Fang Xingjian did not look at him. Instead, he looked at Audrey and asked, "Is there a problem with what he said?"
Audrey and the others shook their heads as they looked at Fang Xingjian agitatedly, sweeping away the dejection they had felt over the past few days. Looking at the middle-aged man whom Fang Xingjian had captured, all of them revealed delighted expressions.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Fang Xingjian threw a glance at the middle-aged Mage. The latter was instantly slashed into pieces by countless streams of sword intents, then regenerated, slashed into pieces again, then regenerated again, and slashed into pieces again.
After three consecutive times, the middle-aged Mage let out an agonizing cry and finally could no longer be regenerated. He died completely.
Fang Xingjian's gaze turned toward the Holy Light Clan's base and said calmly, "Let's go back to the Holy Light Clan."
Just then, Young Master Meng, who had been severely injured earlier, had been regenerated. Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, he immediately advised, "Wait a minute. That Gold Robed Mage by the name of Devin is probably still in the valley. It's too risky for us to head over there directly."
"That's right." Xingxing`er also said, "Xingjian, your sword arts are top-notch and your abilities are unrivalled, but that Devin is also very powerful. Moreover, black magic has always been more powerful than our Knight arts. It's too dangerous to head over recklessly like this. It's better to look for a few more helpers and make some preparations before..."
The few of them wanted to advise Fang Xingjian. After all, they had all witnessed how powerful both Devin and Fang Xingjian were. Although Fang Xingjian's battle prowess in suppressing the seven great clans single-handedly was extremely powerful, it was still a little lacking when compared to the black magic that Devin had displayed when he had defeated Jacob.
Therefore, in their opinion, the safest method was to look for a few helpers. As an expert from the Second Prince's faction, and it was said that Fang Xingjian was on good terms with the Myriad Stars Palace and Prince Philip, it should not be difficult for him to look for one or two Divine level experts to help him.
However, hearing this, Fang Xingjian shook his head. "Long-winded."
As he spoke, he raised both of his hands, and the group of people were all locked down by his sword intents. Everyone soared up into the sky in that instant, propelled by Fang Xingjian's sword intents, flying toward where the Holy Light Clan was located.
Right now, in the Holy Light Clan, countless people were bustling about on the ruins of the manor. They kept on digging through the ruins, moving all sorts of treasures, jewels, gemstones, heavenly and earthly treasures, and all sorts of medicinal herbs for cultivation. Carriages after carriages of wealth belonging to the Holy Light Clan were being moved out.
The wealth that the Holy Light Clan had accumulated over several centuries could be said to be comparable to that of a country. Right now, it was being transported out by the many carts, forming many long lines. It was as if ants were moving houses.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the manor ruins, over a hundred warriors from the seven great clans were impaled on wooden sticks. The wooden sticks pierced through their tailbones all the way to their torsos, protruding out of their mouths. They were then impaled into the ground like human skewers.
These warriors had all resisted the golden-robed Mages and were tortured to death.
Looking at the corpses on the wooden stakes, the group of warriors who were digging the ruins and transporting the wealth all revealed expressions of fear and despair.
Young Master Long, who had been in high spirits, was flipping the crushed rocks on the ground to search for the Holy Light Clan's treasures while throwing a careful glance toward the sky.
In the sky above the manor, a short man with a height of about 1.5 meters stood in void space. He wore a golden robe, and there would occasionally be streams of golden electricity swimming around in his eyes.
Behind him stood two other middle-aged golden-robed Mages. One of them had black skin while the other had fair skin. Although they were both taller than this short man, neither of them dared to stand taller than him.
Young Master Long clenched his fists. It was that short man by the name of Devin who had descended on the mountains a few days ago, defeated Jacob with a single move, suppressed the seven great clans, and killed several hundred warriors who had resisted. His ferocious prowess was overwhelming, and no one dared to go up against him.
Young Master Lei patted Young Master Long on the shoulder and said through information currents, "Don't look anymore. Be careful of him getting angry again."
