"He's been on a case lately, and because it's top secret, he wouldn't spill the beans on the details," she explained.Howard gave a slight nod in understanding.The Shadow Sect's rule was ironclad. No one said a word about an ongoing investigation, not even to family."Is your Wadsworth family mixed up in this mess?" Howard asked, eyeing Baxter."Who do you think you are, talking to Mr. Baxter Wadsworth like that?" A tough-looking guy with a scar across his face stepped forward, jabbing a finger at Howard. "Beat it, now!"Before he could finish his threat, a sudden gust knocked the scar-faced man off his feet, sending him flying into a table. His head cracked open, gushing blood."Aahh!" he wailed in agony.Baxter's brow furrowed in annoyance. "You looking for trouble, kid?"Howard did not back down. "Tell me, does the Wadsworth family have anything to do with Cilix's predicament?"Baxter's anger boiled over. "You're asking for it, kid! Let's do this—break their arms and legs,

Chapter 542

Baxter might stand his ground against Sullivan's Shadow Sect cronies, but squaring off with the Shadow Sect's district governors? That was another story. Those governors were power players, the kind he did not cross without thinking twice.With just a word, the Shadow Sect's army of thousands in the central district could swoop in on Sullivan in no time. Dealing with him and the Wadsworths? That would be over in minutes.However, he had not seen Lukas showing up in Sullivan. Was he there because of the Cilix situation?The thought sent a shiver down his spine, and a ripple of unease spread through him."Sir!"Lukas was then before Howard, bowing deeply.Howard had made it clear to his close associates that all formalities were to be dropped in Talia's presence.The scene left everyone's mouth agape, their faces a picture of utter astonishment, as they stood frozen in shock.The high and mighty district governors of the Shadow Sect, who commanded respect from the elite of Sulliv

Chapter 543

"The Dark Essence Sect?" A chill flickered in Howard's gaze. "They're back from the dead?"The Dark Essence Sect was notorious, a cult that practiced dual cultivation and wreaked havoc, sparing no one in their path of destruction.Over a decade ago, they were taken down by the leader of the Shadow Sect. The records showed that a thousand of their followers met their end. Since then, they vanished without a trace, silent for nearly ten years.Then, out of the blue, they have resurfaced."It's got to be the leftovers from ten years back stirring up trouble!" Lukas agreed."Cilix could be in danger. Track his phone right now, see where he's at," Howard commanded."In danger?" Lukas was taken aback.He had tried to reach Cilix after getting a message from Howard, but could not get through.He had brushed it off, thinking Cilix might just be in a dead zone in the mountains.However, Howard's words sent a shiver down his spine.Pulling out his phone, Lukas worked it for a moment.

"Ms. Redfern, as Talia's friend, you're my friend too—no need for formalities," Howard said, his smile returning as he smoothly changed the subject."Don't fret over Cilix. I'm sure everything's fine."He did not have the full picture of Cilix's situation, but from what Baxter had let slip, it did not sound like a crisis. Otherwise, Baxter's tone would have been different."Thank you." Sapphira gave Howard a respectful bow, though her face remained clouded with concern."Sapphira, don't fret. If my husband says everything's okay, then it's all good." Talia's nerves finally settled.Ever since she had bumped into Howard again a few months back, her heart had been on a roller coaster, and she was genuinely scared it might just give out from all the shocks one of those days.Just how many secrets was her husband keeping from her?She could not keep up. She made a mental note to coax the truth out of him with some tender tactics."Thanks, Talia!" Sapphira gave her a grateful look.

"They're absolute scoundrels!" Sapphira exclaimed with fury. "Can you believe it? This whole year, the core members of Sullivan's other families have been picked off one by one, and it was all their handiwork!""The Wadsworths are really playing with fire!" Mystical Chubby said, his brow creased in concern."Cilix got a distress call from Sullivan's authorities a month back, asking for the Shadow Sect to step in and handle the investigation," Lukas added."Back then, we had no clue it was the Dark Essence Sect's leftovers stirring up trouble, so I didn't really sweat it."He must've dug up some solid leads lately, which is why they targeted him.""Mhm," Howard murmured, nodding slightly. "Where's he now?""Baxter's not too sure, but he thinks they've probably snatched him back to their hideout," Lukas replied."Alright, let's go pay these leftovers a visit!" Howard said, nodding decisively before continuing. "Also, pass the word to our guys to put the Wadsworth place on lockdown

