LOGINThe other eight Zorondan representatives quickly chimed in."That's right! Be the bigger man here, Mr. Crawford—and we're sure you don't hold it against me anyway! We will always be at your beck and call from now on!""That's right! You're the best among us Zorondan representatives. We'd never argue against anything you say ever again!"When they were finally done, they were watching Caleb sheepishly, waiting sheepishly for him to speak. After all, cultivating in the secret realm was akin to reincarnating—three months in there was better than three years outside!If the others went in and they didn't, their cultivation would definitely fall behind!To their shock, Caleb decided to give them the death sentence. "Get the hell out of my face! None of you losers are going inside! If you want to argue, beat the representatives from Danmarch, Nistral, and Foehn first!"Flog and the eight Zorondan representatives' faces dropped right then, with Flog's face contorting in rage as he bel
The Zoronda camp was quiet for a moment but soon burst with lively cheers.After all, their fief lord was there to celebrate their victory at the Derby and reward the winners!-Three days later, the final rankings of the third to fifth place was decided.Of Danmarch, Nistral, and Foehn, Foehn tragically placed last.At the closing ceremony, every Foehn representative was glaring in frustration at the Alliance representatives.They would have been fourth place if the Alliance had never taken part, and they could at least send in 100 compatriots into the secret realm.But now, they were simply knocked out instead."Ugh…" The Lord of Foehn could only sighed gravely and lead his compatriots to cultivate in the valleys outside the secret realm.-At the Zoronda camp, Caleb, Luna, and everyone else were discussing the list of Zorondans they would be leading into the secret realm.After all, they had 400 spots this time!Naturally, Grendel let Caleb have the final say, as it wa
It was only then that everyone came to their senses and promptly bowed at Grendel, while Udal quietly calmed his Reiki but remained ready for a fight!"Hahaha! It's alright, don't worry about formalities." Grendel waved them off and quickly asked, "So, what was happening here?"Murin hurried over and told Grendel everything, and Grendel's eyes lit up hearing that his daughter and Caleb had spent the night together!He was grinning ear-to-ear as he turned to Luna again. "Well done, Daughter!"Everyone wasn't quite sure what he was praising her for—for being ready to bring their forces to war, or something else…Still, Grendel then turned to Yorba and Zahn, at once proud and confident as he demanded, "So, what do you think you're doing here, my fellow lords? Declaring war or Zoronda? Well, we will make sure to see this through to the end!"Yorba, Tobek, Tobik, and Zahn were all left trading dark looks at each other and decided to give up.It certainly was most unwise to start a wa
Seeing that the geezers now showed up, Udal strode up, growling icily, "Oh, and what are you geezers trying to do here? If you want to bully a Zorondan youngster, you'll find me reluctant to give way!"Yorba, Tobek, Tobik, and Zahn turned toward him right then, while their respective clan patriarchs appeared behind them!Their Reikis erupted—all of them were Scion rank one patriarchs!The Danmarch and Nistral patriarchs were even gloating at Udal. "Oh, you were still alive, fossil?""How about a few punches, just for old time's sake? Show me if your bones are tough enough!"However, Udal wasn't backing down as he smirked. "Well, if y'all aren't afraid to die, I don't mind playing with you. Even if I fail to kill every last one of you, I will make sure you will be crippled for life! Just try me!"At the same time, he had ignited his Reiki, sending it surging like a raging tide and ready to kill!The Danmarch patriarch bellowed right then, "Have you lost your mind, old man?! Are
"The Etherflame Sect will get you for slaying their own! You must suffer the consequences of your own actions!"Even as the young representatives from other factions kept hollering, they all froze at once as Caleb opened his tent and stepped out with a groggy Luna at his side.Udal and Murin who heard the ruckus and hurried over were stunned too, while Caleb glared at the angry mob and snapped, "Shut up! It's way too early in the morning—don't you rats need to sleep?!""Luna, you're… Oh!" Murin blurted, but soon, he and Udal were grinning ear-to-ear on their wrinkled faces!Luna nodded at them first before turning to snap at the angry mob, "What was that? Cajun and Horan are dead? Tell me, what does those ingrates dying have to do with Caleb?"Hearing that, one of the mob hollered, "He clearly had a bone to pick with them! It must be him! This crime is an outrage for a representative! He has no right being one!""Hah! And where's your evidence to prove that?" Luna demanded haught
Meanwhile, Caleb and the others were resting at the Zorondan camp at the valley.Then, under the cover of darkness, he cast a curious technique and sneaked to an encampment that stood separate from all others.In it were two youths, groaning and fuming in pain."Hmph! Caleb Crawford is dead meat! How dare he attack us!""That's right! We will show him what's what when we return to the Etherflame Sect!""We always return a favor!""Oof, ow… this hurts so much!""Fuck! We just want to get into the secret realm, but they had to deny us that too!"Naturally, in the dark tent, it was Horan and Cajun who were moaning and cursing Caleb endlessly."Cut."They then seemed to see a cool flash shooting at them from the darkness, their eyes still wide with shock as they died!It was precisely the one whose flesh they would gnaw on, but soon, all they knew was oblivion!After taking both Horan and Cajun's heads, Caleb sneaked back into his tent under the cover of the night.It was clea
At the council hall in Crawford House, everyone was furious after seeing that Xarik had healed.Jax snorted in disdain. "Tut, tut. It's only been two days, but those mongrels have the balls to harass us!"Brax chuckled in amusement. "What a joke. All of them—the Warks, the Urbans, and the Limbets,
Swish! World Burial Sword—Throttle!In a split second, the Overlord tore through Gauma's neck!The edge of the greatsword then vibrated for a moment, pulverizing Gauma's neck!Bang!World Burial Sword—Skybreaker!At the very next second, Caleb was already on top of Oakley, his greatsword bear
Eldin smiled. "That's right. It most likely was Celine, their matriarch. I'm almost certain they're trying to get everyone in the city to ostracize us.""Interesting." Caleb laughed coolly, his glare sinister. "I didn't massacre their clan because they showed no intent to kill me, but if they test
Watching as Wilbur charged at him, his murderous intent flaring, Caleb suddenly reached out with a palm, catching Wilbur's outstretched hand!In a single burst, he unleashed an aura far surpassing the Ether rank.Wilbur, who had been so proud of himself, was suddenly suffocating, his eyes bulging
