Chapter 3261 A Threat

"Princess Elvinia!"

"Let's not argue with them!"

There was a chorus of pleas from the people surrounding Elvinia. They could feel her rage, and sought valiantly to calm her down.

They were familiar with how stubborn Elvinia could be.

But to fight the Bearing race here and now was reckless. She was asking for trouble! But the pleas of Elvinia's companions fell on deaf ears.

Without hesitation, Elvinia launched an attack. The golden light on the surface of her soul shimmered and trembled, and instantly, the divine flames of the Sun Crow race lashed forward like a golden whip.

The energy struck out at the two members of the Bearing race who stood nearest to Elvinia.

They were struck forcefully by the golden whip, a crackle of energy sounding as it hit them.

A bright golden light spread outward across their souls from the point of impact.

If not taking measures, their souls would be completely burnt to ashes by the golden light.

"Bitch!"

"How dare she!"

Feeling the burning in their souls from the divine flames of the Sun Crow race, the two persons who had been struck withdrew in a hurry from the Other Shore.

Anger rose up in the soul auras of the other members of the Bearing race, and they rushed towards Elvinia, intent on avenging their comrades.

"Princess Elvinia, we'd better leave the Other Shore now!"

"They outnumber us. I'm afraid we're no match for them!"

"Princess Elvinia, please withdraw from the Other Shore now!"

The people around Elvinia clamored to leave immediately, pale with fear. None dared to voice their thoughts, but inwardly they were not pleased with her. Over the years Elvinia had always gotten them into trouble every time they accompanied her to the Other Shore.

These guards were elite members of the Oneness Sky Palace. As such, they were quite strong enough to deal with the forces of small races. The problem now was that they were severely overwhelmed by the sheer number of the people from the Bearing race.

Elvinia ignored them.

There was a sharp, buzzing sound.

Elvinia's body suddenly sent out tendrils of golden light, soaring high into the air as the divine flames of the Sun Crow race turned into twelve whips all lashing forward.

It was a bold, powerful move. However, these Souls of Light at Stage Thirteen wouldn't be defeated so easily.

The Bearing race had already lost two of their members from the Other Shore because of Elvinia's first attack, so they were more prepared for this one.

As the twelve whips swooped and slashed through the air, the members of the Bearing race jumped back from the golden strands, evading Elvinia's attack.

None of those in her line of sight could get close to her. They were focused entirely on defending themselves.

But while the members of the Bearing race in front of Elvinia captured her whole attention, their companions flanked Elvinia, slowly surrounding her on both sides.

The several men with Elvinia quickly stood with their backs to her, forming a protective circle around her. They activated their soul theurgies to prevent the Bearing race from coming closer to Elvinia.

Despite this defensive stance, the people from the Bearing race still had the upper hand.

On the sidelines, the members of

"Ah, more people from the Oneness Sky Palace, I see," said Haider in a bored voice. He was clearly not afraid of the newcomers.

Chaim let the others block the way of those who had Elvinia. Correctly identifying Haider as the leader of the Bearing race contingent, Chaim walked up to him and said, "Sir, Princess Elvinia is the favorite daughter of Eastern Emperor Taiyi. You are inviting trouble by trying to take her away like this."

That caught Haider's interest. But his arrogant expression remained. Sneering, he said, "So that's the reason everyone says she's important. I have miscalculated. If she's the daughter of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, then I should ask for an even greater ransom!"

Haider had been born into one of the most influential clans in the Bearing race, and was himself a relative of Yellow Thearch. He was completely unimpressed by Elvinia's status as Eastern Emperor Taiyi's daughter.

"Don't you think it's a shame for the Bearing race to kidnap Eastern Emperor Taiyi's daughter for ransom?" Chaim asked.

Haider's face turned cold. "Don't you think it's wrong for this girl to provoke us, start a fight, and almost kill two of us? You should be glad her only punishment is to be held for ransom. She will not be harmed. And if you doubt my story, there are people here from races apart from the Bearing race who witnessed the whole thing."

Chaim paused. He did agree that Elvinia was in the wrong. It would not work to try and make Haider feel guilty or ashamed. Being a clever man, Chaim quickly switched tactics.

"So you are definitely not going to let her go?" Chaim asked.

"She stays with us," said Haider, in a tone that brooked no argument.

Chaim tilted his head, giving him a thoughtful look. "Like everyone else here, you came for the Grand Sky Temple, didn't you? Wouldn't it be prudent to make sure no one gets in your way after the gate to the temple is opened?

After all, your ultimate goal here is the Grand Sky Temple. If we try to make things difficult for you, it would put a wrench in your plans. Don't you agree?"

This time, Chaim's veiled threat worked. Haider's face darkened, and his aura became ice cold.
