In the depths of the prison, it was impossible for Ethan Smith to rescue Emily Taylor.
Moreover, the prison was built entirely of Black Gold Stone, making it impenetrable.
Thus, this might be Ethanâs best chance.
Inside the Capital City Martial Arts Academy.
Emily Taylor was suspended above the Circular Altar, tubes inserted into her body, and surging lights surrounding her.
Davy Barnett stood at the center of the square, quietly waiting for the black-robed man to arrive.
He arranged for several black and gold robe members to attend, including Jordan Richards.
In order to capture the black-robed man, Davy Barnett spared no expense.
âPresident Barnett, the guests have arrived,â a black and gold robe member whispered as he approached Davy.
Davy Barnett nodded lightly and said, âLet them in.â
Before long, young aristocrats from the Great Families filed into the venue one after another.
The head of the group was Dominic Taylor!
Upon entering the square, everyone saw Emily Taylor suspended above the Circular Altar.
âThat⦠thatâs Miss Taylor?â Ricardo Bowman exclaimed in surprise.
âWhy is Miss Taylor here?â
Daphne Greenâs expression grew even darker. She and Emily Taylor had always been on good terms, and it was impossible not to feel distressed at Emilyâs current predicament.
âWhat is the meaning of this? Why is Miss Taylor here?â Brian Bradley asked coldly.
Unperturbed, Dominic Taylor smiled faintly and said, âDonât be shocked, everyone. The bloodline of all martial artists in Capital City comes from Emily Taylor, or in other words, from our Taylor family.â
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Could it be that the Taylor family had created so many powerful cultivators solely relying on Emily Taylor?
How incredibly strong was Emily Taylorâs bloodline?
âYoung Master Dominic, Miss Taylor is still a member of your Taylor family. By doing this⦠Arenât you afraid of disgracing your family?â Daphne Green asked indignantly.
But Dominic Taylor remained unconcerned, and he chuckled, âEmily Taylor possesses a top-notch bloodline but has never cultivated. It would be a waste not to use her.â
âButâ¦â
Daphne Green wanted to say more, but Dominic Taylor rudely cut her off.
He glanced at her and calmly said, âWhat, donât you want this bloodline, Miss Green? Or is anyone among you willing to give it up?â
For a moment, everyone remained silent.
The power brought by this bloodline was evident to everyone.
Such temptation was hard for anyone to resist.
âSince no one is willing to give it up, thereâs no need for more words,â Dominic Taylor said indifferently.
âOh, by the way, remember, this is our Taylor familyâs bloodline, and we hold the control,â Dominic Taylor added deliberately.
His purpose was, of course, to make everyone here indebted to the Taylor family.
âAlright, please take your seats,â Dominic Taylor strode to the center of the square and sat down.
Looking up at the pale-faced Emily Taylor, everyone couldnât help but sigh.
âWho would have thought that Miss Taylor would suffer such misfortune after Mike Taylorâs death,â Ricardo Bowman lamented.
âIndeed, back when Mike Taylor was alive, who in Capital City would dare to have designs on Miss Taylor?â
âThe entire Miller family once coveted Miss Taylor and have since disappeared from Capital City.â
Even Darnell Bradley, standing on the side, couldnât help but awkwardly comment, âI must confess, I once had a conflict with Miss Taylor. Later on, however, weâ¦â
At this point, Darnell appeared to find it difficult to continue.He was silent for a moment before bitterly smiling and saying, âLater, my dad brought a generous gift to the Taylor family to apologize for several days before he finally obtained Mr. Mike Taylorâs forgiveness.â
Everyone was discussing animatedly, finding it hard to believe Emily Taylorâs current situation.
Only Daphne Green remained silent, her eyes fixed on Emily Taylorâs direction, with a hint of unease in her gaze.
After hesitating for a long time, Daphne lightly stepped forward and came to Emily Taylorâs side.
âEmilyâ¦â Daphneâs eyes were filled with sadness.
Emily Taylor opened her eyes slightly and, upon seeing Daphne, hurriedly asked, âDaphne, how is Ethan Smith? Davy Barnett said heâ¦â
This question left Daphne momentarily at a loss.
Now that Ethan Smith was dead, it was an established fact. Even if Daphne didnât want to admit it, she couldnât change anything.
âHurry up and tell me!â Emily Taylor urged anxiously.
Kind-hearted Daphne hesitated for a long time before finally smiling and saying, âEthan Smith is fine. Davy Barnett was lying to you. Donât worry.â
Upon hearing this, Emily Taylor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A rare smile appeared on her pale face.
âEmily, how are you feeling now?â Daphne looked up at Emily Taylor and sighed.
Just as Emily Taylor was about to speak, Davy Barnett walked over from the side.
âMiss Green, please return to your seat,â Davy Barnett said with a smile.
Daphne furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Emily Taylor, and her heart couldnât help but feel a sense of sorrow.
âPlease go back,â Davy Barnett urged again.
Left with no choice, Daphne reluctantly stepped back.
After a while, Dexter Blair arrived at the scene as well.
With his current strength, he was no longer qualified to sit with the young masters and mistresses of the great families.
However, Reilly Blair had managed to find Davy Barnett, who reluctantly let him in through the back door.
Dexter Blair looked at Emily Taylor, who was hung on the Circular Altar, and his eyes flashed with viciousness.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, âServes you right, you bitch! If you had chosen me back then, you wouldnât have had to suffer such calamity! Serves you right!â
At this moment, Davy Barnett suddenly walked to the top of the Circular Altar, standing beside Emily Taylor.
He calmly said, âNow that everyone is here, letâs begin.â
âAll the blood is from Emily Taylor, and her blood will be used to benefit everyone!â
Davy Barnettâs palm emitted a glow, as if he was about to activate some technique.
âToday, our Capital City Martial Arts Association will show you all how to extract this blood,â Davy Barnett said with a smile.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and the glow landed on Emily Taylor.
For an instant, the tubes attached to Emily Taylorâs body began to work.
Strands of blood flowed out of Emily Taylorâs body.
Her face instantly turned extremely pale, and there was a hint of pain in her expression!
âEmily!â Seeing this, Daphne couldnât help but stand up.
The other young people there from aristocratic families also looked uncomfortable, as they didnât expect the Capital City Martial Arts Association to be so cruel!
Watching the blood slowly flowing out through the tubes, Emily Taylorâs face grew paler and paler.
âDavy Barnett, you motherfucker!â
Just then, a furious shout came from outside!
Immediately afterward, a black figure rushed in!
