Given Spirit Wolf and others’ temperament and their previous plans, knowing that they were certain to die, at this moment when Earl Woods and the North Kingdom envoy team were right in front of them, they were ready to blow up their bodies and perish with these bastards using the Buddha bone powder!
However! When they turned their heads and looked at Cecilia, Cecilia’s eyes were filled with tears, she bit her teeth, but shook her head at them, indicating that they should not act rashly, should not be impulsive, should not do stupid things!!!
Staying alive was more important than anything!
Before coming out of the Palace of Wolf, Cecilia told them that she had a way to save Sean, but the premise was that she needed their cooperation, she needed them to stay alive!
Otherwise! Everyone would die!!!
This! It was the only reason why Spirit Wolf and the others hesitated at this moment. They were not afraid of death, but they didn’t want their impulsiveness to ruin Cecilia’s plan and thus lose the chance to rescue Sean!
“Miss Moore!”
“Please!”
Several members of the North Kingdom envoy team came up to Cecilia, Julia, and Pupil Wolf. They extended their hands and indicated, “If Miss Moore is not daring enough to die and doesn’t want to enjoy the same treatment as them, please get in the car!”
Without hesitation, Cecilia turned around and walked straight to one of the wedding luxury cars, opened the door, and got in!
Actually! If she wanted, Cecilia could choose to activate Liane Field’s blood drop now, temporarily borrow the mighty bloodline and soul possession of Liane Field, and acquire unparalleled combat power to slaughter!
She could kill Earl Woods and the entire North Kingdom envoy team right in front of the Palace of Wolf!
However! Cecilia couldn’t! She couldn’t do that! The reason was simple, she only had a short time of about ten minutes, and she had to use these ten minutes to save Sean. The Palace of Wolf was ten miles away from the royal city. If she started killing here, after killing everyone, she wouldn’t have time to rush to the royal city!
So! She must first go to the royal city and find out about Sean’s situation!
“Take those two as well!”
After Cecilia got into the car, Earl Woods’ gaze fell on Julia and Pupil Wolf. He laughed and said, “In bed, I can handle three women at once!”
“Haha!”
“After I have my fun, I’ll let you have some fun too!”
At the sound of his words! Julia and Pupil Wolf were both furious, but they chose to trust Cecilia and didn’t rush to fight Earl Woods there and then!
So! They, holding Phyllis, also got into the car with Cecilia!
And Phyllis! From beginning to end, she didn’t say a word, she just sat in Julia’s arms, quietly watching, her eyes already moist, radiating a never-before-seen look of hatred!
“Let’s go!”
“Back to the royal city!”
Everything went smoothly, Earl Woods was very pleased, naturally, he wouldn’t stay here for long, because his real target was King Ron, not Cecilia!
All this! It was just a show for King Ron!
He! He was also eager to return to the royal city to implement the next plan!
The wedding procession turned around and headed for the royal city. The citizens around were filled with rage, with curses filling the air. Some cursed Sean, some cursed Cecilia, some cursed the members of the Bloody Wolf Group, some cursed Earl Woods and the North Kingdom envoy team!
Even! Some people were quietly cursing King Ron!
Among the crowd! The faces of Tim Lewis and other members of the four major families were solemn, as they watched Cecilia being captured. Especially, they watched Spirit Wolf being shackled and dragged behind one of the luxury cars!
Compared to Cecilia, the person they cared about more was Spirit Wolf!
Because! Only Spirit Wolf had the antidote they needed!
“Follow them!”
Tim Lewis clenched his teeth, waved his hand, and immediately led the people from the four major families to follow the procession. Although they didn’t dare to jump out and seize the people, they also didn’t want to just sit and wait to die!
So! They could only wait for the right opportunity!
On the contrary! Seeing Julia holding Phyllis getting into the car and hearing Earl Woods threatening to harm both Julia and Pupil Wolf, Prince Adam in the crowd went pale. However, he didn’t follow the procession to the royal city but turned into a shadow and quickly ran in another direction, disappearing in the crowded streets in the blink of an eye!