"Hm!?" The middle-aged man paused, a flicker of confusion crossing his face. "What do you mean by that?"Howard's voice was steady, betraying no emotion. "The second you saw us, your eyes gave you away."Everyone else looks a bit startled when they meet us, but not you. Your eyes lit up with a hunter's glee, especially when you caught sight of Ms. Redfern. It was like you saw easy prey."And this tea—there's a knockout drug in it, isn't there? One sip, and you're unconscious in less than three minutes."Am I right?"Sapphira gasped, the air chilling her lungs. If Howard knew the tea was laced with poison, why on earth did he drink it?"Hm!?" The middle-aged man's aura turned deadly at Howard's accusation. "Who are you?""Give up the location of your lair, and I'll let you walk away from this," Howard said, his tone as detached as ever.A thug like that stood no chance against the King of the West.Howard had sized up the men outside the moment he stepped into the village.

Chapter 547

He could never have fathomed that the storied Master Howard would show up in the flesh.Then he knew why Howard was unaffected by the poisoned tea. A man of his stature would not be taken down by some ordinary herbal poison.He felt a pang of sorrow for the doomed sect members up the mountain. By the end of the night, the Dark Essence Sect would likely be history.Three silver needles shot from Howard's hand, striking the man and sealing away his cultivation base."Lead the way!" Howard ordered."Yes...right away..."Shaking with fear, the man scrambled to his feet and headed for the door.The Dark Essence Sect's survivors had hidden themselves well, and it took the group an hour of nocturnal trekking to arrive at their hidden destination.Nestled in a secret dip on the mountainside was a modest estate, its wooden structures all painted to merge seamlessly with the surroundings.The estate was encircled by mountains, with towering trees on all sides. Without the man's guidance

Boom! Boom! Boom!Before the 20 or 30 attackers could even get set, they were all down for the count, dead or seriously injured."Ridiculous!" An enraged shout echoed. A swarm of men and women, 300 to 400 strong, burst from a nearby building.A white-haired elder in his sixties led the charge, with three other seniors in tow, a man and two women."Yago, you're behind this?" A chilling aura of death spread from the elder."Great Elder, help me!" Yago screamed, racing toward the old man.However, before Yago could reach him, the elder's eyes darkened. With a sweep of his hand, he unleashed a ferocious wind.Yago was blown apart, his body exploding in a cloud of blood, leaving nothing behind.The elder was formidable, a martial god in his own right.Sapphira retched once more."Where's Cilix?" Howard asked, his voice aloof and detached."What?" The elder's eyes narrowed. "You're with the Shadow Sect?""Give us Cilix now, or it's over for you!" Lukas demanded, his tone grave.

The woman's laughter was uncontrollable, shaking like a blossom in the breeze. "Thanks!"Finishing her thanks, she playfully licked the man's cheek."Can they really do that?"Mystical Chubby watched the siblings with a sense of revulsion.Sapphira felt nauseous once more.The woman, after a suggestive lick of her lips, turned her gaze to Sapphira and said, "My dear, you must be Cilix's betrothed, am I right?""Perfect timing. Tonight, you and your sweetheart will join us siblings for a little 'practice'.""Scoundrels!" Sapphira yelled furiously. "Let Cilix go this instant!""Don't rush, sweetheart. After your 'practice' session with us, he might not even want to leave," the woman replied with a sly chuckle."You kidnapped Cilix to make him one of you?" Howard's gaze sharpened as he stared at the man.10 years after the Dark Essence Sect was wiped out by the Shadow Sect, they have resurfaced, fueled by a thirst for vengeance.They could have easily finished off Cilix but cho

"Who... Who are you?" the man stammered, struggling to his feet and staring at Howard.He had underestimated them, thinking Lukas was the only real threat. However, as Mystical Chubby moved to strike, he realized that encounter was far more complex than he had anticipated.The once-unshakable warrior had been effortlessly knocked aside by Howard's palm, and he knew things were about to get ugly.He had a hunch about who Howard might be."My boss' last name is Lincoln, hailing from the Western Region. And who might you be talking about?" Mystical Chubby asked, his voice frosty as ice.The crowd gasped, their faces a canvas of pure astonishment.Could this man really be King of the West, Master Howard, in the flesh?Although she had anticipated that Master Howard would be skilled, she had not imagined his prowess to reach such heights. He was a martial arts master, and the man could not even defend against a single move from him.The man's eyes were a well of despair. "So it's tr
