The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 926

Chapter 926: Chapter 926: As They Wished

At this moment, the face of the Nova Kinship’s Clan Leader is as dark as murky water.

Just as Scarlett Jennings had said, the foundation beneath this Ancestral Hall is indeed filled with bones.

The Ancestral Hall undergoes renovation every ten years.

It is during this time that the women offered as sacrifices are sent into the hall, forever to rest beneath the earth.

Yet, what of it?

As members of the clan, giving up one’s life to ensure the clan’s eternal prosperity is their honor.

This is especially true for the nineteen chaste women, including the Wright Clan.

They died in the village, went through reincarnation, and returned to this village once more; isn’t this another form of endless cycle of life?

The Clan Leader of Nova Kinship does not see the ancestors’ practices as mistakes.

If it were him, he would make the same choice.

In contrast to the Clan Leader’s righteousness, the women originally standing by the shadow wall unknowingly begin to cry.

Some find it horrifying, others, like Evelyn Wright, feel the resentful energy that was once trapped beneath this stone tablet, belatedly realizing that they too are bound by fate.

They are unwilling, resentful.

Yet they remain helpless.

They can only watch as their resentful energy transforms into the fortune that nourishes the clan, allowing it to continuously grow and prosper.

Every few years, Nova Village produces a notable figure.

These figures boast about their achievements, living glamorous lives, but remain unaware of the countless remains beneath their feet.

And they, regardless of how many times they reincarnate, cannot escape the cage of the Nova Kinship.

This cage...

Should have been destroyed long ago!

Evelyn Wright, with eyes red, raises her gaze to the opulent Ancestral Hall before her, a mournful wail escapes her throat, and she rushes into the main hall heedless.

She starts destroying everything within her sight.

The members of the Nova Kinship snap out of their shock, and seeing Evelyn’s actions, they become instantly furious.

This woman, how dare she desecrate the ancestors?!

"Stop!"

Someone shouts angrily and hastens to intervene, but as they move, they are wrestled to the ground by those following behind.

It is the women who had always been standing by the shadow wall.

Evelyn’s actions seem to have touched a nerve that had been suppressed within them for so long; they rush forward heedlessly.

Blocking all clan members who attempt to stop them.

In an instant, the men and women in the main hall get entangled in chaos.

The chaotic scene causes the Clan Leader of the Nova Kinship to involuntarily vomit blood once more.

Scarlett Jennings stands within the barrier, watching the chaos unfold, much like the resentful energy within the barrier howling to release centuries of grievance.

She closes her eyes.

If destroying this place can let your resentful energy dissipate.

Then she shall do as they wish.

Opening her eyes, Scarlett Jennings suddenly draws two streams of golden light from the Golden Light Barrier.

The golden light pierces into the Black Wood Lotus.

The lotus emits layers of golden light, attracting the fortune within the Ancestral Hall, which begins to flow incessantly into the Stone Tablet through the Black Wood Lotus.

The resentful energy howling in pain within the barrier seems to be soothed, gradually returning to the Stone Tablet.

When the last thread of resentful energy is reclaimed, Scarlett Jennings rapidly forms a spell with her hands,

"Heavenly Dao is clear, Earthly Dao is peaceful, Human Dao is empty and still, the three talents unite, and the universe returns to one, I invoke the Imperial Decree..."

She raises her voice, chanting the final decree,

"Break!"

With a cracking sound, as if something is breaking, first the main hall’s four stone pillars manifest cracks.

Then the cracks slowly spread, across the bluestone slabs beneath the skylight, eventually converging on the stone tablet inscribed with [Chastity and Loyalty].

Another cracking sound.

The stone tablet splits right down the middle, and though it is stone, fresh blood flows from within.

With this decree, a bolt of Fire Thunder swiftly strikes down from the clouds.

Evelyn Wright’s pupils tremble, as if realizing something, tears once more uncontrollably flow.

Inside the Ancestral Hall.

Scarlett Jennings stands within the barrier, watching the Fire Thunder strike directly on the already cracked stone tablet.

The power of the Fire Thunder is immense; as it strikes down, it instantly splits the cracked stone tablet completely in two.

Yet this is still not enough.

As the first bolt of Fire Thunder crashes down, several more bolts follow from the clouds.

Thunder and fire crackle with electric light, striking precisely on the stone tablet each time.

Until the tablet, symbolizing oppression — the Chastity Stone Tablet, is completely shattered into fragments.

Outside the Ancestral Hall, Evelyn Wright and the other women sense something; the faces originally overwhelmed with panic and tears unknowingly carry smiles.

They cry and laugh, seemingly in madness.

But what does it matter?

Inside the Ancestral Hall, the Clan Leader of the Nova Kinship helplessly watches as the Chastity Stone Tablet representing the clan’s honor is reduced to rubble by lightning strikes.

But this is not all.

As Fire Thunder descends, flames instantly kindle throughout the Ancestral Hall, and in the blink of an eye, a fierce blaze is raging inside.

The Clan Leader neglects all else, howling in tears, trying to stop it, but is dragged out of the hall by some clan members who rush back in.

Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings watches the resentful energy completely disperse as the stone tablet shatters, a sense of relief finally shows on her face.

Samuel Chalmers looks at her and asks,

"Is this enough?"

"It is." Scarlett Jennings replies.

This is their wish.

Samuel Chalmers nods at her words, remains silent, then simply reaches out to grasp her hand.

The next moment, both their figures instantly vanish within the fiery confines of the Ancestral Hall.
