Chapter 735: Martial Saint Token (Part One)

While the crowd cursed and shouted, the Royal Family of the Xuelun Kingdom were escorted onto the execution stand.

The person in the front was an elderly man; he was the current King of Xuelun, [One Sword]'s father.

Right now, this old king was stripped away of his royal robe, and he was dressed in simple prisoner clothes. There were a few handprints on his face, and he was staggering a little. His hair was messy, but there were still some majestic lights flashing in his eyes. However, he looked depressed and sad.

Behind this old king, there was [One Sword]'s mother. She was more than 50 years old, but it was clear that she had maintained her looks. Her skin was still white and smooth, and wrinkles could barely be seen on her face. She was also in simple prisoner clothes, and she had heavy iron chains on her wrists and ankles. From the look on her face, she was on the verge of mental collapse, and she couldn't even stand still. If it weren't for the old king and a pretty woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties holding her up, this queen would have fallen onto the ground.

This pretty woman was also in simple prisoner clothes and iron chains, but she looked a bit more mentally stable. She was beautiful, and she had a kid with her. This kid looked to be five to six years old, and he grabbed onto his mom's shirt and followed her tightly. He looked like [One Sword], so he should be the son of the biggest traitor of Zenit.

Behind them, there were the other members of the Royal Family of Xuelun, as well as some of their guards. These people weren't treated as nicely as the previous people. The ones with warrior energies had their collarbones broken, and iron chains penetrated their shoulders and locked them together.

However, these men were all tough. Even though blood dripped down their wounds, and their faces turned pale while their lips turned purple from the pain, they didn't groan and kept to themselves.

"Kill them! Kill these b*stards of Xuelun!" the crowd shouted while throwing rocks, rotten vegetation, and stinky eggs at them. The hatred that the citizens of Zenit had toward the traitors was on another level. The strength of public opinion was mighty. Once it was ignited, it had the blind power to destroy both enemies and the people themselves.

Right now, the crowds were angry, and the people's eyes were all red. Even that timid little boy who was about five to six years old had several big bumps on his head after being hit. However, he didn't cry at all.

His mother protected him to the best of her abilities, and this weak woman who didn't have any warrior energy used her body to block the attacks for her son. Soon, she was covered in the smell of rotten eggs, and the rocks left many injuries on her body.

Soon, all these people from the Xuelun Kingdom were put on the execution stand.

"Prince [One Sword] of Xuelun had betrayed the Empire and joined the enemies, leading the Ten-Empire United Troops into the territories of Zenit! As a result, the six provinces in the south had fallen, and the Capital was even in danger…" The military clerk announced the decision of the Imperial Military Headquarters, and all these people were going to be hung right away, including males and females, children and elderly. All 31 of them were going to be hung before being decapitated.

A series of cheers sounded from the crowds after this statement was announced.

"No! We are wronged! We are unwilling to die with such verdict…" The pretty woman who was silent suddenly shouted, and she hugged onto her son tightly as she begged, "We don't know about His Highness' betrayal! The Xuelun Kingdom didn't commit treason! The Royal Family of Xuelun had been loyal toward Zenit, and His Highness went to the southern region of Zenit to battle the enemies of Spartax! The 6,000 soldiers of Xuelun also went along! [One Sword] His Highness killed more than a dozen masters of Spartax and was injured more than 20 times. Out of the 6,000 soldiers of Xuelun, 3,781 of them died in battle, and 540 of them became disabled…"

This pretty woman was [One Sword]'s only wife.

This boy who was about five to six years old was [One Sword]'s only child, and his name was Luffy.

However, the pleading and begging of this young woman was overpowered by the curses of the angry crowd.

Right now, no one was calm enough to think everything through.

The fact that [One Sword] had committed treason was something many people witnessed with their own eyes. The scene where he wore the armor of Ormond and battled with the master of Zenit was ironed into many soldiers' minds.

"Please! Please! It is ok that we die, but please pardon Little Luffy! He is only a child! He doesn't know anything…"

Chapter 736: [One Sword] Is Innocent (Part One)

The token that was by this military clerk's feet was the Martial Saint Token that represented the Imperial Martial Saint.

Although it was only about the size of a palm and had the shape of a hexagon, it wasn't made from any rare material, and it looked ordinary. However, the value of this black token was enough to make the Empire shake!

The previous Martial Saint, Krasic, was only a Moon-Class Elite, but his prestige was very high, and every citizen of Zenit respected him. Now, King Alexander of Chambord is a legend in the history of Zenit, and he just stopped powerful enemies from conquering Zenit. In fact, his influence was almost on par with Emperor Yassin when he was back at his prime. Right now, the King of Chambord's thoughts and words could dictate many people's fates.

The arrival of the Martial Saint Token represented the arrival of the Imperial Martial Saint.

Since the Martial Saint said that [One Sword] was innocent, this military clerk didn't dare to refuse even if his courage increased by 100 times.

When this military clerk said that no one could save the Xuelun Kingdom, he wasn't wrong. Even if the Royal Family of Zenit wanted to pardon the Xuelun Kingdom, they had to consider the potential reaction and the anger of the public. However, his mistake was forgetting about King Alexander who just became the Imperial Martial Saint.

"You are Martial Saint Alexander?"

Ad by Valueimpression

Although Fei was already well-known in St. Petersburg for both the good and the bad, and everyone in the Capital heard of him before, not a lot of people had seen him.

Under some exaggerated rumors, the image of the King of Chambord looked nothing like Fei.

In the rumors, the King of Chambord was several meters tall, full of muscles, had invincible strength, and had lights around him like a god!

Even though some people had seen Fei from a distance before, they couldn't be sure at this moment.

After all, the new Martial Saint was way too young, looking like a youth who wasn't even mature yet.

If it weren't for the Martial Saint Token that reminded this military clerk at this moment, he might not be able to recognize this handsome young man and identify the current Imperial Martial Saint.

Thousands of thoughts flashed in this military clerk's mind, and he picked up the Martial Saint Token that was on the ground with shaking hands before kneeling and handing the token back to Fei with both hands. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Sir, [One Sword]'s betrayal is evident, and tens of thousands of soldiers had seen it with their own eyes. The Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters both gave orders to kill the Royal Family of Xuelun. Why are you… trying to save them? If there isn't a proper explanation, it might hinder your image and prestige in the eyes of the public!"

"[One Sword] is innocent, and there doesn't need an explanation. Spread my words across the Empire and clean the reputation for the Xuelun Kingdom. If anyone needs an explanation, tell them to come to Martial Saint Mountain and find me!" Fei said firmly after a moment of thinking.

[One Sword] didn't betray the Empire.

Unfortunately, this young and talented swordsman was too competitive and pursued power eagerly. He was a bit careless and got his body and mind seized by a demon. He wasn't able to control himself and lead the enemies into Zenit, creating this tragedy.

However, he was able to use his last bit of life energy and power to kill many Moon-Class Elites and soldiers of Ormond with his n*ked body, and he even slayed Prince Xanchua of Ormond and severely injured General Peith of Ormond.

In a sense, he had redeemed himself and made up for his mistake. He was still an honorable warrior who deserved to be recognized and admired.

The theory of [One Sword] starting this war was nonsense.

The Chaos Era had arrived on the Azeroth Continent, and wars between empires were going to be common. Therefore, the invasion of the Ten-Empire United Troops was set in stone. Even if [One Sword] weren't here, they wouldn't let the Zenitians off the hook.

One could only say that this genius swordsman was played by fate mercilessly.

According to [One Sword]'s last dying wish, Fei wasn't going to make this information public and explain everything. However, he was going to protect [One Sword]'s wife and kid, as well as the Royal Family of Xuelun. This Luffy was the son of a loyal master of Zenit who died so young, and this boy deserved to live in this cold world.

"This…" The military clerk still wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth and held back.

"Since the Imperial Martial Saint wants to protect these prisoners, a little military clerk like me can't deal with it. I will just report back to the Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters. They probably can't blame it on me, and this is something that the influential figures have to think about," he thought.

Now, the crowd finally realized what was happening, and they started to change.

The anger on the people's minds quickly disappeared when they heard the name, King Alexander of Chambord, and they became so excited that their bodies shivered, and their burning gazes landed on Fei.

The atmosphere in the area quickly changed, and all other emotions except for excitement were thrown out. The fact that they could see the legendary hero, the invincible battle god, and the protector of Zenit made them overjoyed.

Every single person felt like they were blessed! They didn't expect that they could see the new Imperial Martial Saint in their lifetime!

