Chapter 1762

Author: Two Ears is Bodhi
“Hot d*mn! To think that there was another palace down here! In fact, this one looks much larger than the previous one!” exclaimed Ray.

“Please be careful, everyone! And don’t do anything stupid!” warned Gerald, hoping that everyone had learned their lesson about randomly touching things.

“Copy that! Still, what are those things, Mr. Crawford…? They look so luxurious!” asked Ray as he walked toward one of the platforms to get a closer look.

“Those are Treasure Glaze Platforms. They’re specially used to light up candlesticks used for sacrificial rituals. The fires in them can last forever!” explained Old Flint when he saw that Gerald was making no effort to reply.

Upon hearing that, Ray was rightfully shocked. To think that such magical items existed…

His awe was cut short, however, when everyone suddenly heard one of Lech’s men scream in agony!

By the time they turned to look at him, his entire body was already burning! With scorched skin and eerily hollowed-out eyes, it w

    “…Thank god you brought along this young woman, Gerald…! Otherwise, we would’ve all met our maker today…!” muttered the still fearful Lech, as he expressed his gratitude toward both Juno and Gerald. Had Juno not brought along that can of insecticide, they’d surely have died today… Following that, Gerald then broke the can open before rubbing some of the liquid inside on his clothes. “Rub some of it on your bodies! With any luck, it’ll continue warding off the spiders!” instructed Gerald. Hearing that, everyone then quickly began doing just that, making sure to rub as much of the insecticide as possible onto their clothes and shoes. Hopefully, this would keep the spiders away… Now that the crisis was over, Old Flint then said, “…I’m guessing the vampires raised those spiders. If my analysis is correct, any blood that the spiders suck can later be retrieved by the vampires for their own consumption…” “How abominable! To think that they would actually raise such horrible creat

    However, it wasn’t long after before Gerald and the others noticed a problem, that being the fact that the house’s large door was locked. Seeing that, Lech immediately ordered, “Men, unlock the door!” Hearing that, a specialist from Lech’s team quickly took a few tools out from his fanny pack and got to work… Not too long after, a clatter could be heard, signifying that the unlocking process was a success! With that, Lech then pushed the door open and everyone else made sure to follow behind him. Upon entering, however, they quickly realized that the insides were mostly barren aside from a large disc in the middle of the house that was surrounded by four pillars… “Now what could that be…” muttered the slightly curious Gerald. Hearing that, Old Flint then said, “…This should be where the vampires cultivate themselves. Looking at the disc, I’m guessing that only the leader of the vampires is allowed to sit there!” As Gerald nodded in understanding, Lech himself could be see

    Gerald made sure to repeat Old Flint’s message just to emphasize how dangerous it was to even touch the treasures in this place. While human greed was near endless, self-control was key in surviving, especially in their current situation… Regardless, after nearly half an hour of transferring all manner of treasures out of that room, Lech and his men had compiled enough riches to fill at least two large cars… Seeing how much treasure there was, it was no wonder why Lech and his men had been drawn to this place… Either way, once Lech got out of the secret room for the final time, he then walked toward Gerald before smiling as he said, “These are the treasures we got from that secret room, Gerald! Since both parties have contributed a lot to get this far, I’m willing to share some of our spoils with you!” Smiling subtly in return, Gerald then replied, “I appreciate the consideration, Mr. Zak, but we didn’t come here for the vampires’ treasures. With that in mind, you’re free to keep

    “So what you’re saying is that the spiders will only attack those who touch the treasures?” asked Gerald. Watching as Old Flint nodded, Gerald and his party were instantly shocked. To think that the spiders would actually select their prey… Meanwhile, Lech and his remaining team members were being swallowed alive by the gigantic spiders! It was truly a gruesome sight… Staring at Gerald—who was still standing by the door—the pitiful Lech who was getting devoured could only plead, “B-brother Crawford…! Please, save us…!” “H-Help! Please…!” screamed the other agonized members of Lech’s team as well. Even so, there was nothing that Gerald could do. All of them had taken the cursed treasures due to their immense greed. In other words, they had brought all this upon themselves. With that in mind, Gerald could only watch helplessly as they continued screaming and getting eaten… Lech himself was torn clean in half before being tossed right into the abyss… As for the rest of his t

    Soon after, Gerald and the others returned to the chamber once more… However, once inside, they were suddenly greeted by odd knocking sounds… Now feeling vigilant, Ray couldn’t help but look at Gerald as he asked, “…Do you hear that, brother Gerald?” Nodding, Gerald then replied, “I do.” With that, all five of them immediately began looking for the exact source of the sound… until eventually, Gerald realized that it was coming from the very center of the round platform in the chamber… “…The sound is coming from over there!” said Gerald as he pointed at the platform. Hearing that, everyone quickly gathered around the platform before pressing their ears onto it… True enough, now that their ears were directly on the platform, the constant knocking became even clearer! Upon closer inspection, the knocking sounded almost rhythmic as well. “…Do… you think someone could be trapped inside, Gerald…?” asked Ray. “…Judging from the rhythmic knocking, that may just be the case!” re

