God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 651

"We will not drag everyone into danger. In this operation, everything is based on your own safety. If you encounter an invincible powerhouse, retreat immediately."

Elara cupped her hands once more, her voice filled with sincerity.

Seeing this, Ethan spoke calmly.

"Do not worry, Miss Elara. Since you follow me, I will protect the Sky family."

His tone was light, as if the Palace of the Four Cycles was not worth mentioning.

"With Mr. Ethan’s words, this little girl is reassured."

"Without further delay, let us depart."

Elara’s expression was urgent, worry written plainly across her face.

Ethan glanced at his spiritual pets. They were still asleep, immersed in cultivation. He did not disturb them.

With his current strength, along with the three clones, it was enough to deal with the Palace of the Four Cycles.

"Let us go."

Ethan flashed toward the stone gate. The massive stone door slowly rose.

They stepped out of the ruins.

Suspended in mid air, Ethan closed the stone gate once more. He layered several seals and restrictions over the exterior of the ruins to prevent any unforeseen accidents while he was away.

...

Blue Wave City, the mountain range where the Sky family resided.

At this moment, the entire region was enveloped by multiple formations.

Powerful attacks descended from all directions, striking the formation barrier.

Ripples spread across the barrier, and the force of the attacks was gradually dissolved and dispersed.

On the roof of the Sky Family Hall stood Max, Bella, Uncle Ghost, and numerous senior elders of the clan.

They all stood with hands behind their backs, expressions solemn, gazing toward the sky.

Outside the formation stood the forces of the Palace of the Four Cycles.

Ninth level great demons and tenth level demon lords filled the air. Among them were many Upper Demon Lords and Ultimate Demon Lords.

The number was not overwhelming, but if they wished to break through the Sky family’s Six Formations, they were still far from sufficient.

"Uncle Ghost, how are the arrangements?" Max asked, brows furrowed.

"The elderly, children, and those below the Mahayana realm have all retreated into the clan’s forbidden grounds."

"However, the teleportation formation within the forbidden grounds must be dismantled before the Six Formations are broken."

"I understand."

"For now, do not worry. The Palace of the Four Cycles cannot sustain the assault for long. It is only a matter of time before Valerius and the others appear."

"When all the elites of the Palace of the Four Cycles arrive, we will dismantle the formations and fight to the death, buying time for the clan."

Max’s voice was grave.

"Very well. Everything depends on the master and mistress."

Uncle Ghost nodded.

He sat cross legged on the eaves. A long sword appeared before him. He drank from a flask and wiped the blade slowly with a cloth.

"Master, it has been half a year since the Training Trial Secret Realm collapsed, yet the young lady has not returned. That Ethan may not be reliable at all," one elder sighed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Reliable or not is irrelevant. The fact that Elara and Risa’s soul jade remains intact means they are safe."

"After the collapse of the Training Trial Secret Realm, its internal space merged with the Heavenly Water Mountains and was sealed by a spatial barrier."

"Perhaps Elara and Ethan remain within that barrier. It may even be safer there than here at the Sky family."

Max spoke steadily.

"My husband is correct."

"We have shattered the clan jade slips. Elara should have received the message. I only hope she leaves the Demon Territory as soon as possible, travels far, and does not act foolishly."

Bella’s tone was firm.

"But for this Training Trial, our Sky family paid a tremendous price. We even became enemies with the Palace of the Four Cycles."

"If Ethan had been more reliable and delivered a Hibiscus Fruit to our Sky family, we would not have fallen into this situation."

Another elder sighed heavily.

"That is enough."

"How much time has passed, and you still dwell on this?"

"This was always a desperate gamble. It was only a matter of time before the Palace of the Four Cycles attacked us. Instead of being slowly devoured and reduced to their vassals, allowing them to take whatever they wished, it is better to fight to the death. There may yet be a sliver of hope."

"It is better to die standing than live on one’s knees. This decision is worthy of our ancestors."

Bella snorted coldly.

The elders behind her fell silent.

"In this Training Trial, the Palace of the Four Cycles gained nothing and suffered heavy losses. Not only that, news of their possession of the Blood Sacrifice Reincarnation Technique has been exposed."

"That is an ancient forbidden technique. Every major force covets it. All are watching."

"According to our spies, numerous forces in the Demon Territory are already assembling experts to denounce the Palace of the Four Cycles."

"Their situation is not favorable."

"If Valerius is not foolish, he will seize this period to destroy the Sky family and use our lives to force Elara and Ethan to reveal themselves."

"According to previous news, Ethan seems to have obtained the Hibiscus Fruits."

"The Palace of the Four Cycles suffered greatly at his hands. Many died, and Hibiscus Fruits were lost. Valerius will not let this pass."

"Using our lives as leverage is his only path."

"If we can withstand Valerius and hold out until other forces descend upon the Palace of the Four Cycles, there may still be a chance to turn the tide."

Max’s expression was solemn.

After hearing him, the elders nodded.

"For the sake of the clan, we will fight the Palace of the Four Cycles to the end."

No one complained further.

At such a moment, there was no need to debate past gains or losses.

"They are coming."

Bella’s willow brows furrowed slightly. Her face grew even more solemn.

She turned her gaze eastward.

Hundreds of powerful auras surged across the horizon.

Among them were nearly dozens whose strength was no weaker than her own or Max’s.

There were also several terrifying presences that filled her with dread.

Clearly, Valerius and the branch palace masters of the Palace of the Four Cycles had arrived.

Everyone followed Bella’s gaze.

In the sky, points of light appeared.

The lights grew denser and denser, approaching at a terrifying speed.
