Celestial Palace's Eighth Hall.
In the main hall, Braxton, Jhaelyn, and Thorley were present. Their faces wore expressions of deep discomfort.
In fact, Thorley's face was filled with fear and anxiety.
Seated at the head of the Eighth Hall was a cultivator who appeared quite youthful. He was calmly seated there, gently sipping coffee from a cup in his hand.
This person was none other than the level three overlord of Celestial Palace's Seventh Hall, Saleto.
Braxton and the other two were absolutely terrified of Saleto.
“Mr. Haverford, there's no need to fear. I'm just here to check things out. I heard you betrayed Celestial Palace, so the overlord of Celestial Palace's Fourth Hall sent me to take a look! I'm really curious. Who could have possibly made you decide to betray Celestial Palace?” Saleto asked flatly.
Braxton responded to Saleto, “If we didn't betray Celestial Palace, we wouldn't be able to survive either. The resources we receive dwindle with each passing day for forces like us. Moreover, we aren't even allowed to intermarry or practice dual cultivation with other clans. This is self-limiting, and sooner or later, Celestial Palace, even our entire celestial clan, will fall into decline!”
“How audacious...”
Saleto furrowed his brows, giving a slight wave of his hand. Immediately, Braxton was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
In that moment, Braxton felt his blood rushing to his head, nearly fainting on the spot.
Saleto had reached the Top Level Wandering Immortal Realm; he was not someone Braxton could handle.
“Father!”
Hastily, Jhaelyn and Thorley rushed forward, helping Braxton to his feet.
Jhaelyn watched as her father coughed up fresh blood, her eyes immediately flaring with fiery anger.
With a swift motion, she yanked her sword from its sheath. The blade trembled, brimming with a powerful surge of spiritual energy, and she pointed it at the man seated high above - Saleto. Her voice quivered with rage. “Mr. Saleto! You dare harm my father! Disciples of the Eighth Hall, heed my command. Today, we will risk everything, even our lives, to make him pay for his actions!”
