God Of War Dad

The strength of the Hall of Jade directly determined the difficulty for Sean to find his father Parker Mason and seize the Phoenix Gallbladder!

“Hmm, I know a little!” Sandals nodded and said, “It’s precisely because I know a little that I kept reminding you earlier – wanting to take the Phoenix Gallbladder from their hands is simply harder than reaching the heavens!”

“From what I know!”

“The Middleland where the Shirine Empire is located has a total of 125 big and small countries. And the Hall of Jade is the number one dark force in Middleland!”

“The Hall of Jade claims to have 3, 000 generals under its command, all of whom are at least in the late stage of dark energy cultivation, spread across almost every country in Middleland. Their power stretches everywhere with eyes and ears. Their influence has grown to a point where people shudder at the mere mention of them!”

“For example,”

“They established the Global Bank, hiding behind the scenes while secretly controlling the finances of the world!”

“At the same time,”

“They hold so-called underground auctions, privately selling large quantities of magic weapons and elixirs, not just to make a fortune, but also obtaining the background information and secrets of countless aristocratic families, which is equivalent to seizing the fatal weaknesses of those families. If needed, with one order from them, I’m afraid the major families of Middleland would not dare disobey, and would all become their vassals and puppets!”

“Moreover,”

“They set up the Golden Price List to recruit practitioners from all walks of life to work for them, in order to achieve their hidden purposes…”

The Golden Price List! The Global Bank! The underground auctions!

Sure enough! These three massive organizations were all secretly controlled by the Hall of Jade!

The endless wealth, the overbearing power over the world, the connections to control kingdoms… Without exaggeration, all these things that were unattainable and even unimaginable to ordinary people, the Hall of Jade had them all!

The Hall of Jade! Fully deserving of its reputation as the number one dark force in Middleland!!!

Although he had some prior understanding and mental preparation regarding the Hall of Jade, hearing Sandal’s description still sent shockwaves through Sean’s mind and he found it hard to calm down. His already sullen face became even gloomier!

“These are still just the periphery,”

Sandals paused briefly before continuing, “The core members of the Hall of Jade total thirteen people. Among them, twelve are peak experts at the Confluence Realm, known as the Twelve Demons. Each oversees three hundred of the three thousand generals of the Hall of Jade, taking charge of affairs in ten countries in the Middleland!”

“The remaining one,”

“Is the master of the Hall of Jade. He is mysterious and rarely shows himself. Other than the Twelve Demons, even the three thousand generals of the Hall of Jade do not know his true identity and actual strength!”

“In fact,”

“They don’t even know what he looks like!”

“In simple terms, the only people who can meet the master of the Hall of Jade are either his confidants or they’re already dead!”

“However,”

“Since this person can rein in the Twelve Demons at the Confluence Realm and firmly sit as the master, it’s not hard to guess that he is likely an ultra boss at the Harmonization Realm!!!”

The Harmonization Realm!

Damn! The Harmonization Realm!!!

According to Sandals’ earlier remarks, there was no one in the entire world who could reach Luminescence. Harmonization was already the limit of practitioners. In that case, wasn’t the master of the Hall of Jade a true grand master standing at the pinnacle of cultivation???

No wonder!

No wonder King Ron said that even at the height of his strength, he could not join the Hall of Jade and become a core member. It wasn’t because he was too weak, but because the Hall of Jade was too strong, unimaginably strong, with the threshold for core members being the terrifying Confluence Realm!

No wonder!

No wonder the Phoenix Gallbladder fell into the hands of the Hall of Jade yet no one dared to snatch it, with the Twelve Demons at the Confluence Realm and the likely Harmonization Realm Hall of Jade master overseeing, who the hell would still dare to covet the Phoenix Gallbladder?

Yet Sean had to snatch it, and had no choice but to snatch it – for Cecilia, for his wife, for Parker Mason, for his father, even if it was dangerous, he still had to try!

He had absolutely no room to back down!

However, Sean was also realistic. He knew that with his current strength, compared to such a colossal monster like the Hall of Jade, it was tantamount to a mayfly trying to shake a tree, or smashing eggs against rocks – completely inadequate!

Therefore, instead of hurrying to think of how to deal with the Hall of Jade, Sean frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as he asked, “Aunt Sandals, according to you, the three thousand generals of the Hall of Jade are all at least late-stage Dark Energy and below Bright Realm. The Twelve Demons are all at the Confluence Realm. Then…”

“What about the Consolidation Realm?”

“Could it be,”

“That they don’t have anyone at this stage?”

That’s right! Even between complete Dark Energy and Confluence, there was still the Consolidation Realm in between. But from Sandals’ words, it sounded as if there was a gap?

“There are!”

