Chapter 1053 - True Sanctuary Powerhouse



Chapter 1053: True Sanctuary Powerhouse

However, after Rojet learned about the situation of the Breezy Plains and the distance between him and a real Sanctuary powerhouse, he finally realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.

Nonetheless, Rojet had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, after all, and thus was feeling rather proud of himself. Hence, he was displeased with the Tower of Dusk’s attitude.

Hearing Rojet’s words, Elvis laughed bitterly before helplessly saying, “You should have felt the powerful might of a Sanctuary powerhouse that came from the Sky Castle just now. That’s not what we beginners in the Sanctuary-realm can compare to. No wonder they don’t take us seriously. As for President Felic’s attitude, I bet he just holds a grudge against us for our attitude during the negotiation.”

Indeed, the team sent by the Gilded Kingdom had caused a lot of trouble to the various forces of the Breezy Plains, and Lin Li was the one who helped them resolve the issues. However, when the Gilded Kingdom said that they wanted to negotiate for peace, the forces of the Breezy Plains immediately changed their attitude, and thought of pitting the Gilded Kingdom against the Tower of Dusk so that they could reap some benefits. In the end, the forces ended up being frightened by every move of the Gilded Kingdom, while the Tower of Dusk remained completely unconcerned.

“He’s also developing his force in the Breezy Plains. If the Gilded Kingdom really starts a war, there won’t be benefit to them! Young people are still young after all. No matter how powerful he might be, his perspective of things still isn’t comprehensive enough,” Rojet said sourly, clearly green with envy and jealous of Lin Li for stepping into the Sanctuary realm so young and being even more competent than him.

“The Tower of Dusk is already invincible because they have the Sky Castle. They really don’t have to worry about any action taken by the Gilded Kingdom,” said Abrad, who was a Sanctuary powerhouse from the Caesar Family, and had stepped into the Sanctuary realm when his lifespan was nearing its end just like Rojet. The two of them used to be rivals in love, but after more than 1,000 years, their conflict was gradually resolved.

Although his tone was full of envy and jealousy too, Abrad was jealous of the Tower of Dusk for having the Sky Castle. If the Caesar Family also had a Sky Castle like theirs, they would have probably long ruled over the Breezy Plains, and established a powerful kingdom that could contend with the Felan Kingdom and Ledin Kingdom.

Hearing their bitter complaints, Elvis shook his head helplessly. Although the three of them were old, Rojet and Abrad were actually two generations older than Elvis. Hence, Elvis was in no place to criticize the two of them at this moment. He had no choice but to change the subject. “Although the Gilded Kingdom’s actions do not pose a threat to the Tower of Dusk, it’s not the same for us. We don’t have the Sky Castle. I think we’d better go back as soon as possible, and talk with the leaders of other forces to come up with some countermeasures for this matter.”

Elvis’s words pulled Rojet and Abrad back to reality as the two of them looked at the Tower of Dusk unanimously. After secretly sighing, they followed Elvis back to the headquarters of the Mithril Alliance helplessly.

On the Tower of Dusk’s side, Gavin returned to Lin Li’s side again after sending the three away. Gavin wasn’t too worried about the Gilded Kingdom. The Tower of Dusk was now helmed by a real Sanctuary powerhouse, while the mages under him were also becoming increasingly stronger. As long as the people of the Gilded Kingdom did not go crazy, they definitely wouldn’t provoke the Tower of Dusk casually.

However, the Gilded Kingdom did not show any respect to Elvis and the other two Sanctuary powerhouses at all, which really surprised Elvis. After all, pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses were still in the Sanctuary-realm. Although they could not compare to actual Sanctuary powerhouses, they were still far stronger than those who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm. The Gilded Kingdom’s base camp was far away, so what gave them the confidence to disregard them? Could it be because of the fleet just now?

“President, the three of them have already left. I can tell that they’ve been angered by the Gilded Kingdom. It’s surprising that they didn’t flare up immediately.” Gavin was not gloating, but rather was displeased with the two-faced factions.

