The next second, Chester stepped forward to explain in a pained voice, "Come on, kiddo, you saw what happened. The killer's clearly trying to cause conflict between the Elysium Gate and you Langes. They've already made a move on Heather. You could be next for all you know."
"That's why it's safest for you to remain here. Got it?'
Veron finally understood their intentions at the words, and no longer retaliated against staying despite the haughty expression on her face.
Seeing as she was not saying anything more, Darryl exhaled lightly. He sent out a few orders, before heading to the Divine Dragon Clan at top speed with Ambrose and Heather in tow.
……
Over on another end, in the Wudang Sect.
Master Jade and the Wudang Sect elders sat in the main hall with dark expressions.
Despite Graham having managed to escape back successfully, Jacob had died a tragic death at the Lange household. This had been a huge blow to the Wudang Sect.
And just half an hour ago, they received news that the Langes had sent someone out to ask for help from the Elysium Gate. All at once, Master Jade was unbelievably panicked.
It was important to note that despite having lost a good amount of spirit in the battle against the Sea Dragon Palace, the Elysium Gate were still very much a force to be reckoned with. If the Langes were to receive the Elysium Gate's support, it would be extremely difficult for the Wudang Clan to avenge Jacob.
Yet what Master Jade did not know was that the 'Graham' sitting in the same room as him then had already had his soul usurped, and sitting before him was actually Prince Auten of the Godly Region Royals taking on Graham's form.
"Masters and elders!"
Just then, Prince Auten could not help but pipe up at the sight of everyone's distressed expressions. "So what if the Langes have the support of the Elysium Gate? I'll be sure to take every last one of them down once I've recovered my powers."
Sigh!
Master Jade's expression did not loosen up one bit. "You're still far too young, Graham, to understand how powerful the Elysium Gate is. We wouldn't be any match for them even if we were to fight with the combined strength of the entire Wudang Sect…"
Just as the words rang through the air, a loud crash sounded from outside as the ground outside the Wudang Sect entrance was flattened into the ground.
"Arghhh!"
Following that, the screams of the Wudang Sect pupils could be heard in the air.
