The Man’s Decree

Meanwhile, the Fox Queen, Catina, sat on her throne in the palace in the Imperial Fox City, her expression incredibly solemn.

Feenix and Cloud stood beside her with similar grim expressions.

“Fox Queen, the spirit ship is ready. We should leave promptly. Once the city falls, it will be impossible to escape.”

“Don’t worry. Once Mr. Chance returns, I’m confident he will definitely help you reclaim the Imperial Fox City,” Cloud persuaded Catina.

“Catina, stop being so stubborn. If Master returns to find you’ve died in battle, he’d surely be heartbroken. Didn’t you notice how much he likes you? When we’re together, he always spends more time in bed with you,” Feenix also persuaded Catina.

Catina’s eyes were brimming with tears, her lips tightly pressed together. Her reluctance was evident on her face.

She had painstakingly built up the kingdom, yet someone was seizing it from her. Just as Catina was hesitating, Winona, covered in wounds, rushed in.

“Fox Queen, the Foster family’s forces are about to storm in, we really should get going! While there’s life, there’s hope. Come and hide with me for now. One day, we will return!” Winona advised Catina.

Catina gazed at the injury-riddled Winona and finally nodded.

She didn’t want to witness the demise of Winona there, who had taken care of her all her life.

After Knox’s death, the Foster family realized their hope of collaborating with Imperial Fox City had been shattered. Consequently, they rallied a significant number of people to launch an attack on Imperial Fox City.

The Foster family had the Demon Seal Alliance supporting them. Additionally, there were rumors that Jared was in Imperial Fox City. Hence, many had set their sights on the city.

The fall of Imperial Fox City was imminent. When that time came, Catina would have no chance of escaping.

Catina, along with Feenix and the others, boarded the airship, swiftly departing from Imperial Fox City.

Since no one expected the Imperial Fox City would have an airship, so no one could stop it.

Catina gazed upon the ruins of Imperial Fox City, and the corpses of her citizens, her heart twisted with agony.

“Where are we heading now?” Cloud asked.

After all, Cloud wasn’t very familiar with the central region. He had only visited the Seizon family there.

“To Epea. Before I arrived at the Imperial Fox City, I was an Epean, so let’s take refuge at my place for now!” Winona said.

“Winona, you’re Epean? But you’ve never mentioned it before!” Catina exclaimed in surprise.

“I’ve been away from home for decades, so I didn’t want to bring it up!” Winona let out a bitter laugh.

Clearly, Winona had her reason for leaving her hometown, hence she never brought it up before.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Had it not been for their circumstances, Winona probably wouldn’t have mentioned it.

Back then, Winona’s exceptional medical skills were what got her to stay in Imperial Fox City.

Among the entire human race cultivators, alchemists were incredibly rare, not to mention among the beast race. The Imperial Fox City had taken Winona in for that exact reason.

“How are we supposed to alert Master? He’s still at the Violet Flame Sect. Won’t he be walking into a trap if he comes looking for us at the Imperial Fox City?” Phoenix asked.

“I can’t reach Mr. Chance through the communication device, so he’s probably in the midst of his training right now. I’ll try to contact him again once I get a chance,” Cloud informed.

The airship flew toward Epea, thankfully the Foster family didn’t pursue it.

At that moment, Jared sat atop the Divine Flame Mountain with his eyes closed, exhaling a heavy breath. He held the Divine Flame Seal in his hands, cradling it against his chest.

Buzz!

Waves of flame aura continuously permeated the air. A vast and boundless gust of pure aura circulated within the flame aura.

Six blazes of internal flames ceaselessly revolved around Jared.

Boom!

Suddenly, the world around him seemed to change color, the wind and clouds dramatically shifting.

The sudden turn of events had many from the Violet Flame Sect casting their eyes toward the direction of Divine Flame Mountain.

“Father, it’s been three days, do you think Jared is all right?” Juliet asked with concern upon noticing a sudden change in the Divine Flame Mountain.
