Chapter 3781 The Day Of The Wedding
“You’re right,” Gloria replied solemnly. “Good things come to those who wait. We should steady ourselves and continue to focus on our growth and development.” Xylas nodded. “Master, do you have any other plans for me?”
“I want you to continue building our forces and let your father venture outside to recruit rogue cultivators in the name of Void Sect. He can use the location of the divine ley line I told you about as a bargaining chip to lure them in,” Gloria ordered. “I have only one goal: to gather all the forces we can find so I can build a dedicated team as soon as possible.”
Since I can’t change the fact that I’m marrying Primo, I may as well use this opportunity to maximize my benefits. Gaining control of Void Sect can no longer satisfy me. I want to go beyond!
In fact, Gloria’s desire to expand her influence grew even stronger after she made progress in her relationship with Heptino. After all, cultivation resources were paramount to increasing one’s power in Kenfort, and Heptino was the expert in sniffing out spiritual ley lines.
“Don’t worry, Master. My father and I will do everything in our power to fulfill the task,” Xylas assured. Having witnessed what Gloria was truly capable of, Wade and Grant had decided to pledge their undying devotion and eternal allegiance to her a while ago.
The two of them already had connections in Void Sect, especially Grant, who had a solid reputation among Paladins of his level. Thanks to them as her trusty followers, Gloria’s expansion plan could proceed smoothly without any hitch.
“Let me know if you need anything else,” Gloria said with a satisfied nod. “I’ve managed to get even more information on the spiritual ley lines, which should be enough to facilitate our development plans. By the way, my wedding with Primo is nearing. I’m sure Floyd will show up to make a scene.”
“Please don’t worry, Master. I won’t let that loser ruin your happy day. I’ll kill him as soon as I spot him outside,” Xylas said, a sinister gleam in his eyes.
To his surprise, Gloria waved the idea aside. “No, no, no. I want you guys to ignore it and let Floyd in. You can take him down once he starts causing a commotion. It’d be fun to see him go mad with rage, wouldn’t it?”
Hahaha! Oh, I can’t wait to see Floyd in his wretched state as he makes a fool of himself!
Xylas, too, broke into an evil grin. “Got it, Master. Floyd is nothing but a useless piece of trash. How dare he still dream of gaining your favor? What a fool!”
“All right, that’s enough. Time to get on with your work!” Gloria ordered. “Yes, Master!” Xylas said before leaving Cloud Chamber. Ten days flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was finally the day of Primo and Gloria’s wedding.
The entire Void Sect was adorned with festive decorations, and even the ground was covered in red carpets. Dressed in their wedding attires, Primo and Gloria began welcoming their guests.
“The great elder of Ethereal Castle wishes the couple a long and blissful life!”
“The second prince of Crimson Court wishes the couple everlasting happiness!” “The vice head of Bonechill Villa wishes the couple many happy returns!”
For the next few seconds, the emcee continued to announce the names and congratulatory messages of the guests. “As expected of Primo! Look at all the people who’ve turned up!”
“Of course! The first few sects that arrived are as strong as Void Sect, yet they’ve all sent some of their highest ranking members to the wedding.”
“Gloria Gaston sure has her ways, huh? No other weddings of Primo have ever been this grand.” “Oh, shush! How dare you call Primo’s wife by her name! Are you tired of living?”
Members of the Void Sect couldn’t stop discussing among themselves, with many of them in awe at Gloria’s meteoric rise through the ranks of their sect.
Just then, the emcee’s voice rang out nervously. “T-The branch master of E-Eclipse wishes the couple a happy marriage.” That announcement came like a bolt from the blue and instantly sent everyone into an uproar.
Chapter 3782 Super Sect
“The branch master of Eclipse is here! I can’t believe he actually came here for Primo!” “The other organizations sent their vice heads or—at the very least—chief elders to congratulate the couple. He’s just a branch master. Why are you overreacting?”
“You’re just a newbie here in Kenfort. What do you know? Eclipse is a super sect. They established Eclipse Academy, which is utterly terrifying!” “What’s so terrifying about it? Hurry up and tell me.”
“Eclipse Academy selects talents from this area every five years. Anyone who graduates from there is meant to become an overlord. Even their branch masters have higher statuses than the chief elders of many mid-level sects. Do you get it now?”
