"That's right! Just look at this altar. Thousands of people are all targeting the King of the North. And the Valiant Union's chief announced that all grievances will be settled here today! Which means, if they don't take the King of the North's life today, they won't stop!" Elder Waze pointed toward the crowd.At that moment, it was clear that Elder Waze was still in the dark, believing Amir had simply passed through and had been invited to mediate. One word from Amir could make everyone step aside, and Xayne could walk away unharmed.In truth, given Xayne's power, breaking through the crowd was not impossible. However, with over half of the circles from Wyncock gathered here, a massacre would heavily wound not just the King of the North, but Drakonia's Wyncock. Elder Waze didn't want that, nor did he want to see Xayne truly stand against Wyncock today."Is that so?" Amir turned to look at Onyx and the others.Even Onyx, who was a towering figure in his own right, bowed his head sl

Elder Waze finally understood what it meant to be caught in a nest of snakes and rats. Amir hadn't come unprepared. It was clear now that he'd been watching from the shadows the whole time, observing Xayne's every move during his earlier fights.By now, Amir had likely discerned all of Xayne's techniques and trump cards. If Amir were to strike at this moment, Xayne could not possibly defend himself."You're all utterly shameless! No wonder Wyncock has been suppressed by the Eukranians for decades! With scum like you, Wyncock…" Before Elder Waze could finish, a resounding slap landed across his face, cutting him off mid-sentence."How dare you! Just because you're Elder Waze of Wyncock, you think you can spout nonsense and disregard seniority?" Amir's cold gaze pierced Elder Waze, his presence radiating an intense killing intent that caused the surrounding temperature to plummet."Seniority? Let me make one thing clear. If anyone dares lay a hand on the King of the North, you'll be

Xayne was utterly cornered. Despite possessing the strength of a Quin-Divine Commander, he couldn't summon the energy to lift a finger. His magnetic field was draining at an alarming rate, leaving him unable to activate his formations or even alter the field itself. At this point, even a novice trainee from Wyncock could take his life with ease, without needing Onyx's involvement."Right now, even an ordinary person could end you with a flick of the wrist. Tell me, Xayne, is the Heavenly Tome worth more than your life?" Amir taunted, his tone icy and persistent as he stared at Xayne.Killing Xayne would certainly give Amir access to the Heavenly Tome. But the secret script within could only be deciphered by members of the Xavier family. To Amir, the Heavenly Tome without Xayne was as good as useless, like a puzzle without a key.Both Wyncock and the Great Mountains knew the truth: the long-standing prohibition against Radiant Commander's interference in the mortal realm was on the v

"Christy family?" The old woman's raspy voice echoed like a deep bell, sharp and unyielding as she faced the northwest."Does the Christy family wish for annihilation? Instead of staying obediently at the tomb of the First Dragon, you stir up trouble everywhere! Zaide Christy, you have one minute to come here and confess your sins, or my husband and I will raze Heavenly Peak to the ground!" she said with a chilling voice.Her words had boomed across the mountains, reverberating far and wide, the echoes lingering in the cold air. Thousands of disciples froze, their faces pale with shock, each speculating about the identity of the old woman.To publicly call out the Christy family of Heavenly Peak and even threaten to raze the mountain—she must have been insane. Even the most powerful disciples, like Onyx and Amir, stood stiff, their heads bowed low. Their expressions made it clear: that this old couple was far from ordinary."Zoro, who are these old folks?" Before Lowes could finish, Z

Zaide took the slap without so much as a flicker of anger. Faced with Zeanid's interrogation, he lowered his head in complete submission.The more prestigious one's status in Wyncock, the clearer one's understanding of what Zeanid and Joy represented.Forget the Christy family, even if all of Heavenly Peak's population was included, it wouldn't be enough to withstand these two. So whether it was Zaide or Onyx, regardless of their power or standing, they didn't dare utter a word in defiance."I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?" Another sharp slap echoed through the air before Zaide could respond to Zeanid's question.This slap landed on Zaide's face and knocked the crowd's knees to the ground in unison. If even the revered master of the Christy family could be slapped without recourse, the rest of them wouldn't stand a chance.Zaide glanced up cautiously at Zeanid, his voice trembling. "Zeanid, I didn't know that the King of the North was connected to you. If I'd known, not e
