After having Commander Quill lead the Trap Camp away, Eunuch Cliff walked alone toward the depths of the Misty Ghost Forest.

The deeper he walked, the more shocked he became. As he went further in, the speed at which his life force drained was increasing.

It was only because he was a Mortal Supreme with vigorous life force that he could withstand it.

If it were an ordinary Innate Realm cultivator, their life force would likely have been stripped clean long ago.

Just what is this Misty Ghost Forest, to be able to strip away human life force to such a degree?

A trace of the urge to retreat flashed in Eunuch Cliff’s eyes, but gritting his teeth, he continued deeper into the forest.

The rebel army was originally just a plate of loose sand, but Oswin was able to twist that loose sand into a solid rope. Only by eliminating Oswin would the rebel army instantly revert to a plate of loose sand.

A rebel army without Oswin was nothing to worry about, and the South-Subduing King’s army without the help of the rebel army could not mount any real threat.

Only by eliminating Oswin could the soldiers of Silver Willow reverse their declining situation.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Cliff quickened his pace. However, it was not long before a figure suddenly appeared in the void ahead, blocking his path.

"Who exactly are you, to dare block my path? Are you truly intent on offending the Silver Willow Imperial Family?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Looking at the suddenly appearing Adam, Eunuch Cliff’s eyes were filled with wariness. He tried to use the name of the Silver Willow Imperial Family to make Adam back down.

Adam slowly descended from the void, his expression calm. "Having reached our level of cultivation, can the Silver Willow Imperial Family truly do anything to either of us?"

"I truly do not understand. Why, after reaching your level of cultivation, are you still willing to act as a running dog for the Silver Willow Imperial Family?"

"Oswin represents the will of the people. If you are willing to leave now, I can let you off. Otherwise, do not blame my sword for showing no mercy."

Adam was not actually having a sudden bout of immense compassion to spare this eunuch’s life.

Rather, it was because the moment he stepped into the Misty Ghost Forest, he noticed the anomaly within it.

Oswin was merely at the Grandmaster realm, he would not be able to hold out for long inside the forest.

But this eunuch was an existence who had Entered the Dao.

Even though Adam had stepped into the Mortal Supreme realm, eliminating an existence of this level would take considerable effort.

Oswin had already been inside the Misty Ghost Forest for some time. The longer this dragged on, the more perilous his situation would become.

Once the life force within Oswin’s body was completely devoured, even if Adam intervened, he would not be able to bring him back.

For Oswin’s safety, Adam hoped this eunuch would back down. He truly did not wish to clash with him right now.

"Drawing your sword with no mercy! Could it be that Your Excellency is the master of those three sword talismans?"

"That is correct. Since you know I am the master of those talismans, you should know you are not my match. Leave now, lest you throw away your life in vain."

Hearing Adam admit it, Eunuch Cliff’s face turned incredibly ugly. He had already experienced the strength of the master of those sword talismans.

In all of Silver Willow, perhaps only the Sword Sect Master could best this person.

With his own strength, defeating the master of these talismans was practically impossible.

Am I really going to let this Oswin escape disaster? A trace of unwillingness flashed in Eunuch Cliff’s eyes. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he burst into loud laughter.

"Master of the sword talismans, I almost let you fool me! You want to make me back down so you can hurry and save that Oswin, right?"

"That Oswin has already been in the Misty Ghost Forest for some time. With his cultivation, it is certain he cannot hold out much longer. As time drags on, the life force within his body will absolutely be devoured completely."

"Master of the sword talismans, you truly calculated well. But today, no matter what, I will not let you succeed, I will entangle you here!"

Having said that, he charged directly at Adam.

This eunuch actually possessed some quick wit. Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Adam’s face darkened, he knew this could not be resolved peacefully, he had to go all out and end the battle quickly.

"Divine Elephant Suppresses the Heavens!"

Adam roared loudly, his long hair wildly whipping around. The blood qi in his entire body surged violently, and a Divine Elephant Phenomenon appeared behind him.

The Divine Elephant phenomenon stood tens of meters tall, exuding a terrifying might. The moment it appeared, it felt as if it were the absolute ruler of heaven and earth.

"A Divine Elephant Phenomenon! You are from the Southern Ridge Divine Elephant Clan! You are actually a member of the Demon Race!"

A trace of shock appeared in Eunuch Cliff’s eyes. He never expected that the expert backing Oswin would be a member of the Divine Elephant Clan.

He thought even further. For this person to have cultivated a Divine Elephant phenomenon, even within the entire Divine Elephant Clan, he would absolutely be considered a top-tier figure.

For such a figure to act as a Protector for Oswin! Could it be that Oswin is colluding with the Divine Elephant Clan? Does the Divine Elephant Clan also want to scheme against Silver Willow?

Eunuch Cliff’s heart churned like stormy seas, clearly frightened badly by his own conjectures.

A trace of madness revealed itself on his face. At this moment, he no longer thought about eliminating Oswin, but about reporting Oswin’s collusion with the Divine Elephant Clan to the Emperor of Silver Willow.

Compared to the South-Subduing King and the rebel army, the Southern Divine Elephant Clan was the true great enemy.

Unless the Silver Willow Imperial Family brought out all their underlying foundations and awakened their slumbering ancestors, they simply wouldn’t be a match for the Divine Elephant Clan.
