"Ancestor!"
Upon seeing the elder, the Dous' faces break into ecstatic smiles and they swarm forward.
With a thump, Dou Shaowong kneels on the ground, crying and wailing,
"My son is the only bloodline of Dou Clan. He was brutally killed. I beg you, Ancestor, to avenge us!"
The rest of the Dou's main line follow suit, begging the elder to intervene.
Michael's face is calm, but internally, he's on high alert, ready to handle any unexpected actions of the Dou's ancestor.
Teale thought Michael's confidence came from Yan Jiusi. In reality, Michael never planned to rely on others. He wanted to rely on himself, to confront the Dou's ancestor.
By now, almost every cultivator in the mountain-sea realm views him as a fat piece of meat, hoping to gain benefits from him at the expense of the Ten Thousand Paths Sect.
In that case, he decides to make an example of the Dous as a warning to others.
