Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 179: The Incident Ends

The first to arrive were the seven heads of the Stacy family.

Despite their high positions, their strength is actually not weak.

Then came the other family members, with Shariel and Yetai moving relatively slowly.

This also illustrates some gaps in strength.

Upon arriving at their destination, the Stacy family and others did not approach rashly, but instead observed from a distance.

The seven family heads were immediately concerned about the Book of Sacrifice that had fallen beside the fountain.

They then turned their attention to Lucci, and naturally noticed the page in his hand.

Lucci's formidable strength startled them, but they had also exchanged ideas on their way here.

Such a powerful person is someone you should befriend, not an enemy of.

Even if the other party wants to study the Book of Sacrifice, that's fine.

If they hadn't seen that towering giant before, they might not have compromised so easily, but now it's different.

And he also thought that perhaps he could learn something about the Book of Sacrifice from Lucci.

Despite the fact that the Stacy family has possessed the Book of Sacrifice for many years, the origin of the Book of Sacrifice is long lost to history.

They only knew one thing: their family didn't actually use the Book of Sacrifice very much.

However, their family has always left behind a saying about the Book of Sacrifice: do not covet the Book of Sacrifice's powerful abilities, or you will bring disaster upon yourself.

Maintaining stability is all that matters.

Of course, not everyone in the Stacy family's history complies with this rule.

However, the only recorded instance was the instant death of a faction that controlled the power of the Seven Deadly Sins; it never caused such a large-scale incident as this one.

"Lord Lu Qi, you are indeed impressive. You were able to resolve such a secret realm incident all by yourself." Adolf, one of the seven family heads, was the first to approach and praised him.

Others are also slowly approaching.

But the sudden appearance of flames stopped them in their tracks.

The red flames blocked the way, then white flames appeared and burned directly on the Book of Sacrifice.

From the moment the power of the Book of Sacrifice dissipated, he had a hunch that the Book of Sacrifice was "watching" him.

Being stared at like that is very unpleasant.

Of course, Lucci did not sense any danger.

The flames of purification burned on the Book of Sacrifice.

It didn't cause any damage; it seemed to repel fire.

Or it could be said that the material is extremely special, completely resistant to the burning and purifying power of flames.

It was as if there were no negative forces in the Book of Sacrifice.

Lucci also touched the "paper" he had "torn" from the Book of Sacrifice. It was very smooth and felt like ordinary paper, with nothing unusual about it.

"Lord Lucci, please wait a moment!" The seven heads of the Stacy family immediately became anxious upon seeing Lucci's actions.

"Let's talk this out, Lord Lucci."

.....

The flames couldn't actually stop them, but they didn't want to intervene and offend Lucci, as they didn't consider themselves his match.

Lucci's gaze was also fixed on the Book of Sacrifice. Two golden skeletal arms appeared, and Susanoo was used once again.

He grabbed the Book of Sacrifice from afar.

Lucci tried to turn the closed Book of Sacrifice, but he couldn't open it at all, not even with the power of Susanoo.

Lu Qi noticed that there was a flow of spiritual energy within the pages of the book.

Just like a protective barrier, preventing Lucci from opening it might require certain conditions to be met.

As for the book cover, it has no magical energy, but it is extremely tough.

The cover of this Book of Sacrifice is made of some unknown material, yet it can even defend against spiritual attacks.

It's not simple at all.

Finally, with no other option, Lucci had to give up and throw the Book of Sacrifice directly at the seven heads of the Stacy family.

Also, keep an eye on whether there are any unusual changes to the Book of Sacrifice.

Unfortunately, when the Book of Sacrifice fell into Adolf's hands, he showed no interest whatsoever. Not only that, but even the feeling of being watched slowly dissipated.

Given Lucci's current strength, he didn't think he could be mistaken. In short, there was only one possibility: the "will" of the Book of Sacrifice was observing him.

Of course, this is only a guess by Lucci himself, and he is more than 80% certain.

The remaining part is that the "observation" may not be the Book of Sacrifice itself, but rather a life form within the Book of Sacrifice.

The reason for this suspicion is because of Regina's existence.

This experience also taught him that this Book of Sacrifice was no ordinary book, since a single page of its size and power could cause so much trouble.

Are those peculiar book pages also a similar existence?

It is possible that someone similar to Regina exists.

Regina also exists within the pages of the book due to the Lucci contract.

The torn page in Lucci's hand was his greatest gain from this trip, just like the seed he obtained from the Divine Tree.

It will also become Lucci's property and will play a significant role.

It was at this moment that Tai and Charlier arrived.

When Sharil arrived, he looked around for Regina, but he could see her very quickly.

"Regina, Regina is still..." Sharil's eyes were a little moist.

If he could, he really wanted Regina to survive.

The time we spent together felt like a dream.

Lucci did not inform Shariel Regina that she was still "alive" beforehand.

After receiving the Book of Sacrifice, the Stacy family first thanked Lucci, and then quickly left with the Book of Sacrifice.

They were to put the Book of Sacrifice back where it belonged.

We are currently unable to communicate with Lucci about what will happen next.

Watching them leave with the Book of Sacrifice.

Lucci had a peculiar feeling that something was about to happen to the Stacy family.

The person being observed was definitely not a kind soul.

Of course, Lucci doesn't care about these things now, since they won't affect him anyway.

What he wants to study most now is the "paper" in his hand.

They found a place to stay in the town of Waterfall and began their research.

Meanwhile, the Stacy family was cleaning up the mess and also exploring Fallstown.

They wanted to see if there were any survivors.

Unfortunately, there were no survivors, not even a body.

Everyone in this town has been absorbed and killed by the Book of Sacrifice.

It was a tragedy.

It has been more than two months since the incident unfolded.

In other words, the environment is relatively good. If the Book of Sacrifice were allowed to develop and expand, it might really cause a major crisis.

This is Lucci's assessment of the power of the Book of Sacrifice.
