From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

"Fake-Spirit Card."

That was the powerful ability of the Path of Tranquility, capable of transforming one's appearance.

Until now, many Extraordinary Exponents of the Dawn Church who embarked on the Path of Tranquility had used the power of the "Fake-Spirit Card" to infiltrate various parts of Cyart and secretly accomplished numerous tasks.

The Extraordinary Exponents of the Path of Tranquility were born spies and assassins.

And the one who had traveled farthest and was most powerful on this path was undoubtedly Chris.

At this moment, he had disguised himself as a servant in the palace, having infiltrated this victory banquet in the Cyart Royal Capital, searching for a genuine opportunity to destroy the enemy.

Chris had only one target.

The New King of Cyart, Noah Adley!

In fact, he had been staying in the Cyart Royal Capital for a full three months.

Assassinating Cyart's new king, Noah, no doubt was a boldly astonishing act, but Chris felt it was also a near-permanent solution to the problem.

Chris had discussed this matter beforehand with Byrne, and then, without waiting for a family meeting to be convened, he infiltrated the Cyart Royal Capital alone.

He had already considered in advance how to infiltrate, assassinate, and ultimately withdraw.

King Noah was an Extraordinary Exponent who had already reached the Monarch Level, an extremely powerful being, but after all, he was merely a low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent, so his own "Lethality" could take effect at the time of the attack.

He just had to get close to him, and by launching a surprise attack through rune power, he could completely destroy the opponent.

And as long as he succeeded in killing Noah Adley, even if the Adley royal family manipulated by the Words of Tranquility subsequently introduced a new king of Cyart at the Transmutation Level, he would not command absolute authority.

The assassination of the King and the death of the Monarch-powerful experts, when compounded, would certainly deal a devastating blow to the reputation of the Adley royal family!

The victory of the Fischer Family and Romann Family would then become imminent.

At this moment, King Noah came out of his room and returned to the center of the banquet, capturing the attention of everyone; he began to mingle with the many nobles present.

"Sword of Salvation" Noah.

As the last remaining Monarch-powerful expert from the direct line of the Adley Royal Family, before ascending to the throne, he was widely seen as someone who "would not bother with worldly matters and was solely focused on becoming stronger."

However, after truly becoming the new king of Cyart, Noah completely changed the impression he made on people. He immediately began to actively intervene in governmental affairs and called upon hundreds of noble families throughout the country to jointly combat the rebels. Experience more content on empire

The drastic changes in Noah before and after were so great that they left many people dumbfounded, especially Marquis Vlad, who had not anticipated this at all.

Chris, disguised as a servant, watched quietly on the side, waiting for the right moment.

Now was not the time to act.

His heartbeat sped up slightly with the movement of his target, but he remained calm and composed.

Chris was acutely aware that any sign of nervousness or error in the present setting could lead to failure. He adjusted his breathing, putting himself into a highly focused state.

Finally, after a series of exchanges, Noah nodded gently and calmly said, "I need to step away for a moment, sorry, my subjects."

As he finally moved to a relatively isolated corner, Chris knew this was his chance.

He approached the target quickly and noiselessly, deciding to unleash his rune power.

Suddenly, Noah snapped back to awareness, staring intently at the approaching Chris!

Those icy eyes were like chilling winds on a winter's night, piercing through all warmth and hope, ruthlessly ravaging every corner without a hint of warmth, sharp and indifferent.

Almost every person observed by those eyes would feel an inexplicable oppression, as if bound by an invisible force, immobilized.

It was a deeply bone-chilling coldness that made one shiver involuntarily.

The new king, Noah, seemed to have gotten used to communicating with the world in this way, his eyes filled with alienation and cold indifference, as if he had lost interest in everything around him.

Such a gaze was impenetrable and unforgettable.

"..."

Instantly, Chris knew he had been spotted by the other, not because of any flaw in his appearance but because he had let his intense killing intent slip out.

The "person" across from him, this so-called king of Cyart, was actually the same kind of being as himself.

So that was it, Chris fully understood now, something only he could realize in a flash.

