“Indeed!” White Tiger spoke at the same time. “And many of them have strong cultivation!”
“They must have discovered something about yesterday’s incident. They’re probably searching for people all over the city,” Vermilion Bird nodded in agreement.
“Casey, should we leave Nordhaven City first and come back when our brother-in-law arrives?” Felicia looked at Casey and asked. “Hmm!” Casey thought for a moment and nodded. “Let’s withdraw from Nordhaven City for now!”
“Alright!” Azure Dragon and the others nodded in unison.
A few minutes later, the group got into the car and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
“Stout, didn’t you say Belina would wake up at noon? Why is Aquilandia making moves so quickly?” Black Tortoise asked Stout in the car.
“Well…” Stout smacked his lips. “I don’t know. It shouldn’t be because of her.”
“Although what’s done yesterday seemed flawless, Garrard will discover many clues once he calms down.” Casey responded.
“That’s true!” Black Tortoise nodded.
“But no matter what, we have achieved our goal. Whether he finds out or not is no longer important.” Casey added.
As the group chatted, the snow carriage had already left Nordhaven City.
After about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a small hill about forty to fifty kilometers away from Nordhaven City.
“Everyone, get off the car!” Casey’s eyebrows furrowed and he spoke in a deep voice.
Azure Dragon and the others were slightly stunned. However, no one hesitated, including Stout in the driver’s seat. They all quickly got off the car. Almost at the same time they left the carriage, a tremendous surge of energy rushed towards them like a hurricane. The violent energy wave directly hit the snow carriage, instantly reducing it to dust. The two powerful polar mastiffs were both turned into blood mist. The power and momentum of this move alone indicated that the person who arrived was definitely a Saint Realm powerhouse.
“You people from Glavale are seeking death!” Immediately after, an angry voice of an old man came.
Then, two figures descended from the sky and landed several hundred meters away, each exuding a murderous aura. At the same time, the sound of wheels approaching could be heard not far away. Soon, dozens of snow carriages appeared within Casey and the others’ sight, with twenty to thirty people sitting in each carriage.
Seeing this scene, Stout couldn’t help but curse. While speaking, he took out several pills from his body and handed them to Casey and the others. “Take these pills.”
“What are these?” Black Tortoise took one of them and threw it directly into his mouth.
“Antidote!” Stout replied.
“Antidote?” Black Tortoise was slightly taken aback. “Antidote for what?”
“You’ll know soon enough!” Stout shrugged his shoulders.
“Felicia, call boss!” After swallowing the pill, Casey’s face turned serious as he instructed Felicia. As he spoke, his heart sank several times. The opponent’s formation far exceeded his expectations. Just the two old men at the forefront made him feel a sense of powerlessness. One of the old men was already a Third-rank Saint, and the other was not weak either, a Second-rank Saint. Moreover, besides these two, there were many experts in the snow carriages, including more than ten Ninth-rank Sovereigns and Half-Step Saint powerhouses.
For Casey and his group, this formation was almost a desperate situation.
“Hmm.” Felicia took out her phone with a serious expression and made the call.
“You bastards, did you have something to do with the princess’s incident?” At this moment, the leading black-robed old man looked at Casey and the others and spoke angrily.
“Are you people from Aquilandia?” Azure Dragon replied loudly. “Everyone in Nordhaven City knows that incident was caused by the Guardians. Why are you looking for us?”
Casey knew that the enemy’s formation was something they couldn’t handle at all. They could only delay and hope that Billy would arrive soon, or else they would be in big trouble today.
“Still trying to argue!” the black-robed old man said coldly. “Do you think you’ve done everything flawlessly? How ignorant! You might not know this, but out of the thirty inns in Nordhaven City, twenty-five of them are owned by people from Aquilandia. Including the one you stayed in last night!”
“And then?” Azure Dragon continued.
“A few hours before the princess had an accident, you were not in the inn, but as soon as she had an accident, you returned to your room.” The old man continued. “Furthermore, this morning, we just started patrolling Nordhaven City, and you guys checked out of the inn. Don’t tell me this is all just a coincidence!”
“That’s it?” White Tiger replied. “Based on these baseless speculations, you’ve concluded that we were behind this?”
“Mr Bossen, don’t waste time with them!” the other blue-robed old man said. “Whether it was them or not, kill them first and ask questions later! The city lord ordered that anyone from Glavale who dares to appear in the north should be killed on sight!”
“Idiots!” Stout retorted loudly. “If you have the guts, give it a try! I promise, if you dare to make a move, none of you will leave here alive!”
“You’re so ignorant!” the blue-robed old man snorted. “Today, none of you will survive!” After speaking, his tone suddenly turned heavy. “Let’s start with you!”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, he took two steps forward and then raised his hand, sending a powerful gust of wind towards Stout.
“Stout, be careful!” Casey said as he gripped his war knife to meet the attack with a cold light.
Bang!
After a muffled sound, Casey quickly retreated thirty to forty steps before coming to a stop. Deep footprints were left on the solid ice beneath him. The opponent was a Second-rank Saint, and even with just a casual move, it was still not something he could easily handle.
“Casey, are you okay?” Felicia called out.
“I’m okay!” Casey suppressed the surging blood in his heart and walked back.
“Not bad, you managed to take my palm!” the blue-robed old man said coldly. “But with your strength, you won’t be able to protect them!” After speaking, he waved his hand. “Surround them, don’t let anyone escape!”
Upon hearing his words, the hundreds of people who had gotten off the snow carriages all moved at once. In no time, they surrounded Casey and the others in the middle.
“Casey, I’ll clear a path for you. Take Felicia and the others and go first!” Stout surveyed the surroundings quickly and then rushed towards the weakest opponent behind him. That position had the weakest fighting power.
“Stout, look out!” Felicia and Rakshasa both shouted at the same time, their faces filled with worry.
“Follow me!” Stout replied loudly.
“You really want to die!” a Ninth-rank Sovereign man from the enemy side said coldly as he watched Stout charge towards him. Then, he exerted his full power and met Stout head-on.
