God Of War Dad

Hill of Swords! Over a thousand meters high!

At an altitude close to 4, 000 meters, the air was thin on the ninth layer and the mountain winds were piercingly cold!

At this time! The younger generation of Taylor family and Smith family had all entered the caves of the sixth, seventh and eighth layers. The only ones still following Sean were Pupil Wolf, Shadow Wolf, Spirit Wolf, Tim Lewis, Julia and Howard Taylor, Karen Smith from Smith family, plus another Complete Stage cultivator from Smith family!

Later! When Sean enters the caves of Hill of Swords, he will naturally bring Cecilia and Phyllis along.

Just right!

The remaining eight caves on the ninth layer, one for each of the eight of them!

“Go in!”

When they passed the first cave on the ninth layer, Karen Smith signaled to the other Smith family Complete Stage cultivator. Although Howard Taylor’s cultivation was lower than theirs, his relationship with Sean was closer, so they voluntarily let Howard Taylor go first.

However!

When they reached the second cave on the ninth layer, just as Karen Smith was about to go in herself, Howard Taylor suddenly said, “Mr. Smith, this cave is mine…”

After saying that, he rushed in before Karen Smith without any hesitation!

Obviously! The difference in their cultivations was clear. Howard Taylor was really too ashamed.

Karen Smith was stunned for a moment, immediately understanding Howard Taylor’s intention, and did not stop him!

Only at the third cave did Karen Smith go in!

Next! Shadow Wolf, Spirit Wolf, Pupil Wolf… they each entered a cave as they passed it. When they reached the seventh cave on the ninth layer, Tim Lewis nodded at Sean, then strode into the cave!

Sean, carrying Cecilia with Phyllis by his side, now only had Julia left with him!

“Julia!”

Since leaving the imperial capital, Sean had also completely changed how he addressed her, no longer calling her Princess Julia, no longer seeing Julia as a princess. He turned back and looked at Julia, asking:

“You have the royal bloodline, although you have never cultivated, growing up in the environment you must know how to activate your own bloodline, right?”

“Mm!”

Julia nodded and said, “I think I can do it!”

Even if she had never eaten pork, she must have seen pigs run before.

Moreover! Julia had grown up in the “pigpen” since she was a child, surrounded by many dark energy “pigs”. Just because she had not learned did not mean she did not understand the essentials!

“That’s good then!”

Sean reminded her: “It takes consistent effort over time to accomplish anything. Cultivation is the same!”

“Entering this cave!”

“Activate your own bloodline!”

“From now on!”

“The path of cultivation is long and arduous, with countless thorns and bumps, completely different from your previous life as a pampered princess. You have to think it through clearly!”

Yes!

On one hand was being an imperial princess, living in luxury.

On the other was wandering destitute, eating and sleeping exposed to the elements.

Truly worlds apart!

“I understand!”

Julia nodded again, her expression and tone extremely determined, “My mind is set, I have no regrets even if I die!”

As a woman, Julia’s body may be weak, but her mind and personality were extremely tough!

This point!

Could be seen from how she was determined to sever ties with her father Adam!

At this time!

The few of them had arrived at the entrance of the eighth cave on the ninth layer.

“Alright!”

Sean did not try to persuade her further, signaling for her to go, “Go on!”

“Go start your new life!”

Julia looked into the brightly lit caves of Hill of Swords for a few moments, then gritted her teeth and turned around, striding resolutely in alone!

Just as Sean said!

With this one step,

Julia!

Would start her new life!!!

After seeing Julia’s figure disappear into the unfathomable depths of the Hill of Swords cave, Sean continued along the path forward. His family of three walked on the cliffs of Hill of Swords, a scene both warm yet somewhat sad!

“Dad!” Phyllis suddenly asked, “They’ve all gone into the caves!”

“We’re also going into the cave!”

“Then!”

“We’ll be able to save mom, right?”

Yes!

By going into the cave, would they be able to save Cecilia?

Sean was also asking himself this!

“We can!”

Sean smiled down at Phyllis, boosting her morale and his own as well, nodding and saying, “Definitely!”

“Mm-hmm!”

“Then dad, let’s hurry, let’s hurry!”

“Xiaomo can’t wait any longer!”

Saying that!

Phyllis quickened her pace, cheerfully skipping towards the last Hill of Swords cave against the biting mountain winds, brimming with excitement!

Fifty meters!

The last cave above the ninth layer was also the cave closest to the summit of the entire Hill of Swords, yet even so, the vertical distance between that cave and the summit was still around fifty meters!

And the path!

Was only built up to the entrance of the last cave, ending abruptly here!

“That’s it?”

Sean stopped in his tracks, looking up towards the summit of Hill of Swords, waves of doubt surging up in his heart. He wondered to himself: “Why does the path only go this far?”

“Could it be!”

“That when the ancestors of the major families in Swordland first built this path, they never thought of, never tried, extending the path all the way to the summit of Hill of Swords?”

