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
It was just the second attack, yet Blake had managed to injure Caleb so severely.Caleb clutched his left rib and bent over. It wasn't an act, because Blake knew how much force he had used in that move. He had broken at least two ribs with that punch.Ordinary people couldn't endure the pain of broken bones, especially if the ribs had been broken with blunt force. It would be extremely painful.Blake smiled slightly and asked, "You think you can injure Mr. Parham and get away with it? Hmph!"With a wide grin, he cracked his knuckles loudly. As Caleb watched Blake slowly walk over to him, he begged for mercy, his face twisted in pain. "Don't kill me! I didn't do it on purpose! Please spare me!"Caleb backed away as he spoke, but Blake was unmoved. His mission was to kill Caleb.As Blake moved closer, Caleb couldn't back away any further. When he was backed into a corner, Caleb's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Blake, walking toward him with deliberate steps.Everyone was
Caleb and Reuben were delighted at what Belinda had said. However, Saul shot them meaningful looks. Did they really think the Warrior League was easy to deal with, even without Sebastian?The Warrior League was filled with experts. If the two of them fought against them rashly, they would be sure to die."Wait!" Saul stepped forward to block Gary and the others."What now?" Belinda asked coldly."There are so many of you. If all of you fight against them while saying that it's a one-on-one battle, no one could withstand that! We need to set a limit, at least," Saul said seriously."We'll only fight three battles," Belinda said calmly.That meant that the Warrior League would only send three people, while Caleb and Reuben couldn't have anyone helping them.In other words, it was three against two. Still, they had to accept those conditions. It was the best they would get.Otherwise, Belinda only had to give the command and it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle, it would be a bloo
"Forget it. Since you didn't die, we won't pursue the matter further with you. We've already enjoyed that young woman anyway, so we won't punish you for your crime," Reuben said, grinning scornfully.They could tell that Belinda and the others had turned up in such a large group to get revenge on them.However, they had special identities. Would Belinda be bold enough to offend two hugely influential forces in Yvanton for the sake of an old man?Was the Warrior League really powerful enough to offend Yvanton? Besides, the Juwanian bishop in Yvanton was also renowned in the martial arts community."If the two of them have done anything disrespectful to the Warrior League, I apologize on their behalf. Yvanton is willing to compensate you for what happened today. You can name your price," Saul said seriously.Even he believed that Belinda and the others wouldn't dare push for revenge now. After all, who would dare to kill Jorvahn's grandson?Belinda scoffed. "So what if he's the Juw
Saul turned as pale as a sheet after hearing what Sebastian had said. He stared blankly at him for a long time before asking Belinda, "Madam Dragon, is this your intention as well?"Belinda nodded calmly and said, "Do you want one to die or everyone to die? You can decide."Saul took several deep breaths, but he didn't dare to answer her. It wouldn't be hard for the Warrior League to wipe all of them out. After all, they were in Dramon, and they were on the Warrior League's territory. Who would dare to oppose them?"Hurry! Tell Abraham and the others to get out here. If they're not here within five minutes, they'll be ordered to kill themselves!" Saul said to one of the Yvantonian men."No," Blake interjected coldly. "You no longer have five minutes. You have two minutes left!" He raised his right arm at the black-clad men around him. There was a clatter as the Warrior League members pulled out their weapons. In the glow of the moonlight, countless gleaming knives and swords sh
According to the Steinberg Martial Arts Court's arrangements, Warriors from various countries had been assigned to different areas. Yvanton had been placed in a villa in the mountains in the western suburbs. There were around 300 guest rooms there. Before the Warriors of Yvanton and the reporters had moved in, it had been emptied completely.The Yvantonian Warriors had lit campfires in the yard and were singing and dancing. Suddenly, a line of SUVs stopped at the entrance, and countless black-clad men surrounded the entire villa at once. Blake walked into the yard, looking murderous. He clasped his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Everyone, gather in the yard within five minutes. Those who are late or absent will be killed!""Killed!" Over 200 of the Warrior League martial arts experts yelled simultaneously. They were all at the third level of the Celestial realm.The Yvantonian Warriors and reporters in the yard all gave Blake looks of surprise."Hey, who are you? Why
Although Belinda had clashed with the Warrior League elders in the past, they had all watched her grow up and supported her in becoming the leader of the Warrior League.Belinda had been filled with grief and fury at the sight of a severely injured Edward, and she had suffered great torment. She felt as if a member of her family had been attacked and injured badly.Now, watching him regain consciousness, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes despite herself."Oh…" Edward murmured weakly before turning to look at Sebastian, who stood beside him. "Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I owe you my life." He coughed a few more times, but there was no longer any blood."You can all help Mr. Parham sit up. He still has some clotted blood in his system. Moving around will help him dislodge the blood, and it'll speed up his recovery," Sebastian said to the crowd. Elara and Blake hastily helped Edward up from the stretcher. The moment his feet touched the floor, he began coug
Sebastian was being so sincere to the members of the Warrior League. Even though their hearts had always been as hard as stone, they couldn't help but feel moved."Gentlemen, we got to know each other because of the conflict between us," Sebastian said with a smile. "I came here in a rush, but I've had some free time recently and I've prepared some energy replenishing pills. Send someone over tomorrow morning to get them from me."The Warrior League elders' eyes welled with gratitude. Anyone would want a friend like Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, if you need anything from us in the future, we will accept it. We'd go through hell and high water without complaint!""Yes, without complaint!" The moment the elders finished speaking, the rest of the Warrior League apprentices echoed their agreement in unison. "Mr. Ballard, you're the first person in a century to win the approval of all the Warrior League members!" Belinda said admiringly.The more she looked at Sebastian, the more she li
"Madam Dragon, don't worry. I'll do my best to save him," Sebastian assured her. He tossed the nine golden needles out casually. They seemed to have a soul of their own as they pricked over a dozen main acupuncture points on Edward's body.Finally, they sank into several main acupuncture points. The ends of the nine golden needles were quivering incessantly, emitting a faint buzzing sound.Maxwell couldn't help but gasp. He blurted, "The Nine Revival Needles!"It was a legendary, almost divine acupuncture technique. It was said that the famous healer Handock had built his reputation using this method.The first person who had used it was the miracle doctor Benzo, who had lived in the early Quorn era. However, the acupuncture technique had become lost after Ambroise. That was why no miracle doctors had emerged in Dramon ever since."Shut up!" Belinda snapped coldly.Maxwell immediately fell silent and stared unblinkingly at the nine golden needles on Edward's body.He was als
"We don't need to disturb them while they're resting. Let's go," Sebastian said, beckoning to Blake and Elara.Soon, they arrived at Ventus Estate. Bertie, Drake, Terry, and Gary were all crowded around a stretcher, wiping away their tears. Lying motionless on it was Edward.They had been friends for years. How could they just watch him die?"Everyone, move aside! Mr. Ballard is here!" Blake announced as he walked inside.The Warrior League members crowded around the door hastily moved aside, clearing a path for Sebastian and the others to walk through.Belinda was sitting in the main seat, looking as white as a sheet. Sebastian could sense her rage."Madam Dragon," he greeted, inclining his head slightly.Belinda turned to look at him and forced a smile. "Mr. Ballard, I'm sorry to trouble you yet again."He smiled slightly and replied, "As you've said, I'm a friend of the Warrior League."He walked over to Edward and bent down to examine him. Edward's eyes were tightly shut