Of course, if he looked at it from a different perspective, there was no reason for them not to do that. Who wouldn’t spare a thought for their own interests? In this world of survival of the fittest, especially in the chaotic Breezy Plains, anyone who still stood firm to those moral examples would definitely be defeated.

However, despite understanding their rationale, no one would be willing to be betrayed by others. This time, the Tower of Dusk was not betrayed, but the forces definitely didn’t have any good intentions for allowing the Gilded Kingdom to come over. Gavin was well aware of that.

“Of course they have to tolerate it. They might have entered the Sanctuary-realm, but they’re only a half-finished product when compared to real Sanctuary powerhouses,” Lin Li said calmly. In front of ordinary people, pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses were Sanctuary powerhouses, but to the genuine Sanctuary powerhouses, they were no different from insignificant nobodies.

Gavin originally wanted to nod and agree, but his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Lin Li in shock. “President, do you mean that they’ve met a real Sanctuary powerhouse? Is there really a true Sanctuary powerhouse in the Gilded Kingdom’s team this time?”

That was definitely a shocking piece of news. If the Gilded Kingdom had sent a true Sanctuary powerhouse, then what exactly was the purpose of their operation this time? Had they really lost their minds, and were thinking of attacking the Tower of Dusk?

“Why else do you think they’d come here?” Lin Li nodded a little, but there wasn’t any special expression on his face. Clearly, the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Gilded Kingdom did not make him feel threatened at all.

In fact, just before that fleet from the Gilded Kingdom entered the port, Lin Li had already detected the aura of the Sanctuary powerhouse that shrouded that fleet. The aura had nothing to do with magical waves, and was instead a type of influence on the World Laws. Only those who had truly stepped into the Sanctuary-realm could capture the special aura of the Sanctuary powerhouses from the changes in the World Laws.

Like Elvis and the other three pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, those who did not reach the Sanctuary-realm in terms of their mastery of the World Laws would not be able to sense the presence of a Sanctuary powerhouse through the changes in the World Laws. They still had to rely on their detection of magical waves to gauge the strength of others. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to the Gilded Kingdom to find trouble.

No matter what, there still weren’t any actions taken by the Tower of Dusk, and it was as if everything that happened in the Breezy Plains had nothing to do with them. In a few days’ time, the Mithril Alliance managed to gather the leaders of several forces, and they planned to form another large alliance to prevent the Gilded Kingdom from harming them.

In the past, the alliance of the forces of the Breezy Plains had managed to withstand the invasion of the Ledin Kingdom, and forced the Felan Kingdom to the point where they had completely no means to rule over the Breezy Plains. Although it was partly because of the power struggle between the two kingdoms, one could not deny that the power of these forces in the Breezy Plains also played a fairly important role.

Hence, whenever they were facing the pressure of powerful external forces, the first thing that the local forces thought would be to unite. For example, during the rise of the Tower of Dusk previously, the forces of Breezy Plains felt threatened, so there was a suppression carried out on the Tower of Dusk, which involved almost all the forces in the Breezy Plains. However, while the Tower of Dusk posed a threat to some forces, it also gave them a lot of benefits. The boycott failed only because of the Ashen Warlock’s words. Otherwise, even if the Tower of Dusk had not been destroyed, their speed of development would’ve definitely been greatly reduced.

This time, in the face of the threat of the Gilded Kingdom, the Tower of Dusk’s nonchalance left the Mithril Alliance and other forces with no choice but to rely on themselves. Hence, under the lead of the Mithril Alliance, the various forces naturally formed an alliance.

Of course, after forming the alliance, they did not immediately go to deal with the Gilded Kingdom. After all, they had yet to figure out the true intentions of the Gilded Kingdom. For the sake of protecting their interests, no one was willing to start a war lightly, unless it was their last resort. Hence, the first thing that the alliance did was to send a warning to the Gilded Kingdom in the name of the alliance, asking them to explain the purpose behind the arrival of their army, and to withdraw it from the Breezy Plains as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Unfortunately, the warning they sent had no effect at all, as the Gilded Kingdom did not send any reply. The Gilded Kingdom seemed to have completely ignored their existence as an alliance, and was still carrying out their unfathomable preparations in an orderly manner.

