It was early the next morning when Alice finally woke up.

Though she had drunk a lot of red wine the night before, her heart was throbbing instead of her head.

Shaking it off, she took in a deep breath as she attempted to sit up. Before she could do so, however, she immediately sensed that something was wrong. Pulling her blanket to the side, she instantly shouted, startled by what she was seeing!

“Hillary! Hillary!”

“What’s wrong, Alice…?” replied Hillary rather groggily, awoken by Alice’s shouting.

“I was wearing my other set of clothes when we were drinking last night, right? Look! Why am I in my pajamas now? Were you the one who slipped them on me?” asked Alice.

“…No, I don’t think so… I was out cold after drinking so much last night… Are you still half-awake…? Who else could’ve slipped you into your pajam- …Hold on, if someone else really did help you change, then they’d have to remove all your previous clothes first, right?” said Hillary, now starting to feel nervous

    Naturally, Noah never had the audacity or courage to ask the Fendersons about things regarding his son’s marriage. After all, the Fendersons were still the Schuyler’s main affiliate family. However, since such a massive event was taking place today, Noah took the initiative to finally ask about it, just to see how the old master would reply. In response, Bryson frowned. With a wry smile on his face, he then said, “Are you proposing a marriage between Jasmine and Yael?” “Well, I’m afraid that it all boils down to what Jasmine has to say about the matter. After all, marriage is the personal affair of young people! You should allow the younger generation to deal with this matter on their own!” Hearing this made Noah slightly upset, as he knew that his proposal had just been indirectly denied. After all, Bryson’s granddaughter clearly didn’t have any interest in Yael at all. “As parents, we’re naturally our children’s matchmakers. Lord Fenderson, I truly believe that as long as y

    “While Daryl hasn’t shown up for quite a while, that doesn’t mean that the marriage contract ceases to be valid. In fact, even though Dylan had been extremely hostile toward the Fendersons, he hasn’t sent anyone over to formally end the contract. As long as the marriage contract isn’t called off, then it’s rules still apply till the day the Crawford family chooses to acknowledge it!” explained Bryson before looking at Noah. “Do you understand what I mean now, Noah?” “…To think that the Crawfords and the Fendersons had such a history… However, since both families are still disputing against each other, then the marriage contract should, by right, be automatically called off, should it not, Lord Fenderson?” replied Noah rather reluctantly. “While it’s true that both Dylan and Daryl had a huge conflict back then, I don’t think his son would actually have the courage or audacity to privately amend or go against the rules set by his father!” “…Very well, Lord Fenderson. I’ll just pr

    In the blink of an eye, many people had already gathered at the event. The two Fenderson brothers were in charge of greeting and entertaining the guests outside. “You’re here early, Mr. Schuyler!” said most of the guests who immediately went over to greet Noah as soon as they saw him. It was evident that to the guests, the two Fenderson brothers were nothing compared to Noah. Seeing that, the second son of the Fenderson family could only wave his hand in indignation. It was at that moment when someone suddenly yelled, “The Long family from Yanken has sent a white jade statue here!” “…Huh? The Longs from Yanken?” Everyone was astonished to hear that. Why would the Long family come all the way here just to attend such an event? While the two families had been on good terms, with the Longs even helping the Fenderson family before, both families hadn’t interacted much with each other for quite a long time. The Fenderson’s old master himself had mostly only invited direct me

    Gerald was now frustrated beyond words. The initial plan to make use of the Fenderson birthday banquet to rescue Queta was now at stake. To think that he would meet both Alice and Xavia back to back! There were simply too many unexpected issues popping up at the same time. If either of the girls recognized him, then the situation would definitely take a turn for the worst. What more, Gerald had just broken a wine glass and many people were already looking in his direction! D*mn it all! Gerald was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and began picking the broken glass shards off the ground. “…Eh?” While Gerald managed to quickly clean up the mess and make his hasty escape, he seemed to have also attracted another girl’s attention. The girl in question was standing right next to Jasmine. It was Mindy! ‘…Why did that young man look so similar to Gerald? This doesn’t make any sense at all! Why would that silly boy even be here at the Fenderson birthday banquet?’

    Seeing how well-dressed Mindy was, the celebrity instantly knew that she was a member of the Fenderson family. Thus, instead of continuing to act presumptuously, she smiled brightly before saying, “Beautiful young lady, please don’t get me wrong, but this young man here is just a handyman who does odd jobs for us!” “A handyman? Are you even that worthy? What exactly is going on here, Gerald?” asked Mindy in a puzzled tone. She knew for a fact that he was a dignified, rich heir so why would he even need to serve and do odd jobs for these minor celebrities? “I’ll… Explain everything to you in the future! For now, I really need to use the bathroom so I’ll be taking my leave first!” Gerald could feel like his head was going to explode! If he kept dallying here then Xara’s plan was definitely going to fail because of him! “Stop right there!” shouted both Mindy and the celebrity in unison. Mindy could tell that Gerald was hiding something from her and she wasn’t the kind of per

    Gerald himself was wondering the same thing. It looked as though some sort of conflict was going on. Everything seemed to be going fine before this. How did things end up this way? As Gerald stared at the scene in bewilderment, he could see a middle-aged woman kneeling within the crowd. The members of the families affiliated with the Fendersons seemed to be filled with rage and even Lord Fenderson himself had an ugly expression on his face. “It’s her! It’s that sinner’s maid from back then! Hurry up and tell us where Xara is now! If you speak the truth, we’ll consider sparing you!” “Remember! The Crawfords and the Fendersons only got into a huge fight back then because of her! We, the affiliated families, were the ones who had suffered the most losses because of that battle! How pitiful my son was for having to grow up in such turmoil because of her! Lord Fenderson, if you’re hiding Xara anywhere, we demand that you hand her over to us!” “That’s right! Hand her over so that y

    It was obvious that Xara clearly had more power compared to Jasmine’s father back then. Even if Xara’s assets were to be equally distributed among the affiliated families now, it wouldn’t be as simple as the families being able to gain equal footing with the Fendersons anymore. This was probably what Noah and Yael had intended for to happen this entire time. “You can all continue to dream on…” replied Jasmine angrily. “Step aside for the moment, Jasmine. You don’t need to get involved in this!” said Bryson, a gloomy expression on his face. Not daring to go against her grandfather’s words, she immediately stood aside. Bryson then personally began negotiating with Noah. While this was happening, Mindy suddenly began shouting, “Jasmine! Over here!” Frowning, Jasmine then walked over to Mindy before realizing who else was with her. To her surprise, Gerald was present! “Why are you here?” “Let’s not bother about him for the moment. More importantly, what on earth is goin

    Upon hearing Noah’s command, a few men stepped forward, dragging a girl along. Her head was lowered and her mouth was shut tight. However, her appearance alone was enough to shock everyone present. “She… She looks exactly like her!” “That’s right! I almost thought that she was a much younger version of Xara!” “We’ve all been deceived! Lord Fenderson must have already known about Xara’s whereabouts a long time ago! Yet he left all us affiliated families in the dark on purpose!” While the audience began discussing aloud, Queta herself bore an extremely ugly expression on her face. After all, she had been physically hurt and her body was currently feeling very weak. “It… It really is my aunt’s daughter! So it turns out that grandpa’s already found aunt’s daughter!” said Jasmine. “Queta!” shouted Bryson, a stern expression on his face. He had initially arranged for someone to secretly send Queta away that morning. Little did he know that there would be a snitch working for

    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!
