Chapter 2259
As he stood before the coffin, the Divine Holy Emperor conducted himself respectfully.
After he bowed, he came closer to the coffin and pushed open the coffin lid.
Quintina stood up abruptly and shouted, “What’re you doing? My father is already dead! What are you trying to do
to him?!”
The Divine Holy Emperor turned to Quintina and apologized, “Sorry for my indescretion. I simply could not bring
myself to believe it. The Ancient Clan’s leader is the strongest person in the Ancient Realm. I found it hard to
believe he died so easily, so I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.
After speaking, he turned to the person lying in the coffin.
Farley’s face was ashen and had no trace of color. There were no signs of life in his corpse-like body.
After sensing no energy from Farley, the Divine Holy Emperor sighed in relief. He turned to the Gideons gathered in
the main hall and apologized again. “I’m sorry for my disrespectful behavior.”
The Divine Holy Emperor slid the lid back on the coffin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThoryn stepped forward and said, “We understand. Please go back and rest for the time being. We’ll hold a
memorial service when other close friends of our family arrive.”
The Divine Holy Emperor departed immediately. He turned around and left with Harold.
Since it was the Gideons’ family matters, Yoan did not linger around for long either. He left with James back to their
momentary courtyard lodgings.
Inside the yard, Yoan sighed. “It’s a pity that generation’s strongest man died so miserably.
James said, “Perhaps it’s fate. No one can escape the machinations of fate after all.”
He promised Farley not to tell anyone, so he also kept their agreement a secret from Yoan.
Yoan said, “Since things have turned out this way, we have no choice but to wait for the Gideons to finish dealing
with Farley’s funeral.”
James nodded. “Mhm.”
The two continued to stay within the Ancient Clan’s territory.
Meanwhile, the passing of the Ancient Clan’s leader was announced to the world.
The news spread quickly throughout the Ancient Realm. Soon, many prominent figures of the Ancient Realm
showed up one after another.
Even Welkin Academy’s headmaster personally showed up to attend Farley’s memorial service.
Seven days passed since Farley’s death.
The Ancient Clan’s close friends from throughout the Ancient Realm had gathered for the past seven days.
All the renowned powerhouses were present.
Farley’s memorial service would be held the next day.
At night, the Ancient Clan’s territory was brightly lit.
A masked man quietly waited in the forest outside the Ancient Clan’s perimeter. Suddenly, a gust of wind whipped
up the air.
A few people in black robes and black masks appeared.
“How’re things going, Holy Emperor?”
A voice croaked out the question.
“I’ve confirmed Farley’s death. All of the powerhouses of our realm are gathered in the Ancient Clan’s territory. It’s
the perfect opportunity to destroy them at once.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My people are on standby. Tomorrow morning, we shall launch an attack on the Ancient Clan.”
After the brief conversation, the men in black left.
Then, the masked man took off his disguise. It was none other than Divinity Sect’s leader, the Divine Holy Emperor.
He was also one of the most powerful people in the Ancient Realm.
A sly smile formed on the Divine Holy Emperor’s face.
He materialized powerful True Energy in his palm and destroyed the mask in his hand. Then, he stepped back into
the Ancient Clan’s territory.
James did not sleep throughout the night.
He was not informed of the specifics of Farley’s plan.
However, Farley did mention that the Divinity Sect once conspired with the Fangs from the Demon Race.
“Will something happen tomorrow?”
James had a strong feeling that something would happen in the Ancient Clan the next day.
“What’re you doing, James?” Yoan’s voice called out to him.
James came back to his senses and replied, “N-Nothing.” “You look worried. I can tell there’s something on your
mind.”
