Whew…Antigonus was indignant upon sensing Veron's arrogance, but he took a deep breath upon considering his surroundings and identity."I'm only in charge of cleaning the backyard, High Lady. I'm not supposed to be trimming the lawn."Veron's brows furrowed at his response as she roared, "Well, I'm telling you to do it! Cut the crap and get to work! I'm telling you, don't you think highly of yourself at all just because you're a pupil from another sect, got it?"Antigonus did not bother arguing with her and picked up the broom to leave.Veron flared up in rage at the sight. "Hey, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"Just as she was shouting, a charming figure could be seen slowly entering the garden.Clad in a cream colored dress that hugged her curves, she had stunning features that would make any man swoon.It was Circe.Circe opened her mouth to speak at the sight before her. "Veron! What are you yelling for?"As she spoke, she cast a glance at Antigonus.Back at
Antigonus saw Circe's every move.He smiled to himself at the sight of her hiding not far away, and pretended not to know anything as he stood there waiting. Since she was trying to test him, he would have some fun with her.Just then, a growl blared from deep in the woods. Antigonus turned to look and saw two enormous figures charging over at the speed of lightning.They were, of course, the Wind Spirit Wolves.The Wind Spirit Wolves were the most commonly-sighted creatures in the Nine Continents, often living in packs. They were about ten to fifteen meters long, and their powers were around the Martial Saint level.The two wolves were a whopping thirty meters long, covered in white fur that was soft as silk. Their eyes glinted murderously like silver knives, and they radiated a murderous aura. Their powers were in the Heaven Ascension stage.The Langes kept these wolves as pets for almost a hundred years, and their powers were far stronger than others of their kind.Just then,
The Wind Spirit Wolves flicked their tails at Antigonus' words, howling in what sounded like a response.Circe was even more shocked as she reached Antigonus and could not help but say, "You… Are you alright? Gosh, I forgot to tell you there were Wind Spirit Wolves in here."As she spoke, Circe's expression was nothing but apologetic and shocked. However, she was not used to lying, and she could not look Antigonus in the eye."I'm alright!"Antigonus took a deep breath before responding. He tore off a strip of cloth from his shirt to bandage his wound, putting on a frail expression.The truth was that those two gashes were hardly anything to Antigonus.Circe sighed in relief at his response. 'Thank heavens he's fine. He almost lost his life just now.'Circe realized that 'Beka' had not been hiding any powers after all, yet she was still confused, and could not help but ask, "How did they get so obedient all of a sudden?"As she spoke, Circe stared at the Wind Spirit Wolves on t
Thump thump…Just then, a series of knocks came from outside the door.Antigonus opened his eyes, holding back his anger to say, "Who is it?"Despite not knowing who was outside, Antigonus could clearly sense that the man outside radiated a deep and steady aura, implying that he was quite powerful.The voice responded, "It's me."It was Tuji's voice.Whew!Antigonus' gaze flashed. He guessed immediately that Tuji was paying him a visit because he had heard of what happened earlier. Antigonus called out, wrapping his shoulder up with bandages quickly before opening the door.Tuji stood outside silently, his expression calm and devoid of any anger or emotion.Antigonus bowed respectfully. "Is something the matter, Master?"As the Archfiend, Antigonus did not wish to call the man his Master at all. However, he had no choice, seeing as he lived in the man's territory.Tuji chuckled lightly. "Haha! Oh, not much. I just heard from your Senior Sister Circe that you were attacked by
Just as Tuji reeled in shock, Antigonus reached out to block his acupoint.Tuji's body jerked harshly, unable to move.Antigonus did not bother hiding his Fiend soul energy anymore. His terrifying aura filled the room, strong enough to suffocate.Tuji was shocked upon sensing the terrifying energy surrounding Antigonus, and he immediately understood."You… You're not Darryl Darby."Antigonus let out a light chuckle."Indeed, I'm not. I must say, you're pretty skilled for the head of the Lange household. I was careful enough to hide my Fiend powers, but you still saw through me. I really don't know what I would've done if you had Master Magaera's skills."Fortunately for the Archfiend, though, you're nothing but a lowly mortal. I wasn't planning to do anything to you, so you can't fault me for what I did."The Archfiend?Tuji's mind was muddled, and he immediately thought of how the Fiend race had wreaked havoc upon the world just a year ago as realization dawned upon him."Yo
Debra and Rachelle had not taken any breaks the entire journey, all while having to avoid the patrolling soldiers. It could be said that they were mentally and emotionally exhausted.Rachelle nodded at Debra's words, her mood lightening considerably.Yet just then, about twenty figures could be seen soaring over from the heavens not too far away. They were all clad in armor, and it was clear that they were Godly Region soldiers patrolling the grounds.Rachelle trembled at the sight.Master Magaera had sped up enough to have his men near Donghai City already.At the thought, Debra grew anxious. The woods nearby were pretty sparse, and they would be discovered easily. More than that, neither her nor Rachelle had recovered yet, and they would be no match if a fight was to break out."You leave first."Just then, Rachelle bit her lip to say, "I'll distract them."Just as the words rang through the air, Debra shook her head. "No way. That's far too dangerous." They were almost at Do
What?The hall broke out into a sea of voices at the news. Everyone was shocked, thinking they had heard wrongly.It was important to note that the Lange household operated on a strict set of rules, and it took a regular pupil at least two years to be considered one of the Master's own.Yet 'Beka' was not even related to the Langes, and was a mere pupil from another sect. On top of that, he had been made Tuji's own pupil in barely two days. This was unbelievable.What…Circe jerked at the news from where she stood as well, her brain buzzing blankly as she stared at Tuji in shock.What had gotten into her father?He barely knew anything about Beka. Why was he making him his own pupil just like that?More importantly, her father had been suspicious of Beka's identity all this time. Seeing him change his mind so suddenly threw her off guard greatly."Master!"Just as Circe was reeling in shock, an elder could not help but step up to offer a word of advice. "Master… Beka's not re
As the crowd continued to ponder, their gazes unanimously fell onto Tuji.Everyone was of the opinion that Tuji was sure to give Beka a piece of his mind, knowing that their head had always been a man of discipline and order.Yet Tuji's response gave the crowd a shock once again."Alright!"Tuji nodded with a smile, waving a hand at Antigonus. "Go get some rest then, since you didn't get enough sleep last night."As he spoke, Tuji said to the crowd, "Beka's new in the Lange household, and isn't used to many things. Don't disrupt him if there's nothing urgent. Got it?"His tone was full of warmth, as if he treated Antigonus like an honored guest.Antigonus nodded, leaving the hall in big strides without casting a second glance at the crowd.What…Everyone present was frozen in place at Tuji's demeanor, their minds buzzing blankly.What had gotten into Master Tuji for him to treat a mere pupil from a different sect with such high honor?Tuji seemed to be oblivious to the crowd
