Without waiting, "Manda" unleashed his next sword strike without hesitation. Villains died from talking too much—he knew that truth well. So he slashed several more times in succession, giving Pupula no chance to catch her breath.
The successive waves of sword energy stirred up clouds of dust. When the dust cleared, Pupula lay unconscious on the Palace floor, filthy and utterly bedraggled—on the very floor she loved most.
Without further hesitation, "Manda" dispelled the barrier surrounding them, revealing the scene inside to those outside.
The people from the Wind and Sand Kingdom and Courage Castle sucked in a cold breath at the sight of Pupula unconscious on the floor. Had the prince of the Elf Kingdom already become this powerful?
Only the King of the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan remained relatively calm, though he, too, was deep in thought. This strength was already approaching Jun Yi's. That also meant the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan would no longer be completely safe.
None of them spoke, but each was making his own calculations.
Silence reigned. Simon of Courage Castle was the first to break it.
Simon spoke calmly:
"Everyone, given what has happened today, this is hardly a suitable time for discussions. Why don't we gather again another day?"
The representatives of the major powers all nodded in agreement with his suggestion.
Seeing that the other major powers agreed, Simon was the first to leave the Palace. Once he had walked out, the people from the Wind and Sand Kingdom hesitated no longer and quickly departed.
The King of the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan left a brief remark as well. "My apologies, I still have family matters to attend to." Then he hurried away.
Lu Qingyi did not ask them to stay.
This had been a meeting aimed against the Elf Kingdom from the start. There was no need to continue it. If the Elf Kingdom were not still useful to him, he would never have wasted his time on this.
Tsk, the prince of the Elf Kingdom really is weak. Playing him is no fun at all. I even have to hold back.
If I didn't hold back, a single strike would leave this so-called Flower Fairy Goddess gravely injured, if not dead.
How boring. Sigh (ᗒᗣᗕ) When will I get to see him, that adorable little brat?
Outside the Flower Fairy World.
There was a man who bore a strong resemblance to Sen Lijiu, though his good looks were different from Sen Lijiu's beauty. Sen Lijiu's beauty was exquisite, like that of a porcelain doll, while this man's handsomeness carried a more imposing air.
His facial contours were sharper than Sen Lijiu's, and his powerful presence made it clear at a glance that he had long occupied a position of authority.
His build was also different from Sen Lijiu's. Sen Lijiu was not short, but beside this man, he would have looked considerably more petite.
His figure was a classic inverted triangle: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. It was utterly perfect. Even his elaborate finery could not conceal his exceptional physique.
Nine tails flickered in and out of view behind him. The tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan rarely appeared unless their owner's emotions fluctuated too intensely.
And in this case, it was clearly his emotional state that had caused his tails to appear.
His tails swayed erratically, whipping and lashing with a fierce edge. He made no attempt to conceal his oppressive aura, which forced every living creature in this entire space to the ground.
Savage power swept through the space, reflecting its owner's turbulent emotions.
At last, the space seemed unable to withstand his power, and fine cracks appeared.
Even as the space teetered on the verge of collapse, he still did not restrain his power, allowing it to ravage the space.
With a thunderous boom, the entire space exploded, and immense power swept outward. Yet the man at its center remained completely unscathed. Amid the raging turbulence, not even the hem of his clothes was disturbed.
