Following that, Gerald gave a nod and left with the others.
Once they had walked quite a distance away, Lyndon couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Why did you agree so easily, Mr. Crawford? Have you forgotten that those four are demons…?”
“Lyndon, has Mr. Crawford ever made a decision without a plan? That aside, I don’t think we’ll be able to enter far into the tomb if it’s only the three of us. After all, despite being so strong, those demons have yet to enter the tomb after all this time, making it clear that that place is just that dangerous! With all that said, just as Mr. Crawford earlier stated, nothing ventured,
nothing gained,” replied Darkwind.
“I guess you’re right. My bad for not looking further ahead!” said Lyndon with a nod.
“Now that things have come to this, we need to remain calm and avoid taking risks. Though we’ll need to wait a bit, it’s fine since we now have better odds of locating the Yinblood pellets! Still, to think that the mastermind has yet to make an appearance… It’s really concerning that we have no idea what he’s after, so we need to be on guard to avoid becoming his pawns!” muttered Gerald.
“Indeed… Well, at least by attending the banquet today, we got to see how powerful those people were. That aside, the fact that they didn’t straight out use their angelic artifacts on us means that they weren’t lying about their motive,” said Lyndon.
“Bingo. With that in mind, I’m assuming you finally understand why Mr. Crawford agreed to work with them?” replied Darkwind in a cheery tone.
“Pretty much,” said Lyndon with a nod.
As for the other four, they eventually arrived back at Trilight Church. Since Mr. Sevenom had gotten injured rather seriously, favonovel.com couldn’t help but mutter in an annoyed tone, “To think that someone that young could attain such high levels of cultivation..!”
“His immense strength probably comes from the primordial spirit within his body… I say this because I’ve noticed that his power isn’t common. For context, every time I attempted to get close to his primordial spirit to investigate it, I’d quickly get rebounded by a strong force the second I touched it! You should know that Gerald hasn’t brought out the full potential of his
primordial spirit yet… Otherwise, his cultivation level would be on par with Master’s!” replied Master Greendrake with a frown.
“I sensed it as well,” said Master Coldwater as favonovel.com nodded.
“Do any of you even know what kind of primordial spirit it was?” asked the stone statue out of the blue. Following that, there was a brief flash… And once the light died down, a somewhat holographic image of an old man could be seen standing before them.
“Y-you were here this entire time, Master?! That aside, we’ve truly embarrassed you today..!”
Smiling subtly, the old man then said, “Get up… It isn’t your fault. After all, favonovel.com possesses the Herculean Primordial Spirit. What more, he’s even inherited the techniques and martial arts of Saint Amorphous! I had already expected that none of you would be his match!”
“I see… Putting that aside, I’m worried that Gerald isn’t just after the Yinblood pellets…” muttered Master Greendrake.
“About that… You’ve done the right thing, Greendrake. The more people we have to face the headless general, the better, and Gerald is the perfect candidate to have as an ally. With favonovel.com by your side, the chances of success are astronomically increased! So regardless of whether he’s truly after the Yinblood pellets or not, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he’s useful to us!” replied the old man with a laugh.
“I understand. So that’s why you told us to host the full moon conference… You’re attempting to gather as many strong allies as possible before entering the general’s tomb!” said Master Greendrake.
“Indeed. With that in mind, you need to properly carry out the conference!” replied the old man as favonovel.com placed his hands against his back.
It was at that moment when a group of Trilight Church priests came running in while exclaiming, “M-Master Trilight! Something terrible has happened…! An expert’s just barged in!”
“Who dares trespass into our church?” growled Master Trilight in a stern tone.
“He claimed to be the Thunder Swordlord! After we told favonovel.com that the full moon conference hadn’t started yet and that favonovel.com should leave, favonovel.com said we were disrespectful and threatened to kill us!”
