At last, you have come, great ancestral empress!
"The Star Warlock Enforcement Team of the Heart of the North Legion!"
The old baron's heart sank.
How did they get here?
However, the old baron remained calm, got up with his grandson and walked out of the castle. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a familiar middle-aged figure standing next to the group of enforcers, and his face immediately darkened!
He understood everything and roared in anger.
"Moxilin, what are you doing?"
"You've brought the Star Warlock Enforcement Team from the Heart of the North! You're plunging my Black Family into utter ruin!"
However, the middle-aged Star Warlock lamented:
"Father, don't be so stubborn."
"The era of the Night Star Empire has long since passed. You should understand that the Night Star Empress you've been waiting for hasn't returned all these years; she might have already died in a foreign land!"
"You unfilial son, shut your mouth! How dare you curse your own ancestors!"
"Don't forget, the noble bloodline of Night Star flows within you!"
Why did you betray your own family?!
The middle-aged Star Warlock shook his head bitterly.
"Father, because you are leading little Minglande down a path of no return!"
"He is my son, and I cannot stand by and watch him fall into the Abyss of the family's curse."
"Every member of the Black Family is confined to this small Village on the edge of the Northlands, their entire life consumed by a worthless family legacy."
"Rotten and outdated, utterly useless!"
"I don't like my son like this. I want him to go out and see this great and vast Empire of Stars, to integrate into it, and to become a part of it!"
"So, this is why you betrayed me?"
The old baron was furious!
He simply couldn't believe that his son would betray him for this.
However, when faced with his father's questioning, the middle-aged Star Warlock shook his head, turned his face away, and refused to say anything more.
Among the group of aloof Star Warlock enforcers, the tall, white-clad Star Warlock leading the group descended from mid-air, approached the old baron, and sneered.
"Baron Blake, come with us."
"I am an ancient nobleman, and I demand that the Ancient Nobility Court defend me!"
"Hmph, you can't get the Ancient Nobility Court to defend you!"
The white-robed Star Warlock sneered.
"You are the remnants of the Night Star who have been lurking for countless millennia, enemies of the Empire. We need not use normal methods."
As he spoke, he laughed.
"However, seeing you all, I truly admire you. After so many millennia, your lineage has been remarkably well-preserved, and your perseverance is boundless!"
"Unfortunately, the empire's glory cannot tolerate such a sinner as you!"
The captain of the law enforcement team seemed pleased. He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man with a gloomy smile.
"Moxilin, don't worry. Given that you voluntarily surrendered and put family members aside for the greater good, we will only pursue the matter up to your father's generation. Your son will be fine."
"However, the title of baron and the territory cannot be left to you."
"Confess?!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically upon hearing this!
"I'm not turning myself in!"
"I've done something meritorious! Didn't you promise me I'd continue to inherit the family title?!"
However, the captain of the law enforcement team showed no mercy and mocked.
"Hmph, remnants of Night Star, you're lucky to be alive!"
"Wanting titles and lands? How naive!"
The law enforcement officers standing nearby also wore mocking expressions.
"He's just the son of a country baron; what kind of political awareness can you expect from him?"
"That's true, hahaha."
In front of the castle gate.
The old baron looked with disdain at his foolish son and the imperial gluttons known as the "enforcers."
"You actually believe them? You're such a fool! How could I have a son like you!"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the law enforcement officers stopped smiling, looked at the old baron, and said.
"Alright, old Baron, I remember your family possesses a mysterious Dark Star Pendant. Take it out."
This is the real reason why they were sent here.
Otherwise, Blake, a fallen country baron, even if he were a remnant of the Night Star from countless years ago, wouldn't be worth their time.
Our ancestors, the nobles of Dumanlin, have multiplied to this day, their bloodlines are mixed, and none of them are cleaner than the others.
The old baron sneered.
"If you want to sever my lineage, then come and take it!"
"They're really courting death!"
The white-robed enforcer raised his hand, and a white Fate Star appeared above his head. A surge of stardust power then swept towards the old baron!
