“It doesn’t matter now. The entire city is in my hands. At my whim, everyone can die, including you of course. I’ve been praying all these years, hoping that you will not become a Holy See, and all has come true as I wished.”

“The City-protecting Array can suppress a Quasi-Saint but is useless against a Holy See. Had you truly crossed that realm, perhaps I would never have had a chance to become a Lord. It’s a pity that you’ve remained stuck here, enabling me to carry out my plan.”

Hearing this, Sandy Wexler asked in confusion, “Have I mistreated you? Why are you harboring such resentment now? I’ve always considered you my own and even planned to appoint you as my successor when I no longer wish to be the Lord.”

He could not understand. Or perhaps it might be that Jake Wexler hid his true intentions well. Having always been diligent and never arousing suspicion, his betrayal by the person he trusted most left a bitter taste in Sandy’s mouth.

“You indeed have not mistreated me. But I don’t need that pity. I want to reclaim what is rightfully mine, the position of Lord, which you happened to have seized. Have you ever thought about how much pain I must have been through back then?”

Jake Wexler gritted his teeth and chuckled coldly, “Not only did I lose the position of Lord, but I also had to feign unconcern about it. If you truly had a kind heart back then, you would not have challenged me, not faking your kindness by offering me the position of Vice Lord.”

“Past matters are complicated. But what you should not do is risk the lives of the city’s people. The City-protecting Array must not be activated! There’s no turning back once the array is on and if anything goes wrong, the lives of millions in this city will be lost in an instant.”

Sandy Wexler protested. That’s why he had been keeping the Array key all these years. The power of the City-protecting Array was immense and once activated, it might become impossible to deactivate. If it went out of control, the entire city would be leveled.

Jake Wexler simply shook his head, resolutely, “I don’t care. This City-protecting Array is my only chance to turn the tables and beat you. Now that I bonded with the Array Spirit with my blood, there’s no turning back. And the Array Spirit won’t turn back into a stone lion.”

“Now, witness the activation of the array.” Jake Wexler waved a broad hand. A stone lion sprung into the air from underneath the ground, and a huge golden barrier enveloped the entire Capital City. Above the City Wall, tens of thousands of blood-red mechanisms took form.

He then leaped up from the Lord’s Manor, “I’ll execute you with the array and become the new Lord of this city. Only your death can alleviate my resentment. Brace yourself for the impending terror.”

As a Quasi-Saint, Sandy Wexler naturally charged forward, attempting to knock down Jake Wexler with a Holy See divine skill. However, he barely approached within ten meters when a Divine Thunder from the array was aimed straight at him.

Just one strike almost critically injured Sandy Wexler, “The City-protecting Array is indeed terrifying. It can effortlessly kill anyone below the Holy See. Now this entire Capital City will be destroyed.”

Jake Wexler high above seemed to merge with the array. His surrounding stone lion emitted a long skyward howl, constantly gathering spiritual energy. Above the array, the thunderclouds in the Nine Heavens were rolling, seemingly alerting the Heavenly Dao due to these changes.

Logan in the inn naturally detected this. Seeing the terrifying array above, he shook his head knowing Jake Wexler had succeeded. To prevent this from being discovered by outsiders, he estimated that his fate would be the same as Sandy Wexler’s – being eliminated by the array.

As an Array Master himself, Logan knew better than anyone the horror of this City-protecting Array, a hundred times more powerful than the array he had constructed before. This array drew power from Holy See – it was likely made using a Holy See’s corpse.

Shaking his head, he was utterly discontented with Sandy Wexler, “Being an irresponsible Lord led to the current situation, involving us outsiders. Now we have to intervene. It’s truly infuriating.”

“Can it be solved?” Bart Cloud was shaking, sinking into panic. He could sense the Holy See’s power in the air, as if countless strong ones were watching him. He felt extremely oppressed.

“Hard to tell,” Logan responded heavily. After some thought, he continues, “We might be able to open a small barrier in the array and escape, but to destroy the array is virtually impossible. It’s a masterpiece crafted by several Holy Sees.”

However, it was difficult mainly because unless the array was destroyed, Jake Wexler would not let them escape. With the entire Capital City under his control, and their every move being watched, someone would need to hold off Jake Wexler.

In such circumstances, the city’s residents were in panic. Who would be willing to sacrifice themselves? Logan had complicated feelings. They might not have encountered this if they had left the city after settling the Nango Family issue.

“We can’t run away. The lives of millions of people in this city are at stake. We must try to save them. The people here are mostly kind-hearted under the management of the Lord. I don’t want this place to be destroyed.”
