Chapter 1786 New Arrivals

Alex teleported next to an old man in the distance, arriving at his side where the old man would have to twist his body around to protect himself.

Alex slashed once, creating an explosion in front of him that immediately covered the old man in flames of terrible might.

He stepped away from the flames as an attack flew toward him carrying the might of a Saint Transformation 9th realm cultivator.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

As Alex dodged it, a person flew at him, trying to drive a spear through his heart. Hannah's sword flashed and a storm of Water Qi moved past the person that was about to attack Alex.

Two more soldiers had to come to protect the person at the last moment.

Alex took the opportunity to teleport back toward his sister who was holding on her own.

"Are you okay?" Hannah asked.

"I'm fine," Alex answered.

"I see Huan back there," Hannah said. "I don't think we're making it to the Emperor this way. We need to back down."

Alex didn't want to do that at all. He released a soft sigh as he tried thinking of what choices he even had. The number of soldiers that had gathered at the Emperor's side had continued increasing and even though they had killed a few, more battalion leaders were joining the battle, causing them to slow down on their progress toward the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor was in the distance, relaxed next to his soldier as he watched the battlefield with cold eyes. He had been resting while Alex and Hannah had been continuously fighting for the past many minutes.

This was bad. Even if they managed to break through these soldiers somehow and arrived in front of the Dragon Emperor again, they would be tired and low on Qi, while the Dragon Emperor would be well rested and ready to fight again.

Alex couldn't let that happen.

With a part of his senses, he could see the entire battlefield. While he had only been focusing mostly on the battle, he still had part of his senses looking out for any abnormalities in the war, and he had long since been waiting for one.

The master of the Ice Mist Palace flew with a group of fairy-like female cultivators next to her, all of whom were in the Saint Transformation realm.

The ancestor of the Realms Beyond Sect, who once used to be its sect leader, had arrived with the sect leader and a few elders of the sect.

Similarly, many other sects and families had arrived and were now waiting outside the war for someone to approach them and tell them what was in fact true. They wanted proof and so they waited for it.

"Brother Yan," a person moved toward Yan Yating. It was an ancestor from the Huang Family of the Silver Kingdom. "It is good to see you alive. Would you mind explaining what is happening? Why it is that you, who we had thought dead, are now back? And why you are against the Emperor?"

"I believe I have explained myself perfectly already. Long Tiankong did something horrible and now he must be punished for it," Yan Yating said.

"By horrible, you mean the Azure Dragon's death? Is the Azure Dragon truly dead?" another person asked.

"Yes," Yan Yating said. "I cannot do anything more than confirm what you already heard. I am bound by oaths to not speak of the horrible matter that happened that day where I was forced by another oath to participate in."

Many looked at Yan Yating with a look of pity, but many also looked at him with a look of doubt.

"And what about everything else that has been said about the Emperor? Is that true too?" someone else asked. "His Highness, the second prince, if that was even him, said a lot about His Majesty."

"I am not aware of everything else, but I can assure you that it is more than likely true," Yan Yating said. "I was not there, but many of my colleagues who left the Empire's army after me can surely confirm it all to you."

"Yan Yating!" a voice called out suddenly.

Yan Yating turned around and saw a figure approaching him and the group from the distance.

Long Huogang, one of the three Heads of the Head Legion, arrived next to the group.

"How dare you go against His Majesty," the man pointed toward Yan Yating accusingly as he spoke. "Do you have no shame?"

"My shame was wrenched away from me the day your Emperor made me do what I did not wish to do, Long Huogang," Yan Yating said. "And I see that you've left yours behind. You still chose to assist him even after knowing the entire truth."
