As she spoke, Morticia's gaze beamed with hope as she looked at Stella.
Stella was pretty young but incredibly powerful. The Sea Dragon Palace would undoubtedly be much stronger if Morticia were to take Stella under her wing.
Stella's expression flashed with fury in an instant upon hearing Morticia's offer. She retaliated without hesitation.
"The Scopes have lived on the Ice Fire Island minding our own business. We don't want anything to do with the scum of the Nine Continents like you bastards! Fight us if you must. We'll never yield."
Stella looked frail and weak, but she was incredibly strong-willed.
To Stella, Morticia was nothing more than the head of a bunch of pirates. To put it crudely, Morticia was nothing more than a good-for-nothing who brought shame and chaos to the Nine Continents.
Stella was absolutely not going to treat her nicely.
What Stella did not know was that the girl before her was something.
Morticia's expression hardened with anger. "Very well! Since you don't know who you're talking to, don't fault me for being harsh."
As soon as the words rang through the air, a strong aura radiated from Morticia's body. She raised a hand, bringing it down onto Stella in a blow quick as lightning.
Morticia moved incredibly fast, leaving behind a ghost of constricted air in her wake.
Such speed!
Sensing the terrifying aura radiating from Morticia, Stella's expression shifted. Unfortunately, she did not manage to dodge in time, and she had no choice but to grit her teeth and meet the attack.
"Clang!
The two blows collided, letting out an ear-splitting sound that sent internal energy rippling through the air around them. Stella trembled, falling backward a good number of steps with a dull hum before catching herself.
Morticia, on the other hand, remained unmoved.
What…
Stella's senses were flooded with shock as she stared at Morticia in disbelief.
The woman was unbelievably powerful. It was important to note that Stella's cultivation had reached the late stage of Heaven Ascension, making her likely to be even more powerful than the sect masters of the Nine Continents.
How could it be that she had barely been able to take a single blow from that lady?
Just then, the four Scope brothers were also fighting a tough battle of their own against Forsythe and the Blanc elders.
