Chapter 1566: Urgent Request for Help
The person who spoke was a senior figure sent to Preston by the Neal family—an ancestral figure of the 50th generation!
Braydon Neal’s lineage respected their seniority, and this elder deserved their reverence.
The reason was clear: the aristocratic families and sects of the Spirit Sea ruled over its domains, distinct from the governance of Hansworth.
They didn’t interfere in national affairs or vie for control over the country’s destiny.
These were figures honored by both heaven and earth.
Since youth, Braydon harbored animosity toward these aristocratic families.
They encroached upon national power, causing harm to countless loyal soldiers of the Ludwig Army, including Frediano Jadanza.
In this world, hatred never arose without cause, especially without reason!
The old ancestor appeared in a white Daoist robe, his gentle countenance surveying Trevon Neal and Judith Neal with approval.
“Ancestor,” Braydon greeted softly.
“The family faces a crisis and requires your aid,” the ancestor said without ceremony.
“What’s happened?” Braydon inquired.
“Wolfhart and Jaromir clashed with elite members of the Stone family in the Spirit Sea. This provoked retaliation from the Stone family’s elder. Both were gravely injured, their cultivation impaired, and their dual-pupils nearly destroyed,” the ancestor explained succinctly.
Currently, the two bloodline families were embroiled in conflict, drawing in the Foreman family’s support for the Neal family.
The Siegel family had also become entangled, uniting the three families against the Stone family’s aggression.
Later, the Golden Dragon Pavilion joined the fray.
These were the foremost superpowers in the Spirit Sea.
The family war erupted, prompting the Neal family to summon Braydon back.
Recently, Demon Saint Island had been razed by a group of masked assailants.
The Neal family had received vague reports hinting that Braydon might be involved.
Braydon’s rapid growth had surpassed everyone’s expectations, prompting the Neal family to seek his assistance in the upcoming family war.
Braydon didn’t hesitate for a moment.
“The Stone family has a blood feud with the Neal family. Since war is upon us, we shall annihilate their entire family!”
The Stone family had long been marked as enemies by Braydon.
Martial artists worldwide knew of Braydon’s ruthlessness toward his adversaries.
With the Northern King’s ferocious intent, casualties would likely be substantial.
“There’s no time to waste. I’ll depart immediately,” Braydon declared.
“Dad!” Trevon’s eyes brimmed with eagerness, desiring to join the action in the Spirit Sea.
As for his eldest son, Braydon finally fulfilled his wish and brought Trevon back to the Spirit Sea.
No one could hinder their journey.
In the Neal family’s headquarters in the Spirit Sea.
Skylar Neal, concealed behind a ghost mask, and the two Neal brothers were all present.
The Neal family faced imminent peril.
As a Neal family member, Braydon had no reason to remain idle.
Within the grand hall, during the council meeting, the branch masters of the 72 branches had gathered.
Patriarch Kohen Neal, Spero Neal, and others were present.
Skylar glanced around and calmly inquired, “Patriarch, have you made contact with my brother?”
“I have. The old ancestor just sent word that Braydon is en route to the Spirit Sea. He should arrive today!”
As soon as Kohen finished speaking, Spero chuckled heartily.
“Great! With Braydon’s help, our Neal family won’t fear the Stone family, the Golden Dragon Pavilion, or any hidden forces!”
“Let’s not get complacent,” cautioned Kohen, mindful of his role as the family head.
“Not long ago, Demon Saint Island was destroyed by masked men. Many witnessed Braydon leading the attack,” someone mentioned.
The room buzzed with discussion.
Skylar and Sorrell Neal exchanged knowing glances but remained silent on their brother’s secret, per his instructions.
They knew the ten thousand beings were banished immortals, tribulation bodies from the Hundred TribulationsHeavenly Art.
Braydon himself wasn’t the leader, but rather a primordial chaos banished immortal.
Braydon had stressed secrecy about personal matters, especially the Hundred Tribulations Heavenly Art.
Fewer people knew, the better.
The Empress who created the art once shocked all races, especially the demon race, which fiercely competed with humans and wouldn’t tolerate another peerless figure from their rivals.
After a brief pause, Spero spoke up again. “Big Brother, the family war has raged for over three months. More than ten of our ancestors are gathered at the Land of Return. Let’s make preparations. Can we depart when Braydon arrives?”
“I heard this morning the Stone family sent a large contingent of experts,” added a branch master, their expression grave.
The Land of Return had become a battlefield where many experts clashed, intensifying the ongoing family war.
Skylar glanced outside and whispered, “My brother is here!”
“Hmm?” Kohen and the others were surprised.
They hadn’t sensed Braydon’s aura.
As expected, Braydon and his son entered the meeting hall.
Trevon obediently followed behind his father, keeping quiet.
“Braydon, is this child Trevon?” Spero smiled warmly. “He’s your eldest son, right?”
Skylar stepped forward.
“Uncle Skylar!” Trevon greeted softly.
In this generation of the Neal family men, Braydon was the eldest brother, followed by Skylar.
Trevon naturally addressed him as uncle.
Skylar’s eyes brimmed with affection. “Home must have been dull. It’s good to come to the Spirit Sea for training, isn’t it?”
“Yes!” Trevon’s face lit up with a smile.
Beside him, Sorrell also warmed to Trevon.
“Alright, Trevon, you go and settle down first,” Braydon instructed, ensuring his son wouldn’t be involved in the upcoming matters because of the ongoing family war.
Once Trevon had left, Kohen gently asked Braydon, “Braydon, you rushed over from home. Would you like a day to rest?”
“Patriarch, thank you, but I’d like to hear about the situation right away,” Braydon replied earnestly.
Braydon was eager to learn all about the family war.
Spero began explaining everything that had transpired over the past three months.
One of the pivotal locations in their discussion was the Land of Return.
It held a mysterious aura where any cultivator who entered would inevitably feel suppressed.
Despite this, it was also a place of immense opportunities.
The roots of two of the Spirit Sea’s top super forces lay in the treasures found within the Land of Return.
Periodically, rare treasures would manifest there, making it even more sought after than the Hall of Souls among many of the Spirit Sea’s geniuses.
Spero emphasized that the treasures found in the Land of Return surpassed those in the Hall of Souls due to its assortment of shocking forbidden techniques and extraordinarily powerful artifacts.
Regarding the recent conflict, Spero explained that Wolfhart Neal and Jaromir Neal had come across a super treasure—a flying palace—which held the potential for containing powerful inheritances and secret techniques capable of establishing a formidable force.
This treasure rightfully belonged to the Neal family, but it was seized by the Stone family, leading to a near-fatal encounter for the two Neal prodigies.
Compounded with the longstanding animosity between the two families, this incident sparked the Neal family’s fury, prompting them to initiate a full-scale family war.
