A blood-red blade light?

The moment it appeared, the whole courtyard froze. Every single eye locked on that strange crimson glow. It wasn’t just light—it was something else. Dangerous. Ominous. Blade light forged from pure Sword Energy. And that wasn’t something anyone could summon. Only innate cultivators could do something like that.

So… how did Kael Draven pull it off?

Shock spread through the crowd like wildfire. They just stood there. Staring. Silent. Even Lord Veyne—father of the fallen—pa

    Alliance?Kael Draven didn't answer right away.Even if Dragon Sect and the Ghost King Sect worked together, they still wouldn't be strong enough to stand against any of the Four Overlords. That much was obvious.After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke."We can cooperate, but it has to stay in the shadows."Arden Thane wasn't surprised.In fact, it looked like he had expected that answer from the start."I understand," he said with a nod. "Right now, that's all I can offer. But if the day comes when you truly rise above the Nine Provinces, I'll help however I can. Sometimes the support nobody sees is worth more than an army standing in plain sight."Kael Draven simply smiled.There wasn't much else to say.Soon afterward, Arden Thane left, leaving Kael Draven and Kiera Thane alone by the lotus pond. The two sat quietly together, talking about everything that had happened since their last meeting. Time seemed to slow down around them. For a brief moment, all the conflicts, ambiti

  • Chapter 318: The Corpse Slave Army

    Ghost King SectWhen Arden Thane heard that Kael Draven had founded the Dragon Sect, he was genuinely surprised.For quite some time, he sat there thinking it over, unable to make sense of what the young man was trying to do.His opinion of Kael Draven had changed long ago.If things had been different, he would have gladly brought Kael Draven into the Ghost King Sect.But he knew that was never going to happen.Someone like Kael Draven wasn't destined to follow another person's path. A dragon born to soar through the skies could never stay trapped in a small pond forever.Still, Arden Thane wasn't overly concerned.After all, there was Kiera Thane.As long as the relationship between those two remained the same, Kael Draven would eventually become his son-in-law. Whether Kael Draven liked the title or not, that would make him family.And family was a different matter altogether.Lotus Pond, Rear Mountain of the Ghost King Sect"Father, what did you just say?"Kiera Thane stared at hi

  • Chapter 317: Establishment of the Dragon Sect

    Draven Family, main hall.Only a handful of people knew about Alaric Draven receiving the inheritance—just Ardyn Draven and Kael Draven. No third person. And honestly, that was for the best. The fewer who knew, the safer it was for Alaric Draven… and for the family as a whole.“Son… are you really sure about this?”Inside the hall, there were only five people: Kael Draven, Ardyn Draven, Kaelen Draven, Halvor Stormveil, and Margaret Drake.The moment Kael Draven said he wanted to establish his own force, all four of them visibly stiffened. Not because they doubted him—but because they understood exactly how hard it was to build something from nothing in this world.Kael Draven took a breath and spoke slowly.“Grandfather, I’ve thought about this for a long time. As long as we remain under the Draven Clan’s restrictions, the family will never truly rise. So… I have to build my own force. Only then can we stand properly in this world.”Ardyn Draven sighed inwardly.He understood his gran

  • Chapter 316: Building His Own Force

    Accepting the ancestor's inheritance?Just the thought of it was enough to tempt anyone.Even now, Kael Draven had no idea how powerful Jedrek Draven had been during his lifetime. But one thing was obvious—he had been someone extraordinary. Otherwise, the Draven Clan would never have gone so far as to personally suppress him.Yet despite all that, Kael Draven shook his head."Grandfather, I can't accept it."Ardyn Draven frowned immediately."Why? Do you realize what this inheritance means? If you receive the ancestor's inheritance, your cultivation could soar in a very short time. When you go to the Third-Level Draven Family, at least you'll have a better chance of surviving."But Kael Draven's answer remained the same.He shook his head again.No matter how much persuasion came his way, he wasn't changing his mind.Of course, he understood why his grandfather was worried. If anything, he understood it better than anyone.Still...Even if he inherited Jedrek Draven's legacy and his s

  • Chapter 315: Secrets of the Draven Family

    Dragon Warrior.Ardyn Draven already knew why the Third-Level Draven Family had come looking for his grandson.If it had been anything else, maybe there’d still be room to breathe. Some way out. But not this. Not this situation. He understood better than anyone just how serious things had become.The rules of the Draven Clan were carved in stone—unchangeable, absolute.Any branch family below the Fourth Level had no right, no matter what, to produce a Dragon Warrior. Break that rule, and the punishment wasn’t negotiation… it was annihilation.Over the years, many gifted disciples from lower-ranked branches had chosen to give up that path. Not because they weren’t strong enough, but because the pressure from the Draven Clan was just too heavy to bear.And Kael Draven… he was only from the Emberfall Town Draven Family. In the eyes of the main clan, he wasn’t even qualified to step foot into Dragon Valley, let alone become a Dragon Warrior.“Son… how are you going to handle this?” Ardyn

  • Chapter 314: Return to the Draven Family

    “Third-Level Draven Family?”The moment George Holden said those words, the whole room went dead silent. You know that kind of fear—like the thing you were dreading finally showing up right at your doorstep? Yeah… that.“Brother Kael, you have to leave. Now. Don’t even think twice—just go as far as you can. And listen to me, don’t do anything stupid. The Third-Level Draven Family… they’re not on the same level as anyone you’ve faced before. The Blood Sea Sect? Forget it. It doesn’t even come close.”A Venerable?Zeric Jasper and Jack Holden exchanged a quick look. No words needed. They both got it instantly.Even if Kael Draven had stepped into the Venerable Realm… it still wouldn’t be enough here.Not against the Third-Level Draven Family.And honestly, that wasn’t even the worst part.If they really sent a Heavenly Venerable… they could erase him like it was nothing.That was the kind of weight those words carried.Kael Draven hadn’t even had time to stand properly when it happened.
