Chapter 209: The People of Thorns, Fearless (Seeking Recommendations)_2
Unless he's a Legendary Warrior, with Miracle Power so vast that he can fight for days and nights on end and still be full of vigor.
Beneath a King, isn't every household economizing? Who would dare to waste Miracle Power so recklessly.
The underlying implication was that Tulip didn't even need to defeat Lyon, she could just tire him out!
"Really?"
Lyon, "I think I can last even longer."
The Miracle Entity lacks everything except Miracle Power.
Forget a mere half-hour; Lyon said if he wished, he could maintain it for hundreds of millions of years without a problem.
"Meow!!"
"The scent of a living human!"
Three enormous Nightmare Monsters descended from the sky as Lyon opened up a new Blood Moon Dreamland, and this was their home ground.
With jet-black and messy fur, blood-red enormous eyes, they bared their teeth, a viscous toxin the color of fresh blood dripping continuously, they fixed their gaze on Tulip, their excitement and joy at finding prey were unmistakable.
They were none other than the Cute Cat Family's Big Three of Yatun, Cat Lingling, Cat Yiyi, and Cat Erer.
"What is this thing?"
Tulip had never seen such Contaminated Species: "Contaminated Species?"
"She is mine!!"
"They can talk?!"
As a vast dark shroud enveloped her head, Tulip saw a massive figure pouncing towards her, but the opponent's strength was not as terrifying as its size.
"Transcendent Level, daring to bare your fangs at me, you're quite courageous."
"Huh~~"
Unfortunately, before Tulip could make a move to slay the Cute Cat Trio, Lyon shifted the dreamscape again, "Would you really strike down someone Transcendent and Extraordinary, O mighty King, without fear of ridicule?"
"On the battlefield, anyone who dares to strike at me should be prepared to be killed!"
"Roar?"
Lyon's expression changed slightly, he had intended to avoid a direct confrontation with Tulip due to his identity as a Miracle Entity.
Although he wasn't afraid of others accusing him of bullying the less powerful, Lyon did not really enjoy such a one-sided battle.
But now, Tulip had said something that piqued his interest.
"I didn't want to move against you initially."
"But since you've said so much," Lyon slipped his right hand into his pocket, flicking his left hand, "then I'll play along with you."
"..."
Tulip ground her teeth in secret: "Are you suggesting that the gap between me and you is like the gap between them and me?"
Between a Transcendent and a King, her and Lyon?
That's preposterous!
"No."
Lyon shook his head: "What I mean is, the gap between them and you can at least be traced, while the gap between you and me, is boundless!"
"Is that so?!"
Tulip was almost furious: "Who do you think you are, one of the Miracle Kings?"
"If you are the Miracle Kings."
Tulip shouted angrily, charging toward Lyon, "Then I am the Empress of the Far North!"
"Where is Tulip?"
In the north of the Ancient City, beyond the fog, Mei Xiang and Xia Yan arrived hurriedly.
Alas, they were a step too late.
"She went in?" Find adventures on empire
Mei Xiang sighed, "That girl, still so rash, entering without even knowing the enemy situation."
"After all, it is that Tulip, the genius unexpectedly acquired by His Majesty."
Tulip's rashness was something Xia Yan had grown accustomed to.
She wouldn't be Tulip if she wasn't rash.
"But isn't this too arrogant?"
The subjects under the Master of Miracles mostly have good relationships, especially in situations that belong to the same Miracle, they are as close as family.
Of course, even family members have their disputes and seeing each other disagreeably is more than normal.
But at least, they would never make the wrong decisions on major issues.
"We must go in."
Just like now, Xia Yan stated, "Their boldness to send people here indicates that they don't care about the Sacred Covenant."
"But no one in this world is unafraid of the Holy Empire."
Xia Yan analyzed, "They are very likely a nascent Master of Miracles. Do you remember the news that floated over from overseas?"
"Are you saying that Yatun Duchy? Has a new Miracle Kingdom really appeared on the ocean?"
Miracles are extremely rare, with a new one emerging only every few decades on average.
