LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The carriage moved at a steady pace-not too fast, not too slow. Jun and Clive remained inside the compartment. The coachman urged the horses forward. Fabian held a dragon-patterned spear, walking steadily beside the carriage on the right.

Inside the Imperial City, three thousand elite soldiers in heavy armor took their positions, blocking the path of the carriage six hundred meters ahead. The gates that Fabian had shattered earlier were guarded by nearly ten thousand silver-armored guards, forming a “gate” that was impenetrable. They stood in layers, shields adorned with unknown spirit patterns.

At the same time, countless experts stood atop the city walls of the Imperial City. Each one possessed god-like prowess. At this moment, no one could approach the city from the outside. Within the Imperial City, the three thousand elite soldiers in heavy armor were ready to strike. Nearly thirty thousand soldiers and armor formed a killing formation, and every pair of eyes focused on one thing-the carriage in which Jun was riding.

Inside and outside the Imperial City, a deathly silence prevailed. It seemed as though the rumbling of the carriage and the sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the surroundings. In due time, the air became filled with a chilling aura-a scent of bloodshed without actual blood rain.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

From deep within the Imperial City, a roar suddenly resounded. “Roar!” This sound resembled the battle cry of an ancient war god, neither human nor beast, causing one’s scalp to tingle. Clive, inside the carriage, heard this sound, and his calm expression grew solemn. Fabian, who followed the carriage, furrowed his brows slightly.

Jun, inside the carriage, asked casually, “What is that sound?”

Clive pondered for a moment before answering solemnly, “It should be the Martial Slave from within the Imperial City. Casey personally nurtures it. Every year, it consumes a Grand Xuan Pill and cultivates year-round in the Dragon Vein Mountain, the treasure land of the Island of the Five Emperors.”

Jun narrowed his eyes and inquired, “The Grand Xuan Pill, made by refining the bodies of the one hundred and seventy-two souls of my Chester Ancient Clan?”

Clive took a deep breath and replied, “Exactly.”

Jun continued, “Have you ever fought against this Martial Slave?”

Clive shook his head. “Never.”

Adding a remark, Clive continued, “But when I was young, I exchanged a few moves with Casey.”

Jun asked, “Did you lose?”

Clive’s voice grew deep as he said, “I won.”

Jun furrowed his brow and asked, “What happened afterward?”

Clive fell silent for a moment before speaking, “After that, I never saw Casey again. Samantha took charge of all the matters on this island.”

Jun questioned, “So, the Island of the Five Emperors is ruled by a woman?”

Clive shook his head. “Not necessarily.”

Jun squinted his eyes and said, “If you fought Casey and lost, there wouldn’t be anything noteworthy. But if you won, then this situation becomes quite intriguing.”

Clive sighed and said, “Men who can make Samantha obedient are not easy to deal with.”

Jun asked again, “Have you ever fought against Samantha?”

Clive smiled bitterly. “Every time I see that venomous woman, this old servant doesn’t even have the courage to make a move.”

Jun furrowed his brow and said, “Last night, during my exploration of the Imperial City, I was too far away from Samantha. Although I could sense her strength, I felt that something was off.”

Clive nodded. “That’s not strange. When Leona fought against Samantha back then, at first, she couldn’t see how powerful Samantha was. But in the end, she lost to Samantha and was tricked by her.”

Jun asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Clive explained, “During that battle, Samantha used Leona to break the seal on the Dragon Vein Mountain.”

“Afterwards, the Island of the Five Emperors holds a Gathering Spirit Convention every March. Anyone who participates will greatly increase their cultivation. Most of my abilities were also cultivated in the forbidden area of the Dragon Vein Mountain.”

Jun opened the carriage curtain and glanced at the mountain behind the Imperial City. He asked, “Is that Dragon Vein Mountain?”

Clive replied, “Yes.”

Just as Jun was about to say something, his attention was drawn to the three thousand heavily armored elite soldiers who were close by. He saw them suddenly lining up on both sides, creating a path for the carriage he was riding in. Behind these men was an astonishing scene.

Four Realm of Heavenly Man experts, each several zhang tall, carried a stone platform on their shoulders and approached the square in front of Taiji Hall.

Boom!

The four individuals placed the hundreds of square meters large stone platform in the center of the square. At the same time, a group of people emerged from Taiji Hall. Leading them were a man and a woman.

The man wore a golden dragon robe and a golden mask. He had white hair, a tall stature, and his large hands reached his knees. Just by walking out of Taiji Hall, he exuded an invisible pressure.

The woman wore a golden phoenix robe and also had a golden mask. She was the beautiful woman Jun had seen last night in Imperial City, the woman referred to as Samantha, whom Clive called “Madam.”

“The man in the dragon robe is Casey,” Clive introduced to Jun.

Jun remained silent and observed Casey and Samantha from a distance. As the two approached the front of Taiji Hall, two seats were brought out for them, one dragon throne and one phoenix throne.

At that moment, Adele, who was tightly bound on the carriage, shouted at Casey, “Father! Save me!”

Unexpectedly, right after those words were spoken, an old man dressed in a blue robe embroidered with dragons beside Casey suddenly flicked his finger towards the top of the carriage. A burst of energy surged towards them.

Clang!

The energy collided with the aura surrounding the carriage, causing visible cracks to form, resembling a spiderweb. In an instant, the aura formation Jun had set up was shattered on the spot.

However, at this moment, Casey, who was originally going to sit on the dragon throne, glanced at the old man and swiftly brought him to his side.

Without saying a word, Casey raised his hand and pressed it on top of the old man’s head.

There was no visible exertion, but blood suddenly gushed from the old man’s eyes. The old man in the blue robe embroidered with dragons died on the spot.

Only then did Casey speak calmly, “As a father, I haven’t spoken yet. How can you, as an uncle, take action?”

With that, the old man instantly collapsed to the ground like a pile of flesh.

Finally, Casey, as if nothing had happened, sat on the dragon throne and looked towards Jun. He spoke slowly, “If you help me kill Adele, this useless waste, and everyone else in Imperial City except for Samantha, I will return Margaret and Kayla to you.”

“But, you must exchange it with your life and the three techniques of the Chester Ancient Clan: Infinite Ultimate True Skill, Pure Yang True Skill, and Pure Yin True Skill.”

Casey then took a cup of tea from the side, took a sip, and continued, “As for your Supreme Only Technique, you can hand it over as well.”

“It’s quite interesting that we both cultivate this technique. I find it intriguing that you were able to achieve perfection based on incomplete foundations, truly worthy of being a member of the Chester Ancient Clan with innate talent.”
