Facing the Tremblay Family group’s predatory gazes, Wyatt Barnes looked completely calm, as if nothing in the world could ruffle him, as if even Mount Tai collapsing before him wouldn’t change his expression.

"Leilany."

All of a sudden, Wyatt called out softly, then said lightly, "Let them have a taste of your strength."

"Hm?"

Right as the Tremblay Family group heard Wyatt’s words and couldn’t help being stunned, they subconsciously looked toward Leilany beside Wyatt.

Only to see, between the pair of eyes revealed outside Leilany’s veil, a burst of cold intent suddenly rising.

The very next instant.

Swoosh!!

With a casual wave of Leilany’s hand, a terrifying chill instantly appeared in the void, and before the Tremblay Family group could react, it shrouded them all completely.

However, Leilany still had a sense of measure.

The area covered by this chill was only below the waists of the Tremblay Family group.

Chch! Chch! Chch! Chch! Chch!

...

While the Tremblay Family group still hadn’t had time to react and the parts of their bodies below the waist were all frozen into ice sculptures, waves of biting cold rose again from the void beneath their feet, the chill growing ever denser until, in the end, it solidified into ice.

Boom!!

Rumble!!

...

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a series of booms that seemed to explode out of nowhere, the cold in the void that had condensed into ice finally gathered together and formed a vast platform of ice, a stage completely shaped from solid frost.

The moment the platform appeared, it was put to use.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

A series of loud crashes of heavy objects slamming down rang out—it was the Tremblay Family group, whose bodies below the waist had been frozen into ice sculptures. Because their lower halves were frozen, their Immortal Origin Force could no longer sustain them, and they wobbled and toppled from midair, slowly crashing down onto the ice platform.

Luckily, their falling speed wasn’t fast.

Otherwise, with a single crash like that, the half of their bodies that had been frozen into ice sculptures would definitely have shattered to pieces!

At that time, they all would have become half-paralyzed cripples.

Even so, after landing on the ice platform, the Tremblay Family group were still slammed into a daze, only coming back to their senses after quite a while.

Swish! Swish!

The first to recover were the two Daai Law Golden Immortals at the Heaven Stage of the Tremblay Family—the Tremblay Elder Ancestor and the previous generation family head. Their faces changed drastically at the same time, and their gazes landed in unison on that veiled woman, deep within their eyes brimming with panic and fear.

"Love Rowan Upper Immortal! Love Rowan Upper Immortal!"

"This woman... she’s actually a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’!"

...

At this moment, storms were raging in the hearts of these two Heaven-Stage Daai Law Golden Immortals of the Tremblay Family.

The casual method the veiled woman at the purple-robed young man’s side had displayed was something that, even as Heaven-Stage Daai Law Golden Immortals, they couldn’t react to at all.

By the time they reacted, they had already fallen into her trap.

This also confirmed one thing for them:

This woman was at least a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’!

Even a peak Daai Law Golden Immortal did not yet possess the ability to make them this miserable.

Love Rowan Upper Immortal!

A being like that could, with a flip of her palm, easily annihilate their entire Tremblay Family party here.

"Lord Love Rowan Upper Immortal, we came this time on behalf of the Spacewood Family... We offended you earlier in many ways; we humbly ask that you forgive us, my lord!"

"Please forgive us, my lord!"

After a moment, the Tremblay Elder Ancestor and the previous generation family head both bowed low to Leilany in apology. As they apologized, their bodies were trembling violently—that trembling was born of fear.

Even the previous generation family head of the Tremblay Family, who had just moments ago been clamoring to avenge his grandson, completely caved in at this moment.

Avenging his grandson was important, yes, but one had to look at the situation.

Judging by the current situation before his eyes, there was simply no way he could avenge his grandson.

So, even if he felt unwilling in his heart, he still chose to give up.

Because if he didn’t, he might very well lose his own life—and even if he staked his life, he still might not succeed in taking revenge!

Weighing which was lighter and which was heavier, he had lived so many years; naturally, he could see which choice held more loss or gain.

"Love Rowan Upper Immortal?!"

"This woman... she’s actually a Love Rowan Upper Immortal?!"

...

The current Tremblay Family head, as well as the group of elders who had come on this trip, were also shaken to their core upon hearing the words of their Tremblay Elder Ancestor, as though waves of stormy seas were crashing through their hearts.

Now, even seeing their Tremblay Elder Ancestor and previous generation family head bow before that veiled woman, they felt no surprise. Instead, they felt it was only natural.

After all, that was a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’, whose strength far surpassed that of the Tremblay Family’s two Heaven-Stage Daai Law Golden Immortals.

"We greet you, Lord Love Rowan Upper Immortal!"

"We greet you, Lord Love Rowan Upper Immortal!"

...

Under the lead of the Tremblay Family head, Duncan Collins, the group of Tremblay elders all respectfully bowed low to Leilany in salute, remaining throughout incomparably humble.

Where was that earlier air of storming in to denounce someone?

