Chapter 1266
Author: Blanco Burn
A person dressed in a light gray jacket asked, "Excuse me, why is this happening? The pharmaceutical expo auction has never been postponed in years. At the very least, there should be some explanation. Otherwise, it's hard to silence the rumors."

Just as Marcus expected, when they realized the other party was too strong, they would look for another way out.

"Well..." Marcus hesitated for a moment before saying, "The news was announced at the last minute, and I don't know much about it either. It seems that a big shot couldn't make it, and it was this big shot who asked Mr. Ritchie to postpone the expo."

‘What?’

This was equivalent to a stone casted into the water, stirring up waves crashing against the shore.

The murmurs and speculations only intensified.

"What's going on? Mr. Ritchie received orders from a big shot and postponed the expo?"

"Can this big shot be the person who bought the Folksworth Hotel yesterday? I heard Mr. Ritchie personally went to welcome him and escorted

    Xayne smiled and did not try to stop Serena. She finished changing and said, "Remember to come downstairs for lunch. I'll be waiting for you."Xayne nodded.Just then, a message came through. Xayne checked his phone and saw it was from Ace."Commander, we found no records of Blood Butcher leaving the city. He has not left Folksworth. If he did, it was likely through a secret military route."Xayne pondered for a moment before finishing changing and leaving the room.The second to fourth floors of the Folksworth Hotel were restaurants with top-notch facilities. After Xayne and Serena finished eating, they hurried to the pharmaceutical expo center.If Serena wanted, he could have the expo held at the hotel.When they arrived at the expo center, Xayne and Serena were already late. The leaders of various industries and big shots inside and outside Folksworth had already arrived at the expo center and taken their seats.As Xayne and Serena entered the lobby, all eyes turned to them.

    "Next, let's invite Mr. Ritchie to give a speech." Marcus spoke into the microphone. As the manager of the expo center and the host of the pharmaceuticals expo center, Marcus's task was quite heavy—keeping the atmosphere lively, bridging the gap, and ensuring nothing was delayed.After his speech, the whole room erupted in applause. Not because they wanted to flatter Marcus, but to some extent, they tried to give Ritchie respect.However, Ritchie seemed lost in thought.Marcus spoke again, "Perhaps the applause wasn't enthusiastic enough. Let's give another round of applause to invite the president of the Folksworth Association, Mr. Ritchie, to the stage."Marcus led the applause, and the room was again filled with thunderous applause.At this moment, Ritchie stirred.Instead of heading toward the podium, Ritchie headed straight for the door. Mr. White was being blocked outside.Ritchie hurried to the door, attracting everyone's attention.Marcus picked up the microphone and sa

    Marcus smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"Xayne said, "We didn't participate in the previous proceedings. Let's go through it again."His words caused a commotion throughout the venue. He was making everyone go through the proceedings again just because of him.No one took Xayne's words seriously. After all, this was the pharmaceutical expo, not a personal showcase. A single voice could not override the collective.Marcus was also at a loss. This was simply impossible.However, Ritchie walked up to the stage with his cane, giving Marcus a look that made him step down. Ritchie then took the microphone."Since Mr. Xayne has a request, let's go through the proceedings again. According to the procedure, I should be on stage now, delivering the exposition of the pharmaceutical expo auction."His words caused another uproar throughout the venue.Ritchie treated Xayne as if he were his big benefactor. Indeed, one could think of it this way—

    Dixon did not bother and ordered the waiter to deliver the poison-filled drink to Xayne.Dixon felt ecstatic—it was finally a success. He had no more interest in the auction items. His eyes were fixed on the clock on his wrist.He was on a three-minute countdown.Within three minutes, if Xayne succumbed to the poison, the mission would be a success.If Xayne did not die within three minutes, the mission would fail.Time passed minute by minute, and the auction items were ending.Finally, the last item—the Revelation Weed—was presented on the stage.Xayne immediately bid. "Two hundred thousand."Silence filled the room. No one bid against Xayne. He single-handedly purchased all the auction items.Marcus smiled. "Let's congratulate Mr. Xayne. Today, he has acquired all the auction items. I believe the biggest winner of today is undoubtedly Mr. Xayne."As soon as Xayne's name was mentioned, he suddenly straightened up and collapsed.It would take three minutes, not a second mor

