Chapter 941: Chapter 509: Family Meeting_2

"Three things.

First, the ancestral grandfather has awakened.

Second, the Forbidden Rift has opened."

The ancestral grandfather, the Forbidden Rift... The previously calm demeanor of the crowd was suddenly stirred.

Everyone present here has heard of the name Forbidden Rift.

No, to be precise, everyone here participates daily in family competition and ranking for the sake of the Forbidden Rift.

The top twenty members are qualified to enter the family’s managed A Rank crack.

While the top three powerhouses are qualified to enter the Forbidden Rift within the family!

However, for a hundred years, the Forbidden Rift has been more a phantom promise.

Neither Lai Te nor Daphne has even seen the shadow of the Forbidden Rift.

Even the royal family of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom believed the Forbidden Rift under the Golden Canary would remain forever closed!

But now, this crack has unexpectedly reopened.

"The Forbidden Rift has opened, the ancestral grandfather has awakened..."

"Isn’t this a good thing?"

Their reference to the ancestral grandfather refers to the strongest member of the Golden Canary Family from three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago, the ancestral grandfather assassinated the King of the Black Blood Empire single-handedly, establishing the Golden Canary’s dominant status.

Throughout the long history of the Golden Canary Family, there have been many strong individuals, yet the ancestral grandfather is the only one still alive.

However, even though he eluded the Death God, this ancestral grandfather fell into a prolonged slumber.

Every ten years, the people would only hear fragments of stories about the ancestral grandfather.

They looked at each other.

They did not understand why the clan leader was so worried.

The ancestral grandfather stands on the pinnacle of Sixth Rank, a being akin to a deity, and he is the foundation of their family being called the right hand of the king.

It was precisely because of the ancestral grandfather’s slumber that their family’s development faced setbacks these past years.

The clan leader sighed:

"Third, the Beast of Hundred Flowers has awakened and requires a sacrifice."

"Clan leader, a sacrifice, isn’t it easy to offer sacrifice..."

The clan leader furrowed his brow:

"No, this time, it’s a Fifth Rank sacrifice."

"A Fifth Rank sacrifice..."

The crowd was slightly shocked.

Even Lai Te, seated beside the clan leader, couldn’t help but clench his fists.

The clan leader sighed and said:

"The ancestral grandfather told me that the Beast of Hundred Flowers needs three Fifth Rank Transcendents to appease its formidable power..."

The clan leader’s calm words were like a thunderbolt, igniting the entire conference room.

So it’s true... Chen Qi mused.

The Holy Beast of the entire Golden Flower Bird Kingdom will plunge into unprecedented frenzy.

Ivver asked:

"Three, clan leader, are you joking?

In the past, wasn’t the sacrifice for the Beast of Hundred Flowers only requiring a large number of Flower Cup Phase extraordinary items?"

Including those absent from today’s meeting and the recently promoted Fen, their family’s vast assembly totals only seven Fifth Rank Transcendents.

Fifth Rank Transcendents are the most vital combat forces of the Golden Canary Family, capable of tipping the scales of war.

To think, their family is still mortal enemies with the Banshee Family!

The crowd buzzing with discussion.

Offering a sacrifice of five Fifth Rank Transcendents is simply outrageous.

To ascend to Fifth Rank is to be a genius among geniuses in the family.

"Everyone, calm down first."

The clan leader slammed the table:

"It’s a sacrifice of strength, not of life.

After the sacrifice, the strength of a Fifth Rank Transcendent will merely revert to Fourth Rank."

Lai Te asked:

"If one becomes Fourth Rank, can they return to Fifth Rank..."

After pondering for a long time, the clan leader replied:

"Impossible."

The crowd immediately retorted:

"Clan leader, what kind of joke is this!"

"Clan leader, I can follow any order you give!

But sacrificing Fifth Rank is equivalent to cutting off our own limbs!"

Whether it be Lai Te or other Fifth Rank Transcendents, each Fifth Rank Extraordinary is nurtured through countless resources.

Behind them stands the internal powers of the Golden Canary Family.

Any Fifth Rank reverting to Fourth Rank would disrupt their extensive backing.

Such noise... Chen Qi watched the crowd.

This order is so absurd that the entire conference room is caught in unprecedented conflict.

"Quiet!"

The clan leader slammed his right hand down, pounding the table, erupting immense pressure across the conference room.

Under the clan leader’s spiritual pressure, the crowd ceased their bickering.

The clan leader let out a long sigh:

"I understand your bewilderment and distress.

