Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Defeat
Looking around the empty Great Hall, the leader of Shadow Gate sighed deeply.
"Devlin, you want to intimidate me into leaving with the Divine Dragon Tripod, so you can intercept me halfway. But have you ever thought that, once upon a time, I was your elder brother?" The leader stood up, his hands clasped behind his back on the iron throne.
Suddenly, he pulled it out!
Slash!
A longsword engraved with a skull appeared in his hand.
And on the hilt!
There was a character!
"Defeat!"
Among the Seven Veins, the most cold-blooded one!
And his real name was Tyler Thomas!
The Seven Veins each had their strengths.
Back then, within the "Defeat" vein, Tyler Thomas changed his name and infiltrated the Seven Clouds Academy.
Finally, he got his hands on the Divine Dragon Tripod.
Even the Vein Holder of his vein was unaware of this.
But after four years of intensive study, Tyler Thomas had never figured out how to use this treasure!
Now that everything had been revealed, he no longer had a choice.
"Devlin, sooner or later, I will kill you myself, you old dog!"
Clang!
After speaking, he thrust the longsword back behind the throne.
He turned and left.
...
"So, your master is Kyler Reed? And he planned the war in The North Sea all by himself? Everton Davenport became the scapegoat?"
Gonzalez City.
Small western-style house.
Julius Reed sat on the sofa, looking at Night Fairy in front of him, who seemed like a little girl who had done something wrong, and asked with a smile, "You’ve really kept me in the dark, haven’t you?"
"I’m sorry..." Gabriel Abernathy lowered his head, softly saying, "I always thought... it was your Wolf Cavalry that massacred my people. So I pretended to be Quella Radcliffe..."
"I know, you also wanted to strike at me. Yet even with the knife in your hand, you hesitated," Julius Reed said leisurely, legs propped on the coffee table.
"You knew?"
Gabriel Abernathy was somewhat surprised, "Then you..."
"If you had struck, I assure you, that knife would have ended in your heart," Julius Reed reached out for an apple and took a crunchy bite.
"There’s poison on it..." Gabriel Abernathy tried to stop him but it was too late.
The apple had already been swallowed by Julius Reed.
"The Absolute Dust you left on it..."
Gabriel Abernathy looked a bit strange.
"No worries, that poison is ineffective on me," Julius Reed said, eating the apple nonchalantly.
"Holy Lord is immune to all poisons, no poison in the world affects him," Lillian Tompson said, standing behind Julius Reed, also with a smile.
The mere Absolute Dust, utterly ineffective.
"But, there’s one drug he can’t resist." Nelson, who was cooking in the kitchen, chimed in, "Right, Dragon King? The drug’s effect lasted over three hours, yet you still haven’t detoxified."
At that moment, Julius Reed’s face turned red.
The apple in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.
Thud!
He threw the apple into the trash can, clenching his fists.
"What poison?" Lillian Tompson was surprised, "Holy Lord, is this true? But I’ve been by your side for years and knew nothing about it."
"Hehe, listen to her nonsense," Julius Reed stood up, leaving in a fluster.
"Gabriel Abernathy, come out!"
"Oh!"
Night Fairy got up, a bit puzzled.
Staying comfortably inside the house, why the need to go outside?
When she went out, she found Julius Reed sitting on the steps below, tossing pebbles.
"Master!"
She called out respectfully.
Had Julius Reed not come to her rescue, she might have already been dead.
"You’re saying Kyler Reed is an Elders Victor of The North Sea?" Julius Reed looked at the Night Fairy, who now had a different appearance, and curiously asked, "Is this your real face?"
"No," the Night Fairy shook her head.
"Actually, I have always been curious about what your true face looks like." Julius Reed had lived countless years, but he was particularly interested in the Night Fairy.
The more unknown a person or thing was, the more it sparked everyone’s boundless imagination.
"Is it like changing faces in Peking opera?"
"Of course not."
The Night Fairy shrugged and said, "This is a unique secret technique passed down from our ancestors, how could I simply teach you? Besides, you might not believe what I’m about to say."
She looked into Julius Reed’s eyes and slowly said, "I myself don’t even know what my original face looks like."
Gabriel Abernathy’s gaze was sincere, not seeming to lie.
"Let’s talk about the affairs of The North Sea, the more detailed the better. I have already heard from Lily Jorden once, tell me what she doesn’t know." Julius Reed pinched a small stone and lightly tossed it forward.
"Kyler Reed is an Elders Victor of The North Sea, but his ambition doesn’t just stop at becoming an Elders Victor; he wants to become the new saint of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance." Mentioning her master Kyler Reed, a hint of sadness flashed across Gabriel Abernathy’s face.
But it quickly disappeared.
The original her had died under Kyler Reed’s sword.
Now, she had been reborn.
"When Kyler Reed feigned death and infiltrated The North Sea alone, it was indeed true. But there’s something I’ve never said." The Night Fairy slowly rolled up her sleeve, revealing a symbol on her arm.
It was a pure black hexagon.
Not large, but very conspicuous on the Night Fairy’s pale skin.
"This symbol has been with me since I can remember, and Kyler Reed has one on his arm too. I saw it once when he was injured," Gabriel Abernathy hesitated, but continued, "He asked me to keep this secret. But now, it doesn’t matter. A person who can massacre his own alliance has completely lost my trust."
"This is..."
Julius Reed grabbed Gabriel Abernathy’s arm.
His eyes fixed on that symbol.
"In the early years, there were attempts to overthrow me. Later, they failed," Julius Reed said expressionlessly after a brief headache, "Afterward, the remaining seven people formed an alliance. And you, you are a descendant of this alliance."
"What?" Gabriel Abernathy said surprisingly, "We..."
"I only learned about this three hundred years ago when Granny Xihua betrayed the alliance and exchanged this information for immortality," in an instant, a flood of memories poured into Julius Reed’s mind.
The matters of the Pendleton alliance became gradually clearer.
Julius Reed only remembered that he had given Granny Xihua a lifespan to make her his insider.
But he never recalled exactly what it was.
"Pendleton..."
He kept repeating in his mouth.
"Night, you are of the Night Vein. To think that the Night Vein would brazenly hide right under my nose! And Kyler Reed’s feigned death years ago was probably also an attempt to overthrow the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance through The North Sea! So it is, so it is indeed!"
Granny Xihua!
Bead Pulse branch.
Back then!
Three hundred years ago!
Granny Xihua, at over fifty years old, personally came to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance to inform!
The Seven Veins had already dispersed, no longer in contact.
Thus, Julius Reed gave her a pill every thirty years that could extend her life by thirty years!
Bead Pulse!
Who exactly is behind Thunderpeak Hall?
"What are you doing!"
Just then, a female voice came, breaking Julius Reed’s train of thoughts.
"Are you harassing her! Is this what people do?"
"No, you’re mistaken," Julius Reed hurriedly withdrew his hand.
And Gabriel Abernathy pulled her sleeve down.
"You’re despicable! You just lust after her body! Harassing her and not even admitting it!"
Lily Jorden said angrily.
However, right after she finished speaking, she suddenly rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
