Could Lord Caesar emerge victorious against the Dragon?
Thinking about how they could no longer contact Winston Castle, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.
The convoy gradually approached Winston Castle.
From afar, they could see the firelight in the sky.
At that moment, many people exclaimed in surprise.
They slowed down their cars.
When they reached the vicinity, the convoy stopped, and the warlocks got off their cars. They were baffled as they looked in front of them.
‘This is strange! Why is there no movement?
‘Could it be that… the battle had ended? Did Lord Caesar win?’
They gathered together and discussed for a while. Then, they drew out their wooden staves and formed a tight formation as they walked toward the manor’s front gate.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
They grew more and more uneasy. If Lord Caesar had won, why was there no sound?
Could it be that he had lost?
This thought flashed through their minds, causing their hearts to tremble. However, they quickly shook off the thought.
They did not dare to think of that possibility.
After walking past the twisted iron door, they walked into the manor. On the ground, there were charred corpses and blazing flames everywhere.
Not a single person was left alive!
Not far away, the ancient castle had already collapsed in ruins and was engulfed by a sea of flames.
They were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them.
“Oh my god! How could this be?” Someone clutched his head and cried out in surprise.
“What’s the situation? Report in!”
The anxious voice of the commander came through the earpiece.
“Dead… Dead… they’re all dead!” Someone answered with a blank look on his face. “There’s not a single living person here!”
As he spoke, he walked toward the ruins of the ancient castle in a daze.
His eyes focused on a figure, and he shouted, “Look, someone’s there!”
Instantly, everyone raised their heads and looked in that direction.
There was indeed a person on the ruins, and it was a woman.
She stood there, wearing a white dress. Her blonde hair was fluttering in the wind.
Something was shining in front of her chest.
“That… That’s… Oh my god! That’s Goddess Thea! Why is she here?”
“Wait, that’s the Witch’s Heart! Isn’t it with Lord Caesar? Why does she have it?”
Everyone was extremely shocked.
A terrifying thought appeared in their hearts.
‘Could it be that… she killed Lord Caesar and took back the Witch’s Heart?’
That was a heinous crime!
“Look, there’s another person there!” Someone with a keen eye saw a man sitting in the shadows. He was wearing a black suit, but his face was blurry.
“That’s the Dragon!” They exclaimed and retreated in fear.
In the base, everyone was stunned.
‘The Dragon? And Lady Thea?
‘Why are the two together?
‘Could it be that Lady Shia had betrayed Merrica and colluded with the Dragon of Huaxia just to reclaim the Witch’s Heart?
‘That was treason!’
“Boo hoo! My Goddess Thea, how did you become like that?” The commander almost burst into tears.
Then, he was stunned. His expression changed drastically as if he suddenly thought of something.
If Thea had reclaimed the Witch’s Heart, it meant that she was once again the Divine Eagle, and if the Dragon was with her, did that mean they were facing two Level S cultivators?
Oh my god!
What a terrifying combination!
Just thinking about it made his scalp go numb.
That was no longer a Level S threat. Strictly speaking, that was a Level SS threat.
“Quick, quick! Get them to f*cking retreat. Otherwise, your deaths will be in vain!”
The commander hurriedly shouted, “Also, raise the threat level!”
In the command center, everyone was stunned. They turned around and looked at him.
Level SS! That was an unprecedented threat level!
“What are you looking at! Hurry up and order them!” The commander roared, “Also, get me the Minister of Defense.”
“This is HQ. Everyone, pay attention. The threat level has changed…”
The warlocks sighed in relief when they heard the voice from the earpiece. The threat level had been changed, so things were safer now.
The warlocks that were driving slowed down their cars by a lot.
However, what they heard through the earpiece next stunned them.
“The threat level has changed… from Level S to Level SS!”
This announcement was like a thunderclap.
The warlocks lost their grip on the steering wheel and they crashed together.
“That can’t be! Is there even that threat level?”
“Stop joking!”
The warlocks were in an uproar.
They continued to receive orders from their earpieces.
“Everyone, return to base immediately. Pursuing the threat is prohibited.”
All over Merrica, the warlocks were baffled.
They stopped and looked in the direction of N City. They were extremely curious about what was happening there. It was an unprecedented Level SS threat.
White Mountain was not far from N City. When they received the news, the warlocks were already flying over Winston Castle on their griffins. They saw the two people among the ruins.
They were first shocked, then furious.
“Thea, you traitor!”
“White Mountain raised and trained you, but you turned out to be an ungrateful wretch! Is that how you repay us?”
The elderly warlock scolded harshly.
“That’s right, you shameless woman!”
“Ungrateful wretch!”
The warlocks behind him cursed.
Thea lifted her head, looked at them, and sneered, “Traitor? Nonsense! Didn’t you force me to do this?
“It’s one thing to deprive me of my Witch’s Heart, but all of you helped Caesar to imprison me and treat me as a plaything. What a nice plan!”
