Chapter 152 - The Third Prince (1/2)

”Brother Wolf King, I wonder why you insist on saving that itinerant cultivator? Although his strength can be considered as good, it's not that much either.” Elyon inquired while glancing at Cale. He was truly curious about what Cale discovered on Wenren Wushuang.

The man might be one of the strongest itinerant cultivators, but he was not the strongest either. There were even some who had reached the initial stage of the Immortal-Class level.

Cale smiled at the crown prince and carelessly said.

”He has good potential.”

Of course, Cale knew that it was not just good. According to Asteria, Wenren Wushuang was a very rare sword talent. He was even able to comprehend sword intent in Shura which can only be considered as one of the lesser worlds in the vast multiverse.

Even in the Divine Realm where peak experts were abundant, only a few rare geniuses were able to comprehend sword intent. So for Wenren Wushuang to comprehend it in a lesser world was almost heaven-defying.

Even Cale was yet to comprehend it, but he was not worried since he can just buy it in 'The Black Market'.

Cale did not want to explain Wenren Wushuang's extraordinariness to the crown prince. It would be much better for him to not know his talent.

The crown prince shrugged helplessly and just led Cale towards the banquet hall. From time to time, he also can't help but sneak a peek at Aurora's peerless figure.

'Sigh! Brother Wolf King's luck in love truly makes me jealous.'

The banquet hall was in a joyous mood and many nobles also sent their regards towards the crown prince for the emperor's successful recovery. Elyon accepted their words with a smiling face, but he was inwardly cursing their cowardliness.

'When my Celestial Sword Empire needed your strength, where were you bunch of trashes?!'

The banquet was merely a facade that the emperor planned. Behind the scenes, the top experts of the imperial palace were investigating the homes of these nobles to search for any clues that would tie them towards the second prince.

With this, the emperor would be able to know who were the traitors and who were loyal to the empire.

”Brother Wolf King, excuse me for a moment. Duke Shutra Ignius and his people are here.” Elyon smiled at Cale and cupped his fists.

Cale similarly cupped his fists and nodded his head with a smile. He has heard of Duke Shutra's name from Princess Michelle long ago and he also wanted to see the strongest duke of the empire.

”Can I go with you, your highness? I also want to get acquainted with the Celestial Sword Empire's strongest duke.”

Elyon was a bit surprised at Cale's request, but he still agreed.

”Of course, brother Wolf King. Let's go.”

This was the Celestial Sword Empire's strongest duke, Shutra Ignius.

Behind him were three elders from the Ignius Family who were also emitting an aura which was only slightly weaker than him. All three of them were actually at the mid stage of the Immortal-Class level! The three elders were also present during the war with the traitors a few days ago.

Beside Duke Shutra was his daughter, Seira Ignius, the princess of the Ignius Family. She was also the fourth-strongest Adamantine-Rank mercenary in the Mercenary Guild.

”Duke Shutra, pardon my late arrival. Please don't take offense.” Elyon smiled and greeted the Ignius Family.

”Haha! No problem! No problem at all, your highness.” Duke Shutra smiled wholeheartedly. The elders also smiled warmly at the crown prince, while Seira curtsied elegantly.

”Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Duke Shutra. You even brought Young Miss Seira here. Oh! By the way, this is brother Wolf King. He was the one who cured father of his illness.” The crown prince smiled and introduced Cale to them. Although he trusted the Ignius Family, he didn't want to divulge any information about his father being poisoned yet. It's much better to keep it as a secret until it was proven that the one who did it was the deceased second prince, Titus Doomblade.

Duke Shutra glanced at the masked man behind the crown prince and studied him from head to foot. He was stunned since he was actually unable to discern the other party's strength.

'Interesting!'

He then glanced at that dainty figure behind the man and his eyes almost went wide like saucers.

'This young lady... What the hell? Late stage Immortal-Class level?! Her aura even appears to be much stronger than mine. This...'
