Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Three Families Joining Forces

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Kohen sighed heavily. “No wonder your family has forsaken the principle of peace over the past three centuries. Your family’s prodigies are now engaged in conflict with the Stone family.”

With the matter clarified, the tension within the Neal family eased.

“The Six-Winged Goddess,” Spero Neal remarked softly. “Even the legendary ancestors of the Foreman family have never attained such heights.”

Indeed, the Spirit Sea Foreman family’s first ancestor had only reached the four-winged level, paving the way for the emergence of a six-winged being.

It was no surprise that the Stone family elder had launched an attack.

With a goddess of such caliber, the Stone family would likely have to bow in submission once she ascended to her full potential.

Spero’s words furrowed the brows of the branch leaders.

If the Neal family were to rescue Eva Foreman, she would undoubtedly become a formidable ally, commanding respect from all the major forces in the Spirit Sea, including the Neal family.

Galliard Foreman sought to allay the Neal family’s concerns.

“Spero, your worries are understandable, but everyone has witnessed Braydon’s remarkable talent. With his ten-eyed dual-pupils awakened and having conquered the thirteenth stage of the Ivory Tower, his prowess rivals that of Eva. When Braydon cures her in the future, she will forever remember his kindness.”

“The Six-Winged Goddess of the Foreman family is not one to forget such deeds,” Galliard reassured, addressing the Neal family’s apprehensions.

However, Spero shook his head. “If Braydon were to cure Eva, it means he would be aiding a formidable adversary in the future. In our era, we are adversaries.”

“Only through competition can we forge new paths together,” he continued. “If the Neal family still harbors reservations, I am willing to decide on Eva’s behalf. If Braydon Neal can save her, she will take him as her spouse.”

Galliard clenched his teeth as he uttered those words, a bitter pill to swallow.

Both Kohen and Spero were taken aback.

Marriages outside the Neal family were typically prohibited due to their strong bloodline.

Violators of this rule faced expulsion or severe punishment.

However, the case of the Six-Winged Goddess was exceptional, given that even the Foreman family’s first ancestor had only achieved four wings.

This revelation stirred the entire Neal family.

But Kohen responded with a smile. “Galliard, your generosity knows no bounds. I’ve heard of your intention to betroth your esteemed daughter to Braydon.”

“But Braydon declined,” Galliard admitted with a bitter laugh.

As the two leaders conversed, they prioritized the interests of their respective families, a stance that no one found fault with.

As heads of their families, every decision they made was carefully considered in light of their family’s welfare.

Meanwhile, Braydon and his companions received orders to return to the family before nightfall.

“There’s still some time before dusk,” Braydon remarked, gazing at the sky. “I’d like to explore further and uncover any secrets hidden below.”

Wolfhart Neal, Jaromir Neal, and the others shared his curiosity and resolved to accompany him.

They would spend some time exploring before returning by nightfall.

Aware of the urgency surrounding Braydon’s safety, Lyon Foreman mobilized to ensure his protection at all costs.

Braydon’s well-being was intricately linked to the survival of the Six-Winged Goddess, Eva, whose condition was rapidly deteriorating due.

Despite the Foreman family’s betrothal of Eva to Braydon, she remained alive and retained her status as the daughter of the Foreman family.

If she were to align herself with the Neal family, she could safeguard the interests of the Foreman family in the future.

Such an alliance would foster a strong relationship between the Foreman family and the Neal family, two of the most formidable forces in the Spirit Sea.

Braydon, adorned with a silver mask, gazed out at the distant sea.

The area was densely populated, and the aura of sword Qi had notably diminished.

A decline in the sword Qi of high-level saint weapons signaled that individuals could descend into the depths below.

Representatives from the ten major factions had all congregated here, alongside numerous other factions from the Spirit Sea.

The surroundings felt akin to being encircled by wolves.

The frequent appearance of saint weapons in this sea region hinted at the presence of something extraordinary below.

If it were a treasure trove, the potential riches were enticing.

The ten dominant powers that had thrived in the Spirit Sea for millennia had once seized great opportunities, propelling their ascendancy.

Could obtaining a similar opportunity elevate the other factions to the ranks of the eleventh major force in the Spirit Sea?

In an instant, Braydon teleported over, while Wolfhart and the others opted to separate.

Travelling alongside Braydon would inevitably raise suspicions about his identity.

It seemed wiser to allow Braydon to roam alone in this territory.

Should Braydon encounter danger, assistance could be summoned promptly.

Braydon traversed the sea area incognito, his silver mask ensuring he attracted minimal attention.

After all, numerous lone wolves akin to Braydon roamed the Spirit Sea, making the region rife with itinerant cultivators.

However, itinerant cultivators were akin to scattered sand—they lacked cohesion and could hardly achieve significant feats.

Consequently, regardless of the circumstance, individuals from major factions paid little heed to these roving cultivators.

When a treasure emerged, rogue cultivators were typically excluded from participation, reserved only for those of considerable strength.

The weak struggled to defend themselves, let alone vie for treasures.

The representatives of various major factions fixed their gaze on the saint weapon at the sea bottom, among them members of the Stone family.

A glint of cold determination flickered in Lyon’s eyes as he harbored thoughts of vengeance.

His lips moved silently. “Torrance, Remington, the Stone family is present.”

“Are you suggesting we collaborate to eradicate the Stone family?” Torrance Siegel inquired with a playful glint in his eyes.

The Foreman family typically remained detached from worldly affairs and was renowned for their innate beauty, irrespective of gender.

However, over the past 300 years, tensions between the Foreman family and the Stone family had escalated.

Their encounters were marked by hostility, each encounter escalating into a deadly clash.

Although the Neal family understood the underlying cause of the conflict between the two families, it held little significance.

What mattered was the blood feud ignited when the Stone family slew Thirteen.

“With the combined might of our three families, we can vanquish the Stone family,” Remington Neal asserted calmly.

Torrance voiced no objections to the Neal family leading the charge.@@novelbin@@

The bonds between the Neal and Siegel families ran deep—they shared the same lineage.

An enemy of the Neal family was an enemy of the Siegel family.

The Siegel family harbored animosity toward the Stone family as well.

The leaders of the three families had already coordinated their plans.

Today marked the commencement of their joint efforts to target the Stone family, symbolizing the initiation of an alliance between the Neal and Foreman families.

The middle-aged leader of the Stone family wore a fierce expression.

He harbored no surprise at the Neal and Siegel families joining forces, knowing well that they shared common roots.

It was common knowledge in the Spirit Sea that these two families stood united.

Yet, the close association between the Foreman family and the Neal family unsettled the members of the Stone family, stirring a sense of unease among them.

“Stay vigilant,” cautioned Severin Stone, the middle-aged leader, in a hushed tone. “The Neal family and the Foreman family have a close relationship.”

“Uncle Severin, do they dare to make a move against us?” scoffed the youth beside him, wearing an air of disdain.

The Stone family’s strength stemmed from their affiliation with the Hall of Souls, which provided support through numerous soul slaves hailing from their family.

Many within the Stone family willingly became soul slaves of the Hall of Souls, leveraging its resources to bolster their own power while clandestinely aiding their family.

This autonomy had allowed the Stone family to assert dominance over the Spirit Sea.

Severin furrowed his brows. “Remain cautious. If the Neals, Siegels and Foremans unite their forces, even I may find it difficult to escape unscathed.”