“Nonsense! There’s no such thing!”
Several elderly warlocks fervently denied it.
“Is that so? Do you elders dare to swear in front of everyone?” Thea sneered.
“I… there’s no need to. If I say there’s no such thing, then there’s no such thing. On the other hand, you colluded with Huaxia, killed Caesar, and stole the Witch’s Heart. Do you admit to this crime?” An elderly warlock shouted sternly.
“I admit to all that. So what?”
Thea smirked. Her face was full of ridicule. “What can you do to me? Not only do I want to kill Caesar, but I also want to kill all of you. Anyone who betrays me must die!”
As she spoke, she stamped her feet and soared into the sky.
Tang Hao also moved into action. With a wave of his hand, countless jade talismans shot out, enveloping the group of griffins in the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames and lightning exploded. The griffins cried out in pain and fell to the ground, bringing the warlocks with them.
Chapter 643 - Back To Huaxia
“Elder Luke, you’re the first one to declare your support for Winston, right?”
Thea walked toward an elderly warlock with white hair.
The warlock got on his feet. He was knocked down by Thea, and his body was charred black.
“So what if I am? You’re nothing but a disgrace to Merrica. What qualifications do you have to be the Divine Eagle? I was right! Look at you now, colluding with Huaxia and killing your own people. You… are a heinous criminal.”
Thea’s gaze turned cold. She slapped him and sent him flying.
“Don’t be too cocky, you b*tch. Do you think you are invincible after taking back the Witch’s Heart? Do you think no one can stop you?”
Luke got up from the ground with a ferocious expression.
“Let me tell you, the Grand Elder of the previous generation isn’t dead yet! Just now, someone went back and awakened him! Once he gets here, you’re dead.
“And you, you won’t escape either!” Those words were directed at Tang Hao.
Before Tang Hao could make a move, Thea had already slapped him again.
“How dare you hit me, you filthy b*tch? Kill me if you have the guts!” Luke roared crazily.
Thea was impassive. She took a step forward, and a golden short sword appeared in her right hand.
Thwock! The sword pierced into his throat.
His entire body trembled. His eyes widened as he looked at her in disbelief.
His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but he could not make a sound except for the gurgling of blood.
“Those who betrayed me, those who harmed me, must die!” She said coldly.
She pulled out her sword, and blood spurted out.
Luke whimpered and fell face-down.
The other warlocks were scared out of their wits. They got up and wanted to run away.
Tang Hao chased them down and threw them in front of Thea.
“Elder Orlando, you’re the second one, right?”
Shia said as she walked in front of an elderly warlock. With a wave of her hand, a golden light flashed, and his throat was slashed open.
“And you too, Elder Boole, weren’t you dancing happily in the Council?”
Slash! Another throat was slit.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The warlocks fell one by one. The air was thick with the smell of blood.
The other warlocks stood rooted to the ground, their faces pale from fear. Those who felt guilty felt their legs go weak, and they trembled violently.
Those who were involved felt extremely fortunate.
At that time, many people had piled on Thea to gain Caesar’s favor, attacking her in the Council of Elders. If she wanted to get even, many people would die.
Eventually, Thea became desensitized.
She did not bother saying anything and killed those people directly.
Three minutes later, several griffins appeared on the horizon.
On the back of the first one stood a figure in a white robe. He had white hair and a white beard, and though his face was aged, his jade-green eyes were shining brightly.
“Stop!”
He roared, and his voice was like a thunderclap that echoed in the night sky.
“It’s the previous Grand Elder!”
“Haha! He’s finally here! Prepare to die, you filthy b*tch!”
Many people jumped up in joy.
“You’re… that traitor?”
As the griffin hovered above Thea, the white-robed warlock glared at her and roared sternly.
His aura was like a raging tide bearing down on the earth.
Shia raised her head and looked at him coldly.
The gaze made him very unhappy.
‘Are brats nowadays so arrogant? Colluding with outsiders and killing their own, how unruly!’
“Today, I’ll do the clan a favor and eliminate you, you vile creature! And you too! You’re only half a Perfected Person, yet you’re causing trouble in Merrica. You’ll be eliminated too.”
He raised his right hand, pulled out a staff, and waved it. Icicles formed around him.
At the same time, a cold wave spread out, turning this place into an icy domain.
Thea showed no fear on her face. The gem in front of her chest lit up, and she flourished her qi aura. She was ready to fight.
” Do you think you’re a match for me, you brat? Your cultivation base is too low. So what if you have the Witch’s Heart?” The Grand Elder sneered disdainfully.
‘A mere child dares to fight the Grand Elder? What a joke!’
The warlocks around them also laughed.
“Oh! What if I had this?”
Thea raised her hand, revealing the ring.
The Grand Elder was stunned when he saw that. Then, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
‘Oh my god! Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
‘That’s the Supreme Ring, sealed in the Black Mountain Treasury. How could it be in her hands?
