Bryant was influential in the Holy Dragon Empire, and he was a top master at the Immortal Stage. Even the royal family, including the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, had great respect for him. Thus, it was evident that Bryant's appearance was the last thing anyone could have expected.
He was one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire and the leader of the Ximen Clan. It could even be said that Bryant was qualified to be on an equal footing with the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. His appearance was quite a shock, as more than one year ago, he went to the border along with the Sky Army to guard there, and he hadn't been back for over a year. Besides, after Basil spiraled suddenly into madness and cultivated in seclusion to heal himself, his engagement with Shirley from the Ximen Clan was broken off. As a result, the relationship between the Ximen Clan and the royal family became very tense. Normally, Bryant had no reason to attend Basil's funeral.
However, to everyone's surprise, Bryant had come back from a faraway place just to attend Basil's funeral.
Bryant and Shirley walked towards the emperor amid the whispered buzzing of the people around them. When they reached him, they bowed deeply in greeting.
"Why did you come back?" the emperor asked. A year ago, he made an excuse to send Bryant's Sky Army to a very remote border, so that he could prevent him from investigating the marriage. And now, he was somewhat embarrassed to see Bryant, because now that Basil had died, the truth about that matter would finally be revealed.
"I heard that Prince Basil died for our empire, and all people in the empire are mourning for him. He and Shirley were engaged before, and although he has broken off the engagement, it is only right that we should come and attend his funeral," Bryant responded calmly.
Meanwhile, behind him, Shirley barely stopped herself from rolling her eyes. In the past, Basil suddenly pretended to be ill and disappeared. As a result, their engagement was broken off, and she became the laughingstock in people's eyes. Now, even though Basil had become a hero in the Holy Dragon Empire, she was still holding a grudge against him because of what he had done to her in the past. Ever since that happened, she had often dreamed of getting back at him, but she didn't expect him to die so early. Now that he was dead, she couldn't enact her revenge anymore, and that was the only thing that saddened her.
It irked her that Brya
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ay of Basil's funeral, all the soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group gathered together in the main camp, and they decided to spend three days fasting to mourn for their fallen Commander in Chief.
The news reached the Imperial City after two days, and the emperor and the ministers were moved by their devotion. They didn't expect that Basil would be so revered by the Crimson Dragon Group.
On the other side, the empires in the Wild Spirit Land, including the Timber Deity Empire, also received the news.
Alyssa and Woods were stunned when they learned that Rocky was the prince of the Holy Dragon Empire and that he was dead.
"He died?" Woods murmured almost to himself, as his face was shrouded by darkness. There was a strange glint in his eyes, as he survived only because of Rocky's mercy, and ironically, it was Rocky who had died.
"How did he die? How did this happen?" To say that Alyssa was stunned was an understatement. She finally found the person who was related to her curse seal, but now he was dead. She shook her head in dismay.
"It must be that man." A serious look suddenly appeared on Woods's face as if he was remembering something.
"What man? What are you talking about?" Alyssa asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Woods opened his mouth but hesitated at the last second. He believed that since Rocky was dead, it would be useless, even if he knew who killed him. Besides, no one would believe him if he told them.
At that moment, Alyssa looked a little absent-minded and restless. She seemed preoccupied for a while, and then she suddenly spoke firmly as if she had made up her mind, "I'm going to the Holy Dragon Empire."
