Chapter 304: The Underground Altar, Sean’s Humiliation
Half an hour!
From the moment Ashby came to see the Padishah, Sean spent about half an hour with the Padishah. He left the Hall of Throne with a heart full of shock and worry.
As he left the hall, Sean’s mind was in turmoil.
His trip to the royal city!
He couldn’t find any clues about Liane, but he learned about his father, Parker Mason’s whereabouts.
Unfortunately!
Given Sean’s current strength and status, he was in no position to contend with a super-powerful dark force like the Hall of Jade. Even though he knew his father, Parker Mason, was in the hands of the Hall of Jade, he was helpless.
Damn it! What a twist of fate!!!
Furthermore!
The young man number 12 had previously appeared at Crane’s underground auction and had deliberately targeted Sean, clearly knowing Sean’s identity and background.
This indicates!
In fact!
Every move Sean made might have been under the surveillance of the Hall of Jade!!!
Hall of Jade!
What on earth do they want???
He pondered!
But he couldn’t figure it out…
…
Everyone knows!
The Hall of Throne, the true “First Hall of Kisia,” is majestic and vast, but few people know that beneath the hall is a hollow!
There is an underground altar!!!
In the dim and gloomy environment, a massive altar with a diameter of 9. 9 meters stood firmly. The altar was a standard circle, about two meters high, made of jade!
The interior of the altar was recessed. If you looked down from above, it resembled an enlarged version of a giant bowl!
Right in the center!
There was a jade pillar!
This was the place where the Padishahs of Kisia practiced in seclusion. Only on the day of inheriting the throne would one know of its existence and also receive the key to unlock the altar!
At this moment!
Atop the jade pillar in the center of the altar, sat an elderly man with white hair and beard, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed. Around the old man, the recessed area was filled with bright red blood!
The blood churned ceaselessly, emitting waves of red mist, as if it was boiling!
The blood mist wrapped around the white-haired old man, and his body, like a suction cup, absorbed all the blood mist into his body!
This process lasted for approximately ten minutes!
After ten minutes!
The surrounding blood seemed to decrease in temperature. The blood mist gradually became thinner. The white-haired old man took a deep breath, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he slowly opened his eyes!
“Ah…”
With a shake of his head and a sigh, the white-haired old man said with a bitter smile, “Just striking one cut and stabbing one sword, I need to adjust my breath for ten minutes to recover. This damaged core of mine is really not very useful!”
In his voice, there was a sense of helpless self-mockery!
This person!
It was the current Padishah of Kisia!
King Ron!
“Don’t worry!”
After a moment, another voice came from the darkness beside the altar: “We’re almost there. We’re just one step away from success!”
“All preparations are ready, we’re just waiting for the east wind!”
If Sean were present at this time, upon hearing this voice, he would find it incredibly familiar and would instantly recognize his identity!
King of Night!!!
Still in the same black robe, tightly wrapped, under the gloomy environment, he seemed to have merged into the darkness!
If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t even notice his existence!
“Let’s hope so!”
“After so many years of torment and waiting, I’ve had enough!!!”
King Ron’s voice suddenly turned cold as frost, snorting: “That little bastard Sean is not simple, not simple at all, truly worthy of being Liane Field’s blood heir. My sword and cut, surprisingly, failed to injure him!”
“He doesn’t seem like someone who just entered the Bright Realm a few days ago!”
Just now!
King Ron’s cut and sword had made Sean feel an unparalleled pressure, deeply shocking his heart. However, wasn’t King Ron, who was in the middle of the altar, feeling the same way?
The shock brought by Sean was no less than the shock he gave to Sean!
However!
He concealed it very well, pretending as if nothing had happened and did not show it. Sean did not notice it at all!
Normally!
For a practitioner who just entered the Bright Realm, King Ron would only need one slash or one strike to kill them on the spot. There was no need to strike twice!
“Of course he’s not simple!”
The King of Night spoke in a deep voice: “If it weren’t for his special bloodline, why would we go to such lengths for him?”
“As long as we succeed!”
“Everything!”
“Will be worth it!!!”
The King of Night’s low and husky voice, in the eerie darkness, seemed even more sinister. It was chilling to the bone!
“Right!”
King Ron nodded: “As long as we succeed, it would be worth it!”
Speaking!
King Ron turned his head to glance at the King of Night, asking: “Does the King of Night think that the words I just said, would Sean believe them?”
“He will!”
“And he won’t!”
King of Night said without hesitation: “Your words were half true and half false, mixing reality with fiction. He has no reason not to believe, but he wouldn’t be foolish enough to completely believe!”
“I received a tip!”
“When he left the Mountain, he completely destroyed that cave. On the surface, it seems like he wanted to seal the old lady of the Mason family alive inside to vent his anger. But I suspect that he may have found the secret room in the cave and wanted to cover his tracks!”
“So!”
“I have already sent people to check!”
Upon hearing these words!
King Ron’s pupils shrank suddenly, saying coldly: “If that’s the case and he found that secret room and saw that female corpse, he should be able to deduce that the woman was a Bright Realm practitioner when she was alive!”
