Deep down, Bear was aware that "love" had wounded Awesome's heart. After all, every lady Awesome had a crush on always ended up catching feelings for Nox instead of him. Obviously, this made Awesome extremely sad.With a smile, Bear patted Awesome on the shoulder and asked mischievously, "You seriously want to look for hot chicks?""Well, duh! Life is boring without girls!""Hehe… I've just received an important tip that can definitely find you a beautiful girl," Bear said with a perverted look."Forget it, Bear. I'm no longer interested in girls working at karaoke bars or nightclubs. Right now, I just want to fall in love and experience an actual love life!" Awesome voiced his thoughts, his gaze wavering."Damn! Who said anything about finding you a girl from a nightclub this time? Just to let you know, the girl I'm getting you this time is a top-notch and decent beauty from a sect!"Awesome turned his head around in confusion. "Bear, you're not joking with me, right? It's not s
Imperia was fully accessible after the Imperial City issued the Royal Retreat. Everywhere in the city, countless warriors were seen entering and leaving.At this moment, groups of warriors swaggered on the Eastside District's bustling streets. Some came from notable clans, and some from prominent families. In fact, many were warriors from all trades.Among these traveling warriors, an elderly figure and a young figure navigated through the crowd. The old man appeared to be in his 50s. His face was full of wrinkles, and his calloused hands indicated that he was a warrior.Walking beside him was a young girl whose hair was tied in a ponytail. Coupled with her tanned skin, she appeared to be healthy and vibrant.At a glance, one could tell they were warriors from another part of the country. Carrying their bags, they looked around as they walked."Grandpa, I heard that the braised duck in Imperia is the best in the world. I want to try it. Let's go have some!" the young girl urged th
The leader of the Grand Weaver's Workshop was an elderly woman. Although she was old, her face indicated that she was definitely a first-class beauty when she was young."Madam Weber, when will we attend the Six Great Sects' meeting?" asked a tall, beautiful yet aloof woman. As she spoke, she looked up at the elderly woman in front.The elderly woman, who possessed the aura of a Top Legend Realm, replied calmly, "I heard that it will be tomorrow.""Then, are we really going to fight Lord Nox?" the tall woman asked again.Madam Weber, whose full name was Patricia Weber, slowly raised her gloomy eyes and said, "The Great Lord of Faeast shows no respect to the martial arts world and doesn't take the Three Great Powers seriously! We must teach a rogue like him a lesson.""But Madam Weber… I think Mr. Greenshade is quite a nice guy. After all, he didn't make things tough for me last time."Just then, another enchanting woman suddenly stepped forward and spoke. Upon a closer look, she
The one leading the group was none other than Shatterheart, who wore a kind expression."Well, hello there, friends from the House of Enlightenment," Patricia greeted after seeing Shatterheart.Smiling, Shatterheart clasped his hands together and said, "I had figured out that an eminent friend would appear when I studied the astronomical phenomenon at night. My, my, I didn't expect that it would turn out to be you ladies. Speaking of which, our sect and the Grand Weaver's Workshop haven't had a gathering for years now.""Indeed," echoed Patricia.Shatterheart smiled and added, "The gathering of the Six Great Sects this time really is a grand event in the history of Faeast's martial world! It's just that I'm not sure when Celestial Ordinance's Abode and Magic Mountain's Sword Sect will show up.""Magic Mountain's Sword Sect? Is someone from this sect also coming out for this meeting?" Patricia was surprised.Of all the sects in Faeast, Magic Mountain's Sword Sect was undoubtedly t
Just then, a burst of footsteps abruptly sounded. At once, members of the House of Enlightenment and the Grand Weaver's Workshop turned around and saw the disciples of Moste Magicke, one of the Six Great Sects.Yorhar, the sect's successor, was leading the group. Behind him were the martial experts of Moste Magicke.Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Moste Magicke, Shatterheart smiled and greeted, "My fellow friends from Moste Magicke! You're here!"However, the members of Moste Magicke merely glanced coldly at the House of Enlightenment and the Grand Weaver's Workshop before entering the manor. They didn't even say a word.This caused Shatterheart to be in a slightly awkward state.Felicity muttered, "A bunch of fools who love to show off."She then turned to Patricia and said, "Madam Weber, let's go inside too.""Sure," Patricia hummed in response.Just like that, the Grand Weaver's Workshop and the House of Enlightenment entered the manor.This manor was the property of t
That was especially so for the ancient warriors who'd been living in seclusion for decades. They were so strong that not even Jacques would pick a fight with them. "With Moste Magicke's and Pavilion of Regality's patriarchs making their move, we can finally be at ease."…At the same time, a pair of silhouettes appeared before the manor. They were none other than Awesome and Bear. "You sure the Grand Weaver's Workshop's ladies are here, Bear?" Awesome looked at the manor before them sceptically."Yep. I talked to a lot of the spies and went through their reports. Besides, didn't you hear the guys on the way here? They saw ladies flying into this manor. I bet it's the Grand Weaver's Workshop's chicks."Awesome regarded their destination shrewdly. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's hunt some chicks."Awesome was about to rush inside when Bear pulled him aside. "The hell you are! There are guards here!""What? How are we supposed to find the ladies if we don't go inside?" Awesome
