608 Chapter 608:- The Panther-clan is here
"It looks like the city has changed a lot since our last visit. The city has grown in many ways." Said the patriarch of the Panther-clan as he observed the city from a distance. He was surprised. "Patriarch, maybe all the rumors regarding the Istarin Empire taking over the Lionrock City were true? If that's the case, then Patriarch, we should retreat before it's too late." One of the elders anxiously said. This whole matter was just too sensitive. If they were not careful then their entire Panther clan could be wiped out because of messing with the wrong force. Hearing the elder's words, the Patriarch's face darkened. He was angered and also very disappointed. 'Since when did my clan raise weak-willed warriors? Once this whole matter is over, I am going to remove him from the position of elder.' He also felt that many of the elders needed to be replaced since their ideals and their views had become too outdated. These elders were acting very cowardly. And The Panther clan wasn't a place for cowards. "Resume the march." Under the Patriarch's orders, the army of 11,000 quickly started marching towards the Lionrock City. Many spotted their army from the distance. Seeing them, all the desert ships that were parked outside of the city began fleeing. After all, in the past, the desert ships also have been robbed. They did not want to be robbed again so they quickly started the ship and fled from the city. "So many ships are fleeing seeing us. Hehe!!!' One of the warriors of the Panther clan smiled seeing this scene. "I think it's a big waste. If we could have robbed everyone on those desert ships then our earnings would have increased further." Another warrior sighed feeling slightly depressed. Meanwhile, the whole city was alarmed as the 11,000 army marched forward. Everyone people were panicked. They just got their lives together. After such a long period of time, things were looking position. Their futures were looking position. But now they were about to be robbed one more time. In the city square, people were running here and there. They were trying their best to hide their gold coins so that the Panther clan warriors wouldn't find their cash gold coins. All of the shops in the city were shut down. The people were frantically running here and there. The news even reached the ears of the New City Lord Helen. "What should we do?" Asked one of her soldiers. "There won't be any need to do anything. Just sit and watch." The Istarin Emperor was in this city. Not to mention, the Four Goddesses were also staying in this city. Having them in her city had assured her. Even if an army of a million were to march towards Lionrock, Helen still wouldn't lose her composure. The Dragon Monarch alone had the power to take out several millions of troops with a single attack. -

Scene change_____
When they looked at Aditya, they saw a pair of large red eyes opening behind him. The Patriarch who was standing closest to Aditya started bleeding from his eyes and nose. The next second his eyes rolled back and he just fainted. As for the rest, they fell to their knees. Their faces had turned deadly pale. Their whole bodies were shivering from the intense fear. They were covered in sweat. Aditya obviously did not release his full killing intent. If he did that, then would completely kill everything. His killing intent had become powerful had to kill lower-order cultivators. Unleashing his full killing intent would also mean killing everyone in the whole city. What he had just released was just a fraction of his true killing intent. 10:25
Once Aditya retracted his killing intent, it was only then everyone was able to breathe properly. They finally felt the suffocating feeling had been lifted from their chests. Their bodies felt light now. 'I just wanted to scare them a little but I did not expect the Patriarch of the clan to faint right before my eyes. Maybe I went too far..... or Maybe not...!!!' Aditya just wanted to break the arrogance of this man and open his eyes so that he could realize that all the rumors that he heard were indeed true. "Did I go too far?" Aditya asked while staring at everyone. "No. These people are just too weak in front of you." Riya said. After all, Aditya was someone who was capable of killing a hundred Peak 5th-order cultivators at the same time while being a Peak 3rd-order cultivator. But after he had reached Beginne 4th-order, his powers had increased beyond measure. Right now Riya wasn't sure just how powerful her man was. "Hey....!!! What is your name?" Aditya called one of the elders who was standing a few meters behind the fallen patriarch and was still slightly shaking in fear. "Ma....Mason...!!!" "Mason, wake up your leader," Aditya said in a calm tone. "Yes, My Lord...!!!" The whole clan's attitude was immediately fixed after Aditya showed them a small fraction of his powers. Once the Patriarch woke up, he quickly kneeled in front of Aditya. "I have been foolish enough to not recognize the Dragon Monarch. I have offended you by not knowing your real identity. Please forgive me and my clan, Your Majesty." Saying that the Patriarch put his forehead on the ground. The rest of them followed the clan leader and also put their foreheads on the ground. Seeing this Aditya frowned. He did not like it when people put their foreheads to the ground. He felt that this was just too much. Just kneeling was enough. "Get up.....!!!"
Once they stood up, Aditya continued. "How many people are there in your clan?" Aditya asked. "A total of 15,000 including all the children and the retired elders of the clan, My Lord." The Patriarch said while keeping his head lowered. "From now on, I want the Panther clan to pleage its loyalty to the Istarin Empire. Do you accept?" Patriarch finally raised his head. "It would be our Honor to serve the Dragon Monarch." Saying that the Patriarch and the rest of his troops got on one knee to Pledge their loyalty to the Dragon Monarch. "Good...!!! From now on, I want you all to serve Helen and work to protect the Lionrock City." If the Panther-clan joined the Lionrock City, then the military strength of the city would improve many times. "Understood, My Lord." There was no downside to serving the Istarin Empire and the Dragon Monarch. Not only their lives will be spared and their clan will be allowed to continue. But also their clan would receive a ton of benefits and cultivation resources. It wasn't everyone's luck to serve the Dragon Monarch. This is why the Patriarch did not hesitate to Pledge their loyalty to the Aditya. He did not even waste a second thinking about Aditya's words. "Alright, you come with me. Others can wait outside of the city for now. First everyone's names are needed to be recorded." "Later I will give you a desert ship to go and get your whole clan to the Lionrock City." The Patriarch nodded his head and respectfully followed Aditya and Riya back to the City. ----------------
