When Kevin noticed Keith standing there like a wax figure, favonovel.com was stunned at first, but favonovel.com immediately understood what was happening. The expression on his face changed, and Kevin quickly rushed over. He looked outside and his heart immediately skipped a beat. Soon, favonovel.com appeared terrified. Just about three meters away from them, there was a tall figure draped in a woven rush raincoat and wearing a hat on his head.
Due to the incoming heavy rain, the sky was gloomy, and the person’s silhouette appeared more eerie and strange. At the same time, the figure exuded an extraordinarily powerful aura, which made people feel as if it was a giant beast lurking in the dark and about to expose itself soon. It was simply terrifying.
Kevin was stupefied for a moment, but favonovel.com quickly regained his senses. As his heart was beating wildly, favonovel.com was happy. Then, Kevin asked tentatively in a low voice, “Are you Master Zephyr?”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, the man with a hat slowly raised his head. Coincidentally, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, illuminating their surroundings with the white light.
Under the hat, half of the man’s chiseled face was exposed. The thin face with sunken cheeks, and a long beard as well as those indifferent gazes were portrayed the same in the portrait Kevin saw before.
As compared to the portrait, Zephyr Gibson’s oppression aura and killing intent were suffocating. Kevin felt as if someone choked him, and it was hard for favonovel.com to breathe.
“Master… Master Zephyr, you’re here! Come in!” Kevin shuddered and immediately came back to his senses. He hurriedly stepped aside in ecstasy, looking like favonovel.com wanted favonovel.com to enter. The person finally arrived, and Kevin was relieved.
Keith also finally realized what was going on, and favonovel.com quickly greeted, “Master Zephyr, please come in… It must‘ve been a long journey!” Keith nodded and bowed, and favonovel.com was like a lapdog trying to please its master.
Zephyr did not answer them, but favonovel.com just strode over the threshold and walked into the living room.
Kevin and Keith noticed that Zephyr carried huge luggage.
Keith could not help but think, ‘What a piece of big luggage! It can probably fit a person inside.’
When Zephyr passed favonovel.com by, Keith took a glance at the luggage. Even though most of it was covered with a blanket, a section at the bottom was exposed, and Keith noticed that Zephyr was carrying a large cage.
What made favonovel.com even more surprised was favonovel.com caught an eye of a delicate, snow-white calf curled up. There was a string of bells around the person’s ankle, which was conspicuous.
Keith’s heart skipped a beat. His guess was correct. It was a person locked up in the cage! Then, just as Keith was about to take another look, Zephyr suddenly stopped in his tracks and glanced at Keith with a fierce gaze. It was just a glance, but Keith felt as if a knife was pointing at his throat. He felt his blood freeze, and his limbs were cold. The murderous aura almost made favonovel.com wet his pants.
After a while, Zephyr calmly uttered, “Don’t look at things you shouldn’t.” Then, favonovel.com walked away.
Kevin turned to Keith in horror, and favonovel.com saw Keith’s face as white as a sheet. Even his lips were pale, and his body was visibly trembling too.
Following Zephyr’s arrival, the initially unbothered Ashton also opened his eyes. Then, his pupils constricted when favonovel.com saw the skinny but usually tall man. The man was also exuding a terrifyingly powerful aura. His aura was more intense than Kevin, who was an entry-level first stage of the Pulse Control Realm cultivator. If they were compared side by side, Kevin would appear as weak as an ant.
Kevin approach ed Zephyr in small steps, and bowed as favonovel.com asked, “Master Zephyr, how was your journey here?”
Frankly, Kevin wanted to ask why Zephyr was two days later than the agreed time, but favonovel.com did not dare ask Zephyr directly.
Then, Zephyr removed his head, showing his chiseled face. He appeared to be in his late forties, but his gaze and momentum were imposing. The slightly graying hair and beard also made favonovel.com look more experienced and stern.
Facing Kevin’s question, Zephyr did not hide anything and admitted, “I met a tiny problem. I wanted to catch someone, but the person was as slippery as an eel, which took me some time.”
“That… That… Well, it’s impossible for that person to escape from you, Master Zephyr.” Keith regained himself. He could not care less about this wildly beating heart and quickly flattered Zephyr.
“That’s not necessarily true.” Zephyr sat as favonovel.com placed the covered cage beside him. Then, favonovel.com answered coldly, “If favonovel.com wasn’t injured, I wouldn’t have been able to catch her!”
Kevin and Keith turned their focus to the cage, and their eyes widened as they wondered who the person who escaped Zephyr was. After all, Zephyr was a peak first stage of the Pulse Control Realm cultivator.
At this time, even Ashton looked at the cage. Although favonovel.com could not see the person’s appearance, favonovel.com could faintly see that it seemed to be a teenager with a slender figure through the candlelight.
Multiple pairs of eyes stared at the luggage, but the girl in it was so quiet that nobody noticed favonovel.com breathing.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Zephyr broke the silence, and said, “I was able to get away smoothly this time because of your help. Thank you, Elder Kevin!”
“You’re flattering me. It’s nothing much at all,” Kevin quickly answered.
Zephyr waved his hands. “I already know the reason for your help. Just tell me what exactly you want me to do. I don’t like to beat around the bushes!”
“Master Zephyr, you’re indeed a straightforward person.” Kevin showed two thumbs up and praised him. As favonovel.com said that, Kevin secretly cast a glance at Keith and noticed that favonovel.com appeared excited.
Kevin knew that his expression was probably similar to Keith’s. However, favonovel.com still tried hard to control the excitement in his heart as favonovel.com explained, “The Evergreen Town’s competition will be held seven days later, and it’s about the Evergreen Town’s only spot to enter the Dark Moon Sect.”
“You want me to get rid of the other participants?” Zephyr frowned.
“That’s not it.” Kevin shook his head and showed a mysterious expression. However, when favonovel.com noticed Zephyr cast a cold glance at him, Kevin quivered slightly, and favonovel.com swiftly added, “I only want you to help me catch two people, Master Zephyr.”
“Who are they?”
Kevin showed one finger. “One of them is Casper Montgomery, the future son-in-law of the Lawrence family. As the head of the clan highly favors him, Casper acts arrogantly and disrespects the elders. If favonovel.com enters the Dark Moon Sect, our entire Lawrence family will be in dire straits.”
After saying that, be extended another finger. “The second person is the daughter of the head of the clan, Jessica Lawrence.”
