Chapter 422: The Wolf Cubs have Arrived
In the next three days, dramatic changes took place in Swordland. The name Hall of Swords spread like thunder throughout the two provinces, causing huge waves of commotion among all the major families!
In an instant, people were filled with trepidation and discussions were rife everywhere!
Ernest Mason and others followed Karen Smith back to their own city. With the six Complete Stage cultivators from the major families, plus their own formidable forces, they were like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, unstoppable by anyone!
Taking this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Karen Smith made drastic changes, eliminating dissenters and almost completely annihilating the hostile forces of the Smith family. She achieved her own goals and killed the chicken to warn the monkeys, quickly establishing the absolute prestige of Hall of Swords, a perfect situation of hitting two birds with one stone!
At the same time, Spring brought Howard Taylor and others to the provincial capital. When the Harris family lost power and there was no leader in the provincial capital, with countless families eager to carve up the Harris family’s assets, she occupied the Harris family villa in an extremely powerful manner!
Subsequently, following the family list provided by Howard Taylor, she visited them one by one, defeating each, and set off a huge sensation of power building in the provincial capital!
Don’t want to submit?
Then I’ll fight until you submit!
Including Howard Taylor, although the Taylor family’s strongest only had late-stage Dark Energy, without even a single Complete Stage cultivator, but with Spring’s terrifying strength nearing the Bright Realm, she could easily defeat three, five, or even ten enemies.
So, in just three short days, the major and minor families were cleaned up neatly by Spring and Karen Smith’s forces. Intimidated, in order to protect themselves or hug Hall of Swords’ thighs, they eagerly and actively sought to join Hall of Swords!
And the minimum requirement to join Hall of Swords was that the family must have at least one Complete Stage cultivator as the backbone!
After all, Sean would soon be facing the terrifying overlord across Middleland, Hall of Jade. Even Complete Stage cultivators would be useless against such a formidable force like Hall of Jade. If a family didn’t even have a Complete Stage cultivator, they would just be a burden to Hall of Swords and completely useless!
This put Howard Taylor in an awkward position…
Damn, he was really freaking lucky!
Fortunately, the Taylor family and Spirit Wolf had some prior dealings. After Sean and the others arrived in Swordland, their first move was to stay at the Taylor family residence. Otherwise, with the Taylor family’s current strength, they wouldn’t even qualify to join Hall of Swords, let alone get to know Sean and become Sean’s “insider”!
This made Howard Taylor even more motivated. If his strength was lacking, he would make up for it in other areas and handle things well for Sean, striving to gain Sean’s favor…
…
While great turmoil and upheaval took place outside, it was extremely tranquil in Hill of Swords, like a paradise. In these three days, Sean cultivated with the white-clad women around the Sword of God every day, bathing in the divine light of the Sword of God and madly absorbing the rich spiritual energy emanating from it to enhance his own strength!
Day after day, enjoying it tirelessly!
The three days passed in a flash. At dawn on the fourth day, a loud rumbling suddenly came from overhead. The giant spirit formation at the peak of Hill of Swords was activated!
“They’re here!”
Sandals said softly with eyes closed, “Spring has brought your friends here!”
Before her voice fell, boulder-like elevators appeared in the valley of Hill of Swords. Atop them stood dozens of familiar figures, besides Spring, all were Bloody Wolf Group members whom Sean hadn’t seen for months!
“General Wolf!”
“General Wolf!”
“General Wolf!”
As Spring brought them down through the air, when they were still dozens of meters above the ground, those Bloody Wolf Group members called out in trembling yet excited voices.
General Wolf!
In the North, they had addressed Sean as General Wolf for years and their respect for him was ingrained deep in their bones. After Sean retired, it had been months since they directly addressed him as General Wolf!
A few months wasn’t long, but to them it felt like years!
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh…
With only ten odd meters left to the ground, they leapt down, like hungry wolves pouncing on prey. But when they reached Sean, instead of emotionally embracing him like normal people reuniting after a long separation, they swung their fists and bumped them with Sean’s one by one!
Then!
They also bumped fists with Pupil Wolf, Spirit Wolf and Shadow Wolf standing beside Sean!
This!
Was the etiquette they followed back in the army!
As men, as heroes!
Bleed but not cry!
Shed skin but not lose morale!
For the next half hour or so, Spring went up and down several times, bringing the Bloody Wolf Group members into the valley of Hill of Swords in three batches.
Three batches!
Thirty-eight people in total!
Of the eighty-one Bloody Wolf Group members, more than twenty had retired earlier. This time thirty-eight returned, adding up to sixty odd people. The rest had shed their blood and lost their lives forever on the North battlefield!
“Bloody Wolf Group members…”
“… Report to General Wolf! Please inspect us, General Wolf!!!”
The thirty-eight stood in four rows, neatly and uniformly, shouting in one voice that resonated like thunder, shocking the eardrums!
This scene!
In an instant!
Brought Sean back to the glorious days of fighting across the North battlefield, stirring his emotions. His face was stern as he stood before the Bloody Wolf Group members and said deeply, “Roll call!”
“One!”
“Two!”
“Three!”
“Four!”
The familiar feeling returned!
“At ease!”
After they finished roll call, Sean said heavily, “Born in troubled times, real men should build achievements and careers. Now, the Shirine Empire royal family has no place for the Bloody Wolf Group, so we’ll be self-reliant and make our own kingdom!”
“From now on!”
“Bloody Wolf Group!!!”
“With blood we swear!”
“Live and die together!!!”
Sean’s voice rumbled like muffled thunder, his tone brooking no dissent. His passionate speech stirred everyone’s emotions.