Meanwhile, Primo approached Gloria in a hurry. “Darling, what happened? Why do you look so anxious?” Gloria asked curiously. She had never seen Primo lose his composure before, yet at that moment, traces of shock and excitement could be seen on his face.
“Stop asking questions. Come with me to receive an important guest. I’ll tell you along the way,” Primo said with a serious tone. Then, he took Gloria’s hand and headed outside. As they walked, he told her about the arrival of the branch master of Eclipse.
Eclipse was a huge and influential sect, and their Eclipse Academy was also a place Primo yearned for. “They have dozens of small and large dragon ley lines and countless divine ley lines and holy ley lines. They practically have endless resources!”
Upon hearing Primo’s words, Gloria couldn’t help but gulp. When Heptino discovered that small dragon ley line, the entire Void Sect was elated. Eclipse Academy is on a whole new level! I became so powerful after devouring just a trace of energy from the dragon ley line. What more if I enter a sect like Eclipse?
“Gloria, he may only be a branch master, but he’s no inferior to those chief elders from mid-level sects. You have to be careful with your words. If you offend him, the consequences will be dire,” Primo reminded.
“Don’t worry, Darling. I won’t overstep my boundaries,” Gloria reassured.
They soon arrived at the main gate, where the branch master of Eclipse had been waiting for some time. There was already a hint of impatience on his arrogant face.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, sir. I have brought my wife to give you a warm welcome. We ask for your forgiveness.” Primo and Gloria bowed respectfully. The branch master was a man in his forties. Every movement of his emanated immense energy.
After hearing Primo, he merely nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. Then, he was escorted inside by a huge group of people. Gloria stayed with Primo and the branch master for quite a while before excusing herself, claiming that she had to change her clothes.
No one found it suspicious. After all, the sect had prepared countless outfits for her wedding day. Gloria did actually change her outfit, but she also took that chance to meet someone else. “Heptino, what are you thinking?”
Feeling a few pats on his shoulder, Heptino snapped out of his daze and turned around to see Gloria smiling at him. When he saw her outfit, mixed emotions filled him.
“Gloria, is this the outfit I gifted you?” he asked, a lump forming in his throat. Gloria nodded. Her smile faded a little, and a sad look appeared on her face.
“How is it? I look great, right? You’ve got good taste. It fits me just right, too.” She sighed and continued, “It’s also a blessing to get married while wearing the clothes gifted by my little brother.”
As she spoke, her eyes glimmered with tears.
Chapter 3783 Floyd Is Here
“G-Gloria, don’t you cry! You’re making me feel terrible.” When Heptino saw Gloria’s red-rimmed eyes, he panicked and felt frustrated for some reason. “You foolish boy. These are tears of joy.”
Gloria wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She then straightened Heptino’s robe and brushed away the dust on his shoulder, chiding, “You’re all grown up, yet you still don’t know how to take care of yourself. I can’t help but worry about you! Now that I’m married, I won’t be able to look after you like before. You should take good care of yourself. Don’t drink without eating anything; it’s bad for your stomach. Refrain from taking too many of those pills, too. They contain cinnabar, which isn’t good for your body.”
Tears rolled down Gloria’s cheeks “uncontrollably” as she reminded Heptino about mundane things.
“You should hurry and find a woman who will treat and love you sincerely. Only then will I be able to stop worrying. Today is my big day. You should cheer up, okay? All right, I should greet my guests now. Take care!”
After choking those words out, she turned around and ran away. Heptino felt empty as he watched Gloria’s leaving figure. It was as if he had just lost something.
His chest felt heavy, and no matter how many deep breaths he took, the discomfort would not go away. “Gloria… Gloria…” he mumbled as the lump in his throat grew bigger.
Wanting to wash away the mess in his mind, he lifted the wine bottle to his lips. Yet at the thought of Gloria’s words earlier, he lowered the bottle.
From where he sat, he could see Gloria and Primo toasting the guests in the distance. The sight brought tears to his eyes and made him feel even worse.
He was like a child whose favorite toy was taken away—frustrated yet helpless. Throughout the entire wedding, Heptino acted nothing like himself. Like a soulless man, he remained in a daze almost the whole time.
