Salomon's Exultation and Mirna Boyd's Escape

The news that the Boyd Clan had been wiped out spread rapidly throughout Liang'an Prefecture. However, due to the recent explosive news about the Paragon High-God Ren and the Four Divine Beasts Clan, few people paid attention to this "minor matter."

Twenty years later, in Blue Maple City on the Zijing Continent, in a temporary courtyard filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, four different figures—three men and one woman—each with a different expression.

"Young master, this is what the master asked us to give you."

An old man dressed in a black robe, with two black horns on his forehead, knelt on one knee and respectfully addressed the young man before him.

"Young Master, Miss, my brother and I will forever obey the patriarch's last wishes and serve you both."

Beside him, White-Horned Elder knelt down, his voice filled with sorrow, yet equally resolute.

At this moment, opposite the Black-Horned Elder and the White-Horned Elder, stood a young man and a young woman. The girl seemed somewhat dazed, covering her mouth with her hand and looking unfocused, while the young man's face was expressionless, though a faint trace of "sorrow" could be sensed between his brows.

The young man and woman were Salomon and Nisi, who had fled the Boyd Clan early on and temporarily settled in Blue Maple City. Salomon thought that he and his sister would never return after leaving the Bifu Continent, but he never expected to be caught up with in the Zijing Continent.

When Salomon saw the two, he thought they were pursuers sent by his family and was prepared for battle. However, he did not expect that they were actually people sent by his so-called father to entrust his son to him.

When Salomon learned from the two that their ancestor Boyd was dead and the Boyd Clan had been wiped out, he was completely stunned and remained in shock for a long time.

During his training under his teacher Electra, Salomon would repeatedly fantasize about this scene whenever he suffered from nightmares, even though he knew it was almost impossible.

However, now, all of this has really happened. After listening to the words of the two old men, Salomon remained silent for a long time, as if he was immersed in great grief. After a while, he managed to force a small smile onto his face.

"Uncles, from now on, my brother and I will have to rely on you a lot. Please rest assured, you two will be our elders from now on!" Salomon's tone was full of sincerity, but also contained a trace of sadness.

"You flatter us, young master and young lady. We will do everything in our power to protect you!" The Black-Horned Elder and the White-Horned Elder were so moved that they almost cried. They quickly bowed to Salomon in a master-servant salute.

Next, the three briefly discussed their future plans, after which the Black and White Elders quickly took his leave to make preparations.

The moment the two left the room, the suppressed sadness that had been on Salomon's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of ecstatic joy.

Salomon had been pretending for years, always appearing as a sunny, cheerful young man, rarely revealing his true emotions except in front of his sister Nisi. But today, his ecstasy couldn't be more genuine.

Fortunately, Salomon refrained from laughing out loud, considering that his sister still harbored some feelings for that father.

"Brother, what do we do now? Father and the others are all dead."

The girl's fair face showed fear as she clung tightly to Salomon's arm, seemingly afraid that her only remaining family member would disappear.

Unlike Nisi, Salomon Salomon, while not exactly a good person, was a decent older brother who had shouldered all the family pressures, Nisi was somewhat naive due to his protection.

Therefore, after such a tragedy, Nisi's first feelings were grief over her father's death and fear of the future.

"Don't worry, Nini, your brother's here, everything will be fine."

Salomon patted Nisi's head gently and spoke softly. At the same time, he calmed down and began to think about his next move.

While the deaths of those people were certainly cause for celebration, they also meant that he, who had inherited the Boyd Clan's wealth, would face danger. Therefore, he had to carefully consider the future.

"At present, it seems that taking the family's wealth to the Zijing Continent to find Lord Aiken and ask him to help refine a drop of the Sovereign’s Might is the best option."

Salomon kept thinking to himself that the Boyd Clan's wealth was not something he could protect, and he couldn't keep the money even with the Bayfield Clan's pursuit.

Lord Aiken owed his ancestor Boyd a small favor, which is probably almost gone with his ancestor's death. Helping the descendants of the family refine a drop of the Sovereign’s Might to repay the favor is possible, but protecting them or even helping them to make the Boyd Clan glorious again is impossible.

Meanwhile, on the other side, deep within the Star Fog Sea, a woman with a head of beautiful emerald green hair was piloting a small Metal Lifeform, continuing to move forward.

"If this continues, we'll get caught sooner or later. What should we do?"

The green-haired woman is none other than Boyd's contracted divine beast, Mirna.

As Boyd's soul contractor, she was the first to sense Boyd's death, quickly realized the crisis, and chose to escape immediately, becoming the only survivor of the Boyd Clan besides the Black and White Elders and the Salomon siblings.

Her relationship with Boyd was relatively simple. On the one hand, Boyd saved her life, and on the other hand, Boyd forcibly subdued her, making her serve him for countless years. Therefore, although she didn't feel the same hatred that Pusluo had for Aliquin, she didn't have any deep feelings for Boyd either.

At this moment, all she wanted was to survive. However, not long ago, the Bayfield Clan found her and demanded that she hand over the Boyd Clan's wealth. She was almost killed.

Afterwards, she left the Star Fog Sea and fled, her heart filled with fear. Mirna was unaware that the two old men, one black and one white, had taken the family's wealth to Salomon.

From her perspective, since the Boyd Clan's wealth wasn't taken by the Bayfield Clan, it's highly likely that Patriarch Jerome crushed the Spatial Ring in a desperate attempt to destroy everything.

Mirna desperately wanted to tell everyone that she didn't possess the Boyd Clan's wealth, but those people wouldn't listen to her at all and attacked with deadly moves.

"This escape isn't going to work. The Bayfield Clan will definitely keep hunting us down." Mirna smoothed her hair, looking at the outline of Miluo Island that was now emerging, her thoughts drifting.

Over the years, Mirna has been by Boyd's side and has gained a lot of knowledge. She has also heard some rumors about Miluo Island. It is said that there is a powerful Asura behind Miluo Island. If they can get the protection of Miluo Island, the Bayfield Clan will naturally not pose a threat.

"But why should Miluo Island help me? My only bargaining chip is the uniqueness of my Innate Divine Ability, but I can't just publicly declare that I have the ability to help people improve their soul essence." Mirna raised her eyebrows, unable to think of a good solution for the moment. Her Innate Divine Ability was indeed tempting.

However, just as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." If her abilities were made public, they would attract the attention of many powerful individuals. At that time, many people would likely vie for her, and if she were even slightly affected in the battle, she would be doomed, which would be even more dangerous.

Unless there's some way to get her to meet with the higher-ups on Miluo Island, ideally by speaking directly to the Asura behind it, but the Asura of Miluo Island isn't so easy to meet.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time." Mirna remained silent for a long time before speeding up her flight towards Miluo Island.
