“You couldn’t get near him. You’re telling me, that none of you were even able to get close to himdespite being extremely powerful fighters who can individually shake the world? Do you think I’m thatdaft?!” growled the infuriated Jaxen as he raised his palm and mobilized his essential qi, fully ready tokill!
“Wait, Patriarch!” exclaimed an old man who had silently been sitting at the side this entire time out ofthe blue.
Watching as Jaxen then turned to face him with a raised brow, the elder stroked his beard beforeadding, “After careful examination of Ian’s injuries, he seems to have been killed by an extremelystrong aura blade. While it isn’t uncommon for people to learn how to form them, it’s extremely rare forsomeone to be able to advance to this level!”
“I agree! With that said, they’re most probably telling the truth about Gerald’s ability being beyondregular cultivators!” declared another elder.
“Then what should we do? I can’t just let things slide when Ian was killed like this! What more, I’m sureGerald will be coming for the rest of us soon!” retorted Jaxen.
“While it’s true that we’ve found ourselves in a tricky situation, if we rush in to deal with Gerald, there’sa chance that we’ll likely die more tragically than Ian! With that said, I propose we find someone fromthat side…” said the Grand Elder.novelbin
“That side…? Are you… Saying we should look for some one from the Thunder Sword Sect…?” askedJaxen in surprise.
“I am. After all, our family’s been building this huge economic structure under the orders of the ThunderSword Sect so that they could build bases for brewing spirit tincture. With that in mind, they should helpus now that our family’s in danger! Don’t think I’m overreacting either. From the severity of Ian’swounds, I have a feeling that Gerald may be even stronger than the disciples of that sect! He really isn’tsomeone we can take lightly, and if we don’t get rid of him first, our heads will be off soon too!” repliedthe elder with a frown.
After hearing all that, Jaxen calmed down a little. When he thought back about the guards’ descriptionsof Gerald’s attack, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled. After all, Jaxen had been practicing secrettechniques for ages, yet he had never even heard of the moves Gerald had used…
Pleased to see that Jaxen had quieted down, the Grand Elder then placed his hands against his backbefore saying, “Well, I say that, but there’s no real hurry. After all, we still have Gerald’s disciple andgood friend with us. I propose that we release both of them, then issue a duel with Gerald that’ll takeplace on the day of your birthday banquet. Naturally, we’ll be inviting several experts from the ThunderSword Sect over to be his opponents! I’m sure Gerald won’t be able to take on all of them, no matterhow strong he is!”
“That sounds like an excellent idea! You heard the Grand Elder! Get in touch with the Thunder SwordSect. Also, let Leo and Aiden free. Once you’re done, send that boy a challenge letter and tell him tomeet us at Mountain Top, the banquet’s venue, in three days!” ordered Jaxen with a firm nod.
“Right away!” declared his subordinates as they immediately took action…
Meanwhile, on an island far away from Jay City, three white haired elders donning plain clothes, couldbe seen sitting cross-legged and facing each other in a triangle formation. With their sword fingerspinched together, they were clearly forming a sword formation.
As they were cultivating, a child suddenly came rushing toward them, though he remained silent whenhe realized what they were doing. Noticing the child, one of the elders then asked, “What is it?”
“We’ve received news from the Morningstar family stating that they’re in trouble! They’re in suchdanger that they immediately asked for the three of you to come to their rescue!”
“They what, now?” replied another old man as all three of them opened their eyes…
