A Thousand-Year Old Prophecy

120: Central Cloud War 1

Centra Cloud School...

A rare sight it was to see three generations of Council Leaders to be present there.

From Alexandra to Brock to Zaki...

Aside from them, there more people gathering around them.

Like Wayne, along side Toby, Khalil and Adam.

Like Andy, Raqie, Naomi and Drax.

But it wasn't just a simple gathering they had there. It was an important meeting for them all.

"When are they coming here according to your intelligence?" Alexandra asked Wayne.

"The day after tomorrow." The man answered.

"And they will be bringing a thousands army with them. Damn, they are really in for annihilation of us." Raqie added.

"Of course. They got their momentum by taking over the whole Eastern Island. Now that they have assembled their people there and had already recruited enough people on their side, they must have want the Central Island now." Zaki evaluated.

"In fact, it has always been the Central Island that they want. This is the highest island in our continent. If they still want to build that tower, this is the best place." Brock said.

"Specifically on that area of Central Authority." Naomi pointed out.

"That's why we have to stop them from here. Because if they will be able to touch the Central Authority, I am afraid it will also be the end of us." Wayne lamented.

Natahimik silang lahat dahil doon.

A year ago, months after Nyssa and Jin entered the Condemned Forest, the Eastern Island was attacked by the Dark Guild sa pangunguna ng Ryder Clan.

Thousands of innocent lives were lost that day.

The people from Meng Residence tried their best to fight with them, but in the end, in order to save their lives, they had no choice but to escape.

It was that Moira Ryder who was invincible.

Her strength was undeniably above than the others.

If Alexandra was right, she had reached the Third Stage of Combined Elements Technique.

Surprised that Alexandra knew about this?

Actually, Nyssa created another notebook of this technique for her. So in this continent. There were four people who were practicing that technique.

Moira, Jin, Nyssa's Uncle/Master and Alexandra.

But Moira was very much ahead from the three.

Talk about a lifetime of advantage.

Anyway, no matter how peerless of a genius Alexandra was, she couldn't reach that Moira's level no matter how hard she cultivated. That's because she only received the technique the last time Nyssa visited their residence.

"We need a way to at least stop that Moira Ryder." Alexandra said.

Now that the Eastern Island had already monopolized by the Ryder Clan and Dark Guild, they should not let those people do the same thing for the Central Island.

All of the people around her sighed at once.

"If only Nyssa is here..." Naomi said with a sigh.

Alexandra jolted when she heard that name.

Aside from attacking their precious home, Moira had another intention; to capture Nyssa Ryder.

At that time, she was also puzzled when Moira announced to bring her Nyssa Ryder in front of her at once. That's because the Nyssa Ryder she was looking for was just standing behind her.

Ryder Clan and Meng Residence had alwayse been at each other's throat since the beginning of their ancestors.

Two major families in one island, if they didn't compete for power and strength then why else did they become cultivators in the end?

Kaya naman normal lang na kilala nila ang mga importanteng tao ng bawat pamilya.

As far as Alexandra knew, that Nyssa had never been involved in that much businesses of Ryder Clan. That lady was a treasure hunter like Atticus, her Uncle/Master and she preferred great things than meddle on her clan's matters.

Isa pa, Nyssa had never been in good terms with Octavian, the Head of the Clan. And also with Moira, sa pagkakaalala ni Alexandra.

That's why she was also surprised to see the lady behind her sister.

But her surprised was more than that when Moira started looking for Nyssa Ryder in Meng Residence.

Of course, she dissed the lady, telling her she must have lost a screw to look for the person just standing behind her.

But Moira just sneered at her.

"This isn't Nyssa Ryder. This is your sister, Anastasia Meng." She revealed while pointing at the lady behind her.

Alexandra shook her head and thinking that this Moira had indeed become mad.

But the other lady stepped forward and started telling things na tanging siya lang at ang kapatid niya ang nakakaalam.

Alexandra was quickly guarded herself and asked the lady, "Who are you? You must have done something to my sister to know all of that. Where is she? Where is Anastasia?"

But this Nyssa insisted the she was Anastasia Meng and told them more things na sila sila lang ang nakakaalam.

Some of them were too private that Czar started to waiver behind Alexandra.

"Alexandra! It doesn't matter to me if you don't believe me. You are always like that anyway, siding to other people than me. But for you to stop my father to recognize me, I won't let you do that."

Then she started coaxing Czar.

"Papa, it is really me. That lady acting as Anastasia Meng in your residence and I have swapped our souls. She is not your daughter! I am!"

Czar was beginning to get confused, after all, blood is always thicker than water.

And no matter what, even if Anastasia wasn't in her body, she was still Czar's daughter after all.

But Alexandra would never let this lady muddled her father's head.

Whatever the truth was, even if she was Anastasia Meng, she still had gone to the dark side.

She would never let a lady like her to touch her father at all.

"You are looking for my sister. She is not here. Kahit halughugin niyo pa ang buong residence namin, you will never find her here." Alexandra directly addressed Moira.

Sandali siyang tinitigan nito. When the lady ascertained that she wasn't lying, her true intention appeared.

"Then we do not have any needs for you all. Either way, I know my sister very well. If I annihilate the whole Meng Residence, she would surely confront and show herself to me." Moira said with a sneer.

"Anastasia, are you going to do it or should I ask Yuan?"

Cruel! To ask Anastasia to kill her own family, Moira was indeed heartless.

But when Anastasia decided, she made Moira looked like an angel, for despite claiming that she was the real Anastasia, she had still started the deed with that madwoman aura around her.

She began killing the twins, Ariana and Alyanna. Then the elders of their clan.

Moira looked very pleased when Anastasia started killing her own family.

As for Alexandra and Czar, despite not accepting yet the truth that this lady was Anastasia, their hearts couldn't help grieving.

Anastasia or not, the fact that she was that demonlike, they were afraid she could never join their family again.
