Chapter 1558
Author: Blanco Burn
"At least you're not entirely a fool." Barty had no need to deny it, so he nodded.

"Hmph, dream on. You think tying me up is gonna work?" Serena retorted.

"Whether it works isn't up to you. Before coming here, we did our research. Your husband dotes on you immensely. You're his only weakness. If we can use you well, even the arrogant King of the North will bow before the Hwark family, submitting to us in the West Dangria," Barty sneered.

This was their plan, the two brothers' scheme.

If even the King of the North from Drakonia were to submit to the Hwark family, they could become the foremost clan in the country.

"You're despicable and shameless," Serena cursed.

"Enough of that. Go ahead and curse all you want. Let's see how your husband reacts when he finds out you've been kidnapped," Barty said, centering Serena in a video.

Before long, both Barty and Ansel appeared.

"Make the call," Barty instructed.

Ansel chuckled and immediately dialed a number.

"Hello, Serena Group? You

    "Yes. I'll contact the Folksworth Military Headquarters immediately," Draven replied, swiftly executing the command.Ten minutes later, anyone standing at a high point in Folksworth would see armed soldiers pouring in from all directions, converging in a pincer formation towards a single point, their speed astonishing.Inside the room, Serena was lying on the bed, tears streaking down her face.She tried to struggle, but the bindings were too tight, and the drugs had weakened her body."Xayne, please don't come," Serena murmured.She didn't want Xayne to come because she knew the other side must have set traps waiting for him."It's already half past six in the evening. Won't the King of the North come?" Ansel said nonchalantly."I don't know. Anyway, if he doesn't come, this girl will be for you. It would still be worth our time," Barty remarked."That's true. I'll go take a shower first. In case we have to go into battle later," Ansel said gleefully, preparing to go wash up.

    Upon hearing Xayne's words, the Hwark brothers instinctively trembled. They felt a bone-chilling coldness and murderous intent radiating from Xayne. He might destroy the Hwark family.At that moment, they were filled with immense dread.Xayne coldly glanced at them and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Capture them and notify the Hwark Family. If they want these men back, they must offer the sincerest apology. Otherwise, these two will never return to West Dangria. My three hundred thousand Dragonbreakers Legion will personally step foot in West Dangria.""Yes, Supreme Commander." a deputy officer respectfully replied.With that, Xayne left the villa.Outside the villa, Serena was already waiting for him in the car. Xayne had sent someone to escort her out because he didn't want her to see the miserable state of those two bastards. Otherwise, she would surely have nightmares tonight."I'm sorry for frightening you," Xayne said softly."No. It's okay," Serena replied nervously,

    "Yes, it seems that the King of the North has extraordinary capabilities, managing to suppress all information. Although the villa echoed with screams all night, it didn't cause much of a stir," the steward said bitterly."To hell with his extraordinary capabilities. My two nephews are trapped in Folksworth. How do I explain this to my deceased younger brother?" Trent closed his eyes in pain."They are not entirely blameless. According to the surviving members of the Hwark family who were not at the villa at the time, they kidnapped someone important to the King of the North, which angered him, leading to this," the steward explained cautiously."What nonsense is that? Even if they did kidnap a woman, so what? They are from the Hwark family. How dare anyone lay hands on someone from the Hwark family? Has the world gone mad?" Trent roared.The steward lowered his head, not daring to reply. Although he knew that Barty and Ansel had brought this upon themselves, since the master said

    "What? I'm repairing the elevator," the worker lowered his safety helmet and said."But the elevator isn't broken, why are you fixing it? It's been running smoothly," Serena replied."Someone called me yesterday, and said there were jerks during operation, significant vibrations, so I came to check," the worker explained."Okay, go ahead, then." Serena nodded, not paying much attention to him.When the elevator arrived, Serena stepped out.Once Serena had left the elevator, the worker's face under the safety helmet was revealed. It was a disfigured face, eyes filled with malice and madness.He adjusted his toolbox, unzipped it, and began assembling something from inside.Half an hour later, he emerged from the elevator and smirked at the surveillance camera, revealing his zombie-like face.Instead of leaving, he headed toward a room.By the time the worker in blue emerged, it was already 4 PM, which meant he had been inside for six hours.The worker didn't leave immediately.

