"What's going on? What happened to the Emperor Weapon?"
The Jiang Family Holy Master sensed the Hengyu Furnace's upheaval, disbelief written across his face.
He immediately tore through the air and raced toward the place where the Emperor Weapon was enshrined.
"Damn it! I already stressed that they were not to use the Emperor Weapon. Isn't the Emperor Formation enough?!"
As he sped along, the Jiang Family Holy Master instinctively assumed it was the work of Sixth Elder and Thirteenth Elder.
Unlike the Emperor Formation, which any Great Power of the family could activate to defend the clan at critical moments, Emperor Weapons were generally used for offense. There was simply no need to grant that authority so broadly.
Under normal circumstances, using an Emperor Weapon required the Holy Master's approval.
Even the family elders and old Antiques were no exception.
Of course, if those elders wanted to use it, the Holy Master would usually not refuse.
But this time, he had unquestionably rejected Sixth Elder and Thirteenth Elder's request.
That was why he was so furious now.
The Jiang Family Holy Master did not particularly approve of what they had done, but as the ruler of a Desolate Ancient Family, he had to consider the family's interests.
He could not refute the arguments they had raised.
The possibility of forging a second Emperor Weapon—or at the very least, a Quasi-Emperor Weapon—was a temptation no faction could refuse!
The item had already reached the Jiang Family. There was no reason to hand it over.
Most importantly, some time ago, the Emperor Weapon had revived on its own and activated the Emperor Formation. Together with the rumored tolling of a bell, it all seemed to indicate that a Darkness Rebellion had occurred.
It had merely been suppressed for some unknown reason.
