Almost the entire Northern Ice Region was under the control of the Gold Robed Mages.
Audrey started to anxiously find out about the situation of her Pop Clan, as well as the Henry Clan, which had been suppressed by Fang Xingjian previously.
Previously, when the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon had descended upon the Northern Ice Region, the Undying Xia had wanted to snatch Audrey away. However, Fang Xingjian had killed Xia's clone on the spot and even subdued the head of the Henry Clan. His prowess had shaken the Northern Ice Region.
However, the arrival of the Gold Robed Mages had clearly changed the situation.
Just as Audrey was anxiously trying to find out about the current situation of her clan, the head of the Pop Clan, Audrey's father, Andolf, took a few steps forward and dashed over like a bolt of lightning. He rushed up to Audrey and said, "Audrey, thank goodness you're fine."
"Father." Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. However, her gaze suddenly turned toward another person. It was the head of the Henry Clan, who had set up a formation and used the corpses of the four ancestors to go up against Fang Xingjian. However, he had been easily suppressed.
He had even used the information regarding the formation to hand it over to Fang Xingjian in exchange for his life.
Right now, the head of the Henry Clan appeared to be arrogant and high-spirited. There was no sign of the depression he had shown in the past.
Seeing Audrey's gaze, he smiled and said, "Audrey, it's good that you're fine. When we found out that you went to the seven great clans as a guest, your father and I were worried that something had happened to you. "Why? Didn't you meet Devin and the others?"
Audrey's gaze flickered. She did not reply to the head of the Henry Clan. Instead, she looked at her father and communicated with him through information currents, "Father, what's going on? Didn't the Gold Robed Mages come to the Northern Ice Region? Are you guys alright? "
Audrey's father smiled bitterly and replied through information currents, "The entire Northern Ice Region is now under the rule of the Gold Robed Mages. Even our Pop Clan has to act according to their wishes. "However, by the looks of things, although they're domineering, they haven't reached an unacceptable level. Based on their actions during this period of time, they're planning to develop in the Northern Ice Region for the long term."
When the head of the Henry Clan saw their actions, he understood that the two of them were communicating with each other. He waved his hand and interrupted their communication, saying, "Alright, Audrey. I know that you don't understand the current situation too well, but I can't do anything about it. Right now, Lord Shi Shou was holding down the fort in the Northern Ice Region. The entire Northern Ice Region — from the government, clans, factions, academies, to the gangs, trade associations, and financial groups — had all submitted to the Mages. As for the matters of the aristocratic families, I will be in charge of them for the time being. Audrey, you can look for me if you need anything. "
Audrey frowned slightly. Although she had expected this, she still could not help but ask, "Father, have you and the head of the Henry Clan joined the Gold Robed Mages?"
Audrey's father frowned slightly and did not reply. The head of the Henry Clan said, "The Mage Association has a legacy of ten million years and is a colossal existence that has dominated the world. Its background is unimaginably deep, and in history, only the Holy See of Truth can compete with it. The legacies, powers, and resources that the Mage Association holds are far from what the Empire can compare to. "Right now, the Empire's royal family has joined forces with the Mage Association. Based on the latest news that I've received, a few major factions in the Mage Association will be holding down the fort in the other seven regions, with the exception of the Central Region. From then on, their legacies will be passed down, and they will be completely integrated with the Empire."
"What?"
"So that's how it is?"
"Then wouldn't the Empire be split into eight?"
"So that's how it is. Then does that mean that our Northern Ice Region will be under the Gold Robed Mages' management in the future?"
The arrival of the head of the Henry Clan had already attracted the attention of many people in the surroundings. When these aristocrats, cultivators, and clan heads heard what Henry said, they immediately revealed great astonishment. Their wavering hearts all became firm.
"What?" Audrey listened to this scene in astonishment, as if she had not expected that the Mage Association would make such a great move.
Seeing the astonished expressions of the people in the surroundings, the corners of the Henry Clan's head's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of pride. He had received this news from Shi Shou one day ago. The reason he was saying this was to show off his status in the eyes of the Gold Robed Mages.
A short and plump wealthy merchant said worriedly, "Will the Krieg royal family be willing to do this? They won't break out into a fight, right? "
"That's right. What if a war breaks out?" another clan head from a wealthy clan said.
However, the head of the Henry Clan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they won't break out into a fight. "Putting aside the fact that Lord Shi Shou is already a tier three Divine level Mage, the Lord Gold Mage King has already attained a breakthrough to tier five of the Divine level and is strong enough to dominate the world. "Moreover, the Green Mage King, the Red Mage King, and the Purple Mage King are all extremely powerful and are not much weaker than the Gold Mage King. "Moreover, the Mage Association's top person, the Black Mage King, will be watching over the world. Even if the Holy See of Truth were to come, we'll still be able to fight them."
Hearing the Henry Clan's head mention the many Mage Kings in the Mage Association, everyone present was on tenterhooks. However, at the thought of the power they contained, it was as if they had just taken a tranquilizer.
It was true that the world was getting increasingly chaotic. It would be best if they could have a big tree like the Gold Mage King to support them.
Henry smiled as he looked at everyone's reactions. He knew that he had gradually planted the seeds of the Mage Association's prestige. In the future, as the pressure from the Mages' prestige increased, he would be able to command these great clans as he pleased.
Just then, a white-haired elderly man walked out while holding onto a walking stick.
Seeing the elderly man's appearance, everyone present was astonished once again.
"Lord Governor?"
"Even the Governor is here?"
"It seems that even the government has acknowledged the Mage Association's status."
That white-haired elderly man holding onto a walking stick was the person who held the highest authority in the Northern Ice Region in name — the Northern Ice Region's Governor. He stood next to Henry and said calmly, "The Gold Mage King's reputation and abilities are both awe-inspiring. His Majesty has also issued a decree that the Gold Mage faction will forever rule over the Northern Ice Region. Everyone here is a reputable character in the Northern Ice Region. Please cooperate well."
Hearing the Northern Ice Region's Governor's words, everyone present was left speechless. To think that even King Alexander had acknowledged the status of the Gold Robed Mages.
The short and plump wealthy merchant said, "Sigh, it seems that the Mage Association's plans to take over the world is inevitable."
"That's right. The Northern Ice Region will probably belong to the Gold Robed Mages from now on." The person who spoke was the leader of a faction. His eyes were filled with resignation.
With the way things were, even the Governor and the head of the Henry Clan had completely surrendered to the Gold Robed Mages. What else could the small factions like them do?
However, Audrey's father noticed Audrey's indignant expression and said to her through information currents, "Audrey, don't be rash. The Gold Robed Mages ruling over the Northern Ice Region is already something that will happen naturally. It's an irresistible trend, and no one will be able to stop it."
Audrey shook her head. Her mind was still filled with the domineering scene of Fang Xingjian stomping on Devin and crushing the Gold Mage King's clone.
