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
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
