddenly appeared on the screen.
The crack grew bigger and bigger, and finally, it passed through the black shadow’s body!
Time had stopped!
The black shadow was still unable to figure out how he had died!
His eyes were filled with confusion.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Meanwhile, Joelson took out a large umbrella from somewhere, blocking the two girls.
