Chapter 709: A Lie

(Unedited)

…

A battle suddenly ensues inside the registration hall of the inner part of the town of Gipard. A young woman is standing in front of a young man with her two knives drawn. Meanwhile in front of her is a young man with a long sword.

The two have already exchanged a few blows and on the young man's face is a thin line of the wound where his golden blood slowly seeps out.

The young man's eyes have a murderous look on them. After the young man exchanges a round of bickering with the young woman behind the young man named Linhua, the bickering suddenly escalated to a fight between the two guys.

However, Alea did not want to see the guy that she likes getting hurt. So she immediately moved and fought against the young man.

The young man is called James Osmond of the Osmond clan. He is a son of a rich Lord from the clan and was born in the immortal just like Alea and most of the people in the town.

That's right; the reason for the town's power and strength is because of the locals who were born in the immortal land. As the Osmond clan practices polygamy, the number of children being born in the clan is far too many. And this is the source of strength of the Osmond clan's territory.

Hence fights like this are normal for the people as they watch the two with interest. Some of the guards even created a barrier to prevent anyone from getting hurt.

Shin Jiao on the other hand also watches with interest. He didn't know how to react at this time as he watches Alea Zin protect the man behind her, while another woman is clinging to that man's arm and throwing a fiery gaze at her.

Although he has experienced being with two women before, yet he is the one protecting them and not the other way around. So he was really curious about Alea's action.

Suddenly from beside him, two people began discussing.

"Alea is too fierce. She is both strong and beautiful. I wish she would look at me like how she looks at that Linhua."

"Haha… Well, at least you already have a partner. As for me, I can't seem to get anyone to be my Dao companion… Sigh."

"Well, that's because you are weird… Haha…"

"Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, who do you think will win?"

"In the fight, Alea of course. But how could she face that James Osmond's father who is a local lord? I think she just courted death this time."

"Sigh… well, that's the reason why that Linhua guy did not act. Who would dare fight against a lord?"

Shin Jiao now have an inkling of the background of the young man. But from what he has heard from the discussion of Alea and that guy named James Osmond before he walks away and finished his registration, that James Osmond fellow is not against Alea Zin. In fact, he is scolding the young woman clinging behind that Linhua guy.

But he did not have time to ask and just decided to watch what's going to happen next.

…

Meanwhile, outside of the town, wave after wave of the combined enemy soldiers began assaulting the walls, while in the air the local lords have already made their move.

The High Elven Princess and the general of the combined army have also entered the fray along with the other generals from the enemy side.

The battle was too chaotic and many are dying on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the high lord who is here to assist Gipard town looks at the carnage happening while standing stop a tall building along with the others behind him.

"The combined army of the high elves and the Zith'ra clan is really a great threat to us humans. If we are not here, this town would really fall judging from the result of this battle." A woman with the cultivation of a lord said while standing behind the high lord.

"Hmmm… you are right. The army is more numerous than I thought and their power is greater than us. We have to intervene now before everything is too late." The high lord said.

He then lifted his hand and gestured for the rest of the people behind him to make their move. Along with his gesture, the people behind him suddenly disappear.

"High Elves and Zith'ra races… Do you think you can enslave us, humans? Just because we do not show our power in the battle outside the universe, you all treat us as weaklings…" he muttered with a sneer.

After that, his figure also suddenly disappears.

When the high lord and the other lords with him made their move, the combined army of the enemy along with their generals and leaders was suddenly at a disadvantage.

The lands they are fighting were immediately destroyed by powerful blasts of energy coming from the combatants. The forests, mountains, and the rivers, all of them were shattered by the might of the powerful force of the combatants fighting against each other.

Inside the town, a large tremor can be felt by everyone except for those living in the inner part of the town which is protected by another layer of a barrier.

The inner part of the town seems like another world that is isolated from the real one. This is because of the enchantment array that is protecting the inner part of Gipard Town where the rich, the powerful, and the government along with the leaders of the town, stays.

…

Meanwhile, inside the registration office, the battle between James and Alea is getting intense as the two have already exchanged hundreds of blows and both are feeling exhausted.

In the midst of her weakness, Alea Zin is currently panting as if gasping for air. This is her way of absorbing the universe's energy into her body as she felt that she has used almost half of her power in this exchange.

Suddenly, she did not expect that behind her, a long whip would fly out and hit her back.

Alea Zin was immediately thrown towards the barrier wall which surprised everyone watching the fight.

A long gash could be seen on her back that even her white bones are exposed in the air. Shin Jiao who was watching the fight frowns upon seeing this. He did not expect to see the young woman hiding behind that Linhua guy to attack Alea who is fighting for them.

"I have enough of this… do you think that because you are strong you can show off your strength in front of Linhua? Do you think he would be swayed and take you in our home just because you fought for him? Dream on!" the young woman shouted as she steps forward.

James Osmond who saw this showed a sneer on his face. He is already in a sorry state with wounds all over his body. If not for Alea holding back, he would have already been defeated. However, who would have known that the people she is protecting would stab her at the back. What an irony…

Ughhh…

Alea groaned as she picks herself up and looks at the young woman in disbelief.

"Marie… that's enough… You…" suddenly Linhua Bai step forward to stop the woman.

"You… are you protecting her now? Do you want to also have her as your wife?" the young woman suddenly shouted with her expression showing that she was wronged.

"It's… I… I…" Linhua stuttered as he didn't know what to say.

Linhua Bai belongs to the Long clan as he was taken by one of the local lords who decided to train him as a disciple because of his physique and Dao roots. He is a very talented cultivator and showed great promise.

After less than 300 years of training even though he was not given enough benefit and energy core, he still reached level 76 which is gold armored protector strength.

Then one day, his master introduced him to a young woman from the Vin clan, Marie Alduin. She is also a very talented immortal who already reached level 71 in less than 200 years. With the lack of resources and the alchemist association being too overbearing, she can be considered as one of the most talented immortals in the town.

The two hit it off really well and have developed being Dao companions for a time. However, one day, while on a mission, Linhua was rescued by a beautiful young woman. And that was the first time he and Alea Zin met.

In the days they were together something blossomed between them and the two fell in love. However, when they reached the town, Alea discovers that Linhua already has a Dao companion, and this devastated her.

But after some musing, she decided that she loves Linhua and could not bear to be away from him. And since the Osmond clan territory permits polygamy, then she thought that it was okay to be with him.

She would rather be with the man she loves than be married to someone she did not meet before. It was her heart that's overpowering her rational thinking.

She was really hopeful and thus at the sign of seeing an opportunity to defend the man she loves, she decided to take her bet.

However, it was futile…

She could see that Linhua would not dare to fight against Marie. And this scene made her feel really hurt. Although she was wounded, it did not hurt her that much. The thing that is hurting the most at this time is her heart.

Seeing the man she loves could not even defend her, a line of tear unconsciously slid down her fair cheeks. It really hurt her so bad that she seems to be having a hard time breathing.

Her eyes turned misty and emotions could be clearly seen on her face.

'I will love you and want to be with you no matter what…'

'I wish for us to be together forever, in this world and in the next…'

'We will spend our lives together…'

'I will only love you… eternally…'

Those sweet words echoed in her mind as her gaze landed on that man in front of her. She recalled that day; they were under the bright moon and whispering sweet nothing to each other. Her heart feels warm, and this is the reason why she decided to be with him.

However, what is this?

What is she seeing right now?

Where is that love? Where is that... spending eternity together?...

Are those just words, but for her, they feel like the truth?

Yet now, she knew...

Now she is aware...

Now she understands, that it was all...

a lie…
