_Su Family_

On the second floor of the tower, in a big hall, Su Xue Er, her father who was the current head of the Su family, her mother, and many elders of the Su family including the Ancestor of the Su Family was gathered.

A middle-aged man was kneeling on one knee with his head lower, waiting for permission from the ancestor of the Su family to raise his head.

"Rise!" The ancestor of the Su Family said.

The middle-aged man raised his head and said, "Ancestor, we have discovered the traces of ancestor's master but..."

"But what? Continue!" Hearing that they were able to discover the traces of his master, the ancestor of the Su Family immediately became excited.

"But, from the clues we gathered, we find out that ancestor's master was murdered by the...previous sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect." The middle-aged man finally spilled out everything.

"What? No, it can't be." The ancestor of the Su family immediately stood up from his seat after hearing the report of the middle-aged man. Seeing him, the rest of the members of the Su Family also stood up.

"Hundred Sword Sect!" The ancestor of the Su Family took a long breath, clenched his fists while muttering the name of the Hundred Sword Sect, then again sat down on his seat.

"Ancestor, what should we do now?" The head of the Su Family asked.

The ancestor of the Su Family looked at Su Xue Er, thought for a while, then replied, "We definitely can not marry Xue Er to the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect even if we have to die!"

"As for the matter related to the top floor of the tower, my master once said that even if someone were to sneak up there, they will not find anything. Even my master himself was unable to find anything when he went up there to search."

When the members of the Su Family heard him, they were shocked. The head of the Su Family, Su Xue Er's father, Su Ling asked in surprise, "Ancestor, do you mean that there is nothing on the top floor of the tower? If this true then the rumours about some divine thing on the top floor of the tower are false!"

"No, the rumour is not wrong. My master told me that there really is some divine thing on the top floor of the tower. That thing is left behind by my master's master who found that thing in an ancient ruin. My master said that this thing is related to the origin of our world, Holy Beast Continent."

"That thing is inside a strange box. My master and his master, both tried to open that box but they were unable to. Being unable to open the strange box, my master's master hide that box on the top floor of the tower. Even my master was unable to find that thing after it was hidden so doubt that anyone else can find it." The ancestor of the Su Family explained.

All the members of the Su Family lost in thought when they heard about the strange box and the thing inside which is related to the origin of the Holy Beast Continent.

Su Xue Er said in low voice, "If no one was able to open the box then how does ancestor's master's master know the thing inside is related to the origin of our world?"

Her ancestor looked at her and answered, "When my master's master found that thing in the ancient ruin, he also found a piece of paper along with it. Everything was written there."

"Let's stop this topic for the time being. There is still one year left. If we still did not find a way to save our family, we, the Su Family will fight to the death against the Hundred Sword Sect in order to get revenge for my master."

"When the fight will start, Xue Er will leave the White Tiger Empire with other children of our Su Family so that our lineage will continue!"

When the ancestor of the Su Family said that, the elders and other members of the Su Family nodded their heads and agreed with him. They also did not want their child to die young.

Tears flowed out from Su Xue Er's eyes when she heard this. Her family has already suffered very much because of her and now, they were ready to willingly fight to the death in order to not let her marry the young sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect.

This was too much of a sacrifice her family was doing for her sake. She looked at her ancestor and said in a trembling voice, "Ancestor, please do not. I don't want my family to die because of me. If my family can live on, I am ready to marry the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect."

"Absolutely not." The ancestor of the Su Family directly rejected her with a stern expression. He said coldly, "Xue Er, this matter is not related to you at all. Hundred Sword Sect's previous sect master killed my master. He is my arch-enemy.

"Since he killed my master, a blood grudge between Su Family and the Hundred Sword Sect has already formed. I will definitely not marry my family's daughter to a person who is related to my enemy."

Su Xue Er nodded her head and did not dare to say anything as her ancestor was really provoked when she said she will marry the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect.

"Go and see if that person you saved has any improvement in his condition or not. If he still did not wake up after one year, he will also die along with our Su Family. I will definitely not allow you to bring a person along with you who will slow down your escape with our Su Family's children." The Ancestor of the Su family said.
