Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Betrayal
Medicine King Valley.
Corpses strewn everywhere.
The main gate was shattered. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Inside the courtyard, chaos reigned.
Countless severed limbs were scattered all around.
Devlin clenched a cigarette in his mouth, leaning against a broken stone door at the entrance of Medicine King Valley.
Behind him stood a group of men in black, holding long knives.
These men in black were the secret weapons of Thunderpeak Hall!
After being modified in Granny Xihua’s laboratory in the Americas, they were impervious to knives and guns and very hard to kill!
Moreover, each of them had a microchip implanted in their bodies.
The chip linked to their eyes.
Through data analysis, the men in black possessed strong combat abilities.
Put simply, they were the products of the technological era.
Granny Xihua wouldn’t allow these men to appear unless absolutely necessary.
This time, if it weren’t for the secret of the Divine Dragon Tripod being leaked, and Medicine King Valley leading the effort to kill Mad Dragon within Medicine King Valley, Granny Xihua definitely would not have sent Devlin out.
"Just as I guessed," Devlin looked at the mess on the ground and shook his head, "Thinking it’s easy to kill Mad Dragon? You’re oversimplifying things. If he were that easy to kill, he should have died four years ago already."
After taking a long drag on the cigarette in his hand, Devlin flicked the cigarette butt away.
Leading the men in black, he walked towards the inside of Medicine King Valley.
"Save... save me..."
A faint, barely audible voice came from a pile of corpses.
Some, lucky enough to have survived a bomb blast, clung to life.
Seeing Devlin and his men, they thought they were allies and desperately called for help.
"Water... give me some water to drink..."
The blazing sun was merciless.
Many were severely wounded by the bombs and were hanging on by a thread.
Being roasted under the sun all afternoon had left them completely parched.
Whoosh!
Their response:
The sound of a dart.
"Check for any survivors. If there are any alive, finish them off!"
Devlin, standing among the crowd, fired several shots in succession.
Then, he took out another cigarette from his chest and put it in his mouth.
"The damned Mr. Beaumont being dishonest, sneaking off with all my cigarettes."
Taking out a lighter, he lit the cigarette, then looked at the empty box.
He tossed it away casually.
"Ah..."
Spurt!
Cries of agony followed one after another from behind him.
The thermal imagers built into the eyes of those men in black could clearly tell who was really dead and who was feigning death.
Thunderpeak Hall was far ahead of other sects in terms of keeping up with the times!
Powerful as Medicine King Valley was, it remained isolated, rarely coming into contact with much new technology.
Before long, the people in the courtyard were all slaughtered.
Devlin, pinching the almost burnt-out cigarette butt, walked with one hand behind his back and a monitor in the other.
"Search to the southeast!"
On the screen, there was a red dot.
The red dot was the location where Elwood Thorneycroft was.
Before going to Ghost Valley, Devlin had already installed a locator device and high-tech chip on Elwood Thorneycroft.
The purpose was, when they attacked Medicine King Valley, to precisely locate Elwood Thorneycroft.
"Elwood Thorneycroft, Elwood Thorneycroft, you killed Fabian Percival, I could pretend I don’t know, but today, if you don’t have what I want, I really cannot forgive you!"
He finished speaking, Devlin pulled out a box of hidden weapons from his waist and flung the cigarette butt to the ground.
He strode towards the red dot’s location.
Before long, they arrived at a side room.
"There’s someone inside!"
Through infrared sensing, a man in black approached Devlin, "Eight of them!"
Before technology, those Medicine King Valley disciples had nowhere to hide.
Julius Reed had not killed everyone when he left.
Many disciples from the medical sect had fled in advance, hiding in rooms within Medicine King Valley.
The Medicine King had been killed, and the Supreme Elder had met a violent death.
The few dozen remaining disciples of Medicine King Valley had become a complete mess.
First, they were afraid the Mad Dragon hadn’t left and didn’t dare to go out.
Secondly, some planned to take some valuable things and leave this place to enjoy life.
Medicine King Valley was strict in its rules, and these people normally had no opportunity to leave.
