Upon seeing this, the leaders of the royal guards showed a touch of confusion on their faces!
“What’s going on?”
They exchanged glances, with one of them shouting at Pupil Wolf, Julia, and the others: “Stop!”
Then, with a wave of his right hand, he signaled to the guards behind him: “Go!”
“Surround them!”
When Pupil Wolf, Julia, and the others were still dozens of meters away from the palace gate, hundreds of royal guards charged over, encircling them!
Damn it! Seeing the deployment of troops in front of the palace gate, especially the guard leaders in the Late Stage, the faces of Pupil Wolf, Julia, Spirit Wolf, and others immediately turned extremely ugly!
It seemed they were heading into the mouth of the wolf!
Facing such a lineup, with their wounded bodies, even if they fought to the death, the hope of getting Phyllis safely out of the palace was slim!
“Bastards!”
Phyllis suddenly stopped crying, wiping her tears and glaring at the surrounding guards, her childish voice, slightly hoarse with anger, shouted: “You’re all bastards!”
“I’ll fight you!”
The matter with Cecilia had greatly affected Phyllis, who now wanted more than ever to be a heroine, to drive off these villains, and to protect her mother!
Meanwhile, outside the palace, the sudden appearance of Pupil Wolf, Julia, and others quickly drew the attention of the citizens. All eyes were instantly focused on them!
Pointing and whispering, the crowd was abuzz!
Of course, this included Tim Lewis and others from the four major families anxiously waiting in the crowd!
“Spirit Wolf!”
“Look!”
“It’s Spirit Wolf, Spirit Wolf has come out of the palace!!!”
Seeing Pupil Wolf and Julia in front, the people from the four major families were stunned. Then, seeing Spirit Wolf following behind, their eyes lit up with excitement!
Spirit Wolf!
The reason they stayed here and didn’t leave, looking for a chance to save Sean, was just one part of it. The more important reason was to save Spirit Wolf!
They had no choice! Who else could cure the poison in their bodies but Spirit Wolf, who held their lives in his hand!
“Three are missing!”
Benedict Young, the head of the Young family in the capital, quickly noticed something was off and said in a deep voice: “Two members of the Bloody Wolf Group are missing, and Miss Moore is not among them! It looks bad!”
This was the palace of the Shirine Empire! Heavily guarded! Full of cultivators!
Cecilia and others were arrested for treason, survival was difficult, so Benedict Young naturally didn’t dare to think they had managed to escape from the palace. He subconsciously thought that Cecilia had given up her life to save the lives of Pupil Wolf, Spirit Wolf, and others!
“Good!”
“Great!”
Aron Lawson, the head of the Lawson family in the capital, exclaimed excitedly: “As long as Spirit Wolf gets out alive, our lives are saved!”
“As for Mr Mason and Miss Moore…”
“Hehe!”
“Let’s just pray for their good fortune!!!”
Before, they had to ally with Sean out of fear of his power, obeying Sean’s orders!
Now, as long as Spirit Wolf was alive, they could live!
So, Sean’s fate was no longer so important to them. They were not members of the Bloody Wolf Group, and they did not have such a deep relationship with Sean. They would not be foolish enough to oppose the royal family in order to save Sean!
“Don’t celebrate too soon!”
Rocco Lewis, the head of the Lewis family in the capital, stared at Pupil Wolf, Spirit Wolf, and others, who were surrounded by the royal guards, and said gravely: “Something’s not right!”
“You see! It seems like they didn’t get released, but escaped!!!”
Release and escape, they were two completely different concepts!
If they were released, it meant that Pupil Wolf, Spirit Wolf, and others had received King Ron’s pardon and were allowed to leave the palace, so naturally, no one would stop them along the way!
On the contrary, if they escaped, the trouble would be significant. If the four major families wanted to rescue Spirit Wolf, they would have to snatch him from the royal guards, and they would inevitably have to oppose the royal family!
“This…”
Due to the distance being too far, nearly a hundred meters away, they couldn’t hear the conversation between Pupil Wolf and his men and the royal guards. However, upon seeing the tense atmosphere from afar, it was clear to any discerning person that the situation didn’t seem good!
Benedict Young and Aron Lawson glanced at each other, their faces instantly turning dark.
Damn it! Was all this excitement for nothing?
“Grandpa Tim!”
