In one of the luxury cars, Tim Lewis was driving, Sean sat in the passenger seat, and Julia was alone sitting in the back seat, looking out the window at the familiar streets, her heart filled with thousands of emotions!


    She’s back!


    Six months ago Julia left the capital in anger, severing the father-daughter rtionship between her and Adam. That scene was still vivid in her mind, as if it were only yesterday!


    Six months!


    In the short span of six months, it felt like the world had changed. The capital today was no longer the capital of six months ago. With the threat of civil war looming, people were living in fear and trepidation! Julia too was no longer the Julia of six months ago. She had transformed from an ordinary woman with no abilities into a beginner cultivator who possessed dark energy, having truly embarked on the path of cultivation!


    How is Father?


    How is Mother?


    All those rtives and friends back home, are they alright?


    Although she left in anger back then, severing ties with Adam, rtionships can be severed but the blood ties of kinship are unbreakable, no matter what. It would be self-deception for Julia to im she couldpletely let go and not worry about Adam and the others at all!


    “Julia!”


    Seeing the distressed look on Julia’s face in the rearview mirror, Sean naturally guessed her concerns and said, “Do you want to go to Prince Adam’s residence and go back to take a look?”


    Upon hearing this, Julia’s body shuddered slightly. She shook her head and said, “No… no need.”


    To be honest!


    Julia wanted to go back, yet she also didn’t want to go back. Her emotions were very contradictory!


    If she went back, she didn’t want to face Adam, because she didn’t know what to say when she saw Adam, and it would only add to her sadness.


    But if she didn’t go back and take a look, she would never feel at ease!


    Thisplicated and tangled emotion was like a usually well-behaved and sensible child having a big fight with their parents, running away from home in anger. When they returned, they would have a feeling towards this home that was both familiar yet strange – the familiarity made them want to continue being close to this home, while the strangeness made them want to continue avoiding it!


    This feeling…


    Was difficult to handle!


    Yet also couldn’t let go!


    Many people must have experienced this before, right?


    Sean had too.


    So!


    Sean could empathize andpletely understood Julia’splicated feelings at this moment. Seeing Julia refuse, he smiled and said, “It doesn’t hurt to make a detour. If you don’t want to meet them, you can take a quick peek from the door…”


    After saying this, without waiting for Julia’s consent, Sean exchanged a look with Tim Lewis. Tim Lewis understood, and at the next intersection he immediately changed direction and headed towards Prince Adam’s residence!


    Just take a look!


    Don’t meet them face to face!


    For Julia right now, this was the bestpromise.


    “Mr. Mason, thank you…”


    A warm feeling surged through Julia’s heart as she looked at Sean’s back. She was grateful beyond words!


    Among the dozens of luxury cars, the seventy some Complete Stage cultivators all had Sean as their leader. As Sean’s car suddenly turned a corner, the others followed without hesitation!


    So, after about twenty minutes, dozens of luxury cars drove through the streets and alleys like a ck dragon in the dark night, arriving at the street where Prince Adam’s residence was located!


    However, before the cars had even stopped, Sean’s ears twitched. With his extraordinarily keen senses as a Bright Realm cultivator, he could vaguely hear the sound of crying and wailinging from Prince Adam’s residence!


    It was a woman’s cry!


    Moreover, not just one!


    Many people were crying together!!!


    “This is bad!”


    “Something happened!”


    Sean’s heart thudded as his expression changed slightly. He looked back at Julia, but Julia had not noticed anything amiss. Seeing Sean’s grave expression, she frowned and asked, “Mr. Mason, what’s… what’s wrong?”


    In fact!


    Not only could Sean hear the faint criesing from Prince Adam’s residence, he could also hear the conversations between those people. Just listening for a few seconds, he already roughly understood what was going on!


    But…


    Sean hesitated for a moment, unsure whether or not to tell Julia.


