“Kill Cloud!”
After Young Master Ou finished speaking, everyone silently furrowed their brows and began to think. Although each person was tightly frowning, their eyes were all shining with excitement.
It was evident that the Kill Cloud… this plan piqued everyone's interest and stirred their ambitions.
The Ao Family had dominated the martial arts world for over a thousand years. If they could leverage Ao Xieyun to instigate the Ao Family into action against their rivals, framing them in the process… then… it would undoubtedly be a golden opportunity for the families present!
Perhaps, the Ao Family could engage in a mutually destructive conflict with them…
If that were the case… wouldn't we have a chance to take their place?
“However, the most critical aspect of this matter is not about killing Ao Xieyun, but the confidentiality among us! If things succeed, our families will rise to prominence in no time; but if the plan is exposed, we will all turn to ash in an instant!”
Tu Qianhao sighed as he said this. Although he was sighing and reminding them, a fierce light flickered in his eyes as he looked at everyone.
It was clear that if anyone leaked the information, they would all turn against that person.
Everyone fell into silence.
“This matter is indeed of utmost importance,” Young Master Ou smiled and said, “However, those of us present might as well establish a blood oath regarding this matter! To gain everyone’s trust. Furthermore, we can draft a blood contract as proof; that way, even if someone divulges the secret to the Ao Family and the plan is exposed, they will still be unable to protect themselves!”
“Presumptuous! Did you say that?” Ou Chengwu pretended to be displeased and scolded his son.
Zhao Wujin chuckled and said, “Patriarch Ou need not be angry; I actually think Young Master Ou's words are quite reasonable.”
“Indeed, indeed.”
“Please go on, Young Master Ou.”
Young Master Ou invigorated himself and said, “To ensure that the secret does not leak, we must take a poisonous oath. Let us swear in the name of our ancestors and in the name of our future descendants: if anyone leaks the secret, their ancestors for eight generations will never find peace and will eternally fall into hell; the descendants will be born as thieves and prostitutes, generation after generation!”
As soon as this statement was made, the room fell into utter silence!
Such an oath was intensely vicious! Even the most heinous and irreverent person would hesitate to joke about their ancestors and future descendants.
After a moment of silence, the Young Dark Demon slowly raised his head, his gaze sharp as a blade sweeping over everyone, and said solemnly, “If one does not do anything immoral, what is there to fear about a blood oath? Are you all afraid?!”
His voice already harbored a thick killing intent. Both Tu Qianhao and Tian Buhui shot him a fierce look.
“Good! Exactly so!” Zhao Wujin was the first to respond.
“Then it shall be as such.” With Tian Buhui's agreement, it was as if a final decision had been made!
Immediately, everyone pricked their fingers to swear, facing the heavens and the earth, making their oath; they even used their essence blood as ink to write a contract; signing their names in bold!
Seeing their names appear in bright red on the white paper, everyone felt a complex mix of emotions. But one thing was clear: after today, even if they wanted to withdraw… it would be absolutely impossible!
Success would lead to the pinnacle, while failure would bring irreversible calamity!
“Great!” Ou Chengwu looked at everyone swearing oaths and signing the blood contract, feeling a surge of joy and relief, and said, “Since that's the case, we should not delay; let’s act immediately!”
“Ao Xieyun is currently hunting ninth level spirit beasts in the Extreme North Wilderness; we can carefully devise how to ambush him on his way back!” Young Master Ou said casually, “There is one thing I need to bring to everyone’s attention, which is…”
