The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6202

"Th-that... what's that?"

"The sky... why is it all golden light? That aura is terrifying..."

"It's the Celestial Palace! That's the Celestial Palace uniform! That's the Celestial Palace army!"

"Dear heavens... so many cultivators, such a massive force... the Celestial Palace is... is it here to wipe out Cloudhaven City?!"

Terror swept across the whole of Cloudhaven City in an instant, fast and vicious as the worst plague.

The calm ease that had been sitting on the people's faces vanished in a blink and was replaced all at once.

They broke. Order broke with them. The fear showed everywhere.

The lively streets turned into chaos in the span of a breath.

Vendors threw down their stalls in panic. Goods spilled all over the ground, and no one even tried to pick them up before running for their lives;

passersby went white and sprinted for home without caring about anything else;

children started crying from the crushing atmosphere, their sharp sobs cutting through the streets. Women clutched them tight and screamed. Men wore hard, ashen faces, but even they dragged their families around looking for somewhere to hide.

Crying, screaming, shouting, running, the crash of things shattering...

All of it tangled together into one frantic uproar. In a single moment, all of Cloudhaven City went from a Peach Blossom Haven to a place where panic ruled every street.

As for the different forces that had attached themselves to the Janis Family and taken shelter under Cloudhaven City, they were even worse off, their faces as gray as ash.

They hid inside their homes with doors and windows shut tight, peering through narrow cracks at the Celestial Palace army hanging over the sky, blotting out the sun and boiling with killing intent. Despair and regret filled every house.

"It's over... it's all over..."

"The Celestial Palace isn't playing around this time. They're here to slaughter the whole city!"

"If we'd known... if we'd known, we never should've stayed in Cloudhaven City, never should've thrown in with the Janis Family... and now it's too late to leave. There's nowhere to run!"

Under full power, the cityward array slowly came to life.

A pale golden curtain of light rose from all four sides of the city. It spread upward like a massive dome and sealed all of Cloudhaven City beneath it.

Spiritual light flowed across the barrier, and a protective force ran through it. But under the terrifying pressure of the Celestial Palace army, it looked so fragile, so small, as if a single touch would be enough to shatter it.

On the city walls.

Roland stood at the very front, straight as a spear.

Behind him, dozens of Sky Dragon champions waited in full readiness. Draconic energy rolled off every one of them, and every face had gone hard and solemn.

Their numbers were laughably small compared to the thousand-strong elites of the Celestial Palace, but not one of them stepped back. Not one of them showed a trace of fear.

They were the Sky Dragon Clan, the proud descendants of the Draconians. They would die before they surrendered.

Roland drew in a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked straight at the golden warship hanging in the sky. Then he drove his spiritual power through his whole body and shouted at the top of his lungs.

His voice crashed out like thunder, rolling across heaven and earth and spreading in every direction. "Lord Godric!"

"You moved an army for no reason and brought it down on Cloudhaven City. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

At the prow of the golden warship.

Godric stood high above, looking down at the tiny Cloudhaven City below and at Roland on the wall. His face did not change at all, and when he spoke, his voice came down flat and cold, carrying the kind of authority that left no room to resist.

"Roland."

"I did not come here today for anything else. I came for one thing only. Hand over Jared."

That one sentence carried clearly into every ear.
