Chapter 296: Hyeran Clan

The Hyeran Clan didn't fail to notice that something had isolated them from the outside.

"The communications with the outside have been cut completely!"

A man who was in charge of sending news to the members of the True Empire residing outside the Hyeran Clan shouted while fearing that danger was nearing the Hyeran Clan.

"Same here, it is impossible to contact the others."

The other man who spoke was able to remain calm, but he also knew that being unable to communicate with the outside meant bad news for them.

After all, anyone who could isolate them completely despite all their preparations was someone who could wipe them out in a second. Of course, they didn't believe that the True Empire would lose as they also had their hidden experts, but they feared their own deaths because for those hidden experts and for their enemy their lives were worthless.

It was just because of the fearsome communication network of the True Empire that starting the plan at the same time was so important for the Revgen Empire. Of course, even with their incredible communication network, they could only cover the Revgen Empire, covering the whole continent was impossible without alerting others.

"Who is the one provoking problems to my clan?"

An old man appeared in the sky after he was notified of the cut off from the outside. That man was the official clan head of the Hyeran Clan and was at the 9-star Sage Rank, but for Liye, that man was only a pawn of those hidden experts of the True Empire.

"The Hyeran Clan is guilty of high treason to the Revgen Empire, or maybe I should say True Empire instead of Hyeran Clan?"

The old man's face changed after hearing Liye's mighty voice. If the one attacking had only discovered that some member was guilty of something, they could just discard that member to avoid distributions on the plan, but he had never thought that the fact the Hyeran Clan was behind the True Empire would have been discovered.

"I don't know who you are, but our clan did nothing wrong."

The old man spoke honestly as he didn't feel that enslaving everyone and wanting to govern the whole continent was something wrong.

"I can read your mind like an open book; you truly didn't feel that you did something wrong despite all your wicked actions, you truly deserve to be punished."

The old man's face turned even worse, he didn't know what kind of monster had appeared, but he wanted to win some time until the hidden experts of the True Empire appeared.

"If you kill me, all the kids in our secret chamber will die instantly in agonizing pain. Do you feel that you are a man of justice? Killing me is equal to killing all those kids, even the World Laws will punish you if you kill me knowing that."

Although the World Laws would also punish the clan head, since he would be already dead, he didn't fear it.

"The World Laws didn't have any effect on me. This world was a present my father gifted to me when I was born; the World Laws can't harm me."

The old man was shocked after hearing Liye's words. The most feared individual by the members of the True Empire was Revgen, the Emperor of the Revgen Empire. They had never heard of any son of the World Creator. In fact, only those hidden experts knew about Liye's existence, but they confirmed that Liye died, so they didn't bother to spoke about him to the others.

"Even without the harm of the World Laws, you will kill all those kids if you kill me!"

Liye stared to the old man coldly.

"I don't know why you think that I am a man of justice because I am not. However, killing the True Empire would benefit the whole world, a bit of collateral damage is tolerable."

Liye wasn't a hypocrite who wanted to save everyone in the world. Although he didn't wish any harm for those kids, the plan to eradicate the True Empire was far more important.

Moreover, he knew that Revgen agreed to an unofficial mission to rescue them in charge of some volunteers, so the fact that they would die wasn't something sure. If the rescue group finished their job well, no one would die, but if they failed, there wouldn't be any blame on them as that wasn't a vital part of the plan and failure wouldn't affect the big picture.

"You…"

The old man was scared to death at that moment as he understood that the man in front of him was determined to eradicate the True Empire at any cost.

"Just die and go to the Devouring Beast World, you will live only to be eaten by the beasts until your conscience disappears, and you became a consciousness body reincarnated eternally to become an eternal meal for those beasts."

The Devouring Beast World was in the same dimension as the Purgatory World and was the second most cruel one.

"Stop!"

A loud shout appeared from seemingly nowhere, but Liye didn't stop, and the old man fell into the dimension crack.

"I told you to stop!"

A tall and bulky man appeared in front of Liye, the aura of that man showed that he was a Law Master.

