319 The Noble Family Alliance

This was the Ancestral Bloodline Ability belonging to the Royal Elves. The ability to fuse their body with nature.

Laura utilized this ability to nullify Yrellea's attacks.

Yrellea was happy that Laura wasn't severely injured by her attacks, but she was also confused about defeating Laura. If Laura could simply phase through her attacks, then how could she be defeated?

Azaroth concentrated on their fight while assessing Yrellea's strength. Her physical strength looked to have dwindled a little, but her Ardor application seemed to have improved dramatically.

Azaroth didn't need to analyze Laura since the two had been living together for the last couple of months. He knew everything about Laura's abilities.

Even this ability to fuse her body with nature.

This might seem like a godly ability, but it wouldn't work against a sensor. In fact, if it was a very perceptive sensor, he would be able to gauge how Laura had fused her body with Nature.

Whether she had fused with the ground, the air, or the water. Once he figured out where Laura was, he could launch another attack and severely injure her.

However, attempting this in a battle was harder than it seemed. The person needed to remain deadly calm to sense so much during a battle.

Moreover, Laura could also use her techniques to weaken the attack heading towards her.

There were all kinds of things occurring during a battle. Within the battle between two individuals of similar strength, the one who was trickier would win.

If someone understood Laura's ability, they would have a greater chance of winning. However, if Laura used her ability intelligently and managed to confuse her opponent, her chances of winning would sharply increase.

The spar between Laura and Yrellea had ended in Yrellea's defeat.

It was only natural that Laura would win. Her control over the Wood Element was much superior to Yrellea's control over her Water Element.

Moreover, Laura's element had already been strengthened, and she had also awakened her Ancestral Ability.

Yrellea still had no countermeasure for that Ancestral Ability. Thus, she lost. However, she internally promised herself that she would win the next time.

"Let's return now," Azaroth spoke as the three walked back to the residence.

Yrellea requested Azaroth and Laura to allow her to live with them. With the wealth she possessed, she could easily buy a couple of inns.

But she wanted to live beside Azaroth. That wouldn't be possible if she decided to live in an inn.

Azaroth agreed to her begging.

The next day, Azaroth left the residence quickly. He was heading towards the origin sect's branch in Veninza City.

He met up with Patrick and told him, "Time for you to go to the main branch and deal with Hugo Corlett."

"The first step will be for you to become an elder. The origin sect will probably have someone transferred to this branch. If you lose to Hugo Corlett, you will be that individual. Or else, it might be another unlucky individual from the main sect," Azaroth informed Patrick solemnly.

Patrick nodded his head and then replied, "I understand. Due to your training, I am sure that my 5 Star Rank Cultivation is absolutely stable. After activating my bloodline, I am confident that I can even defeat Hugo Corlett."

"Yes. But don't reveal everything too suddenly. Or else they will be suspicious of why you stayed in Veninza City for too long. Reveal your strength slowly. First, reveal your cultivation base, and then in another battle, your bloodline energy. Make them believe that you completely awakened your bloodline ability after returning to the main sect," Azaroth spoke.

"Alright," Patrick nodded his head.

"As for that woman Cara. When she realizes the truth of what actually occurred, she is bound to be disgusted by that man and return to you. And if she still doesn't want to return to you, you can just give up on her. I doubt there will be a shortage of beauties within the Origin Sect. When your prestige increases, they are bound to try their luck with you," Azaroth casually spoke.

Azaroth suddenly turned serious as he added, "Your task would be to choose the woman with the strongest background. The one whose family was so strong that they could make the origin sect listen seriously to them."

Soon, Patrick was dispatched from Veninza City. The entire Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City was left in Azaroth's hands.

"Now, time to plant the seeds of conflict between the Origin Sect and the Dragon Tiger Palace," Azaroth spoke with a devilish smile on his face.

He was looking forward to the future.

After a couple of hours, Azaroth decided to check up on his spies within the Sinyalian Kingdom.

There were only two of them remaining within the Sinyalian Kingdom. One was Jonas's wife, Josephine Rhodes. While the other was Spencer Russel's beloved wife, Bianca Russel.

The information about Edwin's death had been concealed by the king. It was to such an extent that Bianca and Josephine still remained in the dark about it.

However, another event occurred within the Sinyalian Kingdom that couldn't be concealed by the king.

The Walsh Dukedom and its direct descendants had been purged!

Many individuals, including the noble families, were shocked how such an event could occur. And so suddenly at that.

The Walsh Dukedom wasn't directly involved in conflict with any other party. So how could the duchess and her direct heir die so suddenly?!

A smile appeared on Azaroth's face as he thought 'However, I do know about it. Time to create some panic within the Sinyalian Kingdom.'

He would have Josephine and Bianca spread the information that it was the King who purged the Walsh Family.

Josephine was going to use her servants in the mansion to spread this news within the Rhodes House.

Once it was completely spread in the Rhodes House, the news was bound to reach their guests' ears and spread in the nearby cities. In due time, the information was going to spread in the entire Sinyalian Kingdom.

In the meantime, Bianca was going to inform this her Maiden Noble House, the Lewis Family.

When the Lewis Family hears about this information from another source, they would definitely believe Bianca's words.

Bianca was going to inform them that the King was purging all those Noble Houses that he felt were threatening his rule.

The Lewis House was a little scared as they had also been involved in some suspicious businesses. If the King found out about those businesses, maybe the Lewis Family would become the next Walsh Family.

The Lewis House decided to create a countermeasure against the King. They spread this information to the other Noble Houses discreetly.

The Noble Houses began to hold urgent meetings in an attempt to discuss what was going on. They were all worried as they heard that the King had purged the Walsh House's Bloodline.

"The next time anything like this occurs, we shall go in the great hall and ask for an explanation from His Majesty. If His Majesty refuses to give any explanation for his actions, we will announce ourselves autonomous states while forming an alliance with each other. Even His Majesty will feel pressured when that occurs," The Lewis House's head spoke seriously.

"I agree with you, Lord Lewis!" A Noble Family Head spoke out.

Soon, more followed this man's lead and expressed their agreement.

Jonas Rhodes spoke up at this moment, "What if this is a mere rumor and we are worried about nothing?"

All the Noble Houses heads turned silent. They felt that his words did make sense.

At this moment, the Lewis House's head spoke up, "So what if this is a rumor? I believe we need to make our stand clear to His Majesty. He can't just kill one of us and grab all their territory and property like that! I will not stand for it, and neither should you."

The other Noble House's heads immediately spoke out in affirmation!

The Lewis House's head spoke out, "I don't care if someone amongst us ditches this information to His Majesty. As long as we remain united, His Majesty won't dare to take action against us."
