Chapter 1976
"Well..." Diarmi was at a loss for words.
"If the Divine Race comes looking for me, there's no need for any of you to hand me over. I'll take care of the matter on my own. I won't trouble the Sacred Empire."
Henry said once more.
"Uh... you've misunderstood us. My father has already betrothed Azusa to you. How would he possibly hand you over to the Divine Race?"
Seeing that Henry had completely seen through his tricks, Diarmi could only laugh weakly.
"Well, I do hope it was a misunderstanding."
Henry looked at Diarmi with a fiery gaze.
He did not like Gordie and Diarmi at all.
Azusa, on the other hand, was pure and kind, Henry could not bear to hurt her.
Therefore, even though he had seen through both Gordie and Diarmi's thoughts, he did not take their actions to heart.
His had his sights fixed on the Restricted Zones! On the following day, Henry and Diarmi led the top 100 fighters of the tournament out of the Sacred Empire and set out for the Restricted Zones.
Azusa held on to Henry's arm, reluctant to part with him. "How about I go with you to the Restricted Zone?"
"How could that possibly be allowed?"
Henry was speechless. "Although you are also in the Divine Cloud, your combat abilities are still too weak, you'll just be a burden if you come along." "Azusa, stop messing around!"
Diarmi quickly stopped her as well. "Whatever that lies in the Restricted Zones must be extremely dangerous. It's no joke!"
"But I really am worried about Henry!"
Azusa wiped her tears and said, "I always feel that he'd never come back once he's gone!"
"Nonsense! Why are you saying such pessimistic things before we've even left for the expedition?"
Diarmi was displeased.
"That's enough, say your final goodbyes!"
Henry let go of Azusa's hand helplessly and entered the Transmitting Formation with the others.
After a few rounds of teleportation, they arrived at the border of the Grand Xia Dynasty.
The Restricted Zone was located within a hidden mountain.
There was no Transmitting Formation set up there, so they all had to fly to get there.
"Stop right there!"
When they arrived at a valley, Diarmi lifted his hand to signal everyone to stop before making their descend.
"Great Prince, what's the matter?"
Everyone followed him and descended into the valley.
"I have made an appointment with Fabio Yun, the Third Prince of the Thundercloud, to meet here in this Broken Dragon Valley. Why haven't they arrived?"
Diarmi said warily as he looked around the valley.
In the quiet valley, killing intent seemed to be concealed within the mist and clouds within it, giving off an ominous vibe.
"Ha ha ha!"
A booming laughter erupted suddenly from the valley, "The men of the Thundercloud Empire knew that you would die here today, which is why they chose not to show up!"
"Who's there?"
The men from the Sacred Empire immediately flew up into the air.
Only to realise that there were already countless men standing in the air above the valley, blotting out the entire sky above the valley! A man in a golden helmet and golden suit of armour stepped out from the crowd.
It was the lord of the Grand Xia, Nahir! "Greetings, Lord Xia of the Grand Xia Dynasty!"
Diarmi his fist before his chest and said, "May I know what is the meaning of this?"
"The meaning of this?
Where is our sixth Prince?"
Nahir looked at the men behind Diarmi coldly, not seeing any sign of his son, Ludwig.
"My father sent someone to escort the Sixth Prince, he would be arriving here soon!"
Diarmi paused for a moment before adding, "Once we enter the Restricted Zones, you'll be able to meet your Sixth Prince!"
"Hmph! You've arrived in the territory of the Grand Xia Dynasty, yet you still dare to bargain with me?"
Nahir snorted. "Today, I'll capture you and have Gordie come forward to exchange our prince for his son!"
"What..." Diarmi was stunned. "Lord Xia, the Three Great Empires had already come to a consensus on that day that we would enter the Restricted Zones together to bring and end to the chaos! You capturing me today only clearly shows that you don't want us to enter the Restricted Zones!"
"Are you telling me... that you're not afraid that the Sacred Empire and the Thundercloud Empire will join forces to destroy the Grand Xia Dynasty?" "Destroy the Grand Xia Dynasty?