However, the forces did not dwell on it for long. Soon, the Gilded Kingdom took action again. The group, which was greatly feared by many forces of the Breezy Plains, did not show intentions of advancing inland towards the Breezy Plains. Instead, it traveled south along the coastline of the Breezy Plains after leaving Port Tim.

The movements of the Gilded Kingdom’s team were immediately reported to the forces of the Mithril Alliance and other factions. They naturally discussed and speculated about the true intentions of the team again. The forces whose influence was in the mainland were naturally secretly relieved at this moment as that at least showed that the Gilded Kingdom did not have the intention to develop inland for now.

However, there were still some forces that were in the south of the Breezy Plains—on the course of the Gilded Kingdom’s advancement. After hearing the news, those forces immediately tensed up. They wondered, Could it be that the Gilded Kingdom wants to occupy more port cities? Or are they coveting the minerals along the coastline for the convenience of transportation?

Now, the alliance seemed to have become divided soon after its establishment. The inland forces naturally felt that the matter had nothing to do with them, so they decided to continue being fence-sitters, and watch what the Gilded Kingdom was planning to do next. However, the factions in the south could not calm down at all. After all, in their opinion, they had already been directly threatened. Hence, they suggested that the alliance immediately exert pressure on the Gilded Kingdom.

In fact, a division was the scariest thing for an alliance with a dynamic like theirs. After all, there wasn’t anyone who could really hold down all the forces. If the Gilded Kingdom directly attacked with a large army, and made clear their intentions to encroach on the entire Breezy Plains, those forces would definitely see the Gilded Kingdom as the common enemy, and go all out to defend against the foreign enemy, just like when they had resisted the invasion of the Ledin Kingdom. However, once there was a conflict of internal interests, the effectiveness of the alliance would be limited.

Be it intentionally or not, the Gilded Kingdom’s actions had immediately split the alliance of the Breezy Plains, forming a clear divide between the coastal and inland forces. They kept arguing during the discussions, but the coastal forces were still the minority, after all. Despite the squabbles, they did not fall out.

Of course, while arguing, they were also keeping their eyes fixed on the terrifying army of the Gilded Kingdom along the sea. A large number of scouts were following the Gilded Kingdom’s group, and they would report to the leaders of the various forces of the alliance almost once every two or three hours.

In the meeting room of the alliance, a huge map of the Breezy Plains was hung up. Whenever there was a new report about the Gilded Kingdom’s actions, the leaders in the alliance would immediately identify the corresponding location on the map, hoping to determine the true agenda of the Gilded Kingdom through such a method.

When the coastal forces saw that the Gilded Kingdom’s team was getting closer and closer to their range of influence, they got even more nervous, but they did not clamor about returning immediately like the rest. Threatening to split up was just a strategy. If the Gilded Kingdom really took action on their forces, going back now would be akin to suicide! Although it was true that their forces which they had painstakingly built would likely be wiped out by the Gilded Kingdom, and that would bring about a huge heartache, it was better than dying.

Of course, that did not mean that they had really gotten over it. While waiting for the final verdict, they were still trying to convince the people around them in hopes that they could send teams to support their own forces. They even took out their precious treasures without hesitation, and promised to give the other forces a portion of their resources while constantly emphasizing about how ruthless, immoral, and greedy the Gilded Kingdom was.

In particular, Sadev the patriarch of the Cartia Family that lived on the coast of the Breezy Plains, and was second only to the Malfa Family in terms of strength was going all out at this moment. He even announced that he was willing to offer half of the family’s resources in exchange for the support of various forces, the reason being that the Cartia Family would be the first force to be attacked by the Gilded Kingdom according to the constant reports.
