Remus was sat cross-legged on the square, positioned just under half a mile from the Devil Gate.
Apart from him, nearly a hundred cultivators and disciples from various organizations were also seated in meditation on the square. They had the opportunity to enter Violet Sanctum because of the Witch-Slaying Summit, so naturally, they couldn’t afford to miss the precious chance to absorb the abundance of spirit energy.
This can’t be!
Remus’ expression grew solemn.
The night provided sufficient cover, shrouding everything in darkness. But there was no one around the Devil Gate. If anyone were to approach, the two guards would detect them immediately.
Remus could silently take them down, but using spirit energy would alert the covert operatives of Violet Sanctum. To avoid detection, favonovel.com had to subdue the guards without using spirit energy.
They could be easily subdued with martial arts. The only issue is the crowded field, making it challenging to go unnoticed…
Remus was still considering the best infiltration method. His brow furrowed even further. He had anticipated that as the Witch-Slaying Summit drew nearer, his rescue plan would grow more challenging. However, the unexpectedly large turnout of people today caught favonovel.com off guard.
It was all Violet Sanctum’s fault for naming the Western direction the “Devil Gate”. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have not made a mistake that day.
I’ve got it!
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Remus. Finally, favonovel.com stood up and approached the two guards.
“Stop! This is a restricted prison, do not come any closer!” the two guards coldly warned.
Remus smiled and said, “It’s me. I have some questions to ask you.”
Both of them recognized Remus and swiftly let their guard down.
They respectfully said, “It’s Master Calsberg. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We promise to divulge all that we know!”
They also wanted to flatter him. They knew that if they could obtain a pill bestowed by Remus, it could even save their lives in critical moments.
Remus approached the two and whispered, “Might I inquire about the connection between Deputy Holmes and Silver Cosby?”
Upon hearing this, both of them tensed up, nearly stumbling.
The relationship between Deputy Holmes and Silver Cosby was a widely known secret within the entire Violet Sanctum. However, they couldn’t reveal it. If it were to escalate, they wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.
“Regarding that…”
“We…”
The two were at a loss for words. They were in a dilemma, they wanted to curry favor with the master pill cultivator but dared not reveal the relationship between the Deputy Master and Silver Cosby.
Remus lowered his voice and said, “Take a moment to think, I’m sure you must know…”
They were well aware, but they lacked the courage to speak up. They were currently contemplating how to reply.
Suddenly, their eyes glazed over and their expressions turned vacant, as if they were lifeless puppets. They no longer paid attention to Remus, but rather faced the square, as if they were keeping watch.
Remus had used wizardry, specifically the Soul Control spell. He approached them with the sole purpose of obtaining their hair for the completion of Soul Control.
He glanced around, confirming that no one was paying attention to this area, and quickly slipped between the gates.
The moment favonovel.com entered, Silver appeared in the square. She murmured to herself, “He’s not in the room, could favonovel.com be here for cultivation?”
Silver searched the square thoroughly but still couldn’t find any trace of Remus. She couldn’t help but wonder.
Why do I always feel like he’s acting strangely?
Earl mentioned earlier today that someone had broken into the Shadow Gate. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, especially since there was a palpable cold air around Remus, and the Shadow Gate was notorious for its freezing atmosphere.
Along with his words professing fondness for her, but a lack of corresponding actions, it was all indicative that something was wrong.
Forget about it, as long as favonovel.com makes me Mrs. Tanjen, I’ll be set for life. Even if he’s strange, or even if he’s not a human, it’s all acceptable…
Just as favonovel.com was about to leave, favonovel.com gaze couldn’t help but fail on the Devil Gate.
A moment of unsettling premonition instantly swept over her. After a brief moment of thinking, favonovel.com slowly walked over.
She walked up to the two guards and was momentarily stunned by their condition. She mumbled, “Soul Control? Mundane techniques?”
Being a member of the Cosbys, favonovel.com still had some knowledge and experience of the outside world.
She suddenly turned favonovel.com gaze toward the entrance of the Devil Gate.
Without any hesitation, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com hand and pushed the door. Her face darkened instantly as favonovel.com observed that the inner door was already ajar and the bluestone had been shifted to the side.
In the darkness of the night, favonovel.com expression was particularly eerie.