Ha ha ha!"
Nahir laughed out loud. "You're too ignorant. Do you really think that the Thundercloud Empire would side with you?
They just want to take advantage of you in order to reap the benefits!"
"And as for us of the Grand Xia, not only did we receive the support of a few large sects from Moda Hotel, we even joined forces with the Divine Race and the Holly Cross. I wonder, what chance do you have against them?"
"What?Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The Holly Cross?"
Diarmi was shocked.
He had guessed that the Grand Xia Dynasty might team up with the Divine Clan and the Moda Hotel, but he was not expecting the Holly ss to join forces with them!
Cross
Three men stepped out and
appeared beside Nahir, forming a
line before Diarmi.
The one on the far left was Master Moda.
His face was grim, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He looked at Henry as if he was wishing that he could tear him into pieces! On the right was a man with blond hair, blue eyes, a tall nose, and a deep gaze.
He was tall and was in a golden helmet and golden suit of armour, and was equipped with a slim sword. His eyes were filled with ferocity.
The one in the middle was an old man in a purple robe! His beard was parted into three locks and his expression was cold as stone. He stared coldly at Henry.
His imposing aura made everyone feel suffocated! "Whoa! It's the Divine Master of the Seven Level Divine Race, Xanthos Dantai!"
"Seeing that the one beside him can stand at the same level as Xanthos, he must be the leader of the Holly Cross, right?"
"What's the name of the leader of the Holly Cross?"
The crowd discussed among each other.
Diarmi broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
It was already difficult enough to deal with Nahirand Master Moda alone, now that they were together with the Divine Master of the Divine Race and that mysterious leader of the Holly Cross, it was likely that something bad was bound to happen on that day! "Divine Master Xanthos, about the issue regarding Buster... it was an accident..." Diarmi said, trembling with fear.
"Hand Henry Zhang over and I'll spare your life!"
Xanthos interrupted Diarmi.
In the past, he could still spare the Sacred Empire some dignity.
However, now that Buster Dantai had died in the Sacred Empire, he was giving Gordie enough face by sparing Diarmi's life! "Henry Zhang?"
Diarmi's face was blank. "You're talking about Henry, right?"
"Humph! Henry Zhang and Henry are the same person!"
Xanthos snorted coldly.
"What?
What... what's going on?"
Diarmi was shocked.
"Henry's original name is Henry Zhang. At the Hundred Gates Competition, he pretended to be the Old Demon Virpids. Afterwards, he escaped from our Grand Xia Dynasty and hid himself within the Hundred Changes Sect. He wiped out the Flying Scorpion Hall and the Five Poisons Sect, then killed the Elder of
the Holly Cross, Berky!"
Nahir said bitterly, "And now, he changed his appearance using the mask of the Hundred Changes Sect and sneaked into the Sacred Empire, then killed Mrs. Moda and Buster!"
"If it weren't for this commander of the Holly Cross, Sir Townlea, who used their crystal ball to discover Henry's identity, we would have been fooled by
him!"
"What!"
The crowd burst into an uproar and looked at Henry.
"This Henry Zhang comes from the ancient land!"
The Grand Commander of the Holly Cross, with golden hair and blue eyes, said.
"What?
"The ancient land?"
"He comes from the ancient land!"
"I've heard that it's a sealed space. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth seems to originate from that space!"
"I thought that the ancient land was just a legend, never have I imagined it to be true!"
The crowd burst into discussion once again.
"Henry killed the commander of the Holly Cross in the ancient land and destroyed the power our Holly Cross possessed in the ancient land!"
Townlea continued, "After he entered the Vast Thousand Worlds, I sent Elder Berky to kill him, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning. He escaped
the pursuit of Elder Berky several times, and in the end, he even killed Elder Berky!"
"Henry Zhang, quit pretending! I've already found out about your whereabouts clearly!"
"Well, well, well, looks like I have greatly underestimated the Holly Cross!"
Henry said with a lazy smile. Then he wiped off the mask on his face and revealed his original appearance.