Many people rubbed their eyes again and again, trying to make sure that they didn't see an illusion.

Tears of joy rolled down their faces.

"So, this handsome young man with long black hair is King Alexander of Chambord!" someone suddenly shouted.

As a result, the boiling yet quiet atmosphere suddenly erupted like a volcano, and chain reactions took place like a series of dominos.

Everyone kneeled on the ground and chanted, "Hail the Martial Saint!"

Even soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] who were murderous with weapons in their hands looked at each other, dropped their weapons, and kneeled while chanting and shivering.

"Since Martial Saint Alexander said [One Sword] is innocent, that must be true! We must have misunderstood something…"

"Yeah! Mr. Alexander is our protector! How can we doubt his words?"

"I know! [One Sword] must be a spy who was sent by Martial Saint Alexander! We are so foolish! We misunderstood [One Sword], and we even cursed the family of a hero! Do you guys remember? There were seven terrifying Xuan'ge of Ormond, and one of the biggest Xuan'ge disappeared. Mr. [One Sword] must made it happen! He is a hero who took the blame for the victory of Zenit!"

"Yeah! Now that you mention it, I do remember my brother saying… My brother is working at [Iron Blood Legion], and he said that he saw Mr. [One Sword] leaving with that giant Xuan'ge…"

"Damn it! What were we doing? If it weren't for Martial Saint, we almost killed the family of a hero!"

Fei's influence in Zenit was on another level! All the citizens and soldiers had 100% faith in this new Martial Saint, and one sentence from Fei was able to change [One Sword]'s impression on people's minds.

Without having to give an explanation himself, Fei made all the people shift their perspectives and come up with reasons to fill in the holes.

This wasn't something that Fei expected.

-On the execution stand-

The Royal Family of Xuelun who were about to be killed finally realized what was happening.

Never in their dreams did they expect Martial Saint Alexander, who was now one of the most influential people in the Empire, to come and save them!

They weren't afraid of death, but they didn't want to die for the wrong reasons and be shamed forever.

The people here were the elites in the Royal Family of Xuelun, and they were the closest people to [One Sword]. They had been proud of [One Sword], and [One Sword] represented the Xuelun Kingdom since he became famous.

Never in the history of Xuelun did a prince get as influential as [One Sword]. He was the idol to many people of Xuelun, and he was looked up to as a fatherly figure for a lot of kids.

Therefore, they didn't believe that [One Sword] betrayed the Empire.

They wanted to clean [One Sword]'s name, but they were powerless.

Therefore, they all cried when they heard the Imperial Martial Saint say that [One Sword] was innocent. Even those tough men who got their shoulders penetrated by iron chains and didn't make a fuss were crying at this moment.

They felt like their souls were freed.

Chapter 737: Second Disciple (Part One)

The Old King of Xuelun looked at Fei with a complicated expression on his face.

He knew that his son treated the King of Chambord as his mortal enemy when he was alive. After the competition at St. Petersburg about half a year ago, [One Sword] started to practice his technique crazily as if he were possessed. He wanted to achieve a breakthrough in terms of cultivation so that he could defeat the King of Chambord.

"Now my son is dead and got stains on his name, and the person who cleaned his name is his mortal enemy. Fate is unpredictable!" the Old King of Xuelun thought to himself.

"Thank you for restoring our master's reputation!" The few tough men who were tortured kneeled in front of Fei and expressed their gratitude.

Fei didn't say anything, but he waved his finger, shattering the iron hooks and chains on their shoulders and turning them into powder without touching the wounds. Then, he switched to Paladin Mode and injected golden holy power into these tough men, healing their bodies. Even though that was quick, and Fei's paladin character wasn't at a high level, the injuries on these men were mostly cured, and they would completely recover after a few months.

These people were all loyal and virtuous, so Fei had good impressions of them.

"Quick, come over! Little Luffy, quickly thank Mr. Martial Saint! Thank him for saving us!" That beautiful woman didn't think as much as the old king. She quickly kneeled and kowtowed, trying to express her gratitude. Seeing that her son was able to live, and [One Sword]'s bloodline was saved, she almost saw Fei as a god.

Fei waved his hand, and an invisible energy helped this woman to stand up.

"Are you Uncle Alexander? Thank you for saving my grandpa, grandma, mom, and uncles. You are a great man!" Little Luffy was a little thin, and his skin was tanned by the Sun, looking a little brown. His big dark eyes looked cute, and his tone was childish. However, he tried to act adult-like, and it was funny.

It seemed like Luffy wasn't scared of strangers. He pulled on Fei's shirt and said in pity, "When my dad talked with me in private once, he told me that King Alexander of Chambord is a real master! He said that you are the person who he wants to defeat the most, but you are also the person who he admires the most… Uncle Alexander, where did Dad go? Can you teach me how to fight? I want to become a big hero like you and Dad!"

"Huh?" Fei didn't expect [One Sword] to highly praise him in private. In a sense, it was quite an accomplishment to be praised this way by an opponent.

The king looked at Luffy who was staring back at him with big eyes filled with hope and earnestly, and he smiled and nodded, saying, "Ok. If you are willing to take me as your master, you can become my second disciple!"

Fei didn't just say this casually.

Now, [One Sword] was dead, and most of the elite soldiers of Xuelun were killed in battle when they followed Crown Prince Arshavin to the Spartax Battle Zone about half a year ago. In addition, the Xuelun Kingdom was punished by the Zenit Empire, and its reputation and strength both fell drastically. It was impossible for them to sustain their status as a level 1 affiliated kingdom, and they might not be able to maintain the status of a level 4 or a level 5 affiliated kingdom.

Since [One Sword] was cold and stayed lonely pretty much his entire life, he had offended a lot of noble families and significant forces in the Empire. Although Fei saved the Royal Family of Xuelun today, others might use all kinds of excuses to cause trouble for them and make their lives harder.

Chapter 737: Second Disciple (Part Two)

In this cruel world, it wasn't rare for these things to happen. Those people who hated [One Sword] might come together and try to kill [One Sword]'s only child.

Fei couldn't stay by Luffy's side and protect him all the time.

However, if he took Luffy in as a disciple, this boy would be the disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint, and his status would skyrocket.

With Fei's name, power, and well-known overprotectiveness, no one in the Zenit Empire would dare to mess with Luffy, and no one would want to cause trouble for the Xuelun Kingdom which had a descendant as the Imperial Martial Saint's disciple.

What Fei said surprised everyone, and the Old King of Xuelun couldn't hold back his overly excited expression. As lights dashed out of his eyes, he knew that the Xuelun Kingdom didn't need to worry about getting bullied anymore.

The pretty woman also got elated. As a mother, the first thing that she thought about was her son's future and growth.

Becoming the disciple of the legendary Impartial Martial Saint who was a Sun-Class Lord was the dream of numerous talented young Zenitians. If the descendants of influential noble families got this opportunity, they would wake up laughing every morning.

"Quick! Son, Luffy! Quick! Bow and kneel! Call him Master from now on!" The pretty woman was too excited, and she couldn't put a proper sentence together. She couldn't hold back her emotions and cried again.

Afraid that the Imperial Martial Saint would go back on his words, she pulled her son over and almost pressed on his little head, telling him to bow and take Fei as his master quickly.

"Master, I, Luffy, am willing to serve you! From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly and listen to your teachings. I will work hard and try my best to become a powerful warrior like you! I won't lose face for you!" It was clear that this little guy was very excited, and he kneeled and kowtowed as he stated in his childish voice. His adult-like act was quite cute and made Fei laugh a little.

This scene made a lot of people in the area jealous and envious.

Almost everyone in the crowd was thinking, "[One Sword]'s son is so lucky! He is able to become a disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint this easily! This misfortune turned into something great, and his future is unlimited! No one in Zenit would dare to mess with him again!"

At this moment, a lot of young people wanted Fei to accept them as disciples as well, but they didn't dare to step forward and ask after looking at that young but majestic figure on the execution stand. They knew that they weren't talented enough, and the Imperial Martial Saint probably wouldn't take them in.

"Eh, from now on, you will be my second disciple. You have a senior brother named Philip Inzagi, and you will meet him soon. Ok, that is enough for today. You can go back with your grandparents and mom to pack up. After saying goodbye to them, come and find me on Martial Saint Mountain tomorrow at noon!"

After getting back the Martial Saint Token from that military clerk, Fei placed it in Luffy's hands and dashed away, disappearing from the area.

A series of cheers instantly sounded, and the crowd slowly stood up after Fei was long gone.

