“Yin Shadow Gate naturally did not want Monk Benjamin to ascend to the Spirit God realm, nor did they want Diamond Fortress to monopolize the Sacred Golden Elixir. Therefore, Yin Shadow Gate formed an alliance with the Everlasting Trade Association and the Runecarver Sect, with Yin Shadow Gate as the main force, to jointly attack Diamond Fortress. Now, Diamond Fortress has been breached.”
“Diamond Fortress has been breached!? What about Falling Blossom Palace?” Leo’s face changed dramatically.
Out of the three Sacred Golden Elixirs, Leo gave one to Monk Benjamin and another to Seraphina.
To be honest, although Leo had a good relationship with Diamond Fortress, its fall did not concern him much.
However, he could not ignore Falling Blossom Palace, where Seraphina resided.
“Three days ago, after Yin Shadow Gate breached Diamond Fortress, Elder Frost and Elder Rain of the Runecarver Sect led their forces to attack Falling Blossom Palace.”
“But Falling Blossom Palace seemed to have anticipated this. Before the Runecarver Sect arrived, they abandoned their mountain gate and headed to Clearwind Town.”
“At that time, Miss Violet had already defeated Prince Caspian, so Clearwind Town was considered relatively safe. Despite Elder Frost and Elder Rain’s strength, they likely did not dare to confront Miss Violet, who had defeated Prince Caspian. Falling Blossom Palace probably had this in mind.”
Falling Blossom Palace was a strong sect in the Zratol region but was far inferior to the Runecarver Sect, one of the three major sects of the Martial Dynasty.
“What was the outcome? Is Seraphina alright?”
Mike had accompanied Leo to Falling Blossom Palace before, so he was not surprised by Leo’s concern for Seraphina.
“Outside Clearwind Town, Seraphina fought alone against Elder Frost and Elder Rain, allowing the rest of Falling Blossom Palace to enter the town first. Seraphina reportedly suffered minor injuries but managed to repel Elder Frost and Elder Rain.”
Mike’s account made Leo’s face grow colder.
Although Seraphina was not weak, it was indeed difficult for her to face two elders from the Runecarver Sect alone.
“What happened after Diamond Fortress was breached?”
“Diamond Fortress suffered heavy casualties. Out of over a thousand Buddhist cultivators, more than half were killed, leaving only four or five hundred survivors. Abbot Kakumei was also killed. The remaining survivors, led by Monk Benjamin, sought refuge in Clearwind Town.”
“So that’s why the Everlasting Trade Association, Runecarver Sect, and Yin Shadow Gate gathered together to besiege Clearwind Town.”
“Yes, Lord. The three factions had already formed an alliance. Even if Falling Blossom Palace and Diamond Fortress hadn’t come to Clearwind Town, the Runecarver Sect and Yin Shadow Gate would have certainly attacked it.”
Leo nodded grimly. After a moment’s thought, he asked, “Have Violet and the others held out for three days?”
Leo knew very well that even with the protective array he had set up around Clearwind Town, it was no easy task to withstand attacks from Yin Shadow Gate, Everlasting Trade Association, and Runecarver Sect for three days.
“Prince Caspian has been recovering from his severe injuries inflicted by Miss Violet. Although Yin Shadow Gate breached Diamond Fortress, they also suffered significant losses.”
“So neither side has rushed to attack Clearwind Town again. They are waiting for Supreme Elder Felix of the Runecarver Sect to emerge from seclusion.”
“Judging by what Justice said earlier, the Runecarver Sect has already gone to besiege Clearwind Town. It seems Supreme Elder Felix has emerged.” Mike’s face was filled with worry.
“If anything happens to Violet and the others, I will kill them all!” Leo said coldly as he sped up.
The Dragon Sword flew swiftly through the sky.
Location: Clearwind Town.
Clearwind Town was no longer the small town it had been when Leo first arrived.
After Leo took over as lord, he instructed Serene to expand Clearwind Town. After this period of expansion, Clearwind Town had grown to three or four times its original size, resembling a large town.
Hundred-foot-high walls stood around Clearwind Town.
A giant bowl-shaped light shield covered the entire town from above.
On the ground of Clearwind Town, glowing runes formed a massive and intricate array.
At this time, the entire Clearwind Town was under a heavy atmosphere.
Inside Clearwind Town, countless eyes looked solemnly at the giant transparent light shield outside.
Outside the giant light shield were thousands of figures exuding powerful auras.
These thousands of figures belonged to three different factions.
In the center faction, the leader was a middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold lion robe and a purple crown.
The middle-aged man had a calm demeanor and deep eyes that occasionally flashed with brilliance.
This man was Prince Caspian of the Martial Dynasty, half-brother of the deposed emperor.
Beside Prince Caspian stood Salvador in a golden robe. His sword-like eyebrows slanted towards his temples, and his eyes were sharp like an eagle’s.
Since returning from Pill Sovereign Island after breaking through the sea monster siege, his aura had grown even stronger.
Behind Prince Caspian and Salvador were over ten Spirit Saint realm experts wearing robes with the Everlasting Trade Association emblem.
Behind these Spirit Saint experts were a thousand guards in golden lion armor wielding golden spears.
They were the elite Golden Lion Guard of the Martial Dynasty’s capital.
During their coup attempt, Prince Caspian and the crown prince secretly won over the Golden Lion Guard commander. Now, the entire Golden Lion Guard was under their control.
On the left side were seven or eight hundred people in black robes.
Their black robes were covered with strange twisted patterns.
These were members of Yin Shadow Gate.
At the forefront of Yin Shadow Gate stood a thin middle-aged man with a sinister expression.
The middle-aged man’s eyes gleamed with a cold white light as he stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of dread.
This man was Evan Shade, master of Yin Shadow Gate, whose cultivation had reached half-step Spirit God realm.
A few steps behind Evan Shade stood Noah Shadow wearing a black eyepatch.
Behind Noah Shadow were over twenty powerful elders of Yin Shadow Gate, followed by several hundred elite disciples.
These hundreds of figures standing in mid-air emitted a chilling ghostly aura.
On the right side were a thousand people in white rune robes.
These were members of Runecarver Sect.
At the forefront of Runecarver Sect stood two figures in the center position.
One wore a white jade crown and had a refined and handsome appearance. The runes on his robe glowed brightly.
This man was Ryan Springfield, current leader of Runecarver Sect.
Beside Ryan stood an elderly man with a calm expression. The old man’s skin was as white as a baby’s, and his eyes seemed to have witnessed countless changes over time.
As this elder stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, the space around him subtly fluctuated.
This man was Supreme Elder Felix of Runecarver Sect who had just emerged from seclusion!
Behind Ryan and Felix were thirty elders of Runecarver Sect.
These thirty elders were led by Elder Blaze, Elder Frost, and Elder Rain.