    Imprisoned at the bottom, appeared to be a strong, long-haired, ape-like creature… “…What’s down there, Brother Gerald?” asked Ray in a whispery voice. Looking at them, Gerald then quietly signaled for them to come over to have a look for themselves. Seeing that, the other members of Gerald’s party then crept over before peering down as well. Looking at Old Flint, Gerald then asked, “…Do you have any idea what that is, Old Flint…?” After seemingly thinking for a while, Old Flint then replied, “…If my eyes do not deceive me, that should be a black gibbon. I recall a tale about the vampires raising a black gibbon and using it to help them catch humans… Perhaps this is the one!” As Gerald’s eyes widened, Ray quickly said, “Then… this black gibbon must be a fierce beast! It’s best that we keep it locked under the platform!” True enough, such a vicious black gibbon couldn’t be allowed to run free. Otherwise, it would surely spell trouble! Unfortunately, Ray had said that a bit

    “Indeed. Countless people have attempted to locate the casket of the first vampire ancestor in order to obtain the vampiric pearl within it…” replied Old Flint with a nod. “The vampiric pearl? You came here looking for that, right?” asked Gerald. “It is. The vampiric pearl is a treasure of the vampires that’ll allow me to obtain a new body!” explained Old Flint. Upon hearing that, Gerald simply nodded. While the treasure certainly sounded intriguing, he wasn’t all that interested in it. After all, he had only come here to help Old Flint out. Regardless, after properly inspecting it, Gerald then said, “…Well, it seems safe enough. Let’s open the casket!” Hearing that, Old Flint then nodded, eager to finally be able to get his hands on the vampiric pearl. Seeing no objections from Old Flint, Gerald then turned to face Juno and Nori before saying, “You two, stay a distance from us! If anything goes wrong, run for it, understand?” Naturally, Juno and Nori obeyed. Quickly walk

    Naturally, Nori, Juno, and Ray agreed to that without a second thought. As they quickly gathered their things to prepare to leave, Ray couldn’t help but notice that Old Flint was still standing in the same corner, though he was now trembling for some reason… Finding it slightly odd, Ray then called out, “Old Flint, we’re about to leave now!” However, the second his sentence ended, Ray’s eyes widened when Old Flint turned back to glare at him, his eyes now fully crimson… Shivering in fear, Ray then yelled, “Um, G-Gerald? Something’s wrong with Old Flint…!” Hearing that, he turned to look at the old man and quickly found himself shocked to see Old Flint’s state as well. “…Old Flint…? What’s wrong?” asked Gerald in a serious tone, his eyebrows furrowed. Unfortunately for them, this wasn’t the Old Flint they used to know anymore. While his appearance remained the same, the red-eyed being before them was now nothing more than a blood-craving monster… “Gerald, look at his thr

    Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, “W-what power…!” As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Attack…!” And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire sky…! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Daryl’s devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! “No…!” howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate… yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up… Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever… “Darling, it’s your brother’s wedding day today… Shouldn’t we head over earlier? You’ve been dolling yourself up for ages!” “Fine, dad… Though, isn’t Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brother’s gone through so many hardsh

    ‘Daryl’s been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfather’s body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!’ ‘In order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lord’s efforts, they’ve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?’ explained Finnley. ‘…So that’s the truth… Then, how’s Mila?’ asked Gerald. ‘She’s fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!’ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear… Still, as it turned out, the Sun League weren’t villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the

    His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didn’t take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish power…! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sect’s master scoffed, “I know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit won’t save you this time!” Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, “…Who on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?” Laughing in response, the master then said, “Oh, you’ll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supreme…!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown even more.

    “…This formation. It feels… familiar,” muttered Sanchez. “Same thought here. I think it’s the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!” replied Gerald. “Ah, no wonder it felt so familiar… Though, wasn’t this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?” asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sect’s other mysterious and bizarre formations… Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future… Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, “I read about it somewhere.

    Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating… and it wasn’t long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches… In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, “…These…” Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, “…I take it that the herbalist they’re looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?” “…Well, it’s hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasn’t right… Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?” muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. “I really can’t say…! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!” replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. “…Is that the truth?” “I swear on my life!” exc

    “Flaxen, you bloody traitor…!” roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, “Who… Who the hell are you people…?!”“You don’t need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,” scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.“…Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think I’ll comply so easily?” growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand… and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor man’s arms!“If you want your other limbs intact, don’t make me repeat the question,” growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,

    From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zeman’s books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, “So, they want to ambush some herb lady… Is she the one we’re looking for?” Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, “I had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!” Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldn’t help but scoff,

    There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Daryl’s hideout… Hopefully the Yinblood pellet—that was now in his hands—would aid with that effort… As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearl’s instructions. After all, he’d only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Gerald’s cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared… Re

    Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldn’t help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that they’d never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, “You’re really something else, Gerald…! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the general’s tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!” “Oh, don’t you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, I’m sure you’ll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone!
