Once that was said, Gerlad and the others then turned to leave⊠Staring as they slowly walked off in the distance, it was quite a while later before the woman clutched the gold coins in her hands before leaving as well. Fast forward to evening, Gerald and the others had managed to find a suitable hotel to stay the night in. Since all five of them were going to share a room tonight, everyone began relaxing once they were done unpacking. After a short while, Rayâwho was sitting on one of the beds by this pointâcouldnât help but say, ââŠHonestly, Mr. Crawford, I think we should leave Dragonblood City as soon as possible. After all, the Hulkeroic Union is definitely coming after our heads after what weâve done!â Since the Hulkeroic Union was so powerful in Dragonblood City, it was only natural that they would quickly realize that four of their disciples had been slaughtered, and it was exactly because of that that Ray was so worried. Understanding that it would be disadvantageou
Upon seeing how worried Nori was when she asked that question, Gerald couldnât help but frown. To think that those from the Hulkeroic Union would be this quick to act. After a brief pause, Gerald then obeyed, ââŠPack up. Weâre heading up to the roof for now!â Upon hearing that, the others quickly did as they were instructed. Shortly after, all five of them then leaped onto the roof from the hotelâs window. The plan now was to lie down there and observe how the situation played out⊠It was barely even seconds after they had gotten onto the roof when Xuio and his men began barging into the hotel. After interrogating the hotelâs owner, Xuio learned that the ones they were hunting for were here. With that, Xuio instantly ordered the hotel owner to lead them to Geraldâs room. Upon arriving at the door, Xuio kicked it open with a loud âbangâ before instructing his men to rush in! However, they quickly realized that the room was deserted! Raising a brow, Xuio then glared at the h
After walking for quite a while, the party suddenly heard someone call out, âHmm? If it isnât Miss Zorn!â Upon hearing that, all six of them stopped in their tracks before turning to look at who had said that⊠ââŠOh, itâs you. To what do I owe this pleasure, young master of the Wroe family?â replied the woman with a snort. Just from her reply alone, it was evident that she didnât have a good impression of the youth. Gerald and the others didnât have a hard time imagining why. After all, a single glance was all it took for them to register that he was a hedonistic child who had rich parents. The youth went by Quaan Wroe, and just as the woman had said, he was the young master of the Wroe family. The Wroes themselves were famous for their strength, particularly within Dragonblood City. From what Gerald could see, Quaan had already entered the Third-soul-rank within the Sage Realm, which definitely proved that the Wroe familyâs strength was no exaggeration. âOh, donât be so col
The way things were going, it was clear that he wouldnât be able to easily walk out of this anyway. Before Gerald could say anything else, Meilani secretly winked at him before whispering, âPlease teach him a lesson for me, Gerald! This guy just loves pestering me!â âAllow me to remind you that Iâm not your hired thug!â âIâm sorry if I made it sound that way, but please, please help me outâŠ! Donât worry, if anything happens, Iâll be sure to take responsibility for it!â pleaded Meilani as she made puppy dog eyes. Hearing that, Gerald could only sigh as he agreed to her request. âHey kid, you mustâve cheated to defeat Juno, right? You couldnât possibly have taken her down any way else! With that in mind, I hope youâre ready to receive a good pummelling!â scoffed Quaan as he pointed confidently at Gerald. Before Gerald could even reply, Quaan began dashing toward him! However, Quaan was so pitifully slow that Gerald couldnât help but feel sorry for him. Compared to Meilaniâw
The delighted Meilani couldnât help but smile when she saw Quaan getting destroyed like that. To her, he was finally reaping what he sowed, and he deserved all that had just happened to him. Regardless, what happened to him next was of little concern to her. With that in mind, Meilani then led Gerald and the others away from there⊠It wasnât too long after they left when Quaanâwho had fainted from all the painâslowly regained his consciousness⊠Upon crawling to his knees, he instantly placed his hand against his chest when he felt an acute pain there! It appeared that he had suffered some internal injuries⊠Looking around to see where Meilani and Gerald were, he quickly realized that they were long gone. With another surge of excruciating pain, Quaan was unable to remain conscious and ended up flopping to the ground again, completely devoid of energy⊠Shortly after, Gerald and his party arrived at the Zorn familyâs residence under Meilaniâs guide. âI canât believe how mean
âIndeed. While curing a person whose martial arts skills have been annihilated has been immensely difficult from the dawn of time, there is a way to get it done⊠Your son can definitely be healed if we manage to obtain an ancient secret medicine called the Guddegella! Once the young master ingests it, heâll surely be able to regain the ability to use martial arts!â explained Quid. âAnd how do I obtain this medicine?â asked Quid eagerly. Of course, obtaining such precious medicine was never going to be easy. âWell, according to the legend, the Guddegella can be found at the crisscross of vast rivers and streams in the Treholm Highlands. With that said, itâs not easily obtained. As proof of that, the Guddegella has only been successfully acquired twice throughout history!â replied Lidorn. While that was certainly disheartening to hear, it was better than having no cure at all. At the very least there existed a chance for his son to function normally again⊠âDonât you worry, Mr.
