Chapter 2465

Author: Marina Vittori

A dull sound echoed through the air.

Jovian's body shuddered. Blood streamed from his eyes, ears, and nose as he crumpled to the ground, lifeless. He was dead. After fighting to his last breath, he had chosen the only honorable way out.

The scene had left even the assassins, who were no strangers to bloodshed, momentarily stunned. Taking one's own life so decisively wasn't something just anyone could do. Even the lowest of creatures had the instinct to cling to life, let alone a human being.

"This guy… He's ruthless," Ronan muttered, and his face darkened.

Warrick had given strict orders to capture Jovian alive, but now he was dead.

Now, Ronan had no way to deliver. If he had known it would come to this, he would have personally intervened to kill Jovian first.

"What now, boss?" one of the assassins asked.

"Clean up the scene," Ronan ordered. "I'll take the body back myself." With that, he hoisted Jovian's body onto his shoulder, tossed it into the vehicle, and drove off.

"Bitch! All you do is attack from the shadows!" Narcissa shouted.Her anger boiled over as she directed her guards to attack in the direction Blanche had appeared.Blanche fought as she fell back, seeming to be driven deeper into the valley. In reality, she was leading Narcissa and the others straight into the heart of the formation, right into the trap she had set.Just as Narcissa's frustration peaked and she was ready to use her strongest divine artifacts to break through the formation, something unexpected happened.Several beams of light suddenly appeared along the cliffs on both sides of the valley. Moments later, five figures streaked downward, landing in a part of the formation where the mist was thinner. They had subtly surrounded Narcissa and her three guards.All five were dressed in white, their sleeves decorated with faint cloud patterns. There were three men and two women, all in the mid to late-stage Adept realm. Leading them was a middle-aged woman whose presence w

"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.

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

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
