Chapter 1480
At the Sheppards’ residence, Damian scanned the elders and core disciples present.
“Everyone, Norvin just sent a message saying that the Insect Ruler has already sent work. He’s waiting for our alliance and will personally come to assist us. What do you all think of this?”
“Since the Insect Ruler has decided to take action, there’s no doubt about the outcome. We should set out immediately to fulfill our duty!”
“Andrius is arrogant and domineering, thinking he’s above anyone else. He has never respected the ancient martial families. It’s time we confronted him in a decisive battle. I think we should seize this opportunity to eliminate him!”
“Killing Andrius will eliminate future troubles forever!”
...
All the Sheppard disciples clamored to kill Andrius.
“Good!” Damian finalized the decision with a clap. “It’s settled then. In three days, we’ll join forces with the ancient martial families and the Insect Ruler to attack Andrius. Victory is the only option for this battle. There’s no room for defeat!”
...
Scenes like that happened everywhere in the ancient martial world.
Three days later, at the Swallows’ residence.
Norvin invited various forces under the guise of celebrating his birthday. Many prestigious families gathered together in the festivities, creating a lively atmosphere.
There were many ancient martial families with deep roots, rarely-seen hidden sects, and experts from all corners of the country...
Of course, that was just how it appeared on the surface.
The banquet was just a façade presided over by the First Elder. It was deliberately set up by Norvin to conceal his true intentions.
The real decision-makers like Norvin had already gathered in the inner hall of the residence to discuss important matters.
“Tyrell Ander and the Ander experts, present!”
“Ronald Fuller and the Fuller experts, present!”
“Damian Sheppard and the Sheppard experts...”
With each shout, prominent figures from the ancient martial world arrived at the scene.
Suddenly, a figure dressed in a black robe and coat appeared at the entrance of the inner hall. Accompanying him was a cold and vast aura, causing everyone present to feel a chilling sensation from their souls.
It was the Insect Ruler!
The Insect Ruler really came from Murrfield.
The group behind him exuded powerful auras. They were all elites in the martial realm.
“Insect Ruler!”
The family leaders present stood up and greeted the Insect Ruler.
The Insect Ruler remained indifferent and ignored them.
“Insect Ruler, I’m from the Sheppard family. I’ve come here specifically to follow you and fight against Andrius together. If you have any orders, just command us!”
“Insect Ruler, I’m the forebearer of the Anders. I’ve come here just to kill Andrius. Feel free to command us if needed!”
“Insect Ruler, I’m...”
Immediately, the forebearers of the ancient martial families stepped forward, currying favor with the Insect Ruler. It was because once the Insect Ruler took action, Andrius would undoubtedly die.
By then, the insect soldier army would come from Murrfield and overturn Florence, and the Insect Ruler would become its supreme ruler.
The ancient martial families naturally could not wait to curry favor.
Little did they know, the face behind the familiar mask was not the Insect Ruler. It was the person they wanted to kill: Andrius!
Behind Andrius were Noir and the others from the Lycan Manor, disguised as the Insect Ruler’s forces.
“Hmph...” Andrius snorted coldly, ignoring these people.
“Tsk, what a snob...”
“Yeah, does he think he’s all that just because he’s wearing a cloak?”
“He could win awards with how well he’s acting!”
“The Insect Ruler is too full of himself.”
...
The forebearers did not say anything yet, but the juniors became annoyed. They simply did not know how powerful the Insect Ruler was, so they acted recklessly.
When those words were spoken, the forebearers instantly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough...
Swoosh—
Swish—
...
Countless insects appeared out of thin air, flying toward those who had just spoken.
In the blink of an eye, the insects landed on them.
“Ahhh...”
“My face...”
