The legendary warrior

"The Misty South Palace is the most influential force in the Misty South mainly because of the Misty South Shadow, but there is no denying that the group itself is inherently powerful. The Misty South Shadow swore to have the Misty South Palace's back, and they took their word seriously.

In the past, many forces tried to make trouble for the Misty South Palace because they wanted the latter's power and influence, but they miserably failed because of the Misty South Shadow. Many of those forces even had demi-spiritual potentates, though that didn't help them, for the Misty South Shadow still destroyed them,"

Lloyd lengthily narrated.

"Whoa, really? The Misty South Shadow is that powerful?" Ricky and his friends exclaimed in sheer surprise.

"It looks like the Misty South Palace uses their power to kill and uphold justice in the continent," remarked Ricky as he fell deep in thought.

"Strength makes this world go around. You can achieve anything as long as you have the strength to back you up. Similarly, a force can succeed or fall depending on how strong its members are and as a whole.

And just like the Misty South Palace, most influential forces have their own powerful members lurking in the shadows. However, the Misty South Shadow is way out of their league.

In fact, members of the Misty South Shadow have the power to impeach the Misty South Palace's lord if they doubt his eligibility. You can say that they outrank even the highest leader of the sect.

But even though they have this power, they have never used it to dismiss anyone as far as I know.

Doesn't this make you curious? Why did the Misty South Palace put the South Misty Shadow in charge of your safety? I think that speaks of how much they value you. And besides, the South Misty Shadow could have vetoed the decision of the Misty South Palace's lord if they wanted to, but they didn't!" Lloyd gushed on excitedly.

"Sir, I think the Misty South Palace defended Ricky as a show of force against the other groups. It's highly likely an intimidation tactic," Claire chimed in.

"That's possible. After all, the peace is going to be disturbed. If the Misty South Palace wants to protect the continents, they must make sure that all forces respect them, or no one will submit to their authority anymore," replied Lloyd with a pensive nod.

However, only Ricky knew the real reason that the Misty South Palace sent the Misty South Shadow's members to keep him safe. It was because Otis thought of him as the next lord of the Misty South Palace.

'Misty South Shadow is indeed remarkable!' Ricky sighed in his mind.

Before long, he and his companions finally arrived in the Five-element Sect, safe and sound.

The forces that sent assassins after them naturally found out that they had returned safely and that the Misty South Shadow had intervened on Ricky's behalf.