Across the entire Miracle Mainland, the last Master of Miracles to appear was the Labyrinth Master from the Kingdom of Starry Night, the one known as the Demon King.
"The one above the Upper Tier is my lord, the last one was the Labyrinth Demon King, and this time, it's Yatun Duchy."
"Yatun..."
Xia Yan and Mei Xiang exchanged looks, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes, "Could it be? This Yatun, couldn't possibly be..."
"If it really is them, then Tulip is in danger!"
The Iron Eagle bore a grudge against Yatun, and although Count Thorn seldom involved himself in such matters, his people had committed grave sins against the Yatun Clan.
Back when Xia Yan and Mei Xiang were younger, a merchant under Count Thorn's banner took a fancy to an exceedingly lovely girl, he made a move on her but was beaten back by a few adventurers accompanying the girl.
The wealthy merchant harbored a secret grudge and, in revenge, reported the incident to a Child of Miracle.
Then, that Child of Miracle, along with others, captured a mortal.
"The Nineteen Heroes, as mortals, completed a godlike feat with their miraculous Adventure Group."
The Adventure Group was in a state of disbandment at the time, and after many years of wandering, some decided to return home to visit their families, including the father of my senior sister and my old uncle.
And this left the Adventure Group without its combat-capable Martial Faction.
It was during this gap that the Child of Miracle, unaware of their situation, not only captured my senior sister's father but also executed him publicly, right in front of my old uncle and senior sister.
"Were you in court at that time?"
"Yes."
Xia Yan said, "I've never seen His Majesty so enraged."
Count Thorn was duped by the Child of Miracle.
Though he chose to revoke the Miracle Power of the offender and banish them, it did nothing to change the blood feud between him and the Yatun Clan.
Very innocent, very helpless.
But as karma goes, even if Count Thorn wasn't at fault, the vengeance that needed to be avenged still had to be realized.
However, it wasn't just that incident.
Soldiers under Count Thorn's command had also invaded the secluded village of the Yatun Clan, committing atrocious crimes.
So it wasn't just the death of my senior sister's father fifteen years ago but also the twelve-year-old vendetta of the destruction of the Yatun village.
"They've come for vengeance."
"Why come after us?!"
Mei Xiang said, "That idiot has already gone to the Holy Empire; even if they wanted revenge, they should go after him, right?"
"There's no escape."
Xia Yan: "They will go after the true masterminds, but we, similarly, must pay the price."
"..."
Mei Xiang knew that the war of miracles could be quite absurd, with some Kings starting wars over a single phrase.
Now, it was a matter of vengeance for a lost relative.
How could they let it slide?
"Blood for blood, life for life."
Mei Xiang and Xia Yan interpreted this phrase to mean the People of Yatun had returned, they had come back for revenge.
Bailuo did not intervene personally because among the dead kinsfolk were the parents of Sheila and Lyon, of Nors and Fiona, and also those of Miya and Shuster.
This blood feud, Bailuo could not meddle with; they had to avenge it with their own hands!
"We can't let Tulip fight alone."
So spoke Mei Xiang, looking toward the fog ahead, while Xia Yan also spoke up, "Let's go together."
"Please allow us to journey forth together!"
The instructors from the Hundred Flowers Valley Academy, they were Heroic Level powerhouses under Count Thorn's command and also classmates who grew up with Tulip.
The People of Yatun had come for revenge, and only blood could wash away this grudge.
"You must understand," Xia Yan turned back and said, "If it truly is the Yatun Clan, we might not return."
"Then let's die together!"
"To die alongside both of you esteemed teachers would be my honor."
"We are to protect His Majesty's flower maiden," said a woman holding a plant resembling a clover, "If we can sacrifice ourselves for His Majesty, even if our lives are brief, we would be entirely content."
"Alright."
Xia Yan knew she could not persuade them, her only demand was that neither the Transcendent nor the Extraordinary could enter.
As for the others...
"Let's go."
Xia Yan unleashed the Miracle Power, clearing the fog ahead: "Let's go meet those People of Yatun, and even if our hatred is as deep as the sea, we will tell them that the people of Thorns are fearless!"
