"But Blanche is quite strong, Lady Narcissa. She managed to injure you yesterday," the guard said, voicing his concern. "Even though you were caught off guard, her Frostfall technique is truly formidable. The four of us—" "What are you afraid of?" Narcissa snapped impatiently. "She's badly wounded, and her strength has been seriously weakened. With the four of us working together, and my Violebolt Orb in hand, can't we handle one wounded opponent? "Besides, my husband knows I'm taking care of things here. If I'm ever in real danger, the protective charm he left me will activate. He'll be able to sense it, then come to my aid."At the mention of her husband, a flicker of pride crossed her eyes.Her husband, Alarion Jornell, held considerable status among the younger generation of the Jornells of Amethysius. His cultivation had reached the early stage of Core-Forged Arcanist, and he cherished her above all.Seeing that Narcissa had made up her mind, the three guards fell in line.
Chapter 2761
After leaving the ruins of the Weston estate, Blanche didn't go far. She took Snowy to a secluded cave in the wilderness outside Oakvale and set up a basic concealment spell before settling in to plan her next move."Narcissa holds grudges. The massacre at the Weston estate must have felt like sweet revenge to her," she said, sitting cross-legged with cold determination in her eyes. "But she won't stop there. I need to eliminate this threat."Snowy lay beside her, looking up and letting out a soft whine.Blanche stroked its head. "You think we should strike back, too, don't you? Just hiding won't solve anything. Besides…" The image of the charred ruins flashed through her mind. "Those innocent people can't have died for nothing."She pulled out the pendant Dustin had given her and ran her fingers over its smooth surface, lost in thought.Dustin might not be able to use his cultivation, but his medical skills were exceptional, and he carried himself with uncommon presence. He'd pro

"Lady Narcissa, everything's been taken care of," Ragnar reported.Narcissa nodded, her gaze sweeping across the blood-soaked estate. Her eyes held no compassion, only disgust."Burn it. Burn it all to the ground. I don't want a single stone left standing."The guards moved immediately, splashing gasoline that they had prepared throughout the estate. Once the torches dropped, flames roared to life, devouring the wooden structures, furniture, and the bodies of the innocent.Fire lit up the sky as thick smoke billowed upward. The Weston estate, once an impressive property, groaned and crackled as the inferno consumed it, reducing everything to ash."Let's go," Narcissa said. She took one last look at the burning scene before leading her guards away and disappearing into the night.Shortly after they left, a streak of blue light descended from the sky and landed in front of the blazing Weston estate. Octavius gazed at the carnage before him. He could sense the lingering traces of
Chapter 2759
As night deepened, Blanche traveled with Snowy, but they didn't venture far from Oakvale. She found a secluded cave in a remote forest area to rest and recover from her injuries.Yesterday's battle with Narcissa had ended in her favor, but it had aggravated old wounds. She needed time to stabilize her condition.Snowy lay quietly beside her, licking her front paw. Its amber eyes occasionally glanced toward the cave entrance with watchful alertness.Blanche's thoughts were far from peaceful. She knew Narcissa's vindictive nature all too well. If Octavius hadn't suddenly appeared and vouched for Narcissa, she would never have let Narcissa leave so easily. He seemed impartial on the surface, but his attitude was ambiguous, as if he had hidden motives.And behind Narcissa stood the Jornells of Amethysius, a powerful force among the hidden cultivator families, known for their ruthless methods."The Weston family…" Blanche thought of those ordinary people trembling under Narcissa's
Chapter 2758
The night wind swept over the Weston estate, carrying a biting chill mixed with the lingering stench of smoke and blood.Narcissa fled Oakvale in disgrace, cradling the severely injured and unconscious Kael as a handful of loyal guards escorted her out of the city. They sought temporary refuge in a hidden outpost deep within the remote mountains.The monastery there had been abandoned for years. Amid the crumbling walls and shattered pillars, a few side rooms were still mostly intact.Moonlight filtered through the broken window frames, casting over her twisted, pale face and sharpening its sinister angles."Mom… It hurts…" Kael murmured, still unconscious, his small body curling in pain.Narcissa carefully laid him on a broken bed covered with thick blankets and checked his injuries.Although Blanche's strike hadn't killed Kael outright, her icy spiritual energy had infiltrated his circulatory pathways, severely damaging his fragile core. Without immediate treatment, the damage

"How arrogant!" Narcissa roared as her hands formed a series of hand seals.A purple lightning bolt shot from her palms straight toward Blanche.Seeing that, Blanche didn't dodge. She just raised her right hand, and a white barrier shimmered into existence. The lightning struck the shield with a thunderous crack but dissipated harmlessly."How is that possible?" Narcissa's face twisted in disbelief. "You're seriously wounded. How can you still fight like this?"Blanche didn't answer. In a blur of motion, she appeared right in front of Narcissa and struck out with her palm. The attack looked effortless, yet the palm wind contained tremendous spiritual energy.Narcissa didn't dare to take it head-on. She retreated hastily while her hands moved rapidly, sending out purple energy blades one after another.Blanche weaved through the barrage with ease. Each blade missed her by a breath. At the same time, she struck forward with another palm.This time, Narcissa couldn't dodge in time.
