As the Grand Elder’s terrifying divine power suppressed them, the illusion shattered in an instant, as if it was about to collapse at any moment. The laws of the Dominator Realm engulfed everything, and the attacked Complete King Seat was in extreme agony.

“If you dare kill me, my family leader will never let you go. Grand Elder, I hope you consider this carefully— the deterrence power of the first family in a territory can even topple the entire territory.”

At these words, the Grand Elder’s face turned even colder. In a fit of rage, he directly annihilated the opponent, and the laws directly pierced their body. Their body turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished between heaven and earth.

Initially, the Grand Elder only wanted to teach his opponent a lesson for trying to kill his son. However, since they belonged to the First Family, and he wanted to scheme for the Lord’s position, he would have to join hands with this opponent. If the opponent cooperated with the Lord, his own faction’s position would be in jeopardy.

Yet, since they dared to threaten him, the Grand Elder no longer wanted to consider all these consequences. Their only fate was death. Even if the opponent’s family left the territory in anger, it was the Lord who should worry about it; he was just a Grand Elder, and his time to be in control had not come yet.

Cloud upon the Sea frowned, looking at the Grand Elder. “Father, killing a Complete King Seat, who is just one step away from becoming a Dominator, so easily may cause unnecessary trouble.”

“No harm done. After all, they haven’t taken that step. Besides, I am the first person under the Lord. The other family’s leader also has to weigh carefully whether they should fight a battle of life and death with me for the sake of an insignificant person.”

In this territory, there are only three Dominators in the entire kingdom: the leader of the First Family, the lofty Lord, and himself, the Grand Elder.

The Lord was the first to break through the Dominator Realm, so he inherited the Lord’s position. He was fifty years late, so he could only take the position of the Grand Elder. However, he had grown tired of this position—he was already a Dominator, so why couldn’t he also be a Lord for once?

Cloud upon the Sea was still worried, feeling that something big was about to happen. “Father, this King Seat was the guardian of the young master of the opponent’s family. It is said that the young master has been killed by Logan, and now we have killed this King Seat. Are we not falling into Logan’s trap?”

He meant very clearly that once this matter spreads, outsiders would definitely think that Logan was their ally. They would even assume that Logan, a mere Mythical Realm cultivator, could only dare to act under the Grand Elder’s instructions. But if the other family leader became enraged and wanted to fight them to the death, what would they do?

Ordinary matters must weigh the pros and cons, but the death of a young family master meant that the family lost its future. Moreover, the wrath of a father should not be underestimated, as no one could truly measure it.

“I too am a Dominator and have been hiding in the shadows all these years; others still believe I am a Half-step Saint Realm only. If the First Family dares to trouble me, I believe even the Lord will have to intervene.”

Outsiders thought he was a Half-step Dominator, unable to be compared with the Lord. However, this was simply him hiding his true strength. In fact, he had broken through to the Dominator Realm long ago.

He had been hiding his realm because there had always been rumors that behind the Lord, there was a Sanctuary Powerhouse providing support, which he couldn’t confirm. So he could only quietly accumulate strength and investigate this fact to determine his next steps.

If there really was a Sanctuary Powerhouse, then he naturally couldn’t covet the position of Lord, and the best outcome would be to leave and establish a territory with his own hands. Conversely, if all of this was but rumors, then he would have to wield his knife against the Lord to take back what belonged to him.

In any case, if the Lord didn’t help and he fought against the First Family, the entire territory would be gone, which the Lord wouldn’t want to see. He would surely want to create peace and stability.

The Grand Elder’s tone changed, and he continued, “In fact, I have two purposes for coming here this time. The first is, of course, to help you and Logan to kill our opponents. The second is to seize the opportunity of the Sanctuary Powerhouse.”

“Once I have it, I will be the first person under the Sanctuary realm. At that time, even the Lord won’t be able to do anything to me. Will he still feel secure in his position? When I become the Lord, you will be the next heir.”

After the Grand Elder finished speaking, Cloud upon the Sea became extremely excited. After all, he had long harbored deep hatred for the Lord. But to gain the Sanctuary Powerhouse’s chance wouldn’t be an easy task.

Just considering this Ancient Road Illusion, every day hundreds or even thousands of people come, but how many actually get a chance? Even seizing a bit of divine energy from a divine weapon is difficult, let alone gaining what the Sanctuary Powerhouse left behind. This not only tests a person’s strength but also requires their approval.

However, the Grand Elder exuded self-confidence as he said, “You don’t need to worry about all that. Just follow me, and I will have a divine power to get the chance. Aside from you, my child, I can’t trust anyone else.”

Logan, hiding in the shadows, naturally heard everything. So he decided to secretly follow the Grand Elder to see what they were plotting. Could they really get the opportunity left behind by the Sanctuary Powerhouse? Even if his opponent was a Dominator, he would still try to seize the chance after them.

As a Dominator, the Grand Elder could travel a hundred meters in a single step. His figure soon disappeared before Logan’s eyes. However, Logan was no pushover. Using his divine power, he silently and stealthily followed them.

After some time, the group arrived at a marsh. A divine beast was resting on the other side of the marsh, and behind it, there was a cave. The cave was hidden beneath a pile of weeds, and if one didn’t look closely, it was very difficult to notice. Moreover, no one would dare provoke the divine beast.

From the aura emanating from Dandan, it was enough to warn anyone that this divine beast must be at least in the Dominator Realm, and its strength would be much greater than that of an ordinary Dominator because it had long been living in an Illusion with a complete system of heaven and earth laws. Clearly, it was possible that this divine beast was left behind by the Sanctuary Powerhouse.

“This is a Guardian Beast, and the cave behind it is the Saint Throne Tomb. All opportunities are inside. Under normal circumstances, unless another Sanctuary Powerhouse comes, or several hundred Dominators join forces together, it would be nothing more than a fool’s dream to get the chance while bypassing the divine beast.”

As the Grand Elder explained this, Cloud upon the Sea became more surprised and confused. If what his father said was true, then what use would finding this place be? After all, his father was only one person and certainly not an opponent for the divine beast.

“Usually, it would not work. However, I happened to obtain an elixir that can temporarily increase a person’s strength tenfold. Most importantly, even Dominators can use it. What do you think if I take it?”

When the Grand Elder reached the critical point, as long as he had the elixir in hand, his strength could forcefully rise to a Half-step Saint Realm and easily capture the mere divine beast of the Dominator Realm.