Countless horse carriages were parked orderly outside the main gate of Void Sect as guests arrived one after another. Not only were the streets covered in red carpets and rose petals, but the trees were also adorned with colorful ribbons.
The sounds of drums, horns, and fireworks added to the festive mood of this grand wedding ceremony. On top of that, the cheers of the crowd were so thunderous that it felt like the entire nation could hear them.
As Floyd took in this scene, his face turned grim. After he was heavily injured and thrown into the drain last time, he returned to Bluesky Sect in a pathetic state.
At the moment, he had recovered fully and even improved his skills following a few days of rest. Having received the news that Gloria and Primo were getting married on this day, he specially made his way here to check out the celebration.
He wasn’t sure if he was doing this out of bitterness or unwillingness to accept the reality.
Thundera and Hansel stood behind him, though they weren’t really keen on coming to Void Sect.
They knew they would meet their ends if Santino and Gloria discovered them.
However, they had no choice but to accompany Floyd since he insisted on coming. After all, they believed that he was Levi’s favorite disciple.
If Floyd got killed right under their noses, they would incur Levi’s wrath, and Zerach would be the first to lose his life in that case.
“Floyd, you have to hold yourself back later. There’s no way we can fight the elites of Void Sect on our own,” Hansel pleaded desperately.
Floyd merely sneered before heading inside. They had disguised themselves, so they entered the venue smoothly after handing over their gifts.
Chapter 3784 I Will Kill You Myself
Hansel and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Now that we’ve successfully infiltrated Void Sect’s wedding ceremony, all that’s left to do is keep Floyd from going crazy!
Little did they know, Wade’s men were aware of their presence the moment they entered the venue. However, Wade had orders from Gloria to let them in, which was exactly what he did. That was why they managed to get in so easily.
Even so, there were countless men keeping a close eye on Floyd the entire time. They were ready to subdue him if he dared try anything funny.
“Have our men on high alert. We are authorized to use lethal force if Floyd betrays us,” Wade ordered. Sensing something was amiss, Hansel whispered, “Hey, do you guys feel like we’re being watched?”
Thundera and the others shook their heads in response. Because they weren’t as powerful as Hansel, they didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary.
On top of that, there were a huge amount of people all around them, so they could just be looking at the other guests. “Don’t worry, Master Hansel! Mr. Xanadu’s disguise technique has never failed us!” Thundera reassured him.
Jasper’s disguise technique had worked even on the strongest of fighters, so they believed it would be effective here as well. Hansel felt slightly relieved after hearing that, but he was still incredibly concerned about Floyd.
This guy is practically a walking time bomb! There’s no telling when he’ll explode! Floyd felt like his heart was being stabbed with a knife when he saw Gloria smiling sweetly at Primo on the stage.
The guests fell silent instantly when they heard the host saying, “All right, it is now time for the bride and groom to step forward!” Gloria and Primo then made their way to the center of the stage.
“Gloria and Primo, having witnessed your vows of love to one another, it is my joy to present you to all gathered here as husband and wife. You may proceed to consummate your marriage!” the host continued.
Those words hit Floyd in the heart like a sledgehammer as he watched the woman he loved smiling happily in another man’s arms. His chest heaved as he struggled to breathe, and the look on his face was extremely gloomy.
Primo then scooped Gloria into his arms and carried her into the bridal chamber while Void Sect’s disciples cheered them on. “Oh, boy! Primo looks really eager!”
“Given how pretty Elder Gaston is, any man would be eager to marry her!” “They sure are a perfect couple! It’s almost as though they were made for each other!”
Floyd felt like he was about to explode with anger and sadness after hearing what they said.
Thundera and Hansel were incredibly nervous when they saw his reaction. They feared Floyd would go crazy and cause a huge scene that would put them all in danger.
To their surprise, however, Floyd remained exceptionally calm throughout the entire wedding ceremony.
“I now realize that our relationship was all a lie, Gloria. From now on, you and I are mortal enemies. I will kill you myself once I get strong enough!” Floyd muttered under his breath.
At that very moment, he was finally able to let go of his feelings for her.
Floyd was originally planning on causing a scene during the wedding ceremony.