"Why should I hear the orders of a minion like you? Do you want to accompany him to the Devouring Beast World?"

Sending a Law Master there was far more difficult, but it wasn't impossible.

"Not under our watch."

Another voice spoke, and some more figures appeared in front of Liye. There were another five Law Masters, but more important, there were three Law Gods.

"I heard that you died, but it seems that those were fake news."

The man who said that was the leader of the True Empire, a reincarnation of one of the invaders who had died before Liye killed all the survivors and put an end for the war. Of course, that man was also the founder of the Hyeran Clan and all the others were his descendants.

"Disappointing."

Liye shook his head while saying that single word after seeing through the strength of all his opponents.

"Don't look down on us!"

All of them were enraged after hearing the word said by Liye, but there wasn't any reply from Liye as he just smiled as he thought.

"Initially, those men were the ones who would have killed Yale provoking Origin link to trigger. However, they still have no chance to win toward me."

Going a bit back in the time, when Liye just appeared in the Hyeran Clan headquarters, Hyrk just opened the hidden chamber where more than ten thousand kidnaped kids were locked up.

"They are too many! How are we supposed to go back with so many kids?"

Everyone saw the chamber when Hyrk opened it, and the sight of inside shocked them all. Even Hyrk only knew that the kidnapped kids were there, he didn't know how many they were.

"First, let's get them all out of there, at least they wouldn't be in risk of dying by the poison."

Everyone nodded to Durgan's suggestion, regardless of what to do afterward, at least the kids needed to exit from that room.

The kids started to leave the room as fast as they can, but they have barely seen the sunlight in the last months and had been treated like beats having some beast food thrown at them for those who opened the hidden door making that they couldn't walk too fast, so the rescue group was also helping them. The True Empire wanted to break their minds completely to make them easier to control.

"Everyone, we should separate. Each one shall pick some kids and start going towards the teleportation points. Having such a big group will make us too easy to discover. Elder, you and Birgh could wait until the end and go together with more kids than the rest, giving elder's power, that should be a burden."

Hyrk's suggestion was reasonable, and no one rejected it, so the group started to disperse as they took some kids with them. Of course, they were taking different routes to go to different portals.

Although they weren't without risk of being attacked after separating, they couldn't move all together with more than ten thousand kids, so everyone just wished to have enough luck.

The members of the rescue group started to diminish and only, Durgan, Hyrk, Birgh and the elder were still there.

"Durgan, you shall go now. I need to close the hidden chamber when all the kids are out to avoid the poison from spreading once it is triggered."

Knowing that the Hyeran Clan bloodline was required to making that hidden door work, Durgan needed and left with some kids.

"Elder, please pick everyone else and leave. The Hyeran Clan can track my bloodline, so it is better if I run alone."

The elder nodded, but before he managed to depart, a sound appeared from inside the chamber as poison started to appear.

"Damn, the poison triggered."

Hyrk was already in the process of closing the door since Durgan left but only managed to avoid the poison by a second.

"Are you okay?"

The elder saw the situation, but he wasn't sure if Hyrk managed to avoid the poison or not.

"I am okay, but a second letter and I wouldn't have been able to say the same."

The elder nodded and departed with Birgh and all the kids.

After the elder departed, Hyrk sighed and sat to the ground.

"Sorry for lying. Although I managed to avoid the poison, I know that I am doomed. Even if I have died due to the poison of the hidden chamber, it wouldn't have made so much difference."

Hyrk knew that the moment he opened the hidden chamber's door someone would notice it since the person who opened the door would be registered and all his information sent to the person in charge, who should be living in a place nearby the hidden chamber.

Thus, since the moment he offered to open the door, he was determined to die.

"I don't mind if I die, but I should at least try to run towards a teleportation point different from everyone else to act as bait. Maybe if I have luck, I won't die."

Although Hyrk said that to himself, he truly didn't mind living or dying since he had been crippled and his options were living like that or reincarnating, which for him was the same a dying, there was no way he could have an open mind to reincarnation.
