<h4>Chapter 2389: Chapter 2389: Disaster Diverted East</h4>


    "You know?"


    Faust Beaumont was very surprised.


    "The entire martial arts world knew it overnight. Unexpectedly, the mystical seed obtained by the southeastern Jayceon Rose back then has now turned out to be the Zodiac Lotus Shadow!"


    Hill Leocadia shook his head and sighed, "That thing was taken by Silvio Reed from the deity’s lotus seat back then; it’s said to carry the divine aura. Unfortunately, everyone thinks a seed might have more symbolic significance than practical use."


    "It seems we all guessed wrong."


    He wore a hood, hiding his face.


    This is a trait of the Faceless n; concealment is their primary task.


    As long as the enemy cannot see them, they are safe.


    "Such a treasure really makes my heart throb. But who could steal it?" Faust Beaumont’s voice wasden with greed; legend has it this Zodiac Lotus Shadow is the seed of the divine lotus seat.


    Now the seed has bloomed; if it forms a new lotus seat, it will undoubtedly offer huge assistance in cultivation.


    Though the Beaumont Family almost had no way out due to ck Dragon in earlier years, thanks to the peerless masters escaping, the essence of Beaumont Family not only was perfectly inherited but also further improved.


    These years, Beaumont Family has been lurking, waiting for a chance.


    Now, the chance has arrived.


    Daring to be the first to strike indicates the Beaumont Family’s self-confidence.


    Unlike the gradually declining Dragon Family, Beaumont Family is truly a family of masters.


    Dragon Family’s rise back then was nothing more than a fluke, drinking the water of the gods.


    Only during the rampant dragon era could they be Dragon yers.


    If it were someone else, bing a new Dragon yer is not impossible.


    Dragon Family lived off old prestige for years, resulting in them having masters, but everyone was deceived by ck Dragon’s schemes, rushing to their deaths, causing the family’s heritage to continuously decline.


    But Beaumont Family is different.


    They bear grudges!


    Everyone in the family is filled with anger!


    Their ancestors’ remains are ced in the most conspicuous position in the Beaumont Family’s current residence.


    Although turned into dry bones, scars remain on the bones!


    Shocking to behold!


    These things constantly motivate Beaumont Family members, urging them to avenge their grievances!


    Generation after generation of Beaumont Family grew up under this education; their internal rage is beyond ordinary people’s imagination.


    Moreover, Beaumont men must be independent once reaching fifty!


    The disciples under Faust Beaumont were all personally trained by him.


    If these people were lost, the Beaumont Family still has others.


    If Faust Beaumont could obtain the Zodiac Lotus Shadow now, it would undoubtedly add to his revenge!


    A treasure known to all, who wouldn’t want it?


    "That thing’s whereabouts are unknown. But it’s foreseeable that the martial arts world will have a bloodbath!" Hill Leocadia said before leaving with his people.


    It appeared only Faust Beaumont was in the forest.


    But in reality, many people were hidden here.


    Including Isaak Ridge, everyone utilized a grand formation to conceal themselves.


    But just at this moment!


    Suddenly, two people ran through the forest!


    One in front, one in back!


    Bang!


    As the pursuit distance narrowed, the person in the back leaped and kicked the person in front right in the back.


    Thud!


    The person in front fell heavily to the ground.


    "Kid, hand over the treasure!" The person in the back drew a long knife and spoke viciously.


    "How dare you offend me! Do you know who covets this thing? If it were my family..."


    "So much nonsense!"


    sh!


    Gold Cicada swung a knife!


    Severing the man’s head.


    It was then he noticed someone was standing in front of him.


    "Who are you?"


    "Just a passerby," Faust Beaumont said, hands behind his back, smiling.


    "Oh." Gold Cicada sneered coldly, bending down to take a golden lotus from the corpse!


    The golden lotus gleamed with golden light; even at a short distance, one could feel the spiritual power upon it!


    Surging!


    Making one’s heart restless.


    Such a thing, Faust Beaumont naturally knew it was a treasure.


    Wait!


    Golden lotus!


    A thought of the Zodiac Lotus Shadow instantly crossed his mind!


    Could it be such a coincidence?


    "Since you passed by, it’s very unfortunate that you met me." Gold Cicada held the golden lotus, gently pushed forward!


    A wave of energy burst forth!


    "What are you doing?" Faust Beaumont forced himself to control his excitement, pped hands forward!


    But for the prideful Faust Beaumont, he felt the front was like a vast ocean, and himself like a small boat!


    No ability to resist!


    Fortunately, the spiritual power didn’t kill him!


    But surrounded him like seawater.


    This made Faust Beaumont more excited!


    It was surely the Zodiac Lotus Shadow!


    "You saw my treasure; you must die because only the dead are safe." Gold Cicada squinted eyes, quickly darting out!


    "Attack!" Faust Beaumont shouted!


    He was bound by spiritual power, but surrounding disciples weren’t!


    Instantly!


    Hundreds descended from the sky!


    Isaak Ridge fired three shots!


    "Scoundrel! Despicable! Who are you!" Gold Cicada rolled instantly, disappearing from the spot.


    Leaving only one sentence!


    "This grudge will be avenged! I’ll kill your family!"


    The golden lotus remained floating in the air.


    Yet the power binding Faust Beaumont instantly vanished.


    He regained freedom.


    "Where’s the person?" Isaak Ridge asked surprisingly, "Master, how did this guy suddenly disappear!"


    "Absolute master, were it not for you around, I, master, would die at his hands today." Saying this, Faust Beaumont approached the golden lotus, gently touched it!


    But this golden lotus was not a tangible object!


    It was instead an illusory existence.


    Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that this golden lotus was just a shadow, with a seed inside.


    It appeared the lotus had grown from the seed!


    "Zodiac Lotus Shadow!"


    Faust Beaumont couldn’t help eximing.


    Searching high and low for something, only to find it unexpectedly!


    He held the golden lotus with both hands, looked upward, and shouted, "Ancestors of the Beaumont Family, bless me for obtaining this supreme treasure! In the future, no one in the martial arts world will be our Beaumont Family’s rival!"


    "Congrattions, Master!"


    Isaak Ridge and others knelt on the ground, eyes filled with greedy desire!


    This is indeed a treasure; whoever obtains it will be a peerless master.


    "You all keep alert, and assign a few to contact the family informing them of this joyful news." Faust Beaumont ordered, then sat cross-legged on the ground alone, carefully studying the Zodiac Lotus Shadow.


    His confidence surged, as if seeing the moment of revenge!


    But Faust Beaumont didn’t know that just at this moment, a faraway ultra-high-definition satellite camera captured this scene.


    And it swiftly spread throughout the martial arts world!


    The Zodiac Lotus Shadow was robbed by the Beaumont Family!


    The southeastern Jayceon Rose also saw this photo at the first instance.


    "Outrageous! Those Beaumont scumbags aren’t dead yet! Quickly assemble Jayceon Rose masters; I will massacre the Beaumont Family to reim what’s rightfully ours!"


    The Family Head mmed his desk.


    But just then, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Report! Former Family Head Jayceon Rose and an unknown man are visiting!"


    "
