"Stop right there! Don't touch my sister, you shameless bastard!"Halfway through tying Lumi's dress, a roar could be heard from a near distance, followed by the appearance of several stunning figures.Their dresses whipped in the wind as they gripped their long swords, radiating a terrifying aura.It was Alora and the rest.F*ck!Seeing them made Darryl nothing but frustrated and helpless. He scrambled to stand, waving his hands and trying to explain. "Please don't be mistaken, ladies. I… I was just tying her dress up, and I did not mean anything else…"The words left his mouth as Darryl grew nervous.Crap.Alora and the rest just had to appear at a time like that. There was no explaining himself out of that situation.Just then, Alora and the rest had reached him.At the sight before them, everyone, including Alora and the other four sisters next to her, could hardly contain their shock and anger.All that could be seen was Lumi lying there with her eyes shut, completely u
At the thought, Darryl calmed down before exploring the area around him.Oh?Upon walking a few minutes, Darryl stopped. He could faintly hear a chaotic noise from a near distance. It was none other than the sect pupils from before."Let's hurry up.""We can't touch anything as we please without the Alliance Master's orders.""Be careful of any traps."Darryl frowned as he followed quietly.Quickly enough, they turned into a street. All that could be seen were many sect elites gathered, and their leader was the sect master of the True Flame Sect, Adam Bedford.Not far away from the crowd was a large building. It had three stories, radiating an aura of solemness as it was lit from the inside, quiet like the other buildings around here.The building was located in the center of the city.Darryl did not show himself. Instead, he hid in a corner.Darryl was a lot more at ease when they left. He had thought it through; he would not have to do much exploring but just follow those
Seeing Adam looking friendly, unlike the others who were aggressive, Lindsey calmed down and shook her head with determination."I… I will never tell you."Then, Lindsey took a look around and rebuked the crowd. "All of you barged into my house like pirates. All you bad guys, leave now, or else… or else I won't be courteous."Though Lindsey was still young and she was still a girl, she had a strong character, and she would not compromise on her principles.To her, though the underground city had never seen the light of day like an ancient underground tomb, it was built by her father, and so, it was home to her. Therefore, when trespassers barged into her home, she ought to chase them out.'Wow!'Immediately, everyone was shocked, and they were furious."Little girl, how dare you scold us?""You're still young, and you're pretty hot-tempered. How dare you call us pirates?""You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Tie her up and torture her. I don't believe a little
'Joses Hardin?'Hearing that, Adam froze, and deep down, he was shocked.'Isn't he the last Palace Master of the Heavenly Secret Palace?'As the Sect Master of the True Flame Sect, Adam was familiar with the community's anecdotes, especially about the Heavenly Secret Palace.A thousand years ago, the Heavenly Secret Palace was initially the top in the community. However, it suddenly vanished overnight, and no one knew what had happened. There were rumors that it was the Heavenly God Realm who sent a god to wipe out the Heavenly Secret Palace.At that time, Joses was the Palace Master of the Heavenly Secret Palace.As Adam recalled, he furrowed his brows, and countless questions arose in his mind.'That can't be it. Joses was the last Palace Master, and he had disappeared for almost a thousand years along with the Heavenly Secret Palace, yet this girl right here is only a teenager. How could she be Joses's daughter?'Was the Heavenly Secret Palace not completely wiped out? Did t
'Heh…'Seeing Lindsey's facial expression, Adam grinned and said, "As I said, I had a friendship with your father. Of course, I'd know about that."As he spoke, he felt rather emotional deep down.'Haha… What a silly girl. Looks like I was right. She's still unaware that a thousand years have passed.'"That's great."As Lindsey was silently excited, she had also completely let her guard down. She looked at Adam excitedly and asked imperatively, "Do you know where my father is?"Lindsey meant well, and she did not know that she had fallen into Adam's trap.Seeing Lindsey looking desperate, Adam did not answer him immediately. Instead, he exhaled lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I have no idea where your father is, but before the Heavenly Secret Palace was wiped out, I met your father once, and he told me about a place and told me to bring you there."To gain Lindsey's trust, Adam started talking nonsense. Hearing that, Lindsey was even more convinced.'The underground
Hearing what Lindsey said, everyone, including Adam and the elites of the community, was extremely excited.Then, Adam quickly asked, "Where are they?"He spoke calmly, but there was desperation in his eyes.Lindsey lifted her finger and pointed at a statue placed behind the main hall. "When my father brought me here, he used his internal energy and made a Spirit of the Heavenly Secret, integrating the mysteries and arts of the Heavenly Secret Palace in it. Then, he sealed it in that statue…"Immediately, the elites that were excited charged toward the statue. The reason why they waited quietly was to wait for Lindsey to state the location of the treasure.When they realized the treasure was in the statue, who else would stand there like a fool?'This…'Looking at the situation, Lindsey was startled.At the same time, Adam was outraged. He shouted, "What are you doing? Stop!" 'I put in so much effort to get this girl to tell me where the treasures are, and these people want t
"Spirit of the Heavenly Secret?""This is the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret left behind by the Palace Master of the Heavenly Secret Palace. It contains all the mysterious cultivation methods of the Heavenly Secret Palace…""Treasures. Those are treasures…"Looking at the bead, everyone there was utterly excited.'Spirit of the Heavenly Secret?'At the same time, Darryl was also intrigued.'The bead looks similar to the Spiritual Pearl from the ancient tomb of Lu Bu.'Darryl clearly remembered that when he entered Lu Bu's ancient tomb, there was also a similar bead in Lu Bu's crystal coffin.Back then, Zhu Bajie called it the Spiritual Pearl. It was agglomerated after Lu Bu died and contained the ultimate technique he used when he was alive, named the Blood Battle Eight Directions.The Spirit of the Heavenly Secret also contained the ultimate technique of the Heavenly Secret Palace. Whoever got their hands on it would inject their internal energy, and the mysterious cultivation
Gasp!Adam and the elites could not help but gasp.'Those stone sculptures are non-living, but how can they be so terrifying once the formation is formed? That dead elite was well-known in the community, and now he has been killed by a single move.'"Everyone, don't panic!" Adam calmed down and shouted at the crowd, "These stone sculptures were arranged in specific patterns. It should not be difficult to resolve as long as we remain united."In fact, Adam was enraged when the crowd ignored his order and rushed to steal the treasure from the statue. However, he realized that he could not just abandon them in such a situation.'After getting the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret, those people's life and death will have nothing to do with me anymore.'Martin, who had been silent, immediately said, "Sect Master Bedford is right. Everyone was too reckless just now. We should not have fought, and we ended up triggering the mechanism. Now we should listen to orders."If we are not united,
