"Today, we will teach you how to be a qualified Commander on behalf of the Central Sky Department!" The Leonard Clan's old man shouted loudly and took the lead in launching an attack.
The other four didn't hesitate either, quickly following suit.
Five Half-Step War Grandmasters, each attacking from a different direction, unleashed their full power, aiming to cut down Casey in one fell swoop.
"Casey, be careful!" Night Orchid's face revealed a hint of worry.
"Don't worry!" Azure Dragon's lips curved into a smile. "Boss anticipated the possibility of other clans interfering in this matter. He still sent only Casey to deal with it. That means these old coots won't be able to hurt him!"
"But..." Night Orchid still seemed somewhat concerned. In her view, while Casey had a higher cultivation level than the five opponents, they were still five individuals. Moreover, they were all Half-step Grandmasters, and under their combined assault, it was hard to predict who would come out on top.
"Orchid, rest assured. I promise everything will be fine!" Azure Dragon calmly interrupted her.
At the same time, in the forest on the right side, two elderly men stood on a small hill, their gazes fixed on the direction of the courtyard's entrance. They stood motionless, blending seamlessly with their surroundings, emitting no fluctuations of energy. Even War Grandmaster-level experts would find it difficult to sense their presence.
"You really won't intervene? Aren't you worried that Casey might be killed by them?" One of them turned to the other and spoke.
"Rest assured!" The other responded.
"We came here today to prevent some secluded old freaks from meddling in this matter. Insects below the War Grandmaster level wouldn't be able to harm Casey!"
"Do you have so much confidence in Casey?"
"Heh, that's because you don't understand Casey and that kid, Billy," the old man replied.
"What do you mean?"
"First, Casey is stronger than you think. Don't underestimate him just because he's only an initial-stage War Grandmaster. Even against an opponent at the early War Grandmaster level, he isn't afraid!"
"Second, do you think Billy wouldn't have anticipated that other clans might intervene? Yet he still sent Casey alone, so he knows Casey won't be harmed!"
"I hope your speculation is correct. Otherwise, I won't let this go. It was already quite a task to find a Commander for the east region. If anything happens, you'll go there in person."
"Alright!" The old man chuckled lightly.
As the two spoke, at the courtyard entrance, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Casey's mouth. Then he shouted loudly, "Attempting to assassinate Commander Gardner is a capital crime, death penalty!"
"You shameless brat, it's you who should die!" The voice of one of the Leonard Clan's old men resounded.
In the next moment, the palm strikes of the five elderly men had already reached Casey, a fierce gust of wind accompanied their attacks.
"Die!" A hint of fervor flashed in Casey's eyes as he roared.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he twisted his wrist continuously, countless afterimages of his blade converging into a phantom blade shape, emitting a bone-chilling aura. Following that, the phantom blade shape spun like magic, rapidly rotating toward the strikes of the five men.
