It turned out that those black-robed skeleton people hailed from a force called the Black Fiends — and the Black Fiends were a truly notorious organization, guilty of every conceivable evil.
In particular, the Black Fiends' two leaders, the Black and White Skeletons, had even declared their ambition to become the sixth and seventh most evil people on the Martial Holy Land.
In pursuit of those titles, the Black and White Skeletons had led the Black Fiends in committing evil without restraint in recent years, making enemies of countless factions. They had become a target that numerous forces wished to eliminate.
And now, the Black Fiends had come to the Luo Family with a purpose of their own — they wanted the Luo Family's treasured heirloom, the Invisible Dew.
When the Luo Family refused to hand it over, the Black Fiends dispatched forces to attack Luo Huan and the others today. Luo Huan felt that, given the Black Fiends' methods, this was certainly only the beginning.
She believed it wouldn't be long before the Black Fiends led a great army to the Luo Family. If they still refused to surrender the Invisible Dew, then what awaited the Luo Family would be nothing short of clan extermination.
"So those Black and White Skeletons actually dare claim they want to become the sixth and fifth most evil people — they're certainly no ordinary opponents."
"In my opinion, the ones the Black Fiends sent today were merely small fry — a little test."
"If they come again next time, there will certainly be Half-Emperor level experts. With your Luo Family's strength, you would be absolutely no match for the Black Fiends," Chu Feng said.
"Yes, we know we're no match for the Black Fiends, which is why we've always tried to persuade my father to hand over the Invisible Dew. But my father is incredibly stubborn — he simply refuses." At this, Luo Huan's face was filled with anxiety and unease. It couldn't be blamed on her — when disaster loomed and death drew near, how many people could truly remain fearless and calm?
"Just what is this Invisible Dew? Is it really more important than the survival of your entire Luo Family?" Poison All-Things asked.
Hearing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. If anyone else had said such a thing, that would be one thing — but for Poison All-Things to say it too…
Back then, Chu Feng had simply asked Poison All-Things to change his rules and coexist peacefully with the villagers of the Devil Poison Valley.
But Poison All-Things had refused, citing that the rules set by his ancestor could not be altered, and was unwilling to agree to Chu Feng's request, even preferring death over compromise.
Compared to the Luo Family, Poison All-Things was clearly far more stubborn.
If Luo Huan knew what kind of person Poison All-Things truly was, yet here he was lecturing them — who knew how she would feel.
"Benefactors, you don't understand. Although the Invisible Dew has a pleasant name, it is actually an extremely powerful poison — colorless and odorless, undetectable even by a Dragon-Vein Royal Robe Spirit World Master."
"Although the Invisible Dew won't kill anyone directly, it can paralyze a person for a period of time. Once paralyzed, one loses all ability to protect oneself. If the poisoner harbors killing intent, then the poisoned person is certain to die."
"The Black Fiends are so notoriously evil. If they obtain our Luo Family's Invisible Dew, it certainly won't be for any good purpose. Who knows how many people would suffer."
"My father believes we must not aid a tyrant in doing evil, which is why he refuses to give it up," Luo Huan explained.
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, why don't you flee?" Poison All-Things asked.
"The Luo Family has an ancestral precept — the Luo Family rose here and will perish here. We will not flee," Luo Huan said.
"Stubborn fool," Chu Feng sneered, feeling that people like the Luo Family truly weren't suited to survive in this world.
"Benefactor is absolutely right. My father is indeed a stubborn man. It's just a pity that we can't persuade him." Luo Huan also gave a bitter laugh. She didn't blame Chu Feng — on the contrary, she found herself in complete agreement with him.
"I'd like to ask — how did the Black Fiends learn that your Luo Family possesses the Invisible Dew, this family heirloom?" Chu Feng asked.
"Someone in the Luo Family let it slip while drunk," Luo Huan said.
"Have the Black Fiends actually seen the so-called Invisible Dew with their own eyes?" Chu Feng asked.
"No." Luo Huan shook her head.
"Then couldn't you just insist that you don't have it?" Poison All-Things cut in.
"If it were that simple, the Black Fiends wouldn't have attacked them. Given the Black Fiends' way of doing things, even if the Luo Family insisted they had no Invisible Dew, the Black Fiends would never believe them."
"The Black Fiends must see the Invisible Dew. If they can't find it, they will destroy the Luo Family," Chu Feng concluded.
"Benefactor Feng Xing is absolutely right. When the Black Fiends first sent people to demand the Invisible Dew, my father told them the Luo Family had no such thing. He even publicly executed that Luo Family member who had let the secret slip while drunk."
"But the Black Fiends simply laughed coldly and left behind a single ultimatum — hand over the Invisible Dew within ten days, or the Luo Family will cease to exist," Luo Huan said.
