Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277: The Breaker
"Haha! A bunch of ignorant fools!"
Seeing the white smoke scatter, Granny Xihua burst into laughter with a face full of disdain: "Today, let Medicine King Valley invite you all for tea and a chat."
According to the original plan, this brocade box should have been presented to the King of The North Sea by Elwood Thorneycroft after Baylor Davenport’s wedding ceremony was completed.
At that time, the poison smoke would spread, briefly causing everyone in the hall to lose their ability to act.
Since Everton Davenport’s skills were always a mystery, Isabella Warm specifically instructed that Everton Davenport must be the one to open it himself.
Otherwise, it would likely be impossible to subdue this sovereign of The North Sea.
But now, the brocade box exploded in mid-air.
Right above Everton Davenport’s head.
"Despicable!"
Okello Yarrow knelt on one knee, his head covered in cold sweat.
The moment he inhaled the poison smoke, he felt his body being hollowed out.
Trying to stand, but unable to actually stand up.
And the others like Gavin Cook weren’t faring much better.
Dozens of powerful individuals from major sects, including those from the martial world, collapsed on the ground one after another.
Everton Davenport quickly covered his nose and mouth upon hearing the words of Ishmael Will, but it was still a half step too late.
"Bead Pulse, what is the meaning of this!"
He asked angrily.
This night, almost everyone had backstabbed him!
His own court officials, members of sects who came to offer congratulations, and Isabella Warm, who claimed to present him with the Divine Dragon Tripod!
"Heh, we just..."
Granny Xihua had barely started speaking when her complexion turned pitch black in an instant.
Thud!
Her legs went weak, and she too collapsed to the ground.
"No, this is not our poison..."
What was originally in the brocade box was a specially concocted poison by Medicine King Valley.
Before coming here, Elwood Thorneycroft, Granny Xihua, and Devlin had already taken an antidote.
They should not have been affected by the theory.
Now that Granny Xihua had also been hit, it meant the medicine inside had been switched by someone!
"Who... Who is it!"
Granny Xihua looked at Elwood Thorneycroft, asking furiously.
But Elwood Thorneycroft was likewise leaning on the chair, motionless.
It seemed...
He was also poisoned.
The entire great hall, including Everton Davenport and Ishmael Will, one and all.
Lay on the ground like corpses.
"Ugh!"
Everton Davenport groaned and slowly stood up.
Back then on the podium of King Sealing, Arhat of Homicide, although hit by Absolute Dust, still managed to muster all his strength to flee for his life.
Now—
Everton Davenport attempted to break free from the restraints!
Absolute Dust!
Those poisoned felt limp all over.
Though Everton Davenport was without strength, he was able to stand up by steadying his breath.
Such terrifying strength caused the complexions of the people from the sects to change drastically!
"Everton Davenport, this is a misunderstanding!"
Okello Yarrow recovered quickly after a brief moment of stun, and said with an awkward smile towards Everton Davenport: "It seems, you truly are the King of The North Sea. What just happened was a misunderstanding. You must know, we all come from major sects. If you could show us some leniency, this matter would count as us owing you a favor."
Brazen and shameless!
These were the words Everton Davenport wanted to say most.
But he simply couldn’t utter them.
Okello Yarrow was not wrong; the people present had major sects behind them.
If he really hurt one of them, The North Sea would be making enemies with the sect that person belonged to.
One West Sea was already troublesome enough for him.
If he were to accrue more enemies...
Although Everton Davenport harbored hatred, he could only let it be.
"Has someone conspired against the sovereign?"
Just when the atmosphere was at an impasse, a voice came from the entrance of the great hall.
Julius Reed, dressed in the groom’s attire, looked at the guests who were now unable to move and walked briskly forward.
"Son-in-law?"
Everton Davenport frowned slightly and spoke: "Where is the princess?"
"Can’t get out of bed."
Julius Reed spoke indifferently.
