Noticing that Sebastian was looking at him, Lorcan immediately turned to look at the two bodyguards behind him."Mr. Ballard, after Mr. Croydon was taken ill, we did hire some geomancers. However, they were all relatively well known within Sartvale. We couldn't possibly have hired someone like Bartholomew, who's well known in the whole of Dramon for being an expert in geomancy." "He really did come uninvited." Sebastian scoffed. It was clear that something was fishy about Bartholomew. However, his status and influence couldn't compare with Lorcan at all. Even if he had managed to kill Lorcan, how would it benefit him?In other words, Bartholomew was being used as someone else's tool. The real mastermind hadn't appeared yet."Mr. Ballard, Bartholomew may just be a charlatan, but he has many connections. If he wanted to hurt Lorcan, I'm afraid that…" Norman was hinting that he wanted Sebastian to give Lorcan a Life Protection charm. A life protection charm probably wouldn't be
When Belinda, Bertie, and Drake heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the Wraith Market to look for premium medicinal herbs, they all looked delighted. Bertie and Drake both assumed that Sebastian wanted to go to the Wraith Market because he needed ingredients to refine energy replenishing pills. Therefore, before Belinda could say anything, both Bertie and Drake volunteered themselves. "Madam Dragon, we are willing to take Mr. Ballard on a visit to the Wraith Market." Belinda smiled slightly and nodded. She had been intending to let them bring Sebastian there anyway. After all, they were both suitable candidates in terms of their experience and status in the Warrior League. Belinda turned and asked Sebastian, "What do you think, Mr. Ballard?"Sebastian had no objection. If he had two elders from the Warrior League accompanying him, things would go much more smoothly. The three of them discussed it briefly and set out that very night. They would travel overnight to Caelum, wh
Sebastian looked around as he walked along. Before long, he had entered the central area. There were many more varieties of medicinal herbs here, and they were all more aged. However, there were many people who were overselling their goods, like the stalk of Elysses herb that Sebastian picked up. It was very hard to distinguish between an Elysses herb that was ten years old and those that were 100 years old. Even experienced experts could make mistakes.Therefore, getting authentic, rare medicinal herbs there was also a challenge to the ability of discernment of the buyer. After all, there were also rules in the Wraith Market. If someone bought an inferior item due to their own lack of discernment, they would just have to admit to their bad luck. There was no one for them to complain to. Luckily, there were detailed records of more than ten thousand amazing medicines in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals, and Sebastian had memorized them all. He walked along the street for a
Just as Sebastian turned to look behind him, a large hand grabbed his wrist. A cold voice said, "I'll pay one million!" Sebastian shook his wrist lightly and knocked the hand off him. He put the medicinal cauldron into his pouch. Then he looked at the young men who were standing around him. The person who had grabbed his wrist was Avery. Two burly, middle-aged men were standing behind him. Sebastian could tell from the men's energy that they were both Supreme Grandmaster experts. If it weren't for the two people behind him, Avery would never have dared to try and cause trouble with Sebastian."So it's you!" Sebastian looked impassively at Avery. Avery scoffed and gritted his teeth as he said, "What a small world. I didn't expect you to remember me!" Back in Draepolis, Avery had been planning to cure the young Ytalian prince and make a name for himself in Dramon's medicine industry. However, Sebastian had stolen his thunder. He and Nexon, the elder of the Healer Sect, had b
Sebastian ignored Avery. He glanced at the medicinal herbs on the ground and turned to leave. "Hold it!" At that moment, one of the burly men behind Avery reached out to block Sebastian's path. "Young man, hand over the thing you stuffed in your pocket just now." Sebastian eyed the man coldly and sneered, "I've left you the medicinal herbs already. I advise you not to make trouble."The burly man looked Sebastian up and down and snorted, "Young man, which sect are you from? Stealing something while everyone looks on is not a good habit."The burly man hadn't attacked Sebastian directly because he was afraid of the kind of allies Sebastian might have. Before he ascertained Sebastian's background, he wouldn't cause trouble openly on the Warrior League's territory. Sebastian didn't want to explain things to him. He just said coldly, "Move aside!"Seeing that Sebastian wasn't taking the bait, the burly man turned to look at Avery, who nodded and gave the other burly man a pointed look.