Rocco Lewis turned to look at Tim Lewis, speaking in a deep voice, “They were just escorted into the imperial city by Earl Woods and Pierre Calder, personally welcomed by Eliott Garner, with the royal guards heavily guarding the palace. Given their power and current state, they absolutely couldn’t have escaped under the watch of Earl Woods, Eliott Garner, Pierre Calder, and the numerous royal guards!”
“So, there are only two possibilities!”
“Either they received His Majesty’s pardon!”
“Or something significant has happened inside the palace, distracting the cultivators, allowing them to escape…”
It has to be said that as the head of the Lewis family of the capital, Rocco Lewis had very keen insight.
A change of events?
Hearing Rocco Lewis’s words, everyone was stunned, their hearts trembled fiercely, and a name involuntarily surfaced in their minds.
“You’re saying…”
The head of the Davidson family from the capital, Ruben Davidson, spoke softly, “Could it be that Mr. Mason was captured by the King of Night and brought into the palace, not to await his fate passively, but to feign weakness while plotting something?”
Sean! Everyone thought of Sean!!!
After all, throughout the entire Shirine Empire, besides King Ron, only Sean had entered the Bright Realm, demonstrating extraordinary combat power. Probably only a top cultivator like Sean could stir up a storm in the vast palace!
Otherwise, any Complete Stage cultivator would barely make a splash under the slaughter of the hundreds of royal guards!
However, they could never have dreamed that indeed there was a Bright Realm cultivator stirring up a storm in the palace, but it wasn’t Sean, it was Sean’s wife, Cecilia!
“Kill!”
“Kill them all!”
Almost the moment Ruben Davidson’s words fell, a furious shout from the captain of the royal guards echoed from the opposite side, sparking the battle. Hundreds of royal guards moved together, raising their weapons, swarming towards Pupil Wolf and his men who were trapped in the middle!
A wave of shock swept through the crowd outside the palace, and the common people gasped in surprise.
“Not good!”
Tim Lewis, who had been silent all along, suddenly changed his expression, coldly saying, “Your crow’s mouths were right!”
“They really did escape from the palace!”
“Otherwise, the royal guards wouldn’t be out for their blood!!!”
The people from the four great families looked at each other, their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot, all looking towards Tim Lewis.
“Master Tim!”
“Grandpa Tim!”
Among those present, only Tim Lewis was a Complete Stage cultivator. So, he was their backbone. They urgently asked, “What do we do now?”
“Save them?”
“Or not???”
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf were severely injured, being killed by hundreds of royal guards. There were nine hundred more guards outside the palace gate. The situation seemed utterly hopeless!
Boom!
As they hesitated, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded from the other side. When they looked up, they saw one of the Bloody Wolf Group members had chosen to self-destruct under the onslaught of the royal guards!
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, dark energy rippled, and the royal guards surrounding the Bloody Wolf Group member were blasted away!
What was even stranger was that within a radius of ten or so meters from where the Bloody Wolf Group member self-destructed, dozens of royal guards seemed momentarily paralyzed and stopped their attack!
Were they scared? Of course not!
It was the Buddha Bone Powder on the Bloody Wolf Group member that had taken effect!!!
“My dark energy…”
“What’s going on?”
“My dark energy seems to be shackled, I can’t mobilize it at all!!!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as they were panicking, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf, these two middle-stage cultivators, rushed into the crowd, unleashing a mad massacre!!!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf immediately saw red. This opportunity was bought with the lives of their comrades. It was hard-won, so naturally, they would spare no effort. They would kill as many as they could!!!
In the blink of an eye! Dozens of royal guards lay dead on the ground!
Blood flowed like a river!
Among them! There was even a Late Stage royal guard leader!!!
The sudden change left everyone dumbfounded, no one could have imagined that the Bloody Wolf Group members were so ferocious when they fought for their lives, so desperate, they didn’t hesitate to self-destruct!
Too ruthless! And the eerie effect of the Buddha Bone Powder left the royal guards dumbstruck, their hearts trembling!
The unknown is the most terrifying!
So much so! After those dozens of royal guards were all killed, the remaining guards were so scared they all retreated, pulling out of the battle circle, not daring to approach Pupil Wolf and the others!
Even the Late Stage royal guard leaders, their pupils shrank, staring at Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf in shock, gritting their teeth and saying, “You rebels, if you surrender now, I can make your deaths quick!”
