Alex’s words were almost inaudible. However, Clara, who stood beside him, simply smiled.

“Difficult? Doesn’t this actually speed things up?” Clara was about to kneel to follow the order. But when Alex did not respond, an energy force stopped her, because they were not the targets of the general sent by the Empire.

“Dear?”

“Just stay calm…” His gaze remained fixed forward.

Meanwhile, Wang Li had already turned pale. But before he could say anything—

WUUUUSH!

WUUUUSH!

    The previously silent atmosphere became tense again.Emperor Auriel’s gaze sharpened once more. The wind around the mining area seemed to stop moving.“You are indeed no ordinary person,” he said slowly, “not even someone who can be considered an ordinary cultivator…”The hidden aura of the Void Dragon within his body did not erupt. Yet that was precisely what made it terrifying—calm and completely controlled.“Dragon Prison King, listen to my suggestion,” he continued slowly. “I can consider your judgment. I can even change my decree.”He looked directly into Alex’s eyes.“On one condition.”Raven slightly raised his head, though he was still kneeling. He knew where this conversation was heading, yet he remained silent.As Auriel stepped closer, his voice sounded lighter.“Enter the authority under my control.”The atmosphere truly fell into complete silence.“Become one of the high authorities of the Empire.”His voice turned firm.“With your influence among the elite families, and

    Without waiting for an answer, the earth sword shot forward.SHUUUUK!!!The air split apart. Raven’s Qi pressure crushed down across the entire mining area. Several soldiers even staggered back two steps, their faces turning pale instantly. That attack was not an ordinary slash. It was a killing technique of an Imperial General.Clara remained standing calmly.Because Alex did not even raise his hand.The earth sword stopped exactly one inch in front of his neck.CRAAACK!!!A thin crack appeared on the surface of the sword.Then—BOOOOM!It SHATTERED.The sword exploded into dust of earth that slowly fell like rain.The atmosphere instantly turned silent.Raven’s eyes widened as well. Not because his sword had been destroyed, but because Alex had done nothing.There was no movement of his hands. No surge of aura. Even the pressure around Alex’s body remained stable.As if the attack just now had been nothing more than a passing wind.Several soldiers unconsciously swallowed hard at th

    All the imperial soldiers immediately stiffened. Their gazes shifted from Wang Zemin… to Alex.“Don’t tell me you’re also one of Wang Zemin’s people… Since we began investigating this matter, your name has never appeared on our list. Don’t drag yourself into this huge trouble.”“That’s right… Young man, your lover is very beautiful… Just live a normal life.”However, Raven narrowed his eyes. The aura around his body slowly rose.“You dare to obstruct the Emperor’s decree?”His voice was cold. There was no emotion, yet the threat was unmistakable.Clara merely glanced at Alex. She knew that everything happening today was not under her husband’s control.But Alex still looked completely relaxed.“The one who is guilty is Wang Zemin.”His gaze remained straight ahead.“So you have no right to kill an entire family without leaving a single survivor.”WUUUUM!The aura of the surrounding soldiers instantly exploded. Some of them had already gripped their weapons.Raven began to step forward

But before he could say anything—WUUUUSH!WUUUUSH!WUUUUSH!Dozens… no. Hundreds of auras appeared from every direction. The sky above the mine seemed to be covered by shadows of human figures moving from every small corner.From the top of the hills, from the surrounding forest, even from unknown tunnels within the mine… the Martial Artists of the Heliox Empire began to emerge.Clara raised an eyebrow.“Wow… they’re really serious. Is this the power of Heliox after breaking away from advanced systems?”Alex, curious, turned to look at Clara.“What do you mean?”“On this c

    WUUUUSH!A dozen guards moved at the same time. Their auras erupted, pressing down on the air around the mine gate. Swords and spears made of energy appeared in an instant.Clara let out a light breath.“Truly foolish.”But Alex did not even move. He simply stood where he was. His gaze was calm and cold.The guard at the front shouted.“DIE!”An energy sword shot straight toward Alex’s neck.However…With just a small step, Alex’s body shifted half an inch. The sword sliced through nothing but empty air.The guard’s eyes widened.“How is that poss—”He did not finish his sentence.Because Alex was already standing in front of him. His movement was so fast that it seemed as if he had vanished.Alex slowly raised one hand. There was no technique. No excessive aura. Just a single slap.PAK!The guard’s body flew like a cannonball. He crashed into the watchtower. Stone and wood shattered as dust scattered everywhere.Everyone froze for a moment.Clara only smiled faintly.“Always the same

    The head of the Wang family was still kneeling. His body trembled, but this time it was not only because of fear. Anger and regret were mixed across his aged face.The room fell silent once again. The fog outside the window grew thicker, dimming the light of the evening sun.After a few moments, Alex finally spoke.“You clearly know the consequences.”His tone was flat. The head of the Wang family slowly nodded.“If this matter reaches the ears of the palace… the Wang family will be destroyed.”Clara looked at Alex.“Not just destroyed. They could be considered traitors to the empire. And seven generations of the Wang clan would be executed without leaving a single survivor.”The head of the Wang family gritted his teeth.“I… am ready to accept punishment from you. As long as Lord AX can protect the Wang family.”Alex smiled faintly.“You really are prepared…”He paused for a moment.“But your family may not be.”The old man’s body stiffened, yet Alex still leaned back casually.“The