On the contrary, as they saluted Leilany, their bodies trembled violently from fright, just like the Tremblay Family’s two Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortals...

Love Rowan Upper Immortal.

That was a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’!

A Love Rowan Upper Immortal, once enraged, could wipe them all out with a flip of the hand!

"Wyatt Barnes, how did I do?"

Yet, just as the Tremblay group were humbly prostrating before Leilany, bowing and apologizing, Leilany, the person directly involved, merely smiled at Wyatt Barnes with a look of asking for praise.

"Good, good, good... Leilany did very well."

Wyatt Barnes smiled and rubbed Leilany’s head, then added, "Leilany, withdraw the power freezing them."

"Okay."

Leilany nodded obediently. Then, with a lift of her hand, it was as if a gust of wind blew past.

Whoosh!

As that gust swept by, aside from the ice platform still floating in the void, the half-frozen bodies of the Tremblay group also returned to normal—though they still emanated waves of bone-chilling cold.

Thud! Thud!

The Tremblay Family’s two Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortals recovered first, and in the instant they could move, they dropped to their knees before Leilany. At the same time, whenever their eyes strayed to Wyatt Barnes, they were filled with terror and unease.

Perhaps this purple-clad young man’s strength was inferior to theirs.

But, after what had just happened, they could clearly see:

The terrifying veiled woman listened only to this purple-clad youth!

If the purple-clad youth opened his mouth and demanded their deaths, one could imagine that woman absolutely would not show mercy.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

...

Following the Tremblay Family’s two Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortals, the Tremblay Family Patriarch and the elders accompanying him on this trip all knelt down on the ice platform, prostrating before Wyatt Barnes and Leilany.

"Patriarch Tremblay did not mistake the person."

As everyone from the Tremblay Family finished kneeling, Wyatt Barnes casually swept a glance at the patriarch, ’Duncan Collins’, and said blandly, "Your son, the Tremblay Family’s First Young Master ’Wesson Collins’, was indeed killed by me... If Patriarch Tremblay wishes to avenge your son, you may act now."

As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes gave Duncan Collins a deep look.

"N-no... I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!!"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Duncan lowered his head in panic, shaking it repeatedly, as if making a move against Wyatt would be as difficult as asking for his life.

In truth, in Duncan’s heart, attacking Wyatt was indeed no different from losing his life.

What kind of joke was that!

Perhaps this purple-clad youth’s strength was beneath his.

But had he not seen that the Love Rowan Upper Immortal-level woman before his eyes obeyed this purple-clad youth’s every word?

If he attacked this purple-clad youth, he would probably be killed by that woman before he even touched him.

"So... Patriarch Tremblay does not intend to take revenge?"

Wyatt Barnes asked again.

"N-no... no revenge... No! That unfilial son of mine offended Milord—he deserved to die! Many thanks to Milord for helping me clean house! Many thanks to Milord for helping me clean house!"

Duncan had just intended to say "no revenge," but on second thought felt that was inappropriate, hurriedly changing his words and instead pouring out gratitude toward Wyatt Barnes.

"And you? From what you said just now... that Wesson Collins is your grandson?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze quickly fell on Duncan’s father—the previous Patriarch of the Tremblay Family.

"It was that blind, unfilial grandson of mine who offended Milord... Many thanks to Milord for cleaning house!"

The previous Patriarch of the Tremblay Family felt a thousand pangs of unwillingness in his heart, yet he also knew the principle of ’under another’s eaves, one must bow one’s head’, and joined his son in voicing effusive thanks to Wyatt Barnes.

"Very good."

Wyatt Barnes grinned, then got straight to the point: "Everyone of the Tremblay Family... strictly speaking, you should be thanking us even more."

"Hm?"

As soon as Wyatt Barnes said this, the Tremblay group were almost angered into coughing blood.

The pair before them had already forced them to their knees, and now they wanted them to thank them?

Still, though they were stifled inside, they did not dare show it.

"Just now... I personally wiped out the Spacewood Family’s two Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortals! I imagine, for all of you of the Tremblay Family, that should be good news, no?"

Wyatt Barnes continued.

At his words, the Tremblay group were so shocked that they straightened their upper bodies at once; though they were still kneeling, their backs were ramrod straight like spears.

"Milord... are your words true?"

Duncan’s eyes shone and his breathing quickened as he asked.

In this moment, not only did his stifled resentment vanish, even the unwillingness in the depths of his heart at being unable to avenge his son disappeared completely.

"Do I have any need to deceive you?"

Wyatt Barnes gave Duncan a cool glance. "In fact, this time I’m actually helping the Tremblay Family... From now on, in this ’Spacewood–Tremblay City’, your family will stand alone at the top!"

"Their auras... truly are gone."

At the same time, the Divine Senses extended by the Tremblay Family’s two Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortals returned, confirming that within the Spacewood estate, the auras of those two Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortals of the Spacewood Family had vanished.

It was as if the two of them had disappeared into thin air.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what happened, there should still be at least one Heaven-stage Daai Law Golden Immortal sitting in town within the Spacewood main residence.