Every single one of them was excited, and they couldn't wait to share what they witnessed today with their families and friends.

"Haha! I only came to watch the execution, but I got the chance to see the legendary Imperial Martial Saint! I'm so lucky!" people thought to themselves.

Chapter 738: Chris Sutton (Part One)

The news about Imperial Martial Saint Alexander taking in [One Sword]'s only child, Luffy, as a disciple quickly spread around St. Petersburg, and the phrase, [One Sword] is innocent, was also passed to everyone's ears.

The residents who had seen what happened at that execution ground where Fei appeared told everyone they knew about what they experienced and what their hypotheses were. Therefore, the story about how [One Sword] acted as the spy of the Empire and went undercover at the enemies also got spread around.

Under the purposeful push of the [Letter Office], the story about [One Sword] battling until death at Chambord City and killing a prince of Ormond was made known to people.

Therefore, [One Sword] turned from the biggest traitor in the history of Zenit to the most loyal and honorable warrior of Zenit just because of Fei's words.

Even the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Royal Family of Zenit retracted their verdict on [One Sword]. Although they didn't officially accept and promote the heroic stories about [One Sword] that were passed around in public, this simple retraction was enough to prove some points.

What surprised a lot of people was that Fei's reputation and influence as the new Imperial Martial Saint didn't decrease due to this incident. Instead, it was growing and taking on an upward trend.

The residence that the Xuelun Kingdom had in St. Petersburg was also being visited by a lot of people, and a lot of nobles waited in line to connect with them.

With a royal as the disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint, very few people dared to mess with the Xuelun Kingdom anymore.

…

-The second day-

Before noon, a black carriage that was pulled by horses slowly came out of the residence of the Xuelun Kingdom and traveled toward Martial Saint Mountain that was located in the middle of the City.

On the way, many people glanced at this carriage with envy and jealousy; they all knew that the little Prince Luffy of Xuelun was heading to Martial Saint Mountain to become the official disciple of Martial Saint Alexander. His luck was beyond disbelief!

Except for little Prince Luffy, there was his mom, Laura, and his grandparents in the carriage.

The journey was smooth, and they reached the foot of Martial Saint Mountain soon.

The people of Martial Saint Mountain were already waiting.

After Martial Saint Krasic died in battle, Martial Saint Mountain was under lockdown. Most of Krasic's disciples followed Fei; they were all powerful and were great loyal subordinates. Fei placed most of them into the [Letter Office], but he kept a small number of them close by.

Now that Fei was the new Imperial Martial Saint, he reopened Martial Saint Mountain and called back a portion of Krasic's disciples to maintain its operations.

The muscular young man who was waiting for Little Luffy was Matri, and he was one of the most talented disciples of Krasic. He was a Six-Star Warrior, and his strength grew by a lot after he started to follow Fei. Now, he was already at peak Eight-Star, and his long blond hair would flutter when he spoke with a smile on his handsome face.

After taking Luffy off the carriage, Matri said respectfully, "Luffy Your Highness, welcome to Martial Saint Mountain. Mr. Martial Saint is waiting for you. Laura Your Highness, you can also come to Martial Saint Mountain with Luffy His Highness and take care of him. King and Queen of Xuelun, please head back after saying goodbye to Luffy His Highness!"

Matri was respectful toward Luffy and Laura, but he was neutral toward the King and Queen of Xuelun.

Since Luffy was now Fei's disciple, he was a young master of Martial Saint Mountain. That was why Matri was respectful toward him. As a member of Martial Saint Mountain, Matri didn't really care about the king of an affiliated kingdom.

Chapter 738: Chris Sutton (Part Two)

The pretty woman, Laura, was pleasantly surprised.

She thought that she wouldn't be able to see her son for a long time from this point on, but the Martial Saint allowed her to be with her son, so they didn't need to be separated.

However, the King of Xuelun was a little disappointed. He came with his grandson in hopes that he could go on Martial Saint Mountain and get closer to Fei. After hearing Matri's words, he knew that this wasn't possible.

Therefore, after greeting Matri and saying goodbye to Luffy and Laura reluctantly, he got back onto the carriage with his wife and left.

"Luffy Your Highness, please wait for a moment. There are a few more people who are here to visit Mr. Martial Saint today."

After Matri led Luffy and Laura to a pavilion on the side, he went back to the square before Martial Saint Mountain and waited.

After a while, Luffy saw a handsome young man in golden armor coming to the square. After he spoke with Matri a little, he walked over with a smile on his face when Matri pointed in Luffy's direction.

"You must be Little Luffy, right? I'm Chris Sutton from the Imperial Knight Palace. It is nice to meet you, Little Guy!"

After the self-introduction, this handsome young man patted Luffy's head intimately.

He was the Golden Sun Knight, Chris Sutton. He battled alongside Fei and became the youngest Moon-Class Elite in the Zenit Empire.

He was here to visit the Martial Saint as well.

"Ah! Really? You are Brother Sutton who battled alongside my master?" With a thrilled expression on his face, he said in his childish tone, "I didn't know that I will see you here today! I'm so happy!"

This little guy was great at complimenting people.

Nueey

As a master of Zenit who battled alongside Fei, his temperament and courage stunned a lot of people.

In addition, he was already famous from before. His talent, handsome looks, and young age all added to his fame. Therefore, it wasn't strange that Luffy, who admired all kinds of heroes and masters, had heard of him before.

On the side, Laura just learned Sutton's real identity and quickly dragged Luffy who acted childishly as she bowed. "It is you, Mr. Execution Knight. We apologize for…"

"Please don't be so polite with me, Your Highness," Sutton quickly said as he stopped them, "Luffy His Highness is now a disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint. He is of prestigious status, and he shouldn't bow to me."

Sutton was a conceited character, and he had never acted this way toward someone who was younger than him. However, Luffy complimented him and was Fei's disciple.

Even though there were grudges between Fei and him, all of those disappeared after the battle yesterday. Since Fei helped him advanced into the Moon-Class, he could be considered as Fei's half-disciple. Therefore, Sutton and Luffy were technically senior brothers and junior brothers, so that was why Sutton was more intimate.

The three of them continued to wait; there were still a few more people coming to Martial Saint Mountain.

Sutton's cultivation strength was on par with [One Sword] before that golden skeleton possessed the latter, and he was experienced and knowledgeable. Since he was fond of Luffy, he answered several of Luffy's questions, and they were having a good time.

Laura just stood on the side and watched patiently with a smile on her face.

About ten more minutes passed, and a series of clip-clopping noises sounded.

Sutton turned around, and his face changed color.

Chapter 739: Tough Characters (Part One)

Ten people arrived at the square before the Martial Saint Mountain on horses.

The person in the lead was thin and not that tall, and he was in an ordinary robe. However, there was a light silver mask that covered half of his face, revealing his mouth and chin. He looked quite young and possibly less than 20 years old, and his long blond hair swayed behind his back. Even though he looked calm and peaceful, there was a sense of danger and murderousness coming off of him.

The nine people behind him were all wearing the same kind of black robes, but they were in various ages groups; some elderly people were in their sixties, and some young people were in their twenties. Even though they looked common, their eyes were sharp, and their auras were on another level.

Most of them were between Six-Star and Eight-Star, and two of them had entered low-tier Moon-Class; they were on the same level as Chris Sutton, and it was impressive.

The person in the lead jumped off the horse and chatted with Matri who was waiting there. Then, they walked toward the pavilion.

It was clear that they were the last group of people who were going to go on the Martial Saint Mountain.

"It is them…" The Golden Sun Knight looked at that young man in the mask and was stunned; he didn't expect to see this group of people here.

"Brother Sutton, who are they? Are they visiting Master as well?" Luffy pointed at the man in the mask and asked in his childish tone.

"I'm not too sure, but it seems like it." Sutton thought for a while and patted Luffy's head before saying, "Don't get too close to these people; they are tough characters."

"Are they dangerous? Who are they?" Luffy asked with curiosity.

"They are from a mysterious underground organization. That man with the silver mask is one of the two leaders, and he is really mysterious; no one knows where he came from, and no one knows who is behind him. We only know that his nickname is [Young Man]. This organization suddenly appeared about a year ago. In the beginning, not a lot of people paid attention to them. However, now they are the most powerful non-official intelligence network in the Empire. It is heard that even the intelligence of the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Imperial Knight Palace couldn't figure out their backgrounds. There are a lot of masters in this organization, and there is nothing that they couldn't find. The most powerful master in this organization is known as the [Bloody Yellow Cape], and this person is known as the most powerful master in the underground world in the Empire. No one knows how powerful this person is, and some people estimate that this [Bloody Yellow Cape] is a Sun-Class Lord!" Chris Sutton said to Luffy in a low voice.

