“Use the pills I gave you without hesitation. After you reach the Nascent Soul Stage, don’t forget to help Sherly,” Javon Forger said casually as he lifted his teacup.Eliana smiled broadly, patting her chest with confidence. “With an environment like this and enough pills, that won’t be a problem. Sister Sherly will definitely catch up soon.”Javon nodded, then looked toward Queen. “I’ll leave Sherly and the others to you. Stay with the Aljair family and watch over them.”The decision had been carefully considered. The journey to the Hernandez family was not something that could be done while bringing many people along. Even though Queen was already strong enough, Javon still chose to move alone. Without burdens, his actions would be far more flexible.After the Aljair family banquet ended, he planned to head directly to Ciderion Continent to search for clues about his father’s whereabouts.Queen seemed as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only let out a soft sigh an

Unlike Elmer, Queen had already seen through Lucan’s hidden intentions from the beginning. That direct rejection caused the young man’s expression to harden.As one of the Ten Geniuses of Skymer, almost no one dared to treat him this way.“You dare tell me to leave?” Lucan pointed at Queen angrily. “I am one of the Ten Geniuses of Skymer. Who do you think you are?”Many gazes began turning toward them. In front of so many people, Lucan felt his pride being trampled.Elmer frowned. “What’s wrong with you, Lucan?”“Miss Elmer, this is none of your concern,” he replied coldly. “Your friend has disrespected me. It’s only natural she be taught a lesson.”Queen remained seated calmly. “Ten Geniuses? Is that supposed to be something special? And you still haven’t left?”Her indifferent tone only irritated Lucan further. “You really are from the mortal world. You don’t even know who the Ten Geniuses of Skymer are!”Elmer then explained that the title was given to the ten strongest young cultiv

On the other side, Queen glanced at Javon as if asking for confirmation.Javon simply said casually, “Just do as you wish. I’m here.”That simple sentence made many people secretly surprised. Such trust could only come from someone completely confident in their companion’s strength.Queen turned back to Lucan. “Well? Will you hand it over yourself, or do you want me to take it?”Lucan clenched his teeth. After hesitating for a long time, he finally removed his storage ring and handed it over.“Just take it.” He clearly understood the gap between their strengths. Fighting back would only humiliate him further.Queen accepted the ring, then took out two secret technique manuals from inside and tossed them back.“Your family’s techniques don’t interest me. Keep them.”That decision made several clan leaders nod quietly. She knew her limits, and it made her actions appear more mature.Lucan received the books with a stiff expression. “Then… should I thank you?”His tone was filled with di

Because of that, their appearance at the gates of the Aljair family was not surprising.“How many people did they bring? Who is leading them?” Javon asked calmly.Elder Corvin Aljair took a breath before answering, “More than a hundred Lincoln family disciples have arrived. Around fifty are at the Core Formation Stage, more than twenty at the Nascent Soul Stage, and one Celestial expert. That person is Darius, the head of the Lincoln family and Malrick’s father.”Javon nodded slowly. A force like that was clearly not an empty threat. The Lincoln family had almost mobilized their entire combat strength. “Isn’t he only the family head, not the patriarch?” Javon asked again.“The true clan patriarch is only a symbol,” Corvin replied in a low voice. “All family affairs are handled by Darius. Fortunately, their old patriarch did not come. If he appeared, even Clan Leader Alderon would not be able to stop him.”The worry in his tone was hard to conceal. The Lincoln family’s dual cultivation

“Blood Essence Burning!”Dense crimson energy enveloped his body. His violent aura surged sharply, reaching the third level of the Celestial realm. His body expanded, muscles bulging, veins protruding like living serpents. His figure now resembled a war demon.The pressure wave it produced caused even the Aljair family’s protective formation to tremble violently.“Everyone, fall back!” Alderon shouted.Both the Aljair and Lincoln families immediately retreated. A battle between two Celestial experts was not something they could approach.Darius stared at Javon with bloodshot eyes. “Surrender and come with me, or I’ll force you!”Javon did not reply. He simply raised his hand slowly and held up one finger.Confusion appeared on Darius’s face before his anger exploded once more. “Seeking death!” He lunged forward, his fist shattering the air before reaching its target.Javon did not dodge. From the long case on his back, he drew the Azure Skyburn Spear and thrust it straight forward.BA
