Regardless, the old man eventually said, “Now that I’ve granted you this power, make sure to obediently stay with Greendrake!”
“Of course, senior!” replied Ryder with a nod.

Naturally, Gerald had no idea that his old friend who had been in hiding all this time was now this close to him. Regardless, after returning to Marcel’s manor, something odd happened once night fell. Right across the manor, was a luxurious mountain villa that went by the name of Ventiluna Manor. Though it was usually empty, tonight, it was brightly lit and crowded with guests.
“You know, the mega manor across the street belongs to the Zandts… However, the place is rarely used, and it’s never even been opened to the public before… I really can’t fathom why there are so many guests there today…” muttered Marcel.
“I found out about that a while back, which is why I sent Lyndon over to investigate. He should be back any minute now…” replied Gerald who had a feeling that these people were here for the upcoming full moon conference.
After all, the second they arrived, Gerald could already tell that they were all cultivation experts through his divine sense.
His train of thought was cut short when favonovel.com heard Darkwind yell, “Lyndon’s back!”
“After eavesdropping for a bit, I found that those people as you predicted are cultivators from the four gates and three sects. That aside, an ‘eldest young mistress’ from a mysterious corporation is apparently present as well,” explained Lyndon.
“The four gates and three sects…?” replied Gerald with a slight frown.
“You couldn’t be referring to the Heaven Spirit Gate, the Earth Lord Gate, the Black Sword Gate, and the Gold River Gate, right…? Along with the Mount Haus Sect, the Mount Hoch Sect, and the Mount Taivas Sect…?” asked Darkwind as his expression turned serious.
“They’re the ones,” replied Lyndon with a nod.
“You know them, Darkwind?” asked Gerald.
“Indeed… They were the seven largest cultivation forces in Weston, and together, they’re known as the four gates and three sects. I say ‘were’ since they’ve vanished for the longest time and had zero signs of being active within the secular world for over a thousand years… To think that Master Greendrake was able to invite them over… This alone tells us that the mastermind behind all this is extremely powerful!” explained the frowning Darkwind.
“What exactly is their cultivation level?” asked Gerald.
“A thousand years ago? I’d say about Ryder and his level. I’m afraid I can’t tell what their current cultivation levels are!” muttered Darkwind as favonovel.com shook his head.
“I know even less since I was imprisoned for ages… That aside, when I was spying on them, I saw all the advanced solitary cultivators as well as the elders of the gates and sects being very respectful toward a young mistress from some corporation. She even seems to be more superior than Master Greendrake. I wonder if she’s from the Dark Moon Biological Group…” said
Lyndon as favonovel.com recalled what had happened back while favonovel.com was eavesdropping.
