"No matter how talented you are and how powerful your fighting ability is, what will happen? Didn't you fall into the hands of my Ashenvale family?"

"This is the way this world is. The strong eat the weak. I, the Ashenvale family, am one of the five great families of Holy Land, and we decide your life or death!"

"See you in hell!"

Alissa grinned fiercely, two rows of white teeth shining brightly through blood.

Seeing this, Rain rushed out and seized the opportunity, forming a seal with his palms.

"The inheritance technique, the Heart Sutra of the Goddess!"

She forced the inheritance technique through her body, causing her aura to explode instantly, but the backlash of energy made her spit blood violently.

"Leave it to me!"

Lana whispered into Rain's ear and vanished like a phantom.

When she appeared again, she was swiftly by Ethan's side.

Ethan had been ready to draw the Chaos Bell and unleash devastation on the Ashenvale family, but an unexpected vision halted him.

Before him appeared a beautiful purple silhouette.

It was someone he had never expected—Lana, manager of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion!

An exquisite purple short sword materialized in Lana's hand, emanating a constant purple aura.

Its form was delicate, like a masterful work of art.

An immortal spiritual weapon!

Lana raised her arm and swung the purple blade.

The crisp sound of metal echoed sharply.

Dang!

North, advancing with his golden sword, was forced to retreat, suspending mid-air with an ugly expression.

"A group of Mahayana Realm experts at the peak of eighth and ninth turn conspiring to bully a junior who just reached the peak of the Dharma Body Realm."

"Do you, Ashenvale family, still have any face left to show?"

Lana's voice cut like icy steel, challenging North silently.

Half of Alissa's charred body had fallen to the ground.

She never imagined the Myriad Treasure Pavilion—always neutral—would intervene to protect Ethan and block the ninth Elder's strike.

Her face twitched with unwillingness.

"Ninth Elder, avenge me and Cain... Revenge!"

Alissa stretched a trembling palm toward North, seemingly seeking one last contact with her brother.

Then, her body crumbled quickly like fragile paper turning to ash.

"Sister!"

North's eyes widened, pupils trembling with rage.

Murderous intent surged like roaring waves in a furious sea.

"You! You deposed my young master of the Ashenvale family and killed my sister. Do you think you can stop me?"

North's voice thundered, chilling the air.

"Haha, Ninth Elder, no need for such empty words."

"Before all eyes, does your young master's failure to fight to the death mean your Ashenvale family will start killing everyone?"

"As for Alissa, though she was a peak Eighth-turn Mahayana, her effort to take Ethan alive ended in defeat. What is there to say?"

Lana twirled the purple blade in her hand while teasing softly.

Her laughter was smooth, filled with quiet contempt.

After finishing, she examined her slender jade-like palms, admiring her neat nails.

Then she turned her gaze to Ethan.

"Ethan, do you think my nails look good?"

Her every word, movement, and glance radiated charm and seduction.

Ethan was rendered speechless.

The first time he met Lana, she was cold and elegant, her aura keeping strangers at bay.

Why was she suddenly so provocative now?

Though confused, Ethan gave a polite reply.

"Well, they're very beautiful."

"Manager Lana, watch out!"

Ethan snapped back to reality and shouted a warning.

Bang~!

Lana reacted instantly, swinging her blade fast.

The short sword's purple edge cut space itself, blocking the golden sword's brutal strike from North.

Lana raised her head; the playful smile vanished, replaced by sharp, glacial frost.

"North, I didn't attack you for the Holy Land's sake. Don't overestimate yourself!"

"Today, in this place, I, Lana, guarantee Ethan's fate!"

Her cold aura swept through the sky, the sword intent spreading like a slow-burning flame.

Lana's dress fluttered, long hair dancing with the wind.

The short sword in her hand spun gracefully.

The light reflected was like a purple full moon illuminating the night.

"This is the Skyreach Territory, and do you think that your Myriad Treasure Pavilion can do whatever it wants?"

North barked fiercely.

"Then do you believe it is the Ashenvale family who rules this land?"

Lana retorted defiantly, unafraid of North or his many powerful followers.

"Deputy City Lord Skyler, after watching this for so long, is it time for you to step in?"

Lana's gaze swept south.

"Noble Sun City has laws long respected. Are you truly going to open a back door for the Ashenvale family?"

"If this spreads, the city's reputation will suffer. Will any cultivator dare come to Noble Sun City again?"

Usually, battles were short and controlled in Noble Sun City.

Dueling was permitted but never prolonged.

Because enforcers from the Lord's Mansion would intervene swiftly to restore order.

But this time was different.

Noel Ashenvale and Alissa had fought Ethan and his companions for a long time, yet no force from the City Lord's Mansion had come forward.

It seemed the Lord's Mansion had tacitly allowed Ashenvale's actions.

Perhaps some unseen deal was in place.

When Lana called for Skyler, he felt uneasy and could no longer feign ignorance.

Though at half step Supreme Realm strength, Skyler feared Lana deeply.

Though Lana could defeat even cultivators at the peak ninth turn of Mahayana, her true might surpassed even Magnus.

What truly frightened Skyler was the Myriad Treasure Pavilion behind her.

The talker of Myriad Treasure Pavilion in Skyreach Territory was no ordinary figure.

He was a genuine Supreme Realm powerhouse.

The true authority of the Pavilion.

Skyler feared this power.

Yet the city lord of Noble Sun City was currently in retreat.

Once he broke through to Supreme Realm, he would no longer fear Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

Though the main pavilion was transcendent and mighty, this is only a branch, they don't dare to be overbearing.

"What is Manager Lana's business?"
