“Give you two minutes, and if Aiden Yade doesn’t come out, everyone dies!” Fabian responded in a low voice.
“I warn you, this is Xidengia, not your Glavale!” Tesley took a deep breath and replied. “If you dare to cause trouble here, I guarantee you won’t make it back to Glavale!”
“So, you’re unwilling to call him out?” Fabian spoke again, “In that case…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure taller than him by half a head walked out, and without saying a word, struck a palm towards Tesley. This person was none other than Megrez Sims, one of the four guardians of Ether Mountain, and the North Hall Master.
“Young Master, be careful!” an old man sensed the power of Megrez’s palm and quickly shouted. At the same time, he stepped forward and raised his hand, sending out a palm strike, but he clearly overestimated himself and underestimated the guardians of Ether Mountain.
Without any surprise, in front of Megrez, the opponent’s attacks were ineffective. After two muffled sounds, both of them were turned into blood mist, leaving behind only scattered traces of blood on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Fabian coughed; he hadn’t finished speaking yet.
“Young Master!” at the next moment, cries of pain rang out at the scene.
“Take action!” Megrez waved his hand.
“Sir, kill or cripple?” a black-robed man asked.
“The young master has given the order, leave no one alive, so naturally, kill!” Megrez replied.
“Understood!” including Fabian, the twenty people rushed out simultaneously.
The opponents, numbering in the hundreds, at most had just broken through to the Sovereign Realm. They couldn’t put up any resistance against the powerhouses from Ether Mountain. But in the blink of an eye, almost a hundred people lay on the ground, every single one of them killed with a single strike.
“We’re no match for them, run!” a man shouted and quickly fled to the side.
The others also lost all will to fight and discarded their weapons, escaping in all directions. However, since Fabian and the others had already initiated their killing intent, how could they let them escape? They raised their hands and sent out waves of Chi that swept through the surroundings like a landslide and tsunami.
In less than a few minutes, there were less than two hundred people left standing. The courtyard square was filled with severed limbs and blood, flowing like a river.
“Damn it, you deserve to die!” just at that moment, an extremely angry voice of an old man rang out.
Following that, a group of people quickly ran out from deep within the estate, numbering around forty to fifty people.
The leader of the group was none other than the current head of the Yade family, Joel Yade. Most of the people behind him were core members of the family.
“Where is Tesley?” Joel grabbed a guard and asked.
“Young Master… Young Master was… killed by them.” the guard struggled to speak, “He… He was turned into a blood mist with a single palm strike, nothing left…”
“What?!” Joel roared, “Damn it, how dare they kill my son! I want everyone to pay with their lives!” As he spoke, he forcefully increased the strength in his hand, and the guard also turned into a blood mist. Then, with a fierce expression, he looked at a family member beside him and shouted angrily, “Call the palace and ask them to send someone over!”
“Yes!” the family member nodded vigorously and took out his phone to make the call. However, after dialing for a while, the call didn’t go through. Looking at the phone screen again, the expression on his face turned extremely ugly.
“Did you get through?” Joel asked loudly.
“Sir, there’s a… problem…” the family member responded with difficulty.
“What’s the problem?” Joel angrily asked.
“The phone has no signal!” the family member responded again.
After a brief moment of shock, the other core members of the Yade family took out their phones and checked.
As expected!
The hearts of everyone skipped a beat simultaneously. This was cutting off their only way out. Could it be that they were going to annihilate the Yade family? What did the family do to offend someone?!
“Damn it!” Joel cursed again and took a few big steps towards Megrez, who was about twenty to thirty meters away. Then he spoke in a grim voice, “This is the Yade family. Have you thought about the consequences of what you’re doing?”
“Are you the current head of the Yade family?” Megrez glanced at him and said, “Do you know where the honor of your family comes from?”
“What do you mean?” Joel was slightly taken aback.
“It’s because your ancient, Aiden Yade, led people to kill tens of thousands of us in Glavale a hundred years ago!” Megrez’s gaze turned cold. “Today, I’m here to wipe out your entire family in revenge for those Glavale compatriots he brutally murdered. It’s only fair, isn’t it?”
“You dare!” Joel trembled all over and paused for a moment before continuing. “If you dare to annihilate my family, Xidengia will never let you off the hook. Even Glavale will be affected! A hundred years ago, we Xidengia could trample Glavale under our feet. Today, we still have that strength!”
“You’re really foolish!” Megrez responded calmly. “A hundred years later, not only Xidengia, even Northfortia, we Glavale don’t care about them anymore! Whether you believe it or not, now Glavale only needs half a month to destroy your Xidengia and make your country perish!”
“Shameless boasting!” Joel sneered, “Anyone can talk big. If you have the guts, go ahead and see if you can…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Megrez waved his hand and several gusts of wind swept through, turning several core members of the Yade family into blood mist.
“You scoundrel, die!” Joel roared and activated his full power, charging towards Megrez with his twelve-fold strength. He was a cultivator of the sixth rank Sovereign Realm, and he went all out with his attack.
A powerful wave of Chi surged towards Megrez.
“You, as the head of the Yade family, this is all the strength you have?” Megrez stood still and spoke calmly. As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, causing the Qi wave to collide with Joel’s palm wind.
The difference in their strengths was like night and day. In an instant, Joel’s arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist, disappearing without a trace. This was clearly a deliberate move by Megrez. Otherwise, the blood mist would not have been confined to just his arm.
“Ah…” Joel let out a scream and staggered backward for over a dozen steps.
“Do you know why I didn’t kill you?” Megrez spoke calmly, “I just wanted to show you that I have the guts to wipe out the Yade family!”
After a few more minutes, all the core members of the Yade family who had come out with Joel were lying on the ground, killed by Fabian and the others. Not one of them survived.
“You scoundrels, Xidengia won’t let you get away with this…” Joel sat on the ground, his face full of despair. He knew very well that the Yade family was finished. This time, they were truly done for.
The Yade family rose to power because of events a hundred years ago, and now, they were being wiped out for the same reasons. The cycle of cause and effect had been set in motion a long time ago. Everything was predetermined.
“Aiden Yade, won’t you show yourself?” Megrez shouted loudly towards the depths of the estate, his voice echoing throughout the entire compound.