    Squeak!This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Just as Sean was undecided, four luxury cars suddenly came racing down the street from the other end. In the blink of an eye they arrived outside the gates of Prince Adam’s residence and mmed on the brakes beforeing to a stop!


    Immediately after, the car doors opened and several familiar figures got out of the cars – it was the n elders who had stayed behind in the capital – Ro Lewis, Benedict Young, Aron Lawson, Ruben Davidson… they were all here!


    “Mr. Mason!”


    “Mr. Mason!”


    “Mr. Mason!”


    After getting out of the cars, they immediately charged towards Sean’s side!


    Sean had just gotten out of the car when he heard Ro Lewis urgently say, “Mr. Mason, something might have happened in the Imperial Pce!”


    “What’s the situation?”


    Sean got out of the car, and Tim Lewis and Julia also got out. With them out of the car, the criesing from Prince Adam’s residence became much louder. Tim Lewis heard it, and Julia heard it too!


    Instantly!


    Julia’s face turned ghastly pale!


    “This is…”


    Ro Lewis and the others of course noticed Julia who got out of the car with Sean. They looked at Julia, hesitating over what to say. Sean let out a sigh and gestured for them to go ahead and speak inly.


    This matter…


    There was no use hiding it, so since Sean couldn’t bear to say it himself, he could only let Ro Lewis and the others tell it.


    “Yes!”


    Ro Lewis nodded and said, “We received news that after Lord Snow and Lord Fisher were summoned to the capital by His Majesty King Roscoe, they have been staying in the Imperial Pce. For some unknown reason, tonight, the two of them suddenly left the Imperial Pce and entered into Prince William’s, Prince Adam’s, Prince Green’s, and Prince Lird’s residences, and arrested all the members of the royal family!”


    “Every single one rted to the royal family, none were spared!”


    “Even the descendants of the former Crown Prince Ashby were not exempt. They too were taken away. It seems they were only capturing people with royal bloodlines, and didn’t touch the family members in the residences…”


    Taken away?


    All taken away!!!


    Upon hearing Ro Lewis’ words, Julia was instantly shocked speechless, scared silly. Her face was ashen, her heart thumping wildly, and her mind buzzing loudly. Her body shook violently and she almost crumpled to the ground!


    And Sean!


    He was equally shocked by Ro Lewis’ words. He had vaguely heard the cries and conversations in Prince Adam’s residence just now, and only knew that Adam had been taken away by Lord Snow. But he didn’t know that Lord Snow and Lord Fisher had acted on such a massive scale, capturing all the nsmen in one fell swoop!


    What were they trying to do???


    Now the ruler was King Roscoe. Prince William and Prince Green had previously belonged to Crown Prince Ashby’s faction. It would be understandable if, with civil war looming, King Roscoe arrested them preemptively to nip trouble in the bud, or even killed them as a deration of war.


    But what about Prince Adam and Prince Lird? They had always been unquestioningly loyal to King Roscoe!


    This!


    Did not make sense!


    Unless…


    Sean’s pupils suddenly shrank as he thought of a possibility!


    “Mother!!!”


    At this moment, having recovered from the initial shock, Julia could no longer hold back. Disregarding their previous estrangement, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she shouted and rushed into Prince Adam’s residence like a phantom!


    “Mr. Mason, this is…”


    Ro Lewis and the others all looked towards Sean. Sean let out a sigh and gestured for them to let her go.


    Then, Sean asked, “Have you all figured out Lord Snow and Lord Fisher’s purpose for capturing the n members?”


    “No!”


    Ro Lewis shook his head guiltily and said, “In recent days, the entire Imperial Pce has been guarded as tightly as an iron barrel. We tried all our connections to investigatete into the night, and only found out that after Lord Snow and Lord Fisher brought the n members into the Imperial Pce, they were taken to the Hall of Thrones, and none hade out since…”


    Hall of Thrones!


    Upon hearing these four words, Sean immediately thought of the underground altar below the Hall of Thrones!