It wasn’t until he saw Gloria and Primo acting all lovey-dovey on stage that he realized it didn’t bother him as much as he thought it would.
He did feel a little jealous at first, but he was able to let go of all that surprisingly easily.
As such, Floyd chose to keep his cool and draw strength from his anger and hatred toward Gloria instead.
Gloria was utterly shocked and confused by his response.
She assumed Floyd would cause a huge scene out of rage and jealousy.
She even went as far as imagining all sorts of dramatic scenarios that would play out because of it, so one could only imagine her disappointment when none of that happened.
I can’t believe you’ve gotten over me, Floyd!
For some reason, Gloria felt a little unhappy with the way things turned out.
Chapter 3785 The Location Of God Crusher
As Floyd did not respond the way Gloria had expected him to, she wanted to continue observing his behavior.
Since she was having affairs with a lot of her subordinates, she didn’t want to consummate her marriage with Primo just yet because it would affect the way they saw her.
After racking her brain for a bit, Gloria was able to come up with a solution.
“Be patient, Darling! We have all night to consummate our marriage. The guests are watching! Don’t forget that the branch master of Eclipse is here too! We should show him some respect by having some decency!” she exclaimed coquettishly.
Primo paused in his tracks when he heard that. The flames of lust that were raging deep within his loins were extinguished in an instant.
“As expected of my woman! You’re absolutely right!”
Instead of getting upset or angry, Primo complimented Gloria for her reminder.
Eclipse owns the academy I want to get into, and its branch master is here. It would be unwise to have them think of me as a disrespectful pervert.
With that in mind, Primo quickly relieved the awkward tension by pretending that was just a part of the wedding ceremony.
“All right, this concludes the wedding ceremony! Feel free to wine and dine for the rest of the party!”
Through the corner of her eye, Gloria saw Floyd calmly enjoying the refreshments.
You’re a f*cking piece of trash, Floyd! So what if you’ve gotten over me? We’re leagues apart! You’re a fool if you think you can win my heart over! Have you ever looked in a mirror? Do you see how useless and weak you are compared to Primo? Primo could squash you like a bug with his pinky finger! Primo will eventually become the head of Void Sect! As his wife, I’ll get to bask in the glory of his success!
Gloria grew increasingly smug at the thought of that.
Having completely let go of his feelings for Gloria, Floyd felt like a huge load had been lifted off his chest.
As a burning hatred and a desire for vengeance were all that remained in his heart, he was able to enjoy the food and drinks to his heart’s content.
Suddenly, Thundera put away his communication device and whispered, “Our spies have located God Crusher. Shall we steal it while we’re here?”
It was no secret that Gloria had offered God Crusher up to Void Sect.
In order to atone for his mistakes, Floyd had the Bluesky Sect members investigate God Crusher’s whereabouts after he arrived in Kenfort.
He wasn’t expecting them to get results that soon, so this came as a pleasant surprise.
“The core members of Void Sect are all present at the wedding ceremony, so this is our best opportunity to reclaim God Crusher!”
“That’s right, Floyd! Mr. Garrison is bound to be pleased if you manage to bring God Crusher back to him!”
“We have a very high chance of success if we team up to get it back!”
Hansel and the others were really optimistic about it.
Levi is holding Zerach hostage. If we can get God Crusher back, we might be able to use it as a bargaining chip! Given how powerful Floyd has become, we’ll have a much higher chance of success with him on the team!
To their surprise, Floyd simply waved at them and said, “I will reclaim God Crusher in an honorable fashion.”
Floyd then turned around and walked off. Thundera and the others exchanged confused glances as they quickly followed behind him.
What does Floyd mean by that? Void Sect practically worships God Crusher! Does he really think he’ll be able to reclaim God Crusher all by himself?
Wade immediately asked Gloria if he should have them subdued when he saw them leaving.
“Do not act rashly. Have a few elites tail them and find out what they’re up to. We’ll plan our next move after that,” Gloria replied coldly.
I need to act very cautiously here. First, I have to confirm if Floyd came over to Kenfort by himself. Then, I’ll need to identify what Levi’s trusted fighters are up to. That way, I’ll be able to make a much better decision about what to do next.
