Chapter 1782

Author: Two Ears is Bodhi
“Eh, it’s already so late! I’m sure the person you are waiting for will not come. Come, let’s go to my place and rest!”

The old man sighed and proposed to the three.

When Old Flint heard him, he turned around immediately and looked at Gerald, seeking his opinion.

Gerald saw his reaction and nodded subtly.

Since they had no other choice, for now, they could only rest at the old man’s place.

Besides, the sky was already very dark, and it was not safe. Who knew what would be lingering outside?

After the conversation, Gerald and the others followed the old man and left the wooden cottage.

The old man brought Gerald and the others to his house. Although it was not very old, it looked like it should have been rebuilt before.

“Old man, are you the only one left in the village?”

Once they were in the old man’s house, Old Flint asked curiously.

“Hehe!” The old man chuckled.

“Yes. The others have moved into the cities already. I’m the only one left here!”

After he chuckled, he answer

    The three quickly looked outside only to see that the old man had left the house alone, carrying a basket with him as he headed toward Yamilet Faes’ wooden cottage.Seeing this, the three exchanged glances.They found it rather strange that the old man would want to go out in the middle of the night carrying a basket. There had to be some secret unknown to people hidden behind it.Soon after, Gerald and the two got out of the house and followed the old man quietly.They followed the old man all the way to the wooden cottage. Then, they saw him take out a key from his pocket to unlock the door.Once the door was unlocked, the old man surveyed his surroundings carefully. After making sure that no one was around, only then did he push the door open and walk in with reassurance.Gerald and the two others also walked to the wooden cottage immediately and stood in front of it.“Gerald, it looks like the old man must be hiding something from us. He actually has the key to this house!”

    At the same time, the black miasma of Ember Lord wrapped around the old man.Soon after, the black miasma absorbed the soul and energy of the old man, directly turning the old man into a dry corpse.This surprised Ember Lord very much. He didn’t expect this would be the outcome. Moreover, he never expected that the old man would actually block the attack from Gerald for him.“Ember Lord, you’ve killed another innocent person again!”Gerald shouted at Ember Lord angrily.Having said that, Gerald decided to use his forbidden technique to completely destroy Ember Lord.At this moment, Ember Lord had totally lost consciousness. He stood there motionlessly, almost as if he had lost his soul.“Thousand Sect Destruction Technique!”Gerald shouted and threw the Astrabyss Sword in his hand directly at Ember Lord.When the sword pierced into Ember Lord’s body, it immediately emitted a bright light and engulfed Ember Lord completely.“Argh!”Ember Lord shrieked.The next second, Ember

    The next morning, as Gerald and Rey were still sleeping, the doorbell woke them up.Rey walked out of the room to the door half asleep and opened it.Once the door was opened, he saw a few men in uniforms standing outside. At the sight of the logo on their uniforms, he knew that they were from the Grand Council.“Excuse me, are Mr. Gerald Crawford and Mr. Rey Leighton here?”One of the inspectors entered the house and asked.Rey nodded and replied, “I’m Rey. What is it?”“Take him away!”Once he heard Rey’s words, the inspector ordered his men, and immediately, two inspectors came forward and grabbed Rey’s arms, dragging him outside.“Hey, what are you doing?!”Rey shouted immediately.The commotion woke Gerald, Juno, and Nori up.They got out of their rooms quickly.“Who are you?”When Gerald came out, he looked at the people from the Grand Council in surprise and asked.“You must be Mr. Gerald Crawford. We suspect that you are related to the death of Chief Lake, who is

    They had indeed watched the CCTV footage.When the accident happened, there was no one and no other car around. Moreover, Old Flint was the only one in his car.So, that meant that the situation when Old Flint had met with the accident was utterly bizarre.In the footage, Old Flint’s car had simply skidded and rolled out of control on its own all of a sudden.Gerald and Rey were only released in the afternoon.They took a cab back to the office once they had left the Grand Council.On the way back, Rey looked at Gerald with a very puzzled look and asked, “Gerald, what do you think of Old Flint’s death? How did he die?”Gerald’s face was very grave. He was not sure about it either. However, he was sure that the incident was certainly not that simple.“Does this mean Ember Lord is not dead yet?”The next second, a bold idea came across Rey’s mind.Gerald felt that the possibility of this speculation was very tiny. After all, Ember Lord had died before his eyes. How could he sti

    The parcel was a small square box.Gerald shook the box gently, but there wasn’t any sound coming from the box.“Let’s see who sent it to you!”Juno, who was sitting at the side, reminded Gerald.Gerald quickly checked the information on the sender. Apart from his name and address, there was no information about the sender.Gerald and the others were baffled by what they were seeing. Who could have sent Gerald the parcel? What exactly was in the parcel?Gerald was not in a rush to open the parcel. He felt that there was a problem with it. Maybe, it was a scheme.“Back off, you guys!”Gerald told his friends.Upon hearing Gerald’s words, Rey and the girls stood up immediately and moved backward.Gerald picked up a small knife and slashed the box open with extreme precision.Once the box had been slashed, the lid popped open.Gerald looked at the box carefully. After making sure it was safe, only then was he relieved, and he signaled his friends to come forward.The three wa

    Gerald looked at the delivery boy and asked Rey.“Yes, that’s right, Gerald. It was him who sent the parcel.”Rey nodded firmly and said.“What’s wrong? Is there any problem, misters?”The delivery boy standing in front of them asked in puzzlement, not knowing what was happening.“Let me ask you. This parcel was delivered by you just now. Where did you get it from?”Gerald stared at the delivery boy and questioned him.The delivery boy took the box from Gerald and took a look.“That’s right. It was me who delivered the parcel. I also wondered why there was only the receiver’s name and address on the parcel, and the packaging was different. I asked about it for almost a day, but no one bothered to answer me, so I could only deliver it according to the address!”The delivery boy admitted that he was the one who had delivered the parcel, but he himself did not know who the sender was.Upon hearing this, Gerald and Rey exchanged glances.The investigation came to halt once more.

    “Gerald, who was it?” Rey looked at Gerald and asked.“I don’t know. It was a man. He was the one who sent the letter, and he told me that he wants to play a game with me. He’s nuts!” Gerald said helplessly.What time was it already that he still wanted to play a game with him?! Gerald didn’t want to bother so much about this.It had indeed made them a little anxious to the point that they had thought it was Ember Lord and he had not died.As for the identity of this man, Gerald was uninterested to know about it.After hearing what Gerald had said, the three did not ask any more questions. They felt that it might just be a prank.However, everything was not as simple as Gerald had thought.That day, Gerald brought Rey out to buy some groceries.They had not been able to rest properly for a long time. So, they decided to buy some good food and cook a hearty meal together.Gerald and Rey went to the supermarket. When they came out, both of them were carrying two big bags in thei

    Gerald cursed at the man angrily.“Hehe, chill, Mr. Crawford. I was just joking with you. After all, it was you who did not want to play the game with me.”The man laughed and replied in an eerie voice.It was just a joke?!It had been a big explosion, but this man had actually said that it was just a small joke. It was really driving Gerald crazy.“What exactly do you want to play?”Gerald calmed himself down and questioned the man over the phone.“Hehe! Mr. Crawford, I know your ability, and I’m very impressed with your power. So, you are the only one who can play the game with me. Do you still remember the purple letter? There’s a pattern of the Star of David on the paper. The pattern represents each different area, and a different thing will happen in each of the areas. It may be a person or a thing, and everything depends on you to discover it yourself. Right, since it’s a game, there must be a win and a loss. If you win, I will give you the address to save a person so that

    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!
