As the matter involved the fate of the country, he had no choice but to spare the Mount Ymir Sect’s heir.
The leader of the Mount Ymir Sect was shocked.
The Elixir Pill’s formula had been given to him by the Four Hidden Sects.
If they gave it up, the Four Great Sects would surely crush them in response.
Due to his son’s recklessness, an even greater mistake had been made.
Therefore, he couldn’t stand for it. Even if his son had to die, they could not hand over the formula.
When he realized everyone was distracted, he charged at his son to kill him.
However, Mr. Collins, who had already been prepared for such an instance, blocked the leader of the Mount Ymir Sect, forcing him back.
“If you do anything rash, you will be executed on the spot.”
The leader bellowed, “You... you’re a useless son! Even if you die, we cannot hand over the formula. You will cause the downfall of the Four Great Martial Houses!”
The heir of the Mount Ymir Sect cried out, “Dad, I’m sorry! I-I... I have no other choice. I’m still young! I don’t want to die.”
Meanwhile, Zeke shot Sole Wolf a glance. “Take him away and get the Elixir Pill formula out of him.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Sole Wolf nodded resolutely before he led the Mount Ymir Sect’s heir into a break room.
As the matter related to the fate of Eurasia, Sole Wolf guarded him carefully.
Zeke declared, “Let’s continue. Whoever wants to challenge, please step out.”
At that moment, another non-affiliated martial artist stepped forward. “I would like to challenge the heir of the Beasts Sect. You coward, come out and face my wrath!”
The heir to the Beasts Sect walked out trembling. “Great Marshal, please have mercy. I’ll be willing to offer our sect’s secret technique in exchange for my life.”
Zeke queried, “Which secret technique?’
The Divine... Divine Palm-Strike.”
Meanwhile, the crowd that had just quietened down broke into a noisy commotion as they discussed the Divine Palm-Strike excitedly.
The value of Divine Palm-Strike was higher than that of the Elixir pill; it was the stuff of legends.
However, no one could prove that it existed, let alone claim to have trained in it.
Even Zeke couldn’t help but hold his breath in anticipation.
It appeared that the Four Great Martial Houses had a lot of valuable treasures hidden away.
If only they had known about it earlier, they would’ve come for the Four Great Martial Houses long ago.
The challenger smiled. “Great Marshal, if he’s willing to share the Divine Palm-Strike technique, I will hold back and not take his life.”
Zeke nodded slightly. “Very well.”
The Beasts Sect’s heir pleaded, “I yield, there’s no need to fight...”
However, the challenger still beat the heir to a pulp.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Beasts sect was in a dilemma.
If his son shared the Divine Palm-Strike technique, their family would be destroyed.
However, he dared not stop his son because he knew Killer Wolf and Mr. Collins were watching him like a hawk.
The only choice he had was to tell his powerful masters to resolve this situation personally.
If they didn’t come to their aid, the secrets of the Four Great Martial Houses would all be handed over to Zeke.
Hence, the leader of the Mount Ymir Sect contacted the Regent again.
However, the Regent did not pick up his call this time.
Feeling helpless, he called the Regent’s assistant and requested him to update the Regent on the current situation.
The Regent at his residence, worrying about whether the Great Marshal would trace the matter back to him and escalate the matter further.
Meanwhile, his assistant came running over. “Sir, I have bad news. The venue for the Martial Artist National Examination is in chaos...”
The Regent waved dismissively. “Ignore them. Let the Four Great Martial Houses deal with it themselves.”
Sacrificing the Four Houses to protect himself was well worth it.
The assistant then added, “But Sir, they’ve handed over the Elixir Pill’s formula and the Divine Palm-Strike technique. If you don’t deal with it, I’m afraid all the hidden treasures and secret techniques will be exposed to the public.”
What!
The Regent jumped up in shock.
All the secret ancient formulas and techniques are being divulged?
The Four Great Martial Houses are of no importance when compared to the ancient secrets they hold.
