Chapter 413 Showing Sword in the Western Regions, Level 5 Wrath
In the Western Maple Domain, in the aerial pavilion where the Lord's Mansion is located.
Since Gnar, Ian, and Aaron chose to side with Lynn, they have held the power to enforce the "Three Laws".
He had power, but found it difficult to exercise it.
Outside the lord's mansion, all the major institutions ignored the three regulations engraved with the lord's seal, treating them as if they were air.
Although the three were Morning Star Wizards, they were helpless and dared not push forward rashly. They could only suppress everything and wait for Lynn to emerge from seclusion.
However, as soon as Lin Enfu left the pass, he went straight into the Ring of Life and did not return for more than a month.
And so, another month passed.
Inside the pavilion, the atmosphere grew increasingly stagnant.
The three appeared calm on the surface, but their hearts were in turmoil. They began to repeatedly ask themselves: Was their initial choice right or wrong?
Indeed, they sided with Lynn, and Lynn reciprocated by granting them authority and trust.
The problem is that when the entire Western Maple Domain chooses to "ignore" or even engages in non-violent resistance in a near-tacit manner, these powers lose their meaning.
The three regulations, in their hands, were like three insignificant chicken feathers, floating lightly without making a sound.
In this way, without gaining power or reaping benefits, they have instead put themselves in the eye of the storm.
In the eyes of the nobles of the Western Maple Domain, their actions were tantamount to betrayal.
They betrayed this land and the original order, and instead attached themselves to a newcomer lord whose foundation was not yet secure.
Such a choice will never be forgiven, and such a price will never be gentle.
This is only vaguely evident in the three of them; it is simply that the Morning Star Wizard, with whom they used to have close ties, has gradually distanced himself, severed contact, and lost his affection for them.
However, at the family level, a storm has already arrived. The Davis family, the Coleman family, and the Morgan family, the three major Morning Star noble families, are now finding it almost impossible to move an inch in the Western Maple Domain.
The clansmen were ostracized, their resources were cut off, and their once stable industries suffered repeated setbacks. Covert suppression and overt neglect came one after another.
No one explicitly called for a reckoning, but everyone was doing it.
During the period when Lynn remained silent, these three families became the first to be sacrificed.
This is why, at this moment, the three Morning Star Wizards, though in the Lord's Mansion—a place symbolizing authority, with the right to come and go, and enjoying a status that should not belong to them—still had furrowed brows.
They sat on high ground, yet could not see where to stand; the wind had not yet arrived, but they already felt the cold.
And just then, the lord they had been waiting for finally sent word.
"My lord... has returned from the Ring of Life!"
"Furthermore... let us immediately proceed to meet with the various institutions surrounding the lord's city!"
"Is this... finally going to make a move?"
The moment the news spread, Gnar, Ian, and Aaron were all shocked. The gloom that had been weighing on their eyes for so long was instantly swept away, followed by an undisguised excitement.
"Your Lordship will surely reap great rewards on this journey to the Ring of Life..."
"It's even highly likely that they've already gained the support of Her Majesty the Moon!"
The three exchanged glances and almost simultaneously reached the same conclusion.
Lynn, it's time to make your move.
Judging from the undisguised assertive tone in the message, this time, they will not be as restrained as before.
Thinking of this, the three of them were startled and dared not delay any longer. They immediately got up, and with their robes fluttering, they had already darted out of the pavilion and headed straight for the outside of the lord's mansion.
At that moment, they even had a faint feeling of seeing the sun after the clouds had parted.
After a month of waiting and a series of bad news from the family, they finally got Lynn to step in. Even if he only managed to salvage the situation to some extent, it would be a lifeline for them!
Therefore, the three of them, almost without stopping, transformed into three streaks of light and sped towards their destination.
....................................
The layout of the lord's city is very clear.
The lord's mansion is located in the center, like a core hub; all around it are numerous institutions scattered like stars around the moon.
All orders originate from the Lord's Mansion and are then executed layer by layer by these agencies, ultimately covering the entire Western Maple Domain.
At this moment, the gathering place designated by Lynn is the most crucial area among these organizations.
There, the lifeblood of the Western Maple Domain is controlled: finance, taxation, resource allocation...
All core institutions directly related to the "foundation of power" are gathered here.
To hold power over a region, one must first control its finances.
For Lynn, who was new to the area and whose foundation was not yet solid, the real first blow was the control of the finances!
For this reason, this place naturally became the first battlefield where he prepared to establish his authority.
………………
However, just as the three of them were rushing towards the area, a sudden change occurred.
"Ok?"
Gna frowned first, and his speed suddenly slowed down.
"Something's not right over there!"
Ian and Aaron noticed almost simultaneously that the three of them paused slightly in mid-air.
A subtle yet incredibly sharp fluctuation was quietly spreading through the air.
