Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

139: Breakthrough and CrisisErlichandi was severely injured and barely escaped the pursuit of the Four Great Families. Although he didn’t completely annihilate the Four Great Families, he had avenged most of it—at least in his view, the main culprit was dead!

He dared not return to The Five of Koteski, fearing he would implicate them.

Over the years, he had shouldered the burden of revenge alone, believing it was his responsibility to face it all, as it all started because of him.

He was well aware of his magical talent, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people like Koteski and the others.

Even if they harbored deep hatred for the murderer and the mastermind behind it, they lacked the ability to seek revenge.

That’s why Erlichandi had been so resolute in dissuading them, taking on the heavy responsibility of revenge alone.

Meanwhile, the Elders of the Four Great Families were furious, their faces livid with rage.

They never expected that a Great Magician could nearly wipe out their entire Family!

Now, with the heirs all lost, how was this any different from annihilation?

’We must find that lowly commoner!’ one Elder roared. ’Investigate his relatives again! I want him to suffer, unable to live or die!’

’Yes... yes!’ the others replied, trembling with fear.

On the other side, just before losing consciousness, Erlichandi finally discovered a remote and narrow cave. Using his last ounce of strength, he struggled to crawl inside.

However, as soon as he entered, his consciousness vanished instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Fortunately, the entrance to this cave was very narrow, making it impossible for large animals to enter, and small animals seemed uninterested in the place, so it became a relatively safe refuge.

Otherwise, in this desolate wilderness, Erlichandi would likely have been devoured by ferocious beasts long ago.

Yet, even though this place was relatively safe, Erlichandi remained unconscious for a full three days, causing great anxiety for Koteski and the other four.

They endured each day as if it were a year, worrying daily about Erlichandi’s safety.

The first thing Erlichandi did upon waking, besides tending to his injuries, was to inform his village companions of his situation.

Then, he began Cultivating day and night, as if forgetting everything around him.

In this lonely cave, he had no one to accompany him, not even a pet.

Erlichandi’s eyes held only one goal—revenge and Cultivation.

Thus, time passed day by day, and a whole year slipped by unnoticed.

On this day, Erlichandi’s strength underwent a major Breakthrough.

After long efforts and perseverance, he was finally about to advance to the Realm of a Mage! Such talent could only be described as Prodigy.

To ensure this Breakthrough proceeded smoothly, Erlichandi deliberately sought out a desolate, uninhabited place, far from the noise and distractions of the world.

He also specifically sent a message to Koteski and the others, telling them not to worry about him.

Erlichandi resolutely embarked on his journey to Breakthrough his Realm, but at that very moment, The Five of Koteski encountered an unprecedented, immense crisis.

Assassins from the Four Great Families were ambushing them on the road they had to take home!

Over the past year, the Four Great Families had been tirelessly searching for Erlichandi’s whereabouts, but to no avail.

However, they unexpectedly discovered traces of The Five of Koteski, so they focused their attention tightly on these five, eagerly hoping Erlichandi would show up.

Yet, as time passed, the Elders of the Four Great Families began to hatch another plan.

They thought, since Erlichandi hadn’t appeared for so long, why not take this opportunity to kill The Five of Koteski?

This way, they could vent their anger and also plunge Erlichandi into a pit of despair and agony.

Thus, the Elders of the Four Great Families secretly plotted to mercilessly kill The Five of Koteski.

They planned to eliminate these five first, then deliberately leak the news that Koteski was in their hands to Erlichandi, forcing him to come personally to redeem them!

Then, they would force Erlichandi to kneel and beg for mercy, admit his mistakes, and finally cruelly reveal the truth to him.

This method of giving hope first, then pushing someone into the abyss of despair, brought the Elders of the Four Great Families immense pleasure and satisfaction.

Imagining Erlichandi’s pained expression upon learning the truth, they couldn’t help but laugh maniacally.

It was clear that, having lost their heirs and even most of the younger generation in their Family, the Elders of the Four Great Families had completely lost their sanity, becoming cold and ruthless.