After hearing the serious words that came from Sutton who was an executive knight, Laura got a little scared and quickly pulled her son into her arms before covering his mouth, afraid that her talkative son would trigger and offend those vicious characters.

Sutton was young and already an executive knight, and he was from a big noble family. There weren't a lot of people who had more prestigious status than him, and he was conceited and haughty.

However, even he was concerned about these people, and that was enough to prove how terrifying that young man with the silver mask was.

Right now, those ten people arrived at the pavilion under the lead of Matri.

It was clear that this man in the mask had paid attention over here. When he looked up and glanced at Sutton, a strange half-smile appeared on his face; it was hard to understand what he was thinking about. Then, he looked at Luffy and observed this boy. He didn't say anything; instead, he turned over and chatted with someone beside him.

Chapter 739: Tough Characters (Part Two)

Even though Luffy was in his mom's arms and got his mouth tightly covered, he clearly saw that this young man in the mask had given him a friendly smile. For some reason, he felt like this man who was terrifying in Sutton's eyes was intimate toward him like a big brother.

Soon, they started their journey and climbed up the Martial Saint Mountain.

The path onto the central mountain was quite steep, and they had to pass many tunnels, walk on many stairs, and get through iron chains that were dangling in the air. Ordinary people without warrior energies or magic energies wouldn't be able to get onto the mountain.

If it weren't for Sutton who was intimate toward them, Luffy and Laura might not be able to get through all the obstacles and get to the top of the mountain. Matri saw this, but he didn't say anything. He simply led the way in the front.

After about one hour, this group of people reached the top.

The peak of Martial Saint Mountain was like a paradise. It was warm with fresh air, and the scenery was just stunning. There was green grass, vibrant trees, and even a running river. Beautiful butterflies flew around, and cute animals like rabbits and squirrels appeared frequently.

This was Chris Sutton's first-time coming to the peak of Martial Saint Mountain. Even though he didn't know why King Alexander of Chambord wanted to see him, he was very excited.

The fact that he was able to climb the mountain and get to the top was a great honor.

The young man with the silver mask and the people who came with him were asked to rest and wait inside a guest house.

Sutton, Luffy, and Laura were led by another young man of the Martial Saint Mountain, walked through a green path, and arrived at the edge of a cliff in about a dozen minutes. The area near the cliff was more open, and an ancient wooden building stood there quietly.

Beside this wooden building, there was a pavilion that was propped up by four pillars that had green vines grown all over them. There was a handsome, black-haired young man standing in the pavilion and glancing at the entire city from the above. He seemed dashing and ethereal, looking like an immortal who was above all the mortal matters and conflicts.

He was Alexander, the King of Chambord and the Imperial Martial Saint.

After that young man of Martial Saint Mountain led the three people to the pavilion, he reported to Fei and left.

"It is Executive Knight Chris Sutton's honor to see you, Mr. Martial Saint!"

"Master, your disciple Luffy is here."

"It is my honor to see you, Mr. Martial Saint!"

The three greeted Fei respectfully and bowed according to their status.

Even though Imperial Martial Saints weren't involved in the military, politics, or civil matters, their status was superior. Even the royal families couldn't constrain them!

Their supreme status deserved respectful and sincere greetings.

"Eh, come here." Fei turned around, nodded, and pointed at the stone chairs in the pavilion, signaling them to sit down.

After the three of them sat down, Sutton looked at Fei and sighed in his mind, "When I was younger and more aggressive, I went to challenge him on his way to St. Petersburg under some people's provocations. Although I lost that battle on the Dual-Tower Mountain, we could still be considered as young talents. But now, he has transformed into a holy dragon that soars in the sky, and I'm far behind him even though my strength improved. We are no longer on the same level."

Sutton knew that not only him, but the entire young generation of Zenit was also going to be topped by the King of Chambord, and no one could surpass him.

Chapter 740: Not Going to Learn Sword (Part One)

Fei didn't have the arrogance that usually came along with the supreme status such as being the Imperial Martial Saint, and he was quite casual when he talked.

After chatting for a while, Sutton gradually realized that he just started to understand the legendary man in front of him.

The rumors that were passed around in the upper-class circle in the Zenit Empire said that the King of Chambord was savage, rude, impolite, and arrogant.

Now, Sutton realized that all those were just rumors after all. Only the people who were close to the King of Chambord knew how he was.

Sutton was very thankful toward Fei for helping him elevate his realm.

Fei waved his hand and explained with a smile on his face, "Even Sun-Class Lords couldn't elevate a warrior to Moon-Class easily. Otherwise, wouldn't Moon-Class Elites be more common? If that is the case, the empires with Sun-Class Lords would have a lot of Moon-Class Elites. The most important thing is that you were at the threshold, and you were only one step away from becoming a Moon-Class Elite. To break that threshold, your strength, luck, courage, mental stability, momentary condition… Everything must be aligned. That day during battle, your spirit, energy, and mind were all in harmony, and you were devoted in battle. You were in the [Raged State], one of the four states that could facilitate breakthroughs. I only gave you a little push; it was your hard work and accumulation that got you here. If you were afraid of the masters of Leon, I wouldn't be able to help you get into Moon-Class even though I'm much more powerful!"

Fei was telling the truth.

Sutton was in a unique state that day. As if two people had crushes on each other, Fei was like that friend who pushed them to take the leap of faith. Everything else went according to nature from that point on.

If it were anyone else, Fei might not be able to help that person become a Moon-Class Elite.

Even though this was the case, Sutton was still very thankful.

He knew that if he missed that opportunity and didn't receive help from Fei, it might take him one to two years to advance to Moon-Class on his own. Also, since Fei helped him out, the energy of Sun-Class had left marks in his body and could lead the way for him in the future.

In a sense, there was now a Sun-Class seed in his body, and it would help him comprehend the energy that was on a higher level.

He was very fortunate!

Fei nodded and looked at Sutton as he said, "It isn't me who summoned you here; the Royal Family had sent the Emperor's Order, asking you to leave the Imperial Knight Palace, take off the position as the Tenth Executive Knight, and come to Martial Saint Mountain to cultivate and practice techniques. Are you willing to do that?"

Sutton was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

Nueey

If it were a year ago, he wouldn't be willing to ditch the honor of being an executive knight and the glory of the Imperial Knight Palace to come to stay at this lonely mountain. Although Martial Saint Mountain was great, it might be too low-key since there was almost no opportunity to show-off.

However, after all these experiences he had this year, this executive knight who had been arrogant and conceited already grew by a lot, and he was able to see through the materialism.

Therefore, Sutton was overjoyed, and he quickly agreed.

"Eh, since the Chaos Era has arrived, and wars are going to occur between empires, Zenit will be involved as well. Even though the Zenit Empire is more remote, located to the north of the Continent, and wouldn't be in direct conflicts, it is hard for the Empire to stay out of it completely. This war between Zenit and the Ten-Empire United Troops exposed a lot of Zenit's weaknesses. The most important issue is that the Empire lacks top-tier masters, and there are too few Moon-Class Elites. The Royal Family wants you to study at Martial Saint Mountain because of your great talent. As one of the best young men in this generation, you have the potential to reach higher realms…" Fei explained further.

Chapter 740: Not Going to Learn Sword (Part Two)

Then, he took out a thick booklet from his storage ring and gave it to Sutton.

"This booklet contains my understanding of metal-elemental warrior energy, and there are also a few cultivation techniques and combat techniques in there. I hope it will be of help to you."

Sutton was excited, and he quickly flipped it through as soon as he got his hands on it. Then, he started to shiver in excitement.

Although Sutton was far less powerful than Fei, he was from a noble family and worked at the Imperial Knight Palace. Therefore, his understanding and knowledge base was much broader compared to ordinary warriors. After only looking through a few pages, he knew that this booklet was an excellent manual for all metal-elemental warriors. If other metal-elemental warriors knew about this, bloody battles would occur over its ownership.

He didn't expect the King of Chambord, who didn't cultivate metal-elemental warrior energy, to have such a profound understanding of it, and Fei was even more impressive in his eyes.

He didn't know that this booklet was put together by Fei overnight according to [Demon King's Sword] and his current level. It was tailored to him to the teeth!

If he worked hard and cultivated according to it, he might be able to reach the realm of Sun-Class in less than ten years.

