Wilbur noticed Augheimer's surprise, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you that surprised?" "I'm indeed very surprised. You probably don't know what Senior Horne is capable of. As far as I know, he managed to earn hundreds of gold coins in only three months. That's something that would take others hundreds of years to achieve. I can help you ask around for his whereabouts, but you should know that the Reyne family has strict security. Ordinary cultivators are not allowed to be near the head of the family. For now, I'm not able to do that," Augheimer replied. "Yeah, thanks. I look forward to good news," Wilbur said. Wilbur wanted to leave, so Augheimer stopped him by saying, "Wait, Wilbur. I have a request. You should know that cultivating in Buck Town is very difficult, so I hope you can help me out." Wilbur turned to look at Augheimer upon hearing that. He nodded and said, "I understand. I can give you fifty gold coins for now. Once I rescue Senior Horne, I'll give y
Otherwise, they would only be killed. Wilbur reflected on the past, and he found himself understanding Augheimer a bit more. It seemed that life in Buck Town was not easy. The cultivators living in Buck Town were members of the Eight Great Families, working as slaves in the vast town. They were busy every day, with hardly any time for themselves. One could always hide in caves and hunt for food outside the town. It was more remote, and even though the meals were not lavish, it provided the freedom to have private cultivation time for improvement. It had been less than two years since Wilbur arrived in Buck Town. He gained a thousand and five hundred years' worth of cultivation in two years. Such rapid progress was enough to make countless cultivators envious. Wilbur also reflected on why his cultivation had improved so rapidly. While he was cultivating in the mirror dimension, Felix told him that dimensional items were extremely rare, and only a few people possessed such artifa
In other words, the Eight Great Families were an exception in Buck Town. The killing would not work upon encountering members of the Eight Great Families. If a member of the Eight Great Families was attacked and killed without them initiating the fight, their respective family would send people to hunt down and kill the assailant. That was precisely why the members of the Eight Great Families had immunity. They had a safe place in Buck Town with the town tokens granted by the Eight Great Families. They would not be killed as long as they did not provoke others. Many cultivators went to great lengths to join the Eight Great Families. Unfortunately, the Eight Great Families only select a thousand individuals from the tens of thousands of slaves arriving in Buck Town each day. The other slaves were not accepted unless they possessed exceptional cultivation, managed to survive on their own, ranked as the top ten cultivators of the four major trial grounds, or succeeded in the semiannua
Bam!The hammer smashed heavily into the ground as Wilbur deftly moved behind Thom. He said calmly, "Your strength is there, but you're not agile enough.""Damn it! Die, you bastard!" Thom swung his hammer horizontally toward Wilbur. However, Wilbur flew into the air before the hammer could hit. Wilbur grabbed Thom's hand, and with an over-the-shoulder throw, he took Thom down. Bam! The hammer fell heavily onto the ground. Wilbur looked at Thom and said, "You lost." With that, Wilbur turned around and left. The surrounding crowd dispersed. Thom got up from the ground and glared at Wilbur's back. He clenched his jaw and said, "Stop it right there, you arrogant fool! Which family are you from? I might not be your match, but my senior will defeat you! Do you dare tell me your name?" Wilbur stopped for a moment, but he did not speak. Following that, he quickly walked away from Buck Town. Thom waved his fists in the air and scolded, "Damn you! I'll make you kneel and apologize o
Babbit told Felix on the shores of Planter Lake that he wanted him to be his eternal servant. Truthfully, Babbit was trying to reassure Felix because he knew that Felix was an expert thief. Babbit hoped that Felix could steal the Dark Mask from Edmund for him. Moreover, when Felix mentioned that Wilbur was under the protection of an upper-dimension cultivator, it became a source of uneasiness for Babbit. The cultivation level of upper-dimension cultivators was incredibly powerful, and if they came looking for Felix, they might not only take him away but also pose a direct threat to Babbit. Babbit did not want new troubles with the internal conflicts in Buck Town still unresolved. Therefore, Babbit needed Felix to act quickly. He felt that if Wilbur came looking for trouble while Felix was gone to Edmund's residence, he could blame it all on Edmund. If Wilbur did not appear, and Felix stole the Dark Mask successfully, the heads of the Eight Great Families could work together and k
"What do you mean by replacing Babbit?" Felix asked with a frown. A smile slowly appeared on Edmund's face. At that moment, Edmund, who had been meditating on the stone bed, suddenly opened his eyes and got up. As he stepped down from the stone bed, under Felix's watchful gaze, Edmund's appearance began to change. In just a few seconds, he transformed into the likeness of Babbit Reyne. "What? This is…" At this moment, Babbit spoke, "Felix, why do you not kneel when you see your patriarch?" Felix looked at Edmund in shock. Suddenly, Edmund threw his head back and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, Felix, as long as you follow my instructions, the two of us can surely kill Babbit. When that time comes, we will be the true controllers of the Reyne family. From now on, you, Felix, will be second only to one person, while I, Edmund, will still be a powerless lord who fears the Eight Great Families. Hehe, who in the world would know about this change?" In an instant, Felix finally understoo
Felix stood up from the ground, clutching his chest and enduring the pain. Watching Edmund's back, he was deeply shocked. Felix had initially believed that although Edmund had some power, he was at a relative disadvantage by opposing the Eight Great Families. In such a situation, Edmund would certainly appreciate every cultivator willing to join him and work for him. Felix had chosen to join Edmund at this time to gain his favor, thinking that by having a dual identity, he could benefit from both sides. However, Edmund has finally revealed his ambition. Felix, who was very skilled at understanding others' thoughts, had not seen through Edmund in the past. Now, he finally realized that Edmund's kindness was just an illusion. He merely saw Felix as a pawn. Tonight, if Felix completed Edmund's wish by using a trick to remove Babbit, the head of the Reyne family, then from now on, with Edmund in control of the Reyne family, he would have no more enemies in Buck Town. By then, Felix
At this moment, Felix deliberately coughed twice, looked at Babbit, and said, "Lord Babbit, please don't doubt me. To get the Dark Mask, I exerted tremendous effort and almost died in the City Lord's mansion. Now that I have brought back the Dark Mask, I hope you will be pleased." Babbit was secretly pleased but still maintained a stern expression and frowned, saying, "You are injured?" "Yes, sir. I was discovered by Edmund, who injured me. Just now… cough…" "Felix, stop talking and get up quickly." Babbit helped Felix up from the ground, then took the Dark Mask from Felix's hands. After examining it closely, Babbit felt the powerful energy emanating from the Dark Mask and was secretly delighted. He said, "This is indeed Lord Edmund's Dark Mask. It's rumored that this Dark Mask contains eight thousand years of Edmund's cultivation." "Whoever obtains this Dark Mask can gain eight thousand years of Edmund's cultivation." Felix cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, sir. N
