“No need!” Lady Noelle replied calmly, her face composed.
“Noelle, but I really feel like Commander Gardner…” Edie spoke up again. She glanced at Noelle’s reaction, seemingly unconvinced by her words.
“Let’s go back to the base first!” Lady interrupted her. Then she changed the subject and said, “If today’s level-up was truly due to the blessing of the country’s fortune, then we need to settle some accounts with Northfortia!”
“Alright!” Edie hesitated for a moment but didn’t dwell on her previous question.
Two minutes later, the two figures quickly disappeared into the distance.
Just as Lady Noelle had said, at the moment they broke through, the majority of martial artists from Glavale stationed in the Polar Domain also broke through one after another. Powerful auras soared into the sky, shaking the entire Polar Snow Domain. All the people in this nation bowed deeply towards the east. Excitement flickered in everyone’s eyes.
After a hundred years, Glavale finally witnessed this day.
…
In the evening, Billy, Casey, and Stout arrived at the Eastern Camp. First, they accompanied Harleen and Felicia on a trip back to Ozin. Billy specifically went to see Scarletwind Cohen. After the events of the morning, Scarletwind stayed in Ozin, worried that there might be more trouble. Billy had a brief conversation with him, and then Scarletwind took his leave.
Afterward, Billy led Casey and Stout onto a plane heading east. Their destination was naturally Veridiania and Oriana.
“Greetings, Lord Dragon!” After getting off the helicopter, the hundred thousand Eastern soldiers knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison.
The news of Billy being crowned as the Lord Dragon of the Kingdom had already spread throughout the country earlier in the morning. So, the brothers changed their address from Commander Gardner to Lord Dragon.
“Rise and speak!” Billy raised his hand.
“Thank you, Lord Dragon!” The soldiers stood up simultaneously, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Billy.
“Greetings, Young Master, I am Fabian Mills from Outer Court of Ether Mountain.” Soon, Fabian Mills led a few legion commanders and hurried over.
“Uncle Fabian, you’ve worked hard!” Billy smiled and went forward to greet them.
“A Trivial Matter, No Need to Worry!” Fabian Mills responded with a smile.
In just one day, hundreds of thousands of foreign soldiers were killed and injured along the eastern border, but in Fabian’s mouth, it became a trivial matter!
“Hello, Dean Mills!” Casey and Stout greeted Fabian Mills.
“Haha, Kimmons, you little chubby, nice to see you again!” Fabian Mills looked at the two and laughed heartily.
Soon, Billy and a few others arrived in a reception room.
“Young Master, I heard that you have welcomed the Nine Paths of National Fortune?” After everyone sat down, Fabian Mills looked at Billy and asked.
“Mhm!” Billy smiled lightly.
“The old master really has a keen eye!” Fabian Mills couldn’t help but sigh. “Throughout the centuries of Glavale’s heritage, there have been many extraordinary talents, but the one who welcomes the Nine Paths of National Fortune is undoubtedly the first!”
Less than ten minutes after the National Fortune officially arrived, he received the news. When he heard the news, he was almost shocked. As the dean of the Outer Court of Ether Mountain, his knowledge and experience naturally surpassed that of ordinary people. He was well aware of the concept of welcoming the Nine Paths of National Fortune. Before today, the highest expectation of Ether Mountain for Billy, the Young Master, was to smoothly inherit the Eight Paths of National Fortune. But the result was that the ninth path arrived, which was an unprecedented height.
The arrival of the Nine Paths of National Fortune meant that Glavale, which was unstoppable, had entered a thousand years of prosperity.
“Uncle Fabian, you’re too kind, it’s just a stroke of luck!” Billy smiled again and said, “I’m guessing you must have made a breakthrough too, right?”
“Haha, I’m just hitching a ride with your good fortune!” Fabian Mills laughed out loud. “With the blessing of the Nine Paths of National Fortune, it’s hard not to make a breakthrough!”
As he spoke, he released his spiritual power to probe Billy’s cultivation. The next moment, a look of shock appeared on his face, and after swallowing his saliva, he said, “Young Master, you… you’ve broken through to the Fourth-Rank Sovereign?!”
“Uh-huh.” Billy smiled slightly and nodded.
After getting Billy’s confirmation, Fabian Mills took a deep breath, and the look of shock on his face became even more intense. When they met at the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect last time, Billy was only at the War God-Emperor Realm Consummation, but in just over a month, he broke through four levels. Even with the blessing of the National Fortune, it shouldn’t be this exaggerated.
“Young Master, did your bloodline awaken?” After a slight pause, Fabian Mills continued to ask. As one of the core members of Ether Mountain, he had long been informed by the old man that Billy had a special bloodline, and when the bloodline awakened, it would be his time to soar.
Therefore, this was the only possibility he could think of.
“Yes!” Billy smiled again.
“Really?” Fabian Mills raised his eyebrows. “Then, Young Master, do you know what bloodline awakened in you?”
“I’m not sure about that!” Billy shook his head and asked back, “Uncle Fabian, have you heard of the Dragon Mark bloodline?”
Hearing this, Fabian Mills’ pupils contracted. “Young Master, your bloodline mark is a dragon?”
“Exactly!” Billy nodded.
After confirming this, Fabian Mills took another breath of cold air, then looked at Billy and asked, “How many people know about this?”
“Except for people around me like Casey, no one else knows for now.” Billy paused slightly and responded.
In the morning at the top of the Kun Lun Mountains, when the dragon-shaped mark appeared on his forehead, only those present on the second-level platform saw it, and no one else knew about it.
“Kimmons, inform the others and keep this matter confidential for now,” Fabian Mills said after a brief thought, looking at Casey.
“Got it!” Casey took out his phone, edited a short message, and sent it to everyone.
“Dean Mills, do you know the origin of boss’s bloodline?” Stout asked.
“I’m not particularly sure about the specific information.” Fabian Mills paused and continued, “But I once came across in an ancient book that the dragon mark bloodline is related to a very old family, which can be considered one of the oldest two families in Glavale!”
“What family?” Stout continued to ask.
“Ravenwood!” Fabian Mills responded solemnly.
“Ravenwood?” Stout exclaimed in surprise, and Casey’s face also showed astonishment.
As martial arts practitioners, they had heard of the Ravenwood family, which was one of the truly oldest families in Glavale. However, the members of this ancient family hardly interacted with the outside world, so even many martial arts practitioners had slowly forgotten this surname. But anyone who knew about this surname would never overlook its existence. Just like the family in Forgiving Village, where Azure Dragon belonged to, they rarely interacted with the outside world but couldn’t be ignored. Of course, compared to the Ravenwood family, Forgiving Village was clearly not on the same level. The latter had a history of nearly a thousand years, while the Ravenwood family’s history could be traced back thousands of years to the beginning of Glavale.