‘Moreover, didn’t they say that no one has been able to wield it for a long time?
‘How could this little girl do it? Is she a rare prodigy that shows up once every few hundred years?’
Glancing at the gem and then at the ring, the Grand Elder began to wail.
‘F*ck, with two major Artifacts, nothing can stand in this girl’s way!
‘No! I can’t kill such a talent! That’ll be too wasteful!
‘So what if she killed a few people? I heard that she used to be the Divine Eagle, and she’s only killing her own because they took her title away.
‘How ruthless! She’s perfect!’
However, the girl had indeed gone overboard, and he had to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, he would lose his dignity as a Grand Elder.
“So what if you have the Supreme Ring? That’s no big deal!”
He waved his hand and said disdainfully.
However, he was discreetly channeling his power into his staff.
“There’s still me!”
At that moment, Tang Hao spoke. He took out his mirror and showed it to the Grand Elder.
The mirror vibrated and suddenly lit up, emitting a mighty brilliance.
‘F*ck!’
The Grand Elder’s facial muscles twitched a few times, and he cursed under his breath.
‘What Artifact is that? What a terrifying aura!
‘This isn’t right! How much has the world changed while I slumbered? All these young people are freaks!’
“F*ck! I’m not fighting anymore! I give up!”
The Grand Elder dispersed his aura. The icicles that filled the sky gradually disappeared.
The surrounding warlocks were all dumbfounded.
“Hey! Little brat, put away that thing. I’m not fighting you anymore. There’s no point.”
He shouted at Tang Hao, then looked at Thea and a bright smile appeared on his face. “Not bad, little girl! Two major Artifacts! You have a bright future as the Divine Eagle! Just kill whoever dares to disobey you. I support you!”
Thea was also taken aback. Her petite mouth was slightly open, and her face was full of shock.
The other warlocks became anxious. “She’s a traitor, Grand Elder! She has killed many in the Council of Elders! Look, she’s in cahoots with that Huaxianese.”
“What did you say?”
The Great Magus dug his ears and pretended that he could not hear clearly.
“Sigh, I’m already old. My ears don’t work as well as they should!”
The surrounding warlocks popped a vein when they heard that.
At that moment, they understood that the previous Grand Elder was determined to protect her.
No one would dare to disobey him, given his elevated status.
Thea eventually came to her senses. She walked forward and slaughtered the few that she had not killed.
“You have a bright future!”
The Grand Elder stroked his white beard and praised her.
“Thank you, Grand Elder!”
Thea walked in front of the Grand Elder and thanked him.
“Ha, don’t mention it! Now tell me what happened.”
Thea told him everything.
“Outrageous! This is ridiculous! Let’s go. I’ll bring you back and uphold justice for you!” After saying that, he pulled her and rode the griffin.
She was surprised. She turned around and looked at Tang Hao.
“I won’t go with you,” Tang Hao said while shaking his head. “I’ll be going back!”
She opened her mout
h as if she wanted to say something, but before she could say it, the griffin flapped its wings and flew into the night sky.
The other warlocks looked at each other, then looked at Tang Hao. They were so scared that their bodies trembled, and they hurriedly left.
Soon, everyone was gone.
Tang Hao stood there and let out a sigh of relief. “It’s time for me to leave too!” He muttered.
With the support of the previous Grand Elder, Thea’s incident could be resolved perfectly. His involvement was unnecessary.
Hearing the roar of the approaching fighter planes in the distance, he quickly left the scene. An hour later, he boarded the plane and flew back to Huaxia.
Chapter 644 - Endorsement Deal
Early in the morning.
Tang Hao carried his backpack and walked out of his apartment. When he came downstairs, he subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the stairway.
In the past, a familiar figure would be standing there waiting for him. When she saw him, she would greet him sweetly, “Good morning!”
Then, they would squeeze on the bus and go to class together.
Today, there was no one there.
He stood on the spot, feeling a little confused. After a long time, he shook his head and walked forward.
He arrived in Huaxia last night. When he landed, he called her and confirmed that everything was well. Only then did he feel relieved.
‘If she’s the Divine Eagle once more, she won’t be returning here again, right?’ Tang Hao thought.
He took the bus and arrived at the university.
“Hey! Isn’t that Tang Hao! That’s strange! Where’s that foreign girl?”
Many people were curious when they saw Tang Hao alone.
“Brother Hao, where’s Eve?”
Cao Fei and the others were also puzzled when they saw Tang Hao in the classroom.
“She left!” Tang Hao said.
“What? Where did she go?” Cao Fei was surprised.
“She went back to wherever she came from. She might not come back anymore!” Tang Hao said.
Cao Fei and the others were stunned for a long time. Then, they sighed.
“Too bad! She was a sight for sore eyes!”
Tang Hao browsed the Internet on his phone while in class. He scrolled through Tieba and Weibo, then went on the various chat groups and gave out red packets, which earned him waves of adulation.
