Chapter 5111 Returning The Property?
Chapter 5111 Returning The Property?
Evelynn remained silent for a long moment.
The rainwater dripped from the roof edges behind her while the Ethereal Lumina Tree swayed gently under the falling sunlight. Her black robes fluttered faintly in the silent yet chill breeze as she looked toward the mansion behind her.
Then she finally spoke, her voice seductively melodious, "Fine."
Both groups were startled.
"I will return this property to the Hayden Family." She added.
The first group's expressions immediately distorted.
"You dare!?"
*Bzzz!*
A terrifying surge of aura exploded from both sides.
The Primarch from the opposing faction instantly released his pressure as water energy soared while the Autarchs behind him drew their weapons without hesitation.
The Hayden Family cultivators also erupted with poisonous energy.
"You bastards still dare to rob us after the facts were made clear!?"
"Kill them!"
The street instantly descended into chaos.
The surrounding onlookers screamed and fled as violent waves of poison energy, darkness energy, and water energy exploded across the district.
The Primarch and Exalt from both sides shot into the sky almost immediately, neither willing to destroy the streets below and attract punishment from the city authorities. As long as they kept it a battle between Autarchs, the chances that they would attract punishment were less.
The curfew was just lifted, and the soldiers would be tired, so there was no guard nearby to take instant action.
Above the city's altitude but below the Ethereal Lumina Tree, two powerful cultivators erupted and collided violently.
Below, the Autarchs and Empyreans clashed directly.
Purple poison mist spread through the streets as they encompassed the first group, black serpentine shadows lunged across the top of the walls in response, and water dragons crashed into strange venomous constructs summoned by the Hayden Family.
The Hayden Family was initially at a disadvantage because the opposing force possessed slightly stronger Autarchs while their Empyreans were also older and weaker, forcing several of their members backward.
However, at that moment, Evelynn moved.
Her figure disappeared from the mansion entrance.
The next second, she appeared atop the entrance gate itself.
Her black robes fluttered while her purple eyes glowed faintly behind the mask. In her hand, a formation core appeared as the formation beneath the mansion suddenly trembled.
The pale gray walls lit up with layers of dark inscriptions as countless spatial runes emerged one after another like stars appearing within a moonless sky.
The surrounding temperature rapidly dropped.
The Hayden Family members looked up in astonishment.
"A darkness-spatial defensive formation!? How can she use it!?"
"Is she the owner of the mansion!?"
Evelynn stood atop the entrance gate while her black robes fluttered in the wind. Her jade-like fingers traced the air with terrifying precision, activating the mansion's formation as though she had controlled it for years.
The formation instantly expanded.
Darkness spread across the street like a silent tide, and the Autarchs abruptly felt their senses distort.
"What!?"
One of them slashed forward with a watery crescent blade, only for the attack to vanish into a spatial ripple and reappear behind him.
*Bang!*
He hastily tried to defend but was blasted forward by his own attack, incurring a poisonous water injury.
Another Autarch attempted to retreat but found the street behind him endlessly stretching away.
"Spatial maze!?" His pupils constricted.
The surrounding area began twisting unnaturally as the nearby buildings distorted, shadows elongated, and even sound became warped.
The mansion's defensive formation had transformed the entrance into a battlefield that appeared like a darkness-spatial domain.
The Hayden Family cultivators immediately seized the opportunity to start their counterattack after noticing that they weren't being attacked or suppressed.
"Kill them!"
Light purple-haired Empyreans lunged forward.
One enemy cultivator tried to evade but suddenly crashed into a condensed spatial wall hidden within the darkness.
Before he could recover, a Hayden Family's Empyrean pierced his abdomen with a spear made up of darkness energy.
Blood splattered across the street. Another enemy Autarch attempted to ascend into the sky, but the darkness around him abruptly folded inward.
*Crack!*
Space became compressed, causing his arm to explode into a spray of blood before he screamed in agony.
The enemy faction rapidly descended into chaos.
Their senses were disrupted, their movement techniques became unreliable, and even their communication became distorted within the darkness-spatial field.
Meanwhile, Evelynn remained calm atop the gate, hidden within the darkness domain and spatial maze.
Her purple eyes faintly glimmered beneath the veil as she manipulated the formation with frightening ease.
Although Fairy Qiyra Darkstar had replaced the defensive formation on the first day to have more protection, understanding darkness and spatial energy was still within her means after spending so much time with Davis and cultivating alongside him, not to mention battling with Isabella, Shirley, Mingzhi, and the others day after day.
As the first wife, she was also used to interacting with all kinds of formations to keep the family safe.
Suddenly, her eyes lost their glow, and her third vertical eye beyond the serpent mask's slit abnormally reacted by exuding three strange colors ranging from crimson, green and black.
Within her gaze were the Level Nine Autarchs of the enemy faction, the subordinate family of the Blackcurse Voidfang Eel Clan.
Her third eye's ability instantly fell on them en masse, but they didn't seem to notice, barely reacting.
The Primarch fighting in the sky suddenly noticed the situation below.
His expression instantly darkened.
"You little-!"
*Boom!~*
He forcefully repelled the Hayden Family Exalt before glaring downward with fury.
"Retreat!"
The enemy cultivators no longer dared to continue fighting.
Several Autarchs were already heavily injured while the formation continuously interfered with their movements. If they remained longer, they would truly die here.
The darkness-spatial field slowly weakened as Evelynn ceased channeling energy into it.
The distorted streets returned to normal, and the surviving enemy cultivators hastily gathered their injured before fleeing from the district with ugly expressions.
The Hayden Family members did not chase recklessly.
This was still the core city. They were given some freedom when it came to battles in the streets, but escalating matters further would only invite unnecessary trouble.
As silence gradually returned, all eyes turned toward Evelynn.
The Hayden Family cultivators stared at her with shock hidden beneath their respectful expressions.
A Level Three Empyrean controlling a darkness-spatial formation so skillfully was no ordinary matter since they knew even their formation masters might not perform this cleanly under pressure. She had destroyed them so easily and forced them to retreat.
The purple-haired man stepped forward and deeply cupped his fists.
"Young Mistress has greatly assisted our Hayden Family today. I wonder what your esteemed name is."
