Chapter 112: The Elder's Ultimatum(2).
“Huh!”Zareth thought at that moment, surprised by what the Elder had just proposed.But more than mere shock, a violent surge of dark wrath erupted deep within his chest. It was a searing, anger born from a single, agonizing memory: the last time he had ever been in a grand sect, it had ended with him being burned alive by the very sect he had proudly called his own.And now, this elder from some regional faction was casually demanding that he join a sect?Even so, with his mental discipline, Zareth forcefully locked down and suppressed the surging wrath threatening to break through his expression.“I am sorry, Elder,” Zareth stated instantly without wasting a single second, his voice remaining level and completely steady. “I am the designated next leader of the Red Panda Gang, so I cannot possibly join a sect.""Doing so would force me to leave this town behind, and you will have to forgive me, Elder, I have far too many unfinished matters to take care of in this town before I can e
Chapter 111: The Elder's Ultimatum.
Murmurs started rippling across the hall at that moment, though they were kept low and cautious. The whispers were entirely driven by sudden curiosity and shock among the patrons.All eyes in the main hall instantly converged toward their table as Zareth calmly settled into his seat, positioning himself directly opposite Elder Dona."Mmh... now if I look carefully, that man seated there is Dona. It's Elder Dona of the Peaky Mist Sect!" a guard whispered in disbelief from his table across the room, where he and his squadmate were enjoying a break. "What is he doing sitting with a thug? It hasn't even been that long since the convoy from the Peaky Mist Sect arrived in town, has it?""It is common knowledge that he despises these thugs," the second guard replied quietly, taking a sip of his tea. "Do you think he's going to slaughter the kid right there at the table? After all, he is Lord Ringo’s brother, meaning even if he executes a person right here in the middle of the Central Region,
Chapter 110: Death Promise.
"Mmh... it seems he possesses a rather decent cultivation, this Ziga," Zareth analyzed silently, his dark eyes instantly evaluating the opponent. "Based on the soul power I currently command, alongside his body posture, I would estimate that he has already reached the Eighth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm."Thud. Thud. Thud.Ziga stepped forward, closing the distance between them with heavy, deliberate strides.Around the main dining hall, the patrons, officials, and guards watched the confrontation unfold with rising shock and curiosity.Such open, aggressive public confrontations were an exceptionally rare sight within the orderly, heavily regulated borders of the Central Region, where citizens and faction members rarely dared to cause a scene.Whispers rippled across the surrounding tables as people paused their meals, watching the drama intensify; from the razor-sharp tension alone, it was abundantly clear to everyone present that these two groups were bitter enemies who could
Chapter 109: Shadows in the Sky.
Around the same time, elsewhere about hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the Barrow Valley...High above the sea of clouds, towering mist-shrouded peaks pierced the heavens. Atop the very highest peak, a breathtaking, towering platform extended into an isolated expanse.From the dense, churning clouds below, the structure rose like a impossibly thin stone pillar, and suspended atop its pinnacle sat a grand luxurious palace, looking down upon the other peaks like the domain of a god.SHOOSH!Suddenly, the space before the floating sanctuary rippled violently, and a figure materialized out of thin air! Hovering motionlessly in the open sky directly in front of the palace, the newcomer was clad in pitch-black robes that fluttered in the high-altitude winds.Without taking a single step forward, the figure immediately dropped to one knee mid-air, bowing his head in profound, trembling reverence toward the closed doors."Master! I have strictly fulfilled your command and have be
Chapter 108: Priority on the Board.
"Mmmh... who is that he is with?" Zareth asked at that moment, his sharp, dark eyes narrowing as he observed the figures stepping out of the manor."I don't know for certain," Jada replied smoothly, her gaze remaining fixed on the courtyard far across the canal. "Even this person, I have never really seen in person before, but I can tell from his posture and physical appearance that he strongly resembles the Town Lord himself. So it is supposed to be him, Elder Dona."The courtyard of the Town Lord’s Manor House sat roughly two hundred meters away from the elevated balcony of the Happy Lad Inn. From their vantage point, Zareth and Jada quietly watched as they moved past the manor gates. Interestingly, the group did not board their carriage; instead, Elder Dona, the young female disciple, and a single guard chose to walk on foot directly into the bustling streets. The rest of the armed escorts remained stationed inside the manor grounds."It seems you have sharp eyes," Zareth noted,
Chapter 107: Brotherly Gambit.
At that moment, Lord Ringo stood up slowly from his seat, visibly taken aback by his brother's sweeping declaration. Beside him, High Steward Raymond and the surrounding officials stiffened in shock. Even though the core concept of unifying or purging the town was precisely the grand strategy Ringo had been contemplating in secret, the fact that he was not the one to conceive or vocalize it first to Dona did not sit well with his colossal pride. Furthermore, it was deeply alarming to discover that an external, aggressive power like the Black Mist Valley was already actively targeting his town from beyond the mountain passes."So what will it be, brother? For you don't truly have any alternative choices here," Dona pressed, his voice carrying an unyielding, authoritative weight as he looked at Ringo. "Your town is a port town on the eastern border of this entire region, yet that port does not even function nor generate proper trade at all!""No major commercial fleet or merchant guil
