Chapter 853: Chapter 268: That’s it, The First Under Heaven? (Hello, 2024)_2

“…”

“Many years ago, due to issues with human body research, I had some dealings with the White Family. The White Family’s research in biotechnology is very deep, and some of those old immortals who seek longevity through the Immortal Aegis Animals’ pathway need the flesh of the young…”

“I see.”

“Tsk tsk… Although that lad isn’t my disciple, I taught him personally. How could the White Family so easily lay their hands on him?”

“The White Family has grand schemes, and the strength they hide is also formidable.”

“Hehe…”

“However, speaking of which, that girl’s performance was truly exceptional. Her ‘Descending Gods’ Domain’ could be ranked among the top three ferocious domains I’ve ever seen, with immense potential… It’s unlikely she gets to face such opponents on a regular basis, but this time she really enjoyed the fight.”

“…”

The two were chatting when suddenly Barre Shepherd noticed something and his gaze sharpened, “A master is approaching!”

Merlin looked into the distance, his voice serious, “It seems the New King of Orlan himself is coming.”

Barre Shepherd listened nonchalantly and chuckled, “Annoyed by the disruption, it looks like he wants to come over personally to resolve the issue here.”

He paused, and his old face showed a look of interest, “But then again, having been secluded for years, there are indeed a few notable individuals among the Orlan Remnants.”

Merlin’s eyes, misty as if shrouded in fog, said, “With the New King of Orlan coming, I should also make a move. I can’t just stand by and watch those Silver Moon Believers truly summon the Moon God…”

“…”

Upon hearing these words, Barre Shepherd glanced at him.

Merlin’s words also made it clear that everything happening was still part of a gigantic game of cards.

Various card masters played their hands in turn.

Only by playing a hand strong enough to overpower the opponent’s could one qualify to continue playing.

The opponent had already played the King card “spade K.”

This was an immensely powerful play.

It had overwhelmed the Lady Valkyrie card “Heart J.”

Now it was their turn to get serious.

However, Barre Shepherd felt that such roundabout methods were boring and smacked his lips, “Why make such a complex, grand game with the leader of the Illuminate Association? In my opinion, why not just directly take out that New King of Orlan and be done with it?”

Upon hearing this, Merlin shook his head, “The New King cannot die yet. Without the Kingship’s control, people of the Silver Moon Sect would have no restraints. Besides, the Orlan Remnants, descendants of the ancient Orlan royalty, Taron’s old royal family Augustus, are implicated in too many secrets and fates. Not just on the East Continent, the secrets buried in the dust of history on the Old Continent are the real dangers…”

Listening, Barre Shepherd pursed his lips in irritation, muttering a complaint, “How lame.”

Merlin shrugged, his tone implying helplessness, “That’s why the pressure is so great. Those few families in the Federal Parliament have been in positions of power for too long and can’t be relied upon. Even if the abilities of the Pursuer of Light have been deduced to the utmost, there are too many uncertainties. The Silver Moon Sect is just the smaller trouble. The real trouble lies with that Count Nikola from the X Bureau, contaminated by Crimson, who hasn’t shown himself yet—he’s not planning on just dying here…”

Barre Shepherd understood the gravity of the situation and said, “Hmm, you go. I’ll handle things here.”

Merlin nodded and instantly, his figure disappeared into the dark.

…

“Damn it! How could the Revolutionary Army get involved in this!”

King Arthur of Orlan was seething with rage.

For others, being pulled into the ‘Divine Ruins Secret Realm’ could mean a slim chance of survival, but for him, it was a blessing.

In this secret realm, not only had they discovered the treasures left by their ancestor Augustus from three thousand years ago, but they also regained part of the realm’s authority.

What’s more significant is that the people from Sinless City were also swept into this, a natural environment of terror.

With this, he could absorb the Law of Fear with impunity; once the “Tyrant” fully ascended to tier seven, nobody would be able to thwart him.

At first, Arthur felt everything was going smoothly.

Even if he was discovered, nobody could stop him.

With the Silver Moon God Tree’s blessing, and the Moon God about to descend, no one who came could possibly have a chance to win.

However, he hadn’t expected someone to suddenly steal his Power of Fear!

And then a leader of the Revolutionary Army showed up?

Now, the Senators and various powers had begun their siege against Orlan!

Thinking this, Arthur couldn’t contain his fury, “These lowlifes, they all deserve to be wiped out!”

The “Tyrant” sequence inherently possessed the might of Kingship, along with a natural ferocity.

Leading a group of experts, he arrived at the Red District Street, his killing intent soaring.

…

As the Orlan Remnants approached, those watching the battle in the Red District Street became uneasy.

“This is bad, a master is coming!”

“Those guys… how can they be so powerful?”

“Another two Legends! Where on earth are they all coming from?”

“…”

King Arthur of Orlan was at the forefront, his silver hair short and his face full of fury.

And beside him, two figures in specially tailored court guard robes were surrounded by a layer of twisted spatial aura—an unusual domain.

This was a contained Domain.

That is to say, these were two more Legendary Card Masters!

Usually, even seeing one Legendary Card Master was a rarity.

But now, five had suddenly appeared!

And to the surprise of the Federal Parliament, four of them were guards of the New King of Orlan!

In that moment, they realized that what they once deemed negligible remnants of the former dynasty had grown into a force that could not be ignored.

Miles away, King Arthur glared at the distant Sophia Jones who was still fiercely fighting one against two and ordered furiously, “Kill her!”
