Aydin Hatfield's face was ashen.

He never expected today's interception would result in this way!

Had he known earlier, he would have abandoned this assassination mission.

It was such a blow to morale.

Scanning the surroundings, Aydin Hatfield understood what everyone was thinking, and after pondering for two seconds, he said: "Don't be discouraged, it's merely a powerful magical treasure. We came to the Heavenly Demon Continent to temporarily avoid direct confrontation. All we need is to wait for some time for reinforcements from our sect; neither Nico Weaver nor this pagoda can stop our advance!"

The crowd listened to Aydin Hatfield's words, and their expressions improved slightly.

Yes, as formidable as Carson Flores is, he's ultimately just a Golden Immortal Early Stage. His escape was only due to that powerful pagoda.

Maggie Fitzgerald gritted her teeth and said, "That pagoda may have extraordinary defensive power, but it doesn't have strong attack power, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't need to run; he would attack us directly. After all, isn't the Celestial Palace currently hunting us down? Capturing us would be a good thing, wouldn't it?"

Ricky Butler nodded: "That should be the case, don't be depressed. In this age, anyone who stands out must have some life-saving skills; otherwise, they would have died a thousand times by now."

The crowd pondered and agreed; indeed, there are countless powerful magical treasures in the world, and the person just managed to escape for their life.

Seeing the crowd's expressions improving, Aydin Hatfield said, "Let's go, according to the original plan, to lay low for a while."

They whooshed away swiftly.

Above the Heavenly Dome, the Ethereal Pagoda floated in mid-air, its shrunken form completely inconspicuous.

"They've left."

Inside the main hall of the pagoda, Delarosa calmly opened her eyes.

Although she was inside the pagoda, she was one with it, and the outside movements couldn't be concealed from her.

"Should we chase them?"

Carson Flores smiled and said, "Forget it. We're isolated here with no support; chasing them won't do any good. Besides, they're just a bunch of homeless dogs now. I guess they came to the Heavenly Demon Continent precisely to escape the hunt."

"We should be more wary of their Three Saints Sect backing them. I think they've already requested help from their sect and are currently waiting for reinforcements."

Delarosa nodded, "Then go on!"

Carson Flores smiled, "Delarosa, thanks. If it weren't for you, escaping from that bandits' den wouldn't have been so easy this time."

Delarosa gave a slight smile: "The Ethereal Pagoda's defense is strong, but its attack power is relatively weak compared to its defensive capabilities. It can keep you safe, but it can't pursue enemies. You need to grow quickly, and once you advance to the Great Land stage, you can completely control the Ethereal Pagoda and unleash its true power."

Carson Flores laughed, "Soon, very soon!"

Carson Flores and Selah Ellison Immortal Lord left the Ethereal Pagoda, which again transformed into a golden light and entered Carson Flores's forehead.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord murmured in admiration, "The Ethereal Pagoda's defense is truly amazing; even with so many people's magical treasures bombarding it together, it remained unharmed and even directly smashed through a blockade…"

Carson Flores chuckled, "If she hadn't blocked the way, it wouldn't have been so easy to smash through her."

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord looked on with complicated feelings, "You really are lucky to encounter an Innate Spiritual Treasure with an Artifact Spirit in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm and even gain its approval."

Carson Flores laughed, "Indeed, it's good fortune. Or maybe Delarosa thought I looked handsome and kind-hearted..."

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord was amused, "Or maybe it's because you have thick skin."

The two continued their journey toward the Heavenly Fox Palace.

The Heavenly Fox Palace was nestled among a range of lofty mountains with numerous towering trees covering the sky; the whole mountain range was lush and verdant.

Carson Flores reported his identity as an Immortal Palace Envoy and was quickly welcomed in, guided all the way to the grand hall of the Heavenly Fox Palace.

In the grand hall, Palace Master Lucille Austin of the Heavenly Fox Palace sat surrounded by the palace's high-ranking officials. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, making Carson Flores's eyes light up.

It's often said that the women of the fox clan are enchanting and the men are dashing, and the ancients did not deceive me!

"Immortal Palace Envoy Carson Flores greets Palace Master Lucille."

Lucille Austin, tall and slender, was in her middle age but exuded a charisma no less than that of a young girl. Her mature beauty made Carson Flores wary of looking too much.

Looking too long would cause his heart to race, which would be quite awkward.

Lucille Austin smiled slightly, "Envoy Carson, as an envoy of the Celestial Palace, you're a distinguished guest of our Heavenly Fox Palace. There's no need for formalities; please, have a seat!"

Carson Flores boldly took a seat, while Lucille Austin's gaze fell on Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, looking somewhat surprised.

"Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, we meet again. Have you joined the Celestial Palace now?"

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord shook her head and pointed at Carson Flores, "I'm here in the Heavenly Demon Continent on some personal matters and accompanying him along the way."

Lucille Austin smiled, "Since you're here, you're a distinguished guest as well, please take a seat!"

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord sat down next to Carson Flores, and Lucille Austin asked with a smile, "The Celestial Palace has not been involved with matters of the Heavenly Demon Continent for a long time. What brings the envoy here this time?"

Carson Flores replied with a smile, "Palace Master Lucille, it wasn't anything major initially, just some updates, but we were ambushed outside the Heavenly Fox Palace, making things a bit complicated."

Lucille Austin's expression changed slightly, "Who ambushed you outside the Heavenly Fox Palace?"

Carson Flores answered, "Aydin Hatfield, the Alliance Hierarch of the Heavenly Alliance, and a group of high-ranking members..."
