Chapter 783: The Chilling Smile!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wylder Flitwick knew what was wrong.
Before the seven of them came, they had all received warnings from their elders.
All of the warnings were the same.
That was… Be careful of the Crawford family.
It was a super clan that had been around for more than 1,800 years.
The Crawford family had three powerful families!
Their history was way too long, almost 2,000 years of family history. They were probably the ancestors of all the Crawfords in the country!
This was a true super family.
All the powerful families in the world were famous, and the Crawford family was the only one that was the most outstanding one!
The Crawford family was the leader of the powerful families!
Comparing the Flitwick family to the Crawford family was like comparing a firefly to the bright moon.
There was no comparison at all!
“Before I came here, my elders told me to be careful of the Crawford family!” Wylder said in a low voice.
“I received the same warning!”
Chance Yanes gently placed his right hand on his waist and held the hilt of his sword.
This action was not to guard against Braydon Neal, but to guard against the person in the dark!
The Crawford family was most likely already here!
Salvadore Carden was dressed in black, his entire body filled with killing intent. He said softly, “The Crawford family is ambitious. They know that there is a forbidden technique here, so they would surely send someone here.”
“A hundred years ago, among the 178 powerful families in the world, the Neal family was the most powerful. They had 76 pinnacle martial artists. The Neal family suppressed the hundreds of families and the Crawford family!”
Kaia Zajac, this girl who was disguised as a man, talked about the past.
The period she mentioned was the time when the Neal family was the most powerful family!
It was a pity that the riot a hundred years ago was extremely fierce and caused chaos in Hansworth.
There was no untouched land in the vast world!
All the people in the world lived in seclusion and cultivated martial arts. They helped the country in troubled times.
The chaos that had lasted for thirteen years finally subsided.
The martial artists of the hundred countries outside the borders were all forced to retreat from the borders of the country, and the riot ended.
But the consequences were tragic!
In 13 years, the number of martial artists in Hansworth decreased by more than 90%!
What did this mean?
Nine out of ten martial artists died!
It was not just Hansworth that had been greatly damaged.
Hansworth’s martial arts fate had been weakened to the extreme!
It was a devastating blow, and the power of martial arts was at its lowest point in Hansworth’s history of five thousand years.
The Neal family had 76 pinnacle martial artists, and none of them survived. All of them died in battle!
There were 592 kings, and none of them survived; they all died! The youngest was only twelve years old, and he died in Ludwig.
This was the Neal family!
That riot had affected the nine provinces, and the capital’s Neal family alone guarded eight provinces.
If not for this, the pinnacles of the Neal family would not have all died in battle.
The powerful Neal family had been destroyed in that riot and had already vanished into thin air, becoming a part of history.
In this era of powerful families, the Crawford family was the leader.
The Crawford family was in charge of the powerful families and was regarded as the leader.
“If the Neal family were here, who would dare to collude with foreign enemies?”
Forrest Gray snorted coldly.
It was obvious that even the scions of the powerful families despised the act of colluding with foreign countries.
The six of them had been instilled with the idea of putting the family first since they were young.
However, Wylder and the others were already adults and knew how to think independently.
The conflict between the powerful families and the Northern Army was ultimately due to their different ideologies. The conflict between the two sides was deep and could not be resolved. One side had to die before it could be resolved.
This was internal strife!
But colluding with foreign forces?
That was treason!
In ancient times, this crime would have been cleared up by the powerful families without the emperor’s permission.
However, in modern times, some people had already forgotten the rules of their ancestors!
At this moment, Wylder sighed softly. “Among the four great entities, the sects are the strongest, followed by the yin-yang. The aristocratic families are in the middle, and the powerful families are at the bottom!”
“The aristocratic families are even more atrocious!”
Chance snorted coldly. He was still unwilling to accept this deep down.
This was because in ancient times, there were more than four major entities in the world. However, the powerful families could definitely enter the top three.
But now?
It was at the bottom!
Wylder said calmly, “This is the truth. The Crawford family is getting more and more unruly. The martial artists in the sect are extremely overbearing. For the past hundred years, the families have long accumulated a deep grudge against them!
“I suspect that the incident with the Ludwig Army forty years ago was orchestrated by the Crawford family!”
Wylder’s words stirred up a youth’s killing intent.
This youth was Braydon!
Braydon’s cloth fluttered, and the dust under his feet was like water ripples, layer after layer, floating out like a ring.
A terrifying killing intent was faintly released.
The death of 700,000 Ludwig men was a pain in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Northern Army.
Even now, Braydon still couldn’t forget it!
Recently, Braydon had entered the capital and started a massacre against the powerful families.
However, the real culprit had not been found.
Braydon had already killed two rulers of Banko.
But was Hiroshi Takaeda the real culprit?
Obviously not!
A faint smile appeared on Braydon’s handsome face, and his cheeks seemed to reveal shallow dimples.
This smile made people shudder!
Maddox Johnstone, who was a ninth-level king, was so scared that he was hiccupping. He stood at the side with his head lowered, not daring to look up at Wylder and the others knew that they had talked too much today.
They all kept quiet, afraid of angering Braydon.
However, Braydon smiled like a peach blossom and asked softly, “Wylder, do you have evidence to prove that?”
“I’ve heard some rumors, but I don’t have any evidence. It was only revealed after decades of the incident. It proves that the forces that secretly planned this matter are extremely cautious and won’t leave behind any evidence!” Wylder answered truthfully.
Braydon clasped his hands behind his back and said softly, “Find some evidence and slaughter the Crawford family!”
Wylder was shocked.
If it were anyone else who said this, Wylder would definitely think that he was crazy.
But the person who said that was the Garrison King!
The white-robed young man who controlled the world!
The sons of the Northern Army under his command had been given titles last night. They all held important positions and held great power.
If Braydon really wanted to touch the Crawford family…
This young man might really be able to uproot the Crawford family!
Braydon slowly turned around and looked at Wylder. He asked with a faint smile, “Is there a problem?” “Commander, what I said just now was merely my guess…”
Wylder didn’t finish his sentence.
Braydon replied with one sentence, “I would rather kill three thousand wrongly than let one go!”
The moment these words came out, Wylder’s pupils constricted.
He was silent!
This Northern King was far superior to Martial Emperor Yanagi when he was young!
Braydon’s actions were no longer as simple as inheriting Martial Emperor Yanagi’s legacy.
A hundred years ago, Martial Emperor Yanagi failed to wipe out all the powerful families in one fell swoop..
