Uh…Lucas opened his mouth, but no words came forth; he was speechless.That beautiful woman was Darryl's wife.How was that possible?The next second, Lucas rolled his eyes and sneered at Darryl. Then, he said, "Stop pretending! This gorgeous woman's life is in your hands; how can she not obey you?"Then, Lucas strode over to Jackie. He said gently, "Lady, is Darryl forcing you to call him hubby? Don't be afraid to tell us the truth. We are the Famed Sword Manor. No matter how strong Darryl is, he will not dare to cause any trouble."Lucas had an emboldened expression when he said that. Yet, at the same time, he stared at Jackie as well.Gorgeous! Extremely gorgeous!Slap! Jackie slapped Lucas' face without any warning! At that moment, Jackie could no longer take it. She had played along with Darryl so that they could leave the place as fast as possible. After all, she had utterly depleted her internal energy. She needed to return to her sect as soon as possible to recuper
“Lucas!”Finally, Jacob reacted. He frowned and asked Lucas, “What is going on?”His nephew had always been arrogant, yet he had knelt in front of a woman. So, he was confused.Swoosh! Everyone from the Famed Sword Manor looked at Lucas closely as they waited for his answer.“Uh—”Lucas wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thought for a while, then said, “This heroine has helped me before, so she is my savior. I did not recognize her from afar just now.”Lucas was still extremely frightened. Did he not know who Jackie was? She was famous for her cruelty and viciousness. If he were to expose her identity, he would be dead meat.Luckily Lucas was quick-witted, so he created a lie and said that Jackie was his savior.Woo!Everyone nodded in realization as they let out a long sigh.That woman was Lucas’ savior; no wonder he knelt when he saw her.Woo!Darryl, who stood next to Jackie, frowned.Jackie was an arrogant and cruel person. How could she have saved Lucas’ life? Th
Woo! Everyone’s eyes brightened. At the same time, they finally understood the reason.Lucas had accused Darryl as a bad person. How could the woman, as Darryl’s wife, not be angry? Silence! At that moment, the entire Sword Casting Pool was in such utter silence that the sound of a pin drop could be heard.“Lucas!”Darryl chuckled and looked at the man. “I think you should tell us the truth now. What happened that night?”Even though he still did not know the connection between Jackie and Lucas, Darryl believed that Lucas would not dare to say any nonsense anymore.“Uh—”Lucas’s expression looked bitter. He muttered something under his breath before he looked at Jackie and shuddered. He could not continue his words.He had slandered Darryl to help Jackie seek revenge, but how could he tell them that? “Tell us!” Jackie reprimanded him coldly. She was still furious, so she did not even think about it. At that moment, Jackie had utterly forgotten about the mission that sh
Parker bit her lips as she looked at Darryl. Then, she said, "I hope that you won't blame us for the misunderstanding. If you are ever in any trouble in the future, all you have to do is say the word, and the Famed Sword Manor will be there to help you out."Parker's exquisite face was filled with sincerity when she said that.Darryl was an influential figure. She had almost damaged their relationship due to a misunderstanding, so she must mend it well."Sure!"Darryl nodded as he waved goodbye to Parker.The Famed Sword Manor had unparalleled skills in weapon forging, so their alliance would only bring him good fortune.A few minutes later, they were on the hillside a few kilometers from the Famed Sword Manor. Darryl stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked at Jackie with a smile. After that, he stared at her meaningfully."What are you trying to do?" Jackie was extremely uncomfortable under Darryl's gaze; she was anxious.Darryl smiled and said, "If my guess is righ
"Ambrose, why are you here?" Yvette asked."Auntie, we can deal with the questions later—" Ambrose walked forward quickly to untie Yvette. His handsome face looked heartbroken. Finally, he said gently, "Auntie, are you alright? Are you hurt?"Ambrose could not hide the concern on his face. He observed Yvette to see if she was injured.Yvette was one of the closest people to Ambrose—she was like a mother and sister to him. He was heartbroken when he saw her in such a poor state."I'm fine." Yvette smiled and shook her head. Then, she asked, "Ambrose, why are you a general with the North Moana Army?""I—"Ambrose lowered his head awkwardly. He said, "A month ago, the New World fell into Yang Jian's hands. Father Emperor bowed to Yang Jian because of me. So, I'm here to work for Yang Jian!"His tone was complicated. Yvette had been the New World Princess once. If she had known that the New World had fallen, she would be very disappointed.However, Ambrose was surprised to see her
"Your Majesty, I—" Ambrose shuddered. He opened his mouth, but he did not know how to explain himself."Stop! There is no need for explanations." Yang Jian was an impatient man. He did not bother to say anything else. Instead, he pointed at Ambrose and said coldly, "Take him down!"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!Gonggong and the other powerful cultivators flew to the sky and rushed at Ambrose."Ambrose, be careful!"Yvette trembled; she was extremely anxious. She wanted to help him, but she had not recuperated from her depleted energy. She was not much of a help.Ka-cha! At that moment, Ambrose could not think. Then, a golden beam flashed in his palms, and the Tyrant Hammer appeared in its place! He had not wanted to make things complicated with Yang Jian.However, Yang Jian continued to force Ambrose; he did not give him any path to retreat. So, Ambrose had no choice but to go up against him!Bang! Bang! Bang! In the blink of an eye, both parties fought to kill. Terrifying for
When Eira said that, her eyes were filled with pleas; she was almost in tears.Woo!Yang Jian's expression was cold. He did not respond to her.Eira panicked; she knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you. Please! I beg you—"Like her mother, Aurora Hansen, Eira had been arrogant and proud since she was young. She had never bowed to anybody. However, she wanted to save her brother, so she decided to throw her ego and dignity away. "Eira—"Ambrose's nose soured when he saw that; he almost cried. He was very touched by her gesture.Her sister had always been a proud person, yet she had bowed and begged Yang Jian because of him."Eira!"Finally, Yang Jian took a deep breath and looked at Eira calmly. "Stand up. I'll spare his life."Yang Jian had always thought of Eira as a young and gifted cultivator. She did not matter to him, but her master, Zhang Jue, was his Military Adviser.Yang Jian still needed Zhang Jue's strategy and planning to conquer the other mainla
"My good disciple!" Zhang Jue waved his hands and said, "Since His Majesty is only holding your brother captive, he is safe for the moment. Go and rest. I still have to look at the maps and come up with our next step of offense."His tone was calm and slow, but it was unquestionable."Yes, Master!" Eira replied as she exited the room quickly.When she was outside, Eira felt extremely disappointed. At the same time, she was burning with anxiety too.'Didn't Master not care about the worldly matters? How did he change in a mere few days into someone who loves war? How did this happen?''If Master doesn't want to help me, I can't save Ambrose on my own. What should I do?'…At that moment, at Windhill Town in the Yellow Sea Continent.Windhill Town was located on the southeastern side of the Yellow Sea Continent. It had beautiful mountains and a pleasant environment.Zhu Bajie was in one of the inns in Windhill Town. He was there with a glass of wine in his hand. His posture was