That was the aftershock of the power of the rules!
Moreover, it wasn't a single aura, but rather... the chaotic traces left behind after the collision!
The three exchanged a glance, their expressions instantly turning serious.
"Are people...fighting?"
"And it even used power at the rule level..."
"But how could a place like that possibly allow Morning Star wizards to fight each other?!"
Before the words were even finished, all three felt a sudden chill in their hearts; something was wrong.
When Lynn sent the message just now, his tone was swift and decisive. Now, before they even arrived, they could already feel the aftershocks of the clash of the power of the rules...
What this means is self-evident.
"Could it be... that the lord has clashed with the Morning Star Wizard guarding that area?"
The moment this thought crossed their minds, the three of them changed their expressions instantly. No matter how high Lynn's status was, he was still just a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard.
If a direct conflict were to occur, and things were to spiral out of control, the outcome would be unpredictable.
If Lynn were to suffer even the slightest mishap here... it wouldn't just be a collapse of the situation, it would be utter ruin.
With this in mind, the three dared not hesitate for a moment. Their auras suddenly surged, their speed increased again, and they transformed into three streaks of light that tore through the sky, rushing forward.
………………
In the distance, a magnificent complex of buildings gradually came into view.
Skyscrapers stand tall, palaces stretch endlessly, their golden splendor intertwined, outlining a vast plaza on the earth.
This is where many core institutions of the Western Maple Domain gather.
At this moment, the square was already crowded with people.
Wizards gathered, and judging from their attire and aura, they were all deacons and members of various organizations.
Instead of each going about their assigned tasks, they all gathered in the center, forming concentric circles of human walls, as if... something astonishing was happening there.
The three of them swooped down from the sky, their eyes fixed on the center. At first, they couldn't see it clearly, but as the distance rapidly closed, their pupils suddenly contracted.
"That is……"
Surrounded by the crowd in the center was none other than the newly appointed lord they had been waiting for, Lynn!
However, the current situation is completely different from the "conflict crisis" they had anticipated.
In fact, it could be described as... a complete reversal.
In the center of the square.
A huge and towering tree rises from the ground, its branches and trunk vigorous and its aura profound, like a living ancient behemoth.
The thick branches naturally extended and bent, intertwining in mid-air to form a "seat".
Lynn sat upright on it, his expression calm, looking down over the entire scene.
What truly shook people to their core was not this scene.
Rather, it was beneath that giant tree.
A figure was suppressed.
Countless tree roots coiled down like giant pythons, binding and binding it firmly to the ground, rendering it unable to move.
The remnants of the power of rules on that person had not yet dissipated, and their aura was chaotic and violent. Without a doubt, this was a Morning Star Wizard!
But at this moment, he was in an extremely disheveled state.
The wizard's robes were torn to shreds, his aura was disordered, and he was completely suppressed, even his mouth and tongue were sealed by tree roots.
Unable to struggle, unable to speak, they could only be suppressed to the ground in full view of everyone.
At that moment, all the wizards from the surrounding institutions witnessed this scene.
For a Morning Star wizard, this was not just a defeat, but a blatant humiliation.
“That’s… Joel Collins, the Wizard of Conflict…”
Genna recognized the figure suppressed on the ground at a glance. His pupils contracted slightly, and his heart sank. He knew this person all too well.
Joel Collins, a late-stage Level 4 Morning Star Wizard, is quite powerful and is a well-known figure in the Western Maple Domain.
More importantly, this person was one of the most radical members during the last siege of the lord's mansion.
Whether it was the initial standoff at the door, or later when Anton, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, personally led a group to "demand an explanation," or even when he ordered a strong attack, Joel was always the one at the forefront.
The rules of witchcraft, unleashed without mercy, rained down relentlessly.
Now, this once arrogant and powerful wizard of conflict is suppressed in front of everyone, unable to move.
They were in a sorry state, truly... karma had come back to bite them.
However, even so, the three of them were not too surprised.
As both were at the late stage of level four, Lynn's suppression of Joel was, in their eyes, perfectly natural.
After all, if he didn't have exceptional qualities, how could this newly appointed lord have been personally recommended by west Ye?
As the thought flashed through their minds, the three of them relaxed slightly.
The situation is still under control.
Just as they were about to set off to meet Lynn, another unexpected event occurred!
………………
In the distant sky, a single spark of light quietly ignites.
At first, it was just a tiny flame.
But the next moment!
boom!
The flames surged!
That tiny flame seemed to be instantly ignited by some force, suddenly expanding and transforming into a roaring, raging fire serpent that twisted and coiled in mid-air!
Flames rolled in, and heat waves swept across the land.
Immediately afterwards, the fire serpent contracted and solidified.
He transformed into a figure and stood in mid-air.
