Chapter 378
With a mighty roar, the Sunfire Lion emerged from the Cloudveil Woods, signaling that the Blessed
Citadel was officially entering the fray, and the atmosphere of the battlefield grew even tenser.
“Commander Kashann, it is a rare asion that we all gather for a single cause. Let us witness the
Kings'' eptance. That''s not an unreasonable request, is it?” The Ster Precepts Commander''s
tone grew colder by the moment. As the foremost champion of the Nortnds, his craving for
Energy was insatiable. The thought of “a legacy spanning millennia” and “the ancient secrets of the
Kings” set his heart aze. If possible, he would stop at nothing to im it.
The Hidden Essence Commander also made his position known. “I have my doubts about your
intentions, Commander Kashann. Where exactly is vin? If you''ve yed us for fools... well, the
consequences... heh.”
His meaning was clear. “It''s not that we won''t help you, but you must be honest. If vin isn''t in the
ancient city, and you sent him away, then have we not been made jesters?”
“What of the Eight Orders'' pact of shared enmity? Have you eaten it like slop? Cobalt Strike has
been so tormented by Lord Viperbane, and you are still blind to it?” Bah pointed at them and
berated them fiercely.
“The whole affair began with the Kings'' eptance, and it is the primary issue we must resolve
today,” the Ster Precepts Commander retorted coldly. If not for his deep cunning, he would have
loved to p the man twice.
“Here''s two words for you, haha!” Bah spat, unsatisfied with just one spit, he spat again.

The Ster Precepts Commander and his allies were displeased, their expressions darkening.
Lord Warbringer''s voice thundered with authority and dominance. “You cannot protect vin. Hand
him over! The secrets of Antis belong to the Royal Realm, not to individuals!”
“You shameless cur, your entire family belongs to the Royal Realm. Offer them up! I’ll be the first to
apud!” Bah, growing even angrier, shouted from a distance. His earthy aura surged,
emanating a world-shaking sense of weight.
“Crack!” A fierce light burst from the eyes of Lord Warbringer, like thunder and lightning splitting the
sky, deafening to all. “Enough, Commander Bah. This is not the domain of the Earthbound
Spirits. Do not overstep!”
“Fight me. If you lose, leave the Nortnds! I, the Earthbound Spirits Commander, Bah,
challenge you.” He called out his challenge before the crowd, pointing across the distance at Lord
Warbringer, his battle spirit zing as if to set the heavens ame. He was filled with fury, wishing
he could vent it right there and then.
He had believed the Eight Orders were bound by shared hatred, a solid alliance that advanced and
retreated as one. But the conduct of the various Organizations today made him realize that the
bonds between the Eight Orders were not as strong as he''d imagined. Was it that the rtions
between the Eight Orders had grown distant? Or was the temptation of the Kings'' eptance too
great?
“Not a bad idea! You take care of one, and I''ll handle another. Lord Viperbane, shall we have a
heart-to-heart?” Jarad grinned menacingly, setting his sights on Lord Viperbane.
“Insolence!” The Five Lords shouted in unison. What an impudent pair!
“I am insolent, indeed. Come and strike me if you dare. Who will? If not Lord Viperbane, then who?
You, Lord Falconcrest? Lord Mountguard? Or you, Lord Skyveil! Is one not enough? Then face me
two at a time; I do not mind.” Jarad stood deliberately tall, looking down upon them from on high, his
gaze filled with scorn.
The Earthbound Spirits Commander stepped into the air, rising a thousand meters, standing at a
great height like Jarad, and also looking down upon the Five Lords.
From afar, the onlookers groaned inwardly. True giants of the Nortnds, even their quarrels were
fiery. Their roars, like thunder on the ground, shook the vast wilderness to its core.