Having been whipped by him, Baylor Davenport, a pampered young miss, would undoubtedly have a bruised backside.
But to others, these words took on a different connotation.
"Watch your words, don’t be inappropriate!"
Everton Davenport’s face turned red as he rebuked aloud.
How could such matters between men and women be mentioned outright?
"Your Majesty, when I arrived, I probably heard your words."
Julius Reed pondered whether or not to immediately arrest Everton Davenport for a slow interrogation.
And then take control of the sect members present.
But just as he was considering this.
Someone else arrived outside the door.
"I’m late, please forgive me."
When this voice sounded, Julius Reed’s brow furrowed slightly.
Elaenor Wood!
He turned around, just in time to see an old and a young standing at the door.
"Absolute Dust?"
Elaenor Wood took a light sniff, a smile appearing on his face: "You can’t misuse the things from Medicine King Valley."
With that, he flung his sleeve violently, and a stream of black smoke shot out from within!
It quickly dispersed in the air.
"Hiss!"
Granny Xihua, who was near the doorway, inhaled the black smoke first, feeling her strength considerably restored instantly.
"Causing a scene?"
Julius Reed naturally knew this was the antidote for Absolute Dust.
Elaenor Wood’s decision to make a move at this moment was clearly meant to sabotage his own plans.
"Not really."
Responding to his question this way, Elaenor Wood walked over to a chair and sat down slowly.
The white paper fan in his hand suddenly opened.
"It’s just... to disgust you."
Elaenor Wood said with a smile.
"You’ve changed."
Julius Reed said expressionlessly.
In his memory, Elaenor Wood disdained such actions.
Things that couldn’t shake one’s foundation were meaningless.
"I learned it from you." Elaenor Wood shrugged his shoulders, somewhat helplessly: "But I’ve found that it feels really good!"
He fanned himself with the white paper fan as he spoke.
"Hiss!"
While the two were casually talking, the sect members on the ground began to take deep breaths.
With each breath, their internal strength increased by a notch.
"In my territory of The North Sea, you dare to plot against the King of The North Sea! How audacious!"
Julius Reed turned around, no longer paying attention to Elaenor Wood.
"Haha, we were just trying to help and wrongfully blamed the King of The North Sea." Okello Yarrow slowly stood up from the ground and spoke somewhat awkwardly: "We will take our leave!"
The Divine Dragon Tripod was a fake.
Their pretext for assassinating the King of The North Sea had also been lost in the candid conversation just now.
Staying here, there was no point.
Moreover, they had all seen Everton Davenport’s abilities with their own eyes.
Very strong.
"Did I say you could leave?"
Julius Reed extended a hand, blocking Okello Yarrow’s path.
Since Elaenor Wood interfered, he could only think of another method.
The sects seemed to no longer listen to the control of Demarco Mount.
They didn’t even regard him, the Holy Lord, in their eyes.
Since that was the case, Julius Reed decided to use The North Sea to weed out those disobedient sects.
"The King of The North Sea hasn’t said a word, who do you think you are?"
Okello Yarrow had already been holding back his anger, and coupled with his guilt, he was desperate to leave.
"West Tower, about this matter..."
Even though Everton Davenport was highly reluctant, he didn’t want to make an enemy of Mount Shu.
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean!"
Julius Reed smiled faintly, and with a fierce reach of his right hand,
he immediately grabbed Okello Yarrow by the neck and slammed him hard against the ground!
Whoosh!
This elder from Mount Shu was caught off guard and ended up bleeding from the seven orifices.
"The King of The South Sea, the newly promoted son-in-law, the Dragon Slayer, also General Whitaker, bearing the seals of the Right and Left Minister, the guardian of the monarch, Jorvik Reed, is ordered to kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Julius Reed stomped down hard!
Crack!
Okello Yarrow’s head instantly turned into mush.
The entire room fell silent.
Everton Davenport raised his finger, his eyes widened, trembling and speechless.
That was, after all, Mount Shu...
It’s over.
