“The soldiers and I searched downstream for dozens of kilometers, but we couldn’t find a trace of anyone. I suspect that Old Hagstorm must have been swept somewhere further by the river.”Swept away by the river?“The river...” Andrius was silent for a long time before raising his head at Hugh. “Whether he’s alive or dead, I want to see his body. Prepare a set of equipment for me. I’ll go down there and look for myself!”Hugh immediately prepared a set of equipment.Andrius dressed while instructing, “Hugh, let this batch of soldiers stay here and rest. The soldiers who didn’t go down earlier, come with me to the river to search.”Just as he spoke, his phone rang.He took out his phone and saw that the caller was Kate.Kate’s voice came from the receiver. “Andrius, something’s very wrong with Luna’s condition. Come back to the Royal Gardens right away!”Something was wrong with Luna?Andrius’ thoughts were in turmoil. He did not know his master’s fate, and now something was wr
Andrius only glanced at Luna and instinctively said, “That’s impossible!”He had been intimate with Luna a few days ago. He could be sure that at that time, Luna was still a helpless woman with no inner energy at all.How could she have transformed into a Martial King in just a few days?That was simply impossible.After all, he knew from experience that breaking through to become a Martial Lord was already perilous and arduous.“Nothing is impossible.” Kate said meaningfully, “After Ms. Crestfall returned, I saw that her aura was steady and her breaths were long and deep. It didn’t seem like she was an ordinary person, so I probed her with inner energy.“Then, guess what happened?”Kate’s beautiful eyes looked at Andrius with a mysterious smile.Andrius frowned and did not respond.Kate continued, “She pushed me back with a single palm strike, nearly injuring me.”What...Andrius’ expression changed. He immediately went up to Luna and checked her wrist.Sure enough, Luna’s
“Unfortunately, I didn’t know that the Seventh Elder would bring his men to block you at the palace gate that day. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have suffered so much...”Andrius waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart.The Dragon Manor could not follow him everywhere. The Swallows would have found an opportunity eventually.However, if it was not Old Hagstorm who had stolen the Anders’ jade pendant, then who was it?Andrius was still perplexed.Just as Andrius was confused, Kate suddenly spoke up, “She doesn’t know, but I might.”Andrius could not help but raise his brow and asked, “What do you know, Kate?”“Tell me about your master first,” Kate said.“My master...” Andrius thought for a moment and explained everything about Old Hagstorm.Kate’s eyes glimmered, and she said with even more conviction, “If my guess is correct, your master is that mysterious prophet of the Kleins over twenty years ago!A prophet!Andrius was puzzled by that title.Kate continued, “The reaso
Andrius still wore a skeptical expression. He did not believe that his master was such a person.After Wade finished speaking, he retorted, “Even if that’s the case, there must be a reason for my master’s actions. It definitely isn’t as you say.”Seeing that Andrius still did not believe him, Wade chose not to say anything more.“Those are the facts. Whether you believe it or not, it won’t change anything. Now, he has fallen off the cliff, but the people behind him will continue to scheme. The whole truth...”Wade looked at Andrius and said confidently, “You and I will find out on the day of the Ancient Martial Assembly!”Andrius was silent. Too much had happened in the past few days and had a profound impact on him.First, his master fell off a cliff to save Luna, then he learned that Luna had the strength of a Martial King.Finally, Wade said that Old Hagstorm had always been scheming in the background with the goal of seizing the position of the Ancient Martial Alliance Chief
“It’s the kind that I previously suggested you use for regaining your inner energy.“However, if you want to directly absorb the fruit’s power, you need to suppress the frigid energy to absorb the healing properties. Otherwise, you’ll face severe consequences.“Fortunately, Ms. Fullberry’s physique can naturally suppress frigid energy, making it much easier for you to absorb the healing properties.”Upon hearing this, Andrius’ thoughts ran wild. That meant he could recover his inner energy to the peak of Martial Emperor without any drawbacks.He quickly asked, “Sect Master Klein, what should I do?”Wade said solemnly, “Guide all of the frigid energy inside Ms. Fullberry’s body using a special technique, then absorb and cultivate with it, converting it into your own inner energy.”That was like stealing Halle’s natural gifts.Andrius hesitated.Wade saw his worries and explained, “Don’t worry. The power of that fruit is exceptionally strong. Pure frigid energy will disrupt the b
However, just as he was about to speak, Luna suddenly turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. She took him off guard and kissed his lips, silencing him completely.The two kissed passionately.It was as if nothing else mattered at this moment. They were the only ones left in the world.After a long time, when Andrius was almost out of breath, Luna finally released him.“Hubby...”Luna’s arms did not let go of him. Her clear eyes gazed at him, pure and deep with love, free from any impurities.“When I decided to give myself to you, I’ve already thought it through. You’re a man like no other, and the hero in the dreams of countless girls. Being your woman is surely not an easy task.“However, I don’t regret it. In fact, I’m proud of it! I’m willing to change for you. I’m willing to sacrifice for you.“Whatever choice you make and whatever you do, I’ll support you unconditionally!”Andrius’ heart warmed at Luna’s words.“Luna...”Luna’s beautiful face was reflected
After Noir and the others returned to Kiyoto, Andrius immediately brought them to the Forbidden Palace to meet with the emperor, Registus.Andrius said with a low tone, “Registus, something has happened to Master.”He then recounted in detail the incident where Old Hagstorm fell off the cliff.“What did you say?” Registus stood up and stared at Andrius with shock in his eyes. “Master… fell into an abyss, and we don’t know if he’s alive or dead?”“Yes...” Andrius was still unwilling to accept what happened and said sorrowfully, “Beneath the abyss is a swift river, but Master was severely injured at that time...”He trailed off.Judging by the situation, as Wade mentioned, there was hardly any chance of survival for anyone who fell down such an abyss, unless they were a Martial Saint.“Master!” Registus let out a wail and slumped on the ground, shedding tears of sorrow. “Master, you’ve raised and nurtured me for many years, imparting your profound teachings. How could you leave us
Andrius narrowed his eyes at Noir’s words.That was indeed peculiar. He already felt something off earlier, but he did not dwell on it. In hindsight, the emperor’s reaction seemed strange.Could the emperor be hiding something from him, hence he was in such a hurry to build a grave?However, what benefit would building a grave for Old Hagstorm bring?Andrius’ thoughts were muddled. He personally saw what happened to Old Hagstorm, was injured by that black-robed man, and heard from Kate and Wade about Old Hagstorm’s past, which was completely different from what he knew and thought.For a moment, Andrius had a splitting headache. He could not make sense of it.Nothing made sense. His thoughts were all tangled and chaotic. He could not fathom the ultimate goal of this scheme and the role he played in it.“Andy. Andy?” Noir called out in concern when Andrius froze.“I’m fine.” Andrius snapped back to his senses and sighed deeply, saying, “Let’s go.”Since he could not figure it o
