Chapter 1105
Author: Blanco Burn
"Don't worry. We'll clear you of all charges if it’s all your husband's doing. You're just an innocent bystander. Nothing will happen to you."

Serena shook her head vigorously and shouted, "No! My husband didn't tell me to steal any secrets! You're bullshitting! My husband is the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains. He has made significant contributions to Drakonia. He wouldn't do such things. It’s all a set-up!"

The sergeant frowned and ordered, "Pluck her nails off!"

The burly man gripped one of Serena's fingernails with the plier and asked, "Will you talk?"

Serena trembled as she shook her head, saying, "No, I—"

"Stubborn little brat!" The burly man rebuked, slowly pulling at Serena’s fingernail.

An excruciating pain spread throughout Serena's body. It felt like her soul was getting ripped apart, causing her entire body to tense. She bit her lips until they bled and then screamed, "Ahhh!"

The burly man had pulled out her fingernail, causing blood to splatter and Serena t

    The Military District Seven soldiers were stunned. The captain saluted and shouted, "Duty Captain Ericson at your service, Mr. Hammond."Ericson knew who Hammond was and that stopping him would resemble seeking death.“Company, salute!” Dozens of soldiers stood at attention and saluted.Hammond scoffed and asked coldly, "Where are the businesspeople from Venzor? Take me to them now."Ericson responded, "Sir, yes, sir!"He then quickly led the four elders to cell nine. Inside, Serena was in a bloody and fleshy mess. Blood dripped from her fingers and fell to the ground. She was unconscious and unable to hold on any longer.The burly man tried several times to wake her with cold water, but it no longer worked. He said, "Sergeant, it's useless. She won't wake up.”The sergeant glanced at the time and said grimly, "Is there another way to make her confess?"After some thought, the burly man glanced at the red-hot branding iron in the nearby stove and said, "I could use that."The

    The sergeant bled from his lips as he looked up and saw the figure standing before him. He was terrified, quickly lowering his head and stammering, “M-Mr. Hammond, sir…”Hammond was outraged as he turned and glanced at Serena, who was bloodied and bound to a chair. The older man was anxious as he looked at the young lady. Hammond roared, “Quick, get her to Dr. Stephen now!”Several guards untied Serena from the chair and then removed her from the interrogation room. Meanwhile, Hammond glared at the sergeant and said, “Take him away, too. Don’t let him contact anyone without my permission. Wait until the Supreme Commander returns before any further discussion.”“Right away, sir!”Afterward, Hammond jogged to catch up with the other guards. Warren and the other two elders were waiting in the courtyard. Warren’s expression turned grave when he saw the Drakonian guards carrying a severely injured woman out.‘It’s over for whoever did this. Something terrible is about to happen.’Warr

    The lieutenant was in a dilemma. One side was the Drakonian Council, and the other was Flame King. He dared not defy either side. “Please forgive me, Mr. Warren. My unit has orders to seal this place off. If you have any issues, please consult Flame King.”Ultimately, the lieutenant gritted his teeth and waved for his men to reinforce the blockade.Warren had never felt so angry. A cold aura engulfed him as he roared, “Let’s see if any of you dare to shoot me when I try to leave this place!”When he stepped forward, the five hundred soldiers stepped back. They dared not shoot Warren as he was the Grand Elder of the Drakonian Council. His authority was even higher than Flame King’s in certain aspects.“Let’s leave,” Warren told the other elders as he took another step, causing the soldiers to step back again. He continued to walk, and the soldiers kept retreating.The lieutenant’s expression turned solemn when he saw the elders almost leaving the area. He shouted, “Stop them! That’