“Of course there are!”

Sandals first nodded, then shook her head and said solemnly, “It’s just that…”

“How do I put it!”

“The hearts of men are unpredictable. Perhaps to prevent betrayal, there are very harsh promotion criteria within the Hall of Jade!”

“For example,”

“They would never recruit outsiders at the Consolidation Realm. Only selecting from the three thousand generals. If someone among the three thousand enters the Bright Realm, then they would be assigned to rule over a country!”

“In Middleland, many of the rulers were actually elites who rose from the ranks of the three thousand generals of the Hall of Jade. It’s just that the ordinary citizens of those countries don’t know about it!”

“As for the specific list, I don’t know either!”

“All I know is,”

“Albert Sitwell, the ruler of the North Kingdom who has long tried to encroach on the territory of the Shirine Empire, is one of them!”

Upon hearing this! Sean’s heart couldn’t help but shudder violently!

Albert Sitwell!

Previously on the northern battlefield, Sean had fought desperately for a full five years under the moniker General Wolf of the North. He valiantly blocked the armies of the North Kingdom outside the borders of the Shirine Empire. As an opponent, Sean was naturally very familiar with the name Albert Sitwell!

The ruler of the North Kingdom! The lord of a nation! Just like King Ron, a heroic and wise warlord!

However, after fighting the North Kingdom army for five full years, killing countless North Kingdom generals by his own hands, Sean did not know that Albert Sitwell, the ruler of the North Kingdom, was actually a man of the Hall of Jade!!!

Amidst the shock, Sean asked, “Since Albert Sitwell is one of the Hall of Jade, why didn’t the Hall of Jade take action personally when they wanted to invade the Shirine Empire?”

This point was very strange!

With the terrifying power of the Hall of Jade, annihilating the Shirine Empire would be no difficult task. Yet they did not do so. On the contrary, they only let Albert Sitwell fight so painstakingly for so many years, and damn it, he still failed to conquer it. This did not seem to make sense!

“Can’t figure it out?”

“Hehe!”

“The reason is actually very simple!”

Sandals said coldly, “There are so many rulers in Middleland, most of them are at the Consolidation Realm. Although the Hall of Jade has people infiltrating them, after all it’s only a minority. Once the Hall of Jade recklessly slaughters the rulers and invades other countries, how would the remaining rulers think?”

When the time came, everyone was on edge. They feared that if the various factions banded together, Middleland would surely descend into chaos that even the mighty Hall of Jade would struggle to control. Thus, as long as no one infringed upon Hall of Jade’s interests or touched their reverse scales, Hall of Jade would not deliberately target any one country. This was a kind of balancing act and an unspoken rule.

Firstly, to Hall of Jade, Middleland was merely a tool for them to amass wealth and power, and a training ground for them to nurture battle generals under their command. The reason they allowed battle generals who entered the Bright Realm to become rulers of nations was purely to temper them through experience, to live or perish, survive or die, all based on their own abilities. If they lacked the capability, even if others killed them, no one would feel pity. This was inherently part of Hall of Jade’s system of promotion. The law of the jungle prevailed – survival of the fittest and victor as king.

After listening to Sandal’s explanation, Sean finally understood completely, gaining an even deeper comprehension of Hall of Jade. Frankly speaking, Hall of Jade viewed the entirety of Middleland as a massive chessboard, playing an extremely expansive game of chess that was countless times larger than what King Ron had played previously. The weak were like ants. All nations were merely chess pieces. Sean realized the more he understood about Hall of Jade, the more it inevitably gave rise to a sense of despair!

Damn! With just himself alone, how could Sean contend against Hall of Jade??? The disparity was far too great! So great that it dampened his morale and fighting spirit. So great that it made him lose heart. At this moment, the excitement and ardour that Sean had shown earlier after first hearing about the Phoenix Gallbladder was nowhere to be seen on his face and in his eyes. Sandals sighed lightly and said, “It’s too difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven! Wanting to obtain the Phoenix Gallbladder from Hall of Jade is over a hundred times more difficult than killing that scoundrel King Ron!”

“Now, you should perhaps reconsider which method to use to save Cecilia!”

Although Sandals also hoped to use the Phoenix Gallbladder to treat Cecilia, to allow Cecilia to inherit the Phoenix bloodline and catch up to Sean in her cultivation, to be able to fight alongside Sean as a pair, she didn’t quite hope for Sean to take on such tremendous risks to complete what was practically an impossible mission!

Surely if Cecilia knew, she also wouldn’t want Sean to go to his death for her sake? If, heaven forbid, Sean went but ended up dying at Hall of Jade’s hands, how would Sandals explain it to Cecilia when she revived her using the first method later? How could Cecilia possibly bear such a tremendous blow???

