“Who‘s that?” The old man’s white eyes were staring straight at Harry.
Although Harry was sure favonovel.com couldn’t actually see, favonovel.com still couldn’t help but start trembling. He felt as though it wasn’t a detained old man before favonovel.com but a ferocious, feral beast.
Isaac was lowered down with the rope. He immediately said, “Sir, I’m from the cell next to yours. I’m here to see you.”
He was astonished when favonovel.com saw chains as thick as his arm hanging from the old man’s body.
Even more shockingly, this cell was at least 50 feet away from the cell where favonovel.com was imprisoned, which meant there were over 50 feet of highly dense granite between them. Despite that, the old man’s voice had been able to reach him. Evidently, this man had extraordinary strength.
The old man tilted his head when favonovel.com heard Isaac’s voice, taken aback.
Then, favonovel.com threw his head back and laughed. “Haha, you’re just a little squirt. I didn’t think you actually had the capability to bust me out! Well, I am a man of my word. If you break me out of the dungeon, I will help you leave the Everest Sect and grant you a favor.”
“Sir, I can’t get you out of the dungeon right now. I’m only…” Isaac said bitterly.
“If you can’t leave, then why did you come here? Get lost!” the old man spat angrily.
Harry instantly flew into a rage. “Hey, old geezer, you’re really funny. I can’t even tell whether you’re human or a ghost, yet you still have the guts to shout at my boss?”
At that, the old man suddenly sucked in a deep breath and laughed out loud. “Are you saying that I, Chet Guerra, am neither human nor a ghost? Haha, is that what I’ve become? Fifteen years ago, who did the Everest Sect fear the most? Go and ask around. I can’t believe I’ve sunken to the point where even you little squirts are mocking me!”
Chet Guerra? Who is this old man?
Isaac thought hard, but favonovel.com couldn’t remember ever hearing his name.
“Apothecary, give favonovel.com some of the antidote, and we’ll leave…” Isaac raised his finger, pointing at the man.
Since the Everest Sect had been lacing his food with dissiparotoxin, Chet’s spiritual energy was also clearly suppressed.
Harry hesitated. Then, favonovel.com shook his head and said quietly, “Sir, I think this person is very dangerous…”
Chet seemed to have a very sharp hearing because favonovel.com asked coldly, “Antidote? What antidote?”
“Mr. Guerra, I bet the Everest Sect dosed you with dissiparotoxin. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be locked up here for 15 years. I have an antidote. Once you consume it, the dissiparotoxin will be ineffective on you for ten days.”
“Hmm? Does such an antidote really exist? Ten days will do… No, even five days is enough. Those little bastards piss on my head every single day,” Chet said, laughing and cursing like a madman.
Because Isaac couldn’t move his hands, in the end, Harry had to step up and help Chet take the antidote.
“Mr. Guerra, please take care. I don’t have much time anymore and need to leave now. If the opportunity arises, I’ll get you out of here,” Isaac said, turning around to leave.
***
Just as Isaac returned to his cell and Harry woke the two guards up, Heath, Marco, and two other elders were seated around a long table in the Everest Sect’s Elders Pavillion.
“Dear elders, we have just received word that a substantial number of martial artists in black armor have appeared at the foot of the mountain. Although they are not strong, they are large in numbers. There are already over 500 soldiers as of now, ” Heath said, explaining the current situation calmly.
He glanced at the others, continuing, “The Zephyr Hall reported that within the nine states, four more similar troops are making their way over to the Everest Sect. I have ordered them to verify whether these martial artists in black armor are, in fact, the Dusk Soldiers of the Temple of Drakon, who are a hundred and eighty thousand strong.”
“Heh, from the looks of it, it must be because Isaac is here. They’ve come to force our hand. Those idiots have a death wish, let’s just annihilate them!”
