Chapter 695: Going after the Blood Demon King's ruins
"Thank you, Arthur," Alistair said smoothly, offering a brief nod of respect. "Your arrival saved us from having to shed unnecessary blood today.""They were fools who needed to be reminded of their place," Arthur replied, resting a hand on the hilt of his primary blade.He looked at Alistair, his tone turning focused. "Now that Haven is secure, what is your next move?"Alistair looked out toward the open doors of the sanctuary, his gaze fixed on the distant western horizon.“Haven is far from secure.” Alistair remarked. “Oh?” Arthur raised a brow. “Are you aware that this city was built over an ancient ruin?”“Hmm.” Arthur pursed his lips. “I do recall that there was a ruin connected to the Blood Demon King around these parts. But I am uncertain if it is below Haven.” “Well, it is. That's the reason demonic cultivators infiltrated the Beggars sect here and began causing problems.”Arthur furrowed his brows. “They were trying to get to the treasures hidden in the ruin?”“Indeed. Th
Chapter 694: A satisfactory conclusion
"I sit in judgment over your actions, not your titles," Master Xie said smoothly, placing a heavy, golden-embossed scroll onto the table before him. "Your disciples lied to you. They fabricated claims of demonic collusion to hide their own failures and justify their greed. The Bolton family is innocent, and Haven will not be used as a battlefield for your sect politics."High above in the shadowed rafters, Alistair watched the confrontation with a cold, detached gaze.His divine intent was primed, ready to crush any sudden move from the Grand Elders the moment their aura turned lethal.Elder Lin’s face contorted with rage as he reached for the hilt of his weapon. "Nonsense! Whether they lied or not, you disgraced our sects! You will release our envoys immediately, bow your head, and hand over every single high-grade talisman in your possession as restitution, or—""Or what, Elder Lin?"A clear, razor-sharp voice echoed from the shadows near the entrance of the sanctuary.The wind insi
Chapter 693: The location of the last herb
Alistair shook his head without a second's hesitation. "I appreciate the gesture, but I have no intention of ever joining any sect. I walk my own path."Arthur let out a quiet sigh of disappointment, though he nodded in understanding, not pressing the matter further. "I expected as much. A dragon does not nest in another's den. But mark my words, Alistair—your mere existence and the strength you wield will breed terror among the leadership of the top sects. And fear always breeds foolish thoughts.""I am well aware," Alistair replied softly, his golden eyes cold and unbothered. "If they choose foolishness, I will handle them properly."Satisfied with the answer, Arthur turned to take his leave."Arthur," Alistair called out, stopping the Sword Saint in his tracks. "Before you depart, I have a question. Do you know where I might find a Nether Soul Ghost Fungus?"Arthur paused, raising an eyebrow in genuine surprise. "The Nether Soul Ghost Fungus? That is an ancient, mythical herb of th
Chapter 692: Carrying out a test
Alistair stayed silent.“Not only is that unprecedented, as previously, it would be a big deal to have a demonic advent in a year. So to have two at once is nothing short of worrying. But even more than that is the fact that you were at the locations of both events.”“And?”Arthur let out a quiet, hummed laugh, his sharp eyes crinkling slightly at the corners.He turned back toward the edge of the cliff, looking out over the flickering grid of Haven's night lights while his disciple shifted uncomfortably behind him, clearly amazed by Alistair's unbothered demeanor in front of her master."And," Arthur continued smoothly, his voice slicing through the wind, "at both locations, the demonic presence wasn't just suppressed—it was utterly obliterated, purged right down to its ancient ley-line roots. Left in its place was a residual aura so pure and untainted that it shattered the surrounding spatial boundaries. A golden, divine Qi."Arthur turned back to face Alistair, his gaze pinning the
Chapter 691: Meeting the Saint
"They have accepted the summit," Elder Zhao reported, unrolling the scroll to read the glowing crimson characters etched into the silk. "However... they view the imprisonment of their representatives as an act of war.”"They view it as an act of war?" Alistair repeated softly, a cold, dry smile touching his lips. "Then let them. All their representatives will remain in the subterranean cells until their elders arrive and answer for their conduct face-to-face. Not a single seal on them will be lifted until then."Elder Zhao’s brow furrowed with deep anxiety, his hands trembling slightly as he held the scroll. "Young Master Reid... if you refuse to release them beforehand, the sect masters will see it as a direct insult to their pride. They won't come to negotiate—they could very well attack the moment they land in Haven!""If they choose to speak with their fists instead of reason, I will be more than happy to meet them in the middle," Alistair replied, his voice entirely devoid of fea
Chapter 690: The Sword Saint
Alistair stopped in his tracks, his golden eyes narrowing into razor-sharp slits. "You threaten an entire city of innocent civilians? You call yourselves followers of the righteous path, yet you hold no honor, no mercy, and no justice.""Honor?!" Xue Ying laughed mockingly, her face bruised and bloody. "Who cares about honor?! You humiliated us! You ruined our reputation! The righteous path is whatever we say it is, and we will destroy everything you love to make you pay!"Alistair looked down at them, a cold, absolute realization settling in his mind.These people were not merely mistaken—they were a festering parasite.If he ended this here, more envoys would come, and Haven would never know peace. To protect those he cared about, he had to cull this problem at its absolute root."You have made your choice," Alistair said softly.Turning to the Boltons, Alistair offered a reassuring nod. "The threat to your home is ended for today. Rest and repair your manor.""Thank you, Master Re
