Chapter 484 The Noble Family Alliance's Outrage

Azaroth slowly released Helge Degener and spoke, "This was just one of the Seventh Grade Arrays I know. Do you need another demonstration? This time, I will show you that I have enough power to slaughter a 7 Star Warrior."

Helge was entirely impressed and no longer required further proof from Azaroth, "No. This is more than enough. You have convinced me."

A serious expression appeared on his face as he spoke, "What do you want to discuss?"

At that moment, Erica's voice resounded in the hall, "It's to make a deal with us, Helge."

Helge turned around, and his eyes contacted Erica's. She was still in the Banquet Hall. She naturally wasn't going to leave the banquet hall with those hookers.

"What is this deal?" Helge asked, a little curious and cautious as he spoke those words.

Azaroth spoke, "I want your cooperation in this war against the Royal Family. In return, I am ready to set up two seventh-grade arrays in your sect which can protect the Red Crown Sect even from an attack of a dozen 7 Star Warriors."

"Woah, Woah, Woah! What?!" Helge was shocked to hear that statement.

Seeds of ambition had already begun to bud in his heart long ago, but he didn't dare to entertain these wild thoughts because he had no way to deal with the Royal Family's trump cards.

But if Azaroth set up two seventh-grade arrays in the Red Crown Sect, he would possess an invincible armor that the Royal Family couldn't break. It would be akin to adding wings to a tiger!

"You heard right. Now, tell me your response," Azaroth asked quickly. He didn't want to give Helge too much time to think.

Helge didn't even dare to think much. He directly agreed to this condition!

"When will you come to set up this array?" Helge asked a little curiously.

"You don't need to worry about that. The commotion will be so large that you won't miss it. Until then, refrain from announcing our alliance publicly. In fact, inform everyone that you rejected us. Even your closest subordinates!" Azaroth was very specific about this.

"That makes sense. If the Royal Family finds out that we have joined hands with you, they will instantly use their influence and power to destroy us. In fact, the Royal Family has enough connections within the Red Crown Sect to cause an internal war within the sect."

He let out a sigh and added, "If an internal war occurred, I would be forced to focus on the internal matters of my sect."

Azaroth nodded, "Hmm. You are right. And that is why you will inform the Royal Family of everything that happened in this banquet other than this conversation."

"I'm sure King Tryfon is intrigued about what transpired at this banquet. He must have spies among the sect masters who have landed. If you tell King Tryfon all that happened at the banquet and he verifies it via his spies, his trust in you will deepen."

A satanic smile soon appeared on Azaroth's face as he added, "What better opportunity to betray someone than when they have total faith in you?"

Those words sent a chill down Helge's spine. This was a stark contrast to his typical demeanor as he was a forthright warrior who habitually followed all instructions.

Helge has never deceived someone before. He was, however, feeling a little giddy at the notion of betraying the King for some reason.

"What exactly do you want from me?" Helge asked straightforwardly. He further explained his question, "You can deal with a 7 Star Warrior. I don't understand why you need to form this secret alliance with my sect."

Helge didn't want to be used and thrown by Azaroth. He wanted to completely understand Azaroth's motive for choosing the Red Crown Sect.

Even Erica was curious about the reason. Azaroth had ordered her to openly declare her support for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. If all Azaroth wanted to do was deceive the King, then he could have accomplished it through the Black Lake Sect.

However, Azaroth specifically chose to strike a secret deal with the Red Crown Sect. She wished to understand the reasoning behind this decision.

A smile appeared on Azaroth's face as he answered, "The reason is very simple. It's because you have taught the members of the Royal Family. What I want is something only you can provide. Information related to the Royal Family! I want to know their history, powers, abilities, and relationship with each other."

"All the Royal Princes and even the current King had joined the Red Crown Sect for a brief period. Thus, the Red Crown Sect is bound to have some secret information about all of them. I want it."

Helge finally relaxed as he heard this explanation, "I see. Other than a few things, I am willing to share everything else with you."

This was unsurprising. You couldn't expect someone to just hand over their entire fortune!

~~

In the Sinyalian Kingdom, a rather troublesome situation was going on.

Even though Piero, the mastermind of the Noble Family Alliance, was dead. The Noble Family Alliance was far from finished.

After discovering that an Inquisitor slaughtered his brother, Kuno Lewis gathered the other Noble Families to attack the Merchant Union's branches in their territories.

It wasn't a simple ambush. It was a genocide!

Each Noble Family created its individual groups to slaughter the members of the Merchant Union and Royal Family's subordinates in their city.

Even a few merchants who were suspected of buying from the Merchant Union were publicly hanged!

King Valliadis was outraged when he learned of the news. He quickly assembled all of his Inquisitors and Royal Guards.

This was the first time in the history of the Sinyalian Kingdom that the King's sword and shield received a joint mission!

"I have endured long enough. It's time to deal with this situation decisively. I order you all to slaughter the Noble Families, openly massacring my subordinates! Start from the Lewis Family."

This was also the day when they would receive their second joint mission.

"And your secondary task is to find Inquisitor Fox and bring him to me! Alive!" The King wanted to understand why Inquisitor Fox suddenly killed Piero. Only then could he properly punish Inquisitor Fox.

The Inquisitors were divided into two parts. One would hunt the Noble Families while the other would focus on finding Inquisitor Fox.

Just as the King ordered, these Inquisitors and Royal Guards attacked the Lewis Noble Family. Within a week, all the members of the Lewis Noble Family were slaughtered.

In fact, only Bianca possessed the pure bloodline of the Lewis Noble Family. However, this was only the start of a massacre.

The other Noble Houses recognized the danger only when the Lewis Noble Family had been slaughtered. It was only natural for them to be terrified.

The Lewis Noble Family had a long history and possessed multiple trump cards. Yet, all members of the Lewis Family were slaughtered within a week by the Inquisitors!

This was the first time the Noble Families realized the true terror of the Inquisitors. They had no idea that the King had so many elite warriors!

What was worth noting is that the second Noble Family these Inquisitors targeted was the Nathan Noble Family.

This was precisely one of the two Noble Families that Shun desperately wanted to destroy. And his wish was now being fulfilled as the Inquisitors slaughtered all the members of this Noble Family.

The next Noble Family that was destroyed was none other than Renner Noble Family. This was the other Noble House that Shun wished to destroy. It took nearly 5 days for this Noble Family to be turned into ruins.

Now, it would be a lie to say that Shun did not have a hand in destroying these two Noble Families.

In reality, the captain of this mission was someone close to Shun. He was a good friend who greatly respected Shun.

Shun contacted him right after he received the mission of purging the rebellious Noble Families. He informed the captain, "…You always wanted to know how you can repay me, right? Then destroy the Nathan Noble Family and Renner Noble Family after you all are done with the Lewis Family."

This was all it took for the two Noble Families to be destroyed and turn into ruins!

A/N: Azaroth is going to advance his rank soon. Hope you all love the method and the heavenly tribulation.
