Way of the Knights

---

The three people inside the chariot weren't really surprised about a fight breaking out. Due to the special situation in the Azure Sun Great World, it was destined for this place to be chaotic. 

What really made them tensed up, is the fact that the one's who were clashing not too far from them, aren't simple characters. 

Their senses had long penetrated out from the chariot as means to see what's happening in front. Raven's regular sensing range isn't as long as Albert nor Raul's, in order to compensate with that, Raven activated his ocular technique. 

Upon its activation, Raven's perspective of the world suddenly shifted. 

The world became colorful, his vision became broader and penetrated everything that obstructed him from seeing the thing he wanted to see. He could see some silhouettes moving fast that they turn into a blur. He could also see the ripples caused by their clash as well as the destructive range of their attacks.

Due to Geezer's advice, Raven started paying more attention to his ocular technique. Well, he got the name correct for once. 

It turns out that his usage of Crystal Sky Eye could only be described as extremely barbaric, a waste of a heavenly gift. According to the information that Geezer imparted him about this ocular technique, Crystal Sky Eye is extremely powerful and his usage of it before is only scratching its surface. 

'Under the gaze of the Crystal Sky Sage, everything would be revealed.' This was the most famous quotes of the ones who had seen the creator of this technique using it. 

Not only did this technique enhances ones visual prowess to an astonishing degree, it could allow one's true nature to be revealed. Illusions and disguises are nothing but a mere joke in front of this technique, even the subtlest ripple of energy would not be able to escape under its gaze. 

And just like what the quote says, everything shall be revealed. Not even the Heavenly Laws could hide behind this eyes. Which is something that shouldn't be possible yet its true. 

Unfortunately, Raven hadn't got the chance to train it well. For now, he unlocked its Supreme Visual Prowess, Emotion Sensing, and Greater Illusion Immunity. As for the rest of its benefits, that would naturally be unlocked the more he practices it. 

And so, with the help of his Crystal Sky Eye technique, he was able to see what's happening even better than Albert and Raul. 

It turns out that the ones who were fighting in front are from two camps. The ones who were making the largest impacts are two elders who are at least Immortal Knight Emperors. Judging from their earth-shaking clash, it seems that neither camp will stop unless the other party was wiped out. 

This is why the three of them started feeling nervous. 

"Make a detour quick!" Raul roared from inside the chariot. "Everyone, make sure that you do not, and I mean do not, flare your energies unless its necessary! Stay alert and go!"

After saying this, Raul gestured the two to sit down and the chariot started making a detour. The atmosphere inside the chariot turned a bit solemn, none of them spoke a word nor released any energy at all. 

The current situation is a little dangerous for them. Even as a Knight Monarch himself, Raul doesn't even know if he could protect himself once an Immortal Knight Emperor appears. 

On normal situations, they shouldn't be in danger. However, because their chariot went a little too close to the clash, both parties might think that they were reinforcements sent by the other party. If this happens, then they would be forcibly dragged onto this mess whether they like or not. 

Retreating is not an option either. It was most likely that they were already sensed by the two Immortal Knight Emperors even before the driver saw the clash happening. If they retreated, these two would definitely think that they're calling for reinforcements, therefore their escape path would definitely be blocked. 

The safest option is to keep a low profile and to silently make a detour. Doing this shall pass the message that their clash doesn't have anything to do with them and that they're pretending to see nothing. That being said, this isn't really a fool-proof plan. But in this situation, this is best choice Raul could make. 

The chariot made a detour, slowly widening the distance between them and the clashing parties by hundreds of kilometers, yet even with that distance, the shockwaves of the clash could still be felt. 

Raven kept his ocular technique active, his visual range is extended to a mile around him. Since his ocular technique doesn't really create a large energy ripple, he was completely safe to keep an eye out. 

He would've loved to watch the clash between two Immortal Emperor Powerhouses but due to the distance and their current situation, he couldn't do that. Additionally, some powerhouses have a very eccentric or treacherous temperaments. Raven was aware that they shouldn't offend either of them since they might not be able to bear the consequences. 

After making a detour and widening the distance between them and the clashing parties, the three involuntarily sighed in relief. With their current distance, everything should be safe now. Not to mention that the capital of Azure Sun Great World is near to where they are. With this in mind, they could finally relax. 

"Are they fighting for a badge?" Albert asked his father after a moment of silence. 

"Maybe. Maybe not." Raul shrugged, "From what I saw, the parties were from different sects. From their reaction, their sects should have a vendetta against each other. I don't know if its a dispute due to a badge or they just was to skin each other alive."

"Well, I'm glad that we're out of there." Raven sighed, "Damn, Immortal Knight Emperors huh? Good thing that they weren't exerting their full force or else their clash would've swept us too."

"I agree." Raul nodded solemnly, "Hopefully, they won't overdo it. Or else, they would alarm the Empyreans guarding this place." 

Albert and Raven nodded at this notion. Even the guards outside were hoping in their hearts that this situation won't get out hand simply because when that happens, they might get caught in this situation. 

***

Azure Sun City. 

This place is the capital of the Azure Sun Great World, it is also where the main event will take place and undoubtedly the most populated place, specially right now, at the Azure Sun Great World. 

Flying is not allowed in the capital. Fights are also not allowed as well as anything that has to do with disturbing the serenity of the capital. Only a few people are exempted from this simple rules but even so, they would be punished according to the laws set by the Empyreans themselves. 

That being said, things could really get out hand, specially now that a major event is bound to happen in three days. Of course, none would openly violate this rules, but humans could get really resourceful.

The Twin Star Academy is also situated in this place, located at the very center of the capital. 

Currently, a few people are seated in front of long, rectangular table. Each of them were wearing dignified expressions, at the same time some people are also visibly exhausted or stressed out. 

"I don't really know what to think about this event." One bald guy spoke in a solemn manner. "On one hand, I am extremely honored that our world could become the host of a such a grand event. On the other, I am feeling rather vexed due to the chaos it causes to our citizens."

"I completely sympathize with how you feel Deputy Head." A gorgeous woman replied, her delicate face expressed a deep frown. "The amount complains I am receiving daily during this past two months are haunting me even in my sleep."

"You got easy Mistress." Another guy with a long beard said in a complaining voice. "Do you know how many people had been visiting me to probe about the event? They just don't stop! Some of them are even threatening to wipe out my entire bloodline. I can't even sleep properly anymore." 

"I'm the same as you. Although instead of probing me about the events, they're trying to see if there are some excess badges. Some of them even wanted to search my spatial rings because they don't believe me! I can't sleep nor even take a single step outside without fearing for my life."

Almost everyone in the table expressed the suffering that they experienced during these past months due to this event. The whole gradually descended into chaos. Someone then smacked the table to get everyone's attention.

"Alright folks." The mediator spoke, "Yes we all suffered from this, and yes we understand each others' pain. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it. And frankly, I think we should just endure it. Remember that we are not doing this for free. The Ancient Elysium Sect told the Deans that all of us will receive-"

*Bang!*

"I'm sorry to interrupt you everyone, but we have a situation." The guy who broke through the door exclaimed in a distressed manner. He inhaled sharply before saying…

"The Envoys of Ancient Elysium Sect are coming."
