"Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall

Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles

The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at

The square was filled with silence. Ambrose Darkmore's long sword struck down heavily just as Silas Nightingale fell unconscious, his life hanging on a thread.The sharp blade gleamed menacingly, poised to sever Kian's head in one strike. But the latter suddenly moved. His movement was so swift in that split second that Ambrose Darkmore couldn't catch up.CLANG!Kian held the tip of the sword, not caring about the damage it did to his fingers. His cold eyes locked on Ambrose Darkmore as he pushed the sword forward.Ambrose's eyes widened with shock, and his face turned pale with shock. He hurriedly tried to retract his sword but found that it was too late.SWISH!Blood splattered as Ambrose's long blade pierced right through Silas Nightingale's forehead instead of its original target. The sudden impact impaled him completely.BANG!BANG!BANG!...At the same time, the remaining elders also assaulted Kian with a barrage of attacks.THUD!Kian's body flew back like a rag doll due to th

"Aren't you afraid that this old man will suddenly turn on you all also?!" Kian shouted in desperation.The faces of the three elders contorted into a cruel grin, and one of them retorted, "We are more concerned about seeing you dead first!"Then, the four elders ignored him completely and launched their attacks relentlessly! SWISH! Ambrose Darkmore thrusted his sword forward. His attack was so fierce that his blade pierced right through Kian's left shoulder!But at that same time, another elder was attacking Kian from behind. Kian's eyes curved in a mysterious manner as he reached out and—A strange force seemed to erupt from the masked figure, gripping Ambrose Darkmore's wrist so tightly that he couldn't move!His sharp blade glinted in the light, almost blinding one's eyes. Suddenly, the hair of the elder attacking from behind stood on the end as he screamed in horror, "No!"But before his voice could fade, the sword that had seemingly pierced Kian's left shoulder drove into his