Chapter 3786 I Will Reclaim It Honorably
Meanwhile, at the wedding ceremony, Heptino was feeling down in the dumps. The sight of Gloria marrying Primo stabbed at his heart like a knife. It felt as though someone had robbed him of his most prized possession.
F*ck! I’m not even sure who I should be mad at! Should I hate Primo for stealing the woman I love or hate myself for being too cowardly to compete for her? Argh! I don’t know! This wedding is so noisy that it’s driving me insane!
Heptino chugged some liquor in frustration, only to choke on it and enter a coughing fit. Gloria broke into a smug grin when she noticed his behavior.
Looks like Heptino has fallen for my charms as well! As the wedding ceremony continued, Primo kept his word and declared Gloria as his wife in front of everyone.
Hehe… Now, I have truly gained a foothold in Void Sect. With this new status, I’ll be entitled to all sorts of benefits. For example, I’ll be provided with a larger supply of cultivation resources and have access to Void Sect’s repository and many other restricted areas. I hear the repository holds tons of technique books for top-level combat techniques. Getting my hands on those is sure to boost my strength even further. The restricted areas are also rich with all sorts of magical herbs, which I believe will be of great use to me.
Gloria smiled gleefully as she thought about the benefits of marrying Primo. As the wedding ceremony continued into the night, it was customary for the guests to escort the newlyweds into the bridal chamber.
Of course, only the core members of Void Sect were allowed to participate in that activity, namely the Empyreans and the younger members of the Paladins.
Heptino was nowhere to be found throughout the activity, but no one thought much about it since he was usually antisocial anyway.
Gloria was the only one who knew the truth behind his absence, and she became a lot more certain about his feelings for her.
“All right, we’ve arrived at the bridal chamber. I appreciate you all for escorting us here, but it’s time for me and my wife to do the deed! Go on, get out of here!” Primo said with a stern look on his face.
Since he was the future head of the sect, the members knew better than to disobey him. Soon, Gloria and Primo were the only ones remaining in the room.
“We can finally consummate our marriage, Gloria! Here I come!” Unable to contain his lust any further, Primo pounced on her like a wild animal.
Gloria had cast an illusion spell in the room while he was distracted earlier, but it was no use against someone as powerful as Primo.
Just like that, the two of them ended up having wild sex until midnight.
The next morning, Gloria felt a wave of energy surging through her body when she woke up.
“Huh? What’s going on?” she mumbled to herself in confusion.
Primo happened to wake up around the same time as well.
Upon noticing the puzzled look on her face, he explained with a smile, “I cultivate the Hedonistic Sword Technique. Although neither of us used it last night, having sex can definitely benefit its cultivation.”
“Darling, does this mean we can improve our cultivation by practicing relevant techniques together?”
Primo nodded. “That’s right. I feel a significant boost in my power as well. Since this benefits both of us, let us continue our ‘training’!”
With Gloria putting up a bit of resistance while Primo continued to ravage her body, the two of them developed a much greater understanding of the Hedonistic Sword Technique.
The sun was already high up in the sky by the time they stopped.
Having taken care of Primo’s needs, Gloria got out of bed and went looking for Heptino.
Chapter 3787 Easy Prey
The huge boost in power came as a pleasant surprise for Gloria as it exceeded her expectations. As Primo went back to sleep, Gloria went looking for Heptino.
Judging from his unusual behavior last night, I bet he must be dying to see me right now! With that in mind, Gloria packed some stew and a couple of side dishes into a lunchbox and brought it over to Heptino’s room.
The room door was left ajar, and she could hear him snoring from outside. Gloria deliberately raised her voice a little as she exclaimed, “What? It’s almost noon, for goodness’ sake! Why is he still asleep?”
Sure enough, the snoring stopped instantly. Heptino then opened the room door and stepped out seconds later. “Gloria?”
The weary look on his pale face was instantly replaced with joy and excitement when he saw her. It was exactly as Gloria had predicted. Heptino had been drinking all night since the wedding ended and had passed out drunk in his room.
He felt like his world was falling apart after the woman he loved was taken from him. Seeing Gloria outside his door reignited the flames of hope which lit up the darkness in his heart.
