Chapter 23: Forced to Breakthrough



Fredrinn nodded to acknowledge his presence. "What about the two disciples?" He asked while looking around.

"I told them to board the carriage to prevent the other assassins from seeing them," Cain replied. He then told Fredrinn about the whole situation.

"It seems like these people have some background. Did you bring the corpse of the person you killed?"

Hearing this, Cain shook his head. "Do you want me to retrieve the body?"

"No. It\'s too late for that. Those people must have already taken the body the moment you left."

"I apologize, my lord. I should have taken the body with me."

"It\'s fine. I\'ll have my father deal with this. We should be able to get some clues once the experts from the family make their investigation." Fredrinn wasn\'t angry, but he was still a bit disappointed. Cain might be strong, but he was a full-fledged warrior who didn\'t know how to scheme.

"Let\'s return to the estate," Fredrinn told the group.

Meanwhile, a group of men in black robes were secretly tailing them.

"Are you sure that person is a peak Foundation Establishment martial practitioner?"

"Yes, sir! He overpowered our team and even killed one of us! I ordered my men to retreat once I sensed that we weren\'t his match."

"I didn\'t think that those guys were actually from the Firecrown Household. It will get troublesome if they send someone to investigate us." This man was wearing a mask so there was no way to identify him.

"What should we do, sir?"

The masked man was silent for a moment before he replied. "We need to silence them!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the black-robed men flashed with a vicious glint.

Inside the carriage were Fredrinn, Olivia, Cain, Kristine, and the two disciples. Everyone looked tensed. This was because the two disciples told them about what happened.

"My lord, those people are still tailing us," Cain whispered.

Fredrinn nodded with a cold look. He already expected this so he wasn\'t surprised. "Can you tell how strong they are?"

"There are more than twenty of them. Most are Qi Gathering stage martial practitioners. Six are at the Foundation Establishment and the strongest one is a peak Foundation Establishment realm expert." Cain reported with a solemn look. After advancing to the 1st Layer of the Core Formation realm, his perception had become stronger.

He could now accurately gauge the strength of someone as long they are in the Foundation Establishment stage or below.

Cain was confident that he could beat those guys, but he couldn\'t guarantee the safety of Fredrinn\'s group if those people attacked them together.

[An unknown group is planning to silence you. Kill five enemies! Reward: 5 Years of Battle Experience!]

Seeing this, Fredrinn narrowed his eyes. \'It looks like I have to reveal myself today.\' He thought. He didn\'t want to show his prowess any time soon, but he had no choice. Those people would kill for the sake of the Limit Breaking Pills! Now that he received a mission from the system prompt, he had more reason to eliminate them.

Initially, he planned to kill them using the city guards, but that was impossible now that he got this mission.

"You guys prepare for battle!" Fredrinn took out his sword with a fierce look on his face.

Everyone was nervous when they heard this, but they also took out their weapons.

"You two must protect Olivia," Fredrinn told the two young disciples.

"Yes, my lord! We will keep her safe." Felix and Ren nodded with serious faces.

"Cousin, are you afraid?" Fredrinn smiled grimly at Kristine. Although she was extremely talented in cultivation, she had no combat experience.

Kristine gripped her sword tightly as she shook her head.

Fredrinn patted her shoulder. "You are strong. Believe in yourself."

His comforting words made her feel less tense. She was also surprised that Fredrinn could remain calm in this situation. \'I heard that cousin just broke through the Qi Gathering stage recently. I must protect him! He is the only heir of the Firecrown Household! Nothing must happen to him!\'

Thinking about this, her eyes flashed with determination.

While they were nervously waiting for the pursuers to arrive, Fredrinn focused his attention on forming his dantian.

He felt a sharp stabbing sensation on his chest. His face twitched from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and silently endured the pain. \'I can\'t wait to reach the estate. I must break through now!\'

At this moment, a small spherical organ slowly took shape behind his sternum. It was still small and even looked feeble, but this would soon change once he advanced to the higher layers of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"They are here!" Cain muttered before he jumped out of the carriage to stop the attackers.

Kristine also jumped out and followed him.

This time, only Fredrinn, Olivia, and the two young disciples were inside the carriage.

"My lord, you should stay behind me." Ren protectively covered Fredrinn with his body.

Fredrinn was in the crucial moment of his breakthrough so he couldn\'t be bothered to respond.

Outside the carriage, Cain stared at the six people in front of him with a cold look.

"Sir that\'s the guy who killed my subordinate!"

Hearing this, the man wearing a mask looked at the scar-faced man in front of them and frowned. \'I can\'t gauge this guy\'s power. Is he really a peak Foundation Establishment martial practitioner?\' Somehow, he felt that the man was even more dangerous than he had expected, but it was already too late for them to retreat.

"The five of you will help me deal with that guy. Tell the rest to kill that girl and the people inside the carriage." The masked man commanded.

As soon as he gave the command, the men in black robes immediately moved.

Five people surrounded Kristine, while the rest surrounded the carriage.

Looking at the enemies around her, Kristine felt her heart beating wildly. \'I have to deal with these men and help cousin as soon as I can! I hope that Felix and Ren could hold them back for some time.\'
