Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: Old Friends Meet
Divine Dragon Tripod!
Devlin had seen it.
Of course, he had seen a picture.
It was Isabella Warm who showed him the picture.
Granny Xihua had also seen it.
She and Devlin were the two most capable people in Bead Pulse.
But now, there were three.
Because under Isabella Warm, there was an addition of an Eagle.
Eagle Vein Vein Holder.
A Vein Holder cultivated by Isabella Warm over a decade.
The Seven Veins were equal, restraining each other.
Pendleton’s original intention was to hope that everyone would work together to guard a secret and jointly overthrow the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
But in the end, it still couldn’t escape human nature.
Before the great task was accomplished, the Seven Veins fell apart.
They slaughtered each other, attempting to discover the secret from each other’s mouths. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
This secret, originally was a method conceived by seven ambitious heroes at the founding of the Seven Veins to bind the alliance together.
In the end, it became the root cause of vendettas.
According to rumors, whoever controlled this secret would gain the most formidable power.
And after hundreds of years of bloodshed, Isabella Warm finally controlled the Eagle Vein!
This matter increased the pressure on Devlin and Granny Xihua immensely.
Otherwise, Devlin, as the strategist of Thunderpeak Hall, wouldn’t be so anxious to sever ties with Granny Xihua.
Looking at the eighteen identical Divine Dragon Tripods in front of him.
Devlin was somewhat bewildered.
He didn’t need to ask; he could guess.
Among these eighteen, no one could tell whether the tripod in their hands was real or fake.
Moreover, there were almost double the number of Divine Dragon Tripods out there that hadn’t been brought back.
A dilemma!
A huge dilemma lay before Devlin.
How should he discern which one was real?
"That... I want to ask you all something."
Devlin stood up, holding the hidden weapon box in his right hand, pacing back and forth in the camp.
"Do these Divine Dragon Tripods have any differences?"
No one spoke.
"Don’t play dead—speak up."
Looking at the eighteen identical Divine Dragon Tripods, Devlin knelt down one by one, picking each up to examine, then putting it down again.
But looking at them, every Divine Dragon Tripod was exactly the same.
Weight, patterns.
And even the feel.
There were no differences.
"Damn! Tyler Thomas! Unexpectedly, you’re still as cunning as ever." Devlin angrily kicked the wall.
He really suspected that there were no real Divine Dragon Tripods here at all.
But he also worried that Tyler Thomas knew this, and had mixed the real Divine Dragon Tripod among them.
Usually confident, Devlin, when facing Tyler Thomas, the current head of Shadow Gate, had considerable apprehensions.
This man was formidable both in intellect and means.
Devlin’s status today was inseparable from the years he knew Tyler Thomas.
In fact, they knew each other before going to the Seven Clouds Academy.
Bead Pulse and Thomas Pulse were originally like fire and water.
But Tyler Thomas didn’t get along with other Vein Holders.
Based on that, Devlin and Tyler Thomas naturally connected.
But everyone knew this cooperation couldn’t last.
In the battle four years ago, Devlin was slightly inferior, not obtaining the Divine Dragon Tripod.
And the victor was Tyler Thomas.
But it took Devlin a full four years to find out!
Back then, he always thought the Divine Dragon Tripod was lost, completely deceived by Tyler Thomas.
Now as he attacked Shadow Gate, he was filled with a tinge of anger and agitation.
The taste of being kept in the dark for four years was truly uncomfortable.
To think he was still planning the entire strategy to kill the Holy Master.
Thinking about how he was frantically busy in Gonzalez City, while Tyler Thomas was in Shadow Gate holding the Divine Dragon Tripod, he couldn’t help but explode with rage.
"Speak!"
Thinking of this, Devlin roared, "How can we distinguish them!"
No one spoke.
Swoosh!
The hidden weapon box triggered.
A Shadow Gate member fell to the ground.
One hidden weapon box had claimed a life.
The remaining seventeen people were frantic and continuously begged for mercy.
"Mr. Devlin, we really didn’t know! Please, give us a way to live..."
"The Divine Dragon Tripod is right in front of you, this was given to us by the leader, beyond that, brothers really know nothing else..."
"We are willing to surrender, to serve you..."
Once, the disciples of Shadow Gate who were once glorified, now wailed on their knees like homeless dogs.
"What use do I have for you bunch of trash?"
Swoosh!
Another hidden weapon box.
Only sixteen people remained alive.
"I...I have an idea."
In the crowd, a trembling man raised his hand and spoke, "Since the Divine Dragon Tripod is a medicinal tripod, it surely isn’t afraid of fire. Why not, let’s put it in the fire and see if any flaws appear?"
"Good idea!"
Devlin quite appreciated it, "If it really works, you might not die. And, you can work by my side. I like clever people, because you clearly know when to be clever and when not to be."
He waved at the Cyber members by the door, and the men in black immediately brought over a large fire basin.
The flames were fierce.
Even half a meter away, one could feel the scorching heatwave.
"Throw the Divine Dragon Tripods in front of you into the fire basin."
As soon as Devlin finished speaking, the living ones threw the Divine Dragon Tripods into it.
Two of them even threw their deceased companion’s Divine Dragon Tripods into the fire.
"You did well," Devlin nodded after seeing this.
"Willing to serve Mr. Devlin."
The two hurriedly took the opportunity to show eagerness.
"But, I don’t like those who don’t obey."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two hidden weapon boxes sounded.
The remaining people trembled in fear.
Afraid that saying one wrong word or doing one wrong thing would lead to a death without a burial place.
"Divine Dragon Tripod, you really made me work hard to find you."
Devlin squatted by the fire basin, his eyes fixed on the Divine Dragon Tripods being scorched by the fierce fire.
Suddenly, he sniffed.
"Run!"
The next moment.
Devlin sprinted out!
Boom!
Front foot.
He had just leaped out.
Then an explosion sounded behind him.
And what was even more deadly was still to come!
"Devlin you old thief, die!"
The man who had just suggested throwing the Divine Dragon Tripods into the fire suddenly picked up a Longsword, charging directly at him!
When Devlin saw the man’s face, his expression drastically changed!
"Tyler Thomas!"
He quickly reached into his chest and pulled out two hidden weapon boxes.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The darts shot out, striking the Longsword in front of Tyler.
Although they didn’t injure him, they bought some time.
Taking advantage of this moment, Devlin flipped to his feet.
In his hand, he raised the small hidden weapon box.
Behind him, Cyber members heard the noise and approached.
"Big brother, you can’t beat me," Devlin looked at his former elder brother and sneered, "See this group of iron machines behind me? Grandmasters, they have killed! You are skilled, but you are far less than the Grandmaster they killed."
What kind of man was a Sword Dao Grandmaster?
A true Sword Dao Grandmaster!
Yet, he still died under the onslaught of Cyber members.
"Go! We need him alive!"
Devlin gestured with his hand, then stepped back.