That! Was the direction to the mansion…
At that time, within the royal city, under the Hall of Throne, in the underground altar, everything was happening as Earl Woods had anticipated. Every action at the gate of the Palace of Wolf was under the watchful eye of King Ron.
In the underground altar, a portion of the wall had split apart, revealing a large screen. Displayed on it was the scene outside the Palace of Wolf. To put it simply, someone was filming the situation outside the Palace of Wolf and broadcasting it in real-time on this big screen. King Ron, without leaving the altar, could just sit quietly and watch the live broadcast of the scene outside the Palace of Wolf.
And Sean, of course, could see it too! After being soaked in blood water for the whole night, Sean’s body had begun to swell. The bright energy in his core had recovered significantly.
Seeing Earl Woods’ arrogant and domineering demeanor on the big screen, Cecilia’s tearful and haggard face, the humiliating scene of Spirit Wolf and others being seriously injured and bound, and Phyllis’s eyes filled with an unprecedented hatred… Sean felt as if a ball of raging anger was burning wildly in his heart. His brows were filled with bone-chilling murderous intent.
“Bastard!” A low and gloomy voice came from between his teeth. Originally, Sean thought his only enemy was King Ron. Therefore, he had teamed up with Lilies Archer to make a plan specifically aimed at King Ron. However, he had never dreamt that Earl Woods would choose this crucial moment to bring the North Kingdom delegation to the royal city of Shirine Empire, discussing a ceasefire agreement with King Ron.
As a result, Cecilia and the others were all implicated, suffered great humiliation, and their lives were in jeopardy!
“Can’t handle it?” King Ron sat on the jade pillar in the center of the altar, laughing, “The real show I’ve prepared for you is yet to begin! Imagine this; you become my sacrifice here, your bloodline drained by me, your core’s bright energy sucked dry, slowly turning into a mummy, dying bit by bit.”
“While waiting for death, you can watch your comrades being killed by your enemies, one by one. You can see your wife and friends being slaughtered by your enemies, one after another…”
“This unique way of dying is fitting for your status as the Northern Wolf King. It can relieve my hatred. It can make up for the sins your mother committed. If Ashby knows about this in the afterlife, he should be able to rest in peace. Because you will die a more miserable death than him!”
King Ron finished speaking and didn’t give Sean a chance to respond. He suddenly reached out his right hand and grabbed Sean. Accompanied by the sound of water, Sean was pulled out of the blood pool in the altar.
Then, raising his right hand above his head, he held Sean aloft. The next moment, an unexpected scene occurred. King Ron activated some mechanism, and spikes suddenly emerged from the edge of the altar, like tentacles, stabbing towards Sean, who was held aloft by King Ron. There were as many as ten spikes!
Moreover, these spikes, like the altar, were carved from jade. The bottom was about as thick as a baby’s wrist, and the tip was as thin as a needle, and it was hollow!
It was as if… they were the needles used in hospitals for injections or blood draws! However, like the entire altar being a giant cauldron, those ten spikes were all giant-sized needles!
Puff! Puff! Puff puff puff puff puff…
In just the blink of an eye, ten spikes almost simultaneously pierced Sean’s flesh from different directions, entering his body! Some pierced Sean’s feet! Some pierced Sean’s legs! Some pierced Sean’s hands! Some pierced Sean’s arms! Two others pierced Sean’s chest and lower abdomen!
They penetrated about five centimeters deep. Then, King Ron slowly let go of his grip, and Sean was brutally held aloft by the ten spikes, suspended above King Ron’s head.
Soon, fresh blood flowed from Sean’s body, following the hollow interior of the ten spikes, flowing downward, ultimately seeping into the jade at the edge of the altar from different angles.
King Ron had said before, only the fresh blood of a Bright Realm cultivator could truly ignite the soul-devouring formation in the altar. Only Sean’s powerful bloodline and vigorous bright energy could help him repair his damaged core.
