Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Mysterious Letter
Clang!
Julius Reed turned around with a sweep of his sword!
In the air, a spark flew!
"Young man, you killed Manager Wu, you must die today," Leland Will, holding his longsword, landed on the ground and stood like a celestial being in front of the wall.
After battling Granny Xihua in Gonzalez City, he was invited by the chief of the Shadow Gate and had rushed over overnight.
He coincidentally met up with the deputy manager from Pendleton.
But who would have known, just by leaving for a short while, Manager Wu was killed!
And what surprised him most was that no one had broken in through the main door at all.
How did this young man get in?
"I don’t die just because you say so."
Julius Reed held his sword in one hand, eyeing the elderly man: "Sir, are you also from Pendleton?"
"You aren’t qualified to know!"
Swoosh!
Leland Will’s sword tore through the air, slashing like lightning!
"Go!"
Julius Reed grabbed a minor leader with one hand and ferociously threw him forward!
Bang!
A loud sound echoed.
In the air, only a mist of blood remained!
The minor leader, who was alive moments ago, exploded under a single sword strike.
"This room is too small; let’s take this outside and fight to our heart’s content!"
With a leap!
Julius Reed stepped forward, darting into the courtyard!
In front of the room where the chief of Shadow Gate was, there was a spacious martial arts training ground.
Right after he left, Leland Will followed closely behind!
The longsword cut through the air!
Heading straight for Julius Reed!
When experts clashed, there weren’t many fancy tricks.
Sometimes, only one sword stroke was needed!
Clang!
Leland Will leaped into the air, pointing his sword tip directly onto the blade right in front of Julius Reed!
An old and a young, they were thus locked in a standoff!
But what Leland Will didn’t notice was
The Dragon King Ring on Julius Reed’s hand suddenly emitted a red glow.
Evil Qi entered his body!
A domineering force engulfed him!
At this moment,
He only needed one sword.
One sword to determine the winner!
"Who are you?"
Leland Will was somewhat astonished.
Could this young man really withstand his attack?
"I am, the King."
Julius Reed raised his head, gazing directly into Leland Will’s eyes, pausing with each word: "The King you cannot help but serve!"
Having said that!
A cold light flashed!
A sword beam, like lightning, tore through the night sky!
Striking directly onto Leland Will!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
This elder, who had defeated Granny Xihua, staggered back several steps in disarray!
But subconsciously, he squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky!
Above his head.
Julius Reed held his sword with one hand, smashing down with a heaven-shattering strike!
Clang!
Another spark flew!
Leland Will spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, kneeling on one knee.
He had no choice but to kneel.
His own strength couldn’t support him standing up.
"Submit, or die!"
Julius Reed’s eyes were blood red, pressing down the longsword with one hand!
Just with one hand, he forced Leland Will’s face into a ferocious mask, straining with all his might to resist!
But the longsword continued to fall!
"This is impossible! I, a Great Grandmaster and an esteemed expert in the ranking, how can I not defeat a youth!"
He was unwilling!
He refused to accept this!
He was a Great Grandmaster!
Crack!
With the pressure continuing, Leland Will’s arms began to break.
But Julius Reed had no intention of stopping.
The same words again—
Submit.
Or die.
Finally.
The longsword hit the ground.
Leland Will knelt on both knees, his eyes vacant.
Arms hanging down, completely broken.
"Hiss..."
Julius Reed took a deep breath of cold air, beginning to suppress the Evil Qi within his body!
The Evil Qi grew stronger and stronger!
It was even more intense than that time in Medicine King Valley.
And his power grew stronger as well!
When the Evil Qi merged with the overbearing power!
He became a king!
A tyrant!
A tyrant who could defeat everything!
"Speak."
Three minutes later, Julius Reed stood in front of Leland Will, drenched in sweat.
Suppressing the Evil Qi was an extremely painful task!
"Deputy manager, what’s going on? And Pendleton, what’s going on with that?"
"You... know about Pendleton?" Leland Will raised his head, a trace of self-mockery on his face.
Defeated.
Defeated by himself.
Defeated by a youth.
Utterly defeated.
"As expected. Such a powerful figure certainly belongs to the top tier," he shook his head and closed his eyes.
"I, Leland Will, will not betray Pendleton, nor will I betray my friends. It’s your move."
He knelt on the ground, his body trembling violently!
Then he lowered his head.
He ended his own life.
"Hisss..." Julius Reed’s hand, holding the Longsword, trembled slightly!
He was furious!
Irritable!
The restlessness inside him began to devour his reason incessantly.
And, the Evil Qi that was barely suppressed by the Dragon King Ring also began to flicker with red light.
The head of Shadow Gate was not there.
Manager Bread and Leland Will left in charge were killed.
This place was just a solitary city.
But suddenly, something seemed to slip from Leland Will’s embrace.
It looked like...
A letter!
During the fierce battle just now, Sword Qi had already left Leland Will’s clothes tattered.
At this moment, part of the letter peeked out.
Julius Reed leaned over, snatched it up, and slowly unfolded it.
Fortunately!
The letter wasn’t damaged.
’Micah Mercer, when Pendleton first arose, Seven Veins united with one heart, supporting the Alliance Hierarch together. But as time went on, human hearts are unpredictable. The Seven Veins disintegrated, and even Bead Pulse has defected to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, becoming the biggest traitor! Over the centuries, only Tyler Thomas and Micah Will, have guarded the Alliance Hierarch, aiming to overthrow the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, fulfilling the heart’s desire of our ancestors! Now that I have acquired the Divine Dragon Tripod, I sincerely invite Micah Will to come, so we can discuss our plans together.’
Signed,
Tyler Thomas.
Tyler Thomas...
Julius Reed kept repeating this name.
Tyler!
Apparently, one of the original Pendleton Seven Veins!
Tyler Thomas?
But who is this Alliance Hierarch?
Sincerely inviting Micah Will?
Could it be!
That the head of Shadow Gate is Tyler Thomas?
Tyler had even infiltrated the Seven Clouds Academy, becoming the leader of his special operations team?
Thinking of this, Julius Reed quickly stood up and walked inside.
Since the old man had a letter on him, then Manager Bread surely had another letter!
He entered a narrow room.
The light bulb had already been shattered by the Sword Qi.
Julius Reed groped in the dark, approaching the old man’s corpse, unceasingly searching.
Indeed!
There was an envelope!
It was hard, seeming to also have a layer of cardboard!
He took out the cardboard and walked outside the room.
The pathways of Shadow Gate had many lights.
Within the broad training ground, there were lamplights.
Using the light, he unfolded the cardboard.
Or rather, something like an ancient memorial.
Inside, there were two letters.
The first letter, similar to the one on Leland Will, only the address was changed from ’Micah Mercer’ to ’Alliance Hierarch.’
And the second letter!
It was unopened!
On it was written, ’From Tyler Thomas, personally.’
Julius Reed tore open the envelope and took out a yellow piece of paper.
"All under Pendleton, all originate from the source."
Eight golden characters were elegantly written at the front.
"Tyler Thomas, once Devlin is executed, immediately bring the Divine Dragon Tripod to me. With this tripod, I can kill the Saint Lord! As for the Seven Veins, once I have eliminated the Saint, I shall eradicate those who betrayed Pendleton! And you, shall share the world with me!"
Signed, Andrew!
"The Pendleton Alliance?" Julius Reed strained to recall about Pendleton, apparently only remembering just a bit.
It all came from Granny Xihua and the previous Sealing Pulse Vein Holder.
But suddenly.
An alarm blared in the front courtyard of Shadow Gate!
