Seeing the group of over two dozen high-level Spiritual Saints in the surrounding area demanding his surrender, Minos smiled at the reception of these people.

"Let's take it easy, people. I'm here, aren't I?" He said in the direction of the level 79 individual who was commanding these people.

The group leader that had traveled alongside Minos soon joined that other individual, passing command of the situation to that person, the supreme elder of the Edwardstone family.

Oswald saw who was there to arrest his grandson and said. "There is no need for that, elder Bush. Minos is cooperating with everything so far. So why not let him walk on his own? He wouldn't have even come here if he wasn't committed to resolving this matter."

The ruler of this empire looked at Oswald and felt disappointed that this local expert had such an unusual grandson who only caused them trouble.

But he took no notice of Oswald's background nor of the fact that Minos was only a young man in his conception. On the contrary, he was certain that arresting this individual would be best, at least, to stop further trouble coming to this state.

Before Minos, the Flaming Empire only had the northern states to worry about. But now, there were even internal problems, with the imperial family suffering from losing its main leader.

So this person did not see Minos at all well and could not help but blame him for all the recent problems of this organization.

"Oswald, don't try to convince us. If you talk too much, even someone with your background can end up getting dirty in this matter." He said, looking at that old man next to Minos but also keeping an eye on this outlaw. "Your grandson is trouble. He will lead everyone he relates to into tragedies. So this may very well be something that will save you and your family."

"Oh?" Minos said. "Senior, don't exaggerate. I rarely cause trouble. But what can I do if opponents keep challenging me? Don't tell me that I should just accept their harassment and surrender my own life, just so as not to cause trouble for other people?"

"Tsk!"

"There's no use talking to you, boy. I know you're the type who has miraculous excuses for everything. You are evil by nature!" That elder commented firmly.

"That way, will you surrender or take the hard way?" His aura became sharper as he prepared to act.

Minos had the Black Hole Bombs, but this elder did not think Emperor Stuart would have the courage to use such things in this city. After all, Isabella was also nearby, and not only was there a risk that this would endanger her life, but would he risk earning her hatred by killing people in her family?

This old fellow thought not, so he was willing to act!historical

Minos' eyes narrowed, and he said. "Where is Isabella? I want to talk to her."

"You don't decide things here, kid." The old man insisted in his hard way.

"Then we have nothing to do. I'll leave this city, and we'll forget all about it." Minos shook his shoulders, knowing he could not force his way into this place, but the other party did not have enough to hold him back.

"Humph!"

"Do you think I will allow you to run away? Dream on!"

The people in the surrounding area became tenser at these words, as not everyone was so confident that Minos was not a fanatical madman who would blow everyone there up.

Even Minos' grandfather became a little more worried, sensing that a battle would happen in the middle of this big city.

The people in the surrounding area, several curious people who were already crowding around, also noticed the tension in the area and began to disperse, afraid of being involved.

"Damn it!"

"Minos Stuart and the supreme elder are getting weirded out!"

"Two madmen, when they come face to face, cause disaster for everyone..."

Several comments arose among the people moving away from the area.

The supreme elder of the Edwardstone family had his own history. Therefore, the citizens had no compassion in talking about his fame, something coming from his hardline stance on such matters.

This individual and Minos ignored the people in the area as they looked at each other intensely, each observing who would act first.

Minos then said. "Old man, your organization does not have the means to arrest me. So even if I surrender, I can come and go as I please. Why don't you let me show you this? We'll go my way after that."

That old man's eyebrows drew together. He did not quite understand what Minos was saying, but it seemed that somehow this person was trying to bet with him about this surrender.

"How do you intend to show this? I am curious to know how a mere Spiritual Emperor will stand up to local suppression methods." This fellow said, interested to see Minos try.

"I will allow one of you to seal my cultivation with arrays used to limit the powers and movements of criminals. But I will escape those items, and you will forget about forcing me to do that." Minos smiled, confident that he could do that.

He did not want to have his cultivation threatened by sealing items. Still, to prove himself against these people and achieve his goals there, he decided to allow himself to be arrested. This way, he could show these people that he was there because he wanted to be.

Everyone in the area, including Oswald, found this strange since all this discussion was about Minos not surrendering. But now, all of a sudden, he suggested such an absurd thing.

"Is he crazy?"

"Is he bipolar?"

As comments in hushed tones flew around the area, the elder Bush said. "Very well, I want to see this amazing ability that can negate spiritual sealing arrays!"

Everyone knew that spiritual sealing arrays were invulnerable to beings at lower levels than the level of the item itself. That is, a sealing array made to seal people up to level 70, for example, would be impossible for someone like that to escape from it. Only those stronger ones had a chance to escape from such a thing after putting some effort into it.

Considering that he would not use ordinary items with Minos, everyone there judged that this young man was surrendering without looking so weak.

'Tsk!'

'What an actor!' The supreme elder thought to himself but moved on with this situation, ordering two of his subordinates to place several of these arrays into Minos' body.

After feeling bad about having his cultivation sealed off, with his legs and arms restrained by items of this nature, Minos looked at those individuals in the vicinity and showed one of his wrists to them.

In doing so, he squeezed hard on such a thing while the Spatial Kingdom ring acted, trying to teleport him into that dimension.

Unfortunately, for this to happen, the cultivation of the one teleporting would need to be 'whole.'

While with those items on Minos' body, in the blink of an eye, the top-grade item on one of that emperor's fingers acted to help him.

Crack!

Cracks began to appear in the items holding Emperor Stuart, while a tremendous force appeared in his surroundings.

"What?"

In the blink of an eye, all those items broke, releasing all of Minos' cultivation for the people there to feel, noting that he was telling the truth.

Even using the best local sealing arrays, high-level grade-3 ones, they could not contain this individual!