Thus, as Sean’s blood continued to flow down the ten spikes into the jade of the altar, the originally crystal-clear jade gradually changed color. It looked as if it had been thoroughly dyed by Sean’s blood, faintly emitting a blood-red glow.
Even the King of Night, standing not far from the altar, couldn’t help but get excited, saying, “Congratulations, Your Majesty. As you wished, the soul-devouring formation has been activated!”
In other words, King Ron had waited an entire night. After confirming that Lilies Archer hadn’t secretly poisoned Sean’s bloodline, he finally made his move against Sean, using the opportunity of Earl Woods’ marriage to Cecilia.
Finally, he was about to start repairing his own core! Finally, was it beginning?
Sean, nailed in mid-air by the ten spikes, gritted his teeth to bear the excruciating pain throughout his body. He looked down at the jade altar that was gradually glowing red, and took a deep breath, feeling somewhat excited.
Because he had suffered so much, so much hardship, from Fort South to the capital, he had been waiting. Waiting for today! Waiting for the moment when King Ron would seize his bloodline and absorb his bright energy!
Actually, Earl Woods’ previous guess was correct. Sean’s bright energy was indeed poisoned by Lilies Archer!
Hiding poison in bright energy was a unique method of Lilies Archer, who had a poisonous bloodline. Even King Ron had never thought of this. The blood pool of the altar could only detect poison in Sean’s bloodline, but not the poison hidden in Sean’s bright energy core.
This was why Lilies Archer dared to cooperate with Sean, bet her own fate, and dared to make a move against King Ron!
The poison that Lilies Archer hid in Sean’s bright energy core was something she had meticulously developed over the years in Fort South, specifically targeting King Ron’s damaged core.
Although Earl Woods was poisoned by Sean earlier, he was not a Bright Realm cultivator and his core was not yet open. Even though he was poisoned, it was not lethal and he quickly forced the poison out of his system.
But King Ron was different! If he dared to massively devour Sean’s bright energy, absorbing the poisoned bright energy into his own core for refinement, then he still wanted to repair his core?
Dream on!
His already damaged core would be completely destroyed!!!
At this moment, King Ron was immersed in the joy and pride of his imminent success. He never thought that at this point, Sean would have any chance of turning the tables. He turned his head to look at the King of Night, signalling, “This is a matter of great importance, concerning our very lives!”
“Therefore…”
“I have to trouble you, King of Night, to personally sweep the formation for me, lead the royal guards to guard the entrance of the underground altar, keep a close eye on the delegation from the North Kingdom, and prevent them from openly repairing the road while secretly preparing for an attack, disrupting my final gambit at the critical moment!”
King Ron was not a fool!
Earl Woods, who could have come earlier or later, chose to arrive just when Sean was captured and when King Ron needed to repair his core, leading a full twenty Complete Stage practitioners to discuss a cease-fire agreement. Clearly, he had received some news, and his interest was not in the wine!
Therefore, one must be vigilant!!!
“Your Majesty, rest assured!”
The King of Night said in a deep voice, “Unless they step over my corpse, no one can come in and destroy your plan!”
After speaking, the King of Night turned around and walked away, opening the cold iron door of the underground altar and leaving without hesitation!
At this time, the hundreds of royal guards in the entire royal city were divided into two groups!
One group, led by the King of Night, gathered at the entrance of the underground altar, specifically responsible for guarding the safety of the underground altar!
The other group was led by the Grand Commander Eliott Garner, specifically responsible for watching every move of Earl Woods and the delegation from the North Kingdom!
However, even the shrewd King Ron and King of Night, in their wildest dreams, would never think that Eliott Garner, the Grand Commander of the royal guards, who was deeply trusted by King Ron, was in fact an undercover spy planted by the North Kingdom in the royal city of the Shirine Empire!
Little did they know, the top-secret matter of King Ron’s core being damaged, as well as King Ron’s capture of Sean, intending to use Sean’s powerful bloodline to repair his own core, were all leaked to the North Kingdom by Eliott Garner in secret!
He, Eliott Garner, was the real, genuine, absolute traitor!!!