"Thank you, Mr. Martial Saint!" Sutton put away the booklet carefully before expressing his gratitude again.

"Eh, as long as it helps you. I won't be residing on Martial Saint Mountain for long. From now on, all the operation and management will be taken care of by the disciples of the previous Martial Saint, Mr. Krasic. You can put all your effort on cultivation, and you can instruct Luffy on the side while guarding this Martial Saint Mountain for the Empire. Remember, the more powerful you are, the safer the Empire is!"

"Ah? You… you are leaving the city? If the masters of Ormond come and…" Sutton was stunned when he heard that Fei was going to leave. Right now, Zenit couldn't survive without Fei being here.

"Don't worry, there is still a powerful master in the Capital, and his strength isn't lower than mine. Even if Sun-Class Lords come, they might not be able to make it back alive. The Capital is more secure than you think, so you don't have to worry about it." Fei didn't say who this master was, and Sutton couldn't think of anyone who fit that description even after pondering for a while.

Since Fei didn't say who it was, he didn't feel comfortable asking.

After a short pause, Fei smiled and said, "That is all for today; I still need to tend to other guests. Your residence has already been set up, and you can go check it out and see if you like it or not."

When Fei finished, a member of Martial Saint Mountain came over and led Sutton away, and they disappeared into the green forest.

Then, Fei got the chance to chat with his second disciple, Luffy.

He gradually realized that this kid was little but quite mature, and he was great at complimenting people. His flattering skills were on par with Flatterer Oleg.

His personality wasn't like his dad [One Sword] at all. His father was haughty and lonely, but Luffy was way too playful and talkative.

"Master, Master! I don't want to learn sword techniques! My dad practiced sword all his life, and he worked hard, but he still couldn't defeat you…" This little guy soon got intimate with Fei, and he dragged Fei's hand and begged.

Laura who was standing by the side was terrified, afraid that her son would offend the Imperial Martial Saint in some way.

Fei laughed and asked, "Hahaha, alright. If you don't want to learn sword, what do you want to learn?"

Chapter 741: The Real Ruler (Part One)

Luffy rubbed his chin and pondered like an adult. After a while, he suddenly thought of something and laughed, "My dad told me that your fist techniques are the most powerful! I want to learn that from you!"

"Fist Technique?" Fei smiled.

His previous [Sky Frost Fist] and his current [Invincible Emperor Fist] were both techniques that he was proud of, but these two techniques were powered by the insane physical strength of the barbarian and required the understanding of barbarian skills. Besides, Fei created these two techniques from the experiences he had while battling monsters and demons in Diablo World and the murderous spirit that he accumulated.

Other people didn't have a golden finger like Diablo World, so they couldn't learn and comprehend the two fist techniques that Fei created.

However, there were some ferocious fist techniques from the Mythical Era that were documented on [Demon King's Sword]. If they were mastered, the power that one could unleash was insane as well.

Since Luffy was still young, it was the best time for him to start practicing combat techniques and cultivating. After all, children were able to pick up things much faster.

After making the decision, Fei nodded and agreed to Luffy's request. This little guy got so excited that he jumped up and down.

Beside them, Laura also got a little emotional.

[One Sword]'s death was a massive blow to her. If it weren't for Luffy who still needed her care, she might have committed suicide and followed her husband to the netherworld. The deep connection between them was hard for outsiders to understand.

Her husband was a great hero, so she also wanted their son to follow [One Sword]'s path and become someone who was looked up to by many people.

However, she was only [One Sword]'s wife who was from a poor family. She didn't have any power, the support of an influential family, or a high status in the Xuelun Kingdom, so she wasn't able to boost her son on the path of success.

However, tragedy turned into fortune, and her son got the legendary Imperial Martial Saint's liking and was taken in as a disciple.

After thinking back to the fervent King and Queen of Xuelun, the envious servants, and the flattering that came from the influential figures of Zenit, Laura knew that her son's life changed, and all of that was brought to them by this young and handsome Imperial Martial Saint.

After chatting with Luffy for a while, a member of Martial Saint Mountain came over and brought Laura and Luffy to their residence.

Fei sat down at the pavilion and waited.

Soon, a series of footsteps sounded.

Under the lead of Matri, that man with the silver mask and the nine masters behind him arrived at the pavilion.

As soon as that man with the silver mask got to the pavilion, he suddenly started to shiver. He quickened his steps, took off his mask, and kneeled as he said, "Your Majesty, I… I finally saw you again!"

The nine masters behind him were shocked.

They had followed this man with the mask for a while now, and they were used to their leader being calm and calculative even in front of powerful enemies. This was their first time seeing their leader acting this way.

"Could it be that our leader is afraid of the Imperial Martial Saint? Or… Why is our leader addressing the Imperial Martial Saint as Your Majesty? Could it be…"

These men who were able to follow the man with the silver mask this closely were all strong and intelligent characters, and they instantly thought everything through.

Chapter 741: The Real Ruler (Part Two)

From yesterday on, only the citizens of Chambord would address the Imperial Martial Saint as Your Majesty.

"Our leader is a Chambordian? Then… it means that the organization which we are working for is brought up by King Alexander of Chambord in the back?" they thought to themselves.

Trump's IQ is Finally Revealed - Try Not to Gasp!

Nueey

As if it were a response to their thoughts, a series of crisp laughter sounded from the pavilion.

The Imperial Martial Saint who was sitting on a stone chair in the pavilion stood up and walked out. Then, he patted their leader's shoulder as he observed and said, "I haven't seen you in almost a year, and that little mine slave in the Blackstone Fortress already turned into [Young Man] who is famous in St. Petersburg. Hahaha! Eh, you grew a bit taller, but you are still so thin as if you are malnourished. Hahaha, you are more handsome, and your strength improved. Great! Haha! Don't be so formal! Today, we are just old friends instead of king and subordinate. Let's sit down and chat!"

After that, Fei helped this man with the silver mask stand up.

This man was Modric, the youngster that Fei saved from the Blackstone Kingdom close to a year ago. Now, he was the leader of the most mysterious underground organization in the Capital.

Fei suddenly thought of something after walking a few steps forward with Modric. He turned around and looked at the nine men behind them as he laughed, "Haha, I'm a bit too excited and neglected you guys. You must be the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] in our [Letter Office], right? You sure have impressive auras. Thank you for your hard work. Come in and sit down; don't be so formal. Otherwise, the brothers and sisters in the [Letter Office] will say that I, the big boss, is not nice toward you all!"

The nine masters were all thrilled.

Right now, they were so excited that they couldn't even get a word out.

Although they were called [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] in the underground world, and others were terrified of them, they were shy and nervous in front of the legendary Imperial Martial Saint. It looked like a bunch of kids were seeing their idol for the first time.

After all, Fei was too famous, his story was legendary, and his strength was mighty. Sun-Class Lords were like gods in the minds of the warriors of Zenit.

Before today, these nine masters all wondered who the real ruler of the [Letter Office] was in secret, just like all the other masters who were recruited by the [Letter Office] in this past year. After all, both of their leaders, [Young Man] and [Old Man], clearly stated that they weren't the real ruler.

A lot of them thought that perhaps the Royal Family or the Imperial Military Headquarters was the mysterious ruler. After all, the [Letter Office] had a lot of resources and broad networks. In addition, the most powerful figure in the [Letter Office], [Bloody Yellow Cape], was way too strong.

Ordinary noble families and forces couldn't fund an organization like this.

None of them expected this legendary king to be the real ruler of the organization.

The [Cold Blood Nine Eagle] looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

The stronger the ruler was, the safer the [Letter Office] would be, and the further this organization could go.

With King Alexander of Chambord being the ruler, people like the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] would be more protected.

In addition, Fei was a legendary warrior in the eyes of Zenitians, and he was the idol to many of them.

A lot of people were dreaming of serving under this great king, and the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] didn't expect this great fortune to land in their laps.

Chapter 742: Darkness Enveloping the Land (Part One)

Although Fei invited them to come and sit down in the pavilion, the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] didn't dare to be so casual in front of the Imperial Martial Saint and their idol. They all nodded after hearing Fei's words, but they didn't sit down after they walked in. Instead, they all stood behind Modric respectfully.

Fei didn't force them.

Since the inception of the [Letter Office], Modric and Zolasc were in charge of everything, and Fei didn't get his hands into the management of the organization. It was clear that Modric had his own ways of managing people. The [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] were famous in the underground world, and their strengths were far more powerful than Modric's, but they were very respectful toward Modric. Therefore, Fei didn't want to do anything to break Modric's prestige in their minds accidentally.

