Since the culprit desired Energy Replenishing Pills, Garfield decided to place 100 of them in plain sight to see if the culprit would dare to come for them.
“Fishing?” Lance, Egbert, and Lionel exchanged bewildered glances as the word hung in the air.
What sort of fish could possibly require 100 Energy Replenishing Pills?
Could it be some sort of monstrous creature that lurked in the shadows?
Garfield’s anger burned fiercely as favonovel.com spoke with a fiery intensity, “I never anticipated that someone would have the audacity to take the life of my beloved disciple, Draig. How utterly lawless it is!”
“If I cannot bring the culprit to justice and make them pay for their actions, then my entire existence would be rendered meaningless!”
His teeth were clenched as favonovel.com vented his intense rage.
The three shuddered upon hearing this. They were well aware of Draig’s prowess. He was young, but favonovel.com had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. Draig was among the top four experts and could have been a master of an Organization outside the sacred lands.
Although favonovel.com had lost in last year’s competition, his future was bright.
How could favonovel.com have been killed?
As they pondered, a moment of realization washed over them. They abruptly halted, locking eyes and silently acknowledging their shared intention.
Lance spoke gravely, “I will have someone prepare it right away. May I ask, have you not found the culprit yet, Master Warner?”
Garfield walked into the main hall with a grim face. “He knows his way around and escaped right after the killing. I chased favonovel.com for thousands of miles, but to no avail!”
Lance thought for a moment and said, “Master Warner, I have a suspect who could very likely be the culprit…”
With a swift glance, Garfield’s eyes turned piercingly sharp.
Frightened, Lance quickly lowered his head but continued, “This person is named Remus Calsberg, the Master of the Tanjen Organization. Despite his young age, his strength is unfathomable. Two days ago, favonovel.com alone killed several renowned cultivators in True Life!”
“He killed those ranked second, third all the way to tenth, all by himself! If there’s anyone in the True Life realm capable of killing Draig, it could only be him!”
Egbert added immediately, “Not only that, this young man is extremely arrogant and ruthless. Anyone who offends him, favonovel.com either kills or annihilates their entire organization.”
Lionel sighed and said, “There’s no one who dares to challenge favonovel.com in the current True Life.”
Garfield frowned upon hearing this. He had heard a little about the Tanjen Organization and asked, “What is his cultivation level?”
Lance replied, somewhat awkwardly, “He’s at the late Golden Stage, but favonovel.com has a secret pill. Once favonovel.com consumes it, favonovel.com can easily kill those at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage! He was able to kill all those experts in True Life because favonovel.com consumed that secret pill!”
Garfield’s gaze remained intense as favonovel.com contemplated for a moment, then asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you have a grudge against him, right?”
Lance and the others were taken aback by the question, not quite understanding its implication.
Before they could ponder further, Garfield burst out angrily, “Do you think I’m a fool? You’re still too naive if you think you can use me to kill someone for you! And you dare plot against me!”
“I heard you talking about seeking help from the other sacred lands. I didn’t think much of it, but how dare you be so ungrateful! Go and prepare the pills immediately, or I will destroy the Herbal Pavilion first!”
Garfield simply couldn’t believe that there existed a pill so potent that it allowed a Golden stage cultivator to kill a Nascent Soul Stage expert from True Life, let alone Draig. The sacred lands practiced a higher law and were inherently stronger than the outside world.
The three were terrified, their faces turned deathly pale, and they quickly nodded in agreement. They never expected that instead of getting Master Warner to act on their behalf, they ended up making things worse for themselves.
***
Meanwhile, Remus and the others had arrived at a residence, a simple area with only meditation cushions, surrounded by a small curse.
Zaiden was straight to the point. “Remus, are you willing to join the Shenington sacred land?”
