The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 65 The End

Azura and Kahn led their troops on the return journey, which took an exceptionally long time this time, as Lytton and his men had to walk alongside despite their injuries, severely impacting their marching speed.

Azura executed the plan meticulously, staging a brutal torture in every colony and city she passed through, causing great commotion in every place.

Some remained unmoved, some applauded, and others were furious. Regardless, compared to their slow journey, news of them spread rapidly throughout the Fire Blaze Kingdom, even reaching the ears of the Arrogant Ruler in the palace.

After the 'performance', Azura will provide them with the best treatment and basic food to ensure their safety.

No one saw this as an act of mercy, because everyone knew it was preparation for the next round of torture.

At first, Lytton and the others still had the strength to shout and curse, denouncing Kahn's betrayal. But later, as their bodies weakened and their voices became hoarse from shouting in pain for so long, they gradually fell silent.

They staggered and walked slowly along the way, like soulless zombies, a sight that would make any ordinary person's heart tremble.

During this time, even the royal guards became cautious, fearing that if they accidentally offended Azura, they too would suffer such cruel torment.

When they learned that Kahn was also involved in these plans, they immediately kept their distance from him, but also felt a sense of realization.

They had been wondering why Azura and Kahn were such good friends, and now it seems they were kindred spirits!

Can't be bothered.

However, when the guards were unaware, Lytton, who seemed numb, would secretly give Kahn a smile, and his still bright eyes beneath his disheveled appearance told Kahn that he still remembered their plan.

However, it was this very smile that caused Kahn to stagnate in his cultivation for the first time since his transmigration.

From the day he returned, no matter how much he meditated, his spirit control technique made no further progress.

As for the reason, he himself knew it perfectly well.

After witnessing the power of these tortures firsthand, he subconsciously thought that some people might not be able to endure it, but the result was unexpected, and the terrible situation he had anticipated did not occur.

Perhaps it was the strong will to survive of Lytton and the others, or perhaps it was the bright future described by Kahn that made them grit their teeth and persevere, but in any case, they did give Kahn their utmost trust, even entrusting their lives to him.

The fact that he was burdened with the lives of so many people for the first time, only to be left with an outcome that felt like a gamble, put him under immense pressure and made it impossible for him to calm down.

Azura witnessed all of this. She couldn't change the situation, but she came up with many good ideas to help Kahn relax.

such as--

"Woolf, speaking of which, you haven't received your fifty lashes yet, have you?"

Azura's sudden words made Woolf pause, and she responded hesitantly:

"Yes."

He thought that after he joined Azura's forces, the matter would be forgotten, but what does it mean to bring it up again now?

Settling scores after the fact? Did he do something wrong to offend her recently?

But he hasn't done it recently!

Woolf was both aggrieved and confused, but Azura turned to Kahn and said:

"Hey, Kahn, do you want to enforce military law? Just don't kill him."

Woolf: "???"

Even Kahn was speechless upon hearing this. Where did you come from, you devil?!

He refused:

"Forget it, I don't have that kind of hobby. Thanks anyway."

Azura could only shrug:

"Fine, whatever you want."

Although Azura's words were hard for Woolf to believe, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Kahn refuse, and his gaze toward Kahn held a hint of gratitude.

However, Azura ruthlessly shattered his illusions:

"Then you should go and accept your punishment yourself, don't try anything funny."

".yes."

Woolf agreed with a wry smile, resigning himself to his fate, as this was the punishment he was supposed to receive, and he didn't have many complaints.

Before long, another person with unsteady steps joined the group, which suddenly added a rare touch of relaxation and joy to the originally calm, boring, and slightly depressing atmosphere.

Time continued to pass, and after a long journey back, they finally returned to the capital.

This time, they also brought a large number of rebel troops who were like zombies.

Looking at the familiar, towering city walls before him, Kahn took a deep breath and exchanged a glance with Azura, both understanding each other's meaning.

This is the final stage.

Upon entering the city, they were immediately notified that the Grand Chancellor had ordered them to be summoned.

The people in the city also learned of their return and flocked to watch. Soon, the roadsides became crowded and noisy, accompanied by exclamations of surprise. The appearance of Lytton and his men truly frightened many people.

It seems that the two of them have become completely famous.

But fame often means trouble.

Upon entering the palace through the streets, Ao Zai immediately summoned not the two individuals, but rather the accompanying Imperial Guard Captain, Woolf.

Seeing Woolf limping, Aozai was somewhat surprised, but after learning the reason, he ignored it and went straight to the point, asking Woolf to recount the details of the mission.

Woolf gave a detailed account of everything, without excessively praising or glorifying Azura's actions simply because she had joined her ranks.

Firstly, it might expose him; secondly, it was unnecessary. Even if it were just a straightforward account, Azura's actions were already impressive enough, and there was no need to add anything unnecessary.

"Not bad, indeed very good, but why did you disobey my orders without authorization!?"

Ao Zai's tone was very stern, as if they had committed some heinous crime.

Woolf could only nervously repeat Azura's words, her body trembling with cold sweat.

Is it a waste?

After listening, Ao Zai remained noncommittal, and then asked:

What's your opinion of Kahn as a person?

Woolf answered without hesitation:

"He's very strong and very talented."

"He's very talented, I know that, but what I want to ask about is his situation with Airo's former subordinates."

Woolf suddenly realized, and continued:

"Their relationship was terrible. The leader of the unit was personally defeated by Kahn, who continued to hurl insults at him on the way. It is said that he also had advice on how to deal with Airo's old subordinates."

After listening, Ao Zai seemed to be deep in thought. After dismissing him, he summoned Azura alone and received a similar answer.

Finally, he summoned Kahn together, without asking him anything, simply praising the two of them before letting Kahn go back to rest.

The next day, the order from the Grand Duke was announced, and Lytton and others were paraded through the streets as a warning to the world. Afterward, they were sent to the mines and imprisoned for life.

Kahn finally felt relieved.