"Stop!" Just as a fight was about to break out between them, a cold voice came from behind the crowd.At the sound of the voice, the crowd parted. A tall, handsome youth dressed in white walked proudly out from among them. As the white-clad youth walked out slowly, Sebastian immediately sensed a strong oppressive energy coming from him. It was the energy unique to that of an expert in the Celestial realm."Is that Cedric Watts?" Many of the mystic martial arts sect members recognized the youth in white at once. He was one of the most outstanding geniuses among the apprentices of the Healer Sect to have appeared in the last 100 years.Cedric wasn't just excellent in medicine, but he was also particularly skilled in martial arts. In approximately ten years, he had already broken through to the first level of the Celestial realm. Of course, the Celestial realm was like a beginner level to Sebastian. However, there were countless people among the mystic martial arts sects who rema
Cedric was still smiling confidently.Just as the energy from Sebastian's palms was about to completely envelope the force from Cedric's fists, a terrifying force seemed to explode forth like a bomb.The force of it was magnifying rapidly at a frenzied pace, and even Sebastian let out a noise of surprise.However, he only grunted slightly and curled his fingers in a claw-like gesture. An even more pure vital energy immediately burst forth from his fingertips.As the vital energy in Sebastian's body began to surround the force, the energy from Cedric's fists was soon suppressed.Sebastian made a slight tossing gesture and sent the force of it flying off into the air. There was a series of loud blasts as the force exploded in midair. Even the air above their heads vibrated slightly.The crowd, who had been waiting to see Sebastian be humiliated, were now staring at him in shock. Sebastian had dealt with Cedric's attack so effortlessly. Who was he?Avery had scrambled up from the
When Sebastian saw that Cedric was attacking with no regard for his own life, he merely snorted and flicked his palm once more. This time, the onlookers retreated more than a hundred steps away. They were terrified of getting caught up in it once more.However, many of the younger generation among the mystic martial arts sects were still staring fixedly at the two men who were locked in battle. After all, every move made by experts at Sebastian and Cedric's level was a great source of knowledge for all of them!Therefore, the younger Warriors were unwilling to miss the opportunity to learn, even if their lives were at risk.There was another series of blasts. In just a few short seconds, Sebastian and Cedric had already exchanged more than a hundred blows. There was an enormous explosion, and a wave of energy shot at Cedric and sent him stumbling backward more than ten steps away. "H-How could this be?" Cedric's expression changed sharply, and he stared at Sebastian in disbeli
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
The building where Whitney had been imprisoned was now as bright as day as the spotlights shone on it.Sebastian untied her calmly and helped her up to walk out. "Sebastian, forget about me. I'm only going to be a burden to you, and I'll only hurt you." Whitney was already very weak. Even walking seemed very difficult for her. There was no way that they would be able to escape the clutches of the people around them in her current condition. Sebastian sighed. "I see that you still don't trust me." Despite this, there was a gentle look in his eyes when he looked at her."Sebastian, I—" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian put a finger to her lips to shush her."Let's go out," he said in a tone that brooked no argument. Whitney was startled for a moment and was about to break free of Sebastian's support when a large, firm hand gripped her arm tightly. Sebastian walked out of the cramped meditation building with Whitney by his side, looking upright and noble next to her."I
"My lord, are you going to Draconem Cathedral?" Nina and the others hastily ran to catch up when they saw Sebastian walking quickly downstairs."My lord, if we rush there overnight to rescue Whitney, we might be walking into a trap. If so, the consequences will be dire." Lyanna tried to persuade him.It would be hard to win when there were so many people on the other side. Even if they were all at the fifth level of the Celestial realm, it didn't mean that the other side would not have any experts.Besides, the terrain around Draconem Cathedral was very complicated. How could they be sure that the enemy had not set a trap there?"We must rescue Whitney today," Sebastian said heavily."My lord, the area around Draconem Cathedral is very dangerous," Nina said. "If we fall into a trap set by Sword Towers, we won't be able to rescue Ms. Sutton. In fact, we'll be putting her in more danger.""I can't bother about all that. Even if I have to walk through a sea of fire, I must rescue Wh
