Chapter 416: Boss Battle (part1)

As the elders of the Ironwood Sect and the Emerald Serpent Clan turn to leave, Lady Meilin watches them with narrowed eyes. Once they are out of earshot, she turns to her fellow town lords, her voice laced with concern and skepticism. "Are you sure you're going to let them go just like that?" she asks, her tone measured but carrying an edge of doubt.

Tian, his face still showing signs of the battle's toll, gives her a steely look. "Of course not," he replies firmly. "After we are done here, we will take care of those two, and not just them—all the forces here and around our town."

Kuro, his massive hammer resting on his shoulder, nods in agreement. "We need to make them submit to our authority if we want to build a city. The resources in this space crack are more than enough for us to establish a powerful city."

Meilin's eyes spark with understanding. "So, the plan is still on. Stabilize the space crack, secure the resources, and then consolidate power."
