Chapter 2771: Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation
"Tide Holland!"
As the elegantly dressed, handsome young man stepped forward, Crue Dragonsmith’s expression instantly turned sour, and his eyes flashed with anger.
"Tide Holland?"
Although Crue Dragonsmith’s voice was not loud, many people still heard it.
In an instant, many people guessed the identity of this handsome youth in luxurious attire:
"Tide Holland... isn’t he the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation?"
"The Mystic Wave Immortal Nation, like the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, is a high-ranking Immortal Kingdom... And the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation, ’Tide Holland’, is widely regarded as the most likely candidate to become the next emperor of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation!"
"I just didn’t expect that the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation would stand up for the Sixth Prince of the Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom..."
"Perhaps it’s because the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation has some old grudge with the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation... Did you notice the angry look in the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation when he looked at the Ninth Prince from the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation?"
"It seems so."
...
As the onlookers murmured amongst themselves, the handsome youth in luxurious attire approached the Sixth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, ’Damon Stone’, and turned to confront Crue Dragonsmith.
The elderly man who had appeared earlier then stood respectfully behind him.
"Cousin."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Damon Stone greeted the handsome youth respectfully.
"Cousin?"
As soon as Damon Stone said this, many people around were surprised.
Because they did not expect that Damon Stone, the Sixth Prince of the Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom, had this relationship with the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation.
"Oh right... I almost forgot: Twenty years ago, one of the sisters of the Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom’s emperor married as a concubine to the emperor of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation."
"If that’s the case, calling the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation ’Cousin’ makes sense."
"Although it makes sense, they have no blood relation... so I don’t believe that the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation came specifically to help him today."
"I think so too."
...
As people continued to discuss, none of them believed that the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation, ’Tide Holland’, came specifically to stand up for Damon Stone. Instead, they all sensed the intense tension between Tide Holland and Crue Dragonsmith.
"Brother Barnes, he is Tide Holland, the Ninth Prince of the high-ranking Mystic Wave Immortal Nation... In the past, he oppressed me, relying on the protection of his follower, an Upper Immortal in the Heaven Realm."
Crue Dragonsmith’s timely words reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, not only informing Wyatt Barnes of Tide Holland’s identity but also highlighting the old grudge between him and Tide Holland.
"In that case, have Francis Bushell take action today to suppress that old man behind him... No matter what, those three from the Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom must die today!"
Wyatt Barnes conveyed to Crue Dragonsmith.
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent, which took Crue Dragonsmith by surprise as he happened to be watching him.
It was the first time Crue Dragonsmith had seen Wyatt Barnes with such a demeanor.
In the past, he always thought Wyatt Barnes had a gentle and approachable personality, but now he saw Wyatt Barnes’ violent side, deciding the fates of the three from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation with just a few words!
"Crue Dragonsmith, long time no see."
Tide Holland looked at Crue Dragonsmith, speaking with a mocking smile.
"Indeed, long time no see... Tide Holland, I advise you not to interfere in today’s matter, or you will be the one to regret it!"
Crue Dragonsmith casually glanced at Tide Holland, speaking slowly, with a deliberate warning by the end.
"Regret?"
Upon hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Tide Holland laughed, "Crue Dragonsmith, even though you have an Upper Immortal from the Heaven Realm to protect you now... if you want me to regret it, I’m afraid that’s not enough."
"You’ll know whether it’s enough soon!"
With a cold laugh, Crue Dragonsmith conveyed a message to Francis Bushell.
Francis Bushell took action immediately as his words fell.
Boom!!
Boom—boom—boom!!
...
Accompanied by several earth-shattering booms, the entire land seemed to tremble violently.
Francis Bushell’s legs shook the ground as his entire being launched forth, targeting Tide Holland.
Whoosh!
As Francis Bushell shot out, aiming at Tide Holland, the place where he previously stood instantly cracked open, eventually forming a massive spider web.
The web spread in all directions, expanding for several breaths before finally ceasing.
"You court death!"
Before Wyatt Barnes and others could react, the old man behind Tide Holland let out an angry roar at a timely moment.
The voice shattered the air, causing ripples in the void, and sound waves spread out in circles, making many nearby weaker cultivators’ faces change drastically.
Some had their eardrums burst, bleeding from their seven orifices.
However, since the sound waves weren’t aimed at the surrounding pedestrians, none fell, with the worst being bleeding from their seven orifices.
Whoa!!
Crash!!
...
