Bolin was also filled with lingering fear. Just now, he had been too excited and lost his mind, actually chasing after the White Tiger alone, even though the White Tiger was seriously injured!
"His injuries were too severe." Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Bolin understood their meaning and explained, "Although Nadal used his Innate Divine Ability, he couldn't lock onto me, allowing me to escape in the end."
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the direction of the White Tiger, as if he were waiting for something.
"How is Nadal?" Deen asked with concern.
"He's here!" Wenner pointed to the east, where a tall figure slowly flew towards them.
The White Tiger Clan Leader did indeed arrive, but he looked unwell, seemingly struggling even to fly.
" Bolin, you coward, you run fast!" Even in such a critical situation, the White Tiger Clan Leader remained full of pride, his words showing not a trace of weakness.
"You're still as cunning as ever, without a shred of dignity as a strongman. After losing your son, you groveled before my Four Divine Beasts Clan, and today you resort to any means to launch a sneak attack... You're always the same, never improving!" The White Tiger Clan Leader mocked Bolin mercilessly, leaving him no face whatsoever.
Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Bolin was so enraged that he vomited blood. The loss of his son was a deep pain in his heart, and now this wound had been ruthlessly reopened by the White Tiger Clan Leader, not only dealing him a heavy blow but also causing him to lose face in front of everyone. He noticed that after the White Tiger Clan Leader spoke, some of the elders from the Eight Great Clans looked at him with changed expressions.
" Nadal, you're asking for death!" Bolin roared, charging forward with his gun like a madman.
"Call!"
"Call!"
"Who dares!" Accompanied by two tremendous gusts of wind, a voice with supreme authority exploded. Upon hearing this, Reynalds and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly turned around.
Dozens of Metallic Lifeform suddenly flew out from the mountains and appeared on the field without warning. Soon, the Metallic Lifeform disappeared, and Gaiseresen appeared with nearly a hundred members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
" Bolin, you're incredibly bold!"
As soon as he appeared, Gaiseresen punched Bolin without saying a word. The space was shattered by his fist, producing a loud "boom". The powerful fist-shaped energy was like a cannonball, shooting towards Bolin's chest. Caught off guard, Bolin didn't have time to react and watched helplessly as the fist energy came crashing down on him.
" Gaiseresen, you've gone too far!"
On the edge of the battlefield, Reynalds reacted quickly, taking a step forward to block Bolin and dispersing Gaiseresen's punch. As the messenger of the Sovereign Blood Peak, Reynalds was extremely powerful, in no way inferior to Gaiseresen.
Not content with his initial advantage, Gaiseresen seized the opportunity to snatch Blu and the White Tiger Clan Leader. Both had been injured in the fierce battle, with the White Tiger Clan Leader being particularly badly wounded. The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader, skilled in healing, led a group to treat them, while the defensively strong Black Tortoise Clan Leader stood shoulder to shoulder with Gaiseresen at the forefront, guarding against any sneak attacks from the Eight Great Clans.
Bernistan was overjoyed and immediately sneaked over to the team of the Four Divine Beasts. No one on the field paid any attention to such a minor character as him.
High in the mountains, two groups of people faced off. Both sides appeared calm, but were actually quite surprised.
"Damn it, when did Gaiseresen arrive? How come no one noticed?" Wenner punched him angrily, his expression as if he could devour someone.
Edric said expressionlessly, "All our intelligence personnel were killed. The battle was too intense, and there wasn't enough time to report back. We're too close to the Skyrite Mountains; Gaiseresen and his men are faster than we imagined."
The intelligence agents in this area all came from the Edric Clan. When Edric saw Gaiseresen appear, he knew that all of his family's intelligence agents were doomed.
After reviewing the lineup of the Four Divine Beasts Clan and comparing it to their own strength, Deen shook his head and sighed, " Gaiseresen is quite formidable. He's mobilized eighty percent of his clan's power this time! All the Four Divine Beasts Clan's trump cards are present, along with over eighty elders... This force is no less than ours!"
Wenner drew a soft sword and assumed a fighting stance. "So what? This is a perfect opportunity to wipe them all out!"
Barbary, having finished the battle, pulled him aside. " Wenner, now is not the time. If we really fight, even if we kill them all, the six of us will probably perish! The Four Divine Beasts Clan ' trump cards, except for Blu, each possess Sovereign Artifact. Just in that respect, they are equal to us! Not to mention, they also have powerful Innate Divine Ability!"
