Chapter 732
Chapter 732
"Aaron Verdant, don't you think you're going too far?!"
"Too far?!"
"If the one who came today wasn't me, Aaron Verdant, but my brother Zael, tonight your Moonfall Clan's blood would flow like a river, and you would cease to exist!"
"I am giving you a chance ten breaths," Aaron Verdant replied faintly.
"..." Silvon gritted his teeth in silence. He cast a glance at Ethan.
Ethan merely smiled.
That smile nearly broke Silvon's defenses. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could strike and kill Ethan right this very second. But with Aaron Verdant here, he couldn't do anything.
"Ten."
"Nine."
"..."
"Three."
"Two."
Time ticked by second by second. Aaron Verdant's voice was like the whispers of the Grim Reaper, announcing the meager time left in their lives.
"Everyone from the Moonfall Clan, hear my command! Cripple one of your arms!"
Silvon ordered. Then, gritting his teeth with a look of deep resentment, he directly shattered his own left arm!
At the same time, all the Moonfall Clan members ground their teeth, their faces full of unwillingness. But they could do nothing but follow their Ancestor and cripple one of their own arms.
"Not bad. Silvon, your decision today has saved your Moonfall Clan. You will rejoice over tonight's choice in the future."
Aaron Verdant smiled faintly, returning to his normal, approachable image.
"My Moonfall Clan promises: within three hundred years, we shall absolutely not cross the Glacier Rift Valley!" Silvon declared again.
The other Moonfall Clan members followed suit, repeating the vow.
"Scram!" Aaron Verdant said plainly, then walked over to Ethan.
"Let's go!" Silvon lowered his head, his face gloomy, and led the Moonfall Clan members away.
With this, the farce came to an end. The Far North Ice Field would usher in a peace lasting three hundred years.
"Many thanks to Senior for the rescue. I, Ethan, have no way to repay you. If there is anywhere you need me in the future, please just name it. This junior will do his utmost," Ethan cupped his hands and bowed.
"Liora's friend is a friend of my Great Verdant. When a friend is in trouble, lending a helping hand is only right and proper," Aaron Verdant smiled.
"You are a very unusual young man. To be able to defeat a Perfect Supreme while only at the Upper Supreme realm... your future achievements will undoubtedly be extraordinary."
"I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before you surpass even me."
"If Liora and Zeon ever find themselves in trouble in the future, I hope you will lend a hand," Aaron Verdant added.
"Senior can rest assured on that front. You said it yourself: we are friends. When a friend is in trouble, how could I possibly just stand by and watch them die? However, with an expert like Senior in the Great Verdant, I'm afraid the moment you speak of will never arrive."
"Hahaha, you sure know how to speak, kid... But the affairs of this world are treacherous and unpredictable. Who can truly know what the future situation of the Oceanreach Continent will be like?" Aaron Verdant laughed twice.
"It's getting late, and I still have matters to attend to. I shall take my leave first."
"Safe travels, Senior."
"Safe travels, Uncle Aaron."
"Safe travels, Master."
Ethan, Zeon, and Liora cupped their hands.
Before their words had even finished, Aaron Verdant vanished into the night sky.
After Aaron Verdant left, the area fell completely silent.
Ethan stood in the night sky, looking around. Broken walls and ruins lay everywhere. A scene of utter desolation.
With the dust settled, the Moonfall Clan retreated in disgrace. Having lost a peerless genius like Lucien and over a third of their combat strength, they wouldn't recover in a short time.
As for that three-hundred-year agreement... anyone who wasn't a fool understood it was merely lip service.
The Moonfall Clan's ambitions were not dead. After Aaron Verdant left, they would undoubtedly recuperate while scheming in secret.
However, they shouldn't pose too much of a threat anymore. Because by the time the Moonfall Clan recovered, the Riverborn Clan and the other Ancient Clans would have amassed enough strength to face them head-on.
Following this battle, the Moonfall Clan's ambitions were exposed for all to see.
The clan factions of the Far North Ice Field weren't fools either.
Even if they had significant conflicts with one another in the past, in order to continue surviving peacefully in the Far North Ice Field, they would temporarily cast aside their grievances and unite.
In any case, no matter what happened, the Moonfall Clan had completely lost any possibility of dominating the Far North Ice Field.
Forget about rising to power again. In the future, just managing not to be dragged down by the other Ancient Clans would be considered a blessing from the heavens.
"This is the territory of the Riverborn Clan. The matter has concluded. If you are all not leaving, what are you still standing around watching?"
"Could it be you wish to exchange words with me?" Ethan asked as he looked around.
Although his voice was calm and gentle, it carried a powerful penetrating force that quickly spread across the night sky, falling into everyone's ears.
Hearing this, the onlookers exchanged fearful glances before hurriedly retreating.
How could they possibly dare to exchange pointers with Ethan? This was a ruthless man who had slain the Holy Son of the Moonfall Clan! As long as an Emperor Realm expert didn't appear, who could match him?
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The crowds rapidly dispersed. Hundreds of streaks of light departed from the Riverborn Clan's lands one after another.
At this time, the Silvermere Clan's Elder Boren approached Ethan and cupped his hands.
"Many thanks to Young Master Ethan for intervening to stop the Moonfall Clan from annexing the Riverborn Clan, thereby preventing the Far North Ice Field from plunging into a state of utter misery."
The others also cupped their hands and bowed. Their expressions and attitudes toward Ethan were incredibly respectful.
After all, in this world, strength was everything.
An expert at Ethan's level could essentially be considered invincible below the Emperor Realm. Although they didn't know his origins, his strength was right there for all to see.
If anyone provoked his displeasure, they would be in for a world of hell.
