The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-986

After that woman's words finished ringing through that area, the people in that place began to rise from their chairs, leaving the area in a hurry.

As they watched that, the viewers looked at those people with mournful looks on their faces, understanding that several would die immediately after leaving that safe area.

But among these people, Warner and Oriel were watching with interest in Minos' direction, curious to see this young man in action.

They had stayed all this time in this place, expecting that something violent would happen. However, seeing the behaved way in which those people were following the orders of the Spiritual Church, they felt a little disappointed.

In any case, bloodlust was in the air, and they knew that a fight was about to take place one way or another.

With that in mind, they soon began to prepare to leave that place, intent on following young Stuart.

Seeing the movement of almost everyone there, including the Bishops of the Church, Gloria sighed in defeat, preparing to leave the place.

Even though the peace attempt had failed and she had already resolved her grudge against Minos, she still had business in this region to attend to before returning to the empire.

For example, she had two coronation ceremonies to attend and other minor matters to resolve in the Church branch in the Kingdom of the Waves.

With this in mind, she was preparing to make her way to Athela, where she intended to start settling her affairs in this region.

"Sigh..."

'I hope everything ends well... I'll pass through Dry City before heading to the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom.' She looked in the direction from which Minos and his group had departed.

"After that, I will return to the empire."

...

A few moments later...

It did not take long for the groups that attended the previous negotiation to leave that area in a hurry, with many taking alternative routes at the first moment.

Some of the people who attended that meeting were not simple and had teleportation arrays that could be used in case their situation became complicated.

Because of this, Minos' teams could not make it easy on their enemies by scaring them too much and forcing them to use their escape items. With this, they had gone their separate ways, preparing for the actual chase to begin later.

However, this was the case for those who were mainly pursuing the forces of the Cromwell Kingdom. That was because Minos' group was going directly after Thomas' team, whom this young man seriously had an intense desire to kill.

They could already be considered old enemies, and not having been able to eliminate this person on several occasions already upset the young Stuart. Therefore, he could not hold back at this moment against such an opponent.

No, they were already so close, so Minos wanted to eliminate this problem at once!

Thus, after leaving that previous meeting area, he and Abby went next to Maida in pursuit of those people.

As for Ruth and Maisie, the two were flying over the area following these two, but since they were both from the Flaming Empire, they would not participate in this conflict of Minos'.

But they were both following him closely in case something strange happened.

On the other hand, Jade and her group were also flying on their winged beasts not far from Maida, intending to join the battle Minos planned to have against the Brown Kingdom forces.

Maida was faster than the beasts of both the enemies and the allies of Minos. But still, Jade and her group were not lagging far behind, and once young Stuart acted, such a team would definitely join him in a few moments.

With that, given the speed of the beasts on both sides, it was not long before Thomas' group appeared on the horizon ahead of Minos and Abby.

In that place were four beasts as large or larger than Maida, carrying eight people, all the reinforcements from the Flaming Empire that were here for the Brown family, plus King Brown.

And seeing his targets appearing in front of him, Minos cheered up for the impending battle as he noticed the looks of those people in his direction.

They were looking in his direction as if they were in doubt about what to do at this moment.

Maybe stay and fight to solve the problem?

They saw that there was a distance between Minos and Jade's group. But, at the same time, none of them could see Maisie's figure nearby.

Or would it be better to get away from this place as quickly as possible to avoid surprises?

Hell, it was Minos who was chasing them, not an ordinary individual!

This thought was particularly running through Thomas' mind, who at the moment felt himself in a situation he had never found himself in the past.

'Damn it!'

'What do we do now? We can only teleport three people simultaneously with my teleportation array!' He looked at Minos in doubt, trying to understand whether it was worth staying and fighting or running away, sacrificing five of them.

But as he thought about it, the descendant of the Silva family laughed and said. "The wretch has come after us himself!"

"Let's fight!"

"What?"

"Are you crazy? That woman must be somewhere watching you." Another Spiritual Emperor said this, worried about what would happen to them if Minos died at their hands.

These people from the northern region of the Central Continent might not be afraid of Maisie because there were too many problems that would prevent her from acting against them. But they were no longer from that region but the empire.

In other words, there was nothing that would prevent Maisie from seeking revenge against them in the future!

And as much as they had their methods for hiding and taking certain advantages, that would only work if she was not around!

With that, such an individual was worried about fighting Minos in this place.

"No. That person will not act against us." Clayton Silva said in a confident tone. "He's too arrogant to depend on her help, and she's not going to want to get complicated over something so small."

"Small? That's her son we're talking about!" The other Spiritual Emperor said this in surprise that Clayton would ignore such information.

"That doesn't matter. That woman never raised her son. I bet she doesn't even care about him!"

"Really? And why is she here?"

"That black-haired girl who was standing next to that demon is her disciple. So, that woman is probably here to take that brat back to the empire!" The descendant of the Silva family said, confident in the information he had gathered in the empire before coming to this region.

"She didn't even avenge the husband she had a relationship with for years, so why would she care about a child she didn't raise?"

"That..." The people in that group were at a loss for words.

In the Spiritual World, it was not so uncommon to find cruel parents who did not care about their children or were even capable of sacrificing them for their own good.

In fact, one of the current masters of one of the eight great sects of the Flaming Empire had in the past stolen his only son's wife and then killed that unfortunate individual later!

Such a story was quite exaggerated, but cases like these happened here and there from time to time.

And knowing this, the people in that group, who did not know Minos' mother, did not doubt that Maisie would be capable of not caring about the death of her own son if what that man said was true.

King Brown himself had no way to refute that individual. "She truly didn't avenge Albert and rarely visited her son when he was unconscious for years..."

"Maybe she's just here for the brat anyway." He commented in a low voice but was still filled with fear in his heart.

But while they were talking, these people had already wasted too much time!

At that moment, young Stuart jumped off Maida's back while throwing a triangular object toward those fleeing spiritual beasts.

"Too late!"

Spatial Sword!

And then, as soon as he activated his primary technique, Minos saw the object stopping in mid-air due to the spatial restriction of his technique. Then a characteristic buzzing sound spread through that area as a spatial stabilization array was activated.
