"Anders might not have set things in motion himself, but this definitely traces back to him. The Quiton family could be involved, too," Dustin said.Scarlet said urgently, "Even if we know it's a trap, we can't just abandon Adam and the others.""We're not abandoning them," he replied. "But we're doing this with a plan."He quickly added, "Grace, you take the main force and move in from the front to mount the rescue, but don't rush straight into the fight. Stay on the outer perimeter first, observe the situation, and delay as long as possible. Scarlet, you come with me. We'll take another route.""Another route?"Dustin pointed to a location on the map. "Here. This leads to the far side of the ruins. If we can go around it and sneak in from behind instead of the front, we might catch them off guard."Grace looked at him with a complicated emotion flickering across her face. She finally understood why she still relied on him even after his cultivation had been sealed because his

After Anders left, Scarlet couldn't help but speak up. "That man's smile feels so fake. You can tell at a glance he's not a good person.""Anders really isn't someone to underestimate," Adam said in a low voice. "I looked into him before. He didn't gather so many people in such a short time just because of the Mosey family's reputation. He's cunning and ruthless, the kind of opponent who is extremely difficult to deal with."Grace turned to Dustin and asked, "What do you think?"He considered it carefully before answering, "Anders claimed he came here on his own to pay a visit, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Quinton family wasn't behind it. "The Quintons want to support Sir Mosey's ascension to the throne. For them, your status as a legitimate royal blood makes you both an obstacle and possibly a useful pawn."Grace let out a cold laugh. "They want to use me as a pawn? That depends on whether they're capable of it.""In any case, we should be careful," Dustin said. "Ander

Grace looked slightly surprised before asking, "What do you mean?"Dustin lifted his gaze toward the unreachable summit. "I can't say for certain," he said. "It's just a feeling. This mountain is older than anyone can comprehend. Even its existence feels like a mystery. "And those reclusive families, like the Quintons, clearly know things we don't. Their determination to climb the mountain can't simply be about acquiring a few treasures."After a brief silence, Grace replied, "Whatever they're planning, we can only deal with it one step at a time. At the very least, we're still alive."He turned to her and smiled faintly. "You're right. Survival comes first. Everything else can wait."The two of them sat side by side, looking out over Mount Aethermoor under the cover of night. In the distance, the occasional roar of demonic beasts echoed through the mountains, sometimes followed by a distant scream from somewhere unseen. Each sound reminded them that beneath the night's calm

Scarlet instinctively tightened her grip on the Wildfire Spear, but Dustin lightly pressed her wrist, signaling her not to act rashly.Elowen stepped toward the stall. Without even sparing the burly vendor a glance, she tossed down a pouch of celestial stones and reached for the sword."Hold it!"A voice cut through the air.Another man stepped out from the crowd. He appeared to be in his early 30s, wearing a blue-violet robe, and had a cold, predatory look on his face. Faint arcs of lightning coiled around his body, the unmistakable bearing of the Jornell family.He said with a strained smile, "Miss, the baleful aura on that sword conflicts with the stormcraft my family cultivates. It would make an excellent subject for study. Why not let me have it?"Only then did Elowen lift her gaze to look at him. Her eyes were as cold as frost."Who do you think you are?" she shot back. "You think you're worthy of competing with me for it?"The man's expression immediately darkened. "Don'

"If you're planning to trade, I recommend the stalls on the western side," Corvin continued as he guided Dustin and the others through the market. "The eastern section belongs exclusively to the Quinton family and the Moseys. The items there are good, but the prices are high. Some of them even come from questionable sources."The old man selling pills in the north is reliable. His goods are genuine, though he has a strange temper. The stalls in the south belong to rogue cultivators. Their prices are lower, but the quality varies, so you must know how to judge them yourselves."Corfin continued talking at length while leading them through the market until they had made a full circuit. Only after finishing the tour did he finally leave, but before departing, he gave one last warning."Remember this. Don't offend anyone from the Quinton family. A few days ago, a rogue cultivator at the late-stage Adept argued with one of them. Not long after he left the market, they found his body ha
Chapter 2790
After passing through Spiritfruit Valley and spending two full days climbing along the rugged mountain path, Dustin and his group finally arrived at a new place. It was unlike anything they had encountered before on Mount Aethermoor.The mountainside suddenly opened into a broad terrace, a relatively flat platform carved into the slope and large enough to cover several football fields. What surprised them most was the sight of a temporary marketplace appearing there. Dozens of crude stalls were scattered across the open ground. Some vendors spread animal hides across the earth and laid out a handful of faintly glowing spiritual artifacts. Others propped up rough wooden frames and hung cloth canopies from which rows of pill bottles and medicinal flasks were displayed. Many people threaded between the stalls, stopping to examine goods and haggling in low voices."This… This is incredible!" Scarlet exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the scene. "A marketplace in a place like this?""As
