Chapter 1882: A Nouveau Riche
“In general, they won’t interfere!” Reece Knapp responded.
“They prefer to let various forces compete first. Once one side emerges victorious, they’ll step in, saving themselves a lot of trouble!”
“Which are the strongest forces in the West Domain now?” Harleen asked.
“There are three major forces: Carefree Pavilion, Cold Feather Palace, and Blood Prison Sect,” Reece Knapp replied again.
“Among them, Carefree Pavilion is relatively the strongest, while Cold Feather Palace and Blood Prison Sect are about equal in strength.”
“Are all three sects in Chaos City?” Harleen continued.
“No,” Reece Knapp shook his head. “Only Blood Prison Sect is in Chaos City; Carefree Pavilion and Cold Feather Palace are in Radiant Sky City.”
“Do you know the cultivation level of the strongest individuals in these three sects?” White Tiger asked.
“I’m not entirely sure, but I do know that the previous master of Carefree Pavilion was definitely a Heaven Dao Realm expert,” Reece Knapp said, shaking his head slightly.
“What is your situation?” Casey asked.
“There are four major families in Chaos City, and our Knapp family ranks first,” Reece Knapp took a deep breath and continued.
“Before the West Domain King had any issues, we four families would pay tribute to him annually.”
“So, over the years, although other forces eyed us covetously, they didn’t dare go too far because of the West Domain King’s presence.”
“But now that the West Domain King is dead, they have no more scruples. As of today, the other three families have all been swallowed up by Blood Prison Sect.”
“Of the thousands of people in those three families, only two or three hundred survived, nearly wiping them out.”
“Our Knapp family is in a slightly better situation, but…”
Before he could finish his sentence, two powerful auras approached from the front of the passageway, and the pressure within the passage instantly increased.
In a few blinks of an eye, two black-robed elders appeared within everyone’s line of sight.
Their eyes were sharp and unfriendly, exuding a strong bloodthirsty aura.
Both were strong; one was at ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, and the other at eighth-rank.
“Hmm?!” Seeing the two, Reece Knapp’s pupils contracted coldly.
Behind him, Amy Knapp and the middle-aged man showed a flash of fear on their faces and shivered.
“Boyce, so you really hid here. We’ve been looking for you!” The ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm elder glanced at Billy’s group before turning to Reece Knapp.
“Connor Lloyd, do you really want to exterminate us?” Reece Knapp exhaled a breath.
“Boyce, you’d better not be ungrateful. The fact that our sect master has taken a liking to your eldest daughter is a blessing for your Knapp family. You should be grateful!” Connor Lloyd responded coldly.
“If I were you, I’d obediently take your eldest daughter back to see the sect master. As long as he is satisfied, your Knapp family can still stand tall in Chaos City!”
“Connor Lloyd, do you believe what you’re saying?” Reece Knapp retorted.
“Your sect master is merely interested in my daughter’s physique to help him break through to Heaven Dao Realm!”
“Once he achieves his goal, not only will my daughter’s life be in danger, but the Knapp family will also be doomed!”
“Boyce, enough nonsense!” The other elder with a goatee spoke sternly.
“I’ll give you three breaths to decide. If you still don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll put you to death!”
“If you dare kill Elder Reece, I’ll commit suicide right in front of you!” Amy Knapp took a deep breath and spoke to them.
“Heh heh, Miss Knapp, don’t forget that your father and grandfather are still in Blood Prison Sect. If you dare commit suicide, I’ll send them down to accompany you!” The goateed elder sneered.
“You…” Amy Knapp gritted her teeth, her face pale.
“Time’s up!” Connor Lloyd said sternly.
As he spoke, his aura reached its peak, and the pressure around them increased again.
“I’ll go back with you!” Amy Knapp took a deep breath and responded.
“Elder Reece, don’t!” Reece Knapp pleaded.
“Elder Reece, we can’t escape. If I don’t go with them, both you and my father will die!” Amy Knapp replied.
She then turned to the others and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go with you. Release Elder Hu and the others!”
“If you’re unwilling, then don’t go!” At this moment, Billy spoke calmly.
Hearing his words, all five people looked at him simultaneously.
“Kid, what did you say? Say it again?” The goateed elder glared at Billy.
“I’ll give you three breaths. If you disappear from my sight within that time, you’ll live; otherwise, you’ll die!” Billy spoke calmly again.
“Hahaha…” The goateed elder laughed out loud.
After finally stopping his laughter, he looked at Billy and said, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Do you know what happens to busybodies?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Harleen and Ivy with a wicked look in his eyes.
After a brief pause, he continued, “Because of what you just said, these beauties behind you will come with me!”
“Idiot!” Stout muttered. “You’re about to die and still don’t realize it. You’ve lived all these years for nothing!”
“Bastard! You’re courting death!” The goateed elder roared and raised his hand to strike Stout.
“White Feather, kill him!” Billy ordered sternly.
White Feather let out a cry and unleashed a substantial wave of energy from its mouth like thunderbolts.
“You seek death!” The goateed elder didn’t take the flying beast seriously at all.
Giving up on Stout, he raised his hand to form a seal and attacked White Feather.
After a muffled sound, the elder was sent flying thousands of meters away with all his bones shattered. He died mid-air.
Seeing this scene, everyone including Reece Knapp gasped in shock.
An eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert was killed in one move by a flying beast?!
“This… Dare to kill someone from Blood Prison Sect? Die!” The half-step Heaven Dao Realm elder roared and formed an ancient beast with his hand to attack White Feather.
White Feather cried out and charged directly without any other action.
After a loud explosion, the ancient beast shattered instantly. The ninth-rank elder flew out like his companion and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“How… how is this possible…”
The elder fell to the bottom of the passageway. After struggling to say a few words, he died with an incredulous expression on his face.
Thud!
Reece Knapp and his companions’ jaws dropped simultaneously as they were petrified on the spot.
A ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert was also killed in one move?!
What kind of beast is this?
The middle-aged man had the most complex expression. His face turned pale as he recalled his earlier arrogance and felt a wave of fear.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I wasn’t lying to you guys,” Stout said cheerfully as he ran over to collect two storage rings from their bodies.
After checking their contents briefly, he looked disdainful. “Only a few hundred sovereign-grade spirit stones? Two paupers!”
Casey and the others: “…”
Stout’s nouveau riche attitude was infuriating!
A few hundred sovereign-grade spirit stones equaled millions of king-grade spirit stones. How could he look down on that?
Thud!
At this moment, Amy Knapp knelt before Billy.
“Please save my father and grandfather. If you help us, I’ll be yours forever…”
Cough… Azure Dragon and others choked and instinctively glanced at Harleen.
