Chapter 322 War Declaration
Chapter 322 War Declaration
"Shadow River Sect has been in conflict with the Senzal Clan and Kenzal Clan for the past 10,000 years. It has been an endless power struggle between the three parties, but was in controlled form. But, as of current, the Shadow River Sect has crossed all boundaries and broken this control by assassinating four important figures of the Senzal Clan."
"It is for this reason that the two clans have come to a decision to not follow the peaceful and non-violent approach anymore and with the approval of the Council of the Neutral Continent, Senzal Clan and Kenzal Clan declare the commencement of wa, starting this winter, on the Shadow River Sect and shall enter into a direct conflict with the aforementioned party."
The elder finished reading what was on the scroll and waited for the two sect masters to speak on this.
Wan stroked his beard and said, "Interesting. It is indeed going to be an all-out war now."
Ling looked at the elder below and said, "the sect shall be in a temporary lockdown period. No disciples or elders are allowed to leave the sect during this period and all the members currently outside shall be called back. Make sure to pass on this message to everyone, elder."
The elder nodded his head and agreed to what Ling commanded him.
Ling gave a few more instructions and the elder after his job was done.
Ling then sighed and hugged Wan's arm. She put her head on his shoulder and said, "we are finally having an all-out war now, dear."
Wan patted Ling's head and said softly, "it was inevitable and was bound to happen sooner or later."
"Yes, it was inevitable." Ling added.
"We'll finally get our revenge after struggling for so many years." Wan said with a serious look on his face.
The two didn't speak further and just silently sat on their chairs and enjoyed each other's company.
…..
Core court, Shadow River Sect.
Lith was roaming the core court because he had nothing better to do. While doing so, he heard the few disciples present in this court talk about there being a war and also the sect being on lockdown.
He was a bit confused about this but Alexandra arrived right at this moment and he simply asked her about this. She explained that due to the war between the two clans and sect, the sect would be on lockdown for the safety of its disciples until the war was over.
Lith understood the gist of it and looking at Alexandra, he asked, "so now that it'll be on lockdown for who knows how long, do you want to roam outside? Somewhere far away from the war zone of course."
Alexandra flashed a small smile and kissed Lith's cheek. "Thankyou, darling. But, I can't do that right now. I have a training session with one of the officials from the academy."
'Academy?' Lith thought. But in the next instant, it clicked him that the person who is going to train with Alexandra must be the one who is ensuring her safety till she was a King Rank.
Lith was about to ask more on it when space fluctuated around him and in the next instant, Arya teleported out of thin air and hugged Lith from behind.
"Heyooo~ What's my lover doing?" She asked while swaying Lith and herself side to side.
Alexandra knitted her brows as she saw Arya interrupt the two. But, she had learned from the past a bit and didn't attack Arya. The reason being, Arya was family now.
Lith smiled as Arya hugged him and asked, "what brings you here, Arya?"
Arya let go of Lith and held his hand. "I had nothing better to do, so I just came here."
"Oh. I thought you were here for Alexandra." Lith put out his thoughts.
Alexandra had just mentioned that some official from the academy would arrive and now that Arya did, he thought that it must be her. Turns out it wasn't the case.
Arya was confused by hearing Lith's words. "Is something the matter?"
Lith nodded and explained things to her. Arya understood and letting out a small chuckle, she said, "Alright, it's a small matter. One second, I'll handle this."
Arya took out her phone and dialled Emilia's number. The phone rang for a few seconds and Emilia picked it up.
"Hello?" Emilia said from the other side.
"Yo, Emmy." Arya greeted Emilia.
"Hi, Arya. Do you need something?" Emilia asked.
"Yes. Our little sister was supposed to have a training session with an academy staff right now. He or she isn't here yet." Arya said briefly.
"Little sister?" Emilia was a bit confused.
Arya chuckled and asked, "did you forget what happened last to last night?"
Emilia blushed on the other side. Of course she knew! How can she forget…
"Ahem. What about it?" It still didn't click Emilia and she asked.
"Oof. How can you forget Alexandra is now yours as well as mine family now. She's our little sister." Arya explained.
"Ah. Oh, yes, right, right. Got it. One second, I need to check who was the one who was going to train her." Emilia said hurriedly to hide away her embarrassment and got to work.
Arya smiled and didn't speak further on this.
In a few seconds, Emilia said, "it's a King Rank instructor from the combat division. Also, from what I can see, do you want to know why little sister has someone appointed to train her even after she graduated from the academy?"