Perhaps before becoming the new king of Cyart, Noah had always been the "dark side" of the Adley royal family, secretly having killed countless people.

So he could sense his own killing intent!

Before becoming a king, Noah was not indifferent to worldly matters; rather, it was because at that time, he was handling matters absolutely unknown to others!

Without hesitation, Noah acted!

From his hand extended a blade made of golden liquid blood, moving at a speed imperceptible to the human eye, instantly thrusting toward Chris.

However, "Rift Moment" suddenly activated!

Time had stopped.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At that moment, the party seemed to be gently paused by an invisible hand, everything freezing instantaneously.

The air was filled with aromas of champagne and cigars, scents that seemed frozen in time, lingering mid-air, no longer dispersing.

Light softly sprinkled on delicate wine glasses and silverware, creating tranquil shadows that illuminated each detail with pristine perfection.

The guests' smiles were still fixed on their faces, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and joy as if waiting for the next topic to unfold, their posturisms elegant as if sculptures meticulously crafted and frozen at this moment.

A drop of red wine slid from the rim of a glass, but it had paused in mid-air, like a red gemstone suspended.

In the distance, the band members' hands were still suspended above their instruments, the notes appearing to be stuck in the air, waiting to be released, the entire venue enveloped in a mysterious tranquility as time lost its flow.

The next moment, time resumed its course.

"Bang!"

The current sovereign of Cyart, Noah, burst abruptly, his body exploding in a blur of golden blood and flesh scattered all around.

All the partygoers were shocked, followed instantly by a frenzy of screams!

"His Majesty Noah!"

"The King has been assassinated!"

"My God! What happened!"

The entire process unfolded so quickly that the people around could not react immediately, and by the time they realized what had happened, Chris had already disappeared into the crowd, leaving only the fallen flesh and chaos behind.

He quickly entered the sewer system of Cyart Royal Capital, planning to make his escape through it.

"..."

Just moments later, a dreadful figure appeared in front of Chris, blocking him directly.

The Wordless Elder!

His face was completely obscured, only a frail outline discernible, always silent, still emanating an exceptionally strong aura of death.

Chris sensed that the Wordless Elder's strength had weakened considerably, presumably due to a severe soul injury from an attack by his sister last time, no longer possessing the strength of a high-level Monarch.

In that case.

He could try to kill him right here before the city's barrier activated!

However, the sudden appearance of another person the next moment led Chris to abandon the idea of killing the Wordless Elder on the spot.

It was another powerful Monarch from the enemy, "Silver Poet" Aphrodus!

She spoke calmly.

"Don't think about escaping, Chris Fischer."

With two powerful Monarch experts before him, and the barrier of Cyart Royal Capital about to activate, Chris was not so arrogant as to continue fighting them and instead calmly considered how to retreat.

At the moment of entrapment, his inner depths suddenly became like a lake sealed in ice.

An unprecedented tranquility.

——

Meanwhile, back at the scene of the party.

The gold-hued flesh and blood on the ground, as if reanimated, began to twist and surge in the air.

Slowly, yet firmly, it flowed, sketching graceful arcs in the air like dancers gliding through the crowd.

As more of the golden liquid accumulated, it began to intertwine and merge in the air, gradually coalescing into a vague human silhouette.

"Is this a transformation of spiritual power into life force? It seems entirely different!"

"Oh God! What on earth is happening!"

"A miracle of the Lord of Salvation!"

People halted their actions, staring in astonishment at the spectacle, some with eyes wide, others covering their mouths, fearful their voices might shatter this wonderful scene.

The figure became clearer, ultimately solidifying into a golden human form.

The golden figure did not speak, but merely stood quietly, its profound and bright eyes watching everyone, the once chaotic party instantly falling silent, the crowd utterly awestruck by this bizarre sight.

With his features completely restored, the resurrected Noah stood in the central crowd, his body radiating dazzling light, as if a messenger from another world had descended.

Amid the astounded gazes of the crowd, he proclaimed loudly:

"I am protected by the great Lord of Salvation, possessed of an undying body, and no one in the world can kill me!"
