The Flood Dragon could not comprehend this. The being standing in front of it was a human. Why did he give the feeling that it was facing a superior being?"Go back to where you came from, beast!"Chase spoke up once more when the Flood Dragon continued staring at him.He was not mistaken!However…When the black Flood Dragon heard Chase's words, it evoked a memory from deep within its soul.It no longer dared stare at Chase even though he was just a 'frail' human body.The door appeared once again in the sky, and the Flood Dragon flew back inside in a flash. After that, the door vanished.It escaped so quickly that Wendall, the master who summoned it, could not react in time.The Flood Dragon disappeared just like that."What just happened?"The dozens of men watching the fight from afar were all flabbergasted.This was a technique that was bestowed by the emperor. It was a technique to summon Divine Spirits, but the young man in front of them had frightened it off."Hit
Anyone who was able to cultivate in High Heaven Plains was not an outsider. The Trevor family member did not hide this and explained the situation.The man who heard this began to look serious when he heard the explanation.It was no wonder that the Trevors were the most powerful family in East Capital. It was because they possessed this mystical technique.Chase was surprised to see Wendall injure himself to form the blood saber.There had to be something strange about this blood saber.However, he did not have time to consider this. Chase decided to fight Wendall first. He formed into a sword flash once more and made a fierce attack.It was only one attack, and a strange look appeared on Chase's face.If he did not sense the situation wrong…Just now…It must have…He decided to conduct another attack just to be sure.Chase sped forward once more.The Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand exchanged an attack with Wendall's blood saber.It was right after that clang that Chase c
"It looks like you've clearly made early preparations, Trevor. Unfortunately, you still came crawling back here." The emperor maintained his composed demeanor, unfazed by Hamish after seeing through his intentions.As he faced the emperor's overconfidence, Hamish could not understand the source of his composure.Nevertheless, Hamish still said coldly, "This isn't just Your Majesty's High Heaven Plains. It's also the Trevors' High Heaven Plains. Almost everyone in this blessed spot is from the Trevor clan. You have no advantage here, Your Majesty.""Is that so? Do you think you can stop me? Or any of these useless people?" The emperor dismissed Hamish and everyone else with contempt.As they conversed, the battle in front of the palace neared its end. Hamish realized he needed to act quickly to save his brother.With no time to spare, he roared, "Get out of my way!"His aura exploded, temporarily pushing the emperor back.In a flash, Hamish moved toward the battlefield. Even then
"Not at all. Like you, I'm seeing this man for the first time," the emperor explained."Then why does Your Majesty protect him so?""I'm naturally pleased to see someone helping me deal with your subordinates.""So from the start, Your Majesty intended to eliminate us Trevors?""I'll say it again; as long as you don't act, neither will I."The emperor stood before Hamish. Even with Hamish's aura fully unleashed, displaying the might of a stage-nine martial lord of martial arts, the emperor remained unfazed.He did not leak even a hint of his own aura, appearing as an ordinary person calmly observing Hamish.Faced with the composed emperor, Hamish simply could not gauge his true strength. Though the emperor blocked his path, Hamish realized that even without his personal involvement, the dozen or so martial lords from the Trevor clan could subdue Chase if given time. Afterward, they could unite against the emperor with better odds.With this in mind, Trevor suppressed his ange
"It's you!" Stephen exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the two."You know them?" Chase asked telepathically.Stephen quickly explained, "They're brothers. The older one is Enoch, and the younger one is Epoch. Both of them are stage-four martial lords of martial arts, and they're quite famous on Forage Mountain."They're considered the uncrowned kings of the mountain's forests as they have most of the rules there. I never expected they'd secretly follow us into High Heaven Plains.""Brothers? Which family are they from?" Chase inquired as the two joined the battle."They don't belong to any famous family. That's why they've stayed on Forage Mountain. Otherwise, they'd already be part of one of East Capital's renowned families. We just call them the Sands brothers."Chase understood now. The brothers' arrival changed the situation significantly, reducing the pressure on him. Of the dozen or so pursuers, four were now occupied by the Sands brothers.Olaf and Stephen's group held off
A blessed spot? Who exactly was this young man? The emperor silently remained cautious, wary that his using this person's power to eliminate the Trevors might backfire.Though the secret realm was broken, forcing Chase to temporarily withdraw it to recover, his gains were substantial.He had eliminated six of the nine, leaving only one at stage three, one at stage four, and one at stage five. The situation had reversed dramatically.The three survivors gathered as their expressions turned grim. Even the dullest among them realized they were no match for Chase together. Instead of pursuing him, they turned to flee toward their clansmen, splitting up as they ran.Unable to chase all three, Chase focused on the strongest—the stage-five martial lord. With his sword in hand, he gave pursuit.Seeing Chase ignore the others and focus on him, the stage-five expert cursed his luck. He sped toward the distant sky, attempting to lead Chase away from the battlefield.If Chase followed, the
Chase's target was clear. It was the two already wounded by Stephen's self-destruction."You insolent brat! Don't you dare!" Hamish finally lost his composure. He watched as the Trevors, initially in a dominant position, were now decimated. If he continued to stand by, only few would remain.With a furious roar, Hamish surged upward, intending to engage Chase."Trevor, are you truly disregarding my command as your emperor?" A calm voice rang out as the emperor appeared before Hamish, blocking his path.Though the emperor exuded no imposing aura, Hamish knew his strength was far from ordinary. However, Hamish did not need to best the emperor now. He just had to evade him to save his clansmen.With this in mind, Trevor attempted to dodge mid-air, trying to shake off the emperor. Yet the emperor stuck to him like a shadow, appearing before Hamish at every turn.Seeing the emperor seemingly predict his every move, Hamish's expression darkened. He had underestimated the emperor, who
"I ask you, Trevor. You're already the head of the most powerful family in East Capital. Why do you continue such behavior? What are you ultimately trying to achieve?"Hearing the emperor's words, Hamish was momentarily stunned."Your Majesty, are you suggesting I harbor thoughts of rebellion?""Isn't that the case? Why else would you gather all the talent Eastern Ocean? I see that you clearly want to advance further and take my position.""I truly have no such intention, Your Majesty. You misunderstand me.""Whether you have this intention now is no longer important. In any case, the mighty Trevors have now ceased to exist from East Capital. We've already reached this point, so whatever you say now is too late.The emperor spoke, either believing Hamish's words or having already made his decision to simply move on. He frankly mentioned the Trevors' downfall.As soon as these words were uttered, Chase, who was hearing from afar, was shocked.From what he knew, the emperor and H
