Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 3941 - Bab 3950

Adrian replied, unhesitantly, “You must guarantee my safety. I’m all for eliminating daemons, but risking my life is a no-go. I want to live at least a few more years.”“That’s a reasonable ask.”The person who responded was not Irene, but someone else. Adrian turned toward the voice and saw Kayne.Irene was surprised to see Kayne, asking, “Sir, why are you here?”Kayne replied smilingly, “Why, am I not allowed to be here?”Irene quickly bowed in respect. "Of course, you are. I'm just surprised to see you here in person."Kayne waved. "There’s no need to be surprised. You’re no longer needed here. You may leave. I’ll handle the rest.""But..." Irene frowned slightly, a strange look flickering in her eyes.Kayne continued, "Does my word as an elder count for nothing?"With that, Irene had no reason to object. "Yes, sir. I will take my leave."Then, she left Adrian and Kayne to talk. However, neither spoke for a moment. A mountain breeze blew past, lifting the hems of their gar

Earlier, Irene had been suspicious of the imposter-Kayne and went to gather a few other apprentices. She had not expected to be a step too late.Adrian merely laughed and said, “Even though he managed to escape, I think I figured out who he is.” He did not elaborate, but his meaning was clear.Tyron stepped forward and flapped open his folding fan. He asked, “You mean that person was disguised as someone from Haroon’s group?”Adrian smiled mysteriously. “Who knows for sure? Either way, we’ll find out tomorrow.”Although Adrian appeared calm, he used the Ancient Life Text late at night to deduce the truth. However, there was no way to figure out the imposter’s true identity.“The Ancient Life Text is powerful, but it’s limited by my level and the opponent’s strength. Whether that imposter is real or not, he’s at least a Golden Core Stage expert. I’m only at the Nascent Stage. I can’t do much if he hides.” Adrian sighed.Even so, he knew improving his strength was the ultimate path

However, to everyone’s surprise, Adrian suddenly vanished into thin air. Haroon’s seemingly powerful attack hit nothing but air.How was this possible?Haroon’s strike was clearly an all-encompassing assault, with no possible escape for his opponent. Yet, the current scene was utterly shocking.Not only was Haroon stunned, but the surrounding audience was also dumbfounded by this turn of events. They were all baffled as to how Adrian, a living person, could disappear without a trace.It seemed Adrian had more tricks up his sleeve! Where could this kid have gone?Haroon immediately retracted his illusions and stood still, looking around in an attempt to locate Adrian. However, Adrian had seemingly evaporated into thin air, completely vanishing without a trace.After searching for a long time without any sign of Adrian, Haroon finally shouted in frustration, “Come out! What kind of skill is it to hide like this?”No one responded.“Damn it...”Feeling deeply insulted, Haroon cou

Haroon responded to Kayne's question in a mocking tone, “Conspiracy? What conspiracy?”The crowd erupted in disbelief. No one expected that, even after falling to such a low point, Haroon would remain stubborn. It seemed like he no longer valued his life.However, with Kayne present, the crowd refrained from saying much. No matter how despicable Haroon was, Kayne would ultimately be the one to punish him. With Edwin Wells, the higher elder, temporarily absent, Kayne was in charge of giving out punishment within the faction.Kayne extended his hand, and a wisp of black gas appeared in his palm. However, a force contained the black gas, preventing it from harming those present. He questioned sternly, “No conspiracy? Then what do you call this poison gas?”Haroon merely let out a cold snort and replied, “That was all me. I knew I couldn’t beat him, so I resorted to underhanded tactics to win. Is that not allowed?”“In that case, you will pay the price for your actions.” As Kayne’s wo

Upon hearing Kayne's words, Darcie's eyes lit up. "So, you've already set your sights on this young man?"Kayne didn’t deny it. "That's right. I’ve had my eye on him for a while. He has great strength and boundless potential, so I’m willing to take him under my wing."Seeing Kayne speak so decisively, Darcie didn’t argue. "The techniques I practice aren’t suitable for him anyway. Since you’re so determined, I’ll reluctantly concede and let you have him."While the elders were discussing how to bring Adrian in as an apprentice, Adrian himself was completely unaware. In the following days, everything remained calm. For the outer apprentices, their most important task was preparing for the upcoming inner apprentice trial.This trial occurred once every five years. Aside from the requirement that participants must be outer apprentices of Purecastle, there were no other restrictions. Anyone was eligible to participate in the trial, even if they had only joined Purecastle the previous da