Clearly!
Seeing the tragic death of the previous royal guard leader, they were somewhat horrified!
“Cut the crap!”
Pupil Wolf, holding a three-foot steel knife snatched from a royal guard, once again used his pupil technique. His angry eyes glowed with a strange red light. He walked at the forefront, shouting, “Weren’t you going to kill us?”
“Come on!”
“A bunch of cowards!”
“If you dare, come and die, otherwise, get out of the way!!!”
So! A very strange scene ensued. Dozens of majestic royal guards were actually forced to continually retreat by Pupil Wolf and others, who were seriously injured!
Pupil Wolf moved forward a step! They would retreat a step, always maintaining a safe distance of about ten meters from Pupil Wolf!
It seemed! They were afraid that Pupil Wolf, like the Bloody Wolf Group member just now, would suddenly rush up and self-destruct in their midst, causing them to follow the same path as the previous dozens of royal guards, losing their combat power and becoming meat on someone else’s chopping block!
This scene! It really stunned the citizens outside the imperial city!
“Grandpa Tim!”
The people of the four great families were also shocked, their hearts trembling violently. Rocco Lewis asked, “What… what’s going on?”
Yes! What’s going on???
When Sean went to Fort South before, Tim Lewis, as the representative of the four great families, visited the Palace of Wolf the most and had the most contact with the members of the Bloody Wolf Group!
So! If anyone knew the secrets, it could only be Tim Lewis!
“You’re asking me?”
“Who the hell should I ask?”
However, Tim Lewis glared at Rocco Lewis, his face dark, and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, get ready to do it!!!”
Do it? Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, worrying, “Master Tim, do we really want to snatch people from the royal guards? If we fail, we might all die here today!”
“Even if we succeed! As long as the empire stands, from now on, there will be no place for us in the entire Shirine Empire!”
Offending the royal family!
It’s as good as treason!!!
“What else can we do?”
Tim Lewis retorted, “Do we have any other choices now?”
“If!”
“If Mr. Mason and Spirit Wolf die, we will die too!”
“If! They manage to escape this calamity, and know that we stood by and watched, do you think they will still give us the antidote?”
“I’m afraid! Given Mr. Mason’s means, he would level our four great families!!!”
Originally, Tim Lewis had hesitated to act, thinking that Sean and Spirit Wolf were certainly doomed. Even if those core members of their families failed to get the antidote, following Sean and Spirit Wolf to death, at least the younger generations of their clans could survive!
But now, the situation in the Royal City is getting more complex. Sean’s fate has gone from a certainty to a question, forcing Tim Lewis to reassess the pros and cons!
At this moment, those dozens of Imperial Guards had retreated to the front of the palace gate, and the nine hundred Imperial Guards who were originally maintaining order outside the palace gate also swarmed up, reversing the situation again! This was extremely unfavorable for Pupil Wolf and others!
“I gave you a chance to surrender!”
“Such a pity!”
“You refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit!”
With the support of the nine hundred Imperial Guards, the few Late Stage Imperial Guard leaders immediately stopped in their tracks, looking confident. Staring at Pupil Wolf leading the way, they sneered, “No matter what methods you’ve used, even if you resort to blowing up your own bodies, and incapacitate dozens of people, so what?”
“You! You only have eight people!”
“And we! We have more than nine hundred. Even if it’s a war of attrition, we can still kill you all!”
Words fell! The Imperial Guard leader waved his hand, commanding the nine hundred Imperial Guards behind him, “Everyone, attack together, in one fell swoop, kill all these rebellious traitors!”
Due to their overwhelming numerical advantage, the Imperial Guards suddenly gained confidence. They charged together! The massive force of over nine hundred people was like a tidal wave, rolling towards Pupil Wolf and the others with crushing momentum!
The next moment, a shadow flashed past Pupil Wolf, stepping in front of him, charging directly into the tidal wave of Imperial Guards. Then there was a deafening bang!
Just like before, another member of the Bloody Wolf Group chose to blow up his own body, sacrificing his life to give Pupil Wolf and others a chance to survive!
Instantly, flesh and blood burst open under the encapsulation of dark energy, like fireworks, creating a rain of blood in front of the palace gate!
Without hesitation, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf followed closely, raising their steel swords, they plunged into the blood rain like tigers into a flock of sheep, once again launching a frenzied massacre!!!