Between reality and ideals, the distance seems very near, yet there is always an insurmountable chasm that can cause 99. 99% of people to halt in their steps!

“No need to consider anymore!” After roughly five seconds of silence, Sean raised his head to look at Sandals, his deep eyes radiating unmatched resolve, gritting his teeth and saying, “Aunt Sandals, I’ve already made up my mind! I will raid Hall of Jade and obtain the Phoenix Gallbladder. If I do not succeed, I die with honor!”

As before, Sean had absolutely no reason or room to retreat in the face of his wife’s future and his father’s whereabouts. The so-called danger was not enough to make him hesitate.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

He was Sean! General Wolf of the North! An iron-boned man!

He would be the 0. 01% to accomplish a near impossible mission!

He would head towards the tiger’s den on the mountain, even knowing there were tigers!

This was Sean! The word “fear” did not exist in his dictionary!!!

“But you…” Meeting Sean’s extremely resolute gaze and seeing his disregard for death, hearing his fearless words, Sandals’ heart skipped a beat as her expression drastically changed. She instinctively wanted to dissuade him, however, Sean did not give her the chance. He swiftly spoke first, “Aunt Sandals, I have one last question. Since the Phoenix Gallbladder has fallen into Hall of Jade’s hands, and Hall of Jade’s master has unfathomable cultivation, possibly reaching the pinnacle, why doesn’t he refine the gallbladder himself and inherit the Phoenix bloodline?”

This was crucial! If after painstaking difficulties and a ninety-nine percent chance of death infiltrating Hall of Jade, Sean discovered the Phoenix Gallbladder had already been refined by Hall of Jade’s master beforehand, that would be f*cking awkward!

“He can’t do it!” Facing Sean’s doubt, Sandals confidently said, “Master once said with his own mouth that the Fire Phoenix was an ancient divine beast subjugated by the Heavenly Gods. Without the Sword of God’s assistance, no one can refine the Phoenix Gallbladder!”

“Not even Hall of Jade’s master, even if he truly reached the Harmonization stage, could accomplish it!”

Clearly, Sandals deeply believed Liane’s words.

“That’s good then.” Sean was naturally not suspicious either. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “So you’re saying, the fact that only the Sword of God can refine the Phoenix Gallbladder is something Hall of Jade does not know?”

“Otherwise, they should have already sent people to take the Sword of God from Hill of Swords long ago right?”

With just Sandals and the others guarding Hill of Swords, if Hall of Jade attacked in full force and sent the Twelve Demons to steal it, Sandals and the others could not have defended until now!

“Correct!” As expected, Sandals nodded and said, “Master only told this secret to me and Isabella. Now that Master has departed and Isabella perished, I should be the only person left in this world who knows it!”

“Now, you are the second!”

Having said this, Sandals stared at Sean before pulling the conversation back to the original topic, her expression solemn as she said, “Sean, if you are determined to risk death and attempt this, I will not stop you!”

“But the preconditions are, you must promise me two conditions!”

Sean was startled. Then he asked, “What conditions?”

“Firstly,” Sandals said, “With Cecilia’s current condition, placing her within the aura range of the Sword of God and personally protecting her, she should be able to last about a year!”

“So, I will give you half a year. Remain at Hill of Swords, focus on cultivating. Within half a year, if your strength can surpass mine, then for the remaining half year you may leave Hill of Swords and attempt Hall of Jade!”

“I am currently at the late stage of Consolidation, nearing perfection. But your bloodline is powerful and far beyond ordinary. Only by defeating me, when you enter Hall of Jade and encounter the Twelve Demons at Confluence, will you have a fighting chance and the possibility of protecting yourself!”

“I absolutely will not stand by and watch you go to your death!”

Upon hearing this, Sean’s heart stirred. He naturally knew Aunt Sandals was worried about his safety. Hence, after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “Alright. With the Sword of God’s aura assisting me, I should be able to accomplish that in half a year.”

“What about the second condition?”

Sandals turned and walked towards the stone passageway the white clothed women had departed from earlier. As she walked, she said, “Hall of Jade has one master, the Twelve Demons, three thousand battle generals, like a dragon’s pond and tiger’s den. You alone cannot do it. You must groom confidantes beforehand to accompany you and assist your endeavors!”

“Thus, you must become the Master of Hall of Swords!”

Although Sandals’ voice was not loud, her tone was exceptionally firm and brooked no dissent.

What??? Sean was instantly dumbfounded, his face darkening. F*ck, was this forcing him to take over? If those white clothed women, especially little girls like Spring and Winter, knew that Sean who was their enemy just moments ago had suddenly become their master, he truly did not know what expressions they would have! How would they react???
