Hearing those words, Lowes scrambled to his feet, as though he'd been granted a pardon from death itself. After a flurry of grateful bows to Xayne, he bolted down the Cyling mountain trail, disappearing into the thick woods below.Seeing Lowes spared, the crowd around him quickly followed suit. One after another, they dropped to their knees, pleading for forgiveness, each trying to shift the blame onto Onyx and the Christy family.Xayne's gaze swept over them, his expression unreadable. He let out a deep breath before raising a hand, signaling for silence."Get out of here, all of you! But let me be clear, remember this: You're all part of Drakonia. Citizens of the Emperor! When the time comes to stand up for your country, you must not shrink from the responsibility. If you do, I'll make sure you pay for it with double the consequences," he declared, his voice firm but composed. "Yes, we understand! From now on, we won't act recklessly again. If the nation calls on us, we'll give

Drakonia's Court held Xayne in high regard, and his growing reputation made him a figure of national importance. As a result, there were countless responsibilities and matters to address before leaving, and even a month seemed like barely enough time in Zeanid's eyes."Alright, one month from now, I'll see you at Kulun Ruins," Xayne said, clasping his fists in respect.Zeanid nodded slightly and replied, "Good. Remember, when you return, do not speak a word of this to anyone. If you do, you'll invite disaster upon yourself. Many covet the secrets of the Ruins of Dragon Clan. The fusion of the Dragon Hearts is the only key to unlocking those secrets, and it will inevitably attract those with ulterior motives!"Zeanid's gaze turned distant, fixing on a shadowy figure atop a distant peak. Klink stood with eyes burning in rage, watching Xayne survive yet another life-threatening encounter and emerge stronger than ever. Klink hadn't come just to observe. He had planned to wait until Xa

"That's right. The formula for the Eight Extremes Life-Extending Pill is a symbol of our legacy while it's in our hands. But if we give it to Xayne... imagine what he would think of us," Haqin said, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.The Grand Elder hesitated. "Circle Master, that's the most valuable formula in all of Healers Valley! Even when the Emperor himself came asking for it, you didn't hand it over. Giving it to Xayne now. Isn't that a bit too much?"Deep down, the Grand Elder couldn't bear the thought of parting with it. The Eight Extremes Life-Extending Pill was the secret behind Medicine Valley's members living far beyond the average lifespan. The formula was said to be the creation of Medicine Valley's founder, a unique elixir unmatched anywhere else. It was also the key to Healers Valley's prominence and its strong ties with Wyncock. Without it, their influence in Wyncock would plummet."Grand Elder, the formula isn't truly gone; it lives in our minds. Xayne won’t carel

"Let him in. Regardless of their intentions, we can't simply turn them away," Serena said calmly as she pulled out her phone to send a text message to Darius.Recently, Darius had been researching a new anti-cancer drug, but progress was painfully slow. On one hand, sourcing top-quality medicinal ingredients proved exceedingly difficult. On the other, Dispenza Circle's collection of pill recipes and formulas was limited. Developing something entirely new turned out to be far more challenging than anticipated.When Darius received Serena's text, he initially paid little attention. But as soon as his eyes landed on the words "Eight Extremes Life-Extending Pill," a glimmer of excitement flashed across his face.The formula for the Eight Extremes Life-Extending Pill was not only coveted by the Kickboxing Association but also a dream treasure for the Alchemy and Medical circles."Master, does this mean you've figured out a solution to the formula?" Several Dispenza Circle disciples near

"We can first leverage the resources at hand to conduct clinical trials and verify the efficacy of the formula. At the very least, for challenging diseases like cancer and leukemia, the genuine Eight Extremes Life-Extending Pill is reputed to have remarkable effects," Darius said earnestly.He paused for a moment, then added, "I’ve heard that years ago, a Drakonian Council elder had a distant relative with cancer. Haqin personally brought the Eight Extremes Life-Extending Pill and saved their life."Serena nodded slightly. "Alright then, Esmond, I'll leave this matter to you. This is also an opportunity to test Healers Valley's true intentions."She handed the formula to Esmond, the only one qualified to visit Healers Valley. After all, Darius's Dispenza Circle was relatively low-ranked within the Medicine Circle hierarchy, and it lacked the standing to negotiate with Healers Valley, the undisputed leader of the sect.Esmond accepted the formula with a slight nod. "Understood. I'll t
