“Father, what do I have to do?” Cyril was very happy to hear this. He had also seen the Family Luck Plundering Formation before, and he knew that those who participated in the Luck-Plundering Formation would be able to obtain even more luck. Now if he could contribute a little, after they had plundered the luck of the Nicholas family clan, he would be able to get more luck, so he was naturally willing.

“Just follow what I do.” With that said, Maril took out a dagger and cut his palm. Blood dripped non-stop onto the ancestral tablet. Instantly, a magical scene happened. The ancestral tablet had actually absorbed all the blood within a short time. Then, it released wisps of green smoke which were incorporated into the large formation. Instantly, the entire formation started to work even faster, as if it had been injected with a stimulant. The effects were obvious.

Upon seeing this, Cyril immediately followed suit. He cut open his own palm and dripped his blood onto the ancestral tablet. Immediately, the entire formation began to operate at an even faster rate, and bursts of an inexplicable force erupted forth as if trying to extract some kind of energy from the void.

“It will be successful very soon! Soon…”

Maril spoke excitedly as he felt the power of the great formation.

“You guys are really bold!”

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a cold voice, which sounded from the ancestral hall. It had given the father and son a shock, and their expressions changed. At the same time, Maril, who was in charge of the formation, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. The formation had suddenly stopped working, and the powerful force that had been generated earlier had not been unleashed. Instead, it had generated a backlash, causing Maril to suffer internal injuries directly and vomit blood.

Maril was in charge of the formation. With the power of the formation, he could clearly sense that the entire ancestral hall seemed to have been sealed by an inexplicably powerful force. The formation had also stopped functioning because of this.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a translucent white figure constantly emitting a cold aura. It was floating in the air. The cold aura had enveloped the other party’s body, and his face could not be seen clearly. However, the other party was levitating in the air. This was clearly the levitation ability which only a Great Archmage could have!

“Great Archmage?!! Who… Who are you?” Maril looked at the other party in horror, his voice trembling as he asked.

“Hmph.” The other party snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “What? You guys are currently trying to plunder my family’s luck, yet you still don’t know who I am?”

“What? You… you’re actually from the Nicholas family clan? A Great Archmage? How is this possible?” In fact, just when the other party appeared, Maril had already thought of his identity. However, he still could not believe that this was real. After all, in the past hundred years, their Nicholas family clan had only been a second-rank family clan, firmly suppressed by the Grimm family clan. Even if luck had increased and a few had advanced to become Great Magi, it was impossible to have a Great Archmage suddenly emerge!

Romo naturally had no interest in explaining anything to him. He said coldly, “You all have been audacious and have actually dared to plunder my family clan’s luck. In that case, I believe you all have already come to the realization of death!”

Romo said coldly. Soon after, although he did not seem to have made any move, the temperature of the entire room suddenly dropped. A gust of cold air drifted toward Maril. Maril was horrified. He waved the silver-tier Magic Wand in his hand repeatedly and unleashed wave after wave of Fire Flames Magical Power. However, that gust of cold air was far beyond what he, a Great Mage, could withstand. This was the cold magical power emitted by a person with a peak Great Archmage cultivation base. When the Fire Flames Magical Power emitted by him encountered that gust of cold air, even the flames were directly frozen. That’s right, the flames were directly frozen. The cold air, which could even freeze flames, was not something a Great Mage like Maril could withstand.

Then, the cold breath continued to advance unhindered, and the Magic Wand in Maril’s hand was quickly frozen. After Maril had felt his magical power enter the Magic Wand, he was directly frozen and it was no longer under his command. He was horrified, and knowing that the cold breath was far from something he could resist, he was about to let go of the Magic Wand in his hand, but it was already too late. He was horrified to find that the cold breath had already frozen his hand and the Magic Wand together, and then his arm. It continued to spread up, and Maril could only watch helplessly as his body gradually froze.

“No… don’t kill…!” He wanted to beg for mercy, but it was already too late. He had just opened his mouth, and the cold air had already spread to his entire body, causing him to maintain a horrified shouting posture. He turned completely into an ice sculpture without any breath.

“Father! Father!”

Cyril was completely scared silly by this scene. He stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to move at all. He tried to shout out loud, but at this moment, he saw that cold aura flying toward him again. Only then did he come to his senses. He hurriedly knelt down before Romo, who was hovering in the air, and begged for mercy, “I’m sorry, don’t kill me. My father has done all of this, and it has nothing to do with me. Please don’t kill me!” Instantly, tears and snot flowed down his face.

The cold aura stopped in front of him and stared at him like a demon reaping lives. He dared not move and could only beg for mercy.

“Answer my question!”

Upon hearing Romo’s words, Cyril seemed like a drowning person who had grabbed onto his only hope of survival. He immediately said desperately, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk, you can ask whatever you want. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

In order to survive, Cyril would even kill his father, let alone reveal some of their secrets. Without needing Romo to ask, Cyril told him everything about the Nicholas family clan.

It turned out that more than a month ago, they had gotten to know a Great Archmage named Saruman through a relationship connection left behind by their ancestors. Originally, they had wanted to invite him as a guest and build a relationship with him. However, after coming to Winterfrost, Saruman had unexpectedly discovered that a person with great luck would be born here. This person was naturally Arthur.

Saruman’s most important cultivation technique was the Luck-Plundering Technique. The reason why he was able to advance to the realm of the Great Archmage was because he often used this cultivation technique to plunder luck from others. Otherwise, with his aptitude, it would be difficult for him to reach the realm of a Great Mage, let alone that of a Great Archmage. Now that he had encountered such a rare Destiny’s Child, he naturally would not let him off. Then, he used this technique to plunder Arthur’s luck.. Unfortunately, not only did his luck-plundering fail in the end, he even suffered a backlash and died.
