"It's no wonder Elder Daglesh was willing to risk going against the three major powers just to shelter Leon!""Ah, I see.""Yeah, who would've thought Leon, a young nobody, would have the ability to assist an Intermediate Almighty State master in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck!""His methods are indeed remarkable!"After the shock wore off, the crowd erupted into chatter. Previously, they were puzzled as to why the Dagleshs would stick their neck out for Leon, who had no ties to them. But now, it all made sense. Leon had helped Elder Daglesh elevate his cultivation to the Advanced Almighty State!Of course, that was not the main point. What astounded them was the unheard-of feat of aiding a martial artist in advancing their cultivation, especially assisting a master at the Warlord level in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck.Leon accomplishing this was nothing short of a miracle!However, that's not all. Among the various ancient martial families attend
"Damn it!""How could this happen?"It was not just Felton. Both Dorian and Cassius also realized that the situation had taken a turn. Their faces soured, helpless expressions painted across them."Dorian, Cassius, both Caleb and I have reached the Advanced Almighty State in our cultivation!""Do you still think that our Dagleshs and Morrisons' Mansion stand no chance against you and the Underwoods?" At this moment, Elder Daglesh sneered mockingly."Well..."Dorian and Cassius fell silent, unable to respond."Dorian, Cassius, out of goodwill towards our shared humanity, I'll give you a piece of advice."If the two of you, along with Felton, choose to leave now, we can pretend this never happened."Otherwise, we'll have to settle matters by force."Seeing that Dorian and the others had lost their earlier arrogance, Caleb seized the opportunity to speak. Despite their superior cultivation levels, he and Elder Daglesh were not without concerns. "To hurt the enemy at the cost
"Leon, you got lucky today, with both the Morrisons and Dagleshs protecting you. I'll let you off the hook for now!" He sneered, "But next time, luck won't be on your side like this!""Dorian, Cassius, let's go!" Before leaving, Felton dropped a menacing remark, and then signaled to Dorian and Cassius to retreat together."That ordeal finally comes to an end," Leon remarked. "Thankfully, it was all just a false alarm, much ado about nothing." Watching Felton and the others prepare to leave, both Caleb and Grandfather Elder Daglesh could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the weight lifted off their shoulders.However, the next moment brought something incredibly surprising before their thoughts could settle."Leaving so soon?" Leon, who had been silent until then, snorted coldly. Stepping forward swiftly, he immediately blocked Felton and Dorian's path."What's the meaning of this, Leon?" Felton's expression darkened, his gaze towards Leon filled with displeasure."
"Impossible!"The people from the Grimstons and Underwoods can leave! But Felton and the people from the Fermers cannot. They must stay today!"Leon asserted firmly, leaving no room for doubt.Earlier, he had received exact information from Fletcher. The leaders of the Fermers, Western Boss and Southern Boss, along with a large group of experts, had left the Fermers, their destination unknown!Initially, he had thought Western Boss and Southern Boss's purpose was to deal with him. But now, neither Western Boss nor Southern Boss had shown up at all.This vaguely made him realize something was amiss, even suspecting that Western Boss and Southern Boss might be plotting something, trying to scheme against him in secret.He had to figure this out!As the son of Western Boss, Felton must know the whereabouts and intentions of Western Boss and Southern Boss.He was determined to keep Felton behind to uncover Southern Boss's whereabouts and to understand the motives of Western Boss an
"I never intended to use the Morrisons' Mansion and the Dagleshs to deal with your three families!" Leon declared."A bunch of trash like you all, I can handle on my own!" he sneered."There's no need for the Morrisons' Mansion and the Dagleshs to intervene!" Leon's gaze towards Felton and Dorian was filled with disdain.His words were not unfounded. With his current comprehensive strength reaching the Semi-Saint State, Felton and Dorian were no more significant to him than ants. They posed no threat whatsoever. Dealing with them would be as easy as flipping a coin. Why would he need anyone else's help?"What?" Leon's statement was like a heavy bombshell, nearly blasting everyone present off their feet."Did we... hear him correctly?""This kid Leon actually said he'll take on the three major powers by himself?""Is he out of his mind?"The surrounding martial families and forces were stunned, unable to believe their ears. While they did not know much about Leon's situation o
"Never mind! Mr. Caleb, Elder Daglesh, you needn't worry.""I have a handle on this matter. Anyway, your two families can just watch from the sidelines. I can handle these worthless scoundrels."Hearing the persuasion from Caleb and Elder Daglesh, Leon remained calm and determined, with no room for negotiation in his tone."Well..." Seeing Leon's insistence, Caleb and Elder Daglesh were completely stunned!Then the two of them could not help but exchange a glance, at a loss for what to do!"Fine, very well! Leon, this is of your own making!"Felton, Dorian, Cassius, and others were infuriated by Leon's arrogance, their laughter filled with anger!Then, as if recalling something, Felton's gaze shifted to Caleb and Elder Daglesh."Mr. Caleb, Elder Daglesh, you both heard what Leon said, didn't you? He already stated for your two families to watch from the sidelines, without needing your help!"If your two families continue to shelter him, or actively assist him in opposing our t
"Felton, enough chit-chating. Why don't you all just come at me now? Let's see who's more powerful!" Leon pointed at Felton, Dorian, and the others, scoffing. "Why you!" They were all furious. Leon was far too arrogant to ask them to attack at once. He was blatantly disrespecting them. Though they desperately wished they could crush him immediately, they were all from prestigious families with a reputation to uphold. With so many others around, they could not gang up on Leon or they would be mocked. On top of that, Leon was just a young nobody who was not qualified to be their opponent. "Kid, I alone should suffice in dealing with a brat like you! We don't all have to attack together!" Just then, the Fifth Apostles stepped forward again. He then bowed at Felton and said, "Mister Felton, please let me deal with this kid. I'll teach him what it means to be this arrogant.""Sure! Destroy him!" Felton said viciously. "Yes!" The Fifth Apostle said and strode forward malicio
"It's over!""Leon's going to die!"...Like Felton, Dorian, and the others, the crowd along with the Morrisons and the Dagleshs all thought that a young man like Leon would lose to the Fifth Apostle. It would be unrealistic to assume otherwise. They all sighed empathetically, feeling that it was a shame for Leon to perish at the hands of the Fifth Apostle. There were others, like Jayden and some younger individuals, who all thought that Leon brought this upon himself. However, what happened next shocked them all. Baam!Following a deafening sound, Leon's Earthly PLunder clashed with the Fifth Apostle's attack. Though Leon did not take the Dragon Pill to display his full strength, he already reached the Intermediate Golden Core Phase and his power went up drastically. Also, the Earthly Plunder was an Advanced Power technique that could gather one's spiritual energy to a single spot, so it wielded tremendous power. As their attacks clashed, his Earthly Plunder tore t
