"Madam Edith, I can testify that Brittany was the one who got the Jade Maiden Scripture!"

"That's right. It was all thanks to Brittany. That rotten bastard had nothing to do with it!"

"Nikki, you must have been mistaken."

The disciples spoke out one after the other, choosing to side with Brittany.

"Y—you all!" Nikki was annoyed.

She couldn't believe all of them were exactly like Brittany. They didn't hesitate to change the truth. It was outrageous!

"Did you hear that, Nikki? Everyone here saw it. Are you still going to argue with me?" Brittany smirked triumphantly.

She looked at Nikki as if she were a fool.

In the Jade Maiden Sisterhood, other than Madam Edith and a few elders, nobody dared to go against Brittany. She could distort the truth as she liked.

"Madam Edith, please believe me. I'm not lying!" Nikki didn't give up and tried to get Madam Edith's support.

"Many of them are saying you're wrong; how am I supposed to believe you?" Edith's expression was frosty.

    "Sorry, Dustin, I couldn't help you." Nikki was kneeling on the ground, feeling guilty."I didn't expect things to turn out that way. You worked hard, yet you didn't get anything in return.""I don't care about any of that. On the other hand, have you ever thought of leaving the Jade Maiden Sisterhood?" Dustin asked suddenly.He was upset when Brittany hit Nikki earlier but didn't intervene. Firstly, it was because that was an internal conflict within the Jade Maiden Sisterhood. Secondly, it was to make Nikki recognize reality sooner. "Leave? Why?" Nikki frowned."The Jade Maiden Sisterhood has a bad environment. They don't set good examples, either. It's not suited for someone like you," Dustin said bluntly."Hey! I won't let you insult my guild like that!" Nikki's expression hardened, upset with Dustin."Am I wrong? A guild that distorts the truth and doesn't follow reason won't have a future," Dustin stated calmly."Madam Edith treats me well. You just haven't noticed,

    "Stop pretending! If it weren't because you harbored ill intentions, Edith wouldn't have gotten hurt!" Letitia shrieked."It wasn't me!" Nikki shook her head repeatedly. "I didn't do anything. I passed the Jade Maiden Scripture to Brittany right after I got it!""Shut up!" Brittany's expression shifted upon hearing her. She rushed up and slapped Nikki's face two times. She screamed, "You bitch! How dare you slander me? It's you who planned this!""Exactly! We all saw it! You were the one who handed the Jade Maiden Scripture over to Brittany!""It seems like it's true that you can never know someone completely. I can't believe you would be so bold to harm Madam Edith!" One after the other, the group of disciples condemned Nikki. "I didn't! I didn't! I would never harm Madam Edith!" Nikki panicked. She struggled to get up but was unable to move. "You bitch! Are you still trying to deny it? It seems like you still won't learn a lesson. Punish her with torture!" Letitia ordered

    It was Cornelius who saved Nikki. When Dustin yelled, Cornelius appeared in front of them instantly. He grabbed the iron whip and broke it in half."How dare you!""You insolent bastard!"The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples shouted. They were angry at Dustin and Cornelius for disrupting the punishment. Some took out their swords, looking ready to fight. Duistin ignored them and walked up to Nikki. His expression darkened when he saw her covered in wounds and looking close to death. It was one thing to steal credit; Dustin could have acted as if nothing happened. But now they had falsely accused a person and resorted to torture when things turned bad. It was outrageous!"All of you are fellow disciples. Do you think it's appropriate to use such inhumane methods?" Dustin scanned his surroundings, his gaze sharp. "We are punishing a traitor. Outsiders should leave immediately!" Letitia warned. "This is my territory. Naturally, it is my business when something has happened

    "I will break your legs for humiliating Edith!" Letitia's gaze turned cold.She shot toward Dustin like a ghost. As a divine-level marital artist, her skills were second only to Edith and comparable to several elders of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood."Go to hell!" Cornelius' expression darkened when he saw Letitia trying to attack Dustin. He replicated Letitia's palm attack with equal force, resulting in a loud collision. He staggered a few steps back before steadying himself. But Letitia was sent flying a few meters away before crashing heavily into a large tree. It was like a car had hit her. The force left her coughing blood uncontrollably. "What?" The expressions of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples fell. Letitia's skills ranked among the top five of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood members. None of the disciples could match her power. Yet, she was severely injured by a skinny old man. It was astonishing! Even Edith appeared unsettled at that moment. They didn't expec

