Upon seeing Dario and his company arrive, Harlan didn’t show the slightest hint of panic. Instead, he scoffed coldly and said, “You really think you can stop me from getting the Divine Flame Seal? Don’t delude yourselves. Berthold, block their way with your men. Mr. Graham, help me set up the arcane array. We can’t let them interrupt me while I claim the Divine Flame Seal!”
Harlan issued commands loudly.
Berthold led a multitude of their faction’s disciples, charging straight toward Dario and his group.
The battle erupted in an instant. Carlo was quick to react, forming unique seals with his hands. Subsequently, a series of array runes formed around Harlan, engulfing both Harlan and the Divine Flame Seal in their midst.
Wielding her long sword, Juliet exclaimed, “Mr. Barclay, we absolutely cannot let Harlan get his hands on the Divine Flame Seal. Stop him!”
Dario nodded, transforming into a blazing meteor and shooting straight toward Harlan.
It seemed as though Dario planned to take down Harlan with him, refusing to let the latter get his hands on the Divine Flame Seal.
Boom!
However, Dario was instantly repelled by the arcane array with a thunderous crash.
Dario had no way to break through the arcane array Carlo had set up.
At that moment, none of them understood array craft. Their only option was to break through by force. However, the arcane array set up by Carlo, the elder of Duad Formation Sect, couldn’t be broken that easily.
Upon witnessing Dario exerting all his strength yet unable to break through the formation, Harlan burst into hearty laughter. Then, without any rush, he casually approached the Divine Flame Seal.
As a drop of blood essence fell onto the Divine Flame Seal, the seal emitted a burst of crimson radiance.
Upon seeing the situation, Harlan swiftly reached out and held the Divine Flame Seal in his hand.
“Hahaha, this is the Divine Flame Seal. This is the Divine Flame Seal!” Harlan guffawed.
Upon seeing Harlan obtain the Divine Flame Seal, the expressions of everyone present, be it Dario, Juliet, or Judd, changed dramatically instantly.
If Harlan obtained the Divine Flame Seal and was recognized as its master, the position of the Violet Flame Sect’s leader would be completely his.
Holding the Divine Flame Seal, Harlan roared excitedly, “With the Divine Flame Seal in my hand, disciples of the Violet Flame Sect, heed my command!”
Upon seeing the situation, Berthold quickly led the disciples from Harlan’s faction to kneel and pay their respects.
Dario and his party stared blankly, seemingly at a loss for what to do next.
With a cold gaze, Harlan asked Dario and his party, “What’s this? Are you ignoring orders, planning to rebel?”
“Hmph! Who knows if this Divine Flame Seal is real or not.” Dario scoffed, promptly raising his hand to unleash a tempest of flames that filled the sky.
Now, his only option was to cast doubt on the authenticity of the Divine Flame Seal as a stalling tactic.
“How audacious of you to strike the sect leader. According to the sect rules, you should be executed.”
Upon seeing the situation, an elder from Harlan’s faction bellowed and was about to stop Dario.
“Don’t mind him. I’ll show him whether this Divine Flame Seal is real or fake,” Harlan sneered.
The next second, Dario unleashed a sky full of flames. Countless columns of fire merged into a series of fiery tornadoes, all heading toward Harlan.
Seeing that, Juliet knew that Dario was no match for Harlan, so she, too, struck out with her palm.
With that strike, flames soared high. A bird, ablaze with fire, took to the skies, heading straight for Harlan.
The two of them joined forces to launch an attack on Harlan.
However, a slight smile played at the corners of Harlan’s mouth. He was not flustered in the slightest. Instead, he held the Divine Flame Seal high in his hand.
The Divine Flame Seal suddenly emitted countless streams of fire. All the flames from Dario and Juliet’s attacks instantly dissipated in the face of the Divine Flame Seal, causing no harm to Harlan.
Upon witnessing that scene, both Dario and Juliet were utterly taken aback.
However, the two individuals attacked once more, relentlessly directing a barrage of intense flames toward Harlan.
Regrettably, all those attacks vanished in the face of the Divine Flame Seal.
Dario and Juliet’s auras were in disarray, their foreheads drenched in cold sweat.
