Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Chapter 774: I Think So
Patriarch Xavier was the first to regain control of his emotions.
His eyes flashing with a ruthless glint, he took out a small communication device.
The ancestors narrowed their eyes when they saw this, and one of them asked, "What are you doing?"
"I won't feel at ease if I don't do anything about it." Patriarch Xavier uttered coldly.
No power below the Gold rank was allowed to set foot on the forsaken land, and even the Gold powers had to have permission before they could go there. If not, they would be targeted by all the powers.
Silverthorns were just a silver-rank power and therefore couldn't go there. But they had used the Xavier family, a mere Bronze rank power, as the gateway to enter the forsaken land. This meant if those super powers found out about it, which they most likely would, their Xavier family would be annihilated.
"What do you want to do?" The ancestors asked,
"Although I can't take revenge on the Silverthorns, I can make things difficult for them." Patriarch Xavier's lips curled up into a cold grin. "I'm going to inform the Domain Emperor family that the Silverthorns had gone to the forsaken land."
The expression of three ancestors changed.
"No! You must not do that!" They unanimously shouted.
If the Domain Emperor family found out about it, they could use it as an excuse and enter the forsaken land without worrying about any consequences. While that would certainly make things difficult for the Silverthorn family, their own situation would become worse.
Sure, the act of sending people to the forsaken land had already placed them in hot water, but there was still a chance, however slim, that they would somehow survive it. But if they inform the Domain Emperor family, the Silverthorn family would kill them to their last man for the 'betrayal.'
Patriarch Xavier gritted his teeth in frustration. He was angry, very angry, but he didn't want to stake his family just to take some petty revenge.
In the end, he chose to restrain his rage and put away the communication device.
"Good. Let's think with a cool head: what are we going to do going forward?" The ancestors said, and a lengthy discussion began.
…
"Heh, they really couldn't suppress themselves." A sneering voice echoed in the ancestor hall of the Domain Emperor family.
While Patriarch Xavier didn't inform them, the moment the teleportation formation sent the group to the forsaken land, the ancestors of the Domain Emperor family immediately found out. This showed despite having weakened greatly, it was not to be underestimated.
"You lot only have one objective, and that's to bring our estranged family member back, safe and sound. If you have to compromise somewhat to achieve this, do that; don't hesitate, but if you come across those Silverthorn bastards, don't show any mercy." A loud voice rumbled in the ancestral hall.
Immediately after, a gentler voice sounded, "Be careful out there. And if you run into some problem, seek out the head Watcher. He is a friend and will help you as much as he can. Good luck, children."
A group of ten people, all seemingly in their early to late twenties, stood at the center of a similar teleportation formation to the one the Xavier family used. The moment the ancestors' voice sounded, an old man standing outside the formation activated it.
"Yes, ancestors!" The group bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall.
Whoosh!
Unlike the Xavier family's teleportation formation, this formation didn't malfunction, and the group was safely sent away.
…
After the group vanished, the ancestral hall fell silent for a while before the gentle voice from before sighed.
"We should have tried to find out the current situation of the forsaken land before sending them."
There was no response for a while. Then,
"You are right, but how would it have been easy with our current strength? No one fears us, and the respect they once held for us is now completely gone." This voice was calm, but one could feel the hidden rage and helplessness in it.
"Sigh! Let's just hope everything goes well."
…
In front of the ancient temple…
BOOM!!
The blood demon was blasted back, blood spraying out of his mouth. He had a look of disbelief on his face as he looked at the khaki-robed man.
He knew this person was strong, but he had felt he could handle him after revealing his true strength. However, who knew this guy was also just like him, hiding his true strength all along?
Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he spat out some more blood, which instantly turned into a blood arrow.
The khaki-robed man appeared in front of him, ready to punch him in the head, but had to change the target when he felt the threat from the blood arrow.
Bang!
Unclenching his fist, he slapped the arrow out of existence and was about to move toward the blood demon when he frowned and looked at his palm, where a small cut was.
Xyrus Bloodborn, the blood demon, grinned. "Old man, don't you know you should never let a blood demon injure—"
Swish!
The khaki-robed man casually clenched his palm. When he unclenched it, the injury had vanished. He then grinned at Xyrus, whose eyes were narrowed.

"Why did you stop? Tell me what I shouldn't let a blood demon do."
Intense rage and killing intent flickered in Xyrus' blood-red eyes when he heard his mocking words, but he didn't do anything rash; instead, he retreated more.
"Tch! You are no fun, little abomination." The khaki-robed man clicked his tongue in disappointment. His voice had just fallen when he appeared in front of Xyrus, his hand already grabbing his neck.
Xyrus was stunned. He had been able to react last time, but now…
The khaki-robed man lifted him in the air and calmly asked, "Tell me, do you really think that the senior would need to intervene and save my life from you?"
Xyrus looked at him silently before his lips curved up.
Boom!
The khaki-robed man's expression changed drastically as his intuition gave him blaring warnings.
He knew he wouldn't be able to avoid whatever was coming, so instead of trying to retreat, he gathered his strength and squeezed his hand, aiming to break his neck and destroy his demon core.
However…
Xyrus' sneer only deepened, "Yes, I think so."
BANG!!