    "Madam Edith!" The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were shocked to see Edith collapse. They surrounded her, trying everything they could to wake her up. But all their efforts were in vain due to the severity of her injuries. "Hurry up and get her a doctor!" Letitia commanded and got the disciples to carry Edith outside. "Injuries sustained from going to extremes in training are not something an ordinary doctor can treat. "Of course, if you admit to your mistakes and pay me five billion as a reward, I can consider saving Madam Parker," Dustin said impassively. "What nonsense! Five billion? Why don't you rob the bank instead?" Letitia glared at Dustin. "Edith is blessed and has luck on her side. Nothing will happen to her. "Even if she were on the brink of death, we will never beg for your help!" "Really? Good luck then." Dustin smiled. "Let's go!" Letitia wasted no time. With a wave of her hand, she led the group out. "Madam Edith!" Nikki struggled to approach them

    Ruth's urgent voice quickly came through when the call connected."Dustin! Bad news! My sister is in trouble!""Trouble?" Dustin furrowed his brows. "What happened?""The family treasury has been robbed. My sister is the prime suspect. "They're going to use the house law on her!" Ruth exclaimed in panic."Try your best to hold them up. I'll be there as soon as I can!" Without a moment to spare, Dustin hung up and swiftly headed to the Harmons' residence with Cornelius.… Meanwhile, inside the Harmon's ancestral altar, a group of people blocked Natasha at the entrance. She was trapped with nowhere to go.The elders of the family were angry and filled with righteous indignation. They scolded her nonstop. "Natasha! How dare you conspire with outsiders to steal from the family treasury. You are truly an ungrateful daughter!""You have ruined our hundred-year-old legacy! How do you think you should be punished?""You bitch! How could the Harmons have raised such an ungrate

    "Nonsense!" Hector knocked away the knife offered to him. "I know Natasha very well. She would never do anything like this! There must have been a mistake!"When Hector heard that his daughter was in trouble, he immediately rushed home. He didn't expect to be met with such a hostile scene as soon as he stepped inside.Were they going to enforce the house law? Who dared to enforce the house law while the head of the family was away? "Uncle Hector, it's impossible to know a person truly. Character is nothing in front of riches." Dylan shook his head and continued, "The treasury was robbed, and only you and your daughter have the keys. If it wasn't Natasha, was it you, then?""Nonsense!"Hector glared at Dylan and exclaimed, "As the family head, I consider myself upright and honorable. I would never do anything that harms our family!""Well, that's certainly unusual. If it wasn't you or Natasha, was it a ghost who did it?" Dylan asked sarcastically.The crowd was doubtful upon

    "What?" Upon seeing the man, both Hector and Natasha frowned. They started to worry. "Uncle Hector, you should recognize this man, right?"Dylan walked around the attendant. "I caught this guy as he escaped with the treasures. "After a thorough interrogation, he confessed and admitted to his crimes. The key to the treasury is the evidence.""Hey! What are you still standing around for? "Hurry up and tell us the truth. This is your last chance to redeem yourself!" Kate stepped forward and kicked the attendant."It's not me … I had nothing to do with it!" With a thud, the man fell to his knees before pointing at Natasha. He groveled as he cried out, "It was all Miss Natasha's doing! She ordered me to do it. "I was just following orders. I don't know anything. "Please, I beg you, spare my life!""What are you talking about? When did I ever order you to do such a thing?" Natasha looked serious."Ms. Natasha, we have been exposed. There's no point in denying it. "You mi

    "Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

    "We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

    "H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

    With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

    Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

    Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

    The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a

    "Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int

    Compared to the second green sword, Glenn's third sword was even more powerful. As it descended, accompanied by the fury of a fire dragon, it carried the destructive force of a world-shattering storm.Fenley, whose energy flow was disrupted earlier, watched the fiery red long sword streak toward like a falling meteor. His heart raced and was gripped by a sudden sense of impending doom.With a roar, he risked the backlash effect and unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy. The ethereal divine spirit behind him instantly transformed into a figure with three heads and six arms. This was the complete form of the Four Elements of God's Technique.At that instant, he threw everything he had into the fight. He controlled the spirit to slam its giant arms into the flaming sword. With a loud explosion, the sword tore through the spirit's palms and continued its unyielding path toward Fenley. But its speed had slowed slightly.Without hesitation, he controlled the spirit to strike ag