    "How's it going? Have you found her?" Xayne arrived in hurried strides."No, we haven't found Ms. Serena," a firefighter replied.Xayne took out his phone, checked the recent calls, and calculated that there were less than ten minutes left."What do we do? Ten minutes, and they haven't located Serena." Xayne's mind raced. The more urgent the situation, the cooler his mind became. It was a trait honed from years on the battlefield in the Northern Plains.Seconds ticked away, less than nine minutes remaining."If it comes down to it, we'll have to rely on the bomb disposal expert to defuse the bomb," the fire chief said."No way. With this little time, we have no certainty of defusing the bomb. Even the best bomb expert in Drakonia wouldn't be able to do it," the bomb disposal experts agreed."Forget it. I'll do it myself. Let me know the time once you've defused one," Xayne decided.With a leap, Xayne entered the building, punching open the elevator doors.Firefighters had al

    However, the expected explosion did not occur. Instead, the bomb was split in half.Outside the building, there was a deathly silence at first, followed by an eruption of cheers."Now that the danger has passed, let's get the company employees in to help search. They know the company better and will be more likely to find her," the firefighters suggested.Xayne nodded and swiftly returned inside the building to search room by room.Serena struggled to breathe inside a dusty blue barrel, muttering incoherently, "Xayne, Xayne."Over an hour later, the crowd moved the heavy object off the blue barrel, revealing Serena inside, drenched in sweat and barely breathing."Quick, inform everyone!" A firefighter carried Serena out.When Xayne arrived, he found Serena exhibiting severe physical reactions. If not treated promptly for cerebral hypoxia, she might become an idiot or a vegetable even if she survived.Xayne immediately picked up Serena and rushed her toward the ambulance.Xayne

    "Take advantage of the strength you have now to call out a few more times. You might not be able to later." Xayne's voice suddenly echoed throughout the secret chamber, sounding to the blue-clad worker like a demonic echo."What do you want? I don't know anything. Let me go," the blue-clad worker gritted his teeth."You're still being stubborn? I love interrogating stubborn people. The harder you resist, the more excited I get," Xayne said, taking out a whip and lashing it fiercely across the blue-clad worker's body.Soon, gruesome wounds appeared on the blue-clad worker's body, bleeding profusely."Help, it hurts so much!" The blue-clad worker screamed."Tell me, who instructed you to plant the explosives," Xayne demanded as he continued to beat and interrogate."What explosives? Who sent me? I don't understand what you're talking about." the blue-clad worker continued to dodge the question."You won't talk, huh? Let me show you how it feels to have salt water on your wounds,"

    On the other end of the line, Ace responded respectfully, "Yes, Supreme Commander! I'll deploy the troops right away!"Xayne's eyes glinted with a cold fury after hanging up the phone.The Hwark family had crossed the lines. No matter how deep the Hwark family's roots ran, no matter their connections in the capital, reaching for Serena meant certain death.Meanwhile, Trent was seated at the head of the hall inside the Hwark residence. His face was grim as he pointed angrily at Ryder, who was sitting on the couch."What happened? Why did you fail? What was Nighthawk doing?!"Ryder's face was equally serious. "Dad, don't worry. It's just one failure.""Get Nighthawk in here!" Trent demanded coldly.Soon, a hunched middle-aged man with a sinister look entered the hall, bowing to Trent and Ryder. "Mr. Trent, Mr. Ryder.""How could you mess this up?!" Trent barked, his anger boiling over.Nighthawk immediately dropped to his knees. "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't anticipate the King o

    "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
