Chapter 695: Current TrendTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Almost the entire Northern Ice Region was now under the control of the Gold Robed Mages.

At the beginning, Audrey anxiously sought to get information about the situation of the Pop Clan, which she belonged to, and the Henry Clan, which was the Northern Ice Region’s greatest clan that had already been suppressed by Fang Xingjian.

Previously, the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon descended upon the Northern Ice Region, and the Undying Xia had wanted to snatch Audrey. However, Fang Xingjian had shaken up the entire Northern Ice Region, killing Xia’s clone right on the spot and then getting the head of the Henry Clan to succumb to him.

However, the arrival of the Gold Robed Mages had clearly changed the situation.

Just as Audrey was anxiously finding out the situation of her clan, Andolf, the Pop Clan’s head and Audrey’s father, took a few steps forward. He rushed over like a bolt of lightning, appearing before Audrey and saying, “Audrey, thank goodness that you’re fine.”

“Father.” Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. However, her gaze turned, and she saw another person standing at the side. It was the Henry Clan’s head, who had previously used four corpses of their ancestors to set up a formation to deal with Fang Xingjian but had later been easily suppressed.

Earlier on, he had given the information about the formation to Fang Xingjian in exchange for his own life.

However, right now, the Henry Clan’s head appeared arrogant, domineering, and in high spirits. There was none of the dejection he felt previously.

Seeing Audrey’s gaze, he smiled and said, “Audrey, it’s great that you’re alright. Earlier on, when we found out that you went to visit 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 slightly, but she did not reply the Henry Clan’s head. Instead, she looked at her father and communicated with him using information currents. “Father, what is going on? Haven’t the Gold Robed Mages come to the Northern Ice Region? Are you guys alright?”

Audrey’s father smiled bitterly and replied using information currents, “The entire Northern Ice Region is under the rule of the Gold Robed Mages. Even our Pop Clan has to listen to their commands.

“However, by the looks of things, although they are domineering in their ways, they aren’t unacceptable yet. Based on their recent actions, it seems that they wish to develop in the Northern Ice Region in the long term.”

When the Henry Clan’s head looked at the two of them, he knew that they were communicating through information currents. He waved his hand and broke off their communication while saying, “Alright. Audrey, I know that you don’t really understand the current situation yet.

“Right now, Lord Shi Shou is the one domineering over the Northern Ice Region. The entire Northern Ice Region, the government, the great clans, factions, and academies, as well as the triads, trade associations, and financial groups, have all yielded to the Mages.

“The matters concerning all the great clans are currently under my management. Audrey, if you have any issues, you can just come to me.”

Audrey frowned slightly. Although she had expected this to happen, she still could not help but ask, “Father, both you and Henry Clan’s head have both gone over to join the Gold Robed Mages?”

Audrey’s father frowned slightly and did not reply. However, the Henry Clan’s head replied, “The Mage Association is a great association that has a legacy of over ten million years, domineering over the world. Their great accumulation of power is beyond one’s imagination, and in the course of history, only the Church of Universal Truth can compete with them. The legacies, power, and resources they have far surpass what the Empire possesses.

“And right now, the Empire’s royal family have joined forces with the Mage Association. Based on my latest news, the several large factions chosen by the Mage Association will be taking charge of the seven great regions, with the exception of the Central Region. From now onward, the passing down of their legacies will be completely merged as one with that of the Empire’s.”

“What?”

“So this is how it is?”

“Then wouldn’t the Empire be split up into eight?”

“So that’s how it is. Does this mean that our Northern Ice Region will be managed by the Gold Robed Mages in the future?”
