Chapter 292: The Fall of the Empire Divine Edge

Precepts?

Knight Sir, you got strong just by relying on this, right?

That's right.

Jierte nodded, though he didn't know whether observing the precepts would work for the cat, but it wasn't a big problem; giving it a try wouldn't hurt.

By continually observing our Gordon Family's precepts, one can gain great power.

Da Mao perked up her ears at the neighboring table, eavesdropping; how Jierte became so strong had always been her biggest curiosity.

But after her investigation, this single-minded knight seemed to be merely doing some normal training and challenging the strong here; besides that, there was nothing particularly special.

But looking at it now, his behavior, called observing the precepts, could this be the reason why everyone in the Gordon family is a monster?

Thinking of that, Da Mao no longer hesitated, lifted her tray and rushed over.

Jie Ge, could you also teach me?

?

Where did you get that weird nickname?

Ah, don't worry about those details!

Da Mao waved her hand indifferently; she just thought it was fun to call him that.

You want to learn?

Please, Jie Ge! I really want to get stronger!

That's fine.

Thus, Da Mao also joined your special training with the Blue Sapphire, putting in extraordinary effort, and you also changed your view of that usually odd fellow.

And you weren't idle either; your strength in this faction had already approached the top tier, so great power naturally entails greater responsibilities, and now you've become a busy person in this organization.

You must not only observe your own precepts and go slay evil, but also continually carry out the organization's missions.

However, your execution isn't without cost; if you weren't able to often see signs of your aunt's improving health, you wouldn't willingly undertake the missions.

It must be said, the medical care here is indeed top-notch; they not only stabilized your aunt's life, but also managed to let her communicate with you briefly in writing, which also satisfied you.

Yet the Blue Sapphire and Da Mao almost cracked when trying to observe the precepts; they did grow a bit stronger, but nowhere near that miraculous effect, and this strength was merely due to the boost from self-discipline.

A century-old question was settled: whether the precepts work because of the Gordon family's bloodline, but in fact you have no Gordon blood, and you didn't know that, attributing it to your own bloodline instead.

Your aunt's body improved day by day, and each day brought more hope, but just as you were enjoying this hard-won peace, an accident finally came.

The legendary knight, head of the Gordon family, the Empire's current strongest, your father, sacrificed himself on the heavenly disaster battlefield.

This news shocked you immensely; you couldn't imagine why your immensely strong father would suddenly meet with disaster, not even a hint beforehand.

The last time you saw him was a few months ago; by then you had already started your post here, only occasionally returning home to see your parents and sister, and back then your father was still immensely strong, showing no sign of weakness.

You asked leave from your boss, returned after a long absence to your hometown, but all you found was that cold, black coffin....

Your father... really died.

During this time, you've been concerned about your aunt's affairs; regarding that immensely strong father, you never thought he would come to harm, nor did you imagine he would lose in the very strength he prided himself on.

To be able to slay such a mighty Empire Divine Edge head-on, just how powerful must that fellow be?

Your father's death indirectly triggered many related events; those who had long held grievances against the Gordon family seized the chance to cause trouble, and now the Gordon family urgently needs a new head capable of holding the fort.

And this grave responsibility concerning the whole family's fate fell upon your uncle's shoulders; accustomed to wandering abroad, the unrestrained uncle was forced to take on this heavy duty, after all he is now the strongest person left in the Gordon family.

Your father's funeral was grand and solemn; the renown of the Empire Divine Edge spread far and wide, countless people lived under your father's protection, even the Empire's emperor came here to mourn your father, and at the funeral you saw Feili, who had become the current Saintess.

She smiled and greeted you; the girl had grown up considerably, her whole body exuding a gentle, warm aura, but you knew this wasn't her true self.

Out of courtesy, you politely replied and conversed normally with her; you could see she kept trying to get close to you, but you never responded to her feelings.

Feili departed gloomily, and you watched as black flames began to burn on her body, sighing helplessly.

Now you just want to seize your Golden Knight Spear, pierce Feili with a single thrust, and then ruthlessly boost your power.
