At this moment, within the Li Fire sect.

After seeing Lin Lei eave, the eight paG.o.da masters hurriedly ran over to Roderick's side and said,

“Milord, given Lin Lei's current status, how can we still allow the Master of the Ultimate Sword to continue to remain in the solitary confinement room!”

“Right. How about we just make Lin Lei the honorary elder of the Li Fire sect!”

“What honorary elder? As I see it, we should just make Lin Lei the new leader of our sect.”

“Indeed. Our Li Fire sect can just change its name. Perhaps in the future, we will be able to use Lin Lei's name to become an existence comparable to a Magus clan!”

The eight paG.o.da masters said excitedly.

After all, Lin Lei had come from their Li Fire sect!

But Roderick's heart had only been excited for a short while, before he immediately calmed down.

As the Master of the Ultimate Sword, how could Lin Lei have taken a fancy to the Li Fire sect?

If he really continued to pester Linley like this, it would only incur his dislike!

If that was the case, the losses the Li Fire sect would suffer would be too great.

Roderick knew exactly what Lin Lei was thinking.

When Lin Lei had been locked up in the isolation room, Roderick had specifically instructed his disciples to release Lin Lei.

But Lin Lei still wasn't willing to come out.

This meant that Lin Lei didn't want to interfere in any matters regarding the Li Fire sect at all.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the four great clans had joined forces to attack the Li Fire sect, perhaps Lin Lei wouldn't have appeared at all.

After having these thoughts in his mind, Roderick frowned and said.

“Silence!”

The incomparably noisy crowd was all startled by Roderick's angry roar.

And then, the Li Fire sect immediately fell silent. Everyone subconsciously looked at Roderick.

What was going on?

At this moment, no one in the Li Fire sect understood what Roderick was thinking at all.

Didn't the Li Fire sect produce a supreme expert like the Master of the Ultimate Sword Lin Lei?

Wasn't this a cause for celebration for the sect?

Why was Roderick still so solemn?

They didn't understand at all.

Roderick put his hands behind his back. He stared directly at the people of the Li Fire sect. A long time later, he slowly spoke.

“From today onwards, do as Lin Lei says.”

“No one is permitted to disturb Lin Lei in the isolation room. From today onwards, the isolation room of the li Fire sect will become a restricted area, and no tower lord or disciples will be permitted to enter!”

“Also, if anyone dares to use the name of the Master of the Ultimate Sword to intimidate others in the empire, disgracing the name of the Master of the Ultimate Sword, as the Master of the Li Fire sect, I will personally drive him out!”

“You all know how loathsome those n.o.ble Magus clans are. I don't want you to turn the Li Fire sect into such a disgrace!”

“Although Lin Lei came from our Li Fire sect, that is Linley's business. It has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?”

“No matter how powerful the Master of the Ultimate Sword is, you can't take credit for it. I'll allow you to feel proud of Lin Lei, but that doesn't mean that from today onwards, you will be able to stand above everyone else in the empire!”

“Do you understand what I'm saying?”

Roderick's voice was extremely solemn.

All of the disciples of the Li Fire sect suddenly came to their senses.

Right!

Did Lin Lei truly approve of the LI Fire sect?

Most likely, everyone would be able to guess this answer.

Perhaps Lin Lei truly did approve of the Li Fire sect, but that was only because he felt a sense of belonging to the White Tiger Tower.

James had already pa.s.sed away, and Alice had been in a coma for a long time.

Perhaps Lin Lei had chosen to stay in the Li Fire sect because he was used to staying in the isolation room.

Everyone pondered for a very, very long time.

After a while, everyone nodded in unison.

“Milord, we understand!”

Seeing this, Roderick couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.

The Li Fire sect. Within the isolation room.

Lin Lei slowly closed his eyes.

What Roderick said wasn't wrong at all. Right now, Lin Lei had no more reason to remain in the Li Fire sect.

Right now, he was only staying because he had gotten used to this place.

But of course, if there really were disciples of the Li Fire sect within the empire who'd use the name of the Master of the Ultimate Sword to do whatever they want, Lin Lei wouldn't mind leaving the sect directly.

Thinking that, Lin Lei shook his head.

An azure protective barrier appeared around Lin Lei's body, then immediately spread out, enveloping the entire isolation room.

At this very moment.

The Winter clan.

This was the most ancient clan within the Beilageluoya Empire.

In the empire, there was no clan that could compare to the Winter clan in power.

Unlike the four great clans, the Winter clan was extremely low-key.

Ever since three thousand years ago, they had virtually never appeared within the Beilageluoya Empire.

No one knew what this incomparably mysterious family was planning at this moment.

This Winter family that had existed in the empire for tens of thousands of years seemed to have vanished into thin air.

At the same time.

The Belageluoya Empire, the northernmost land.

In the sky.

A castle had shockingly appeared.

No one could have imagined that the Winter clan's base was actually within the clouds!

And in the depths of the Winter clan's castle, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, surrounded by specks of starlight, appeared by his side. It was incomparably strange.

The middle-aged man's eyes were as black as ink, and it was impossible to see his pupils.

“Herlos, how have the various empires of the saint-level recently been?”

The mysterious middle-aged man slowly asked the old man in front of him.

“Your grace, Princess Fiona of the Meersa.s.s Empire, who went missing in the Beilageluoya Empire, has returned to the empire three years ago.”

“It seems that she was a.s.sa.s.sinated by the Molmo Empire's spies. The king of the Meersa.s.s Empire seems to be in a rage, saying that he wants to start a war with them.”

“Right now, the entire holy region is in a state of unrest.”

Herlos slowly replied to the middle-aged man's words.

At this moment, only Duke Winter was worthy of being called a duke within the Winter clan.

This person was, shockingly, the Duke of Winter!

Duke Winter shook his head, then continued, “Let them hurry up and continue fighting.”

“Soon, the prehistoric ruins within the Beilageluoya Empire will be opened. By then, the various saint-level empires will definitely enter the Beilageluoya Empire.”

“By then, they will definitely start fighting. Since that's the case, let them fight as hard as possible.”
