Carlos Vernal’s pupils shrank sharply.
The shadows pooling in the corners of his eyes grew thicker, trembling with instinctive dread.
Every breath he inhaled burned violently in his lungs.
This heat—
This oppressive, ancient aura—
It terrified him.
The woman was no human.
Her blood carried a lineage too ancient, too savage, too overwhelming.
A transford tenth-level monster... And rely tenth-level—
But with the combat power of the Interdiate Supre Perfection.
Carlos Vernal felt his scalp numb.
With such a spiritual beast guarding the Blood Tavern, their chances of victory plumted to zero.
Seth Vernal might be arrogant, but even he wouldn’t dare face such an existence head-on.
If they continued—
They might die here today.
They had failed to capture the Blood Tavern personnel.
They had not seen Ethan.
They had not obtained a single clue.
But they had accomplished one objective—
They confird the Blood Tavern’s true strength.
That alone was enough to reshape future strategies.
Carlos forced himself to breathe steadily as he returned to his senses.
He swallowed his fear and looked at Latham across the battlefield.
"Haha... our Vernal family is the royal bloodline of the Vernal Dawn Dynasty. A ten thousand-year heritage, solid foundations."
Carlos sneered coldly, even though his chest burned from the flas.
"We only ca to retrieve an ignorant good-for-nothing boy. Why would we need outside help?"
His tone remained firm—false arrogance masking his dread.
"Myriad Treasure Pavilion, Blood Tavern—rember this. This land is far from your headquarters. We will not let you run wild here!"
Even at such a mont, Carlos Vernal’s mouth remained notoriously hard.
While speaking, he sent a ssage to Seth Vernal.
"Third Elder, the Blood Tavern’s trump card is revealed. A tenth-level Interdiate Supre beast. I cannot defeat her."
"I understand," Seth responded grimly.
"In addition to the Blood Marquis, this tavern even hides a Demon Lord. Truly cunning beyond expectations."
"We must retreat. Inform Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Only then can we craft the next plan."
He shifted backward carefully, eyes never leaving Uga, distancing himself inch by inch.
Carlos Vernal agreed.
"Tell Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to act quickly. Within three days at most, before Blood Tavern or Myriad Treasure Pavilion deploy reinforcents, we must seize the artifact."
"Otherwise, the operation will beco too troubleso."
"Retreat!" Seth Vernal ordered.
Both n moved in perfect synchrony—
A quick stagger back—
A burst of spiritual energy—
Then they turned and sprinted away like fleeing animals.
Uga’s lips curled upward...
Cold.
rciless.
Disdainful.
"Co when you want, leave when you want?"
"Do you take my Blood Tavern for a toilet?"
Her voice slashed across the sky like a blade of fla.
Uga leapt upward— her body igniting into a dazzling crimson blaze— and in a flash, she beca a streak of fire racing through the heavens.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared above the two fleeing Supres.
"Fla Hell."
Uga’s palm lifted, blood-red fire spiraling violently within it.
With a downward sweep—
WHOOOOOOOM—!!
The bloody flas erupted outward, splitting into a thousand strands before weaving into a massive net of fire that encapsulated the two n instantly.
Carlos and Seth Vernal were trapped like insects in a cage.
"So fast!" Seth Vernal hissed.
"This fla power—too strong!"
The heat scorched their skin, blistering the surface.
Inside their bodies, the temperature rose sharply— as if their organs were steaming in a furnace.
Seth Vernal gritted his teeth, forcing spiritual energy outward to form thick armor around his body.
Even so—
He could feel the burning.
The relentless agony.
The crushing pressure.
Beside him, Carlos Vernal roared.
He spread both arms.
Ice spiritual energy poured out violently, freezing the imdiate surroundings.
Massive ice blocks condensed around them, forming a temporary box of frost that barely resisted the flas.
But—
Hissssss—!
The ice began to lt instantly.
Within seconds, half the ice had liquefied.
"This won’t hold!" Carlos Vernal’s expression twisted.
"This woman... What kind of monster is she? An ancient species!?"
"I was careless," Seth Vernal said bitterly.
"This Demon Lord’s power is beyond estimation. I must contact Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets."
"But this will expose our cooperation," Carlos protested.
"We have no other choice."
Seth raised the jade pendant and poured spiritual energy into it.
Light flickered faintly—
A signal sent directly to Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
anwhile, Uga’s cold voice echoed above them.
"You dare bully my Blood Tavern?"
"How could I allow you to escape?"
"Today, leave one arm and one leg. Apologize to my people, and I will pretend this never happened."
"If not..."
Cold, rciless flas rippled behind her.
"Do not bla for being ruthless."
"The sword has no eyes. I do not guarantee your lives."
Seth Vernal let out a harsh laugh despite the lting ice around him.
"Apologize to ants? For what?"
"Woman, you’re strong—but keeping us here with only one ability? Too whimsical!"
Uga ignored his bluster.
Her fingers clenched lightly.
"Receive."
The fla net tightened instantly.
_CRAAAAACK—!!_
The shrinking pressure shattered another layer of ice.
In half a minute, only a fragile, thin shell remained.
Carlos Vernal’s eyes bulged.
"So strong!"
"This woman...!"
He began channeling power for a killing blow using his blood essence.
Seth Vernal silently cursed.
"Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, why haven’t they arrived yet!?"
Uga looked down upon them, aura towering, her crimson dress fluttering in the incinerating winds.
"Today, I will suppress you beneath the Blood Tavern."
"If your Vernal clan wishes to save you—"
"Let your clan leader co in person."
Her tone was so domineering that the sky trembled.
Just as the final layer of ice lted—
A calm voice drifted from afar.
"Miss Uga, they are guests. There is no need to be so harsh."
Four streams of light pierced across the sky, descending in front of Uga.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had arrived.
Uga’s gaze chilled instantly.
"This guest is your Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets’ guest."
"What"—her eyes flashed with fierce fire—
"does that have to do with my Blood Tavern?"
Her killing intent surged.
The Fla Hell roared—
Power rising sharply—
Burning away the remaining ice in an instant.
Carlos Vernal could no longer endure it.
He let out a furious roar—
Ignited his blood essence—
And his aura exploded, cold mist jetting from his breath.