    Beforeing here, Tim Lewis had said that King Roscoe had sent people to repair the blood pool in the underground altar, and used it to advance to Complete Stage. To truly activate the Soul-Devouring Grand Array, it required drawing power from powerful bloodlines!


    So!


    It seemed the next steps were self-evident. Lord Snow and Lord Fisher had only captured n members with royal bloodlines, clearly intending to use the powerful royal bloodlines to activate the Soul-Devouring Grand Array!


    In the middle of the night!


    After Adam and the others had been taken away for so long, things were unlikely to end well!


    It seemed…


    He was still a step toote!


    Who was it?


    Was it King Roscoe?


    Or Lord Snow and Lord Fisher?


    With these questions in mind, Sean strode forward and stepped onto the ny-five jade stone steps leading up to the main pce hall, wanting to go over himself and find out what was going on!


    However!


    Almost at the exact moment Sean stepped onto the ny-fifth jade stone step, his ears twitched and he faintly heard the cry of a baby. Due to the distance, the sound was very soft and weak!


    A baby!


    Sean’s heart stirred and he subconsciously stopped. Turning towards the direction of the sound, a thought shed through his mind: “How could there be a baby inside the Imperial Pce???”


    “If there is one!”


    “It can only be King Roscoe’s!”


    Just then!


    What Sean saw was the Emperor’s bedchamber. The baby’s cries wereing from within the Emperor’s bedchamber!


    In the next moment!


    Sean immediately thought of the child in Luna Porter’s belly!


    Was this…


    A premature birth???


    Damn!


    Luna Porter had previously imed she was pregnant with Sean’s child, causing rumors to spread that King Roscoe intended to use the Soul-Devouring Grand Array to refine Sean’s offspring’s bloodline to advance to the Bright Realm!


    This!


    Was also one of the reasons why Sean had urgently entered the capital!


    And now!


    Sean could confirm the Soul-Devouring Grand Array underground had already been activated by someone. So if the crying baby in the Emperor’s bedchamber right now really was Luna Porter’s child, really was Sean’s offspring, why was it still alive?


    Why hadn’t it been refined by King Roscoe???


    Whoosh!


    In his astonishment, Sean did not think too much. He immediately changed direction, turning into a phantom as he charged towards the Emperor’s bedchamber across the way. With Sean’s current abilities, one look would reveal whether it was Sean’s child, whether they were blood-rted!


    Waa! Waa waa!!!


    As the distance quickly closed, the baby’s cries grew louder and louder. Sean’s footsteps never stopped as he directly rushed into the Emperor’s bedchamber. Along with the cries, two women’s voices cooing and soothing could also be heard from a room!


    Moreover!


    There were two women!


    Sean heard:


    One of the women said uneasily, “Speaking of which, Miss Porter really was bold. In order to trick that wretched King Roscoe, she actually used her and her child’s lives as gambling chips. She induced earlybor. If preparations hadn’t been made in advance for doctors to immediately provide emergency care, I’m afraid this child would not have survived!”


    “You’re right about that!”


    The other woman sighed andforted the baby in her arms while saying, “There’s no choice, it’s all because only the scoundrel King Roscoe knew how to activate the Soul-Devouring Grand Array. He wouldn’t be easily fooled without seeing the child’s corpse…”


    These two were the young women who hade out from the underground altar! Comforting this baby was the “matter to attend to” that Luna Porter had asked them to do!


    Clearly!


    Luna Porter had deceived King Roscoe!


    Not only about the biological father of this child, deceiving King Roscoe until the veryst moment and giving him a nasty shock.


    Moreover!


    The baby corpse torn apart by Lord Fisher underground and presented as being cut out from her belly was not actually from her womb at all!


    This point!


    Luna Porter did not reveal up until King Roscoe died! Right until hisst breath, King Roscoe still felt immense grief and regret, thinking he had killed his own flesh and blood with his own hands!
