Wade closed the book and said faintly, "Good. I also want to meet Andrius. Bring him here.""Yes."Not long after, Kate led Andrius to the room.The moment Wade saw Andrius, a cold glint flashed in his eye, and in a split second, he grabbed Andrius' neck and lifted him into the air.Wade stared at Andrius intently and said in an icy voice, "Speak. Who is the mastermind who set this trap for the Medicine Sect?""Cough, cough cough..."Andrius struggled to breathe from Wade's grip and coughed violently before Wade loosened his hold somewhat, letting Andrius feel better."I was imprisoned by the Swallows and couldn't set any trap. I don't know what you're talking about! On the other hand..."Despite being at a disadvantage, Andrius remained bold and questioned, "You share the same ancestors with the Kleins and the same bloodline!"Why did you choose to stand by the sidelines when the four great families attacked back then?"Why didn't you lead the Medicine Sect in a fight to the
Wade saw Andrius’ reaction and knew that he had likely obtained the remaining map. He continued, “Andrius, whether you like it or not, finding the Klein family’s treasure is your only chance of staying alive. Otherwise, no one can save you.”Then, he stopped paying attention to Andrius and instructed, “Kate, help him back to his room. Let him recover quickly and put an end to this whole farce.”“Yes.”Kate immediately helped Andrius back to his room. Then, she poured some hot water for him and advised, “Andrius, you heard my grandfather. Get some rest! Food and water will be delivered, so don’t worry.”She did not know what to say to this remarkable person.After giving him a few instructions, she left the room.Andrius remained inside. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.That night, he could not sleep at all. He could not understand.What exactly happened to the Kleins twenty years ago?Why would his granduncle, the head of the Medicine Sect, claim that the
Kate’s expression turned complex, and her voice lowered. “Granduncle’s strength kept growing, and so did his ambition.“There were almost no more individuals who could contend with him one-to-one, so he began to think of...immortality!”Immortality!Even Andrius’ eyes twitched slightly at that word.Throughout history, countless powerful individuals have been obsessed with the idea of immortality. However, immortality broke the laws of nature, so it was far from easy.Despite that, the Kleins head strove for that ambition. It seemed quite far-fetched.“It’s said that the treasure protected by the Kleins could grant immortality.” Kate adjusted her mood and continued, “Thus, Granduncle set his sights on this treasure that had been passed on for countless years.“The Kleins have a long-standing tradition. They are the guardians of the treasure and are responsible for making sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Stealing it themselves is out of the question.“However, Grandunc
“What is it?” Wade’s expression remained unchanged as he asked calmly, “What is your condition?”“I want Kate!” Andrius looked at Kate beside him and spoke firmly.Kate was stunned at his words.Wade also instantly frowned.“Don’t misunderstand.” Andrius explained, “With my current condition, I probably can’t even walk out of Mount Cura, let alone search for the Klein family’s treasure.“Thus, I need acupuncture to maintain my health. As the Medicine Sect’s Maiden, Kate is undoubtedly skilled in acupuncture. Thus...”Kate’s expression eased slightly as she listened to his explanation.However, Wade felt that it was not that simple and said firmly, “Acupuncture is just a minor skill. I’m a master at it. I’ll personally perform acupuncture for you to ensure your well-being.”Andrius did not yield. “Sect Master, I don’t doubt your acupuncture skills, but I don’t need it. I only want Kate.”Andrius was firm.Wade was increasingly suspicious. He glanced at Kate and snorted coldly.
Not long after he spoke, a graceful figure walked in.Kate carried a box of silver needles of various shapes and sizes. She made preparations while asking curiously, “Andrius, my granddad’s acupuncture skills are unparalleled in the Medicine Sect and are far superior to mine. Why did you specifically request me to perform the acupuncture?”Kate did not believe what Andrius said about serving medicinal tea. She felt that there must be a reason behind it.Andrius looked straight at her and smiled. “It’s because, among everyone in the Medicine Sect, I only find you trustworthy. The others won’t do.”“Huh...” Kate did not expect that answer. After a brief moment of surprise, she instinctively asked, “Why do you feel that way?”“Intuition!” Andrius replied without any reason.Then, they exchanged smiles.“You may use my silver needles.”Andrius nodded toward the silver needles placed on the pillow next to him.Kate silently put away her own needles.“Thanks for your trouble,” Andr
The Black Hawk was waiting in the hall.As a martial grandmaster, he noticed with a glance that there was something wrong with Andrius’ body. He immediately stood up and asked in shock, “Wolf King, what’s wrong with you?”“Don’t worry about it.” Andrius shook his head and did not dwell on this issue.He took out the portion of the missing treasure map that Wade had given him the previous day. “This is the missing part of the treasure map. You can put it together to get an accurate location.”The Black Hawk trusted him and immediately took out the map, aligning the two pieces.Whoosh...As the two maps joined, a mysterious scene unfolded.The two maps, made of different materials, either due to the different material layers or some other reason, began to melt at the connecting point.Then, they formed an entirely new map.Seeing this, the Black Hawk could not help but be stunned. Then, he took the completed map and started pinpointing the treasure’s precise location.After try
The bright moon rose, hanging high in the sky, pure and captivating.Inside the room, Andrius was once again lying on the bed, completely undressed.After the previous session, Kate was not as shy this time. Instead, she was quite eager about this miraculous acupuncture technique that could repair meridians.Whoosh...As the needles were inserted, Kate continuously infused her inner energy through the silver needles into Andrius. His meridians were repaired by more than half.The depleted inner energy in his body also transformed from a trickle into a tide.“Pfft...”Suddenly, Andrius covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of black blood.Kate rushed forward to support him, and in the process, she happened to grab his wrist, which left her greatly astonished.“You... Andrius, did you completely remove all the toxins in your body?”Kate was naturally shocked.Even her grandfather would have found it quite troublesome to fully cleanse the poison that Norvin, the head of the
“Twenty years ago, the temple was deep within the cordillera. However, when the Klein family was annihilated by the four major families, the temple vanished overnight.“Nevertheless, there’s no doubt there’s still a successor inside the temple.”Kate was struck by a realization.That made sense.There was news that Andrius visited the cordillera before. He also mentioned the ‘Hades’ Axiom’, indicating that he had received guidance from the temple’s successors.However, Kate promised Andrius not to reveal the ‘Hades’ Axiom’ or the extraordinary acupuncture technique.After Wade spoke, he fell into deep thought. He contemplated for a moment before suddenly saying, “Kate, I’m sure of one thing. Andrius must have discovered something from the Murrfield temple.“Since he trusts you, stay by his side. I have a feeling that Andrius is the key to the Klein family’s treasure.”Kate could not help but be shocked.Just yesterday, her grandpa had strongly disapproved of Andrius and even b
