Hanson sneered coldly and said, "It looks like you don't know the truth about the Keston Desert incident back then. Actually, it's not the hundreds of cultivators who provoked the dragon clan cultivator. According to what I know, this was only an excuse the dragon clan cultivator made up. Lord Horne, you should think this through. He killed hundreds of cultivators, which would inevitably attract a lot of trouble, so he deliberately claimed that those cultivators troubled him to shift the blame. Of course, these are all rumors. I didn't witness it myself, so I'm not sure what the truth is. However, I know that dragon clan cultivators have bad intentions. Lord Horne, we have to be careful of them." "I think there's no need to argue, Mister Hanson. The Chris family does not harbor any dragon clan cultivators, and this is not a place where you can search as you please, so I must ask you all to leave," Felix stated bluntly. "It looks like you have quite the temper, Lord Horne. If that's
With the sharp decrease in dragon clan cultivators, and in an effort to capture those who were in hiding, the leader of the Dragon Slayer Organization, a man known as Darknight, increased the bounty for dragon clan cultivators. Darknight had the protection of an upper dimension cultivator. He could use middle dimensional items as sacrifices to exchange for Power Elixir Drops. After the two previous dragon clan cultivators that he had slain in the past, this one that he just detected would be the third dragon clan cultivator handled by him. If Hanson could kill this one, he would gain the qualification to challenge the champion. The Dragon Slayer Organization had an arena, and only those who successfully became the arena's champion had the right to request rewards from Darknight.The rules of the Dragon Slayer Organization were extremely strict, but because of its generous rewards, many people still participated in the organization's trials each year.Hanson has been a member of the D
However, the secrecy only applied to outsiders. There were hardly any secrets within the nine major towns that the Dragon Slayer Organization was not privy to. Felix said as they walked along the mountain path, "Mister Hanson, further ahead is where the Vermillion Bird Stones are found. There was a volcanic eruption there just two days ago, so the stones must have formed by now. I'll take you there, and you can choose whichever ones you like." Suddenly, Hanson stopped walking. The five Dragon Slayer Organization members behind him halted simultaneously. Hanson turned his head, gazing at a nearby lake. A man was soaking in the lake with his eyes closed, the surrounding energy flowing into his body. A faint dragon aura emanated from him. That man was no other than Wilbur Penn! Hanson immediately turned and walked towards the lake. Felix hurriedly followed and asked, "Mister Hanson, what are you doing?" Hanson pointed at Wilbur in the lake, then turned to Felix and said, "Lord
Roar! Hanson hurriedly withdrew his sword to defend himself, but the powerful dragon aura sent him flying, crashing onto the shore. Dennis and the others did a coordinated attack at that moment. Wilbur expanded his astral defense several times over, which forced Dennis and the others to stop a few meters away. The azure dragon circled around the astral defense, and with a sudden burst of energy from Wilbur, the defense erupted with a thunderous boom. Then, the five of them were knocked backward. Some managed to stop in mid-air, but some fell into the water. Wilbur leaped to the shore and glanced through them. Hanson was so frightened that he quickly backed away. However, Wilbur turned to Felix and frowned with a puzzled expression. He asked, "Who are these people, Senior Horne? Why are they so rude? I was just cultivating in the lake. Why did they suddenly attack me?" Hanson glared at Wilbur before Felix could reply and scolded, "You're a dragon clan cultivator! Any cultivato
Feeling confused, Hanson asked, "In that case, please tell me, where should I look for this dragon clan cultivator, Patron?" The Patron replied, "Wilbur Penn is exceptional. I've heard that during the conflict among the four major families, Wilbur managed to fend off Dorrah's Senior Guard, Mike, who is a talisman cultivator. There are not many who can defeat a Senior Guard. Besides, Grote and Conrad are now loyal to Lord Babbit. These two could not be the ones who fought against Wilbur." Hanson frowned and asked, "Do you mean that the other dragon clan cultivator is Babbit himself? But Babbit owns the Azure Dragon Lake. He can obtain the energy from the Azure Dragon Lake just like Wilbur, so he can't be a real dragon clan cultivator." "In that case, there's only one suspect left," said the Patron. "Who is it?" asked Hanson. "Lord Edmund," the Patron stated. "What? Lord Edmund? How can this be? Why would he attack Wilbur?" "I thought it was strange too, but there was some
"Yes, my Lord," said Hanson. Hanson waved to gesture to the others to back down. Dennis walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Mister Hanson, did you forget what the Patron said?" "Back down!" ordered Hanson. Hanson ordered Dennis to back down because he knew that Lord George was present. There was no way Lord George would not help Lord Edmund if they attacked publicly. They only had twenty people. If a battle broke out, the two rulers would work together. He was afraid that they would be defeated even if Lord Edmund was injured. Moreover, Hanson owed his life to Lord George. He did not want to offend Lord George. Therefore, the only choice he had was to retreat and return to the Dragon Slayer Organization branch with the team. The Patron noticed Hanson's return and asked in a happy tone, "How was it? Edmund should be too injured to resist. Did you bring him back?" Hanson shook his head and replied, "No, I didn't manage to bring Edmund back because Lord George was ther
A carriage sped into the Chris family estate in the middle of the night. Felix headed toward the Vermillion Bird Mountains immediately to look for Wilbur when he heard the news. "It looks like the Dragon Slayer Organization caught on after all. I didn't expect it to be so soon," Wilbur whispered. The servant who came to send the message knelt to the floor and begged, "Please save my lord, Mister Penn. If you can help him through this crisis, you'll have the support of two major families in Buck Town. You may share Buck Town together with my lord, Mister Penn." Wilbur and Felix exchanged glances upon hearing that, looking rather shocked. Wilbur said, "Alright, you can go outside and wait for me. I'll be there shortly." "Yes, sir. Please hurry, Mister Penn," he begged. "Yeah, I got it," said Wilbur. Felix sighed after the servant left. He said, "Damn, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Lord Edmund would never offer to share Buck Town if he wasn't desperate. It's a
Upon hearing this, Edmund laughed heartily and said, "Alright, Wilbur. Since I've already said it, I will certainly follow through. Please, go ahead." "Okay." Wilbur and Edmund entered the inner courtyard together. Edmund then had someone prepare the finest food and drink. After eating and drinking for a while, they cleared the table and started enjoying tea and playing chess. Edmund said, "Mister Penn, how much has your injury recovered?" "Seventy percent." Wilbur placed a piece on the board and said, "Rest assured, Lord Edmund. Since I have promised to help you through this difficult time, I will stay here until the Dragon Slayer Organization no longer suspects you." Having dared to ask Edmund for the power to co-govern Buck Town, Wilbur had naturally made ample preparations. This time, even if it meant fighting the Dragon Slayer Organization to the death, it did not matter. After all, Wilbur's master, Orkot, had been schemed against by the Dragon Slayer Organization and
