“The current ruler of the Caxton Continent is a close friend of mine. I only returned from level two after sensing the continent was in trouble. I originally planned to settle things with Winged Tiger City, but I didn’t expect to run into you all instead…”
“Now, my friend just contacted me through our spiritual link,. Someone is trying to forcibly seize control of the Caxton Continent!” Jemima explained everything honestly to Jared.
Since Jared had brought to the Pentacarna Tower, no longer treated as an outsider. She had let guard down around completely.
“It’s probably the people from the Eighth Hall. I’ll go with you to the Caxton Continent and see for myself,” Jared said.
After all, Jemima had helped so much. He couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Besides, also wanted to visit the human territories. Perhaps might even run into Josephine.
“I’ll go with you, Jared!” Madman suddenly chimed in.
“You should stay in Rhino City. You’re from the beast clans, so it’s not ideal for you to enter human territory.”
Jared then turned to Flaxseed. “Mr. Flaxseed, you should come with me as you’re human!”
“Ugh, do I have to keep running around with you? I nearly died this time! If I go with you, what about my two ladies?” Flaxseed grumbled.
“Bring them along. They’re human too. It is a perfect chance for them to return to a normal life on the Caxton Continent,” Jared replied.
After all, there was no point leaving those two women in Rhino City with nothing to do but wait around for Flaxseed every day.
“That works!” Flaxseed nodded after a moment of thought.
Jared didn’t waste any more time. He just said a quick goodbye to Maceo and left. He didn’t inform Eason, who was still lost in grief.
Jared had to find a way to get Catina into the celestial realm, someone to keep Eason company and ease his pain.
Jared and his group headed straight for the Caxton Continent, bringing Thorley with them as well. If the situation on the continent really was the Eighth Hall’s doing, they could use Thorley to threaten Braxton.

Meanwhile, the Caxton Continent had already fallen into chaos.
The arrival of the Eighth Hall’s Grand Elder had thrown the land into turmoil. Now, with Braxton personally leading his forces, the continent no longer had the strength to resist.
Within a grand, golden palace on the Caxton Continent, the kings of Its three biggest countries had gathered. Among them was Ashton Oneil, Aisha’s father.
They were all waiting for Nilou Blau, the overseer of Caxton Continent. However, after waiting for an entire day, there was still no sign of Nilou on the throne.
“I say we stop waiting and just submit. Even if the Lady shows up, she’s no match for those people. They’re celestials!” declared King Andre Cummings of Daprein as angrily rose to his feet, ready to leave.
Ashton furrowed his brows and said coldly, “Anyone who dares betray us will taste the edge of my blade.”
“What’s that supposed to mean, Ashton?” Andre snapped, eyes wide.
“You know exactly what I mean. If you want to be a traitor, I’ll be the first to oppose you. Our people of the Caxton Continent would rather die than submit. Haven’t the humans suffered enough all these years? It’s because of cowards like you that our race has become so pitiful,” Ashton growled.
“That’s nonsense! Say that again if you dare!” Andre shouted back, equally furious.
“Enough! Both of you, shut up and wait for the Lady’s word,” said the King of Chueles, Emre Pham as stood and tried to calm the situation.
Just then, the throne above them began to glow with blue light.
Upon witnessing the situation, the three of them promptly fell to their knees, bowing their heads in reverence.
A young girl in blue robes appeared on the throne.
