The passage was soon closed.
âOh gosh. Why is the passage of Ancient Path closed?â The children of the Rowans exclaimed.
Ludwig said indifferently, âThis one-way passage opens temporarily, and it is impossible to get back
through it. It closes once its energy gets depleted.â
Ludwig
Alex
âWhat? Itâs actually a one-way passage?â
âI thought we could get out. Does it mean we are trapped here?â
At that moment, Grand Emperor Rowan took Ludwigâs hand and apologized sincerely for the previous
incident.
Ludwig
Alex
Tidus was dead, and Waltz did not receive considerable damage. Ludwig could say nothing else to his
father-in-law for Phoenixâs sake. Most importantly, his mother-in-law sided with him. Not only had she
killed Tidus with her own hands, but she even scolded Miselia.
Ludwig
Alex
Based on the analysis of the various situations, the Phoenix Empress mustâve held a lofty status in the
Rowan family. Even Grand Emperor Rowan feared this woman.
Eventually, Phoenix told Ludwig that her father was just a young street vendor who knew nothing.
Later, he inadvertently obtained a stone and began to embark on the turnaround path. A soul remnant
of her mother, the Phoenix Empress, was sealed in that stone.

In private, Ludwig and his allies discussed what they should do.

Waltz said, âAnyway, I donât dare to act alone now. There are so many sons of the Rowans. All of them
are like wolves, and our strength doesnât seem to be enough! If we are going to engage in a group
fight, we probably canât win.â
âWhy donât we leave in the middle of the night?â Josua asked.

Shelly asked Joe, âHow is that dark demonic lotus of yours?â
Joe,
Alex,
Ludwig replied, âIt stopped⦠The energy in the Titan Cemetery stimulated it somehow.â
Ludwig
Alex
âWhat about yourself? Can you still control it?â
Ludwig smiled, âNo problem.â
Ludwig
Alex
It was because Hayley had given him thirteen planets as gifts. Perhaps she had long discovered the
condition inside Joe, so she summoned thirteen planets with a wave of her hand and connected them
into a magical thread to help him restrain the evil lotus in his body.
Joe,
Alex,
âI have a large number of Witch Ores right now! The Ancient Path happens to be an excellent place to
cultivate the ancient Witchâs path! Letâs go!â
âWe are polite enough to leave a note here!â
Unfortunately, Ludwig had given away the Cleansing Vase in his possession to the Goddess of
Compassion, but she hadnât followed him. If she had, the group of people could have waited in the
Cleansing Vase when Ludwig fled far away.

That night.
Noticing the opportune moment had arrived, Ludwig led his women and silently left the safe residence
the Rowans had developed with great difficulty in the Ancient Path. However, Phoenix returned to the
Phoenix Empressâs side.
Ludwig
Alex
Yolanda, too, returned to Grand Emperor Rowanâs side. Saria, on the contrary, left with Josua.
Josua.
Alex.
At the break of dawn, the Rowans quickly realized that Ludwig and others had left after leaving a note.
Ludwig
Alex
Grand Emperor Rowan rushed over upon hearing the news. When he saw the content of Ludwigâs
note, he thumped his chest and stomped his foot. âHow reckless! How reckless! The uprising of the
beast tide in the Ancient Path is about to begin, and things will become perilous! There are no safe
places once you leave here!â
Ludwig
Alex
After he said that, a loud rumble shook the ground.
Grand Emperor Rowan paled. âThe beast tide is here!â
Phoenixâs expression changed, and she inhaled sharply. âI have to find Ludwig!â
Ludwig
Alex
Grand Emperor Rowan stopped her. âWhere are you going to find him? How are you going to find him?
The beast tide in the Ancient Path doesnât contain normal beasts; it contains Witch Beasts. You canât
deal with them alone.â
âIâll go find him. Maybe itâs still not too late,â the Phoenix Emperor insisted.