“Is it really you, Gloria?” Heptino asked while rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
Gloria walked up to him and gave him a light smack on the forehead. “What’s gotten into you, Heptino? You reek of alcohol! Go brush your teeth and eat something before you ruin your stomach!”
“Okay!” Heptino was nearly touched to tears when he felt her concern for him. Gloria had laid out the food on the table by the time he finished washing up.
“Why are you still standing there? Come sit down and eat your lunch!” she urged him. It took Heptino every ounce of willpower he had to stop himself from crying as he wolfed the food down.
Although the food prepared was bland and simple, Heptino found it to be the most delicious food in the world. It wasn’t long before Heptino had finished all of the food on the table.
Gloria simply watched silently from the side with an affectionate look on her face. “You’re eating like you’ve been starving for days! Here, wipe your mouth!” Gloria exclaimed while handing him a napkin.
Heptino felt like he was the happiest man in the world as he took the napkin over and smelled the faint fragrance coming from it. “I wish you could continue looking after me like this, Gloria,” Heptino said with a genuine smile.
Gloria let out a huge sigh and said helplessly, “I wish I could. Seeing you like this worries me deeply, but… Well, as you know, I’m no longer single. There are lots of things that I… You know what, forget it. Let’s not bring up such depressing matters.”
She deliberately acted all hesitant just to pique his curiosity. Sure enough, it worked like a charm. “What’s wrong, Gloria? Is Primo mistreating you?” Heptino asked worriedly.
“No, Primo has been treating me quite well.” Gloria paused briefly for dramatic effect before continuing, “However, I sometimes feel a little helpless. As you know, the law of the jungle applies to both Kenfort and the mundane world. While my cultivation levels are fairly high, I’m nothing but easy prey to the powerful fighters out there.”
Although she didn’t specify what happened, Heptino understood what she was implying. Primo must’ve been bullying Gloria, but she’s unable to fight back because she’s not powerful enough.
Heptino’s hatred toward Primo grew stronger after hearing what Gloria said. “Don’t worry, Gloria. I have an idea!” he said after giving it some thought.
Chapter 3788 The Holy Guardians
Gloria was excited to hear what he had in mind, but she made sure not to show it. “Stop joking, Heptino. I know you’re just saying that to make me feel better,” she said with a wry smile. “I’m not joking, Gloria. No one will be able to bully you once you become powerful enough,” Heptino replied solemnly.
Gloria let out a sigh. “What kind of idea is this? Improving one’s cultivation takes a lot of time and hard work. There are no shortcuts that’ll allow me to become really strong overnight!”
“It’s indeed impossible to become really strong overnight, but you have the devouring technique and spiritual bone. You’ll be able to boost your strength significantly in a short amount of time if you use the right spiritual ley line,” Heptino replied.
“It’s not that simple. Given my current level, even a holy ley line wouldn’t be of much help. As for dragon ley lines… Those are extremely rare, and the one you guys discovered is being used on God Crusher, so I can’t use it anyway. Honestly, I’m just an outsider here in Void Sect!” Gloria said with a helpless expression.
“I’ll let you in on a little secret, Gloria. I discovered another dragon ley line slightly bigger than the one used for God Crusher. If I let you have it, you’ll be able to get stronger in no time!” Heptino exclaimed excitedly.
I was hoping to have Heptino get me a couple more holy ley lines, but he’s giving me a dragon ley line instead! This is truly a pleasant surprise!
With that in mind, Gloria pretended to reject his offer by saying, “No, I can’t accept that! You’re the one who discovered it, so you should be using it for your own cultivation instead!”
“I don’t have a spiritual bone, so the dragon ley line wouldn’t do me much good anyway. I think it’d be a lot better to let you have it instead. Besides, I have the ability to seek out spiritual ley lines, so I can easily find another dragon ley line!” Heptino replied solemnly.
“But…”
“No buts, Gloria! You will accept this gift if you truly care about me!” Heptino insisted stubbornly.
Gloria let out a sigh and put on a reluctant act. “All right… I’ll accept it for now. Just let me know if you ever need it back, and I’ll return it to you.”
Heptino was able to smile again when he saw her accept his gift.
All he wanted was for Gloria to keep getting stronger so she could be free of Primo’s control.
