Julie's Intervention

Bang!

A loud explosion occurred outside the compound of the Ragingwave Clan. It didn't end with that; instead, that was the start of it.

Constant explosions rang in the forest, which begged everyone's attention. So, all went to check their fight while maintaining a certain distance.

They saw bright flashes in the sky, and different kinds of spiritual energy were raining down from the sky and destroying the terrain.

Lenny, who was watching intensely, got interrupted by Yuki, who suddenly came beside him.

"So, that is sword intent," Yuki said with a slight yearning in his voice.

Lenny didn't comment anything on that as it might suspicious if he asked what it was. Instead, he asked the system. 'Hey, system. Can you tell me what is sword intent?'

[ Sword Intent contains the belief of the sword, and this power is displayed through mental energy to slash through the void. When one is able to comprehend something similar to the Sword Intent, one becomes the bane of mental energy techniques. It also amplifies the power of your attack. ]

'This is very strong.' Lenny was internally shocked by the information. He asked. 'So, can I also have that kind of intent?'

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to learn that because he was using a spear. He didn't want to swordplay and it would waste a lot of time.

[ You can, host. Every kind of weapon has its own intent. Fist, sword, spear, axe, staff, etc.—whatever you name it, they all have their own intent. ]

Lenny sighed in relief after hearing that. Then he looked up in the sky and thought. 'Are those guys gonna fight till death? I do not want that to happen now.'

He was worried about the old fogies that were resting in the Secret Hall. Every person from the old generation who was on their deathbed would guard the safety of the family or clan from getting completely destroyed. They were the last resort.

He knew this from reading novels but didn't fully believe it, as it might be different. So, he asked around old people who longed enough. Luckily, he found one old man who was able to witness a thing like that.

And it happened with IceFire Clan, as they were new to this place. The other two overlords wanted to eat this clan, but an old woman came out to save them, and other old men also arrived from the two overlords.

After, their discussion IceFire Clan became one of the overlords of this town like the other two.

So, if Galibar and Brustiar fight to death now, it would spoil his plan.

At that moment, A voice sounded throughout the place. "Can you guys please stop fighting? It makes you look pathetic in front of the juniors."

Everyone looked to see who it was, and when they saw the person, their breath was taken away.

"She is beautiful." Tailor who was a fighting maniac and never thought about women in his life had those words blurted out.

Lenny was also quite shocked by the woman who was walking in the air. He checked his information.

[ Julie IceFire (First-Stage Nascent Soul Realm): The Matriarch of the IceFire Clan. She is thinking of calming Galibar and Brustiar down. ]

'So, she is the matriarch of the IceFire Clan.' Lenny looked at her deeply and was thinking of something.

…

Galibar and Brustiar stopped attacking each other. They looked to their side and saw Julie there.

Brustiar said it with anger. "What do you want now? Are you going to meddle in our business?"

Galibar squinted his eyes, as he was also curious.

"Yes, I have to." Julie looked at them with a calm face. "I don't want the ordinary people to suffer just because of your business."

Galibar replied. "Why would we care about what the mortals think? They were meant to serve us, cultivators."

"If you care about those mortals, then you can protect them however you want. But I warn you, don't meddle in our business." Brustiar warned her.

Julie went silent for a second, then she spoke again. "If you guys want to fight, then I will have to show you what real power looks like."

Shoooo!

Blue flames started to come out of her body toward the ground and sky. The moment those flames touched the trees, it immediately burned them, but the next moment, they froze into ice while still burning.

She pressed her hand forward, and a tsunami made of blue flame surged toward them.

Brustiar immediately swung his sword, trying to cut open a path. A red sword aura that was mixed with sword intent shot word the blue flaming tsunami. But the blue flame still moved forward.

Galibar punched the blue flame, but in a few seconds, his hand froze.

Galibar and Brustiar thought with their eyes wide open. 'She has gotten this much stronger!?'

They both retreated and looked at Julie with worry.

Julie didn't continue attacking them. She gave them a warning look."You both should think this through more before you guys fight with each other."

She was about to leave after saying that but gave a glance at Galibar's new son-in-law.

She glanced at Lenny, expecting a look of lust and worship, but got nothing. There was no emotion on his face, just like hers. Even Yuki, who didn't show much expression, had some admiration in his eyes.

She was a bit shocked, as nobody had ever looked at her like that.

Lenny saw Julie was glancing at him, so he stared deep right into her eyes.

Julie quickly turned her head away and left.

Nobody knew what was going on in her mind right now.

On the other hand, Galibar and Brustiar looked at each other and left without saying anything. The elders who were waiting to join in also left.

Kaley said to Lenny. "Let's go. I think they are done."

Lenny nodded his head and followed her. Inside his mind, he was currently thinking. 'I need her on my side.'