"But now, I need a solution, not a rebuttal!"

The fifth-ranked Dragon Knight, Art, wiped a drop of cold sweat:

"Clan Leader, Clan Leader, can we not sacrifice?"

Art is ranked fifth and is also a Fifth Rank Transcendent.

He and his family control a vast dragon breeding room, continuously supplying dragons to the kingdom.

However, all of this is built on the foundation of his power being sufficient to suppress the Dragon King!

If he reaches Fifth Rank, he and his family behind him will abandon countless interests.

Art struggled to organize words of rebuttal in his mind.

If they really agreed, among those to be sacrificed, there would definitely be him!

Such a thing must not be allowed to happen... Art said:

"Even if we don’t sacrifice, don’t sacrifice..."

"Don’t sacrifice?"

The Clan Leader swept over the crowd, his eyes like those of a fierce dragon:

"Has being too comfortable made you forget the teachings of your childhood?"

"The reason our family can prosper is that, a hundred years ago, our ancestor signed a contract with the Beast of Hundred Flowers..."

"It was the Beast of Hundred Flowers that made the barren land bloom with flowers and forests, it provided food for this land."

"Do you know what will happen if we do not sacrifice?"

"Food will wither, cities will collapse, and the people of the entire Art Capital will slaughter each other."

"The Beast of Hundred Flowers is not just a Holy Beast; it is the land itself."

The Clan Leader fixed his gaze on Lai Te:

"It was it that gave you the inspiration talent. Without the Beast of Hundred Flowers, do you think you could become Fifth Rank?"

Transcendents and their descendants are just ordinary people.

It is the power of the Beast of Hundred Flowers that endowed their family with talents far surpassing ordinary families.

The crowd fell into prolonged silence.

As the Clan Leader said, the Beast of Hundred Flowers is the source of prosperity.

The land needs sacrifices; they have no choice.

The Clan Leader continued:

"My children, without sacrifice, our family could not prosper."

"You should know that without the family’s Fifth Rank Transcendent, the ultimate result would only be a tragic death in the rift."

His gaze was like a sharp blade:

"I know that in places where I am not aware, you and your families are striving for promotion, just like Fen..."

The crowd looked at each other.

Recently, many sealed cracks have opened, and indeed, there are quite a few within their family touching the threshold of Fifth Rank.

The Clan Leader said:

"Next, I will provide you with help, whether in promotion or other methods, I hope you can assist."

"Rest assured, those who sacrifice for the family in the Forbidden Rift will not be forgotten; the whole family will remember their contribution."

"The Forbidden Rift is about to open, and there will be a share of the rewards for them!"

After speaking, the Clan Leader pushed out two Fifth-rank Professional Cards.

The crowd’s eyes lit up, looking at each other.

The Clan Leader was not reneging on his word.

The resources of the Forbidden Rift are unimaginable, and legend has it that there are even resources to advance to Sixth Rank.

Sacrificing a Fifth Rank Transcendent in the family might really bring more rewards!

Not to mention, according to the Clan Leader’s meaning, he was willing to give out valuable Fifth-rank Professional Cards to help Fourth Rank Transcendents qualify for promotion for free.

The crowd buzzed with discussions.

The news of today’s meeting was too shocking, and they were unable to come to an accurate conclusion.

"Qi..."

Fen looked at Chen Qi.

It seemed she understood why the Clan Leader sought her.

Although she is Fifth Rank, she is afflicted with Blood Flower Disease, making her combat power weak.

Undoubtedly, she was the best ’sacrifice’.

The Clan Leader’s gaze inevitably fell on Fen, examining her Spirit Power Field.

As expected, indeed, it was still incurable... The Clan Leader sighed:

"Fen, your situation.

I have consulted the ancestor, and he promised you that if you are willing to sacrifice your Fifth Rank power, he would go to the Forbidden Rift to seek herbs to cure the Blood Flower Disease..."

The attention of everyone turned to Fen, undoubtedly finding a straw of hope.

Although Fen is Fifth Rank, her Spirit Power Field is too weak.

"I..."

Fen felt a strong pain in her chest.

If no treatment was received, she would have, at most, three months to live.

This might indeed be a good choice.

The crowd cast expectant gazes toward Fen.

"I..."

Fen’s lips moved slightly, especially hesitant.

However, before Fen could speak, Chen Qi interrupted;

"No, Clan Leader, Fen absolutely will not be a sacrifice for the offering."

"Absolutely not."