Meanwhile, in Yartran, the sudden downfall of the Glorian Order resulted in the subordinate state’s forces falling apart.
The few surviving high-ranking officials of Yartran gathered the forces scattered all over the country to mount a counterattack.
Despite still being under Levi’s rule, they were able to survive somehow.
As Levi had recently been preparing to enter Kenfort, he didn’t have time to deal with small fry like them.
Because of that, Yartran was able to survive the encounter.
A few of Yartran’s high-ranking officials were seated in a secret underground base as they discussed their next plan.
“According to some reliable intel from our spies, fighters from the Holy Guardians have shown up. Apparently, they’re searching for super-spiritual ley lines and found a rather interesting spot in Zarain. From what I’ve heard, that place contains a huge amount of high-level spiritual ley lines. Had it not been for the Holy Guardians, we’d have gotten a share of those spiritual ley lines too! It’s such a shame!”
The other officials shook their heads in helplessness and frustration.
They had always feared the Holy Guardians even when they were at their strongest, so there wasn’t anything they could do in their current situation.
The Holy Guardians could easily wipe them all out with just a few of its fighters.
“I heard rumors about Levi’s men showing up in Zarain as well. Do you think these two forces are going to clash?”
“Well, I certainly hope they do! We get to just sit back and enjoy the show!”
“That’s right! We’ll wait till Levi and the Holy Guardians’ fighters are wounded and then swoop in to finish them off!”
Chapter 3789 The Legendary Dragon Ley Line
Levi was still concerned about his findings in Zarain. The holy ley line isn’t doing much to help with my metamorphosis process anymore. I’ll have to find a higher-level spiritual ley line if I want to get stronger.
According to Zerach, the spiritual ley line that is a level above the holy ley line is known as the dragon ley line. I’m guessing that’s the power source Digital God was talking about before. I have to get there no matter what!
He was snapped out of his train of thought when Digital God sent him a message: Mr. Garrison, I have carried out a search using the most advanced equipment. There are no signs of life in that area whatsoever. Judging by the energy that keeps seeping out of that area, I believe it won’t be long before others start flocking over.
That sounds rather serious. It looks like the actual situation is far worse than I had imagined.
With that in mind, Levi immediately rushed toward the secret location marked on the map.
Since there were no signs of life in the area, Levi knew there were no powerful fighters there at the moment.
As Void Sect was still keeping an eye on him, it wouldn’t be smart to draw any unwanted attention from other forces.
Upon meeting Levi in person, Digital God got straight to the point and asked, “How do you plan on entering the secret zone, Mr. Garrison?”
Digital God had tried conducting some reconnaissance in the secret zone using all sorts of high-tech equipment, but his efforts all ended in failure.
“Through brute force,” Levi replied with a smile.
He didn’t think of using such a crude method before as he wasn’t sure if there were unknown powerful fighters in there.
Digital God didn’t quite understand what he meant by that, but Levi couldn’t be bothered to explain himself further.
“Tell everyone to back away. I don’t want anyone getting hurt,” he ordered coldly.
Digital God quickly did as told and stepped back with the rest of the men in charge of protecting him.
Once again, Levi felt his movements being restricted as he got close to the secret zone.
“Ha!”
He let out a yell as he channeled his technique and released a terrifying energy wave from his body.
As the energy particles surged through the air around him, that feeling of being physically restricted disappeared completely.
“Break, you piece of trash!” Levi yelled as he swung his fist at the energy barrier around the secret zone.
That punch was so forceful that it created a whirlwind as it sailed through the air before crashing into the energy barrier.
Crack!
The crystal-clear sound of the barrier cracking echoed throughout the surrounding area.
“Shatter into a million pieces!” Levi roared as he continued slamming multiple punches at the same spot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After delivering three more strikes, he was finally able to break the energy barrier.
A wave of concentrated spiritual energy swept through the area as the barrier came down, and a beautiful scenery greeted everyone’s eyes.
There were tall mountains with misty peaks, rivers with crystal-clear water, and grassy plains as far as the eye could see.
“Whoa! This is like paradise!” Levi exclaimed in shock and awe.
However, it wasn’t long before he realized something was amiss. Wait a minute… This looks too perfect to be natural. It feels as though someone designed it like this!
