One week later.

At this moment, in region 11 of the Bela Gloria Empire.

In a towering steeple within the Rosette family's wide courtyard.

At the top of the steeple, in a room, there was a round table.

At this moment, Duke Rosette, whose face was full of wrinkles, was already seated at the round table. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he had already fallen asleep.

He was waiting for someone, a distinguished guest of the Rosette family!

Time quickly pa.s.sed, and the guard in charge of the Rosette family's entrance hurriedly shouted.

“Rosette family, the Duke Rosette has arrived!”

“Peony family, the Duke Peony has arrived!”

The guard had just finished speaking when two figures directly rushed towards the top of the steeple.

One of them was an old lady. At this moment, the old lady's figure was stooped, and she was completely relying on a strange magic staff to support her body. Only then was she able to slowly advance.

After entering the room, she immediately sat at the corner of the round table.

The one from the Peony family was a dignified middle-aged man. He was over two meters tall and was wearing an incomparably gentlemanly tuxedo.

However, on the middle-aged man's face that was cut by the knife, there were three silver lines. It was unknown if they were tattoos or some special totem.

There were two long knives on the back of the middle-aged man.

The two long knives were engraved with peonies.

“Welcome, both of you.”

Duke Rosette slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile.

“Rosette, it's indeed been a long time since we gathered together.”

The two of them also nodded, which was a response to Duke Rosette.

“Where's Sunflower? Why hasn't he come yet?”

The stooped old woman, Duke Rose, slowly said, “Sunflower is in closed-door cultivation. He will soon break through to the fourth stage of the Sage realm.”

“I'm here on behalf of him, too.”

Duke Rosette could not help but raise his eyebrows and said, “Sunflower is about to enter the middle stage of the Sage realm. It's really something to celebrate!”

“However, our sage has been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. He probably broke through to become a middle-rank sage. How long will it take?”

The stooped old woman replied, “It will only take a year.”

“A year? That's not too long.”

Duke Rosette said slowly.

“In that case, let's discuss first.”

“I have invited the two of you to come to our Rosette family this time, and I believe that the two of you are clear about the reason, right?”

“It's the famous Master of Ultimate Sword who is currently in the Empire.”

The old woman and the middle-aged man nodded without any expression of surprise.

“This master of ultimate sword has killed the younger generation of our four great families. I'm afraid he doesn't know that our four great families are as close as one family. This time, he took the initiative to offend our four great families. Naturally, we want to regain our face.”

The middle-aged man said indifferently.

“That's right. Although this master of ultimate sword definitely needs to be killed, we must calculate everything in detail. As long as he makes a move, it will definitely be a lightning strike that will kill him. We absolutely can not let him escape.”

The old woman slowly said, “Rosette, you are the only one among us who has fought with Master of Ultimate Sword. Come and judge. What is the strength of Master of Ultimate Sword?”

Duke Rosette frowned slightly and said after thinking for a while.

“This kid's talent is indeed not bad. Although he has just entered the sage realm, his strength is much stronger than the average sage rank one.”

“According to my speculation, it is very likely that his true strength is around the sage rank two to rank three now. Moreover, this master of the ultimate sword is very young. I'm afraid that there is still a lot of room for growth in the future.”

Although Duke Rosette was praising him now, his eyes were flickering with thick killing intent.

He had just entered the sage realm and already possessed strength comparable to the sage's second and third rank. If he was allowed to grow, it was likely that he would pose a great threat to the current situation in the empire.

Rosette and Peony looked at each other, and they saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Although Duke Rosette had the strength of a sage at rank six, Rose and Peony were only at rank three.

“Oh yes, Rose, have you heard the news?”

Rose said slowly.

“Just a few days ago, the Begonia's people went to Li Fire Sect to look for the master of the ultimate sword to form an alliance.”

Rose raised her eyebrows and nodded. “I heard that the alliance failed. Even one of their revered elders, whose strength had already reached half-step sage, was killed by this kid.”

“The Begonia family is just a weak clown trying to impress others.”

Duke Rose's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.

“Do you think it's possible?”

“In fact, the Begonia family has already successfully formed an alliance with the master of the ultimate sword in secret.”

“Just to lower our vigilance, they deliberately put on a good show for us?”

Before Duke Rose could finish, he was interrupted by Duke Peony.

“I have studied this master of the ultimate sword.”

“Based on his past experiences, I can judge that he is an extremely conceited person. I'm afraid that the master of the ultimate sword doesn't even bother to form an alliance with those trash from the Begonia family.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed Marlina Hoover knowing that he was from our magic family.”

The Peony Duke was about to say something when the Duke Rosette shook his head.

“It doesn't matter. In front of absolute power, an ant wouldn't be able to resist.”

“Even if they form an alliance, in our eyes, they're just a bunch of ants.”

“If they really form an alliance, a small Begonia family would at most slaughter their entire family.”

Duke Rosette continued.

“This time, killing the Master of ultimate sword was the initiative of my Rosette family. Therefore, I will take the lead and naturally have to put in more effort.”

“When the time comes, not only will I personally partic.i.p.ate in the battle, but I will also use our Rosette family's Rosette Knight's Kiss to increase our chances of success in killing the Master of Ultimate Sword.”

“If any accidents happen during the operation, my elder brother, who is hiding in the dark, will personally make a move and guarantee that we will definitely kill the Master of Ultimate Sword.”

“In short, I can a.s.sure everyone that this operation to kill the Master of Ultimate Sword is absolutely foolproof.”

The Duke of Rosette said very calmly.

When the two heard this, their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.

They did not expect that Duke Rosette would actually put in so much effort to kill the Master of Ultimate Sword!
