“Are you people from Glavale?” The elderly man looked at Fabian Mills and spoke in a deep voice.
In the Eastern region, besides people from Glavale, he couldn’t think of any other possibility for someone so audacious to come running to the Xidengia Imperial Palace!
“Congratulations, you guessed right!” Fabian Mills replied.
“You two have quite the nerve! Do you even know where you are?” The old man continued.
“Enough talk. If you don’t want your Imperial Palace to turn into a river of blood, make way for everyone immediately!” Fabian Mills said coldly.
“It seems like you’re tired of living!” A middle-aged man behind the old man roared and took a few steps forward, raising his hand to strike Fabian.
“Die!” Fabian narrowed his eyes, and a chilling blade aura swiftly slashed out.
“Sam, be careful!” The old man on the other side exclaimed, raising his hand to try and block Fabian’s blade.
However, as a Sixth-rank cultivator, he couldn’t block this attack. The blade passed through his attack, flashing past the middle-aged man’s throat.
“…” The man opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound, falling straight to the ground, convulsing a few times before going still.
“Damn it, you deserve to die!” The old man shouted in anger.
“You still won’t move aside? Very well!” Megrez looked at the old man and spoke solemnly, “Fabian, slay another hundred!”
“Alright!” Fabian nodded in response.
As soon as he spoke, countless blade auras shot out with unstoppable force. After the blade auras passed, dozens of figures fell to the ground. Just like the people at the gate earlier, they had no chance to resist, convulsing a few times before taking their last breath.
“Fight them! Attack together, kill them!” The old man roared, raising his hand and charging at Fabian.
“Kill!” The two to three thousand palace guards shouted in unison, raising their weapons and following suit.
“You dare to seek death, I’ll grant your wish!” Megrez spoke in a deep voice, smashing out several gusts of wind with his hands, causing a fierce gale to howl. The gusts of wind caused numerous blood mists to appear in the air.
“Stop!”
Just at that moment, another voice echoed through the courtyard of the imperial palace. At the same time, several powerful auras swept from deep within the palace, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard. The overwhelming pressure made the ordinary guards pale, trembling, and many of them even collapsed to the ground.
Soon, ten figures appeared before Lord Megrez and Fabian Mills like ghosts. Without exception, they were all Sovereign experts at the later stages. Two at the ninth rank, three at the eighth rank, and five at the seventh rank. These ten people were currently the strongest guardians in the Imperial Palace of Xidengia.
“You people from Glavale are too audacious! Are you trying to provoke a full-scale war?” A blue-robed old man from the opposing side looked at Megrez and spoke in a deep voice.
“Idiot!” Before Megrez could respond, Fabian spoke coldly, “If Xidengia has the courage to start a full-scale war, we’re ready to accompany you at any time!”
“You…” The blue-robed old man responded angrily.
“Shut up!” The leader, a white-haired old man, sternly rebuked. Glaring at Megrez, he asked, “This is the Palace. What brings you both here?”
As he spoke, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes; he couldn’t detect Megrez’s true martial arts cultivation. If Megrez had not concealed his aura deliberately, Xidengia would be in trouble today.
“When you sent people to assassinate my compatriots, did you not expect us to come to your palace?” Megrez calmly spoke.
“I’m not quite sure what you mean!” the white-haired elder’s eyes revealed a hint of unease, growing stronger by the moment.
“Still playing dumb, old man!” Fabian retorted with a cold voice. “Your men sent to the arena should have engaged in battle with our people! You think highly of Glavale by dispatching half of your palace’s defense force! But even so, I’m afraid your people won’t be coming back!”
Hearing this, the white-haired elder no longer pretended. He let out a heavy sigh. Then, he looked at the Lord of Megrez and spoke solemnly, “I really don’t know what you’re relying on! As far as I know, the strongest among your people is just a Ninth-rank Sovereign. If the battle were to break out, your two or three hundred men wouldn’t last ten minutes!”
The mention of a Ninth-rank Sovereign referred to Opal Fraley. Today, at the arena, Opal deliberately revealed her cultivation when she killed the leader of Northfortia. Therefore, they received the news immediately.
“Ignorant!” Fabian scoffed. “Those two Ninth-rank old fogies you sent ain’t enough for Fairy Opal. Yet, you dare to boast so shamelessly!”
“What do you mean?” the white-haired elder asked again, his brows furrowing.
“Heh, why don’t you guess!” Fabian responded with a cold smile.
“Call Miller!” The white-haired elder’s pupils contracted as he turned to a man behind him and spoke.
“Alright!” The man nodded and took out his phone to make the call. However, after ringing for a while, no one answered. He tried two or three more times, but the result was the same.
“What’s happening?” the white-haired elder asked.
“Sir, Lord Miller’s phone is not being answered!” the man shook his head.
“Call others!” The white-haired elder turned to several people behind him and spoke in a deep voice.
“Understood!” The seven or eight individuals responded in unison, and they all took out their phones to make calls.
Yet, the result was identical. Not a single call was answered.
“Damn it!” The white-haired elder’s heart sank.
“Enough, I don’t have time to waste with you here!” Megrez spoke up. “If you’re going to make a move, do it now. Otherwise, get out of here and have your king come see me!”
The white-haired elder let out another breath and looked at him. “This is the Palace of Xidengia. Outsiders cannot act recklessly. If you want to see our king, you must pass this test!”
“Fine!” Megrez didn’t waste any more words. His aura instantly surged, and he swiftly rushed towards the dozen or so people in front of him. With a flick of his hand, violent palm strikes erupted, sweeping through like a hurricane.
“Attack together, stop him!” the white-haired elder raised his hand to meet the oncoming force.
“Kill!” The others launched their attacks simultaneously, channeling their full power one after another.
