Chapter 423: An Unattainable Existence

Rukaini is the ancestor of the Layton family.

Over twenty years ago, he guarded the Corey star field, serving as the local emperor.

Then, he was summoned to the imperial capital where he encountered an elixir that could guarantee a great magic tutor’s breakthrough to a holy magic tutor.

Therefore, to wait for the distribution of the elixir, he chose to stay in Silver Moon City of the imperial capital.

During his two decades of cultivation in the imperial capital, he reached the late stage of great magic tutor. With another decade of refinement, he would almost be able to obtain an elixir to break through to holy magic tutor.

The Layton family, to which he belonged, was also an established major family in Silver Moon City, and they were part of the duke house.

Today, while he was training, he suddenly sensed a distress signal from his family, and it was at the highest level.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he chose to exit his retreat and flew toward the source of the distress.

However, just ten seconds after taking to the sky, a powerful pressure swept over him, followed by a massive magical hand.

The magical hand’s attacking power was not strong, but he did not dare to resist because he could sense that the one who cast it was someone he could not afford to offend.

Thus, Rukaini could only watch helplessly as he was knocked down by the magical hand.

After falling, he did not dare to show any anger but quickly knelt and begged for mercy.

“Lord Karleir, spare me…”

Indeed, the one who had just knocked him down was the royal ancestor, the peak holy magic tutor, Karleir.

“Come here,” Karleir’s voice lightly reached Rukaini’s ears.

At this moment, countless people in the Imperial City were focused on this scene.

Seeing the ancestor of the Layton family being suppressed by the royal ancestor, everyone was left speechless in shock.

Many also noticed the battle at the estate on the outskirts of the city.

Rukaini, as the ancestor of the Layton family, was undoubtedly going to assist the family head.

And the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl battling the Layton family’s head naturally caught everyone’s attention.

From the recent events, it could be inferred that the girl must have a connection to Lord Karleir.

Karleir directly intervening to suppress Rukaini suggested that the relationship between the girl and Karleir was far from ordinary.

“Rukaini greets you, Lord Karleir,” Rukaini said respectfully upon meeting Karleir in a tea house.

“Kneel!” Karleir’s calm voice rang out.

Hearing this, Rukaini’s expression flickered between emotions, and he felt quite humiliated.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still knelt down.

“Do you know why I stopped you?” Karleir asked lightly.

“Is it because of that girl?” Rukaini asked softly.

“Have you heard a rumor? A rumor that our Ilyrisri Empire has a Law God?” Karleir inquired lightly.

“I have heard it,” Rukaini nodded.

“What you heard is not just a rumor; our Ilyrisri Empire indeed has a Law God. He descended from the Divine Realm, and the one fighting your Layton family head is the direct disciple of that Law God. I’m merely a protector standing behind her,” Karleir explained lightly to Rukaini.

Hearing Karleir’s words, Rukaini’s face showed shock and disbelief.

Holy magic tutors are beings he cannot confront, and now a Law God has appeared…

This is truly astonishing.

Although there had been some rumors that the Ilyrisri Empire had a Law God, and that the elixirs able to help great magic tutors break through to holy magic tutors were granted by the divine,

those were just rumors.

And now, the peak holy magic tutor, Lord Karleir, has personally acknowledged this matter.

This leaves people with no choice but to believe.

With Karleir’s cultivation level and status, it would be impossible for him to deceive him on such an issue.

Moreover, to Karleir, he is just an ant and does not need to deceive him.

“Lord Karleir, should I immediately call my Layton family head? I fear he may harm that lord’s disciple,” Rukaini quickly said to Karleir.

“No need. Even if the Law God’s disciple is defeated, she will not die. As for your Layton family’s people daring to provoke the divine lord’s disciple, if they die, it’s their own fault…”

While Karleir spoke, on the other side,

Evelyn and the middle-aged elf from the Layton family had reached a stalemate.

The middle-aged elf, noticing that the family ancestor had not come to rescue him for so long and that his own magic was nearly exhausted, realized the situation was dire.

So, during the fight, he launched a burst of powerful attacks, forcing Evelyn’s flying sword back slightly before deciding to flee.

Seeing the middle-aged elf escape, Evelyn had already been ignited with anger and had no intention of letting him go.

Compared to a magician flying with wind magic, cultivators flying with their swords are much faster.

Soon, Evelyn caught up to the man and launched another flying sword attack.

“No! You can’t kill me, I am from the Layton family…”

Faced with the powerful flying sword attack, the middle-aged elf was nearly out of magic and had no way to defend himself.

Swish!

In the next moment, a beam of sword light flashed.

The middle-aged elf’s body was cut in two by the sword light.

In Silver Moon City, many people observed the situation with their spiritual perception.

Seeing the girl eliminate the Layton family head, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

“This girl is impossible to provoke!”

At that moment, everyone had this thought.

On the other side, after Evelyn killed the middle-aged man, her gaze became icy.

After hovering in the air for a moment, she glanced in the direction of the palace and then flew toward the city.

Meanwhile, in the tea house,

Karleir saw that Evelyn had dealt with the middle-aged man and lightly told Rukaini, who was kneeling on the ground, “Stay kneeling for three days and three nights.”

After saying this, Karleir’s figure vanished from the spot.

After Karleir left, Rukaini remained kneeling in place, not daring to rise at all.

At this moment, he felt no humiliation or hatred.

He had come to understand.

Had it not been for Lord Karleir stopping him, if he had rushed forward and harmed the Law God’s disciple, the outcome would have been the destruction of his entire family along with him.

In the Elf Tribe, one cannot humiliate a holy magic tutor, let alone the Law God, who is countless times more powerful? Such thoughts of resistance should not even exist.

So, Karleir punishing him to kneel for three days and three nights seemed small compared to the destruction of his family; he accepted it.

Moreover, he decided that from this moment on, as long as that girl wanted to do anything, everyone in the Layton family must unconditionally obey her.

On the other side, after Evelyn returned to the city, she found an inn to stay.

She cannot return to the palace because her master had said she cannot return within ten years.

Additionally, she could only stay in Silver Moon City for one month; after a month, she would go to another city.

Then, she could only remain on this planet for one year, and after one year, she needed to explore the starry skies, returning only after ten years.