Emilia said little sister instead of Alexandra now. She adapted pretty quickly to the situation and understood that she now had a family member. Not only that, she also understood that Arya was her family as well. Thus, she became a bit more tolerant and talkative towards Arya.
"Oh? I didn't think much about this. Hmm… sounds interesting. Go on, tell me." Arya said.
Emilia narrated the story about how the academy messed up a few things and that resulted in the death of Alexandra's parents. Hearing that, Arya became enraged. How dare the academy make such a mistake!? She thought and was about to lash out on the academy when Emilia explained further that they rectified their mistake.
The academy provided a lot of benefits to Alexandra and also protection and training. This was the reason why she had a training session with a King Rank today.
"Ugh, Emmy. How can something so stupid happen when there were you and me both present at that time." Arya put out her thoughts.
This matter was something that happened just 8 years ago when Alexandra was 13 and had just joined the academy. Emilia and Arya were both present in the academy during this time.
"I don't know… I should've been more strict with everyone from the start and maintained discipline in the academy. Such a thing wouldn't have happened or else." Emilia said with a sigh.
She slightly regretted about what had happened in the past. Her little sister had suffered due to her negligence.
"Yeah anyway, that aside, who was the one who initiated that assassination?" Arya asked the important question.
"I don't know. You should ask little sister, maybe she might have an idea." Emilia said.
"Okay. Also, cancel the instructor's training with little sister, I'll personally train her and keep her safe as well." Arya said with seriousness.
"You'll do that? Then what about the academy work?" Emilia asked.
"Oh, that. I am leaving the academy from right this moment. Good luck handling the paperwork and everything Emmy. Bye-bye, love from my side."
"Hey! Hey! You can't just–"
Beep!
Arya hung up and put her phone in her ring. She ignored Emilia's words and walking close to Alexandra, she patted her head and said,
"I'll be the one to train you from today onwards. And also the one to keep you safe."
Alexandra looked at Arya for a few seconds and instead of answering her anything, she walked close to Lith and hugging his arm, she said, "I am not going to leave darling's side."
Lith and Arya were both surprised as they heard this. They both chuckled.
Lith patted Alexandra's head and said, "silly, she's not going to eat you."
Arya chuckled and said, "Yes. And also, you should trust your big sis here. I am very powerful, you know? I am a Supreme Rank now, fufu."
Alexandra's ears perked up as she heard this. It was only now that she became slightly interested in Arya and her attention was turned away from Lith.
She turned her head to look at Arya and stared at her with a curious gaze. It was a bit unbelievable for her to know that this bluish-silver haired lady wearing a blindfold on her eyes was a Supreme Rank. Do Supremes behave like this? Did they behave so normally? She doubted.
Arya could tell what Alexandra was thinking. She walked close to her and held her hand.
"Now, now, don't doubt your big sis so much. I am indeed a Supreme Rank. You'll be training with me from now on. I'll make you stronger than ever before."
Alexandra didn't know what to say. She turned to look at Lith who nodded lightly in response and said,
"You should trust her, honey. She's your family now. She won't say anything that is not in your best interest."
"But… I'll need to be away from darling if I went with big sis here." Alexandra accepted her relationship with Arya on Lith's request and said.
Arya chuckled and said, "do you think I can live without seeing him for months? I can't as well, like you. We'll be seeing him every night, don't worry."
"Oh. Okay." Alexandra agreed finally. If that was the case, she had no problem at all.
"Alright, let's go train now." Arya said to Alexandra.
Alexandra nodded and was about to leave when Lith looked at the two and said, "ladies, you're gonna leave your lover/darling/husband, without even giving a goodbye kiss?"
"First marry us to become our husband." Arya said with a smile.
Alexandra nodded and agreed with Arya's statement.
Lith chuckled and said, "that'll happen soon, don't worry."
He walked close to Alexandra and gave her a kiss on her lips. He broke it off after a few seconds and walked close to Arya.
Giving her a kiss as well, he lightly spanked her butt and said to her with a smile, "train her well, okay?"
"As you command, sir husband. Anything else you have to tell this weak little wife of yours?" Arya roleplayed.
Lith chuckled and said, "Nope. Have a good day."
Arya nodded and holding Alexandra's hand, she left the area.
Lith was now alone and having nothing better to do, he was about to roam the sect again when an elder of the sect arrived with some news and approached Lith.
Lith looked at the Elder in front of him and asked, "do you have something for me, Elder?"
