Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Silver Spear Flying Dragon_1
The core of the formation immediately flashed a red light.
Greg Jensen’s heart filled with joy, knowing that the formation base was complete. He quickly stood up and set up a simple Warning Formation at the entrance of his bedroom.
“Carmen, come to my room for a moment.”
“Oh, okay…okay.”
Carmen Stuart was watching TV in the living room when she heard the voice from upstairs, and her face couldn’t help but flush.
Greg rarely allowed her into his room to avoid any impropriety, especially after dark. What was happening today?
Could it be…
Carmen’s heart uncontrollably picked up its pace.
She slowly got up, took a deep breath, and went to the bedroom door. Just as she was about to knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Greg came out.
“It’s okay, no worries, thank you.”
“Huh?”
Carmen was taken aback, thinking how this was different from what she had in mind?
Greg asked, “Is there something else you need?”
“Ah, no…nothing…”
“Hmm.”
Bang!
Greg’s door closed again.
Looking at the tightly shut room door, Carmen felt a wave of disappointment and turned to head back downstairs.
Inside the master bedroom, Greg returned to his desk with a face full of joy and picked up the Engraving knife to continue working on the formation base.
Just now, when Carmen entered the range of the Warning Formation, Greg immediately felt a palpitation, and everything within the formation at that moment was projected into his heart.
“The methods of immortals are truly extraordinary.”
Greg mused to himself, though his hands did not cease their work. As he moved his hands, fragments of Jade Stone fluttered down to the ground.
…
At the Duncan Family.
“This Barry Wolfe, he’s gone too far!”
“Now we’re in trouble, Healington will definitely cause us problems.”
The death of Curtis Milton caused an uproar in the local area, and when the members of the Duncan Family learned of it, they were filled with indignation, wishing they could slaughter Barry Wolfe right then and there.
“Dad, what do you think we should do about this?”
George Duncan looked towards Larry Duncan, who frowned and did not speak. Understanding his stance, the others kept quiet.
After a really long while, Larry Duncan finally said, “Kill him.”
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, George couldn’t help but be shocked.
No matter what, Barry Wolfe was a powerhouse in the Master Realm. To kill him, they would have to summon the age-old patriarch of the Duncan Family.
The patriarch was the foundation of the Duncan Family, and with each summoning, his lifespan would decrease more quickly.
In other words, their foundation would be weakened with each use.
“Dad, is it worth it?” George asked.
Larry glanced at him and said, “This morning, I got a call from the northwest. The deal with the West River Oil Field is off.”
“Off?”
George’s expression changed again, for the West River Oil Field, being close to the Duncan Family, had the most interests tied to it for the family.
And these interests had been obtained by the Duncan Family in exchange for other benefits.
Similarly, if the deal with the West River Oil Field fell through, the Duncan Family would be the most heavily affected.
George understood his father’s meaning. Only by killing Barry Wolfe would the northwest side consider compromising again, and on top of that, considering the incident with Curtis Milton, summoning the age-old patriarch seemed to be worth it.
Seeing that Larry had made a decision, the other members of the Duncan Family did not object.
Larry instructed, “Go find a few men to scout out Barry’s residence, to see if there are any spies or anything of that sort. We’ll make our move at midnight.”
“Understood, Father.”
George didn’t dare delay and quickly went out to make the calls.
After a while, George Duncan returned with Larry Duncan to the ancestral hall in the back courtyard.
Both of them first offered incense to their forefathers and simultaneously bowed deeply toward the small door at the back.
“We respectfully implore our great ancestor to descend from the mountain and slay the invading enemy for our Duncan Family!”
The ancestral hall was quiet, as if still echoing their voices, and with no movement inside, they did not dare to rise, slightly bowing their bodies.
Maintaining such a half-bent posture was extremely uncomfortable, they couldn’t quite bend further, nor did they dare to straighten up; not long after, Larry Duncan began to feel overwhelmed.
It was then that a voice, deep and resonant like a tolling bell, suddenly rang out: “Rise!”
The voice echoed back and forth within the hall, making their blood surge and their hearts almost leap out of their chests.
The next second, a gaunt figure holding a broom emerged from within.
As he swept the floor, he asked without looking up, “What’s happened, tell me.”
“Well, it’s like this…”
Larry Duncan did not dare to delay and quickly recounted the whole situation.
Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly looked up with a displeased expression, saying coldly, “Such a trifle, and you summoned me for this?”
George Duncan quickly replied, “Great ancestor, the enemy is quite troublesome and has affected our family’s development.”
“Save your words, useless! For decades you haven’t found a single person with exceptional talent, what are you if not worthless?”
“Yes, uncle is correct.”
Facing the old man’s rebuke, Larry Duncan, the Family Head, dared not retort and could only agreeingly reply.
“You may go for now, I will join you after sweeping this area,” the elder stated.
“Understood.”
Larry Duncan quickly grabbed his son and then hurriedly walked outside.
Once outside, George Duncan came to his senses, astonished he asked, “Dad, which ancestor was that?”
“Silver Spear Flying Dragon!”
“Timothy Duncan?”
Larry Duncan’s face changed, and he scolded in a low voice, “Insolence! How dare you address the great ancestor by his full name, are you seeking death?”
George Duncan immediately broke into a cold sweat, shivering as he thought of that ancestor’s storied past, quickly responding:
“Dad, I didn’t mean to, I just… can hardly believe it.”
It was said that with his Silver Spear, Timothy Duncan was as fast as a dragon and lightning, so swift he could even break the sound barrier.
That Silver Spear had bested countless opponents before finally being defeated by Walter Locke, after which he led a secluded life.
But that wasn’t all, they had heard the great ancestor had a fiery temper, prone to killing at the slightest provocation.
In the past, many members of the Duncan Family had suffered under his hand.
Of course, George Duncan’s generation was an exception; they hadn’t experienced the grandiose era of the great ancestor.
When the two returned to the living room and shared the news that the great ancestor was about to make an appearance, the Duncans were all invigorated, like chickens injected with blood.
In the excitement, Larry Duncan drove everyone else out, leaving only himself and his son in the living room.
After waiting for a long time, footsteps approached, and Timothy Duncan emerged, holding an item wrapped in black cloth that was long and narrow.
Clang!
Upon placing the object down, it sounded like metal striking metal.
Bright Silver Spear!
Father and son exchanged glances, both revealing an expression of curiosity.
Timothy Duncan scoffed and said, “As long as someone among you reaches the Master Realm, I will bestow this upon them.”
Startled, George Duncan asked with a face full of joy, “Is what the great ancestor says true?”
“Of course it’s true. Why would I joke about this with you?”
Timothy Duncan looked at him disdainfully, speaking indifferently, “Don’t flatter yourself with vain hopes. Your talent is average, and your bones have already set.
You can aspire to the Grandmaster level at most. Forget about reaching the Master Realm.”
“This… Thank you for the reminder, great ancestor.”
Just then, sounds of something cleaving through the air suddenly came from outside.
At first, the sound seemed extremely distant, but within a few seconds, it had already approached close by.
What do you think?