In fact, it wasn't just Deen and Barbary who remained calm; apart from the enraged Wenner and Bolin, the other clan leaders all knew that the battle was probably over.
On the side of the Four Divine Beasts, besides the four clan leaders, the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan each have an ace. These two acees are also children of the Sovereign and possess Sovereign Artifact. In order to rescue Blu and the White Tiger Clan Leader, Gaiseresen brought them all out. Therefore, in terms of high-level combat power, the Four Divine Beasts Clan still has the upper hand.
In addition, the Four Divine Beasts also have a considerable number of Seven-Star Fiend, comparable in number to the Eight Great Clans. Judging from their strength on the field, both sides are evenly matched.
Faced with this situation, no one is willing to fight anymore, unless they want to perish together with the other side.
Gaiseresen glanced at the Eight Great Clans but remained silent. As the leader of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, he had to remain calm at all times; taking desperate gambles was never his approach.
" Reynalds, Edric, Barbary, Wenner, Deen, Bolin, we, the Four Divine Beasts Clan, will remember this debt! Sooner or later, we will settle it with you!" Gaiseresen said through gritted teeth, glancing back at the heavily injured White Tiger Clan Leader. The Four Divine Beasts were all indignant and eager to retaliate.
After exchanging a few words with the other clan leaders, Reynalds said, " Gaiseresen, our feud is irreconcilable. If we're talking about debts, your Four Divine Beasts Clan owes us far more! Today we were careless and you got the better of us. Sooner or later, our Eight Great Clans will annihilate your entire clan!"
A fierce battle was abruptly ended amidst threats from both sides, and everyone tacitly withdrew from the battlefield. For a long time after this battle, no major battles occurred in the Skyrite Mountains.
Six months later, Andrew, who had been diligently cultivating, learned of this news and was shocked. The White Tiger Clan Leader and Elder Bru had almost died, something that didn't happen in the original book.
"I almost killed two of my aces before I even helped the Four Divine Beasts Clan," Andrew said with a wry smile. "However, the Eight Great Clans were too disrespectful, actually using me. Hmph, I'll remember this debt and settle it later."
Andrew had no other intentions towards the Eight Great Clans. He and they originally had no enmity. However, since arriving in the Infernal Realm, Andrew had already decided to stand on the opposite side, a stance he had long ago made.
In battle, what need is there for grudges!
A century has passed quietly.
"Besides the one I used for body tempering, I have five drops of the Sovereign’s Might left. I'll give one to Pusluo first, and the rest will be auctioned off. Haha, let's see how much we can get this time!"
In the backyard of the manor's castle, Andrew walked out with a triumphant air, his mind already on the auction.
Over the course of a century, news of the auction held in Bloodflame City has spread throughout the Infernal Realm. Not only Blood Peak Continent, but even the northernmost Kalosha Continent knows about it. In recent decades, powerful figures have frequently visited Bloodflame City.
As the auction date approached, more and more people came to Bloodflame City. To ensure security, Andrew specially deployed several more Prefecture Army to Bloodflame City. As the capital of Bloodflame Prefecture, Bloodflame City originally had 100,000 Prefecture Army, and now that number has reached 500,000!
Not only that, but for some unknown reason, Bloodridge Army Commander Youyindier specifically dispatched an additional 100,000 Bloodridge Army to Bloodflame City. Andrew guessed that the other side was probably trying to curry favor.
However, an army of 600,000 is but a drop in the ocean compared to the number of people who arrived!
"Lord of the City, in the past ten years, tens of millions of people have poured into Bloodflame City, and this number is still increasing!" Kang'en has been extremely busy these past few years, and the influx of people into Bloodflame City has made him very nervous. According to intelligence, there are many powerful people among them, and some of them are not afraid of the Bloodridge Army and the Prefecture Army at all.
Andrew wasn't surprised. Having been in the Infernal Realm for hundreds of years, he already understood the mentality of some people quite well.
In the Infernal Realm, a significant number of people have lived for an extremely long time; for them, time holds no meaning. Among them are some highly skilled individuals who enjoy wandering, fighting, and watching excitement. These are the troublemakers who, wherever they go, bring trouble.
The auction caused a great sensation due to the appearance of the Sovereign’s Might, naturally attracting the attention of this group of people. They certainly didn't want to miss such a grand event. Therefore, regardless of whether they had the strength to bid, these people flocked to the auction.
They were less there to attend the auction and more there to cause trouble.
Kang'en, full of resentment, recounted many recent events, which angered Andrew as well.
