Chapter 3027 Escape From The Seven-Star City

Name:Apotheosis Author:En Ci Jie Tuo
The figure that emerged from the old man was as tall as twenty feet and his skin was dark. Everything about his appearance was brimming with hostility.

There were three horns at the top of his head and his face was long and thin. The arms of the unusual figure were as long as an ape's. He flaunted his sparse sharp teeth when he opened his mouth. Every feature of his body contributed to making him look terrifying.

The baby in Zen's arms had just stopped crying. When its eyes met the deformed figure who suddenly appeared, it began to cry loudly again. Traumatized by what it saw, it embraced Zen tightly.

When the two elders of the Sword Light Palace saw this scene, their faces turned extremely sullen.

"It's a member of the Black Armor race! You were actually hiding in Elder Theon's body!"

The elders were fuming with anger. They turned to the leader of the Sword Light Palace and exclaimed. "Reynald! You're the leader of the Sword Light Palace! How could you bring a monster to invade it! What is your purpose?"

The Black Armor race resided in the Bayrock Province which was situated west of the Seven-Star Province. The members of the race resembled humans in features. However, their unforgiving brutality and violent tendencies set them apart from human beings.

Under the steady protection of the Lofty Sword, the Sword Light Palace flourished over the years. During that time, the Stinger Guards had repeatedly entered Bayrock Province to kill off many Black Armor members.

If the Sword Light Palace continued to prosper, it would continue to grow its roots further to the Bayrock Province and drive the Black Armor race away. Both the Black Armor race and Sword Light Palace were as incompatible as fire and water.

No one of the Black Armor race dared to enter the Seven-Star Province with malicious intentions fearing the power of the Lofty Sword. However, now they had broken the Lofty Sword and killed off the officiant. With nothing protecting the Seven-Star City, they colluded with the king of the Man-eating Demon Flowers to attack it.

And the ringleader behind all this was no one but the head of the Sword Light Palace, Reynald.

Reynald returned the cold stare of the elder who questioned him. A venomous smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "You old bastard, now you finally call me the leader of the palace? Caspian has been dead for five hundred years, and I haven't seen you treat me as the leader of the palace even once since then! And that bitch still tries to take my place! Since you didn't treat me well, you have no right to blame me for doing this!"

Since Caspian's death, Reynald had taken over the Sword Light Palace. But in name, he was only the acting leader and never had any authority over ruling it.

Once Caspian's tomb was found, the Sword Light Palace would have a new leader.

Reynald had tried his best to act as a leader over the years, but his efforts were never recognized. He had devoted himself completely for the prosperity of the S

anicking. With desperate eyes he looked at Laura for instructions.

Laura gently bit her lip, her pale face drained of all its color. She took a deep breath and made a decision. "Order the Stinger Guards to abandon the Seven-Star City... You go and get the flying ship... We'll take the disciples of the palaces and leave!"

Ingram stared at her in bewilderment. The Sword Light Palace had stood strong for so many years and they had put in so many efforts to manage the place. How could they give up and flee like this?

But after careful consideration, he realized they didn't have much choice. They had to leave for now.

"Let's go!"

They nodded to each other agreeably. Laura took a step forward on her tiptoes and ascended to the air. In a flash, she appeared in the sky above the Sword Light Palace.

"Master Laura!"

"What should we do, Master Laura?"

The disciples were all in dismay. As soon as they saw Laura, they eyed her up as if she was their savior.

Laura looked around and noticed Zen's expressions. Compared to the other disciples, he looked the calmest. She snapped her fingers and an illusory sword shadow hovered above their heads to protect them.

The disciples of the Sword Light Palace felt relieved under Laura's protection.

Soon after, a big flying ship appeared before them. There stood Ingram looking over at the disciples from the ship.

"All of you, board the ship. We're leaving..." Laura said flatly, signaling the disciples.

"But as members of the Yuebai Clan, how can we abandon the Seven-Star City?" Beldene frowned and protested.

"If you wish to die, by all means, stay here," Laura said curtly. Then she moved her body and boarded the flying ship.

The disciples gulped down their hesitation and jumped aboard the ship without a second thought.

Several disciples of the Yuebai Clan and Qiu Clan debated for a while. Finally, they realized that their lives were above everything. They quickly followed the others and got on the flying ship.