    Hammond nodded and said, “All right, I’m coming with you.”Even Lexter and Leroy agreed. “We’re coming, too.”The four elders headed straight to Flame King’s mansion in Drakonix.Ten minutes later, Stephen’s villa descended into chaos. His housekeepers were busy the whole time, carrying bloody water, clean water, and gauze in and out of the room.Inside, Stephen nervously performed surgery on Serena. He was shocked when he saw her horrifying scars and ten missing fingernails. Such injuries would have been fatal for an ordinary person, and they would have died long ago.Although Serena held on, she had a high fever and kept mumbling Xayne and Coco’s names. After four hours of surgery, Stephen left the room, covered in sweat. He sighed and shook his head helplessly.Dragos anxiously approached and asked, "Dr. Stephen, how is she?""Her injuries are too severe. I've even performed acupuncture to prolong her life, but she only has three days. She’ll be okay if she survives these thr

    Baruk and Edwin were shocked. The latter asked, “What are you saying, Commander Xayne? We’re only half a day from Black Prison. Why would you want to turn back now?”Edwin was anxious as he had a mission to rescue the young master of the Black Riders. Even Baruk was puzzled, asking, “What happened, Mr. Xayne? Why the sudden change of plans?”The fear in Xayne’s heart did not subside. He knew his instincts were always right. He sensed something had happened to his wife.He glanced back at the duo and said, “I apologize sincerely, but I must return due to personal reasons. We’ll resume our visit to Black Prison once I’ve sorted things out back home.”Edwin grew agitated, saying, “Commander Xayne, I thought you said you wanted to rescue your grandfather. Why would you go back when you haven’t done anything? What if your grandfather is in the Black Prison?"After looking at the isolated black island for a moment, Xayne muttered, "Grandfather, I'm sorry for being an unfilial grandson.

    Xayne frowned and said, "Contact Dracarium Headquarters."“Right away, Drakon King.” Draven followed Xayne’s orders and soon received a message. The former said urgently, "Drakon King. Dragos issued an order through Dracarium three hours ago.”"What’s the order?" Xayne asked."He ordered all personnel from Dracarium to gather within Drakonia. Madam Serena is in critical condition. If Madam Serena’s life is still at risk in three days, Dragos and the others will destroy Flame King’s mansion and its people." Draven sighed, his heart bursting with anger.A raging fury engulfed Xayne's eyes. He roared in anger, “Serena’s life’s in danger?! Fly to Drakonix as soon as possible.”His previous unease made sense at that moment. His entire body trembled with anger.'Flame King, you're courting death!'…The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back on the mansion’s balcony on the ninth floor. He gazed at Drakonix’s scenery, exuding the aura of a mighty king.Drake walked over and bow

    Drake quickly sent an imperial decree from the pavilion straight to Flame King’s mansion.At Flame King’s mansion, a large number of his guards faced off against the Drakonian Council guards. Both sides had thousands of armed soldiers. Additionally, there were continuous arrivals of military trucks around, from which more soldiers appeared.Flame King’s guards knew they were facing formidable enemies. Even Warren and the other elders led a thousand Drakonian Council guards to surround Flame King’s mansion.At the main entrance, Flame King's two thousand guards were on high alert, aiming their guns at the Drakonian Council soldiers. The atmosphere was tense, on the verge of erupting.Warren, Hammond, and the other two elders stood proudly before the mansion gates. The elders were furious. Warren roared, “Tell Flame King to come out and see me!”Flame King wore his Flame Commander's robe, with the Kirin Dagger at his waist and a pistol on his hip. He sat on the commander's seat in t

    The officer glanced at Flame King and said through gritted teeth, "No one asked me to do this. I did it myself."He suddenly stood up, grabbed a pistol from a soldier's waist, and shot himself in the head. The sudden scene caught Lexter and the others off guard. Meanwhile, Flame King looked at the body lying in a pool of blood and told Lexter, "Mr. Lexter, what's going on?"Lexter expression darkened as he turned to Warren.Warren stared at Flame King and said coldly, "Flame King, you and I know the truth. There's no point beating around the bush. I came to demand justice. If you can't give us a reasonable explanation, I'll demolish your mansion today."Flame King frowned. "Mr. Warren, although you are the grand elder of the Drakonian Council, you’re in my house. According to the laws of Drakonia, I have the right to subdue or even kill intruders who trespass without authorization."His words silenced everyone. His eyes glinted as he stared at Warren and the others. The tension be

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
