"Leave the kid alone, friend."
"Fuck off!"
Two voices, one calm and could be considered polite and the other one rude, sounded out as two figures slowly materialized in front of Barren, holding onto the Head Watcher's hand.
Both were old n.
The first one, dressed in simple-looking golden-white robes, had a head full of white hair and a white mustache and a well-kept beard. His facial features were similar to Barren's, indicating he was an ancestor of the Rivervale family.
The second man was dressed in black robes with blood-red strips, and he had waist-length blood-red hair. Unlike the Rivervale ancestor, who had a smiling expression on his wrinkled face, his expression was grim and full of murderous intent.
The head Watcher looked at them and seed to sigh. He then looked at Ancestor Rivervale and asked, "You sure you want to take this path?"
Ancestor Rivervale didn't hesitate and nodded, "Yes. It's been a long enough ti."
The head Watcher stared into the distance, his eyes glazing over as he said, "You are not wrong, but what you are going to do—"
He stopped mid-sentence before shaking his head. "I'm no one to judge you. Alright, I wish you luck."
Everyone was shocked and flabbergasted when they heard him.
What was going on? Wasn't he supposed to fight a bloody battle with them and stop them like it happened several tis before?
Why was he wishing them good luck now?
Robert and the Old Witch exchanged a glance, their expressions turning solemn. They then flew up.
"What do you think you are doing, Senior?" The Old Witch asked coldly.
Before the head Watcher could respond, though it seed like he wasn't going to, another voice sounded.
"Yeah, why don't you tell us, head Watcher? Just what do you think you are trying to do by allowing these ants to do as they please?"
Bang!
As everyone, except the head Watcher, turned to look at the temple, the doors slamd open from inside, and five cloaked figures flew up, imdiately circling Barren, Ancestor Rivervale, the Blood Demon ancestor, and… the head Watcher.
Ancestor Rivervale and the Blood Demon ancestor frowned when they saw the five figures. They didn't fear them because the strongest of them was just a high-stage Monarch but because there should be five monarch realm watchers in total. They were pretty sure of it because their old records told them that ever since the land was caged, there always had been just one Quasi-Supre and five Monarch rank watchers.
Robert and the Old Witch were in front of them while the other three hadn't acted and were only watching from the beginning while staying hidden near the temple, and even now they were still there.
This ant these five were new arrivals, and this was bad news for them.
'Do those people already know about what's going on here? Is this why the head Watcher isn't bothered to act against us and instead wished us good luck?'
Ancestor Rivervale and the Blood Demon ancestor frowned, imdiately dismissing the thought. From what they could see, this was clearly not the case.
Right then, their eyes flashed, and they placed their hands on Banner's shoulders.
The head Watcher watched on calmly, but the five cloaked figures frowned before imdiately rushing toward them.
Unfortunately for them… Banner and two ancestors abruptly disappeared from the place.
"A spatial mage?" Their well-concealed silver eyes flashed. Then one of them suddenly trembled and pointed toward the head Watcher, "Y- You allowed him to find the spatial tunnel's coordinates?"
The head Watcher swept an expressionless gaze across them before saying, "Be prepared."
As soon as his voice rang out, he disappeared, leaving the five to stand there in a daze. After a mont, when they realized what he ant, their pupils constricted.
They understood what he ant by those words.
It was they who broke the rules by coming here without permission and coincidentally allowed a genius spatial mage, who just happened to be here, to sense the spatial tunnel leading outside the forsaken land's sealing array.
While they could say the responsibility lay with the head Watcher because he allowed them to escape, they would be accepting it was their family—the Silverthorn—that broke the rule, which would result in their annihilation.
They looked at one another, secretly letting out a sigh of relief before their lips curled up.
Be prepared? They were already prepared.
Their cloaks weren't just ordinary cloth but higher-grade magic artifacts that perfectly concealed the wearer's identity from everyone below the Supre Realm experts.
Of course, there were so exceptions, but from what they know about the head Watcher from their investigation, he wasn't one among these exceptions, which ant he didn't know who they were.
As for when other powers investigated them, well, they could investigate and annihilate the party that broke the rule—the Xavier family—for all they cared.
Right then, the group that arrived with them walked out of the temple.
"So how are we going to find our target?" One of the five asked the high-stage Monarch, ignoring the gazes lingering on them.
The high-stage Monarch glanced at the group before sweeping his gaze across the emperor mages and demons that ca with Barren and Xyrus and were now trying to leave the place inconspicuously.
When they felt his gaze, their expressions hardened. Without their Monarchs, they would be helpless if these people wanted to kill them.
"Let's see if we can get a clue about his approximate location from them. After that we can use the bloodline detector to find him."
Since they didn't have a Domain Emperor family mber for them to perform [Bloodline Resonance Detection thod], even with the blood essence of the Domain Emperor family mbers they had in their possession, they couldn't pinpoint their target's location, especially when they didn't know how far they were from him.
If they were too far, the blood essence they had would burn out before finding him, a risk they couldn't afford to take.
So, they had no choice but to try to find so clues about his whereabouts first…
Buzz!
Right then, however, they heard a familiar buzzing sound and spread their divine senses inside the temple. Normally no one, not even the Quasi-Supres like Ancestor Rivervale, Blood Demon Ancestor, or even the head Watcher, could penetrate the ancient temples with their divine senses to see the situation inside, but because the door was now open, they faced no difficulty.
The mont their divine senses swept inside the temple, their expressions darkened and they exuded a murderous aura.
"The Xaviers dare betray us? They must be seeking death!" One of them said, his voice cold.
…
Inside the temple, the group of ten from the Domain Emperor family appeared in the formation.
The head Watcher narrowed his eyes and questioned, finding them sowhat familiar, "The Imperial Domain family?"
The temporary leader of the group, Luman Arcadius, a handso man with an extraordinary disposition and shoulder-length jet black hair, bowed slightly toward him, followed by others: "Greetings, Senior! We are indeed the descendants of the Imperial Domain Family."
"Mhm." The head Watcher nodded before asking in an emotionless voice while his eyes flickered, "Why are you here, and that too without permission?"
