“Oh, no! The aura is getting stronger!”Gerald was alarmed.“Quick, Mr. Lee, get your men out of here. Get out now! The masculine aura in your bodies is the target of the grudgeful ghosts!”Immediately, Gerald shouted at Harold.“Retreat!”Harold shouted right away without a second thought.Hearing this, all the inspectors retreated from the hall with Harold and stood by the roadside immediately.Once outside, Harold and his men saw the black fog rush into the hall of the Hoklux Gang from the sky.Seeing this, everyone at the scene was terrified. They thought that it was very frightening as they had never seen such a thing happening before.At that moment, only Gerald and Rey were left inside the hall.Gerald glanced at Rey, who was behind him.“What are you doing here?! Get out now!”Gerald shouted.“Brother Gerald, I want to stay to help you!”Rey replied.“What can you help me with?! You haven’t learned anything yet. I can handle this alone! Get out quickly before it’
“Rey, be careful!”Gerald shouted at Rey to alert him.When Rey heard Gerald’s warning, he immediately opened his eyes.The next moment, Rey’s waist was already tied by the red ribbon.Swish!Rey was dragged forward.Seeing this, Gerald reacted quickly and cut the red ribbon with his sword.Snap!Fortunately, Gerald was fast enough. He cut the red ribbon and saved Rey.“Soul Chain!”After saving Rey, Gerald threw his Soul Chain toward the ghost.The Soul Chain flew toward the female ghost. However, the female ghost was not an easy target. She waved her red ribbon to block the Soul Chain.Not giving her any chance, Gerald leaped forward and rushed toward the female ghost.Gerald’s speed was so fast that the female ghost didn’t have any time to react.Then, Gerald stabbed the female ghost with his Astrabyss Sword.“Exterminate!”Gerald shouted angrily in a deep voice.With that, the Astrabyss Sword emitted a dark blue flame and engulfed the female ghost.Then, using t
“Of course. Take care, Mr. Crawford!”Harold said goodbye to Gerald respectfully.After that, Gerald and Rey left the Hoklux Gang by car.“Brother Gerald, it looks like the truth about this matter will not be discovered!”In the car, Rey spoke, feeling very lucky.“Hehe, I didn’t expect that there would be a grudgeful ghost in the hall. So, I just blamed everything on it. Anyway, those two deserved to die.”Gerald said with a faint smile.In truth, even without the grudgeful ghost, nobody would have found out that it was Gerald who had killed Roger and the scarred man.It was just a coincidence, so Gerald simply put all the blame on this grudgeful ghost.“Rey, next time when I tell you to leave, don’t hesitate. Fortunately, the grudgeful ghost this time was not particularly strong. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to save you!”Gerald reminded Rey.“Okay, I understand, Brother Gerald.”Rey nodded obediently.What happened today was too frightening for him especially wh
“Right. Then, I shall go and find Yann now. Call me if there’s anything!”Gerald reminded Juno once more and left the office.After he had left the office, he drove to Yann’s place.On the way, he didn’t forget to call Yann.The call was answered in a short time.“Hello, Yann. Why are you looking for me?”Gerald asked Yann, who was on the other end of the phone curiously.“Gerald, I’ve got a good thing for you!”Yann said to Gerald excitedly.“Good thing? What good thing?”Gerald was still doubtful.“Ha! Ha! Ha! I’ll tell you later!”Yann kept Gerald in suspense.Hearing this, Gerald couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This lad was acting mysteriously again.Regardless, Gerald didn't say anything as he knew what kind of a person Yann was.“Alright. Are you at home now? I’m on the way there. I’ll get there in about ten minutes!”Gerald asked Yann in advance and told him that he was heading there.“So soon? Yes, I’m at home.”Yann was surprised, but he replied immediately.
When Gerald heard him, he doubted for a while, thinking what good place it was that Yann was referring to.“Where is it?” Gerald asked immediately.“Hehe. Gerald, have you heard of Mount Dakriont?”Yann tried to keep Gerald in suspense and asked him playfully.Gerald hesitated for a while and nodded.“I know. Isn’t it a tourist attraction? Why are you asking me that?”Gerald looked at Yann in suspicion as he responded. He didn’t understand why Yann would be interested in a tourist attraction.“Well, there is something you don’t know, Gerald. Although that place is a tourist attraction, there is actually a deep cave hidden in the mountain, and there are lots of treasures inside the cave.”Yann told Gerald with a very excited expression on his face.“Really? But, Yann, from whom did you hear about this?”Gerald was a bit surprised, so he quickly asked Yann.For Yann to know about such a secret, there had to be someone telling him that. And there had to be a plot behind this.
Yan walked over to Gerald and tried to persuade him once more.Gerald glanced at Yann and looked at Tye Lamano.“Mr. Lamano, how did you know about the hidden cave in Mount Dakriont? And how did you come to know that there are treasures inside?” asked Gerald.“About this, I cannot answer you. I can simply tell you that everything I know appeared on the map that my ancestors passed down. I only need you two to make a trip to the mountain for me. I know Mr. Crawford is very capable of psychic things and exploration. That’s why I asked Mr. Williams to look for you. I hope you can help us!”Tye Lamano said in a serious tone.Of course Gerald knew what Tye Lamano was thinking in his mind. He wanted the treasures.“Mr. Crawford, I know you are looking for something, and according to the records from my ancestors, the item you are looking for is most probably in Mount Dakriont. I hope you can think about it!”Seeing Gerald show no response, Tye Lamano suggested once more.Gerald was s
Yann felt glad that Gerald didn’t blame him much. He had been shocked just now, thinking that Gerald would be very angry with him.“Alright, I will head home first. You keep in touch with Tye Lamano. Inform me of the time of departure in advance. I will go back and get ready for it!”After that, Gerald reminded Yann.“Okay, sure, Gerald.”Yann nodded and responded obediently.Having said that, Gerald left the house and returned to his office.Soon, he was back in his office.When he walked inside, Rey and Yrsa were studying at the table, and Juno was playing with her phone beside them.“How is it? How is your progress?”Gerald asked them as he walked in.“Brother Gerald, you’re back!”When Rey saw Gerald, he stood up and smiled at him.“Brother Gerald, Miss Zorn taught us some basic knowledge about the spiritual world. I learned everything about the spiritual world, souls, and ghosts.”Rey reported his progress to Gerald immediately.After Gerald heard that, he nodded in
“Negative, you just stay here this time. I’ll be heading there with Yann!” replied Gerald as he looked at the trio. “But… Mr. Crawford-” “Look, I know you want to come with me to see and learn more of the world, Rey, but not this time. After all, none of us know what dangers await us at Mount Dakriont. There are simply too many risks involved! With that in mind, please just stay here and train with Miss Zorn for the moment!” replied Gerald before Rey could even finish his sentence. In the end, Rey was still an ordinary person, which meant that his capabilities were vastly different compared to Gerald’s. With that in mind, Gerald had only said all that earlier since he truly was worried for Rey’s sake. Besides, staying here to train with Juno would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Rey. By taking the time to properly train and learn about being a cultivator, Rey would definitely be able to solve problems together with Gerald—instead of simply being a sidekick—in the future. Re
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. Ho
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! Speaking of which, if you’re already thinking about killing me t