Young Master Long said, feeling indignant, "To think that our seven great clans, who have dominated the Empire for over 100 years, would end up in such a state."
Young Master Lei shook his head, "Black magic is too powerful. In this world, probably only the Holy See of Truth will be able to go up against the Mage Association."
A figure appeared in Young Master Long's eyes. "If Fang Xingjian was still around..."
"Don't be silly," Young Master Lei said with a bitter smile, "If he were a match for us, he would have made his move long ago. "Moreover, Audrey said that he went to strive for the Nine-Tiered Heavens but disappeared for an entire month. He's probably lost in the Nine-Tiered Heavens and died. "Moreover, even if he were to come over, what right does he have to fight against Devin? What right does he have to wage war against the Mage Association? Even His Majesty wouldn't dare to wage war against the Mage Association. "
Thinking of this, the two of them let out a heavy sigh.
Just then, a piercing sound rang out, and Young Master Ye, who was also one of the Four Gentlemen, flew toward Devin in the sky.
Seeing Young Master Ye in the sky, both Young Master Long and Young Master Lei revealed a hint of fury on their faces. However, they forcefully held it in, as if afraid of being discovered by Devin in the sky.
Young Master Ye leaped to Devin's side and said respectfully, "Sir, over 80% of the Holy Light Clan's treasures have been excavated, and 50% of them have been transported back to Sun City. "That Jacob has also been escorted to Sun City and is being detained by Lord Shi Shou."
Sun City was the city closest to this place in the Northern Ice Region. Clearly, they had dug out most of the Holy Light Clan's wealth and transported it out over the past few days.
Even the Holy Light Clan's head, who was at tier one of the Divine level, had been detained.
"With Senior Shi Shou looking after Jacob, there won't be any problems. A Divine level expert like him can be considered a rare material." Devin nodded calmly and continued to ask, "Where's Fang Xingjian? Haven't you found him yet? "
Young Master Ye said cautiously, "That Fang Xingjian hasn't been found yet. He's probably either failed in his attempt to attain the Nine-Tiered Heavens, or he's afraid of Sir's strength and has escaped."
Devin shook his head. "Before I came to the Empire, I've heard that Fang Xingjian is the strongest expert amongst the younger generation in the Empire. I had wanted to spar with him. "It's a pity. It seems that the path of Knights is still a little lacking compared to black magic..."
Another pale-faced Gold Robed Mage said, "Sir, the higher-ups are urging us to return quickly. During this period of time, many unfamiliar faces have appeared in the palace, but all of them possess powerful abilities. Lord Mage King wants us to head over to investigate."
"The royal family?" Devin said calmly, "Other than Alexander and the Abyss Lord, there aren't many other characters in the royal family. "If it wasn't for Alexander's outstanding talent, hmph, what right would the Krieg royal family have to work together with us?"
Young Master Ye maintained his bowing posture, not daring to show the slightest change in the respectful expression on his face.
Just then, over ten light shadows cut across the sky, flying toward the manor's ruins.
Devin frowned slightly. "Who are they?"
Young Master Ye looked toward the group of people flying over, a little speechless. When he saw Fang Xingjian in the lead, he was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Fang Xingjian!"
Devin revealed an amused expression as he looked at Fang Xingjian, who was in the lead, and said, "Oh? That guy is Fang Xingjian? "
Behind Fang Xingjian, Audrey and Xingxing`er's eyes were filled with anxiety. When they saw Devin's gaze sweeping toward them, their bodies trembled, and hints of terror appeared in their eyes. During this period of time, they had witnessed Devin's brutality.
If it wasn't because the head of the Holy Light Clan, Jacob, had risked his life to stop them, they wouldn't have been able to escape. However, they had not expected that Fang Xingjian would ignore their objections and bring them back. At the thought of this, their gazes toward Fang Xingjian were filled with a hint of resentment.
Even Audrey sighed slightly, not wishing to go against the Mage Association.
