" Alright, so it should be here" an elder of the wang clan said to himself. He was currently standing before the ancestors hall. A place where younger generations can remember the great deeds their ancestors did.
The ancestors Hall of any clan was the most important building, it contained many things like the riches of the previous ancestors, and even their wills. upon a time of life and death for a clan, the current clan head would be able to summon the wills of their predecessors to fight for them.
However, it was also the hardest place to get into or destroy, only with the clan had mark (given upon becoming the clan head) could one be able to enter.
naturally, this elder was unable to enter the building, therefore, he swiftly collapsed onto the floor in a coma, he would be like that for an entire week.
Out of the elders body however, flew a golden whisp, This was the system, due to its intangible nature, ot was able to traverse through solid objects, perfect for infiltrating closed places.
The system then flew into the hall. Inside, there were paintings of the predecessors of the wang clan, some were depicted as charging into an army of thousands, slaying dragons and even helping 'commoners' (a stark contrast to what the current clan head treats 'commoners' like)
But there was one thing in common with all of these paintings, they all depicted the wang clan as an indomitable organisation who helped all people, and that if you were to get on their bad side, no matter how strong you were, you would be slain.
Paintings were not the only things in the hall, there were thousands of artifacts, all powerful enough to be the heirloom of second rate forces, but they were all kept here, next to coffins, with each treasure corresponding to the predecessor that used it.
" These artifacts have no business being stored away for the rest of time" the system muttered to itself, If Richie were to ever invade the wang clan, this would be the place to invade.
There were also other things in the hall like hundreds of thousands of golden coins and even grade 3 spirit stones. Wait hang on a minute, Grade 3 spirit stones are supposed to be rare, the entire Xinjiang Empire only had around 500 grade 1 spirit stones the system realized. How could the Wang clan have so many grade 3 spirit stones, even if you were to scour the entirety of the first realm, you would only find a handful.
But what did this mean? It means that the wang clan 100% had connections to people in the second realm, and powerful people at that, not everyone in the 2nd plane had grade 3 spirit stone.
(Richie is currently in the 1st realm, the second realm is basically a higher level world, were everything is stronger and there are more resources.)
The system then moved to the back of the hall, at the back there was a circular platform made of a weird silver metal, it had various inscriptions on it and gave of the feeling of an otherworldly object, because it was.
" Dammit, Richie, what have you gotten yourself into" the system exclaimed. The thing before it was a teleportation formation which led to the upper realms, these were usually really hard to make and cost a lot of qi to use.
The systems suspicious had come true, Richie's mortal enemy was actually connected to the upper realms, I can't let Richie's presence be known to the Wang clan thought the system.

Meanwhile in a higher realm...
"THAT STUPID SIDE BRANCH, HOW DID THEY LET HIM SLIP AWAY!"
This was one of the heads of the Main wang clan, in a higher realm. He had just received news from the branch Wang clan ( a secondary wang clan in the lower realm, most clans from the higher realms have side branches to keep things in check.)
This clan head was so infuriated because he had given such an easy task to the 1st realms Wang clan, yet somehow they failed to kidnap Richie.
The wang clans future completely depended on him being captured.
The clan head then got out a Jade talisman, a communication talisman to be specific, he then told Every single branch wang clan to look out for Richie, he gave the appearance as well to make things go smoother.
From this act alone, anyone could see he placed great importance on the capture of Richie, such a powerful communication talisman that had the ability to send signals through planes was extremely valuable.
The wang clan head then also placed a bounty on Richie's capture, an entire primordial spirit stone was the reward, he had to be captured alive.
It seemed that Richie had unknowingly become a target for all of the Wang clans.
There was now a bounty of 1 primordial spirit stone in his capture, an invaluable treasure.
Now, back to the system.
