## Story

In the Eastern Wasteland, LC had encountered the ancient family alliance twice.

The first time was after the Mo family had fled. The ancient family alliance's people had come to ask him a few questions.

The second time was after the battle of the Immemorial Path. When he had been annihilating the Remote Heaven Gang, the ancient family alliance had also appeared. At that time, the ancient races and Pill Valley's experts had also come out, using the excuse that he had killed too many people in the Immemorial Path. They said that they had come to determine justice for everyone, but they had actually just come for his secrets.

Then Feng Xinglie and Ling Yunzi had come and resolved that crisis. After he came to the Central Plains, Long Chen hadn't heard anything from the ancient family alliance again.

For them to appear again and mention a traitor who had a relationship with him, Long Chen immediately thought of a bow-wielding person wearing a hat to cover his face. That person, who still had a bit of a baby fat, often liked to act mysterious and pose. It was Mo Nian.

## Formation

The ancient family alliance was composed of all the powerful ancient families. Their inheritance stretched back all the way into the ancient era.

After the battle of the immortal era, the majority of the powerful families at that time were destroyed, and only a small portion survived.

Then after experiencing successive dark eras, the ancient families declined and were whittled down by the flow of time.

After the last dark era, the Martial Heaven Continent became filled with strife and internal conflict. The battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths in particular grew to a greater intensity. The flames of battle spread throughout the continent.

The ancient families that were on the verge of fading out of existence finally banded together, forming the ancient family alliance to jointly face their enemies.

These enemies weren't people they had offended. These enemies were people greedy for the powerful foundations and wealth of the ancient families.

Anything that came from the ancient era had to have powerful origins. Some ancient inheritances or secret tomes were enough to make anyone envious.

If these ancient families hadn't banded together, both the Corrupt path and the Righteous path would pose a great danger to them.

After the ancient family alliance formed, they began fighting alongside the Righteous path against the Corrupt path.

That was because before they formed their alliance, it had been the Corrupt path who had launched several sneak attacks on them, snatching their wealth as well as their secret arts.

It was because the Corrupt path was the main offender that they ended up planting the seed of hatred. Although the ancient family alliance couldn't count as a member of the Righteous path, they would always stand on their side as soon as it came to standing against the Corrupt path.

It was thanks to the Righteous path and the ancient family alliance joining hands that the Corrupt path, which had been growing in power, was finally suppressed again. They could only hide in the dark and secretly raise their power.

After the ancient family alliance was formed, the ancient families finally had a measure of safety and began to rapidly grow. After all, although they had declined, they had powerful foundations and inheritances. It was just that they didn't reveal them for fear of drawing killers.

In the end, after so many years of development, the ancient families grew stronger. Now some powerful families were finally revealed. The Sha Family was one of them.

## Skills

Normally, only the ancient families would have such terrifying experts amongst their ancestors. After receiving their descendants' offerings and faith, they would become ancestral spirits that existed in a strange state.

Those ancestral spirits would bless their descendants, but there was no way for them to fight directly against enemies. That was why they required using their descendants' bloodline power to appear and merge with them.

## Relationships

There were experts from the ancient races, the Corrupt path, the ancient family alliance, and other powers. Some of these powers were neutral and didn't participate in the struggle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths.

However, the ancient family alliance was different. They were allies with the Martial Heaven Alliance. During the Righteous and Corrupt battles, they would occasionally appear and help the Righteous path.

After all, they were also from the human race. Other than that connection, there were many areas in which they shared resources and aligned interests.

Their relationship had become strained once Long Chen had appeared. But this didn't affect their hostility toward the Corrupt path.

### Severing relations

"Transmit my orders! The ancient family alliance is officially breaking off relations with the Martial Heaven Alliance. We are no longer allied, and both sides will mind their own businesses!" announced Di Long.

The two elders were shocked. "Alliance head... that's not a good idea! We work together with the Martial Heaven Alliance to fight the Corrupt path. If we break off ties, the Corrupt path will immediately target us."

The ancient family alliance might be said to be on equal standing with the Martial Heaven Alliance, but in terms of combat power, it didn't even have a third of the power of the Martial Heaven Alliance.

After all, the Martial Heaven Alliance was the sum of all the sects in the five great regions. Its total power was unimaginable. Compared to it, the ancient family alliance was clearly weaker. If they were to split off, the Corrupt path would become the ancient family alliance's greatest threat.

The two elders didn't understand Di Long's command especially since the Devil Abyss was about to erupt. If the ancient family alliance broke off ties with the Martial Heaven Alliance at such a critical time, they would appear despicable. If the Martial Heaven Alliance wasn't able to stop the devil race's invasion at that time, the devil creatures would slaughter countless innocent people on the continent. Wouldn't the ancient family alliance become a sinner in the eyes of the rest of the world?

Di Long did this because of his enmity with LC and Qu Jianying.

Qu Jianying had been furious when she went to the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, but she left even more infuriated. She hadn't expected the Illusive Music Immortal Palace to be so shameless as to split their responsibility with Long Chen equally.
However, what infuriated her the most was the sudden announcement of the ancient family alliance. They said they were no longer allied with the Martial Heaven Alliance, and they would no longer interfere in the battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths.

The reason they gave was that as long as the demon king Long Chen didn't die, they would never be able to work together with the Martial Heaven Alliance since they couldn't accept being allied with someone who would stab their ally in the back.
