Chapter 691 (2/2)
However, a figure flashed in Young Master Long’s eyes, “If Fang Xingjian was still around…”
“Don’t be foolish.” Young Master Lei smiled bitterly and said, “If he was a match for them, he would have taken action long ago. Moreover, Audrey said that he went to strive for the Nine-Tiered Heavens but has disappeared for an entire month. He probably lost himself in the Nine-Tiered Heavens and died.
“Moreover, even if he were to come, what has he got to fight Devin? What has he got to fight the Mage Association?
“Probably even His Majesty the King wouldn’t dare to fight the Mage Association.”
Thinking of this, both of them sighed heavily.
Just then, an exploding sound rang out in the sky. Young Master Ye, previously one of the Four Gentlemen, flew toward Devin’s spot in the sky.
Seeing Young Master Ye, a hint of fury appeared on the faces of both Young Master Long and Young Master Lei. However, they forcibly held it in, seemingly afraid that Devin, far in the sky, would find out.
Young Master Ye flew next to Devin and said with great respect, “Sir, over 80% of the Holy Light Clan’s treasure store has been excavated. 50% has been moved back to the Sun City.
“Jacob has also been escorted to the Sun City and is currently being taken into custody by Lord Shi Shou 1 .”
The Sun City was the closest city to the Northern Ice Region. Clearly, they had dug out most of the wealth belonging to the Holy Light Clan over the past few days and had moved them out.
Even the head of the Holy Light Clan, Jacob, who was a tier one Divine level expert, had been detained and taken there.
“With Senior Shi Shou keeping his eye on Jacob, there should be no problem. A Divine level expert like him is considered rare material.” Devin nodded slightly then asked, “What about Fang Xingjian? Haven’t we found him yet?”
Young Master Ye said carefully, “We still haven’t found Fang Xingjian. He either failed in striving for the Nine-Tiered Heavens or is fearful of your powers and escaped.”
Devin shook his head, “Before I came to the Empire, I had heard that Fang Xingjian was the strongest expert among those of the Empire’s younger generation and I wanted to spar with him. It’s a pity. By the looks of it, the path of the Knight is still a bit weaker when compared to black magic…”
Another fair-skinned Gold Robed Mage said, “Sir, the higher-ups are urging us to quickly head back. Many unfamiliar faces have appeared in the palace, but each of them have powerful abilities. Lord Mage King is asking us to go investigate.”
“The royal clan?” Devin said calmly, “Other than Alexander and the Abyss Lord, there aren’t any other significant characters in the royal family. If it isn’t because of Alexander’s outstanding talent, hmph, what right would the Krieg royal family have to work together with us?”
Next to them, Young Master Ye had maintained a submissive pose from the very beginning, bowing slightly and not daring to show any changes to his respectful expression.
Just then, over ten shadows cut across the air and flew toward the manor’s ruins.
Devin frowned slightly, “Who are they?”
Young Master Ye looked silently toward the group of people flying over. When he saw Fang Xingjian, who was in the lead, he stood stunned for a moment before saying, “It’s Fang Xingjian!”
Devin wore a slightly amused expression. He looked at Fang Xingjian and asked, “Oh? That guy is Fang Xingjian?”
Audrey and Xingxing`er, who were behind Fang Xingjian, had eyes filled with anxiety. Seeing Devin’s gaze turning into their direction, they shivered, a small amount of horror in their gazes. During this period of time, they had fully witnessed Devin’s brutality.
If it was not for the Holy Light Clan’s head, Jacob, having put his life on the line, they would not have been able to escape. However, they had not expected that not only did Fang Xingjian pay no heed to their objections, he had even brought them over. Thinking of this, there was blame in their eyes as they looked at Fang Xingjian.
Even Audrey sighed slightly, not wishing to go up against the Mage Association.
