According to the rules of the Gilded Sect, after a noble saint ascended to heaven, there was no vigil held.
A person would look after the deceased’s body, and the cremation would be done at a chosen time. After the cremation, relics were produced and used for worship.
Zansam hadn’t slept for the past two days, feeling immense pressure for choosing Karmic. He had thought favonovel.com had discovered the true living Bodda, but everything had felt off.
Then, the Grand Abbot was dead, and chaos erupted. Amidst it all, Zansam chose to stand by Isaac. Fortunately, his gamble paid off.
Zansam was exhausted. After returning to his meditation room, favonovel.com quickly fell asleep.
A black-clad figure silently approached Zansam’s room, taking a small wooden reed from his pocket. He then inserted the reed through the door crack. Then, from another pocket, the man in black produced a tiny jar with a stopper that perfectly sealed the end of the wooden reed.
Blue smoke seeped into the room through the reed, and the man patiently waited outside.
After about ten minutes, the man took a key from his pocket and unlocked the door easily. The door opened quietly.
Zansam was lying still on the wooden bed. The man held his breath, raised a dagger, and suddenly dashed toward Zansam on the bed.
Just as the dagger was about to strike, Zansam suddenly opened his eyes wide. His hand wrapped around the dagger, grabbing the man’s arm, while his other hand slapped the man’s chest.
The man never expected that Zansam hadn’t been knocked out by the sleeping gas.
Caught off guard, Zansam landed a palm strike squarely on the man’s chest.
The sound of breaking ribs echoed as the man’s wrist was broken. The man’s daggerthen sliced across Zansam’s left arm.
Zansam let go to dodge, and the man swiftly turned and rushed out of the room. Zansam didn’t pursue the man but quickly sat up. He opened the window on the left, letting the night breeze in.
After calming down, favonovel.com immediately put on his outer robe and left the room.
The door of Isaac’s room was urgently knocked, waking favonovel.com up.
Isaac quickly sat up, got out of bed, and opened the door. Looking up, favonovel.com saw Zansam standing at the doorway.
“Mr. Garten, you were right. Someone did try to assassinate me,” said Zansam.
“Where is he?”
“He used sleeping gas. I didn’t dare to chase him,” Zansam said as favonovel.com entered the room.
At that moment, the door of the opposite room also opened.
Mizar, veiled, asked curiously, “Mr. Zansam, why are you here so late?”
Hearing that Zansam had almost been assassinated, Mizar went straight into the room.
“He took one of your punches and managed to escape quickly. This person is quite strong!” Mizar said with a cold tone after hearing the details.
Zansam nodded, saying, “Within Carmine Temple, only the three chief abbots and five heads could escape my attack. Mr. Garten, who do you think it is?”
Isaac blew a smoke ring and said with a smile, “I’m still not sure. But we should hear the news soon.”
“News?” Both Mizar and Zansam were puzzled.
“Wait and see. You’ll know it before dawn,” Isaac said, sitting in a chair.
After about an hour, footsteps were heard outside. The door opened, and Harry rushed in, panting.
“Sir, we got them. Five baldies.”
“Where are they?” Isaac said in a cold tone.