Looking at this blond young man in front of him, Fei felt like he could still vaguely sense within him the thin young man who risked his life to steal a piece of bread for his starving friend in the mine pit of Blackstone. This young man who got out of the mine pit had accompanied Chambord and grown with it, and he had witnessed how Chambord went from a little level 6 affiliated kingdom to a supreme force in the Empire as well as the king's legendary and shocking uprise.

Fei was in a great mood.

The two chatted for a while, and Modric told Fei a lot of stories about him and Zolasc managing the [Letter Office], and he also gave Fei a detailed report on the [Letter Office]'s size, coverage, and intelligence networks.

Right now, the [Letter Office] had grown out of the territories of Zenit. Under the powerful backing from Chambord both in terms of finance and supply of masters, it had intelligence workers in all the big empires within 500,000 kilometers of Zenit. In fact, some of the intelligence workers were executing missions in the empires outside of this zone.

In this year, the [Letter Office] had recruited a lot of people, and some of them were Moon-Class Elites. Also, it had grown some talents. For example, the two Moon-Class Elites who were in their sixties in the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] recently advanced after they completed a big mission and were rewarded with the godly herbs that Fei obtained from the Core Region in the Mythical Palace.

What was worth mentioning was that the [Letter Office] wasn't just working on building the intelligence networks; it also helped Chambord establish many hidden commerce routes. Even though these routes weren't that big yet, the perfect-tier magic gems that Fei created from the Horadric Cube didn't need to be traded using the Holy Church or the Soros' Merchant Group. The [Letter Office] was able to execute this task, and all the wealth was passed back to the Chambord Kingdom.

At the same time, all kinds of advanced messaging devices and small teleportation arrays were created by the Mad Scientists' Laboratory, and they were put into use. Therefore, the [Letter Office] was more technologically advanced than its competitors, and it had the fastest, most accurate, and most reliable networks.

Without exaggeration, 60% of Chambord's strength lay within the [Letter Office].

In fact, even Fei didn't know exactly how terrifying the [Letter Office] would be if it exerted its full force, but he was sure that it wouldn't be hard to overthrow a level 1 empire like Zenit. Of course, it was contingent on Emperor Yassin being close to death, just like how he was acting right now.

Currently, the [Letter Office] was clearly divided into two divisions.

Modric whose nickname was [Young Man] was in charge of everything happening inside the Zenit Empire, and Zolasc whose nickname was [Old Man] was in charge of everything outside the Empire. This was why [Old Man] Zolasc couldn't come here to meet with Fei on Martial Saint Mountain today; he was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

"These are the important intelligence reports that Uncle Zolasc sent back using the small teleportation stations. Please have a look…" Modric took out a few thick stacks of paper from his storage ring, and he put them on the table in order.

"Eh." Fei nodded and started reading from the first stack.

Chapter 742: Darkness Enveloping the Land (Part Two)

Gradually, Fei's expression turned serious.

The Zenit Empire was to the north of the Continent, so the news that it got about the Continent were outdated. Not a lot of people knew that the Chaos Era already arrived about half a year ago.

The prophecies from the sages in the past were being realized.

It had been thousands of years since the Mythical Era, and the ignorant humans were going to release the devils who were sealed up. The darkness would envelop the Azeroth Continent, and the humans would fall into chaos and disorder. The terrifying and bloody wars were about to occur, and the dangerous enemies who once disappeared were going to show themselves again on the Continent. At the same time, the gods were going to reappear, and demons were going to arrive. The war between gods and demons was going to restart, and it would determine the fate of the Continent!

No one knew if this represented destruction or rebirth.

These intelligence reports clearly recorded the information that Zolasc spent a lot of time and effort on collecting, and they were about the activities of the giant empires far outside the territory of Zenit that were able to dictate the fate of the Continent.

Half a year ago, large scale wars suddenly broke out on this relatively peaceful continent. Eastern Region, Western Region, Northern Region, and Southern Region of the Continent all fell into chaos at the same time.

-Eastern Region of the Continent-

10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single

Nueey

The four giant empires in the region: Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea ended the peace treaty which lasted more than 100 years, and they declared war on each other. Also, more than 20 smaller empires on each side were pulled into the mess. The entire Eastern Region was turned into a hell. Blood formed many rivers, and many people were killed.

-Western Region of the Continent-

The two biggest empires in the Region, the level 9 Madrid Empire and the level 9 Barcelona Empire, also waged war against each other after more than 100 years of peace, destroying the power dynamic in the region. Then, the lower-leveled empires such as Valencia, Sevilla, and Malaga Empire took sides and started fighting as well. The Western Region wasn't better than the Eastern Region. There was no way back for the two level 9 empires. Cities were destroyed, people were massacred, and corpses were everywhere…

-Southern Region of the Continent-

This region wasn't much better. The only level 9 empire, Bayern, in the region was challenged by the lower-leveled empires such as Ormond, Leverkusen, Bremen, and Stuttgart. The alliance of the level 8 and level 7 empires challenged the dominating Bayern Empire, trying to overthrow it and put an end to its control of the region. Amongst the empires in the alliance, the Ormond Empire even reached out to the Northern Region, allying with the Leon Empire. This went to show that the wars were about to cover the entire continent.

-Northern Region of the Continent-

In comparison, the Northern Region that the Zenit Empire was in was relatively more peaceful, but wars were going on. The most dominating force in the area, the Leon Empire, suddenly changed. Perhaps its Emperor Blanco went mad, or other forces instigated it, the Leon Empire suddenly wanted to unite the Northern Region. The Ten-Empire United Troops attacking Zenit was only the beginning of the chaos.

On the entire continent, only the Central Region where the headquarters of the Holy Church was at was still peaceful on the surface.

Although the Holy Church had the plan of uniting the Continent and creating a huge empire where religion and imperialism become one, it was far from being realized.

Since the headquarters of the Holy Church was on the Waulu Mountain which was located on the Sicilia Island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, it acted as a deterrent to the giant empires around it, forcing the ambitious emperors to hold back their ambitions.

Even though this was the case, the two level 9 empires in the Central Region, Inter Milan and AC Milan, were already preparing everything, and the Juventus Empire which was a member of the [Holy Alliance] started their aggressive uprise after falling for more than 100 years.

Although wars hadn't been waged at the Central Region, the atmosphere was intense, and the forces were intertwined and complicated. It wasn't that much better off.

East, South, West, North, Central. The darkness was enveloping all five regions on the Continent.

The entire Continent was filled with death, blood, bones, and killing.

It was heard that even the undead mages who had disappeared and the influential people with malicious intents were active on the Continent, trying to go after their own interests by inflicting wars.

As if Pandora's Box were opened, many disasters were happening on the Continent that had been relatively peaceful for thousands of years.

Darkness started to envelop the land.

[TL Note: LOL, the author is going all out with these names]

Chapter 743: I'm Leaving (Part One)

After reading all the intelligence reports, Fei felt a bit anxious.

All five regions of the Continent fell into chaos. Clearly, there was more to it than there seemed to be.

Although the intelligence reports didn't say anything specific, and all the information on them were just simple facts, Fei felt like a mysterious and powerful dark force was pushing everything forward and stirring up wars on the Continent.

It was unbelievable! What kind of a force was able to instigate wars on this Continent that was so vast that even gods had a hard time going around?

Could it really be gods and demons who were behind all of this?

Fei slowly closed the last intelligence report that was on the table and fell into a moment of silence. It seemed like he was thinking about something that was complicated.

After more than ten minutes, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "There wouldn't be intact eggs left if the basket is broken. In order to protect Chambord and the Empire, just defeating the Leonians and the Ormondians aren't enough… It looks like I need to go out!"

"Go out… Your Majesty, you mean…"

"For a long time, we have only stayed in this region of the Continent, not knowing what is going on outside. If we stay like this and don't do anything until the flames of wars from the other regions spread here, it will be too late. I have a feeling that Chambord will face mighty and evil enemies. Before they come, I need to go out and check out the empires in all five regions, understanding their culture and strength. We can only stay invincible if we know what we are dealing with. Also, it is good for me to travel around and see the world. I can meet other legendary masters, make some new friends, and temper myself. That is the only way for me to reach another realm!"

Fei stood up and glanced at the Capital. He knew that if he continued to stay in this region and didn't check out the rest of the world, he was going to be left behind by this continent and this era. After all, a lot of things were happening.

