King’s Awakening - Chapter 464:
Chapter 464: Chapter 464: The Pinnacle Battle!
Capital City, the Peak of the Forbidden Palace!
The Peak of the Forbidden Palace, located at the core axis of the Capital City is an ancient royal garden building that is not only the largest but also the most luxurious in Dragon Realm.
On normal days, this place is teeming with visitors, but starting from today, soldiers wearing battle gear have blocked the surrounding area of the Peak of the Forbidden Palace.
Even the powerful houses and Hundred Year Noble Families in the Imperial Capital have no way in.
However, nothing is absolute, and there are still a few people of magnificence, silently observing the situation here, even under such tight security.
“So, you were attracted too?” On top of a building several kilometers away, two white-haired yet youthful-looking old men look in the direction of the Peak of the Forbidden Palace, teasing each other.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a stroll, wanted to see how the world has changed,” the other elder spoke slowly, he has white hair, but his pair of eyes sparkle a bright scarlet, giving him a strangely eerie look.
“Hehe… indeed, the world has changed quite a bit, our old names are probably forgotten by most,” said the elder with the white eyebrows at a slow pace.
The crimson browed elder looked towards the Peak of the Forbidden Palace, his eyes intensifying as if he could see clearly the situation on the Peak of the Forbidden Palace from kilometers away.
“With such a huge commotion, aren’t those guys from the Elders’ House going to do anything?” the crimson browed elder asked after giving a glance at the situation on the Peak of the Forbidden Palace.
The white-browed elder laughed, “The Elders’ House probably has other plans. Do you know about the titled White, a young lad? Rumors say, he is now the best martial artist in the Dragon Realm War Department, reached the rank of Army Master at a young age, and defended the peace of Dragon Realm single-handedly.”
“I’ve heard of him, he’s indeed a promising lad, far stronger than we were at his age. I also heard he’s from the Mitchell Family,” the crimson-browed elder replied.
Oh?
The white-browed elder was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, “It seems the Mitchell Family is about to rise. A Benjamin Mitchell has joined the Eight Sect, and now there’s an Army Master titled White. Within a hundred years, no one could stop the rise of the Mitchell Family unless people like us intervene.”
On hearing this, the crimson-browed elder revealed a peculiar look on his face, teasingly saying, “Old man, you’ve got it wrong this time.”
“Oh?” The white browed elder paused, then curiously asked, “Where did I go wrong?”
The crimson-browed elder continued playfully, “I’ve heard that the Army Master White, was once driven out of the Mitchell Family. He has deep grudges against the family, and there will inevitably be a showdown.”
“So that’s the case, no wonder he’s so brilliant but didn’t receive a spot in the Eight Sect. If the Mitchell Family knew what he has achieved today, they would certainly regret it,” the white-browed elder sighed.
The crimson-browed elder shook his head, “It’s hard to predict fortune or misfortune. Who can say for sure? Without being expelled from his family, the Mitchell Family couldn’t have produced Benjamin Mitchell, the very talented True Dragon. I’ve heard he had been accepted as a disciple by an elder of the Eight Sect and will return to the Capital City soon.
By then, with the support of the Eight Sect, it won’t be easy for Army Master White to lay a finger on the Mitchell Family.
Worse still, he might be eliminated by the people of the Eight Sect.”
The white-browed elder lamented, “What a pity! He’s such a rare talented and handsome young man. It would be so much better if he were born in an ordinary family. …”
Seeing this, the crimson-browed elder teased, “What’s wrong? You want to take him as your disciple?”
The white-browed elder shook his head, “It’s just a momentary sigh. We both understand, this peace won’t last long. I’ve already sensed danger approaching.”
Upon hearing this, the crimson-browed elder’s expression turned serious instantly. “You sensed it too? I thought it was just my illusion.”
“It’s not an illusion. We’re not the only ones who sensed it, so I feel it’s a pity. If Army Master White could mature, perhaps he can resist those unknown forces. But all these are only assumptions,” the white-browed elder said in a dejected tone, his words revealing a trace of desolation.
The crimson-browed elder fell into silence. After a long time, he finally said, “These speculations are premature. The lad is not necessarily the savior of the world. If he indeed is, he would surely possess great luck and may well withstand any challenges.”
“Hopefully, that’s the case. Otherwise, Dragon Realm is in danger,” the white-browed elder gazed into the distance, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Meanwhile, similar scenes were unfolding simultaneously in unseen places.
Clearly, the summit battle between the Army Master White and Deathz Yama attracted not only ordinary folks, but also the powerful existences hidden deep within.
These entities are incredibly powerful and possess amazing origins- ordinary people could spend their entire lives without being able to make contact with them.
But at this moment, these powerful entities were silently watching the battle unfold. The true reason known only to them.
Under their watchful gazes, a figure dressed in black and wearing half a ghostly mask, stands silently atop the Peak of the Forbidden Palace, just like a phantom in the night.
Even though the surroundings of the Peak of the Forbidden Palace are heavily guarded by White’s War Department, this man surprisingly managed to avoid everyone’s surveillance and appear here. This alone is proof of how strong he is.
“Army Master White, come out. What, does the great Army Lord dare not show himself?” Yama stood on the Peak of the Forbidden Palace, his cold gaze sweeping all the people below the Peak, his voice carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Woosh woosh woosh…
The soldiers of White’s War Department beneath the Peak immediately responded, with countless gun barrels pointed straight at Yama on the Peak.
But, Yama looked indifferent and arrogantly exclaimed, “Ha ha ha… Hiding his head but showing his tail. Is this your Army Lord?”
The cronies of White’s Army Master all gritted their teeth upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Yama’s laughter carried even more mockery. His entire demeanor became increasingly wild.
However, at the peak of Yama’s arrogance, a calm voice echoed behind him, “I heard that you are looking for me?”
Hisss!
Startled, Yama’s face instantly tightened. He felt a chill spread down his spine, as if he was trapped in an ice cellar.
When did he appear behind him!?