Although these people were Grandmasters, they were nothing to Awesome. So, it didn't take him too long to kill them all. Once Awesome was done, he turned around, smiling. "Let's find ourselves some chicks, Bear."Bear was rendered completely speechless. He stared at the corpses and gulped, his eyes flickering. "Maybe Awesome can really take these guys out." He followed Awesome into the manor.It wasn't long before more Mousse guards came to stop them. A man in black robes stepped forth, demanding sharply, "Who are you? You're trespassing upon private property!""I'm just here to get myself some chicks. Get out of my way, or die!" Awesome kept walking ahead, ignoring these guards."How dare you! We do not tolerate such disrespect here! Kill him, men!" the black-robed man ordered.The other guards attacked, and Awesome flew into a rage. "Fine, if this is what you want, then I'll grant you your wish!"Golden light spilled from Awesome's body as he swung his fist ahead. His style was
"What are you blaming me for? These idiots got in my way."Jacques' face darkened."Hey, old man. You a sect guy, too?" Awesome snapped.Jacques held back his rage. "I am not.""Then, fuck off. I'm here for the sect guys, so get out of the way." Awesome couldn't care less who this old man was. He was here for chicks and the heads of those sect bastards on his shit list. These idiots were trying to go after Nox, and he would not let it slide."And why do you want to see the sect guys, monk?" a dark voice said. It was none other than Calahad."Because the bastards are after my boss. So, I'm merely responding. Tit for tat, if you will," answered Awesome honestly.The sect people were speechless. The sects stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, and they were the dream and legend of many. They couldn't help but wonder whether the monk even knew the gravity of the situation.Calahad burst into laughter. "You're an arrogant one, monk. You came all the way here to send the se
Back in the regular guards' camp, Harley spat blood. He was lying in the ruins of a building, his body covered in slash marks. His Celestial technique was broken. This man was leagues above him. Celestial techniques were useless. The swordsman was too powerful."Magic Mountain's techniques? But their swordsmen are on good terms with the lord!" Harley stared at the man in green. He defeated Harley using Magic Mountain's techniques.Magic Mountain and Mystia had always been at loggerheads. They had slain many demons and monsters throughout the years, and their swordsmanship was a bane for the cultivators."I wonder how Nox managed to make a Mystian like you loyal to him. Yes, I am a Magic Mountain swordsman. Was, to be honest. I was kicked out a hundred years ago. My master said my heart is astray. How laughable. I have killed demons over ninety years, and hundreds of them have died to my blade! My heart is not astray!"Your sins are innumerable, Harley, and you must be slain! White
All of a sudden, the soldiers let go of their weapons. They had a look of fanaticism on their faces as they throttled themselves to death. The party went on, and the bluebloods enjoyed every moment, oblivious to the incoming danger.The monk passed through the residence smoothly, with all the soldiers and guards throttling themselves to death. Suddenly, everyone noticed a monk in red robes in the party hall. The drunk guests thought this was an event arranged by Atlas."We have a monk here. Wonder what kind of show you're presenting," a portly rich man joked, laughing loudly."Show? I am the leader of an evil sect. No show, but I do have a scripture to share. The government calls my sect evil, and they claim the monks are agents of darkness. You are not much better yourself. Omitofo."The old monk chanted once more, and the look on everyone's faces changed. Some knelt and cried their hearts out. Some groveled and didn't even notice that their heads were bleeding. They talked about
Back in his residence, Atlas called a feast and invited the bluebloods of Imperia. He was glowing during the event and could never be happier. He used to be a declining aristocrat with nothing but the title of nobility.However, his luck turned for the better when he got older. He followed Nox into battle at Heaven's Cage, Vertolt, and Winterosch, making him a true lord. The Limerents controlled the nation, and he was a prince. He could even have some power over the nation or at least be one of the top dogs in Faeast.If Nox became emperor, then all the better. Perhaps he could be a more intimate part of the royal family. He drank to his heart's content and partied with the most desired people in Imperia. Nothing could be better."Life is short, people. Drink!"…The Ice Temple's vice-Lord was in the regular guards' encampment. This was a critical junction, and yet Atlas wasn't at his post. Instead, he was having a party. The vice-Lord had a bad feeling about this, but he had no p
