But once Felix entered the Great Imperial Sect's territory, it would all be beyond everyone's control. Xena knew very well that the Great Imperial Sect still had a Supreme Elder whose strength was unfathomable.
No matter how powerful that mysterious woman might be, there was no way she could stir up the slightest trouble here.
"Mr. Cunningham, how could you..."
Xena smiled bitterly. There were things she couldn't say out loud. She was well aware of the kind of person Olly's apprentice was. He was someone who only cared about personal gain. He became arrogant and reckless, thinking he had the sect's support. There was no need to investigate what had happened. Felix must have been the first to discover the snakefruit, and Olly's apprentice had tried to kill him and steal it, only to be killed himself in turn.
On this side of the world, people would say he deserved it. However, according to Dragonia's laws, Felix had still committed murder, and there was no doubt he would be charged with excessive self-defense.
But what was the point of thinking about that now?
"Felix, every year on the anniversary of your death, I'll remember you," she muttered.
There were only two guards at the gate, and Xena could have easily slipped out. But Jaxon had warned that doing so would be a betrayal of loyalty that would damage their relationship. She could only stay put and let the situation unfold. Boom!.
Suddenly, a deafening crash echoed throughout the hall. Everyone in the Great Imperial Sect, including Xena, heard it clearly. Her eyes flickered with mixed emotions, and she could only respond with a long, weary sigh.
"Mr. Cunningham! Someone has crashed the main gate!"
In the council hall, an apprentice had rushed in to report the noise. Jaxon' stood headed outside.
up and
"How bold! Let's go!"
No one could have expected Felix to arrive in such a manner. Was he not afraid at all? Once one had entered the Great Imperial Sect, a massive martial training arena would come into view. This was where the Great Imperial Sect apprentices practiced. At that moment, Felix was already standing there with Vivian beside him, and behind them
stood 21 figures in red-and-black cloaks, all wearing spine-chilling masks.
These 21 individuals were members of Earthen Hall.
Each hall within Dragon Alliance had its own responsibilities. Earthen Hall specialized in assassinations, so they prioritized quality over quantity. While there were only a little over 20 of them, every member possessed formidable skills, particularly in assassination techniques.
Although they weren't skilled at direct battle, they were more than sufficient to go against the Great Imperial Sect.
Even the chief of Earthen Hall had requested to join Felix, but Felix declined.
At that moment, Jaxon arrived with a group of the Great Imperial Sect's top martial arts
masters.
"So, you are Felix?" Jaxon asked coldly.
Felix's expression remained grim.
"Cut the nonsense! You have five minutes to bring Jack here, unharmed. If not, I'll make sure there isn't a single brick left standing."
Vivian tossed an hourglass onto the ground, and the sand began to flow. The message was
clear.
Jaxon squinted his eyes.
"You're quite arrogant, aren't you? You have no respect for the Great Imperial Sect. I don't even need to ask. I can already tell that you killed two of my apprentices."noveldrama
Felix didn't respond. His gaze remained fixed solely on the hourglass.
Seeing this, Jaxon shifted his focus to Vivian.
"So, is this the woman who killed Olly? Hah! At least you have some nerve and showed yourself instead of hiding."
Hearing these words, Felix's expression twisted with disdain.
"If the woman you speak of had really come here, there wouldn't be anyone left alive in the Great Imperial Sect," Felix said.
