Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2713

Grenn frowned when he learned of the alliance between Grandiuno Sacred Land, Greatflare, and Northsea. The eerie demonic aura around him surged, and a strong murderous intent became perceivable. He snorted coldly, then stood up and said respectfully to Baldwin, "I believe we should strike first and head straight to Grandiuno Sacred Land!"

Not far from him, Horra—a fierce-looking old devil with the figure of a lanky, 50-something old man—concurred. "What Grenn said is correct. Delaying this will only allow the remaining forces in Midland to unite with Grandiuno Sacred Land. Should that happen, then it would be extremely troublesome to start a war."

Ever since he obtained the Rule of Celestial Demon from Baldwin, their abilities had improved greatly, and they held Baldwin's Great Ancestora clone status in high regard. Their cooperation with Baldwin was not without ulterior motives though—their desire for the Primordial Sacred Land to wage war with the Grandiuno Sacred Land at the soonest possible opportunity was driven by a longstanding hunger for the blood of practitioners.

Baldwin shared their sentiment, as he too desired the blood of practitioners. However, he knew his current clone's strength was insufficient to break through the restrictions of heaven and earth and release his true body from those shackles. Moreover, even if he wanted to be released, Xavier of the Primordial Sacred Land and the demons like Grenn might not consent because it would immediately trigger the conflict.

A cooperation was fine, but no one was willing to join forces with the half-immortals from the three sacred lands to release his true body. After all, Xavier, Grenn, and Horra were secretly wary of him.

In order to break free from that suppression, a substantial amount of blood was required to escape that ancestral land. Having taken all that into consideration, Baldwin placed his palm on the table and tapping his fingertips against the sandalwood tabletop. "No, Adrian is too strong, and Xavier from the Primordial Sacred Land is still in retreat. If we start the war now, our chances of winning might be slim," Baldwin said with a frown.
