The legend of the Child of Light had long instilled fear in people's hearts, and Wilbur's special identity and strength only deepened their shock. Many believed that killing Wilbur would resolve the situation, ensuring that the legend of the Child of Light would not resurface. However, it now seemed that achieving this would be far more challenging than anticipated. Jeems led the group back to the resting area beneath the platform. One of his subordinates asked, "Mister Jeems, what should we do now? Mister Horst is dead. If the patriarch finds out, what will we do?" "The patriarch?" Jeems' eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. "I almost forgot! The patriarch is supposed to exit seclusion today. Quickly, send someone to inform the patriarch. While we may fear Bale, the patriarch surely will not. As long as the patriarch arrives before the tournament ends, Wilbur is as good as dead!" After issuing these instructions, Jeems sent one of his men back to the March family as quickly as
Hearing this, Jeems quickly stood up to greet him, bowing and saying, "Patriarch, you've finally arrived. Mister Horst was killed by Wilbur during the battle. You must seek justice for him." "Wilbur?" Jalone looked in the direction Jeems pointed, then in a flash, he turned into a shadow and instantly appeared in front of Wilbur. Staring at him, Jalone said, "Was it you who killed my son, Horst?" Wilbur looked back at Jalone, his face cold and expressionless, and replied, "Yes, Horst was killed by me." "How dare you speak to me in that tone," Jalone retorted. As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from him, sending Wilbur flying several meters away and crashing to the ground. Gasping for breath, Wilbur muttered, "Such power…" "Hold on!" At that moment, Bale leaped forward and stood in front of Wilbur, then swiftly struck out, meeting Jalone's palm. Both of them were forced to take several steps back. Jalone, his face cold, said, "Bale, I'm handling my family matters. If you kn
Upon hearing this, Jalone furrowed his brow. Though he did not hold George in high regard, he was not ready to make an enemy out of him. Jalone took a deep breath and said, "The challenge is meant for sparring, and it should stop short of causing serious harm. Gravely injuring an opponent is already unkind and killing them is even more so. Should such an unkind and unjust person be protected by you, Lord George?" "Heh," George chuckled lightly. "Mister March, if we're talking about being unkind and unjust, it seems your two sons fit that description far better. From what I know, during the tournament, your son Marco repeatedly used hidden weapons, each time intending to kill his opponents. He killed quite a few. Later, when Marco was slain, your family blamed everyone in the arena and those who competed against him." He looked at the March family participants, then continued, "In response, your family wantonly killed innocent people, taking several lives. Today, in the first mat
Bale smiled faintly and, after watching Jalone and the March family leave the arena, announced, "Now that the March family participants have forfeited, I declare that due to the special circumstances, we will proceed straight to the Middle Guard Challenge." After the March family left, eight contestants remained in the arena. Following Bale's command, eight Middle Guards took turns facing off against the eight contestants. This time, four of the contestants were defeated, leaving only four to advance. Two of them chose to take the title of Middle Guard. In the end, only Wilbur and Locke were left to challenge for the title of Senior Guard. The rules for challenging the Senior Guard were that Wilbur and Locke would each face the current Senior Guard. The one who won would become the Senior Guard, and if both were victorious, they would both be granted the title. At this point, the tournament could conclude. However, if Wilbur and Locke wished to compete against each other to determi
In the Nine Major Towns, it was common to encounter exceptional individuals. After all, the Nine Major Towns were the center of the middle dimension, attracting cultivators from various worlds within this dimension. Once a cultivator reached a certain level of mastery, they inevitably headed for the Nine Major Towns. This was because the nine towns held the only gateway to the higher dimensions. Only those who reach the Nine Major Towns could ultimately ascend to the higher dimensions. However, Wilbur currently had no plans to move to the higher dimensions. Being treated as a pseudo-lord in the middle dimension is far better than being a minor player in the higher dimension. Moreover, Wilbur has yet to uncover the secrets of the four energy sources in Buck Town. In fact, Wilbur always felt a unique attraction to Buck Town, as if some mysterious force there was calling out to him. Because he had promised Lord Edmund before coming to Walker Town, after obtaining the Senior Guard t
"Dalton?" Wilbur frowned and said, "Isn't he the leader of the Dragon Slayer Organization, Lord Edmund? Why would he be targeting Augheimer?" Felix added, "That's right. Augheimer isn't a dragon clan cultivator. Why would Dalton be after him?" Hearing this, Edmund was momentarily stunned before shaking his head and replying, "I don't know the specific details. However, I believe Dalton must have his reasons for doing this. Wilbur, you should think carefully about your relationship with Augheimer. Does Dalton know about it?" "Last time, when Dalton and Dino came, he was convinced that you, Wilbur, were a dragon clan cultivator. If he knows about your connection to Augheimer, he might use Augheimer as bait to lure you into a trap." "What!" Wilbur suddenly realized the gravity of the situation and said nervously, "Indeed, the last time Augheimer was kidnapped, Felix and I went to rescue him, but on the way back, we were ambushed by the Dragon Slayer Organization. This Dalton m
"Lord Edmund!" Wilbur felt touched to hear the words, but Edmund's gaze was icy when he turned away. After all, Edmund would just have to send out an order if he wanted to sort this out. Augheimer had drawn Dalton's attention, but the past few days showed that the Dragon Slayer Organization did respect Edmund quite a bit. Thus, Edmund was certain that they would not do anything to him directly. This meant that Edmund could actually save Augheimer. However, Edmund attained the City Lord position through his own power. He was certain that nothing big would happen in the next three months, and that would make his promise to Wilbur the most important thing. Dividing and conquering Buck Town? Edmund found the whole thing funnier the more he thought about it. What would he be, if he really let Wilbur run half of Buck Town? Would the cultivators of Buck Town even respect him anymore after that? Besides, Edmund's powers would be recovered in three months. He would be sure to send a
Wilbur said, "What do you think we should do, then?" Felix whispered into Wilbur's ear, who nodded. "Right. We'll go with that, then." Following that, the two men returned to the Chris family grounds together. Just as they had entered, a servant came running towards them in a panic. "You're finally back, Lord Horne! Lord Conrad came over this morning, he's been waiting in the main hall since then." "Conrad?" Wilbur and Felix exchanged glances. Neither of them knew why Conrad was here all of a sudden, and Felix said, "Have him wait a little longer. We'll be with him in just a second." "Yes, Lord Horne." The servant hurried off to deliver the message, and Wilbur and Felix quickly entered the study. Felix took out a pen and paper, writing down a letter. The two men then called for a servant, handing the letter to him. Felix reminded, "Remember that Divan has to receive this personally." "Yes, my Lord." The servant left with the letter, and the two men finally made their
