As he spoke, Prince Auten cast a glance at the baby peacefully asleep with a smile. "What a beautiful family of three. I'm so envious!"Heather's face flushed as she scrambled to clarify. "Oh, this isn't our baby."Just as the words rang through the air, Ambrose had finished the fish he was eating, and said to Heather, "I've rested up enough, Heather. Let's go." As he spoke, he cast another wary glance at Prince Auten.This man was striking up a conversation on purpose. He definitely had ulterior motives.Had this been before, Ambrose would be sure to sternly tell Prince Auten to be on his way. Yet right now his internal energy had not restored yet, and he would have a tough time fighting this battle. This was why Ambrose tried his best to leave at once with the baby, not wanting to speak too much to Prince Auten.Alright!Heather called out, sweeping the baby into her arms before walking away with Ambrose.Prince Auten squinted at the sight, moving forward to stop them.Yet
Zeke's expression was nothing but arrogant as he spoke. He was the Four Profound Heavenly General, and hardly saw Ambrose as a threat at all.F*ck!Ambrose cursed at the situation to himself, his expression darkening. It had been so difficult to get out of the Hidden Hero Sect. There was no way he was going back.At the thought, Ambrose gave Heather a gentle nudge. "Leave with the baby first, Heather. I'll hold him back." His voice was firm, not leaving any room for questioning.He knew that he had not recovered yet, and fighting with Zeke would only bring him nothing but trouble. Yet this was better than just sitting and awaiting his death.Ambrose had thought it through. He was going to do his best to hold Zeke back, so that Heather could leave with the baby."No, I shan't…"As the words rang through the air, Heather grew panicked as she shook her head firmly. "I'm not leaving without you by my side." The pair had gone through so much together, and Heather's last priority wa
The light had been entirely condensed out of internal energy, and moved quickly as lightning."Be careful, Ambrose."Sensing the force of the light, Heather's expression shifted as she cried out.Motherf*cker…Ambrose was in shock as well. Was this how strong the Four Profound Heavenly General was? How powerful.At the thought, Ambrose hurried to summon his internal energy to form a protective shield in front of him.The next second, the light collided harshly against the shield. A loud rumble sounded through the air as the shield shattered in the blink of an eye, sending out powerful waves of energy through the air.Ambrose was sent flying from the force over a hundred meters, landing heavily onto the ground.Heather, too, had stumbled backwards a good amount of steps from the force."Ambrose…"The next second, Heather returned to her senses as she dashed forward with the baby in her arms, preparing to help Ambrose up.Yet she had barely taken two steps forward when Ambrose
"Ugh…"Zeke was nothing but annoyed at the baby's crying, saying coldly, "Don't say your goodbyes just yet. You're coming to see Master Magaera with me. Whether you live or die is up to his volition."As he spoke, Zeke took out a rope to tie the pair up.Just then, Ambrose and Heather exchanged a glance, their gazes nothing but despaired and hopeless.Yet at thievery last second, a strong energy came exploding out of the woods nearby. It was followed by a figure moving quick as lightning to land a blow onto Zeke.His gaze was blazing. It was Prince Auten.To tell the truth, Prince Auten did not wish to save Ambrose. He was, after all, Darryl's son. Yet Prince Auten was currently disguised as Adam, and could not just expose his identity to Zeke.After all, if Zeke were to know of Prince Auten's whereabouts, he would be sure to report to the Godly Region.Also, Prince Auten wanted to use Ambrose to track down Darryl. Thus, he could not just stand and watch Ambrose and Heather be
Ugh…Just then, Zeke stood slowly as he stared Prince Auten dead in the eye. He was about to speak when he frowned, and blood sprayed out of his mouth.This threw Zeke completely off guard, and he stared at Prince Auten in shock and disbelief. "How… how do you have powers?"Zeke was not only shocked when he asked the question, but suspicious as well.It was important to note that Zeke was one of the Four Profound Heavenly Generals, and had magic powers to protect himself. A mortal cultivator would not be able to hurt him at all, and yet Zeke could clearly feel then that the blow just now had almost taken down his fairy soul.Magic powers?Heather and Ambrose startled at the words as well. They stared at Prince Auten in shock. No wonder this man was so powerful— he had magic powers."Ha ha…"Prince Auten's expression was nothing but at ease as he said slowly, "I'm not mortal. Why is it so big of a shock that I have magic powers?"Seeing him beat around the bush angered Zeke, an
Zeke's expression shifted at the words.Impossible.Hardly anyone knew about the loophole near his fairy soul. How did this man know it?"You…"Amidst his anger and shock, Zeke's gaze flashed as he stared intently at Prince Auten. "Who… who are you, really?"Prince Auten smiled lightly. He did not answer right away, and instead walked closer."You're about to die, anyways. I might as well tell you."Prince Auten lowered his voice as he reached Zeke. "I am Prince Auten. It should be your honor to die in my hands." His voice was extremely soft, only loud enough for Zeke to hear him.What? Prince… Auten?Just then, Zeke's chest sank upon finding out his real identity. His brain buzzed blankly.Hadn't Prince Auten been cultivating in solitude ever since he had failed to get the crown? How had he come to the Nine Continents, and changed his appearance?Impossible, there was no way…At the thought, Zeke tried with all his might to fight back. Yet he had barely struck before Princ
Out of joy, Ambrose thought of something and asked Prince Auten, "Your Excellency, since you're friends with my father, would you know where he is now?"It had been a few months since Darryl left the Nine Mainland, and Ambrose was apprehensive.Prince Auten inhaled deeply. He pondered for a moment and answered thoughtfully, "Previously, my father and I left via the Teleportation Formation of the Godly Region. Unfortunately, something went wrong during the teleportation, so he and I were teleported to different locations."As Prince Auten spoke, he continued certainly, "In short, your father has already returned to the Nine Mainland, but I'm not sure where exactly."Ambrose subconsciously nodded, but deep down, he felt inexplicably excited. 'I see… That's great. Dad is back, and I don't have to fear any trouble anymore.'Suddenly, Heather, who was coaxing the child, felt suspicious as she thought of the few incidents that happened throughout the few days.She looked at Prince Aute
Darryl saw that the valley's entrance was empty, and no one was there.He was already alert, but when he saw that, he suddenly felt suspicious.'That's not right. For the past few thousand years, the Hidden Hero Sect has always deployed a hidden sentry at the entrance to the Altar to prevent the Godly Region from finding them. Why isn't there anyone at the hidden sentry now? Did something happen to the Hidden Hero Sect?'Thinking of that, Darryl panicked, and at the same time, he became alert. He gave up the idea of entering the valley as he quietly walked up the hill.A few minutes later, Darryl reached the peak, and he looked in the direction of the Altar of the Hidden Hero Sect, feeling completely shocked.The Altar was in a mess, and the plaza in front of the main hall was covered in bloodstains.Looking at that situation, Darryl was stunned and could not gather his thoughts for a long time.'Why did this happen?'The Hidden Hero Sect was established by the subordinate of t
