Chapter 218: Everyone Has a Part
Then, the remaining few pieces increased the aptitudes of the other 17th generation members, including Lily.
Four days later, Ron returned to the Nicholas family clan without a sound. When he appeared again, many people thought that he had finished his seclusion.
It was not until Norton had gathered a group of the core members of the family and let Ron explain what had happened that Zoro and the others finally learned the truth.
It turned out that in the past ten days, Ron had charged into the Mu Guang Pavilion alone!
Moreover, the Mu Guang Pavilion had already been exterminated by the Old Ancestor who had manifested and intervened to destroy it personally! After recovering from the shock, everyone was excited. The Mu Guang Pavilion was indeed a huge threat. Now that this threat was gone, everyone was relieved.!!
On the day Ron returned home, Romo used the Hundredfold Cultivation Halo Talisman in his inventory! The next hundred days would be the cheat cultivation time for the entire clan!!
[Hundredfold Cultivation Halo Talisman: Enhance the family clan’s magic formation. Members of the family clan in the magic formation will receive an additional enhancement of hundredfold cultivation efficiency. This effect will last for 100 days.]
The effect of this tool was enhanced on top of the family clan’s magic formation, and it would not conflict with other enhancement effects!
In other words, after using this tool, all the clansmen within the range of the family clan’s magic formation, in addition to being able to enjoy the 100-fold cultivation enhancement from this tool, still had the original 30-fold cultivation enhancement from the family clan’s magic formation. It was a total of 130-fold!
This effect would last for a hundred days. In other words, the clansmen cultivating at home for a hundred days was equivalent to cultivating for 13,000 days, which was 35 years!!
It was truly a cheat cultivation for the entire clan!! Moreover, this was only the halo effect’s enhancement. On top of this, Romo could still give something for his descendants to use.
The Tenfold Cultivation Speed Talisman or even a Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talisman!
The effective period for a Tenfold Cultivation Speed Talisman was one month, which was equivalent to an additional 200 plus days of cultivation. The effective period for a Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talisman was ten days, which was equivalent to an additional two years of cultivation!
Romo currently had 30 Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talismans and 100 Tenfold Cultivation Speed Talismans in his inventory. These were not trivial resources, especially the former. Although they could not be equally distributed, he could concentrate on nurturing a few people and get obvious results!
That night, he used the Hundredfold Cultivation Halo Talismans. Romo gave Ron, who had just returned home, a dream and instructed the Nicholas family clan on the cultivation plan for the next hundred days.
In fact, he had previously given instructions in this aspect, so the Nicholas family clan had long been prepared. Over the past few days, everything had been arranged in the family clan. Even the family business had been temporarily handed over to trusted people to manage.
Hence, from the next day onwards, in the eyes of outsiders, everyone in the Nicholas family clan became even more strange. Previously, they rarely appeared, but after this day, the Nicholas family members almost never appeared outside.
When some people discovered this situation, they even started to mock them. They said that the Nicholas family clan was afraid that the Mu Guang Pavilion would take revenge, and that the entire family clan had become cowardly turtles.
There were even people who said that the Nicholas family had actually quietly moved away. However, this speculation was not likely. Although the Nicholas family had not shown their faces, the servants in the residence were still active. For example, the daily living expenses such as food were still as usual.
In addition, although the servants of the Nicholas family clan rarely talked about their masters, as long as they had contact with the outside world, there would always be traces of information leaked. This allowed the outsiders to eventually know that everyone in the Nicholas family clan was cultivating!
The entire Nicholas family clan was working hard at cultivation. News of this had already spread. Previously, the onlookers were at most surprised, but now, it had become so exaggerated as if the entire family clan was in seclusion. This made everyone feel a little baffled.
Wasn’t this a little fanatic?!
This situation made those who had mocked the Nicholas family clan feel that they had guessed correctly. They said that the Nicholas family clan was afraid and wanted to cultivate to protect themselves at the last minute. It was simply laughable. They said that they would have to hide at home forever, and not come out, as they might be assassinated by Mu Guang Pavilion’s assassins the moment they left.
Some also said that the Nicholas family clan had only withdrawn temporarily to protect themselves. Once the Mu Guang Pavilion was dealt with by the Imperial Court and the Misty Moon Sect, they would not have to be afraid.
After all, everyone knew that the Imperial Court and the Misty Moon Sect had been working together to investigate the matter of hunting down the Magi from the Mu Guang Pavilion.
However, everyone knew that the Mu Guang Pavilion had existed for more than a thousand years. How could it be exterminated so easily? At most, they would remain dormant for a period of time. Since they had targeted them, the days ahead for the Nicholas family clan would probably not be easy.
Faced with all kinds of rumors, speculations, and even mockery from the outside world, the Nicholas family clan remained unusually calm. All the clansmen seemed to be really cultivating in seclusion. None of them appeared. Even the few children who would play wildy in the city every few days had disappeared.
As more and more people were beginning to laugh at the Nicholas family, an unexpected news shocked many.
Nothing happened to the Nicholas family clan, but something big had happened to Mu Guang Pavilion!
It was said that many of the secret strongholds of the Mu Guang Pavilion all over the world had been destroyed!
It was not just the Imperial Court and the Misty Moon Sect that had intervened, but also the factions that had feuds with the Mu Guang Pavilion.
It seemed that a mysterious person had exposed the locations of the strongholds where those from the Mu Guang Pavilion gathered and detailed information about many of their assassins!
In less than a month, nearly ten secret strongholds of the Mu Guang Pavilion had been annihilated, and more than a hundred of the Mu Guang Pavilion assassins had been killed!!
Even so, the Pavilion Masters of the Mu Guang Pavilion still did not appear, and there was no movement from the upper echelons!
Many people started to sense that something was amiss. There were rumors that the upper echelons of the Mu Guang Pavilion had actually all been killed. There were even rumors that the nest of the Mu Guang Pavilion had been destroyed, and that the Pavilion Masters had all died.
Although these wild guesses sounded unbelievable, there were still some who thought that it was possible.
Many people started to guess who the mysterious expert who had exterminated the Mu Guang Pavilion’s nest was, and some even guessed that it was the Nicholas family clan.
Someone had linked this matter to the mysterious expert who had killed the eight Magi of the four large family clans in Holy Light City and blew up the ancestral graves of the four family clans. This person was said to be the backer of the Nicholas family clan.
This was because the four large family clans of the Holy Light City had something in common with the Mu Guang Pavilion. They had… offended the Nicholas family!!
The imagination of the bystanders was very strong. Various versions of rumors emerged endlessly. Some even said that the recent abnormal behavior of the Nicholas family clan was related to this.