The Zenit Empire was like a little pond; what kind of waves could there be? How big could fishes get in here?

Fei had been in this world for more than a year now, and his strength and Chambord's power had both increased drastically compared with a year ago, and it was about time for him to go out and check out this fascinating world.

Modric lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Then, please allow me to organize it for you, Your Majesty."

Fei shook his head and said, "No need. I'm just going to wander around the Continent, and there isn't any set route. Also, most of the [Letter Office]'s forces are underground, and almost no one knows about the connection between the [Letter Office] and Chambord. If you make plans, sensitive people might notice something; it will hinder the [Letter Office]'s future growth! If I do need the [Letter Office] for anything, I will contact the local managers."

"I got it. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will handle this." Modric thought about something and nodded.

"Eh, the atmosphere inside the Empire is quite strange, and a lot of undercurrents are at work. Although I stunned a lot of people yesterday, the ones who are ambitious will jump out and cause trouble after I leave. Therefore, you will have a lot of work to do. I won't keep you here any longer." Fei took out a storage ring that he prepared ahead of time and gave it to Modric.

He continued, "These are the things that I prepared for you. Take it and used the items effectively!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Modric took the storage ring and put it on his finger carefully.

The people who had been around the king for while all knew that the items that the king gifted were always unique and special. It didn't matter if it were items or secret scrolls; they were all mystical.

Although Modric hadn't been around Fei for a long time, he knew this clearly, and he was delighted to receive this gift from Fei.

Chapter 743: I'm Leaving (Part Two)

Then, Fei looked at the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] carefully, and he switched to the Paladin Mode. He activated his skills and sent a few streaks of golden energies into their bodies.

The [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] were surprised at first, but then they were overjoyed as elated expressions appeared on their faces. They sensed that the old hidden injuries which had been in their bodies for many years were all healed after those golden energies went through.

It was magical!

The power of Sun-Class Lords was profound.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The nine masters all kneeled and expressed their gratitude.

Fei smiled and said, "While working for the [Letter Office], you had to fight with a lot of masters and sustained these injuries. Since this is our first encounter, I don't have any gifts prepared for you as the big boss; healing these injuries for you is something within reason. After leaving the mountain, you can each get one godly herb from Modric; that will be the gifts from me to you guys!"

After that exchange, Modric bowed at Fei again before putting on the silver mask. Then, he and the [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] left reluctantly under the lead of a member of Martial Saint Mountain, disappearing into afar.

Fei looked at them and pondered.

The [Cold Blood Nine Eagles] were the ones whom Modric chose to bring up Martial Saint Mountain, so they were all loyal. Therefore, Fei didn't want to avoid them when he was talking about sensitive topics with Modric.

However, these people's strengths were much more powerful than Modric's. If their strengths increased more, their ambitions might grow as well. Therefore, Fei left spiritual seals on them silently when he was curing their injuries. If anything happened, Fei would be able to detect it even if he were hundreds of kilometers away.

He stood by the edge of the cliff for a long time, and the cold breeze that blew against his face made his mind very clear.

While looking through the intelligence reports that [Old Man] Zolasc collected, the idea of traveling around the Continent grew stronger and got more apparent in Fei's mind.

The [Letter Office]'s power was far from reaching deep into the five regions of the Continent, so the information that it collected was broad and not specific, only describing the rough trends.

The truth could only be discovered by Fei himself.

The golden skeleton that resided in [One Sword]'s body was something that had been troubling Fei for a few days now.

After it got away, Fei didn't know what trouble it would bring in the future.

Fei could clearly sense the strong hatred that the golden skeleton had toward him, and it seemed like that demon had a special intention toward Chambord. If Fei weren't wrong, it would become back to Chambord once it could find a new body to possess.

"What exactly is it? Could it be that the wars which are happening are related to it? In terms of time, it escaped from the Mythical Altar exactly about half a year ago, and that was when the Chaos Era arrived…"

Fei shook his head and suddenly punched out.

A golden dragon-like energy fist dashed into the sky and merged into this space; it didn't cause any significant changes.

However, if anyone above the realm of peak Moon-Class saw this, they would discover a crystal-like, transparent energy flame burning about 100 meters away from the cliff. It contained great power, and it didn't disperse into the air.

Fist Spiritual Spatial Seal!

Fei concealed a portion of his Sun-Class strength into this space, making it stay there for a long time. Therefore, if enemies attacked St. Petersburg, got into the Capital, and triggered these invisible seals, they would be instantly turned into dust by the insane amount of energy in the crystals.

After punching out once, Fei didn't stop.

He then punched out 21 times and sealed a vast amount of golden energy into the area around Martial Saint Mountain quietly.

Chapter 744: The Second [Worldstone] (Part One)

The terrifying Sun-Class strength was sealed around the Martial Saint Mountain under the king's insane spirit energy. The transparent crystal-like fist spiritual spatial seals were put into the space around here, and ordinary people couldn't sense these murderous and powerful seals; it was as if they weren't there. However, these seals protected the entire Martial Saint Mountain like many invisible and indestructible iron walls.

These 22 fist spiritual spatial seals could last more than 100 years before dispersing into the air.

From now on, the Martial Saint Mountain couldn't be conquered by tens of thousands of soldiers unless there were several Sun-Class Lords amongst them.

After all of this was done, Fei went back into the ancient wooden building, thought for a bit longer, and recorded several basic fist techniques from [Demon King's Sword] that were for Luffy to learn and study. Then, he drew a safety map of the Martial Saint Mountain so that people could walk around and avoid triggering his fist spiritual spatial seals.

After summoning Matri and telling him a bit more things, Fei left the Martial Saint Mountain quietly.

St. Petersburg was still busy, and the atmosphere in the Capital was intense.

The conscription was still on-going. More and more young men were recruited into the military, and they were receiving as much military knowledge as they could. The Empire was trying to make them get used to the military life and the real murderous battlefields.

Under the call of the Royal Family of Zenit, the noble families and big forces in the Empire all opened their wallets and donated a lot of money and resources to facilitate the war. The giant war machine started to rumble.

After Emperor Yassin established the Zenit Empire many years ago, he had used the rest and growth policy. Therefore, the empire got a lot of resources stacked up. Even though it was in war with several other level 1 empires, it didn't use its full strength. Once all its power was unleashed, it could temporarily compete with level 4 and level 5 empires! The jump in strength was unimaginable!

When Fei flew over St. Petersburg, he looked down at the Royal Palace of Zenit which was built beside mountains.

He was probably the only person in the Empire that knew a great ruler was hiding in these white buildings. Even if he left the Empire temporarily, this unparalleled genius warrior could control the situation, and the Empire wouldn't be in too great of a danger.

After a short while, Fei went back to Chambord.

Right now, the Chambord Kingdom was also preparing for war.

The west side of the defense wall that was destroyed by the Xuan'ge was being restored; half of it was already built.

The harbor on the Zuli River was being upgraded, and another Reverse Whale Battleship was put into use. It was named [Chambord], and it was transporting people across the Zuli River alongside [King Alexander].

Many envoy groups were camped on the south side of the river while the important figures went into Chambord City before the wedding. Now, most of them had left.

Only the envoy groups that were apart of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were captured by the bylaw enforcement officers. These people got their weapons stripped away, and they were used as temporary workers and participated in the renovation and construction project at Chambord.

Fei returned to Five Sword Sky Mountain, but he didn't see his two wives in the [Godly King Palace].

After asking the maids, he learned that Angela asked Elena to go to the back mountains with her, the three dragons, and Blacky; they were going there to train the supreme king-level Demon Beast Legion.

The intense atmosphere in Chambord City couldn't be hidden from the two queens. Therefore, they wanted to help their husband and alleviate some of the pressure; they weren't slacking.

After thinking for a bit, Fei decided to take the risk that he had been thinking for a while now before leaving Chambord.

Chapter 744: The Second [Worldstone] (Part Two)

He summoned Akara and Cain into the Sky Castle.

This wasn't the first time that these two mad scientists came to this legendary city, but they were still impressed by it. Every single structure and trace of magic engraving would fascinate these two.

Under Fei's urge, the three of them entered the mysterious space inside the central mountain using the unique teleportation ability of [The Throne of Chaos], appearing in front of the Mythical Altar.

"Are you sure about this?" Akara and Cain glanced at each other before asking Fei in all seriousness, "The injection of energy would probably make this huge city transform a little, but that is only based on our estimations. We aren't 100% sure! Perhaps what you will only waste a [Worldstone] this time!"