Now, it was the best opportunity.
There were many treasures in the valley and, relying on their superior medical skills, they could still live lavishly on the outside.
Whoosh!
The door was kicked open.
Inside, eight disciples were crouching in the corner, clutching longswords, their faces filled with terror.
"Huh?"
Devlin stepped in, taking a careful look around, but Elwood Thorneycroft was nowhere to be seen!
He took out the monitor to make sure he hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
"Where is he?"
Looking at the eight people in front of him, Devlin demanded loudly.
"Who..."
Yesterday at noon, that scene had already scared them witless.
Eight disciples had been squatting here for a day and a night, not daring to make a move.
Now, suddenly, when living people broke in, they nearly died of fright.
"Women!" Devlin roared, "The woman living in this room!"
There were still scattered syringes on the floor, and equipment used to draw blood.
It was certain that Elwood Thorneycroft had definitely lived here.
"I... I don’t know..."
Someone said quietly.
Many of them weren’t the disciples responsible for guarding and naturally didn’t know who lived in this room.
The main reason was that this place was secluded and not easy to discover.
That’s why they were hiding here.
"Damn it!"
Whoosh!
Devlin angrily pulled the trigger!
A series of screams rang out incessantly.
All eight Medicine King Valley disciples lay in pools of blood.
"Search!"
After throwing the hidden weapon box, he yelled out.
The group of men in black behind him turned the room upside down, leaving it in a mess.
"Mr. Devlin!"
Someone carefully took a chip out from under the blankets.
"Elwood Thorneycroft, you betrayed me!"
Devlin took the chip, his face as still as water.
Snap!
With a fierce pinch of his two fingers, he crushed the chip to pieces.
"Search! Even if I have to turn Medicine King Valley upside down, I must find what I want!"
Devlin punched a wall, breathing heavily.
"Elwood Thorneycroft, don’t let me find you!"
The usually composed man was thoroughly enraged that day!
He hadn’t expected the least noticeable pawn in his hand to turn against him.
If he couldn’t get what he wanted, all would be lost!
"Hu!"
After taking a deep breath, Devlin pushed open the room door and slowly walked onto the central high platform of Medicine King Valley.
There, a long spear was planted.
On the spear, a half-burnt golden dragon flag was blazing.
Below, lay a skeleton.
"Mad Dragon, the Holy Master, Julius Reed."
Devlin reached into his pocket only to find that he had no cigarettes.
But just then, as he fixed his gaze on the direction of the main door, his pupils shrank sharply!
An old man in a black robe was slowly walking in.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the old man appeared right in front of Devlin!
And with one hand, he lifted him off the ground!
Hundreds of meters, covered in just one step!
"Are you from Medicine King Valley?"
The elder asked coldly.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, the men in black quickly surrounded them.
"No..."
Devlin quickly raised one hand to stop his men.
"I’m not... from Medicine King Valley."
He used all his strength just to utter those words.
"Do you know who was responsible for wiping out Ghost Valley that day?"
The elder spoke again.
He had only found a brocade box related to Medicine King Valley in Nash Will’s sleeve.
He had intended to seek revenge on Medicine King Valley himself, but upon arrival, he discovered Medicine King Valley had also been slaughtered.
"Thunderpeak Hall, Granny Xihua..."
Devlin struggled to say, his face turning red to the extreme.
"If you lie..."
The elder narrowed his eyes, "I will make life worse than death for you."
After he finished speaking, he released his hand.
And vanished in an instant.
Thump!
Devlin fell to the ground.
"Mr. Devlin, did you betray the granny?"
One of the men in black stood forward, questioning with doubt, "This is betrayal!"
Zzzt!
But the next moment.
The man in black who spoke immediately fell to the ground.
Twitching all over.
In Devlin’s hand was something resembling a remote control.
"I went to great lengths to lure you out, how could I easily bring you back?" he said coldly, "Those who follow me will thrive, those against me will perish. Do you understand!"
After a brief silence.
"Understood!"
The remaining men in black answered in unison.
