Gilberto stood behind the three elders, followed by the elite disciples of the Runecarver Sect.
The Everlasting Trade Association, Yin Shadow Gate, and Runecarver Sect, with thousands of members, exuded a powerful aura that enveloped the entire Clearwind Town.
Inside Clearwind Town, countless gazes looked fearfully at the three factions.
“The Everlasting Trade Association, Yin Shadow Gate, and Runecarver Sect all came.”
“Three half-step Spirit God realm experts!”
“And so many Spirit Saint realm experts.”
“Clearwind Town is likely to face utter destruction this time.”
Many cultivators in Clearwind Town whispered in fear.
“It’s said that the lord of Clearwind Town has already fallen. No matter how strong Miss Violet is, she can’t possibly defeat three half-step Spirit God realm experts.”
“Let’s hope their battle doesn’t affect us…”
At this moment, over two thousand people stood in the air above Clearwind Town.
Although these two thousand people were close together, their attire indicated three distinct factions.
On the far left were four to five hundred Buddhist cultivators in monk robes from Diamond Fortress.
Leading them were Monk Benjamin and three high monks. Behind them were a dozen Spirit Saint realm experts from Diamond Fortress, followed by the elite disciples of Diamond Fortress.
In the center were people from Clearwind TownLord’s Manor, including Violet, Holden, Jennifer, Christian, Aimee, Ellis, and Serene.
Behind them were over thirty Spirit Saint realm experts affiliated with Lord’s Manor.
Half of these Spirit Saint realm experts had broken through to the Spirit Saint realm thanks to the Ascension Pill bestowed by Lord’s Manor.
The other half had joined Lord’s Manor for the Spirit Saint Pill and served as Honored Elders of Lord’s Manor.
In just a month or two, Lord’s Manor had recruited so many Spirit Saint realm experts, which was quite rare.
Behind the Spirit Saint realm elders of Lord’s Manor were a hundred stewards of Lord’s Manor.
Further back were over a thousand Black Armored Guards in black armor, holding black spears.
On the right were people from Falling Blossom Palace.
Falling Blossom Palace was mostly composed of female disciples in white dresses, standing in the air.
At the forefront of Falling Blossom Palace were Palace Master Gracie and Vice Palace Master Willow, with Seraphina standing slightly behind them.
Behind these three were a dozen elders from Falling Blossom Palace and seven to eight hundred disciples.
At this moment, everyone from Diamond Fortress, Lord’s Manor, and Falling Blossom Palace looked solemnly at the Everlasting Trade Association, Yin Shadow Gate, and Runecarver Sect outside the light screen.
In terms of numbers, the Everlasting Trade Association had an advantage over Lord’s Manor’s side.
Moreover, the powerful aura they emitted greatly overshadowed that of Lord’s Manor.
After all, whether it was Runecarver Sect, Yin Shadow Gate, or the Everlasting Trade Association under Prince Caspian and the Crown Prince, they were among the top forces in the Martial Dynasty.
On the other hand, Diamond Fortress, though also a top force, had its strength greatly reduced after its mountain gate was breached.
Lord’s Manor was a new force that had expanded rapidly due to the Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill but still lacked the foundation of forces like Runecarver Sect. They especially lacked mid-to-late-stage Spirit Saint realm experts.
As for Falling Blossom Palace, although it was a first-class force within ten thousand miles of Zratol, it still couldn’t compare to the Everlasting Trade Association, Runecarver Sect, and Yin Shadow Gate.
Therefore, facing the combined attack of these three powerful forces, Clearwind Town was under immense pressure.
Under countless gazes, Prince Caspian stepped forward and stood before the transparent light screen.
“Little girl, open the formation voluntarily and submit to the Everlasting Trade Association. Accept its management, or I will break through the formation and leave no one alive in Lord’s Manor, Starfall Shop, or all of Clearwind Town!”
Prince Caspian’s deep gaze fell on Violet in her purple dress. His words carried the pressure of a half-step Spirit God realm expert and echoed in the sky above Clearwind Town.
Yin Shadow Gate Master Evan Shade and Runecarver Sect Supreme Elder Felix also looked at Violet.
According to their information, this girl in purple had severely injured Prince Caspian.
Although Prince Caspian had just advanced to the half-step Spirit God realm, this purple-clad girl seemed only seventeen or eighteen years old yet managed to injure him severely. Although she relied on a Spirit Treasure, her talent was still extraordinary.
Hearing Prince Caspian’s words, Violet, Holden, Jennifer, and others’ faces darkened immediately.
“Damn it! They want to take over Leo’s business. I will never let them succeed!” Violet gritted her teeth.
The Everlasting Trade Association besieged Clearwind Town to seize Starfall Shop.
Now Starfall Shop’s franchises spanned across the Martial Dynasty, generating immeasurable wealth daily.
The Everlasting Trade Association coveted Starfall Shop greatly due to its immense influence.
With Prince Caspian and Crown Prince Salvador in power, they naturally wanted to seize Starfall Shop for themselves.
“We can’t let them take our Starfall Shop.” Holden’s eyes flashed with sharp light as he spoke coldly.
“Violet, Holden, we might as well fight them to the death!” Christian said resolutely.
“The lord has not returned yet. We don’t know what happened on Pill Sovereign Island. If he were here, he would have a way to deal with them,” Serene said with a frown.
Hearing Serene mention Leo, Holden, Jennifer, and others’ faces grew even more serious.
With Leo around, they had confidence even against stronger enemies.
“Leo will be fine,” Violet said firmly through gritted teeth.
Hearing Violet mention Leo, a trace of worry flashed in Seraphina’s eyes.
“So what will it be, little girl? Have you made up your mind? Will you let me break through the formation and kill you all or open it yourself?” Prince Caspian asked coldly with a stern face.
The formation protecting Clearwind Town was both offensive and defensive. Even as a half-step Spirit God realm expert, breaking through it would be quite troublesome for him.
Last time he made a breach; it took considerable effort.
“Prince Caspian, if it’s a fight you want, then let’s fight!” Violet’s pretty face turned icy as she summoned an ancient cyan tower above her palm with a wave of her right hand.
As soon as the cyan tower appeared, the temperature of the entire area rose sharply.
The appearance of the cyan tower immediately attracted numerous gazes.
The tower was covered in ancient patterns that converged into what seemed like burning cyan flames.
Within these flames were divine birds bathing in fire, exuding an ancient aura that inspired awe.
