Chapter 271 Master, what are we really afraid of?!
[Your daughter-in-law Luna, well aware of Nathan's intentions, did not expose him but came to join her husband in facing death! The couple gained the trait: Till Death Do Us Part]
[United as a couple, their strength is unbreakable. Together in battle, their combat power increases by 10%, and their speed of cultivating psychic powers increases by 20%]
"???"
Ethan's face twisted in agony, enduring another day tormented by the couple's unyielding bond.
In the scene.
Nathan, realizing it wasn't the time for tender moments, locked eyes with Luna for a long time before frowning, "Luna, why are you here? What about the children?"
"They don't know."
Luna looked down at the countless Druids below the city walls, her voice soft but fearless, "But my dear, you can't hide it from them forever. The children have grown up, and except for Julian and his seven kids, I guess each of them knows what you're thinking."
Nathan took a deep breath.
He stared at the Druids, who could attack Cloudview County at any moment, and took the Death Coffin from Luna, his voice deep, "Then I hope they understand the meaning behind my actions and don't do anything foolish. Death Coffin, after our death, follow our bloodline to find our children, and forever fight for Blackwood."
As if understanding Nathan's words, the Death Coffin trembled, and inside, the Sky Corpses suddenly opened their eyes and knelt on one knee in the boundless sea of death.
...
In the Thunderfire Demon Cave, four Psychics flew on their swords!
They headed towards the deepest abyss of the demon cave, where Amelia emerged from the darkness, her brows slightly furrowed, "Brother, I couldn't find the master."
"If we didn't find him, then we didn't find him."
Lucas squinted slightly, "It's fate, then there's truly no other way."
Julian clenched his teeth, "What fate? Dad tricked us and went to risk his life alone. Brother, we shouldn't care about anything else. It's just the Druids, right? We just need to fight!"
The Celestial Star Swordmaster, who had come along, was silent for a long time before finally deciding to clear his throat, "Ahem, I still want to ask where Olivia is?"
"..."
This question from The Celestial Star Swordmaster silenced the three siblings, their eyes fixed on him, making his scalp tingle.
Finally, he waved his hand, "Actually, I also know a Basic Mastery expert named Bill, who is cultivating psychic powers beneath the Lost Abyss. My master once took me to meet him. If we can persuade him to leave his retreat, with Bill's skills, he could truly protect a county!"
Ten days later.
In a deep mountain, the bottomless abyss looked like a gaping maw ready to devour anything, surrounded by dead things.
Lucas, Amelia, and Julian stood outside the abyss.
The Celestial Star Swordmaster shouted, "Elder, our human borders are in great peril, and the Emerald Empire turns a blind eye! Before my master passed away, he brought me to meet you, saying you were the most chivalrous. The world is in chaos, and only a hero like you can save our twelve border counties from disaster! Please come out, elder!"
"Once you emerge, even millions of Druids are mere ants before you, easily wiped out with a wave of your hand."
"Compared to you, the so-called national advisor of the Emerald Empire is but mere dust. You should have come forth and looked down upon the imperial court long ago!"
An echo came from the depths of the abyss.
The Celestial Star Swordmaster paused, looked at the Blackwood people staring intently at him, and frowned, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
The three siblings shook their heads in unison, their eyes filled with amazement. If they hadn't been traveling with The Celestial Star Swordmaster all this time, they might have thought he was possessed. He was usually so proud, but now... his flattery was loud and clear.
Lucas suddenly froze, transmitting a message to his sister and brother, "It's working, there's a disturbance from below."
Upon hearing this, Julian shouted. Hosted by m_vl_em_p_yr
"Elder, come out! Let's go beat those damned Druids together. The ancient god is no more; it's time for you to ascend the throne!"
Lucas bit his lip, his cheeks reddening slightly, and shouted with difficulty, "I've heard of your unparalleled abilities, elder. As soon as I arrived, I could feel the regal aura of your retreat. How can such a peerless talent be seen only by us? The world should also know how mighty you are, now is the perfect opportunity!"
The aura from below the abyss, with each praise, pulsed like a rekindled heart!
A pair of bright eyes slowly opened in the darkness.
...
In the valley of Sunshine Prefecture, numerous ability vessels lay dormant.
Lord Jesse of Sunshine Prefecture frowned upon these vessels and the tents that nearly filled the valley, all belonging to people from Cloudview County and Glory City, as well as various factions from Blackwood.
Originally headed north, they had long stationed themselves in Sunshine Prefecture without departure.
Initially, Lord Jesse feared that the people from Blackwood might pose a threat to Sunshine Prefecture, given Blackwood's notorious reputation.
Now, all he could do was sigh deeply.
In the valley, Daniel from Blackwood was speaking to the newcomers from Glory City.
Carrier pigeons flew out of the valley, heading towards all corners of the Emerald Empire.
Around the valley, the people from Glory City silently sat around their tents, cleaning their weapons and checking their Psychic Gear and talismans, their eyes filled with resolve.
"Why must it be this way? Why? With such a vast world, why can Blackwood not find another place?"
Lord Jesse held a letter, also sent from Blackwood, convinced that it would reach every city and faction within the Emerald Empire.
[Cloudview County calls for help]
[Thirty years of wind and snow, a million righteous souls rest forever. The sacred words cannot erase the Azure Cloud's resolve; our generation regrets nothing, even if our blood stains the sky!]
A simple plea for help.
Lord Jesse seemed to see the thirty years of Druid invasions, where the Psychic warriors from the border towns heroically charged at the Druids, battling every day!
Yet... a royal decree... their thirty years of efforts were in vain.
Now, atop the city walls of the Azure Cloud border, stood a man.
The people of Blackwood from Cloudview County still held onto hope; they had not retreated and were ready to fight again!
The people of Blackwood in the valley below were set to return to Azure Cloud soon.
"What can I offer for help? Resist the empire's orders?"
Lord Jesse clenched his teeth, turned away, and his expression of reluctance finally turned into a long sigh, "Who dares to help? And how could we possibly win?"
Ten days later.
The Competent Force Psychic of Sunshine Prefecture sat in the dojo, lifting his head with his disciples as the ability vessels from Glory City took to the skies.
The people of Blackwood did not head north but went to Cloudview County instead.
Even though their calls for help had been sent across the entire Emerald Empire without a single response, they were prepared to fight again!
"Master, not a single person from Blackwood has gone north, not even their subordinates have deserted," reported a disciple who had been monitoring Blackwood, his eyes filled with shock.
Before this, he had even bet with his fellow disciples on how many from Glory City would flee.
These ability vessels, like heading towards the underworld, yet the people aboard remained uncomplaining and proud!
A disciple of Sunshine Prefecture bit his lip and questioned his master, "So, Master, it's been thirty years, and we've never supported the border. Now, when the border has the advantage, why does the national advisor want to abandon them? "
"The people of Glory City fear neither death nor danger; can't we resist and just watch our land fall into the hands of the Druids? Master, what are we really afraid of?!"
As he spoke, more and more disciples could no longer hold back.
"Yes, Master! Cloudview County is right before us, and Blackwood has blocked the Druids for over thirty years, preventing the war from reaching our Sunshine Prefecture. Are we to just stand by now?"
"The people of Blackwood are returning, they will have no support, Master, if they perish, they won't perish at the hands of the Druids, but by our own hands!"
"Have you considered? Today's Cloudview County could be our Sunshine Prefecture tomorrow!"
