My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 347 He's nothing special



Ethan could sense the mood in Blackwood Manor.

Jessica,having experienced the sting of love and used her beauty as a weapon,lowered her gaze.

Katie,though innocent in such matters,could still feel Neil's bitterness.

The two young women of Blackwood's third generation couldn't fathom why anyone,especially a woman,would resort to such tactics instead of relying on their own strength.

As for the Blackwood men...well,many were bachelors,but no one knew for sure if they indulged in such establishments.

Ethan had even heard rumors of a group of single Competent Force psychics from Azure Cloud frequenting the largest brothel in Cloudview County,each occupying separate rooms,awkwardly avoiding eye contact.

"Damn it,a real man should never prey on the vulnerable or force someone into this,"Thomas grumbled,running a hand through his messy hair.

"We should have just killed her instead of letting her use such tactics against us."

Jessica frowned.

"But sometimes,we have to admit,it's the most effective weapon.She has no psychic abilities,no ranking on the Pinnacle Apprentice leaderboard.This is the best she can do;otherwise,she wouldn't stand a chance against Blackwood."

Her words caused another wave of sighs.

Marcus turned to Joseph.

"My boy,is this Jonathan the head of the Evans family?"

"The Evans are a family of Competent Force psychics.I hear this Jonathan is their ancestor,having cultivated psychic powers for over a millennium."

Joseph said solemnly,"He's nothing special.But from what I can tell,he has no intention of fighting Blackwood over Neil.However,Neil was once a powerful figure,and people tend to obsess over what they couldn't have.Neil is determined to use Jonathan,and he's resourceful enough to do it."

"It seems like there will be more like him."

In the following days,the Blackwoods,confined to their manor,received a constant stream of intelligence through Neil.

Multiple factions had rapidly formed within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary,primarily because powerful psychics like Kyle,ranked twenty-third on the Pinnacle Apprentice leaderboard,Tom of Whispering Pines,ranked eighth,and Master Unquestioning of Bright Light Institute,ranked tenth,were aggressively seizing resources.

These factions were mostly formed by weaker Competent Force psychics who banded together for protection against these formidable individuals.

Surprisingly,Wild Monk of Grand Royal Temple,ranked nineteenth,was diligently traversing the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary,seemingly on a mission of mercy,intervening in battles and preventing bloodshed.

Whenever he encountered a conflict,he would subdue both sides without lethal force,leaving them frustrated and bewildered.

...

While chaos reigned within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary,outside,various forces grew increasingly anxious,unable to locate its whereabouts.

Chuck and the others,initially trapped outside the sanctuary,were relieved by this turn of events.

After expressing their gratitude to the Basic Mastery psychic guarding Sunshine Mansion,they hurried back to Azure Cloud.

"Master Nathan,please don't worry.We are closely monitoring the situation at Sunshine Mansion for any news of Marcus Blackwood's entry into the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary."

King Bryce of Phillips hurried to Blackwood Manor and reassured Nathan,"I have used my connections to inquire with several powerful factions,seeking a solution.Let us pray for your grandson's safe return from the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary."

"Thank you,Your Majesty,"Nathan replied gratefully.

As King Bryce departed,he couldn't help but sigh,a mixture of relief and worry.

Having held a position of power for so long,he was well aware of Blackwood's formidable influence,deeply rooted and intimidating.

Now,he was even more apprehensive.

Upon hearing of Marcus's predicament,he felt a flicker of malicious joy,a dangerous thought for someone in his position.

His worry stemmed from witnessing Nathan's despondency during his visit.

He feared that Marcus's entrapment in the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary would impact the war efforts in Azure Cloud.

"I can only hope that the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary will reopen,allowing Marcus to break through and return.Azure Cloud needs another powerful Competent Force.With the Sunshine Mansion psychics eliminated,the balance of power will shift in our favor."

After King Bryce's departure,Nathan remained in the Blackwood Manor hall,his face etched with worry.

Marcus wasn't the only one trapped within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.

Seeing her father's distress,Olivia offered a comforting smile.

"Father,don't worry too much.We have seven members of the third generation inside the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary,including Jessica,William,and Joseph.You know how they operate;they won't run into any serious trouble.Besides,the Forebearer assured us of their prudence.They even outmaneuvered the Parker family."

"Alas,"Nathan sighed,"all my capable children are trapped within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.How can I not worry?The sanctuary's closure was strange.You,with your mastery of fate,haven't sensed anything unusual,and the old tree,despite expending a great deal of its life force,couldn't divine anything either.I can't shake this feeling of unease."

Although the Forebearer had acquired numerous incredibly powerful secret techniques during his journey and bestowed them upon the family,Nathan couldn't bring himself to feel any joy.

"Father,you're overthinking it,"Olivia said with a gentle smile.

However,despite her cultivation in the Way of Fate,she couldn't shake off a similar feeling of unease.

She trusted her intuition,and her father's anxiety only strengthened her premonition.

Moreover,Jessica and Joseph's absence had significantly impacted Blackwood.

Olivia now had to oversee both the Azure Cloud army and the thousand-year plan against Sunshine Mansion.

The entrapment of Blackwood's third generation,the Magical Three Villains,had also weakened the family's strength,leaving many matters unresolved.

Just then,Amelia rushed in.

"Father,Olivia,have you seen Mary?I need some beast blood from her."

...

Crystal Crest,a majestic mountain.

Its peak was shrouded in tangible psychic energy,yet an eerie silence prevailed,broken only by the occasional sight of powerful beasts soaring above.

At the foot of the mountain,numerous psychics waited patiently,embarking on a"pilgrimage."

Crystal Crest was home to Advanced Mastery level psychics,and within its gates resided less than a hundred individuals,all of whom possessed Competent Force.

To gain the favor of Crystal Crest was to ascend to unimaginable heights.

On this day,a woman clad in armor arrived,her physique suggesting the agility of a black panther were it not for the heavy plating.

Her arrival was as imposing as her appearance,her voice booming across the mountainside.

"Mary of Azure Cloud,daughter-in-law of the Blackwood family's second generation,requests an audience with Elder Phil!I implore Elder Phil to locate the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary!"

Her thunderous voice startled the birds and drew frowns from the pilgrims gathered below.

Crystal Crest was a sacred ground.

Never before had they witnessed such audacity,such disrespect.

This woman,a wife from a family of uncivilized barbarians,dared to disturb the peace of this holy place.
