Chapter 433

Arthur, Lucy, and Jace's group appeared near the entrance of the Secret Realm . Not many cultivators were present, some were mourning the loss of their friends and others were anxiously waiting for their comrades' return .

While cupping his fists and smiling, Jace said:

"We will be heading back to our sect . You're welcome to join us . "

Although Arthur was a bit curious about a sect that only has body cultivators, it isn't the time to go there as they have more important matters . The couple cupped their fists to express their gratitude and refused the invitation . Jace didn't seem too bothered, he glanced at the closing portal then said

"My sect is called The Blood Bull Sect and it's in the Blood High-Realm . You can come whenever you want . "

With that said, the group of five left the area, leaving the couple alone .

'The Blood High-Realm is ranked 8 amongst all the High Realms and it's the territory of vampires . Apart from special sects like Jace's, which relies on Body cultivators, there aren't many powers there . '-Claud

The Copy gave a short explanation to the oblivious Arthur, who only knew a few things about the High Realms .

Left alone, Arthur and Lucy decided to leave this area before more trouble arises . The butler still hasn't showed up and fighting him again is disadvantageous . In fact, beating that Overgod is close to impossible .

Previously, they went to great lengths just to push him away to the point of losing consciousness . There's also the matter with the Holy Dominion, which won't give up after losing so many God Monarchs and even an Overgod .

That old man who was killed by Arthur was truly an Overgod but one has to take into account the secret realm's restriction, which greatly limited the Cardinal's powers .

Losing a Cardinal is a great deal to the Holy Dominion, after all, they aren't as numerous as Deacons or Holy Knights .

This place radiated a pure and thick amount of Light Energy, the trees, rivers, and mountains were affected by it and remained alive for thousands of years . This planet was called the Holy Planet and it's the territory of the Holy Dominion, it's HQ, to be more precise .

Its size is a third of the Divine Planet but one of the strongest beings in the Cloud Sea Universe lives here . Currently, an injured woman just appeared at the center of the Holy Altar .

This altar is like a teleportation array used only in emergencies . The stationed knights were startled upon seeing the woman, they quickly started healing her .

A youngster in his twenties, who was peacefully training near the altar, reacted to the sudden fluctuation of energy so he went to check what's happening . This young man was one of the powers individuals of the Holy Dominion .

His task was to guard this altar until the Cardinal Zeves came back . Upon seeing the injured woman and no one else, he creased his brows and waited for one more minute but no one else showed up .

He belonged to the Holy Order and wasn't very pleased with the task he was given . The youth was a 9-Star God Monarch and is considered a genius yet he was treated like a mere soldier .

Just when he was about to go back to his peaceful spot, he caught the sense of a stranger . This invader wore a grey-robe and a green mask that had two holes for the eyes and an arching smile .

With just one glance, he recognized this person, it was none other than the Green Seat of Justice! At first, he thought he was the target but when the grey-robed assassin ignored him and walked up to the injured Deacon, he became a bit surprised .

For one of the nine seats to personally come here just to kill a Deacon, it was an overkill . The youth did nothing as Artid walked up to the surprised Holy Knights, who surrounded the woman, trying to protect her .

Unlike the youth, they didn't recognize the Green Seat so they recklessly attacked him only to immediately fall on the ground with twisted necks . Artid crouched next to the heavily breathing Deacon and examined her injured body before grinning under the mask .

He stretched his hand and held her neck, tightening his grip while watching her slowly suffocate .

"You've seen things you shouldn't have . "

Those were the last words the woman heard before she died from suffocation . Artid took the corpse with him and casually left without even glancing at the silent God Monarch not far away .

The youth didn't interfere due to many reasons, the main one being his hate for the Holy Echelon, which is composed of only self-centered and arrogant people . Anyway, he'll just report that he arrived too late .

'When ill luck begins, it does not come in sprinkles, but in showers . '

This is what happened to Arthur and Lucy ever since setting foot inside the Secret Realm . Only half a day after leaving the dragon's lair, they met with their worst enemies . A silver-haired woman and a scarred old man appeared before the couple .

Unlike his usual leisurely, the old man was cautious of the two so he bound them both, rendering them unable to move or use any skill . As she stared at her sister, Angelina said

"You have no choice but to come back with us . "

Lucy glared at her sister with dagger-like eyes, albeit being bound by the Overgod, a chilling coldness was emanating from her . If she was free, she would have jumped on Angelina and tore her apart .

"What part of 'I don't want to come' don't you understand? Are you retarded or what?"

Lucy uttered vulgar words while ignoring Angelina's expression, which was slowly turning uglier .

Even though she lived most of her life apart from her family, she doesn't have to behave like this and treat her big sister so cruelly, or so thought Angelina . If she knew Lucy's current thoughts, she would certainly freak out .

"Miss Eva, I'm tasked to bring you home . Please excuse my rude actions . "

As she heard his words, Lucy snorted and retorted

"I'm not Eva so don't call me that . Furthermore, I'm not going back even if it means dying!"

Seeing such strong refusal, Angelina was left with no choice but to use threats . She walked up to Arthur and pointed her finger at his forehead while saying

"It's not who'll lose her life but him . "

Angelina didn't seem to be bluffing as energy started condensing around her index, ready to strike Arthur's defenseless body . At first, Lucy remained headstrong but when the energy caused Arthur's forehead to bleed, she said

"Stop . "

Angelina stopped her advancing finger but didn't put it down .

"So you're willingly coming with us?"

"Yes . "

Only then did Angelina drop her hand but she was still suspicious, not of her sister but of Arthur, who remained silent and unresponsive . He had an expressionless face and didn't even bother stopping them from taking his wife, which is contrary to his usual behavior .

The old man met Arthur's gaze and said

"I sincerely apologize but some things are just not meant to be . "

He loosened the bind but didn't completely remove it, still feeling wary of Arthur and Lucy's combined attacks . Just from her expression, you could tell that Lucy was restless, sad, and unwilling to go .

"Would you give us some privacy? At least let us have a proper goodbye . "

Angelina was about to refuse only to be dragged by the old man . They didn't go far away, just a few dozen meters but they didn't try to eavesdrop .

"I guess this is the end, huh . "

Arthur caressed her soft cheek while smiling at her . She couldn't bear parting with him but it in this situation, there was nothing that could be done . After conversing with each other for a minute or two, they tightly hugged each other for one last time .

Arthur didn't bid farewell to the butler and the woman, he just flew far away without even looking back .

The old man breathed a sigh of relief after he confirmed that Arthur is gone for good this time . Without further ado, the trio started heading toward the Divine Planet

'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles . If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat . If you know neither of the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle . '

Neither the butler nor the woman did know how things will unfold . Trying to separate the inseparable is something not even Overgods can do . One must know when to trick his enemies and it's definitely when the enemy is certain of their victory . . . when they know you have no choice but to give up .

The White Specter Clan didn't know that with bringing the Matriarch's lost daughter, they also brought a calamity hiding inside of her . Arthur needs to know the enemy, their numbers, the structure of their clan, everything there's to know about it .

Fleeing from the Overgod is impossible, much less killing him, however, there's always a way out . He made perfect use of the Dark Cloud and possessed Lucy even before the old man arrived . Now, both the husband and the wife are heading toward the White Specter Clan .
