Chapter 1223
Author: Oldwell
Remus heard Gemma's words and slowly opened his eyes as though in a trance. As he beheld Gemma standing before him, a shiver ran through his body.

He couldn't quite determine if it was the breathtaking scenery, the moonlight, or maybe the wind playing with her tousled hair, but he suddenly found her incredibly beautiful.

His heart quickened its pace.

Gemma keenly observed the subtle shifts in his expression, and her heart surged with joy.

She leaned against Remus' chest, her voice growing even softer as she said, "You're the only man I've ever been willing to give everything for, Remus. I truly care for you. Can't we consider being together for the rest of our lives? Please, reconsider going to the Herbal Pavilion."

She tilted her head up. Her large, watery eyes were blinking as she gazed at him.

Remus was noticeably taken aback and lowered his gaze to meet hers. From his vantage point, her allure was undeniable.

His tone softened slightly as he replied, "If I don't go to Her

    Gemma's heart sank as she watched Remus walk away, feeling utterly helpless. She whispered under her breath, "I'll leave after you're dead."Meanwhile, Lance took the lead in the Herbal Pavilion, flanked by Deputy Masters Egbert and Lionel Joseph. Behind them, a formidable contingent of nearly 100 skilled alchemists followed. Together, they exited the main hall, crossed the tranquil courtyard, and finally passed through the gate.As they walked out, three people approached them. Behind them was a young couple, Marsh and Elsie, both wielding longswords. Leading the way was their master, Master Zaiden Hugo.Lance quickly greeted him with clasped hands, "Master Hugo, your visit has brought glory to the Herbal Pavilion. Please forgive me for not meeting you sooner."The crowd echoed his sentiments, chanting in unison, "Welcome, Master Hugo!"In the grand tapestry of existence, Zaiden's significance remained a mystery to most, but to the disciples of the Herbal Pavilion, his true sta

    Zaiden was completely puzzled, not understanding what they were talking about.He had come in search of the previous night's mysterious genius, not for the troubles they were discussing.Observing Marsh and Elsie's expressions, it was evident that they definitely knew something. Given their capabilities, it was unlikely they could have found the Oblivion Grass so swiftly. Thus, he deduced, an alchemist must have been involved, and the Herbal Pavilion was the obvious source.Zaiden thought to himself, "Could it be that Lance intentionally didn't mention the genius but instead talked about recent troubles to get me to help with the trouble first, and then introduce the genius to me later?"With that thought in mind, Zaiden maintained his pretense of offering sincere assistance, and he furrowed his brow as he inquired, "Have you not uncovered any traces whatsoever?"Lance shook his head in frustration. "He's elusive, well-hidden."Egbert interjected, "We suspect he's nearby, layin

    Upon hearing the name "Remus Calsberg", a wave of realization swept through the crowd at the Herbal Pavilion. Disbelief and shock were etched on their faces, as they had not expected the infamous Remus to not only confront them directly but to do so in such a bold manner."Remus Calsberg?" Marsh and Elsie exchanged astonished glances. It dawned on them that he was the same person who had killed Draig. The perplexing question that loomed over them was how did Remus Cosby become Remus Calsberg?In the following moment, Egbert, overwhelmed by anger, couldn't contain himself any longer and shouted with a fiery temper, "You arrogant scoundrel! You dare to step foot into the Herbal Pavilion and challenge death? Tonight, I will ensure your utter defeat!"Lionel's eyes were filled with fury. "We were about to come after you, but you've taken the initiative to come here. Since you're here, you'll stay here forever!"They both unleashed their spirit energy and ascended into the sky. Wi

    As the alchemists unleashed their power, a vast hollow formed in the sky above Remus, drawing in debris from around the Herbal Pavilion.The debris then cascaded down from the hollow, transformed into meteors, and relentlessly bombarded Remus.Initially positioned 30 yards above, Remus was compelled downward by the sheer force of their attack, descending halfway before he increased his spirit energy output to avert a further descent.He sensed his protective spirit energy steadily wearing away under the unrelenting assault, dissipating at a pace even more rapid than when he had confronted Doug and the four Nascent Soul peak cultivators together back at Tanjen. In fact, it was depleting at a rate more than three times faster.It was worth mentioning that these alchemists were all proficient in techniques from the sacred lands. While their individual capabilities might not match those of regular cultivators, their collective power was indeed formidable."These Sacred Land techniques

    Zaiden knew his disciples very well, and their expressions alone had already told him everything.Remus Calsberg being both an alchemist and possessing such strength could only mean one thing.The person he was looking for wasn't part of the Herbal Pavilion.Amid the intense standoff, Lance implored Zaiden, "Master Hugo, we need your help! Please, lend us your strength!"He did not want to waste any more time. If Zaiden's disciples couldn't handle it, then he, as their master, should step in. Lance was also well aware that Zaiden could easily eliminate Remus. The alchemists above all bowed in unison, pleading, "Please, Master Hugo, lend us your strength!""Remus Calsberg!" Egbert's tone turned cold.He continued, his tone filled with disdain, "You dare to step foot into Herbal Pavilion, deluding yourself into thinking there are no formidable individuals here? Do you truly believe that consuming secret pills can momentarily empower you enough to challenge us? "For Master Hugo,

