Chapter 213: The position of the head of the family
A translucent cube of light stood in the midst of a huge magic array, and Dia lay curled up at the bottom of the mask with her eyes closed.
Xius, Ares, and Gotai sat on the edge of the magic circle in a regular triangle, and in the dark environment, most of the faces of the three of them were hidden in the shadows, and they couldn't really see it.
Hughes held a green bottle in his left hand and a black magic ball in his right, Gotai held a vial of dragon blood and several palm-sized crimson dragon scales in his hand, and Ares had a tawny cane stalk lying horizontally on his leg.
The expression on Ares' face was very indifferent, but in the depths of Ares's eyes, he could still easily capture the deep pain.
Oka is the eldest son of Ares, and he is also Ares' favorite son, although Ares always gives people an indifferent look, but Ares is not a stone, he does have feelings. For the sake of such a thing, Oka actually lost his life, which was the last thing Ares wanted to see.
Originally, Ares thought that there were a few eighth-order demons around Oka who could completely protect Ares' safety, but the fact is that now only Horn has returned to the Infinite Death Domain safely. Although the task was completed, such a price was still too heavy for Ares.
Horn, who has the lowest strength, has returned safely, and there has been a breakthrough, if it weren't for the relationship between Horn and Okka, Ares would definitely think that Horn devoured Okka.
Ares looked at Hughes lightly, in fact, strictly speaking, Cher's task was the most difficult to complete, but Cher came back intact. Although Rare was half a month later than Cher, when he came back, he was not only unharmed, but his cultivation had also improved, and his strength had reached the eighth order.
If it weren't for Horn saying that Oka had an accident when he obtained the Death Sea Buckthorn, Ares might have fallen out with Hughes and Gotai directly, after all, the death of the family heir is not a small matter.
Although Xiao Ya's strength is good and he is ruthless enough, Ares knows that Xiao Ya has no tolerance for people, and if Xiao Ya is in charge of the Ares family, I am afraid that the first thing Xiao Ya will do is to eradicate dissidents.
In fact, this is what every head of the family must do before taking office, but now the situation is different, "he" may return at any time, and a little loss may cause irreparable consequences, although Ares's other sons also have a few outstanding, but their power is not as good as Xiao Ya, if they are appointed, Xiao Ya will definitely not accept it, and when the time comes, it will inevitably cause a civil war in the Ares family, and no matter who wins or loses, the Ares family will definitely be greatly injured.
In fact, with Ares' age and physical condition, there is no need to worry about the heir now, but for some reason, Ares is still deeply worried, and the feeling is as if Ares may die at any time.
Ares has reached the Holy Stage, so his perception of danger is also particularly keen, Ares can feel that there is a huge shadow slowly enveloping him, and Ares has no way to escape.
No matter how much Ares likes to enjoy, but in his bones, he is still a demon, although the cultivation of the Ares Holy Rank is not easy to come by, but he is not afraid of death. What really worries Ares is that Ares, who has been in business for tens of thousands of years, is destroyed in his own hands, and Ares is unwilling to bear such a crime, let alone can't bear it, so Ares is so worried.
If it's okay in normal times, even if the new head of the family has just come to power and gives the family a big change, even if the new head of the family is not the best, but the Ares family has a deep foundation there, and the Ares family will not have any major incidents, but now a huge crisis is brewing above the heads of the three major families, and if you are not careful, not only the Ares family, but even the Xiusi family and the Gotai family will inevitably be implicated.
Although the three major families usually don't deal with each other, after all, they are still in the same boat, especially when facing "him", no one can run.
Xiusi said lightly: "As long as he casts the 'Sealing God', a wisp of his soul will sleep forever, even if he really comes back, his strength will definitely not be as good as before, we don't have to worry too much." ”
Godey said coldly, "Without further ado, let's get started." ”
"Wait. Ares interrupted Gotai and fell silent.
After not speaking for a long time, Gotai said coldly, "Ares, the three of our heirs have all gone out on a mission, and they have all experienced the same danger, and Oka is dead...... Gotai paused, and then said: "That's Oka is unlucky, do you still want to settle accounts with us?"
Ares' beautiful face is hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see Ares' face.
Seeing that Ares still didn't speak, Theseus said lightly: "Ares, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"You didn't send someone to kill Oka , so I, Ares, naturally won't pursue it. After a pause, Ares said, "How many years have our demons been breeding?"
Both Hughes and Gotai were slightly stunned, not understanding what Ares was talking about.
"Actually, even we can't figure it out ourselves. With an incomprehensible smile on his face, Ares said: "No matter what the environment, our demon clan always has a way to survive, the three major families have ruled the demon clan for too many years, if it is destroyed in our hands." Ares smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid none of us can afford it, right?"
Xius and Gotai both changed color slightly, Ares's words were definitely not alarmist, in fact, what Xius just said was just the best result, once "he" broke out of the seal, the first thing would definitely be to recover his strength first, and when his strength reached its peak, it would be easy to gather a group of demons again, and at that time, the three major families might soon fall apart.
The existence of "he" is almost mythical.
Gotai said coldly: "Ares, what do you mean?"
Ares' eyes were calm, without joy or anger, and said, "The three major families must unite now in order to win a little bit of life for us. ”
Godey and Theseus' faces were gloomy, but it was undeniable that Ares was right.
Xiusi said in a deep voice: "Of course, the three of us are standing together, and no one can escape from each other in this matter. Gotai nodded as well.
With a lazy smile on his face, Ares said, "I know that time is running out, and the future of the Ares family may depend on the care of the two of them." ”
Hus and Gotai frowned at the same time, although Ares and Theus had mentioned this matter, but to be honest, Hus didn't care much, and now Ares actually said such a thing in front of himself and Gotai, which means that Ares may really be in big trouble.
Gotai said coldly: "What did you say?"
Ares smiled faintly and said, "If I die, the Ares family will inevitably fall into a struggle for power." Ares paused, and then said: "In the past, there was Oka on top, and nothing big would happen, but now ......" Ares's tone was flat, not at all like talking about the life and death of his son.
Ares glanced at Theseus and Gotai, and said: "The situation of the Ares family must be clear to you, Xiao Ya is not enough to achieve great things, especially in this situation, if Xiao Ya is unwilling to work together with you, our strength will definitely be lost, and such a price is something we can't afford." Ares's blood-red eyes were extremely calm, clearly analyzing the current situation.
Theseus frowned and said, "Then ...... you mean?"
Ares smiled faintly and said, "Horn's strength has reached the eighth order, and we all know how big the gap between the seventh and eighth orders is, and how difficult it is to advance. And Horn is going to get the death sea buckthorn, there is absolutely no chance of any adventures, even if Horn breaks through in battle, his talent should not be underestimated. ”
Riel will advance to the eighth order, most likely it may have drunk the dragon blood of the Holy Rank Divine Dragon, and may even directly absorb the magic crystal of the Holy Rank Divine Dragon, but Horn will not get such treatment at all.
Although Hughes and Gotai both frowned, Ares continued: "I intend to make Horn the next head of the Ares family, but Horn does not have his own power, even if he can fully control Okka's connections, he may not be Shawa's opponent, so ......" Ares looked at Theseus and Gotai with burning eyes, and said: "When necessary, I hope you can help Horn secure the position of the head of the family." ”
