Chapter 689: An utterly futile endeavor
Alistair slowly turned around, facing the six representatives head-on.The moment Alistair's golden eyes locked onto Meng Hao, the prodigy of the Heavenly King Martial Sect instinctively took a half-step back, his hand tightening around the hilt of his broadsword as an unbidden chill ran down his spine.Meng Hao glared at the newcomer, trying to suppress the sudden wave of dread pooling in his gut. "Who are you?! State your name and your sect!"Alistair’s expression remained unreadable, his eyes cold and distant. "My identity is inconsequential to dead men.""You arrogant—!" Meng Hao snarled, but before he could finish, Xue Ying let out a sharp, horrified gasp from behind him."It's him!" Xue Ying cried out, her face going deathly pale as she pointed a trembling finger at Alistair. "Brother Meng, that's Alistair Reid! He is the very man the previous envoys warned us about—the one colluding with the demonic sects and harboring that old cripple, Master Xie!"Meng Hao’s eyes widened slig
Chapter 688: In the nick of time
Their brazen defiance grated severely on the nerves of the six representatives standing opposite them.Representing the pinnacle factions of the righteous alliance, these elite cultivators were accustomed to absolute submission.At the head of the group stood Meng Hao, the famed prodigy of the Heavenly King Martial Sect.Clad in golden-embroidered martial robes, his hand rested on the hilt of a heavy broadsword.He had been dispatched to Haven with a singular objective: investigate the mysterious death of his sect brother, Long Tian, and obliterate whoever was responsible.Guided by the twisted testimonies of the other representatives, his eyes were locked onto Elizabeth with venomous intent.Yet, despite their overwhelming numbers and superior cultivation, the six representatives had been unable to lay a single finger on the three seated before them.Every time an attack drew near, a translucent, golden barrier would ripple into existence around Elizabeth, Donald, and Caleb—a protect
Chapter 687: Unworthy to hold power
Driven by frantic desperation, the twenty-three representatives surged forward at once. Blades gleamed with sword light, frost-Qi spikes condensed in mid-air, and corrosive palm strikes rained down from every direction, aiming straight for Alistair’s vital points.Alistair didn't even shift his footing."Foolish," Alistair said coldly.He simply flexed his fingers, releasing a single, radial shockwave of pure, condensed celestial Qi.BOOM!The incoming attacks were shattered instantly, dissolving into harmless sparks.The shockwave slammed into the charging representatives, throwing all twenty-three of them backward.They crashed violently into the stone pillars and courtyard walls, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as the ancient suppression relics overhead shattered into worthless dust.Before Zhao Chen could even regain his footing, a golden blur materialized directly in front of him."You..." Zhao Chen choked out, his eyes widening in pure horror.THUD!Alistair’s palm struck Zhao C
Chapter 686: Pay for your sins
Alistair's tone was eerily calm, but the ground beneath them began to micro-fracture, a suffocation of raw, suppressed killing intent saturating the very air of the hall. "Which sect? Which elders?”Before Master Xie could answer, a loud, arrogant burst of laughter echoed from the roof of the inner sanctuary.BOOM!The wooden ceiling shattered inward as twenty three figures descended into the courtyard, landing in a tight, defensive formation surrounding Alistair and Master Xie.Alistair recognised them as the representatives of the righteous path that the righteous sects had sent previously. He didn't think they would dare to show their face before him again after the warning he'd given them last time. Clearly, they hadn't learned their lesson yet.The person leading them was Zhao Chen and his gaze was filled with hatred as he glared at Alistair Reid.Neither he nor the rest of the twenty two representatives had forgotten the humiliation they'd suffered at Alistair's hands the last
Chapter 685: Who did this?
With a final nod to the father and daughter, Alistair turned on his heel, pushed open the doors of the Willow Rest Inn, and stepped out into the crisp morning air of Valenhold.Waiting down the street was the black SUV. The sky above was clear, the storm of the previous night fully washed away, leaving behind an open path towards new challenges.Alistair slid into the driver's seat of the black SUV, the smooth purr of the engine breaking the quiet morning calm.Navigating through the reviving streets of Valenhold, he made his way directly to the municipal airport.After leaving the vehicle with the Southern Heavenly General's logistical team, he boarded a private imperial transport bound for Haven.As the aircraft ascended into the clear sky, Alistair leaned back, his golden eyes gazing out over the passing clouds.The threat in Valenhold was neutralized, but the broader syndicate web and its high-level facilitators remained.Hours later, the transport touched down smoothly on the ta
Chapter 684: The next morning
Fiona's spirit was willing, but her body was entirely mortal, unrefined by cultivation.Moreover, his journey to the capital was imminent."I cannot stay in Valenhold to act as your master," Alistair said softly, though his tone held no cruelty. "My path takes me elsewhere tomorrow."Fiona's shoulders slumped slightly, a flash of disappointment crossing her face, but before she could speak, Alistair continued."However... if your resolve is genuine, meet me here in the dining hall tomorrow morning before I depart."Fiona snapped her head up, her wide eyes instantly lighting up with hope. "I will! I'll be here!""Rest well today," Alistair added with a subtle, encouraging nod before walking past them and heading up the stairs to his room.Once inside his private quarters, Alistair locked the door and sat cross-legged at the desk.He pulled out a blank, high-grade parchment scroll along with an ink brush.While Fiona did not possess the spiritual Dantian required for high-level cultivat