    Upon hearing Lance's suspicion, a collective intake of breath rippled through the room, leaving an air of tension in its wake.Such a decision would not only thwart their quest for revenge but also raise the status of Remus and the Tanjen Organization, potentially shifting the balance of power.Marsh and Elsie shared a meaningful look, acutely aware of the gravity of the situation, while Zaiden appeared to be genuinely contemplating the proposition.Without awaiting Zaiden's response, Lance implored hastily, "Master Hugo, I have devoted countless years to refining pills for the sacred lands, and though my contributions may not be substantial, my dedication has been unwavering. "Remus poses a threat to the Herbal Pavilion that we cannot afford to underestimate. Please, I implore you to weigh this decision carefully."Furthermore, his current strength is not solely the product of his cultivation efforts. As you can observe, he has only reached the late Golden Stage, and his display

    Gemma truly believed that Remus wouldn't be able to leave Herbal Pavilion alive. The feud between Remus and Herbal Pavilion ran deep, and his recent actions only deepened the rift. Remus had just humiliated Lance and even used force, there couldn't possibly be a way out for him anymore.In the world of cultivators, battles frequently concluded in mid-air. If Remus were to set foot on the ground, it would signify his defeat, and defeat meant death.As for the prospect of an alchemical duel, the Herbal Pavilion most likely would not even consider it as a viable option. They saw no need to go through such trouble when they could simply eliminate him."Serves him right!" she muttered bitterly, "I tried to stop you, even going so far as to use my sacrifice to stop you. But you refused to listen!" Her emotions shifted from concern to scorn. "I almost gave myself to you ... Now you see my worth? You shall regret it!"With a blend of frustration and determination, Gemma rose to her feet

    "Master Walker, if you were to lose, do you agree to surrender the Herbal Pavilion to Remus Calsberg?"Lance replied with confidence, "Indeed. I would not only hand over the Herbal Pavilion but also willingly kneel before him and address him as my master. Since I have committed to this, I will not turn back on my word!"Lance's confidence in winning was unwavering. His reluctance to compete stemmed from his belief that it was simply a waste of time.Zaiden declared solemnly, "Alright, since both parties have agreed, let's begin now!"Once Zaiden officiated the duel, the disciples of the Herbal Pavilion couldn't help but sneer. They all had the same thoughts. From that moment on, it meant that Remus Calsberg's life had begun its countdown.Lance raised his hand, and with the release of his spirit energy, he opened the furnace and levitated the herbs into it. With another flick of his finger, flames ignited beneath the furnace."Amazing!""Even the simplest task of arranging herbs

    At that moment, Darsia was located in the eye of the storm.All the people had gone into hiding, while all members of the military department were ready. Every warrior and cultivator was poised for action, and all the beats were glaring fiercely.Kaiser stood at the front, with Remus' partners behind him, followed by all the people of Darsia. They were all facing east, waiting for Amelicon's forces to arrive.Anove them, Francis, Roman, the four ghost kings, and even Candace had all gathered there, their expressions serious as they solemnly looked toward the east.Everyone remained silent and still, just waiting.After about four hours, on the sea surface directly east of Darsia, waves finally appeared. Soon after, a massive and overwhelming force from Amelicon arrived.In reality, when considering the number of people and equipment, Darsia's Mortal Realm was comparable to Amelicon's. In fact, with Darsia having the home advantage, its equipment was more complete, and its firepow

    Time kept passing by.The four ghost kings were stationed at different corners of Darsia. Meanwhile, Roman continued to recover his energy, and Francis gazed into the distance, still and deep in thought.At the very top, Rafael and Melody were still unconscious in the formations.As for the Mortal Realm, the people were already aware of what was going to happen. Given the significance of the event, it was important to inform them in advance so they could be prepared.Unlike in the past, there was no panic. Instead, everything was very orderly, and there was no need for excessive organization. Everyone knew what they needed to do.This was what Francis referred to as having depth and experience. Darsia had a history spanning millennia and had been through a variety of events.Although none of them were as critical as the potential threat of national destruction they're currently facing, they'd gone through similar situations dozens of times and had learned lessons from history.N

    Both Roman and Francis remained silent, acting as if the other didn't exist.Neither of them knew how much time had passed, but eventually, they both looked at each other simultaneously. Francis' gaze was calm. On the other hand, Roman's gaze initially held a hint of anger but then shifted to a sense of calmness.The reason why the two were looking at each other was straightforward. Roman was still suspicious of Francis, and Francis knew that.After about half an hour, Roman finally couldn't hold back and said, "I want to hear the truth!"Francis retorted, "Is it really necessary?""It's absolutely necessary. The survival of Darsia's three realms is at stake, and I must get to the bottom of this.""All you need to know is that I've returned to defend Darsia against external threats, and I won't be taking any action against you in the short term."Roman chuckled. "Even if you attacked me, what difference does it make? At worst, I face death, but this is an era of great upheaval w