Not just the Bloody Wolf Group members, even the white-clad women sitting around on mats were slightly moved, casting surprised looks at Sean!
Clearly!
The deep camaraderie and brotherhood between Sean and the Bloody Wolf Group members greatly surprised them.
Were they all the General’s previous subordinates?
Although their cultivation bases weren’t impressive, their relationship with the General seemed very close!
After speaking for over ten minutes, Sean pointed to Sandals and introduced, “This is Aunt Sandals, a Bright Realm expert, her strength surpasses mine!”
“Ah?”
“Damn!”
“Bright Realm???”
The simple, straightforward words instantly shocked the Bloody Wolf Group members, frightening them stiff. After years killing enemies in the North battlefield, they naturally understood what the “Bright Realm expert” title represented and implied!
Moreover!
After entering the valley in Hill of Swords, they noticed the dozens of gorgeous beauties sitting around. They weren’t blind, so they had paid attention right away!
However!
Whether it was Sandals or Spring, and most of the white-clad women, their cultivation levels were much higher than the Bloody Wolf Group members. So without deliberately releasing their auras, the members couldn’t judge their true strength!
Now!
With just a casual point from Sean, it was a super terrifying Bright Realm expert. How could they not be shocked?
“Aunt Sandals!”
Still shocked, the Bloody Wolf Group members immediately bowed to Sandals. Not to mention Sandals’ terrifying strength, with just Sean addressing her as Aunt, it was enough for these wolf cubs to show sufficient respect!
“No need to be overly courteous!”
Sandals smiled generously, “Since you’re Sean’s comrades, you’re my juniors. No need to stand on ceremony here!”
“Thank you, Aunt Sandals!”
After thanking Sandals, the wolf cubs’ eyes lit up as they looked at the white-clad women, asking, “General Wolf, who are they…”
The battlefield in the North was almost all male soldiers. Women were rarer than exotic animals. These wolf cubs were all in their vigorous twenties, full of vigor and heroism. Having just left the battlefield and suddenly seeing so many gorgeous beauties, they naturally reacted like beasts catching a whiff of delicious prey!
“They are all Aunt Sandals’ disciples!”
“Now!”
“They are another important force under my command, called the White Army!”
Sean glared at the wolf cubs!
Damn!
Impulsive, truly impulsive!
“Disciples?”
“Them?”
“White… Army???”
Hearing Sean’s introduction, the wolf cubs were shocked again. Especially upon hearing “White Army”, the light in their eyes instantly vanished, leaving only thick disbelief!
In just a few months, General Wolf had gathered another force?
Moreover, one made up of women?
To be honest!
They felt sour!
“What’s with those looks of yours?”
Winter said unhappily, “My sisters are much stronger than you all. If you keep ogling them, beware of getting beaten up!”
Pfft!
Just as Winter’s voice fell, many wolf cubs couldn’t help laughing out loud. Although they couldn’t see through many of the white-clad women’s cultivation bases, based on experience, it was already quite impressive for such young women to have opened their meridians and started cultivation!
So!
They didn’t think much of it.
Besides!
After years of bloody battles in the North battlefield, dancing on the knife’s edge, even the North Kingdom army feared them!
Yet now!
They were actually being threatened face-to-face by a little girl like Winter!
This!
Left them feeling utterly humiliated!
At this moment!
Just as they started laughing, when the corners of their blossoming smiles had just curled up halfway, suddenly, accompanied by rumbling dark energy, over a dozen Complete Stage white-clad women simultaneously released their powerful auras!
In an instant!
The air within a radius of a dozen meters churned violently. They only felt tremendous pressure pouncing at them as an extremely strong sense of crisis arose. Their hearts shuddered violently and pupils constricted as they subconsciously retreated in shock!!!
Damn, damn, damn it all!!!
What was happening???
When the white-clad women released their auras, the wolf cubs naturally immediately discerned their cultivation levels!

Moreover!
Each and every one was at the damn Dark Energy Complete Stage!
One, two, three… As their shocked gazes quickly swept over, damn it, among the dozens of white-clad women, nearly half were genuine Complete Stage cultivators!!!
Gulp!
Gulp gulp gulp…
Faced with this scene, even the battle-hardened Bloody Wolf Group members, even these proud wolf cubs, couldn’t help madly swallowing their saliva!
Now!
Their gazes toward the white-clad women were no longer lustful!
They were truly…
Completely devoid of lust!
At the same time!
Their faces turned green, one greener than the next, like the lush greens of the bushes and grass in this paradise, oozing green oil!!!
“How is it?”
Seeing their reactions, Winter smiled smugly and raised her pink fist, shaking it at them. She lifted her exquisite little chin slightly and taunted, “Why aren’t you looking now?”
“Are you afraid of getting beaten up?”
Damn!
Damn it!
Damn it all!
Faced with Winter’s blatant provocation, the wolf cubs looked at each other, the green faces marked with the words “humiliation and disgrace”!
Damn it!
They had been rash, truly rash!
Sean stood there watching quietly, not stopping it. The reason was simple. Back in the North, most of the army were ordinary people, with dark energy cultivators being elites who could defeat groups of ten.
However!
Cultivators among the populace!
Outside the battlefield!
Were truly ferocious beasts, dragons and tigers in hiding!
So Sean wanted to take this chance, using the white-clad women’s hands and Winter’s mouth, to give them a good beating and let them understand the disparity, spurring them to progress quickly and catch up!
“General!”
It seemed Spring understood Sean’s intention. So before the shocked wolf cubs could react, she declared, “After three days of hard work, Hall of Swords’ name has spread across the South!”
Hall of Swords???
Hearing Spring, the wolf cubs’ eyelids jumped violently. Damn, what the hell was Hall of Swords???