“Or could it be!”

“As their self-proclaimed descendants of the gods, they didn’t want to go take a look at the scenery on the summit of Hill of Swords?”

“Or is it that!”

“The summit of Hill of Swords holds some unknown secrets, so much so that they don’t want to go up, can’t go up, or even dare not go up there???”

These doubts!

Made Sean even more intrigued about the summit of Hill of Swords!

Later!

He must go take a look no matter what!!!

“Dad!”

“Dad hurry up!”

“Hurry hurry!”

Phyllis only had saving her mother on her mind, so naturally she wouldn’t pay attention to the summit of Hill of Swords. While Sean was lost in thought, Phyllis had already run into the cave, continuously waving at Sean!

And so!

Carrying Cecilia, Sean also went in!

The Hill of Swords caves were oval-shaped, around three meters in diameter. The surrounding rock walls were uneven, still bearing obvious traces of excavation without any deliberate embellishing!

Above the cave ceiling, a row of incandescent lights were strung up, almost one every five meters, illuminating the interior of the cave clear as day!

Just as Howard Taylor had said before!

The deeper they went!

The stronger that bizarre attraction became. As a Bright Realm powerhouse, Sean could feel it even more profoundly!

After going in eighty meters deep!

Sean even had to stimulate the Bright Energy in his core to resist that powerful attraction!

On the contrary, Phyllis was!

Extremely relaxed and happy!

Although she had her bloodline prematurely activated by Reid feeding her Colored Glaze Holy Water, Sean later found Ladies Star Grass and forcefully suppressed her bloodline with its medicinal effects!

Therefore! That attraction had very little effect on her!

Soon!

The family of three arrived at the end of the cave. Sean took a deep breath, calming his mind to sense his surroundings. He discovered that other than the aura being even richer here and the attraction even stronger, there was no obvious difference from the outside!

Aura!

Was extremely important for cultivators!

To what extent?

For example!

Previously, Sean had relied on medicinal baths to restore the Bright Energy in his core. That was actually continuously absorbing the meager traces of aura contained within those medicinal materials to nurture and enrich his body!

However!

Compared to the tiny bit of aura those medicinal materials contained, the aura within the Hill of Swords caves was richer by who knows how many folds!

The effect was naturally far beyond what those materials could compare to!

“Huh?”

Phyllis looked all around and quickly frowned, asking in confusion, “Dad, how come there’s no one in this mountain cave?”

“No one!”

“Then how are we going to save mom???”

Sean squatted down, laying the unconscious Cecilia flat on the stone floor. Just as he was about to explain to Phyllis, right at this moment!

Disaster struck!

Boom!

Without any warning, a loud boom suddenly sounded from within the cave!NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

And!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom boom boom…

Not just one!

Continuous deafening blasts rang out inside the cave. Not only the cave Sean was in, with his superhuman hearing and perception, he could clearly sense that some of the explosive sounds were transmitted from other caves in Hill of Swords!

It was like a string of firecrackers!

The booming of thousands of cannons!

Almost at the same instant as the explosive sounds suddenly rang out, even the ground beneath his feet began to faintly tremble, giving the sensation that it was an earthquake!

“Crap!!!”

The sudden disaster made Sean’s heart pound violently. His expression drastically changed as he reflexively picked Cecilia up again, while grabbing hold of Phyllis with his other hand!

“What’s going on?”

“Dad!”

“What’s happening?”

Phyllis was also badly frightened, holding on tightly to Sean, not daring to let go!

The next moment!

All the incandescent lights in the Hill of Swords cave went out, plunging the entire cave into boundless darkness in an instant. And in the moment the lights went out, Sean saw an iron gate rise up from the rocks beneath the ground across from him dozens of meters away, sealing off the entire cave exit!

Damn!!!

A torrent of raging fury erupted from Sean’s heart!

Iron gate!

It was actually an iron gate!

This meant!

The explosive sounds from earlier and the tremors beneath his feet were definitely not some bullshit earthquake, but rather, there were actually many mechanisms and traps built within these Hill of Swords caves!!!

The Hill of Swords caves!

Were excavated by the ancestors of the major families in Swordland!

Then!

Who built these mechanisms?

Who else could it be???

Since the mechanisms were artificially designed, they must also be artificially controlled!

Then!

Who was the malicious one, taking this chance to seal Sean and the others inside the Hill of Swords caves?

Who else could it be???

Almost subconsciously, Sean thought of Ernest Mason and the ten major families of Swordland. They had absolute control over Hill of Swords. If anyone could activate the mechanisms within Hill of Swords, it could only be them!

Damn!

Bastards!!!

Was it because Sean had charged through the ten major families just now? Was it because he had utterly disgraced them? Was it because Sean’s appearance had disrupted their plans?

So!

Were they taking this chance to retaliate against Sean and the others, or even completely eliminate them???

Sean truly regretted right now!

Regretted showing mercy earlier, only injuring those bastards instead of killing them!!!
