Chapters 2835-2843 Strong Backing 2

2835 Addressing him as little lion, SL reprimands the RLK for taking so long, leaving the crowd speechless when he apologizes. When SL complains about her serious injuries, the RLK waves the 3 elders over, thumping their heads for going against SL. The elders despair that SL has his backing, when he thumps his chest, declaring he’ll wrap things up for her, even referring to himself as little lion.

2836-2837 The crowd is stunned by her status, when SL remarks that CZ would know how to sort them out. However, since his status isn’t as high, the RLK hesitates over killing them, asking SL if he can just remove 2. The elders clamour to keep their lives, when the RLK asks SL to pick. The Fairy is certain SL would pick her, but SL sneers since she can easily remove her, telling the RLK to imprison her instead. The elders pale, realizing 2 of them will die. The 5th elder clamours that he was forced to act, but SL reminds him he had signed the duel contract, before stating she’ll temporarily let him off. The 3rd and 7th elders plea for their lives, as the RLK forms a fatal strike. Suddenly, a sandstorm appears, and the Crafty Thorn Empress arrives, emitting a terrifying aura, as she looks over the masses like ants.

2838 The RLK is shocked the Empress is such a devastatingly beautiful woman, and that she’d personally storm into Purgatory City, when she demands for SL. The 3 elders and the Fairy are delighted, while the RLK is distressed, since only CZ can match the Empress. When the RLK refuses, the Empress threatens to devastate Purgatory City. SL appears, asking why she doesn’t fear CZ. While the Empress can’t defeat him, he’s never around. SL smirks that CZ will soon return, when the Empress reaches to grab SL’s neck, retracting her hand when the RLK tries to cut it, stating she needs to defeat him first.

2839 The 3 elders surround SL to prevent her from escaping since the RLK isn’t a match. The Empress’s punch causes the RLK to cough blood. SL wants to flee, but is frozen from fear, as the Empress’s 3rd eye emerges, with the dark aura causing her to feel dizzy and disoriented. The Empress reaches to grab SL’s neck, with her presence reminding SL of how imposing the 3rd elder had seemed when she first arrived in Purgatory City. As the Empress starts pinching SL’s neck, the RLK bites her wrist, refusing to let go, despite being punched in the head. Furious, the Empress turns pale when she senses CZ and starts running.

2840 However, the RLK continues to clamp on her wrist as she flees, dragging him along. The crowd is in awe, while the elders feel conflicted, since they doubt SL’s claim and token, and plan on waiting for CZ’s reaction, but the RLK’s treatment towards SL indicates her background isn’t normal. Dressed fully in black, CZ appears mysterious and terrifying, glancing over the city with indifference. The audience shivers as they kneel, when CZ sweeps a glance over SL without a word, causing the elders to rejoice.

2841 When CZ demands an explanation, the 7th elder remarks that an insignificant student had offended the Empress, when the atmosphere turns cold. CZ accuses the 7th elder of lying, causing him to become speechless from fear. CZ’s sturdy build makes SL look small and slender, as he lightly smiles at her, stiffening when she playfully turns away with a grunt. The crowd is shocked CZ would smile, and that SL would dare to defy him.

2842 The crowd is perplexed when CZ continues to stare at her, while the Fairy silently cheers for him to slap her to death. The 3rd elder is also delighted, telling CZ to rest from his journey, ordering SL to prostrate before him. CZ’s face darkens at the elder’s tone, when SL slaps the elder’s face. CZ pats her head, asking if her hand hurts, when SL rebuffs him. The crowd is shocked at SL’s attitude in front of CZ, as he indulgently laughs at her temper while rubbing her head. SL expresses her disdain for Purgatory City.

2843 CZ’s gaze fiercely sweeps through the crowd, as SL accuses the 3 elders and the Fairy of mistreating her. The elders tremble in fear, as SL remarks that it isn’t completely their fault since they didn’t believe she was his god daughter, despite the diamond token. The crowd starts to panic over SL’s status, when another strong aura appears. SL smiles, recognizing the familiar presence.
