<h4>Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: The Three Patriarchs</h4>


    As long as these three ancestors are present.


    The Krute family can remain prosperous and continue to thrive.


    For no other reason.


    In the Ancient Martial World, strength is revered.


    Even if it measures the standard of a family’s influence.


    Nothing else is considered, only how many Heavenly Rank Experts your force possesses.


    With Heavenly Rank Experts.


    There is the right to speak, the opportunity to develop further, and the capital topete for resources.


    Otherwise, everything is mere talk.


    Stankov in front, steward Taiges behind.


    The two headed straight for the top floor of the castle.


    With Stankov, the n Leader, leading the way, they cleared the path unimpeded.


    So the two quickly arrived at the top floor.


    Just like any ordinary floor.


    The top floor is also divided into rooms.


    Stankov led steward Taiges to the door of a room at the end of the corridor.


    This is a very small storeroom.


    In this massive castle, it is rtively inconspicuous.


    Stankov led steward Taiges and pushed open the door to enter.


    Inside the room.


    It is simr to a regr storeroom.


    The room contains mops, old tables, old chairs, and various sorts of misceneous objects.


    But on the innermost wall.


    Nothing is ced here.


    Stankov led steward Taiges to the wall and stopped.


    But behind this wall.


    Is a hidden chamber specifically built for the three ancestors of the Krute family.


    It is exclusively for the three ancestors to use while in closed-door cultivation.


    The soundproofing, sturdiness, and confidentiality of this chamber are all state-of-the-art globally.


    Even steward Taiges, until today, did not know the secluded chamber for the three ancestors was located here.


    He only knew previously that the three ancestors were secluded on the top floor.


    No matter how he thought of it, he would never imagine the chamber of the three ancestors would be in this small storeroom.


    Even outside, no one else could guess.


    Who would have thought.


    The most important three ancestors of the Krute family would go into seclusion inside a storeroom?


    It’s indeed somewhat shabby,pletely unworthy of the three ancestors’ status.


    Of course.


    This arrangement was chosen by the three ancestors themselves.


    The three estimated were worried about being disturbed and hence chose such a discreet ce.


    Gazing at the nk wall before him.


    Stankov took a deep breath.


    He could never imagine that under his leadership, the Krute family would someday be reduced to the point where he had to awaken the three ancestors prematurely.


    Thinking about it, Stankov bitterly shook his head. He then looked at steward Taiges and said, "Wait here, I’ll go in!"


    "Yes!"


    Steward Taiges understood his ce, nodded, and quickly stepped aside.


    Seeing this.


    Stankov advanced to the wall, ced his right hand in the center of it.


    It happened in an instant.


    The initially white wall emitted a green glow.


    Next, a "beep" sound was heard.


    "Identification passed."


    A cold metallic voice sounded.


    The next moment.


    The middle of the white wall suddenly split into a crack.


    The entire wall parted in two, just like an electric door, opening to both sides.


    Seeing this.


    Stankov took a deep breath and walked inside.


    As Stankov entered.


    The wall merged back together, returning to its original state.


    From outside, nothing looked out of ce.


    Steward Taiges watched this spectacle, privately marveling.


    If he hadn’t witnessed it firsthand.


    He wouldn’t believe, even if killed, that the secluded chamber of the three ancestors was behind it.


    Today he finally learned...


    Entering the chamber.


    The chamber was quite different from those depicted in films and novels.


    In films and novels, chambers were dark, with no light, resembling haunted houses.


    But the Krute family’s chamber, although called a chamber.


    Was brightly lit inside.


    And the interior style wasn’t like the resplendent luxury of European royals.


    It carried an air of Huaxia’s ancient style.


    Unified mahogany furniture arrangement.


    In the middle was a stone table with three stone stools.


    On the stone table, there was a set of purple y teapots.


    At the moment, no one sat near the stone table.


    There was an open space not far from the stone table.


    Holding three meditation mats.


    On those mats, three elderly figures were seated.


    All three wore long white robes.


    From their appearance, the age of all three seemed quite advanced, at least over ny.


    Their hair, eyebrows, and hair were all white.


    And at present.


    All three were in a meditative state, eyes closed, motionless, breathing very slowly. If not observed carefully, one wouldn’t notice.


    Upon seeing these three elders, Stankov’s face immediately disyed a reverent expression.


    Even if he was the esteemed n Leader of the Krute family, the true Dominator of Ba City.


    Even in all of F country, he’d be considered an influential figure.


    But before these three elders.


    He maintained utmost respect.


    Because.


    These three elders were the Krute family’s three ancestors, and Krute family’s current reliance.


    If not for them.


    The Krute family would fall into decline and never rise again.


    It can be said.


    The Krute family could do without him as n Leader.


    But could never be without these three elders.


    For they are the linchpins of the Krute family.


    Without them.


    The Krute family’s sky would indeed copse.


    Stankov carefully held his breath, slowed and softened his footsteps, cautiously moving forward to avoid disturbing the three.


    However, just as he took two steps.


    An elderly voice suddenly echoed in the chamber.


    "Stankov? What brings you here?"


    Upon hearing this.


    Stankov was stunned, hastily raising his gaze toward the three ancestors.


    Seeing this.


    Stankov’s eyes widened instantly.


    For at some unknown time.


    The three ancestors had all opened their eyes, watching him intently.


    This sight left Stankov stunned.


    But upon reflection, he was at ease.


    These three were outstanding Heavenly Rank Experts, possessing tremendous perceptive abilities.


    Even though they were in a secluded state just a moment ago.


    They probably sensed his presence the moment he entered the chamber.


    Understanding this.


    Stankov dared not dy any longer, quickly taking strides forward, and with a thudding sound, kneeled before the three elders, respectfully saying, "This junior is ipetent, unable to lead the Krute family to greater heights. Now, the family faces great peril, even facing extermination danger, so this junior dares to seek the three ancestors’ intervention, save the Krute family from cmity!"
