Chapter 399 Destiny Cannot Be Denied

"Please... don't kill me..." At this moment, Taylor Harrett had already crawled up from the ground and continued to scramble forward.

Before he could finish his plea, a surge of sword energy pierced through his back, passing through his heart.

"You..." he struggled to utter a single word before collapsing to the ground, instantly losing his life.

"This is the fate of those who dare to bully Billy!" Ivy Chandler said calmly as she walked towards Humphrey Morse.

"Elder Second!" The disciples of Spirit Wing Pavilion also cried out in sorrow.

"I'm sorry, it was my momentary confusion. Please, noble lady..." Humphrey Morse knew he was no match for Ivy Chandler and chose not to run.

"In consideration of Harlan Holmes, I will spare your life, but for joining them in bullying Billy, you may escape death, but you cannot escape punishment!" Ivy Chandler's melodious voice interrupted his words. As her words fell, a surge of sword energy pierced Humphrey Morse's Dantian, shattering his cultivation completely.

Humphrey Morse spat out a mouthful of blood, once again sitting down like a deflated ball. Meanwhile, his formerly jet-black hair rapidly turned white, his skin wrinkled, and his overall vitality dwindled. He aged rapidly, appearing much older than before. Compared to the previously spirited Second Elder of the Morse family, he looked like a different person altogether. Humphrey Morse had lived for nearly two hundred years, relying on his continuously advancing martial arts cultivation. As long as he broke through the bottleneck of the Half-Step War God-Emperor in the next step, he had a chance to extend his life by another hundred years. But now, with his cultivation lost, his body's organs would naturally age rapidly, just like Inkforge. He wouldn't live more than a month.

"Elder Second!" Clara Morse ran over, tears streaming down her face.

"Young Miss, when you return, please tell the master, not to antagonize King of the West from now on..." Humphrey Morse struggled to speak. "In fact, we were all wrong... We, the ancient martial arts world, have always thought our status and position were above the secular world, looking down on it. But under the sky, there is no land that doesn't belong to Glavale. How can we deceive ourselves into thinking tha Glavale's fate is unrelated to ours. Lips die, teeth grow cold, such a simple truth, why couldn't we understand it..." He paused briefly before continuing. "King of the West is a gift from heaven, a great blessing for our country. I believe that under their leadership, our Glavale will regain its former prosperity..."

"Tell the patriarch... destiny cannot be denied..."

"I understand, I will relay this to my father!" Clara Morse nodded through her tears.

She naturally understood Humphrey Morse's current situation. Although Ivy Chandler hadn't killed him, she had destroyed his cultivation, and he didn't have long to live.

"Billy, Harlan Holmes is somewhat acceptable. For his sake, I'll grant you a few more years of life!" Ivy Chandler said softly. As her words fell, she flicked her slender wrist, and nine silver needles flew out from her hand, piercing into nine vital acupoints on Humphrey Morse's body.

Nine Needles of Secret Essences-truly an extraordinary life-extending technique.

"If you don't remove the needles, he'll live for nine more years. Remove one, and he'll lose a year." Ivy Chandler spoke again.

"Really...?" Clara Morse exclaimed in surprise, then quickly bowed and thanked her. "Thank you, thank you..."

"Thank you!" Humphrey Morse, who had been in despair, now showed a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Originally, if he couldn't break through to the War God-Emperor realm within five years, he would have had at most ten years left to live. And within those five years, he had no confidence in achieving that breakthrough. After all, he had been stuck at the Half-Step War God-Emperor for nearly thirty years without any progress. Now, even though he had lost his cultivation, he still had nine more years to live. For him, it was a blessing.

"All right, you can go now." Ivy Chandler waved her hand.

"Thank you again!" Humphrey Morse said before bowing deeply to Billy. "King of the West, I have offended you, and I apologize!"

"Thank you!" Clara Morse and other members of the Morse family also expressed their gratitude.

Then, they all walked down the mountain path.

"Billy, you don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands, do you?" Ivy Chandler turned to Billy and asked.

"Of course not, you handled it well." Billy replied with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved." Ivy Chandler smiled.

"Ivy, thanks again for what you did for Uncle Joshh= last time!" Billy continued to smile.

"That was a minor matter. Billy, you still remember it? I had already forgotten." Ivy Chandler smiled once more.

"Boss, Ivy!" Just then, Casey and Azure Dragon approached after dealing with the members of the Ink Pavilion. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Among the high-level combatants from Ink Pavilion, besides Inkforge, there were two lords of them, both at the Half-Step War Emperor level. And both of them had fallen to Casey's blade. The rest, who were at the War Grandmaster level, met the same fate at the hands of Azure Dragon and the others.

"Boss, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, it's been a while, and your cultivation has improved quite a bit!" Ivy Chandler smiled as she looked at them.

"All thanks to boss!" Black Tortoise grinned.

"Ivy, how did you come here?" Stout asked timidly, looking as though he was afraid of being taken back to the mountain.

"You're allowed to come and go now?" Ivy Chandler scolded her younger brother with a stern look.

"You didn't even come back for New Year's Eve. You've got bolder, huh? When Grandfather comes out of seclusion, I think you'll be in confinement for at least three months!" "No, Ivy!" Stout cried out. "Please talk to Grandpa for me. I came here to spend the New Year holiday with boss in Ozin, otherwise, he would be too lonely!"

Casey and the others heard Stout's shameless words and couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"Is that so?" Ivy Chandler glanced at him.

"Then ask Casey and the others. If at least one of them believes your words, I'll believe you!"

"Casey, please help me prove it!" Stout turned to Casey.

However, Casey and the others simultaneously turned their heads away.

"Boss, Ivy!" Azure Fang led four people over.

Ivy Chandler had previously spent some time in the Western Region and had already met SHADOW's Five Sharp Blades during that time, so she recognized them.

"Azure Fang, when are you and Frostblade going to hold the wedding banquet? Be sure to notify me when the time comes!" Ivy Chandler greeted them with a smile after exchanging pleasantries. "Don't worry, we will!" Azure Fang nodded enthusiastically.

"Ivy, you're making fun of me again." Frostblade blushed.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about anyway." Ivy Chandler responded with a smile.

"Boss, how should we deal with the remaining wanted criminals?" Azure Fang pointed to the representatives of the major sects not far away.