However, his attack was ineffective.
The old baron's aged face suddenly looked much younger, and a dim Fate Star rose from his heart, leaping into the air, and descending with power similar to that of the Legendary Realm.
In a mere instant, it shattered the Fate Star of the law enforcement captain!
"This old guy actually has such strength?"
Half-lying on the ground, the captain of the white-clad law enforcement officers was utterly astonished.
Despite being at the same level, he was unable to defeat him and instead suffered serious injuries!
"Damn it, they really are remnants of Night Star!"
And opposite him.
After delivering that blow, the old baron's aura immediately began to weaken.
He took out the Dark Star Pendant, took his grandson's hand, and channeled the power of the Fate Star into the Dark Star Pendant.
A short while later.
A small portal appears.
"Little Minglande, let's go!"
However, they just happened to step into this portal.
As dawn Daybreak, a brilliant blue Stars fell like a shooting star, casting a blue beam of light across the sky.
The light faded.
A tall and domineering Warlock of the Stars appeared in the sky above the baron's castle like a god, interrupting the teleportation spell!
In reality, having already raised his Fate Star high in the heavens, his strength was no weaker than that of a god, and perhaps even stronger than that of an ordinary god.
He spoke domineeringly.
"Old Blake, give me the pendant in your hand, and I'll leave your grandson to build you a grave!"
"Damn Hanisen, back when you were on your expedition to another realm, you repeatedly pried into the secrets of my clan. So it turns out you coveted my family's heritage. Hmph, you'll never get my Dark Star Pendant."
"If you don't give it to me, I'll just take it!"
"The godlike Warlock of the Stars spoke arrogantly."
"Then you can take it yourself!"
As the old baron spoke, he immediately gripped the Dark Star Pendant tightly, and in an instant, the light of the night suddenly shone brightly.
"Light of the Dark Stars!"
Suddenly, darkness descended upon the world, and a colossal black curtain appeared between the old baron and the godlike Star Warlock.
Why bother?
Hanisen chuckled, stretched out his hand, and gently pressed it against the dark sky!
Crunch, crunch!
The dark sky seemed to cave in under his pressure, and the old baron's face turned pale!
"A fine treasure."
The godlike Star Warlock was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was delighted.
"With your strength, you're able to fight against Heaven Star Warlock like me with this. I suppose this pendant is of Immortal Grade quality."
"Today, it's mine!"
After saying that, Hanisen burst into laughter.
His aura surged forth, and a vast blue sky suddenly appeared in this area, pressing down on the dark sky.
As he exerted more and more force, the dark sky seemed on the verge of collapse.
Inside the dark sky.
The old baron's face showed despair.
The Dark Star Pendant is certainly not that simple; it was one of the three divine artifacts of Night Star Empress.
Unfortunately, the Black Family has faced crises to this day, and its lineage has nearly been broken several times. Moreover, its strength is too weak to unleash its original power.
The dark sky was about to be shattered!
He sighed inwardly, holding his grandson's hand tightly, filled with regret and guilt towards his ancestor, the Empress.
"Countless years of waiting have come to an end today. Great ancestral empress, and all our ancestors, I am truly sorry!"
"The Black Family ends here today!"
The next second.
The dark sky shattered with a deafening roar.
Celestial Sorcerer Hanison stepped inside, snatched the Dark Star Pendant from the old baron's hand, held it in his own, and gently stroked it, completely mesmerized!
"As expected, it's a divine artifact that only Immortal Star Warlock could create!"
"Truly blessed by the Emperor of Stars!"
Then, just as he was feeling triumphant...
The dark pendant in his hand suddenly burst forth with an incomparably brilliant light of spacetime!
The next moment.
The Dark Star Pendant melted into the light of spacetime, and to Hanisen's astonishment, the world seemed to be split in two, and an enormous teleportation gate appeared between heaven and earth!
Under the same circumstances.
Before the small castle, the old baron, who had been in despair, knelt down in excitement!
"We've finally waited for you, the great ancestral empress!"