The man was surrounded by flames, his aura extremely intense, as if even the temperature of the world was rising with him.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of Gnar, Ian, and Aaron all changed drastically at the same time!
"The Soul-Slaying Wizard of Flames!"
This sound was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
This person is not only one of the core figures in the Rockefeller family camp, but also a mid-level fifth-grade Morning Star Wizard!
Far superior to Joel's Level 4 level!
If a conflict breaks out, given Lynn's current level of skill, if he were to lose in front of everyone...
His already fragile authority will be completely shattered!
With this in mind, the three of them unleashed their power almost without hesitation!
We must forcefully break out and intervene first to prevent a potential head-on conflict!
However, just as they set off...
In the center of the square, the enormous World Tree trembled slightly.
Lynn sat upright, his robes unmoved, his expression calm.
He merely raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling upon the fiery figure in mid-air.
The next moment, a cold smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth, and his voice, though not loud, clearly carried throughout the entire venue.
"The last time I went to the Ring of Life... it was you who was secretly following me, wasn't it?"
His tone was calm, yet it carried an undisguised sharpness.
Immediately afterwards, Lynn's gaze suddenly darkened, and his voice turned icy, like a blade being drawn from its sheath:
"As a vassal... how dare you spy on your lord?"
"Such disrespect..."
He leaned forward slightly, looking down, and spoke each word with icy coldness:
"Not yet..."
"Get down here and apologize to me!"
Lynn spoke calmly, even indifferently.
But the moment the words fell, the entire square seemed to be suddenly gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
The air was stagnant.
The next moment, a tidal wave of emotions exploded in the crowd!
Whether it was Gnar, Aaron, and the other two, or the group of formal wizards watching from all around, they all involuntarily gasped and were shaken!
Admittedly, Lynn is a lord, but in the wizarding world, strength has always been paramount!
Publicly humiliating a level 5 Morning Star Wizard?
This is not just being assertive, it's almost... insane!
………………
In mid-air.
The Soul-Slaying Wizard had initially been observing coldly, but only now did he truly focus his attention on Lynn.
He quickly scanned the scene below: the suppressed Joel, the onlookers, and Lynn sitting upright in the tree.
Everything was laid out before my eyes in an instant.
He intended to speak first, to calm the situation, and to get this "nominal" level four lord to release the person.
But before he could even speak, Lynn beat him to it and called him out in front of everyone.
And the naming and shaming was so ruthless!
For a moment, the Soul-Slaying Wizard was slightly taken aback, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.
But there was no warmth in that smile; instead, it carried a chilling twist.
His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he were laughing, or perhaps suppressing some emotion about to erupt—a laugh born of extreme anger.
He never expected that before he could even make a move or utter a word, this mere level four lord would dare to be so presumptuous towards him!
"Ah……"
A low chuckle escaped his throat.
next moment!
"Hahahaha!"
Laughter suddenly erupted!
He suddenly raised his hand, pointing a finger at Lynn, his gaze as cold as a knife, and his voice instantly turned icy cold:
"Lord?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare 'follow' the lord..."
He paused slightly, a mocking smile curving his lips.
His tone suddenly changed.
"But you are a fourth-level wizard who stole the lord's position..."
"You dare to speak to me in that tone?"
His words were like blades, each one piercing to the heart!
Then, he let out a cold laugh, his voice growing increasingly shrill:
"The mouse puts on a crown..."
"That doesn't mean it became the king!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the air seemed to turn cold for a moment, and then the gaze of the Soul-Slaying Wizard turned completely icy.
"Lord Rockefeller must follow the rules..."
"I'll deal with you a hundred years from now, but I don't need to!"
His voice, like molten lava churning deep within a volcano, was both suppressed and violent:
"In the wizarding world... strength reigns supreme!"
"A mere Level 4 dares to publicly humiliate a Level 5..."
Even if I…
His voice suddenly rose!
"I'll beat you to death on the spot!"
“When it comes to the issue of life and death, I also have a point to make!”
The moment the words fell.
boom!!!
Aura, fully unleashed!
Like a volcano that has been dormant for thousands of years, it suddenly erupts at this moment!
A terrifying heatwave swept across the land.
The air distorted, space trembled, and flames materialized out of thin air...
Crimson, dark gold, deep blue...
Layer upon layer, surging endlessly!
In the blink of an eye, half the sky was completely covered by flames, resembling a burning dome!
At this moment, the terrifying pressure belonging to the mid-stage of the fifth-level Morning Star Realm crashed down like a mountain, engulfing the entire area!
Many of the onlookers, who were not even deliberately targeted, were swept away by the aftershocks and their faces turned pale, their breathing became disordered, and they retreated one after another!
The expressions of Gnar, Ian, and Aaron changed drastically!
At the same time, the same thought arose in my mind:
Something terrible is about to happen. (End of Chapter)