Levi then released a burst of energy to perform a scan in the area, but he detected no suspicious individuals.
Suddenly, the energy wave that Levi sent out came into contact with another terrifyingly powerful energy source.
“That must be the super-spiritual ley line!” Levi muttered to himself as he ran in the general direction of that energy source.
Moments later, Levi arrived in front of a mountain.
There was a powerful energy constantly flowing out of its ores. As Levi got closer, he could even hear very faint voices coming from it.
“Is this a legendary dragon ley line?” Levi exclaimed excitedly when he saw the enchanting, faint purple halo surrounding the spiritual ley line.
Chapter 3790 Fighters From The Holy Temple
The purity of the spiritual energy within this spiritual ley line was a few times higher than that of a holy ley line. Levi was able to detect the presence of multiple similar dragon ley lines nearby.
There were also tons of holy ley lines in the surrounding area. “Looks like we’ve struck gold!” Levi could barely contain the joy and excitement in his heart.
Right as he was about to celebrate, a stern voice called out to him from afar, “You ignorant reprobate! I suggest you leave now before I kill you!”
A few seconds later, Levi saw a group of men rapidly closing in on his position. The look in his eyes grew cold as he realized he was up against dozens of fairly powerful individuals.
The few leading the group were exuding energy levels that surpassed that of Zerach and the heads of the five sects.
However, the men looked like they were from Adrune with their blonde hair, blue eyes, and arrogant expressions.
“Where did you pieces of trash come from? How dare you interfere with my affairs?” Levi asked with a sneer.
He wasn’t about to just give up the dragon ley line, especially after working so hard to find it.
Even so, he needed to figure out who those men were in order to better defend himself against them.
“We are the Holy Guardians, and the spiritual ley lines in Zarain belong to the Holy Temple! You reprobates are unworthy of laying your filthy hands on them!” said the middle-aged fighter leading the group.
Levi noticed an intense flame dancing about in that man’s palm.
The next thing he knew, the air around them grew incredibly hot and dry.
“Holy Guardians? Haven’t heard of it! Are you guys with Yartran?” Levi asked with a snicker.
“All they do is rely on advanced technology. Please do not associate them with us Holy Guardians!” the burly man replied disdainfully.
There were twelve Holy Guardians in total, each worshipping one of the twelve gods in Adrunian mythology—the Orunthians—and possessing an insane amount of power.
While remaining hidden from the world, they had each formed their own respective forces known as the Holy Temples.
The leader of the twelve Holy Guardians was a fighter with the ability to control thunder. His Holy Temple was known as Zyus Holy Temple.
There were other Holy Temples, such as Adollus Holy Temple and Eras Holy Temple.
The twelve Holy Guardians had been searching all over Adrune for the best spiritual ley lines.
So far, they had managed to gain control over lots of divine ley lines and holy ley lines, but they had yet to obtain dragon ley lines.
Had the super-spiritual ley line in Yartran not been of a low level, the Holy Guardians would’ve claimed it long ago.
Levi froze as he slowly came to understand the meaning behind that burly man’s words.
Yartran chooses those who are naturally gifted and modifies their bodies with advanced technology. They also use those individuals in experiments meant to boost their energy levels. Although Yartran was able to create a team of powerful and loyal soldiers, they were still leagues apart from true cultivators. Are these people cultivators from Adrune?
“How can you prove that this spiritual ley line belongs to that temple of yours? You guys only showed up after I found this spiritual ley line! You guys had better get lost before I kick your a*ses!” Levi said coldly with a sneer.
The Holy Guardians’ faces turned grim when they heard that.
They had spent a lot of time searching for the dragon ley lines in the secret zone but to no avail.
It wasn’t until Levi shattered the energy barrier that they detected the strong spiritual energy flowing out of the dragon ley line and pinpointed its location.
“Shut up, you reprobate! In the name of the Holy Guardians, I order you to leave this place right now! Do as I say, or I will kill you!” the burly man yelled as he got into a fighting stance.
Levi, too, got into a fighting stance as he replied, “Is that right? Do you really think I’m going to just hand over something I worked hard to get? Dream on! Come on then—show me what you Holy Guardians are capable of!”