Unlike the thunderous echoes when Francis Bushell struck, the elder behind Tide Holland moved like a powerful hurricane that could tear everything apart.
The hurricane swept forth, striking in the void as if huge stones were crashing onto a tranquil lake, causing the surface of the lake to be ripped apart, now seeming to tear the void itself open.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
In an instant, Francis Bushell had already clashed with the elder behind Tide Holland, causing such a commotion that the onlookers hurriedly retreated, some slower to react were even sent flying.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
With waves of shockwaves formed by the colliding forces sweeping out, fierce winds spread in all directions, causing the robes of those present to flutter with intensity.
Because the commotion here was significant, it naturally attracted many spectators.
"What’s happening?"
"Such a big scene, at least it’s a duel between Upper Immortals in the Realm of Earth, right?"
"Upper Immortals in the Realm of Earth? You’ve guessed wrong... The two who are dueling now are not Upper Immortals in the Realm of Earth, but Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven, and both are Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven."
"Two Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven?"
...
The crowd attracted to the scene were somewhat surprised upon learning that the duel involved two Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven.
Even though it was one of the three great ancient cities in the Desolate Territory, ’City of Grand Unity’, Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven were not common enough to see frequently on the streets. Thus, such a spectacle was rare even in the City of Grand Unity.
"These two Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven... who are they?"
Many were filled with curiosity.
As the informed shared their knowledge, those who came attracted by the commotion learned the identities of the two dueling:
An Upper Immortal in the Realm of Heaven from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation alongside the Thirteenth Prince, and an Upper Immortal in the Realm of Heaven from Mystic Wave Immortal Nation alongside the Ninth Prince...
"Crue Dragonsmith, it’s surprising that the Upper Immortal in the Realm of Heaven beside you is so strong, managing to withstand for such a long time under ’Elder Ryan’."
Tide Holland glanced at Crue Dragonsmith, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"The strength of your Elder Ryan is impressive too, managing to duel Francis Bushell for so long."
Facing Tide Holland’s provocation, Crue Dragonsmith made no concessions and counter-provoked.
"Leilany, eliminate those three from the Immortal Kingdom of Cloud Rock... and seize their Storage Rings while you’re at it."
Just as the two powerful Upper Immortals in the Realm of Heaven beside Tide Holland and Crue Dragonsmith were clashing, and the two men stared at each other in a rising confrontation.
Wyatt Barnes suddenly spoke:
"Leilany, kill those three from the Immortal Kingdom of Cloud Rock... then retrieve their Storage Rings."
Although Wyatt Barnes’ voice was not loud, it was heard by many, including the Ninth Prince of the Mystic Wave Immortal Nation, ’Tide Holland’, causing him to lose his focus for a moment.
"Alright."
Almost the instant Wyatt Barnes spoke, Leilany responded, and her figure rippled forth.
An aura rose in the void, making everyone present feel as if they suddenly found themselves in deep winter.
Initially, although Tide Holland heard what Wyatt Barnes said, he paid little heed.
But now.
"This isn’t good!"
As Leilany moved, waves of cold swept forth, causing Tide Holland to feel as though his body had solidified. His face changed dramatically, and he hastily activated the Immortal Origin within him to fend off the encroaching cold.
Having barely resisted the cold, he came to his senses only to find:
The three from the Immortal Kingdom of Cloud Rock, including the Sixth Prince ’Damon Stone’, had been turned into ice sculptures, with cracks beginning to appear on these sculptures.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
...
Accompanied by faint sounds, the three ice sculptures gradually shattered, eventually crumbling into pieces of ice and debris on the ground, and the three from the Immortal Kingdom of Cloud Rock were beyond lifeless.
Just as Tide Holland saw the three from the Immortal Kingdom of Cloud Rock being killed and his face transformed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In his ear, three sharp whistles sounded as three Storage Rings zipped past him.
Finally, they landed in the hands of the woman standing beside the young man in purple not far away.
The woman dressed in white, veiled with a gauzy hat, masking her face, gracefully extended her slender hand, collecting the Storage Rings originally belonging to the three from the Immortal Kingdom of Cloud Rock.
"Brother Wyatt."
Before everyone could process, Leilany handed the three Storage Rings to Wyatt Barnes again, her voice sweet and melodic, making it hard to associate her with the recent persona who resembled a grim reaper swiftly ending three lives.
"Alright."
Ignoring the shock-filled gazes around him, Wyatt Barnes accepted the three Storage Rings into his hand and promptly recognized them as their rightful owner.
"Indeed, they’re inside!"
Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes unexpectedly brightened.