    Dixon felt his hands becoming unusually heavy, unable to press the buttons on the phone.The next moment, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if a mouthful of blood had completely blocked his throat.Xayne said coldly, "An eye for an eye. Now, taste your poison."Dixon covered his mouth, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Gradually, his vision darkened, and he collapsed completely, becoming a lifeless body.Dragos appeared at the medicine exhibition center and knelt before Xayne. "Supreme Commander, we have completed the mission. Blood Butcher is now staying in his villa. The situation inside the villa is unknown, but he can't escape."Xayne asked, "Where are the other three Dracoguards?""Drakix and Draluna are guarding outside Blood Butcher's villa, while Draven is outside the city with fifty thousand soldiers. We're just waiting for Blood Butcher to open the door and let the fifty thousand soldiers in."Xayne nodded. "Good. Guard Blood Butcher's villa. Today, I will take Bloo

    High in the sky, amidst the jungle, one could occasionally spot a magnificent villa. This was a three-story mansion with a spire atop it. Two sentinels were on the spire, holding binoculars and scanning the surroundings.As scouts in the military, their sharp observational skills and agility were their survival skills.Inside the villa, Blood Butcher held his phone in his left hand. With just a command, fifty thousand fully armed soldiers outside the city would be led into the city by Dyron.As a seasoned commander who had seen many battles, this revealed an unbelievable situation.Xayne, who had experienced many battles, was killed by a poisoned drink.As the commander-in-chief of the Folksworth Military Theater, he would become the next Supreme Commander of Northern Plains, and fifty thousand soldiers would be under his control.All of this indicated that the plan was going smoothly, without any hiccups.Blood Butcher sipped his tea and gazed at the faint red twilight in the s

    Xayne knew this, and Blood Butcher knew it even better.Blood Butcher had a bad feeling and kept repeating “No” in his head.Blood Butcher returned to the villa, quickly picked up his phone, and dialed Dixon's number directly.No one answered the phone.Blood Butcher didn't give up and called Dixon.Still, no one answered the call.Blood Butcher wanted Dixon to keep an eye on Xayne and personally deliver the final blow to Xayne's body. Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease.Blood Butcher didn't know that one of his eyes was already blind, and the other eye was also deeply afflicted.In a trench outside Folksworth, in a trench, sand and stones flew on the battlefield, and a strong wind rose, lifting layer after layer of dust.Dyron stared at the fifty thousand soldiers stationed outside the city, not blinking once.The plan was to fight to the death.Even a moment of relaxation on the battlefield could result in severe consequences.Gradually, the wind stopped, and the dust sett

    Dyron shouted, "Open the city gates."As the gates opened, Ace led fifty thousand soldiers straight in.Xayne's orders were clear. They were all from Drakonia. They would be spared if they were willing to submit. Those who refused would be killed without hesitation.Therefore, Ace's fifty thousand soldiers headed straight for the Blood Butcher lineage, along with Dyron and his deputy on the city wall.In Dyron's shocked eyes, Dragos appeared directly behind Dyron."Who are you?" Dyron, esteemed as a Grand Mater Warrior, was formidable, but he had no awareness of Dragos appearing behind him, which undoubtedly frightened him.He didn't know if this person was a friend or foe.If he were a friend, Dyron would naturally be happy. After all, no one wanted to become an opponent of a terrifying person. However, if it were an enemy, it would be a disaster.Dragos replied calmly, "I'm one of the Dracarium Dracoguards, Dragos."Dyron widened his eyes. They were Xayne's men.Xayne was d

    "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