“Even!”
“He might suspect that the female corpse is his biological mother, Liane Field!”
“However!”
“In our conversation just now, he held his tongue and did not ask any questions. It’s obvious that my strike and slash scared him. He’s afraid to ask about what he shouldn’t know and be killed to keep him quiet!”
King of Night nodded: “That should be the case!”
King Ron hummed: “It seems!”
“He is indeed wary of us!”
“But it doesn’t matter!”
“From the moment he walked out of the prison five years ago, his fate was already sealed!”
“Doomed!”
“He can’t escape from our palms!!!”
Having said this!
King Ron shouted: “Let Ashby come in!”
His voice was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the throne hall. The guards outside the hall door quickly responded: “Yes!”
…
At that time!
Outside the door, Prince Ashby had been kneeling there for over half an hour. His waist and legs were numb, his knees were faintly aching, and the fierce sun was overhead. His sweat had already soaked his inner robe!
But!
Compared to the physical pain, his heart was bleeding!!!
Fergus Archer was killed!
Ashby had lost his chance to seize the throne, because he knew that even if King Ron’s core was damaged and he couldn’t set foot outside the Hall of Throne, a regular practitioner of the Complete Realm couldn’t handle King Ron just by outnumbering him!
Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
The reason Ashby conspired with Fergus Archer in secret was to let Fergus Archer deal with King Ron. Now, before they could make a move on King Ron, Fergus Archer was killed by Sean!
Now!
Sean was summoned into the royal palace by King Ron. What’s the point of two Bright Realm practitioners being together???
Moreover!
Sean killed twenty-one elders under Ashby’s command in Prince Adam’s mansion, and only eleven escaped. With Ashby’s current strength, let alone dealing with King Ron, even dealing with Roscoe would be a bit of a stretch!
So!
Ashby came!
He came to the royal city, to beg King Ron for mercy!!!
Just to survive!!!
Suddenly!
The sound of footsteps echoed, and Ashby abruptly lifted his head, only to see a familiar figure slowly emerging from the imperial city.
It was Sean!
In just a few breaths of time, Sean had approached Ashby. There was empty space on his left, but he did not stand there. There was empty space on his right, yet he did not stand there either. Instead, he chose to stand right in front of Ashby, a little over a meter away!
At first glance, it looked as though Ashby was kneeling to Sean…
“Get out of the way!”
Ashby knew that Sean was intentionally humiliating him. Thus, his gaze towards Sean was as fiery as a dragon’s breath, filled with rage and murderous intent, as he gritted his teeth and said, “This is the imperial city!”
“Our imperial city!”
“It’s not your place as an outsider to run wild here and insult the crown prince!!!”
With that, Ashby twisted his body, changing his direction to avoid Sean!
However, Sean, acting as if he could walk all over Ashby, also shifted his body. Like a stubborn adhesive plaster, he insisted on standing in front of Ashby, as if he loved to watch Ashby kneel before him!
Absolutely infuriating!
Looking down at Ashby, Sean snorted coldly, saying, “Your imperial city?”
“Heh!”
“Really?”
“But, sorry, I just happen to enjoy insulting your crown prince outside your imperial city!”
“You seem pretty unhappy about it?”
“Not happy?”
“Then why don’t you jump up like a mad dog and try to bite me?”
“Come on!”
“Bite me!!!”
Sean was in a bad mood, and unfortunately for Ashby, he happened to be the one Sean chose to vent his anger on!
Such a smug look!
Absolutely infuriating!
Ashby was nearly driven mad by Sean, his lungs about to explode from anger, but due to King Ron’s command, he dared not stand up indiscriminately. Even if he had to bite down his broken teeth, he could only swallow his anger!
He could only kneel!
“Bastard!”
“You just wait!”
After changing positions several times, only to be forced into “kneeling to Sean” each time, Ashby finally gave up. He glared fiercely at Sean, his icy, bone-chilling voice almost squeezed through his teeth as he roared, “Even if I die, I will take you with me!”
“If I die!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“You damn well won’t live either!!!”
Sean simply sneered at Ashby’s threat!
Before entering the imperial city to meet King Ron, Sean might have had some worries. But now, he had received King Ron’s permission and command to execute Ashby in the South Forest!
Ashby was destined to die!!!
Faced with a man on death’s doorstep, Sean naturally wouldn’t give him the time of day!
“If you want to take me with you, you’d better have the ability to do so!”
Sean snorted, “Remember what I said, keep your neck clean. Once I have a chance, I’ll personally separate your head from your neck!”
With that, Sean’s entire figure turned into an afterimage and vanished at the gate in the blink of an eye!
At that moment,
A messenger soldier hurried over and said to Ashby, “Prince, the Padishah asks you to come in!”
Ashby stood up!
He brushed the dust off his knees, glared fiercely in the direction Sean had left, and then, with a flick of his sleeve, strode into the imperial city, heading straight for the Hall of Throne…
