Chapter 623: The Ironmaw Blockade.
Around the Phantom Petal RegionApproaching the Tipsy Tea InnDusk had fully settled across the Phantom Petal Region.The last light of day bled slowly into the horizon, streaks of amber and crimson fading into deep violet.Above, a thin crescent moon began its quiet ascent, pale and sharp against the darkening sky.The road ahead stretched through rolling terrain, eventually narrowing into a valley passage carved between two rugged slopes.The two luxurious carriages moved at an unhurried pace.They had been traveling like this ever since leaving Florentis—steady, composed, almost leisurely.There was no visible urgency in their movement.The equinores trotted with disciplined rhythm, hooves striking stone and gravel in soft succession.It was as if they were on a scenic journey rather than venturing into uncertain territory.Inside the front carriage—Daku sat near the window.Du Shiye and Venak were engaged in light conversation, but Daku seemed distant.His gaze remained fixed on
Chapter 622: The Weight of the Gilded Crown.
Back in Florentis CityThe Pogoda EstateHigh above the inner courtyards of the Pogoda Estate, within one of its most private chambers, stood Devi Pogoda.The chamber was vast and solemn, its stone walls engraved with ancient protective arrays that pulsed faintly with restrained energy.Incense burned slowly in a bronze censer near the corner, the smoke rising in delicate spirals toward the high ceiling.Devi stood before a massive open archway carved into the wall.There were no windows—only a grand opening that overlooked the entire estate.Even though Oasis of Lunaris had long since departed the city, Devi’s perception remained expanded, stretching far beyond the estate walls, beyond Florentis itself.He had been watching.Observing.Calculating.Now, slowly, he withdrew his spiritual sense.He took in a deep sigh.“The kid has finally left,” he murmured to himself.His golden eye glimmered faintly, a subtle ripple of energy flowing through it as residual perception retracted back
Chapter 621: The Ghost of the Saint & The Phantom Trap.
No one attended to the two young cultivators.One of them was on his knees, screaming in agony, clutching his grotesquely mangled arm as tears streamed down his face.The other stood beside him in a daze, face drained of all color, trousers damp, lips trembling but unable to form a single coherent word.The bustling gate of Florentis did not halt for them.Merchants continued shouting.Carts continued rolling.Travelers continued presenting identification tokens to the guards.Only a few curious glances were cast their way—nothing more.Eventually, a guard stationed near the gate stepped forward, irritation etched across his face.“Take that noise somewhere else,” he barked sharply. “You’re disrupting the peace of the city gate.”The injured cultivator could barely respond between his screams.The guard frowned, clearly unwilling to get involved in whatever trouble they had provoked.“Move!” he snapped again. “If you’re injured, seek a healer. Don’t block the entrance.”The friend fin
Chapter 620: The Saint’s Shadow and the Shattered Arm.
At the Gates of Florentis CityThe main gate of Florentis was bustling as usual.Merchants shouted over one another.Guards barked orders to regulate the flow of travelers.Carts creaked under heavy cargo. Horses neighed impatiently as their riders waited for inspection.Dust hung lightly in the air, stirred constantly by boots and wheels grinding against the stone road.Just outside the gate—Two magnificent carriages stood apart from the common traffic.They were beyond luxurious.Each carriage was drawn by four powerful equinores—majestic, high-bred beasts with hlack sleek coats that shimmered faintly under the sun.Their muscles rippled beneath polished harnesses inlaid with silver threads.Even their hooves seemed specially reinforced.The carriages themselves bore intricate carvings along the polished darkwood panels.Runes were etched seamlessly into their frames—not crudely drawn, but masterfully structured, glowing faintly when viewed closely.From the outside, they appeared
Chapter 619: The Departure and the Distilled Poison.
Next Morning — Florentis CityWoods EstateThud!!!Thud!!!Thud!!!Blow after blow echoed across the wide stone training field within the Woods Estate courtyard.The early morning air was crisp, still carrying the faint chill of dawn.The sun had only just begun to rise, casting pale golden streaks over tiled rooftops and the dew-kissed grass bordering the courtyard.Servants moved quietly in the distance, careful not to disturb the intensity unfolding in the open grounds.At the center of it all—Oasis of Lunaris and Delvan were exchanging strikes.Not playful taps.Real blows.Raw.Measured.Controlled.Venak, Daku, and Vesta stood off to the side, observing in silence.“Mm… the kid is really good. Amazing,” Venak thought as his eyes followed Delvan’s movements carefully.Delvan’s fists cut through the air with impressive precision.His stance was grounded, balanced.When Oasis struck, Delvan parried cleanly—forearm meeting forearm with a sharp crack.When Oasis shifted angles, Delv
Chapter 618: The Prince’s Ambition and the Shadowless Serpent.
A few breaths after the vessels had passed one another, the sea gradually swallowed the distance between them.On the deck of the Verdantian ship, lanternlight swayed gently as the waves rolled beneath the hull.Prince Aelric Evergreen stood at the stern for a moment, watching the silhouette of the other vessel shrink into the darkness.The wind tugged at his emerald-green cape, the embroidered golden vines along its edges glinting faintly beneath the lanternlight.“You looked concerned about them, Young Master Aelric,” Thasma said as he stepped closer, lowering his voice.Aelric did not immediately answer.His eyes remained fixed on the horizon where the faint glow of the other ship’s lantern had nearly disappeared.“The thing is,” Aelric began calmly, “I recognize them. At least the name… and the insignia.Not those people specifically—but their faction.”He finally turned slightly toward Thasma.“So I wonder what they are doing on this side of the realm. And I wonder whether the no
