The Swallow family was in deep distress.


    Norvin arrived at the memorial hall and said, “Everyone, leave. I want to talk to the forebearer.”


    “Yes.”


    After everyone left, Norvin and his most trusted aide reced Duncan’s real body with one that


    resembled him, then moved the real corpse into the secret room.


    Then, he dismissed the aide.


    “I’m sorry, forebearer.” Norvin knelt in front of the corpse and bowed his head, then continued, “With my


    current strength, it’s hard enough to protect the Swallow family, let alone seek revenge.


    “Thus, I have to use the method the Insect Ruler told me. Absorbing your inner energy will allow me to


    break through to the Martial Saint realm and the Divine Steps.


    “Don’t worry. After I absorb your inner energy, I’ll definitely annihte the Shrouded Gate and erase the


    humiliation of today!”


    Then, Norvin took out a bottle and poured out a strange–looking insect into Duncan’s mouth.


    Soon, Duncan’s body showed signs of swelling, and inner energy gathered continuously.


    “Come…”


    Norvin began to absorb this pure inner energy.


    Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away, Luna led all the members of the Shrouded Gate and headed


    toward ndom in the Obaro continent.


    “Master…” Marcellus nced at Sumeria below them and asked with concern, You brought all the


    elites to Obaro, but what if there’s trouble in Florence?”


    Others might not know, but Marcellus did.


    Luna only cared about two things.


    First, her husband.


    Second, her home.


    She was going to Obaro for her husband, but Sumeria was left undefended.


    “I killed Duncan openly as a warning to all the ancient martial forces in Florence not to oppose the


    Shrouded Gate. Otherwise, they will share Duncan’s fate!” Luna’s voice was filled with determination


    and coldness, making others shiver.


    “But…” Marcellus was still worried. “The ancient martial world isplex. If they unite, killing Duncan


    might not be enough to deter them.”


    His worries were not unfounded.


    After all, the Shrouded Gate had killed many martial realm experts from various sects and factions.


    Furthermore, now that the Shrouded Gate was so powerful, it was highly likely that they would join


    forces against them.


    “Hmph…”


    A ripple of killing intent shed in Luna’s beautiful eyes. “If they dare to unite against us and provoke


    us…


    “The day we return from Obaro will be the day of their deaths! Any enemy who dares approach will be


    annihted. None will be spared!”


    At those words, a fierce chilling intent swept through the entire ne.

    Marcellus, who was the closest, instantly had goosebumps and cold sweat form on his forehead.


    At the same time, in the capital of ndom, Andrius and his group were also preparing to depart.


    “Wolf King!”


    When the ck Hawk heard of the news, he immediately informed Andrius, “We just received news


    that the forebearer of the Swallows, Duncan Swallow, was killed by the Shrouded Gate’s master. For


    some reason, the Shrouded Gate’s master’s strength suddenly increased dramatically, and they yed


    Duncan in just three moves.


    “They also said that if the Swallow family dares to go against them again, they’llpletely annihte


    the family.”


    The news shocked Andrius.


    Duncan Swallow… He was ate–stage Martial God who had been famous for many years!


    It had only been a short while ago that the Shrouded Gate’s master was on even ground with him, but


    now, they were able to kill him in three moves…


    Not even a Martial Saint would be able to do that, right?


    How powerful was the master?


    While Andrius was still digesting the information, the ck Hawk continued,“ Also, ording to the