âGo seek shelter, Meilani! Iâll deal with them!â instructed Gerald. Understanding that staying here would only give Gerald more troubleâsince she didnât know any martial artsâ, Meilani simply nodded before running off. At the very least, she could look for help⊠Once he was sure that she had left, Gerald turned to look at the three elderly men again⊠and with that, their battle commenced! Facing an onslaught of attacks from three people who had already entered the Avatar Realm, it quickly became increasingly strenuous for Gerald to deal with them. With that in mind, Gerald could only stall for time and look for gaps for him to strike⊠Eventually, however, three on one was a little too much for him, and Lidorn finally managed to land a blow on Gerald! Upon impact, Gerald was instantly flung backward as blood spurted out of his mouth! Landing hard on the ground, Gerald was well aware that Lidornâs strike had undoubtedly caused massive damage to his inner breathing shield. St
It was around then when Meilani returned to the scene together with Nori and the others. Upon realizing that Geraldâs master had killed off the three elderly assailants, Meilani was instantly shocked. To think that he was this powerful⊠Having such a strong master, it now made sense why Gerald was able to be as strong as he currently was! Quickly snapping out of it and returning her attention to Gerald, Meilani then rushed over to the injured youth while calling out, âGeraldâŠ!â Call as she might, Gerald was already unconscious⊠With the three old men dealt with, Sumeru then sheathed his sword before heading over to Geraldâs side and inspecting his wounds. ââŠHis inner breathing structure is in a mess⊠I need to treat him immediately!â declared Sumeru after checking for Geraldâs pulse through the youthâs wrist. Following that, he lifted Gerald in his arms and ranâunder Meilaniâs guidanceâall the way to Geraldâs room. After placing the unconscious Gerald on his bed, Sumeru t
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, âW-what powerâŠ!â As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, âAttackâŠ!â And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire skyâŠ! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Darylâs devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! âNoâŠ!â howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate⊠yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up⊠Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever⊠âDarling, itâs your brotherâs wedding day today⊠Shouldnât we head over earlier? Youâve been dolling yourself up for ages!â âFine, dad⊠Though, isnât Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brotherâs gone through so many hardsh
âDarylâs been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfatherâs body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!â âIn order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lordâs efforts, theyâve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?â explained Finnley. ââŠSo thatâs the truth⊠Then, howâs Mila?â asked Gerald. âSheâs fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!â replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear⊠Still, as it turned out, the Sun League werenât villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the
His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didnât take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish powerâŠ! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sectâs master scoffed, âI know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit wonât save you this time!â Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, ââŠWho on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?â Laughing in response, the master then said, âOh, youâll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supremeâŠ!â Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but frown even more.
ââŠThis formation. It feels⊠familiar,â muttered Sanchez. âSame thought here. I think itâs the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!â replied Gerald. âAh, no wonder it felt so familiar⊠Though, wasnât this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?â asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sectâs other mysterious and bizarre formations⊠Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future⊠Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, âI read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Geraldâs question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating⊠and it wasnât long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches⊠In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, ââŠTheseâŠâ Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, ââŠI take it that the herbalist theyâre looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?â ââŠWell, itâs hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasnât right⊠Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?â muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. âI really canât sayâŠ! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!â replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. ââŠIs that the truth?â âI swear on my life!â exc
âFlaxen, you bloody traitorâŠ!â roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, âWho⊠Who the hell are you peopleâŠ?!ââYou donât need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,â scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.ââŠWho the hell do you think you are? What makes you think Iâll comply so easily?â growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand⊠and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor manâs arms!âIf you want your other limbs intact, donât make me repeat the question,â growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,
From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zemanâs books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, âSo, they want to ambush some herb lady⊠Is she the one weâre looking for?â Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, âI had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!â Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldnât help but scoff,
There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Darylâs hideout⊠Hopefully the Yinblood pelletâthat was now in his handsâwould aid with that effort⊠As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearlâs instructions. After all, heâd only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Geraldâs cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared⊠Re
Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldnât help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that theyâd never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, âYouâre really something else, GeraldâŠ! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the generalâs tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!â âOh, donât you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, Iâm sure youâll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if youâre already thinking about killing me t