Harley sneered, having nothing but disdain for Atlas. "I can't believe the master would employ a shithead like you."Atlas laughed. "You think you're so high and mighty, but you're also Lord Nox's lapdog now. I am his subordinate, and we have a close relationship. I'm also the uncle of the emperor. That makes me Lord Nox's great-uncle," bragged Atlas."Dumbass. Just do your fucking job. Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise told me the Mousses might try something," Harley cursed.The mention of the Mousses made Atlas panic, but he calmed himself down and snored. "The Mousses? They won't dare do anything when I'm here. If they show up, I'll kick their ass! I command thirty thousand units. If they come to Imperia, it'll be the last thing they see!" Atlas was confident.Harley was speechless. 'My word, how can he be such a braggart?'With thirty thousand Nox Army units in Imperia, combined with the Forbidden Army, the regular guards, and 200 thousand elites protecting Imperia, nothing co
Vermilion Bird said, "Azure Dragon used to be an Advanced Eight Gates. After the Mousses had him under their control, he became a Supreme. Judging by these photos, he's gotten more powerful since then."'More powerful?' Nineve knew how the cultivators were ranked. Top Legend Realms were another kind of life form entirely. In Faeast, a Supreme could be made a lord. An undefeatable Supreme would be made a ruler. A Sovereign was made every five hundred years, while a ruler was made every century.Supremes appeared once every decade or so. "I don't get it. You three obviously found some power source, and with Nox's help, you leveled up. Azure Dragon only has the Mousses. How'd he level up so fast?"If the Mousses were so powerful, they wouldn't have to resort to assassinations or betrayals."Not the Mousses. It's all Azure Dragon. He's our captain. He's a very talented and cunning man. Emphasis on talent. He's so strong that not even three of us can compare to him, combined. The only g
Elizabeth said nothing but went red and hung her head low, causing Black Tortoise to panic."Uh oh. If you want him, you'll have to fight for him. That's all I can say, but the lord does think highly of you." He laughed."Shut it, Black Tortoise. You're talking nonsense here!" Vermilion Bird snapped. "See you, Your Majesty." She then took Black Tortoise and left the room quickly. They had work to do.The duo led most of the Shadow Division members back to Faeast. After the incident of Brundela, Faeast's fate was going strong, and the people were excited. However, beneath that excitement was unseen danger.Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise came back to Northstate's governor-general's place and met up with Nineve. Black Tortoise said solemnly, "What happened, Your Highness? We need the details."Nineve looked exhausted, and there were dark circles under her eyes. She had been working hard in Nox's absence. "Honestly, Atlas… I mean, the Defender of the Lord hasn't been pulling his we
Douglas worked through the night for the negotiation."One, you must apologize for your invasion of Faeast. Two, you will return all stolen relics to us and pay for damages. Three, you will open trade with Faeast, and it must be complete and total. Those are our demands. We promise not to interfere with your nation's administration. Once the aid is administered, our fleet and army will retreat from Brundela."And one more thing. Faeast recognizes you as Brundela's new ruler." That was interesting. It also meant that Faeast could rescind that recognition at any time. Elizabeth had no choice. Without Faeast, Brundela would be gone. In the end, the nations arrived at an agreement.At midnight, they called a press conference. Faeast helped Eropa settle a war and avert a world disaster. That news took the world by storm. The Eastern dragon was rising, and none could stop it. It wouldn't take long for Faeast to return to the top.Brundela's case was over. After they gave enough aid, Ferg
"They call you Great Generals?" the Ice Temple Lord laughed. "If I do want to betray him, how do you hope to stop me? You three had to take me on together, and it only ended in a draw. Now that I'm an Emperor and White Tiger is in a slumber, I can destroy you in a moment!"The Ice Temple Lord looked at Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise with disdain. Vermilion Bird's eyes were wide. She didn't care. She would fight the Temple Lord to the bitter end if she must.Black Tortoise was the calmer one, and he pulled Vermilion Bird back. "Calm down. Even if he wants to betray the lord, he at least would want to see the lord's body before he tries anything."Even a woman like Aphrodite lost this fight. He wouldn't dare try anything stupid."The Ice Temple Lord was still smug about being an Emperor, and now his celebration was cut short. Betraying Nox required a lot of courage. Nox's power terrified him. Even if he couldn't win the fight, Nox could at least come back safely.Besides, he only
The formation Nox created with the Sovereign Seal was on the brink of destruction. Once the formation was gone, the Sovereigns and the spirits would return to dust. In this final moment, Brundela's Faeastian called their friends and family in their homeland and projected the modern-day Faeast onto the gigantic screen in the plaza.The spirits cried when they saw how developed their nation had become. The Sovereigns and the rulers were meticulous people. They used to rule over a unified nation, so they knew how hard it was to create a dynasty. Every dynasty would have its peak and nadir.Every time a dynasty was on a decline, Faeast would be in danger. They didn't talk about the truth behind that video, of course. They admired the beautiful land of Faeast as they waited for their final moment to arrive."The hardest and darkest moment is behind us, sirs. Faeast has me now. You may rest in peace. I will not let you down. I will destroy the canker that infects Faeast and give it the pe