    In the end, this issue was still raised.Kaiser's lips twitched slightly. He had been wondering the same thing but didn't have the chance to ask.Discomfort also appeared on the ghost kings' faces. They had naturally thought about the matter, too, but due to their fear of Francis, they didn't know how to bring it up. Moreover, considering Francis' demeanor, it seemed fine not to ask.But now that Roman had voiced that question, all they could do was wait for Francis' response.Francis asked casually, "Why do YOU think Amez helped me and let me return?"Roman remained unfazed. "I'm not sure. That's why I need you to answer!"Francis looked at him intently and replied, "Alright, I suppose it's not just you who wants to know. The others are probably curious, too."In that case, I'll tell you. The reason I gave Amez is straightforward—I wanted to return for revenge. Amez believed that my revenge against you all would be highly effective, which was why he decided to help me recover."

    Based on the analysis, this was indeed the case. Remus had been gone for so long, and the fact that Tyson, as his mentor, hadn't shown up yet was quite unusual. So, what was he planning?Just as everyone was speculating, Francis suddenly spoke up. "Amez is coming with Amelicon's deities."Everyone suddenly turned to look at him, their eyes widening uncontrollably. Did he just say Amez was about to arrive?Even though they already knew they would be coming, hearing it directly from Francis was still quite shocking.Francis ignored their expressions and continued, "So, no matter what the Monarch's mentor is plotting, it no longer matters. The most important thing right now is figuring out how to get through the present situation."Everyone else's expression became serious. Francis' words made sense.Bringing up Tyson was merely a distraction from their argument about the Three Realms' ruler. While it was important to investigate what Tyson was planning, it was less significant comp

    "It can only be me!" Francis immediately added.As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked at Roman. Since none of them were eligible to compete, Francis' comments were directed solely at him. How would he respond?Roman's expression changed, and he was unsure of how to respond. If he acknowledged Francis, wouldn't that mean admitting defeat, rendering all his previous efforts futile? Additionally, it was embarrassing.But if he refused to acknowledge Francis, his current capabilities just didn't allow it. There was no way for him to win against Francis at the moment. What should he do?After a moment of reflection, he replied, "With external threats looming, it's too early to consider this issue. We don't even know if we can withstand the current challenge. If we manage to get through it, there's still time to think about that later."He could only delay the matter now.Francis said calmly, "It's precisely because we are facing external threats that there

    Finally, Roman crashed against the giant blade, and a sudden loud boom rang out.Then, something completely unexpected happened—the massive blade suddenly shattered like glass. Countless fragments scattered through the air like shooting stars, flying a short distance away before disappearing completely.As for Roman, he remained in the same spot where the massive blade used to be, completely unharmed.Roman burst into an exaggerated and unprecedented laugh, echoing continuously through the space."Why did this happen?""Could it be that the emperor has had a secret plan all along?""But the emperor wasn't protected by any energy. He shouldn't have been able to shatter the giant blade.""Why..."The four ghost kings were utterly shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. They knew very well just how terrifying the blade was.Perhaps in their prime, they might have been able to withstand it, but in their current state, they couldn't even be sure they could dodge it. Yet, Roman did

    Even at this point, Roman still couldn't believe Francis would truly act against him.His reasoning was still the same—he didn't believe Francis would just stand by and watch as Darsia was destroyed and its people perish. He didn't believe Francis would simply watch this land be devastated and taken over by outsiders!"Of course!" Francis responded succinctly, and as soon as these words were spoken, the blade started dropping down on Roman.The ghost kings' expressions drastically changed, filled with terror in an instant, forgetting to even fight back.On the other hand, Roman knew he had to defend himself but continued to persevere, not believing that Francis would go to such extremes.But at that moment, Kaiser shouted from below, "Wait!"Kaiser had witnessed the entire scene and was already completely stunned by the suddenness of everything. He was momentarily in a daze, but when he saw the giant blade descending, he realized that if he didn't speak up now, it would be too la

    Hearing these straightforward words, Roman, the four ghost kings, and Kaiser were all stunned. They couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. Why would Amez help him recover? The implications behind this fact were hugely problematic."Why… Why did he help you recover?" Roman still asked.The ghost kings were trembling more and more noticeably. Kaiser also began to shake uncontrollably because he already had a bad feeling about the situation.Francis openly stated, "Because I promised to be his inside contact for attacking Darsia, making it easier for him to take over this land. Do you think there's any other reason he would help me?"Francis burst into laughter, one that was openly and extremely mocking, deeply disdainful.The four ghost kings stepped back simultaneously upon hearing these words, driven by a mix of fear, but also because it was an uncontrollable reaction.To be honest, just facing Francis alone was already beyond their capabilities. Even more daunting was the
