Chapter 200: Chapter 198: Battle Throughout the Night

Owen Bertram’s mind flashed with thoughts, and then he decided not to think about it anymore. This was something he could not assist with. David and his crew were all from the Fifth Great Domain, while Abner Lane was at least in the Sixth Great Realm.

He didn’t have the power to participate in a fight at this level.

Owen silently returned to the inn, with his hands behind his back. Nathan Lane was already asleep. He decided to let him rest for the night, wishing him sweet dreams.

But... that seems unlikely, a big battle would soon break out in the city.

...

Prince Henry had changed his residence.

Not entirely because he noticed the Horizon Bureau was planning to take action against him, but his paranoia always made him suspicious. He had nineteen residences in total and only stayed in each of them for three days, except Henry Mansion.

Moreover, which residence to move to next was always decided at the last moment. So, only a few close confidants knew where Prince Henry was, even the queen was kept in the dark.

For some reason, Prince Henry felt restless that night, as if something was about to happen.

He called his commanding general, who immediately armed himself and carefully inspected the entire residence, inside and out. They found nothing unusual. Prince Henry felt a little relieved, thinking perhaps the impending rebellion was making him appear indecisive.

However, during the general’s inspection, a super powerful man from the Sixth Great Realm was seated outside the main gate of the house, watching everything indifferently. No one noticed his presence!

Abner Lane personally guarded Prince Henry.

He was waiting for his knights to take action. Once they had the evidence, they could strike immediately!

In the northwest of the city, there was a five-story building surrounded by a clustered residence area. Even if it was late at night, the place was still brightly lit.

Anyone who entered would be annoyed by the noise. This was the biggest gambling house in Darnell Manor. Since it opened, no one who caused trouble there ever ended well, it did not matter whether the person was a noble son from the capital or the direct disciple of a big Cultivation sect.

Almost everyone in Darnill Manor knew that Prince Henry owned this gambling house.

Although Prince Henry had a bad reputation, he had a good reputation when it came to gambling. As long as you didn’t cheat, you could leave alive, no matter how much money you won.

This boosted the business of the gambling house and became one of Prince Henry’s most significant sources of income.

David, like a night hawk, drifted over the rooftops and landed steadily at the back door of the gambling house. People in Darnell Manor knew that Prince Henry owned the place, but not many knew that, beneath the backyard of the gambling house housed a massive storage space created by six array formations, combined with twenty-eight stellar talismans.

It was the key place where Prince Henry stored Spirit Jade for rebellion: the Gustave Repository!

David’s hands were in front of him, as if holding something. A radiance formed between his hands, and a column made of jade appeared.

David shouted and forced the jade column into the ground. Each layer of the Array etched onto the jade column emerged one by one. A portal of radiance quickly formed at the top of the column!

The city’s protection Array of the Prefecture City reacted to this, sealing the entire city and firing three thick Thunder Lights from above the city walls to destroy the jade column.

But inside the jade column, a projection of a vermilion seal appeared: it was the seal from the Imperial Jade Seal of the Wood Dynasty!

All city arrays in the Wood Dynasty would become ineffective under this seal!

The three Thunder Lights vanished abruptly, and the city’s protection Array also flickered a few times before it went out.

Horizon Bureau’s strong army poured out from the portal formed by the radiance.

Prince Henry wouldn’t dare to tamper with the city’s protection Array until the real moment of the rebellion. The array of the city was remotely related to the capital. Dynasty ancestor’s rule: any unauthorized action on the Great Formation is considered a rebellion!

The people in the gambling house were aware of this, and hundreds of cultivators flew out. David gave a ferocious laugh, drew his battle knife, and charged forward. With one swing of his sword, he cut seven or eight cultivators in half in mid-air, blood splattering across the street.

The rest of the knights also set up their transfer portals, calling for a massive reinforcement, besieging their target locations.

Owen Bertram was not present here. If he were and saw these jade columns, his mouth would be watering just as much as his second brother’s.

Abner Lane came here with the determination to die. So he put all his last resources into it. However, these jade columns cost him half of the wealth he had been amassing over the years!

There were cries of battles throughout the city. According to Abner Lane’s "spiritual vision", Prince Henry was being held by a few eunuchs. Several loyal guards were hastily assembling array pillars, intending to activate the teleportation array and escape.

Two top-class powerful beings from the Sixth Great Realm arrived in a hurry to protect him.

Abner Lane sneered, but did not appear at this moment since he hadn’t obtained the evidence yet.

Deep inside the house, the teleportation array finally took form. Thirty thousand spirit jade pieces were used to supply spiritual energy, and a radiance emerged from the ground, forming a small doorway. Compared with the transfer portal of the jade column, it was too pitiful to look at.

Just as Prince Henry was about to enter, Abner Lane, who was outside the main door, moved his lips and muttered a reality-changing verse: "Forbidden!"

The array was still functioning, but the tiny transfer doorway suddenly shattered with a "pop", turning into a sandstorm of radiance in front of Prince Henry, scattering and drifting away.

Prince Henry’s face changed dramatically. The two figures from the Sixth Great Realm beside him enlarged rapidly, directly transforming into two giants. Four blazing lights shot out from their eyes, scanning the surroundings from mid-air, yet they still could not detect Abner Lane!

...

Nathan Lane was not in deep sleep after all.

With the appearance of the Commander of the Southern Prison, it was clear they were about to take action. Being a new cultivator, Nathan was looking forward to an epic battle between these powerhouses in a way he couldn’t articulate.

In the latter half of the night, the grand war began, and the city was filled with a colossal rumbling sound. Spiritual energy erupted all over the city, causing tremors in all directions.

Like a spirit monkey, Nathan sprang up from the bed when he heard the noise, and stealthily opened the window to look outside...But he looked puzzled for a long time, despite being in a high-rise hotel room from where he could see several battlefields. Nathan widened his eyes, but he could only glimpse the spiritual energy that filled the air, and a few fuzzy shadows blinking, but nothing specific.

What he could see clearly was only the battles on the outskirts of the battlefield. These were fights between ordinary cultivator-soldiers, or at best, between martial arts generals. What was the point of watching this?

This was far removed from the great battles between the Grandmasters that Nathan imagined.

"Can’t see it?" Suddenly, the voice of Jamal echoed from behind. Nathan turned his head in response: "Why?"

"Your level is too low." Owen Bertram said, "If it was just a few realms ahead, it wouldn’t be like this. They are out of your league by too much."

This can be compared to a novice just starting to learn martial arts, watching a contest between two high-level masters, feeling that they only seem to be using a few simple moves, no different from his daily practice.

Little does he know it’s because his level is too low, failing to grasp the ultimate martial principle of returning to purity and simplicity.

Jamal stood up and said: "Get some sleep, we will be busy tomorrow."
