"How dare you disrupt Drakonia? You will be exterminated!"After a brief pause, Xayne made a cold phone call. "Deploy an armed helicopter immediately."Not long after, the sound of rotors filled the air. A Northern Plains armed helicopter appeared overhead, and a team of special forces rappelled down swiftly into the snow.They tied the elder's body to the helicopter and took off, circling the entire mountain range.This act was to send a clear message to the Lunisolar Circle hiding within the snowy mountains.The Lunisolar Circle stood at the peak of a towering snow-covered mountain within the range, a white establishment nestled in the snow.This place was the ancestral home of the Lunisolar Circle, which originated from these snowy mountains. Over time, the group expanded toward the central plains. However, fifty years ago, due to the combined forces of the KB Kings Circle and eight other groups, they were forced to retreat back to their ancestral home.In the dim and deep ha
Upon seeing the situation, Bison was furious and shouted, "What are you doing?!"However, a dozen soldiers immediately detained them."King of the North, what are you doing?! I am one of the chief elders of the Lunisolar Circle! How dare you treat an old man so rudely? Do you know what you're doing?!"Bison roared and was just about to struggle, but Xayne stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Bison's neck.In that instant, the entire Northern Plains Headquarters was filled with the terrifying aura of Xayne, sweeping across dozens of miles.Although Bison was also a powerful master, Xayne's aura completely suppressed him at this moment. His face was full of horror.'What's going on?! Why am I being suppressed by a youngling? I can't even release my aura!'When Xayne's eyes were cold, they were terrifying, filled with chilling killing intent.'Is this the luck of their military?'"Chief Elder Bison, this is the Northern Plains Headquarters. Standing before you is the Drakonia'
"Master, what do we do next? It's clear that the King of the North has something up his sleeve.""Yeah, Master, should we just head back and report this? Won't the Circle Master hold it against us?""And if we don't recover Chief Elder Guile's body, it'll be a disgrace to Lunisolar Circle."The disciples beside Bison were growing increasingly anxious, their faces showing deep concern."Enough." Bison's sharp and commanding voice cut through the air. His face darkened as he barked, "We'll return to Lunisolar Circle. This matter must be reported to the Circle Master immediately."With that, the group turned and left.Meanwhile, in the Northern Plains Combat Division Headquarters, Deuce stood respectfully beside Xayne. "Supreme Commander, they've left."Xayne nodded, his expression unreadable. "Send a few of our best men to follow them. Find out exactly where the Lunisolar Circle is located.""Yes, sir," Deuce replied, moving quickly to carry out the orders.Bison and his discipl
In an instant, the Circle Master of the Lunisolar Circle stood up in a fury, slamming his palm down and shattering the stone throne beneath him. He roared, "You arrogant brat! This is the Lunisolar Circle. Do you think this is your Northern Plains Combat Division? How dare you threaten me? You’re just a Senior Divine Commander, and I can kill you with a flick of my wrist."As his words echoed through the hall, the Circle Master's Bi-Divine Commander aura exploded outward, filling the entire space with overwhelming power.This was the true might of a Bi-Divine Commander.Even Xayne felt the immense pressure from the released aura.Though he had previously killed Guile, it didn’t mean he had reached the level of a Bi-Divine Commander.Challenging a Bi-Divine Commander while being just a Senior Divine Commander was a dangerous gamble.After all, the gap between a Senior Divine Commander and a Bi-Divine Commander was immense.At the Divine Commander level, each rank required unima
The Circle Master's cold eyes locked onto Xayne as if trying to read his thoughts."Circle Master, we can't hesitate any longer.""Circle Master, this is the Lunisolar Circle. We must kill him.""Circle Master!"The crowd shouted in unison.The Circle Master raised his hand and declared, "Fine. I accept your terms."As soon as he spoke, the elders and leaders of the Lunisolar Circle were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief."Circle Master. You can't. This is our ancestral land.""Circle Master, I'll deal with him myself if you're afraid!" Bison shouted, his eyes filled with killing intent as he prepared to strike.However, the Circle Circle Master of the Lunisolar Circle roared, "Stand down! That's an order!"Bison trembled at the command, glaring venomously at Xayne.Then, the Circle Master turned to Xayne, asking, "King of the North, does this satisfy you?"Xayne smiled coldly, mocking without hesitation, "I thought the Lunisolar Circle was full of tough men. It tu
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Serena asked, confused.Xander's expression was grave as he looked seriously at Serena. "My dear granddaughter-in-law, time is of the essence, and I don't have the luxury to explain everything in detail. The Grand Ceremony of Drakonia this time is fraught with danger. Xayne and his team will be leaving Drakonia to carry out a secret mission. "Meanwhile, ten Divine Commanders, over twenty peak Commanders, and dozens of Legend Warrior experts have already gathered near the borders of Drakonia. These forces plan to launch a surprise attack on Drakonia on the day of the ceremony."Upon hearing this, Serena was shocked. "Grandpa, is this true? So many powerhouses are planning a surprise attack on Drakonia? Wouldn't that mean..."Xander sighed deeply and said, "Yes, this is indeed a great calamity for Drakonia. If we can survive this disaster, Drakonia will undoubtedly rise and become the leader of the world. But if we fail, Drakonia is doomed."Serena fro
Serena nodded seriously, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Grandpa, I understand. When do we start?""No time to waste. We'll begin now. I'll explain the precautions and then take you to a special place," Xander replied.Shortly after, Xander led Serena away from the estate to a secluded estate near Paektu Mountain. At the entrance of the estate, two women dressed in white gauze robes, with white veils covering their faces, greeted them.From a distance, they looked like celestial beings, ethereal and graceful. Their slender figures, combined with the white robes and black stockings, would catch the eye of any man.As Xander approached with Serena, the two women respectfully bowed and greeted, "Master."Xander nodded slightly and instructed, "Take her to the Phoenix Pool.""Yes," the two women responded, and then one of them turned to Serena and said respectfully, "Madam, please follow us."Serena nodded and followed the two women into the estate. After passing throug
The atmosphere in the council hall was a mix of solemnity and excitement, with a palpable undercurrent of anxiety. After all, according to intelligence from all sides, foreign countries have begun to stir and are ready to attack Drakonia on the day of the Grand Ceremony of Drakonia to disrupt the ceremony. A solemn celebration like the Grand Ceremony of Drakonia, which announces its military strength to the world, would inevitably attract the whole world's attention. If there were any accidents on the day of the ceremony, Drakonia's international reputation would inevitably be hit hard."Your Majesty," Rhaega spoke in a heavy, concerned tone. "The neighboring nations have begun massing their forces along our borders. Drakonia's Five Pillars have deployed 500,000 troops to defend the border, but I fear it might not be enough."Each of Drakonia's Five Pillars had contributed 100,000 soldiers, who had been dispatched to the border three days prior.However, the 500,000-strong force s
Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w
"Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex
Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B
Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East
"Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead
"Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die
"Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen
"In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f
In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
