Chapter 27 Ambush
Outside Jade Cold Mountain, in the main hall of one of the castles, the patriarchs of the three major families—the Shirind family, the Robert family, and the Macias family—were gathered together. At this moment, they all stood respectfully behind a middle-aged man with silver hair.
Chief Shirind exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Raymond, my men have reported that Jag has indeed returned from Blue Maple City, and the Joyce family is actually preparing to wage war against us head-on."
The silver-haired middle-aged man, "Raymond," sneered, "Good thing he's back. I was afraid he'd cower in Blue Maple City and refuse to return. Since they want war, then let's fight! You're not afraid, are you?"
"Of course we're not afraid!"
The heads of the three major families all spoke.
Raymond said, "Then let's stick to the plan. I'll kill Jag, and the three of you can handle Amy. Three against one, you shouldn't be unable to manage, right?"
"Don't worry, Lord Raymond. Although Amy is a genius, how many years has she been cultivating? Her current strength is about the same as ours. She might not even be able to beat us in a one-on-one fight, let alone three against one."
Raymond said, "Very good. Kill Amy and Jag, and the Joyce family will naturally be destroyed. I don't care about their little bit of wealth; you three can divide it up."
"Thank you, Lord Raymond!"
"Let's get started!"
Raymond led the way out of the castle, followed closely by the heads of the three major families.
Immediately afterwards, one figure after another flew out from the three castles, hovering in mid-air, confronting the Joyce family's forces from a distance.
Nearly two thousand people flew out of each castle.
These people were all dressed in uniform, and their strength was at least that of a mid-level god, with the stronger ones even reaching the level of an upper-level god. They were clearly a uniformly trained army.
The three clan leaders and Raymond appeared at the forefront of these people.
"That's Raymond! Raymond, the patriarch of the Butler family!"
"My God, why is Raymond standing with them?"
"Raymond is a six-star demon-level powerhouse. How are we supposed to fight him?"
As soon as Raymond appeared, a gasp rang out from the Joyce family, and they were thrown into disarray.
Corey and the other high-ranking gods of the family all changed their expressions drastically, and panic and even despair appeared in Amy's eyes.
The Butler family is a well-known family power near Blue Maple City, and its patriarch, Raymond, is a six-star demon powerhouse who has been famous for many years.
None of the Joyce family members expected Raymond to cooperate with the three major families.
With Raymond around, the three major families don't even need to lift a finger; Raymond alone can sweep through the entire Joyce family.
"Lord Raymond, if the Butler family takes a liking to our Joyce family's refining method, we can offer it to you," Amy said loudly, suppressing her inner turmoil.
Now, the only solution she could think of was to agree to the other party's request and hand over the crafting methods for the Death Puppet and many other items.
To Amy's surprise, Raymond's face broke into a deeply mocking smile upon hearing her words: "The refining method? You think my Butler family doesn't have those things?"
"What does Lord Raymond want?" Amy asked, somewhat puzzled.
From the very beginning, when the three major families arrived at Jade Cold Mountain, their only request was the refining method.
If Raymond doesn't need it, why would he stand with the three major families?
"I want him dead!" Raymond pointed at Jagger with a face full of hatred.
Amy's expression changed drastically.
"Oh? So Raymond, you did this for me?" Jag looked at Raymond calmly.
The sudden appearance of a six-star demon powerhouse was indeed unexpected, but it wasn't enough to throw him off balance.
"Of course, I've wanted revenge for killing my son for a long time!" Raymond gritted his teeth.
"Kill your son?" Jag frowned; he couldn't remember.
If asked who among those he had killed was connected to the people present, the only person he could think of was Bateman of the Shirind family.
When registering for the Bauhinia Army, Jaeger and Bateman had an argument, and Jaeger ultimately killed Bateman during the competition.
However, Bateman was just an ordinary member of the Shirind family.
Raymond sneered, "It seems you've forgotten that in the Bauhinia Army competition, the opponent you ultimately defeated was my son."
Upon hearing this, the image of a young man in white flashed through Jag's mind.
"So it was him!"
Raymond said, "I don't care about what your Joyce family has to offer. I went to great lengths to cooperate with them just to lure your divine avatar out of Blue Maple City. Your strongest divine avatar is in the Purple Thorn Army, which I can't touch, but killing this divine avatar of yours will be enough to vent my anger."
Only then did Jagge understand why the three major families had been blocking Jade Cold Mountain without making a move; their real purpose was to wait for him to leave Blue Maple City.
"You seem very confident. Do you think you can kill me?" Jag smiled.
"Haha!" Raymond laughed loudly. "Why can't I kill an ordinary high-level god like you? If you didn't have the identity of the Purple Thorn Army, even if your strongest god avatar came, I would still kill you!"
Generally speaking, if a member of the Purple Thorn Army is killed, the Purple Thorn Army will retaliate, but that is only when they are on a mission.
If someone like Jeg is killed while fighting for his family, the Zijing Army won't care.
Hearing that Raymond's real target was Jaeger, Amy became extremely anxious and hurriedly transmitted her voice to Jaeger, "Little brother, you go quickly, I'll try my best to hold them off!"
Unable to think of a way to defeat Raymond, she could only try her best to cover Jag's escape.
When the three families first arrived at Jade Cold Mountain, Amy was prepared to hand over the crafting methods for items such as the Death God Puppet.
After all, the gap between the enemy and ourselves in terms of high-end combat power is too large, and the Joyce family has no chance of winning if they fight.
When Caius's divine avatar told her that Jage was coming back to join the battle, she was shocked. Her first reaction was that Jage already had the strength of a five-star demon.
She was both surprised and delighted. In that case, the two of them working together to deal with the three clan leaders would indeed be able to put up a fight.
Therefore, she called on her people to prepare for battle.
But in the current situation, even a five-star demon like Jag is useless.
"Sister, don't panic," Jag said calmly.
"Leave Raymond to me, I can kill him," Jag whispered to the high gods of the Joyce family, trying to bolster the morale of the others.
"Little brother, you..."
Amy and the other high-ranking gods of the Joyce family were stunned for a moment, wondering if they had misheard.
"That's right, I can kill him. Not only Raymond, but also the other three, including Shirind. Leave them to me. You guys can deal with the others."
"Little brother, you must be joking!" Amy said.
"You'll see," Jag said with a smile.
He didn't explain further, because Raymond was already charging at him.
"Jeg, prepare to die!"
Raymond held a long, cyan sword, its blade crackling with countless tiny arcs of electricity.
He suddenly chopped down.
A thunderous roar erupted, and a blade of lightning moved with incredible speed, reaching Jeger in the blink of an eye.
