“It appears that you do as well!” replied the slightly surprised Gerald. “Indeed… I accidentally learned of them while investigating the deaths of my heirs. Though I’ve been a Domiensch Master for the longest time—and can even be considered to be a top master within the cultivation realm—, to this very day, the Sun League has given me much more pressure than I’d like to admit. Regardless, from what I can guess, the Sun League appears to be an ancient sect that houses a plethora of experts!” replied Saint Darkwind. “Well, they’re an extremely powerful organization, so you pretty much guessed correctly. Either way, the truth is, my lover was kidnapped by the Sun League. With that in mind, her kidnapping was the main reason I entered the cultivation realm. I still haven’t given up on unraveling that organization’s mysteries and saving her! That aside, I now get why you want my help so much. It seems we both have a bone to pick with the Sun League!” “Truly so… While I don’t know much

“His name is Daryl, and he’s my grandfather! Well, on paper, at least… I really doubt he’s my grandfather nowadays… After all, after everything he’s done, I now see him as nothing more than a devil!” replied Gerald as he shook his head, prompting Saint Darkwind to widen his eyes in shock. After a brief pause, Saint Darkwind sighed before saying, “…You know, the pledge of the holy water has been carried out for decades… Who knows how many people with bloodline spiritual essence he’s killed…? Are we even sure that he hasn’t already turned into a full devil? If he has, then you’ll never be his match!” The cultivation realm and Deitus Realm were simply too far apart! Though Gerald understood that, he simply replied, “I’m aware of that possibility, though that doesn’t mean I’ll just wait for him to claim my life! Regardless, aside from all the things we’ve mentioned, you should know that I’m currently hot on Daryl’s trail. Once we find him, I believe that many of our questions will fin

Even after all that ruckus, the young mistress didn’t appear to be pacified. Instead, she grabbed a stool before tossing it toward the two! To her surprise, though she had properly taken aim at the siblings, the bench ended up hitting her valet on the head! His head now bleeding, the valet covered his wound while whining, “S-second Young Mistress! What are you doing…?!” “I… I must’ve been so angry that I misaimed! No matter, I’m beating those two to death myself!” retorted the woman as she grabbed another stool and tossed it at them! To her shock, this time, she hit the guard standing beside her instead! Due to how close he was, the guard—who now had a bleeding head as well—instantly passed out and flopped to the ground! “W-what on earth is going on…?! I can’t believe this!” exclaimed the dumbfounded young mistress as she picked a teapot up to toss! Just as she was about to fling it, however, a domineering voice yelled, “Toss it if you’re keen on losing your life!” Stunned

“Not exactly… From what Mr. Crawford and I could see, she’s still human, though she cultivates demonic essential qi! With that in mind, her strength should be somewhere between the Morningstars and the Weirs,” explained Saint Darkwind. “I agree. Aside from that, she seems to have just recently started cultivating as well. I have to say that her elegant temperament really hides her evilness well!” added Lyndon. “Indeed… Now I’m starting to get worried about those siblings. After all, if that woman is truly evil, then the siblings are in for more trouble!” muttered Gerald as he shook his head. “Shall I tail them?” asked Lyndon, as he hopped to his feet. “That isn’t necessary. I’ve already locked onto them with my holy sense. Also, speak of the devil, I can sense that woman going after them now… Alright, that settles it. I want you and the professor to remain here while I head over with Darkwind to see what that woman’s up to,” ordered Gerald. Before Lyndon could reply, Gerald a

Upon hearing that, the seven women exchanged glances before nodding as they said, “Yes, we haven’t been able to contact him all this time… As you saw earlier, many people are looking for him… We don’t even know whether he’s still alive…” “…Could he really have died…? Are we too late?” muttered Lyndon. “I don’t think so… Where was he last seen?” asked Gerald. “The base! At the time, Chairman Lurvink had called and told me to transfer some of the assets to my name. Following that, he told me to send him some documents to the base, and that was the last I heard of him…” explained the old gardener out of the blue. Turning to face the old man, Gerald then asked, “And he disappeared right after that…? Didn’t any of you head to the base to check on him?” “Of course, we did! We even called the police. Unfortunately, no matter how many times we went there, the base remained completely empty…” replied one of the women. “…I see. Where is this base? And what’s it used for?” asked Geral
