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
"Because wind, fire, water, lightning, and earth are all encompassed within light and dark, most true experts tend to comprehend the power of the light or dark." "Thank you." "Thank me for what?" Wilbur and Edmund gazed at each other, and Wilbur said, "Thank you for telling me all this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about the existence of the seven powers. I think I've determined my direction in cultivation." Hearing this, Edmund said with great interest, "So, can you tell me which power you intend to comprehend and cultivate?" Wilbur said, "You'll know soon enough." "Hahaha, you speak with great confidence. It took me three thousand years to comprehend the energy of dark space and obtain the dark dimensional ring. Even if your talent surpasses mine, I think you'll need at least two thousand years to comprehend dimensional power." Wilbur smiled slightly and did not reply. In fact, being the successor of the Child of Light, Wilbur had long known about the ex
Wilbur lowered his head and pondered for a moment, feeling that Edmund's plan was feasible. He then asked, "I have one last question. If the Dragon Slayer Organization headquarters learns of this, aren't you afraid they'll come after you?" "The Dragon Slayer Organization has powerful forces in all nine major towns. If they join forces to attack together, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it." Edmund chuckled and said, "Mister Penn, you can rest assured about this. Each town has its own rules. Buck Town is a city of slaughter, and I, Edmund, am the lord here. If any cultivators intrude into my mansion without permission, I have the authority to order their execution. In this matter, I have done nothing wrong. If the Dragon Slayer Organization dares to take sudden action against me, the treaty between the nine City Lords will automatically kick into action. The other eight City Lords will come to my aid and deal with the Dragon Slayer Organization." Edmund slapped the table and
As night fell, Hanson led his men to invite Sivan to join them before going to Edmund's ruler's residence. Sivan was shocked and said, "Hanson, what are you doing?" Hanson bowed and said, "Mister Sivan, this time, you provided us with information about the dragon cultivator, and we are very grateful for it. So, for fairness, my brothers and I are inviting you to join us in killing Edmund." "If Mister Sivan can kill Edmund, the credit will go to you. Whoever kills Edmund will get the credit." "Impudent!" Sivan was furious and shouted, "Without me, would you have known that Edmund is a dragon cultivator? Without me, where would you find such an opportunity? If we manage to kill Edmund this time, the highest credit belongs to me, Sivan, not you, Hanson!" Sure enough, in his anger, Sivan revealed his true thoughts. However, Hanson had already anticipated this. Even with Sivan's anger, Hanson's expression did not change. Hanson waved his hand, and two cultivators rushed forwar
Seeing this, Sivan threw a smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared, Sivan had already jumped over the courtyard's wall. Wilbur hurriedly chased after him. Seeing Sivan escape, Hanson leaped onto the courtyard wall and fled in the opposite direction. At this moment, Edmund calmly said, "Today, kill every member of the Dragon Slayer Organization who entered the mansion. Leave no one alive!" After saying this, Edmund leaped over the courtyard wall and chased after Hanson. Wilbur pursued Sivan as they ran out of the city. Sivan kept throwing smoke bombs to confuse Wilbur. However, Wilbur merely smiled. His azure dragon aura could detect energy within a hundred-meter radius. No matter how many smoke bombs Sivan threw, he could not hide his aura. Eventually, they reached the frozen lake, where Sivan stumbled and fell to the ground. "Mister Penn, I beg you, please spare me," Sivan pleaded. "I swear I won't tell anyone about today. Please spare my life." Looking at Sivan kneeling and
Edmund was well aware that the Dragon Slayer Organization was not a simple adversary. Killing Hanson and Sivan would inevitably bring a lot of trouble, but he had no choice. If he did not kill them, they would bring even greater problems for him. Taking action now, while his identity as a dragon clan cultivator had not yet spread beyond Buck Town, was the best option. Additionally, Wilbur was a card he could use to win over Lord George. Since George had specifically asked him to look after Wilbur, and now that he had found Wilbur and brought him back, George would surely choose to help him. Wilbur and Edmund were now in the same boat. To save Wilbur, George would have no choice but to support him. With George's backing and the fact that Hanson and Sivan had acted against the rules by breaking into the City Lord's residence, Edmund had a perfect reason to kill them. Even if the Dragon Slayer Organization still suspected him, they would not dare to act rashly. They could easily order
The guards began to work together, and soon, the courtyard was cleaned up. Wilbur frowned and said, "Lord Edmund, killing them is one thing, but if you cut off their heads and hang them on the gate, it might provoke the wrath of the Dragon Slayer Organization. If that happens, it will surely be detrimental to us." Edmund turned to look at Wilbur and said, "Mister Penn, I know what you're trying to say. In fact, I originally thought the same way as you. But don't forget, I am the City Lord of Buck Town. Hanson and Sivan dared to openly break into my mansion with members of the Dragon Slayer Organization. This act is a clear affront to me. If I don't hang their heads on the gates, word will spread, and in the future, the cultivators of Buck Town will surely see me, Edmund, as an incompetent man. When that time comes, I'm afraid no one in Buck Town will respect me anymore." Seeing Edmund's furious demeanor, Wilbur was speechless. Indeed, although Edmund was a dragon clan cultivator, h
"I heard that Lord George of Walker City is a dragon clan cultivator. Hanson's disrespect toward Lord Edmund is a clear provocation. Lord Edmund wants to show the Dragon Slayer Organization that they must follow the rules from now on, or they are courting death." Everyone was amazed. No one felt sorry for the Dragon Slayer members. Although all cultivators envied the power and skill of dragon clan cultivators, the Dragon Slayer Organization had done many infuriating things under the guise of hunting for dragon clan cultivators, so their deaths seemed justified to the public. At this time, a black-robed cultivator hiding in the shadows turned and left after hearing the guard's words. He crossed the street, sneaked through a quiet alley to the back door of Buck Town's branch of the Dragon Slayer Organization, and after checking his surroundings, he went inside. In the second basement level of the Dragon Slayer Organization branch, there was a man-made pond filled with a viscous, bl
