The young man looked into the distance as he recounted. "Those people went by the following names: Gary Chance, Fez Sullard, Cody Wentz, and Kevin Jenkins. All four of them committed a murder, but no one else knew about it. Gary was the most evil out of the four of them. One day, while Gary was selling his mirrors in Grindstone Town, he met and fell for the wife of Walter Colt, an antique dealer. Colt's wife, Holly Summers, was also a fickle woman herself who was almost never loyal to her husband. She saw that Gary was interested in her and began sneaking him sultry glances here and there to seduce him. The two of them hooked up, and eventually, Gary came up with a plan to make Holly his own. Holly was only with Walter for his money and wanted him dead a long time ago so she could ride off into the sunset with his money and a man she actually loved. Yet Holly could not bring herself to do such a thing on her own and thus teamed up with Gary to plot against Walter. In the end, G
"Gary had pretended to say yes, but he no longer trusted women anymore. After the four men were done with Wendy, Gary had Chad strangle Wendy with a rope. Tammy was forced to watch her mother's murder with her own eyes, bawling her head off the whole time. Seeing that, Gary told Kevin to strangle Tammy as well. Just like that, the Sanders family lost their lives at the hands of Gary and his friends. Mister Sanders and his family were buried on Cockrow Hill, after which the four men fled." Wilbur frowned upon hearing this. "That's what those four bastards did?" The young man sighed. "You can't judge a book by its cover. Gary and his friends would never look like the type to commit such a heinous deed, but that's exactly what they did. That night, Gary saw Walter in the well. He slipped and fell into the water out of fear. Fez and the others saw the Sanders family in the well and ended up suffering the same fate. Yes, I killed them, but they deserved to die for their actions." Wi
"Maybe in the future, you might even surpass me in terms of power. When that happens, the mirror dimension you create could have a time speed of a thousand times faster than the outside world." "Oh…" Wilbur's face flushed upon hearing the words. "Isn't that a little inappropriate? You and Jade love each other, Mister No-Night. I'd be willing to wait another hundred years even if you didn't give me the bronze mirror. I respect you a lot… and I don't want to take advantage of you." "You're not taking advantage. I just feel like we met under pretty interesting circumstances. The bronze mirror might be lonely after I'm gone, you know? It might be good for you to carry it along with you on your cultivating journey." "I see. Well, I won't turn it down anymore, then." Wilbur took the mirror from No-Night, who leaned into his ear to whisper the spell to cultivate the mirror. He then pointed at a tower by a river, saying, "You can stay here for the next hundred years while you cultiva
Wilbur attempted to channel the power of light in his body into the mirror before using the Light Gloves to absorb the surrounding energy. Within just ten seconds, the tower Wilbur was in began to rumble violently. All of a sudden, a figure burst into Wilbur's room. No-Night glowered at Wilbur, shouting, "What do you think you're doing?" Wilbur scrambled to stop at once, and the tower stopped rumbling as well. He stared at No-Night, asking in a nervous tone, "I was trying to see if I could wield the mirror…" No-Night said, "Wilbur, you should know by now that this is a world forged out of energy aura. So no, you can't absorb the energy here or the whole mirror dimension will be destroyed. Even if that doesn't happen, the speed of time here might be affected as well." No-Night shook his head as he spoke, staring at Wilbur solemnly. "I can't lose Jade anymore, not even for a single day." "I understand, Senior No-Night. I promise not to absorb the energy here anymore." "I hope
Wilbur was pale in the face as he gasped, "Don't get too cocky. If I was able to break through the second seal, it means I'm able to wield all twenty percent of the dark energy." "Let's hope so," the Dark Lord mumbled in annoyance. Just then, No-Night's cries could be heard in the distance, "Jade! Jade!" … A powerful wave of energy rippled over. The tower Wilbur was sitting in shattered under its pressure, causing him to widen his eyes in shock as he flew toward the lake. Wilbur landed to see No-Night sitting in the middle of the debris, cradling a lifeless Jade in his arms. His black hair was completely white now, and he looked beside himself with grief. Tears rolled down his face as he muttered Jade's name over and over again. Wilbur's chest ached at the sight, but he knew that this had been Jade's fate from the start. "Miss Jade has passed on, Senior No-Night. Take care of yourself." No-Night turned to look at Wilbur, his voice oddly calm all of a sudden as he said, "I
Babbit's gaze flashed coldly. "You should know that whatever energy aura you're getting here is only a portion of what's in the Azure Dragon Lake, Wilbur. If you join the Reyne family, I promise you the best treatment on top of the chance to cultivate in the Azure Dragon Lake with Felix and me." "What?" Wilbur was shocked to hear his offer. Babbit was right. The energy aura in Planter Lake was only a fraction of that in the Azure Dragon Lake. If Wilbur really did get a chance to cultivate in the Azure Dragon Lake, he would be able to improve his cultivation much more quickly. But was this a sincere deal, or not? The Reyne family was the most powerful out of the Eight Great Families. Was Babbit, the head of this family, really willing to share such all that energy aura with him? Wilbur found it hard to believe and was hesitating when Babbit barked out a laugh. "What's the matter? Are you scared to come back with me? I'm sure you know that I'm more than capable of flattening y
Wilbur wobbled over to the small town by the mountain. His chest ached with every step he took, and it did not take long for blood to seep from the wound once more. The seal had clearly scabbed when he was by the river. Why was it splitting again? Could it be… him? The Dark Lord was now residing in Wilbur's body and would feel the same pain he felt. It should follow that the Dark Lord would be unconscious as well after Wilbur had passed out. Now that Wilbur had woken up, the Dark Lord should have awoken too. The thought made Wilbur bark out a laugh of self-deprecation. It seemed like the wound on his chest was never going to heal at this rate. Wilbur had thought that the Dark Lord would follow the orders Wilbur had given him, but he hardly even respected Wilbur at all. The Dark Lord's consciousness could still be controlled because the other ninety percent of his dark energy was sealed off, but he had devoured the powers of two Night Demons at the fishing village and Gemglass V
Through eavesdropping on the conversations in the crowd, Wilbur found out that the people of Greenpeak Town had found out through the fortune tellers that the worst tragedy they had ever seen in fifty years would be coming for the town in the next few days. If the town was able to get through this tragedy, the townsfolk would come out stronger and their luck would improve. However, if they could not get through the tragedy, they would suffer a terrible fate. In an attempt to mitigate the tragedy, the entire town had pooled together money to get the help of Lord Ourea, a statue of the Mountain God. Wilbur was confused as to what this tragedy coming for Greenpeak Town could be. Was it the Night Demon? If the tragedy to befall upon the town was the fifth Night Demon, Wilbur was going to stay here to help the townsfolk get rid of it. Despite the fact that the seal on his chest had opened up, Wilbur at least knew that the Dark Lord would not harm him in his battle against the Night De