"My instinct tells me that it will not be that bad!" Fei smiled and walked onto the giant Mythical Altar.

When Fei purified the [Worldstone] that he obtained from Normal Mode Diablo World, his blood dripped all over the Mythical Altar.

After that, Fei felt like there was a unique connection between him and the Sky Castle.

Standing at the top of the Mythical Altar, the king felt like he was standing by a loved one.

Then, he slowly took out the [Worldstone] that he got from Nightmare Mode Diablo World.

It was a [Worldstone] that was stained by the evil hell energy, and it was the size of three fists. It was in an oval-shape, and eye-piercing red lights flashed on it, instantly turning the entire space inside the mountain red. Then, the thick, evil energy rushed out of it, making it look like the air in the space was thick blood.

Akara and Cain both got very serious.

They were the most experienced people in the [Rogue Encampment], and they were almost ancient beings. They had witnessed the legendary battles between Heaven and Hell, and they saw angels and demons fighting. They sensed this evil energy before, and they knew how terrifying it was. They had seen villages getting destroyed, land splitting open, corpses turning into zombies, heroes falling into demons, and skeletons climbing out of their tombs.

They were familiar with this energy, and they hated it.

After placing this stained Nightmare Mode [Worldstone] onto the top of the Mythical Altar, Fei lightly exhaled and closed his eyes, summoning that mysterious stone pillar inside his body.

Soon, Fei got a response.

The quiet and silent Mythical Altar started to shake. As if a mysterious energy that was sleeping suddenly woke up, that mysterious stone pillar which resided inside Fei's body listened to Fei's words for the first time and dashed out of his body. In the beginning, it was only the size of a forearm. However, it quickly grew into the thickness of a big tree and was more than 100 meters tall, standing on the top-level of the Mythical Altar and pressing against the ceiling of this space which was inside the mountain.

As if it sensed the evil energy, the Mythical Altar let out a series of roars.

Fei and the two mad scientists went back to [The Throne of Chaos].

In the next moment, the nine-leveled Mythical Altar started to move. Each level of the altar spun either to the left or to the right randomly at different speed and frequencies. It seemed like it was following some kind of profound patterns.

Then, silver godly runes flashed on each of the levels and slowly dashed out of the altar, making different patterns and images in the air. It seemed like it was calculating something or making some kinds of prophecies.

Fei had seen it once before, so he wasn't surprised.

However, Akara and Cain were both stunned by what they saw, and their bodies started to shiver uncontrollably.

As lights flashed in their eyes, they stared at the godly runes that were moving around and forming different images and texts.

It was clear that they discovered something.

Chapter 745: Purification Not Completed (Part One)

"These are ancient godly runewords. They are making… making…" Cain opened his mouth, but he was so excited that he couldn't even put a sentence together, and his goatee shook and swayed.

"It is writing out a control technique… This is… the technique that can control the Sky Castle? What else? No, this is too fast! I can't remember all this! We need to document it; quick!"

Akara instantly took out a giant piece of divvy crystal from her storage ring, put a strand of magic energy into it, and started to record all the godly runewords that were flashing in the air. However, she quickly gave up and sighed, "Godly runewords are way too profound, and they are hard to understand. Ordinary divvy crystals can't document all of this. It looks like we can only rely on our memories!"

The two mad scientists opened their eyes wide and observed the images, patterns, and texts that were flashing before them without even blinking.

Fei didn't say anything; he was only trying to memorize these runewords.

After getting [Learn], which was one of the three miraculous skills, he obtained photographic memory on top of getting more intelligence.

Although the godly runewords created a lot of images, patterns, and texts, and they were shot out of the moving nine-level Mythical Altar, Fei didn't try to understand them on the spot and only decided to memorize everything directly. Somehow, the vast amount of information was engraved into his mind precisely.

Akara and Cain were much inferior in this aspect.

They were both much older. Even though they studied magic and had a lot of stamina, they felt dizzy after staring at the moving runewords for a long time. They soon gave up on memorizing all this information and looked at Fei. They didn't dare to make a sound, afraid that it would disturb Fei and make him miss half a symbol.

This entire process lasted about two to three hours.

During this entire time, the nine levels of the Mythical Altar continued to move at different speed, rhythm, and frequency. The silver runes continued to dash out of the Mythical Altar as if they had lives of their own, and they floated in the air and combined into many ancient images, patterns, and texts in mysterious sequences.

This process seemed like a movie, and it was really quick.

The red, evil hell energy that filled the entire space inside the mountain was sucked into the spinning Mythical Altar as if it were water beside a dry sponge. As time passed by, the red energy that permeated the air quickly weakened and got lighter.

The [Worldstone] that was placed on the top of the altar was being purified at the same time. The red energy flames that enveloped the crystal slowly died down, revealing that dreamy and fascinating sky-blue color from the top corner.

Fei also noticed that while this process was happening, the size of the [Worldstone] was decreasing bit by bit. Although this change was minuscule, it was occurring, meaning that the operation of the Mythical Altar was consuming a vast amount of energy.

After one more hour, just as Fei felt dizzy as a ton of foreign and new information was jammed into his head, the rumbling noises that were sounding in this space quieted down. It was a great thing since Fei felt like his head was about to explode.

The spinning nine-level Mythical Altar slowed down, and the silver runes that were floating in the air also quickly flashed back into the Mythical Altar like birds returning to their nests.

At the same time, all the profound images, patterns, and texts also dispersed into the area, nowhere to be seen.

The inside of the mountain felt humid and heated.

The high heat was generated from the stone plates of the Mythical Altar grinding against each other, and it was making this closed area very hot.

Chapter 745: Purification Not Completed (Part Two)

That mysterious stone pillar which stood on top of the Mythical Altar had absorbed a lot of energy through this purification process, and changes took place on it.

Although its size didn't change much, a lot of its rough, stone-like surface fell off, revealing the smooth and reflective surface underneath.

The surface underneath looked like white jade, and there wasn't any patterns or images engraved on it. However, a warm light was coming off it, and there was a wave of spiritual fluctuations that only Fei could sense.

After the Mythical Altar stopped moving, a silver light flashed by, and that mysterious stone pillar quickly shrunk back to the size of a forearm and dashed into Fei's body. It looked like it went back to its old state and fell into a deep sleep.

"Huh? The [Worldstone] isn't completely purified. Only about one-tenth…"

A bit surprised by the mysterious stone pillar's behavior, Fei suddenly saw that the Nightmare Mode [Worldstone] which was placed at the top of the Mythical Altar wasn't completely purified. Only about one-tenth of it turned back to blue, and the rest nine-tenths were still bloody-red and filled with evil hell energy.

"This isn't strange. This [Worldstone] is a few hundred times bigger than the last one. The last one could be purified in one go, but it is hard to purify this one in one sitting. We have to repeat this process several times before it could be completely purified!"

Cain was like a living encyclopedia from Diablo World, and he quickly explained the reasons to Fei.

After some thoughts, he added, "However, the purified portion of the [Worldstone] could already be used. It is rare to see both pure and evil energies residing inside the same [Worldstone], and they aren't fighting each other. Perhaps a [Worldstone] that contains both energies is the most powerful and terrifying!"

"Eh, it looks like the Mythical Altar needs some rest before it can be used again. This is all that we can get this time…" Akara nodded as she pondered. Then, she suddenly recalled something and got excited. She shouted as she pulled on Fei's robe, "Quick! Write down all the godly runewords and the ancient texts that you memorized! Don't try to fool us! I know that your memory is excellent, and you have memorized all of it! Quick! Quick! Quick!"

"Yeah, you always run from us when we meet! You can't run this time! If you don't write down the information, we will, we will…" Cain also got very anxious. After a while, he thought of a great threat and laughed proudly, "We will stop working! Haha!"

Fei smiled when he saw their impatience, and he didn't refuse. After the three of them returned to the [Godly King Palace], Fei wrote down one percent of the information that he remembered, and that alone took about one hour while hundreds of pages were used.

After that, he put the brush away and said, "The images, patterns, and texts that those godly runewords created are just too much, and I can't write everything down in one sitting. Here are about 100 sheets of information, and they are enough for you two to study for several months. After you figure them all out, I will draw more for you!"

Akara and Cain knew that Fei was telling the truth, so they had to nod and agree.

The two of them grabbed all the papers and went back to their laboratory that was built in the mysterious stone room through a portal. They looked like two kids who got their hands on a big cake.

Right now, there was a delighted expression on Fei's face.

He discovered the Sky Castle's biggest secret just now!
