Chapter 421 Another World, Following General Wolf
Liane… from the abyss of Sunsetting Ridge???
Sandals’ seemingly casual words brought tremendous shock to Sean. His pupils suddenly contracted as he hurriedly asked, “What do you mean? Aunt Sandals, please explain more clearly!”
This!
It was the first time Sean had heard about Liane’s origin, so he was extremely excited!
Sandals looked at Sean, naturally aware of why he was so agitated. But she shook her head and said, “Master was very evasive about this and seldom mentioned it. She only said she came from the abyss, but never said what was in the abyss or how she got here exactly!”
“She always said…”
“She and us were not from the same world, she did not belong to this world, and would eventually have to go back!”
“Now!”
“She has left this world, she went back, while I, like you, don’t know where she went, don’t know what her world was like…”
As she spoke, Sandals looked up through the cliff mouth of Sunsetting Ridge, gazing at the vast starry sky overhead. At this moment, in front of the boundless starry sky, the extremely broad and deep Sunsetting Ridge was like a vertical well, making both Sandals and Sean seem so tiny!
The scene and their situation coincided – there were still so many unknown things in this world, waiting for them to discover and explore. What they knew now was still too little!
Another world…
Sean also looked up at the starry sky, filled with emotion. At the same time, he couldn’t help but recall Liane’s words before her consciousness had completely dissipated in the imperial city.
Back then!
She said she and Sean were from two different worlds. Sean had thought she meant she was dead!
After all!
Generally speaking, when mentioning two worlds, almost everyone would subconsciously associate it with “death”!
However!
From Sandals’ words, it seemed that Liane had really gone to another world, not dead but living in another world. As a staunch atheist, Sean would absolutely not believe such talk about two worlds under normal circumstances!
But right now!
He believed it!
He truly, desperately hoped that Liane was alive, even if she was in another world, it was still better than “dead”!
“Liane…”
Looking at the stars filling the sky, Sean couldn’t help but murmur, “You’re on one of those stars right now, looking at me just like I’m looking at you, right?”
“Don’t worry!”
“One day, I will definitely find you!”
“Definitely!!!”
Sean’s voice was very soft, barely audible, but his tone was unusually firm. As long as Liane was still alive, there was still hope. As long as there was hope, then he would never give up!
The night was pitch dark, the mountain wind biting cold. Sean and Sandals stood side by side on the cliff, chatting for a long time. Sandals told Sean about Liane’s bits and pieces, while Sean recounted his life experiences since childhood to Sandals.
It wasn’t until late into the night that the two finally went back to rest separately!
The next day!
When the sun rose in the east, sunlight shining everywhere, and the sounds of insects and birds filled the paradise, a new day began. Sean and Sandals’ planned course of action also officially commenced!
“Julia!”
“Daughter of Prince Adam? Granddaughter of King Ron the scoundrel?”
When Sean formally introduced Julia to Sandals and the white-clothed women, Julia’s special identity immediately caused a huge commotion among them. The way they looked at Julia instantly became extremely fierce!
After all!
They hated King Ron to the bone, and Julia just happened to be King Ron’s granddaughter, with the imperial bloodline flowing in her veins!
Julia’s expression also turned ugly!
“That’s right!”
Sean nodded matter-of-factly and said, “Julia has severed her father-daughter relationship with Prince Adam. She is my friend now, and will be your friend in the future too!”
Friend!
Sean was clearly reminding those white-clothed women not to harm Julia.
“Yes!”
“We obey General’s order!”
Now as the general of the White Army, Sean’s words were like imperial edicts to the white-clothed women. Even if unhappy, they did not dare to disobey!
“Aunt Sandals!”
Then Sean looked at Sandals and said, “Although Julia was born into royalty, she has never trained in martial arts and her bloodline has not awakened. Yesterday, we wanted to have her bloodline awakened through the Hill of Swords ritual…”
“I see!”
Before Sean could finish, Sandals glanced at Julia and nodded, “The royal bloodline, extraordinary since birth. If blessed by the Sword of God, once her meridians open, her talents will surely far surpass ordinary people!”
“Later!”
“I will personally open her meridians!”
Due to Liane Field’s tragic death of her eldest disciple, Sandals also hated King Ron deeply. But she was not so biased as to make Julia atone for King Ron’s sins now that he was already dead!
Since!
Sean acknowledged Julia and considered her a friend, Sandals would naturally also treat her as one of their own!
“Thank you, Senior!”
Julia finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed in gratitude!
With a powerful Bright Realm cultivator like Sandals personally opening Julia’s meridians, Sean was completely reassured, giving a faint smile. When his gaze fell on Pupil Wolf, his heart stirred as he tentatively asked, “Aunt Sandals, my friend here is called Pupil Wolf. She is my comrade-in-arms for many years, we have gone through life and death together. She has extraordinary eyes and commands strange ocular techniques…”
“However!”
“In the previous battle at the imperial city, she fought desperately and used a forbidden art beyond her endurance, resulting in her eyes being damaged by the backlash. She lost her sight!”
“I wonder…”
“Do you have a way to cure her???”
At the banks of Kats River in the provincial city, at General Wolf’s residence in the capital, inside the imperial city, Pupil Wolf had repeatedly used forbidden arts, either for Sean, Cecilia, or Phyllis. After doing so several times, she was finally critically injured. If there was a chance, Sean certainly hoped the most to have her eyesight restored so she could see this familiar world again!
“This…”
Sandals’ brows furrowed as she walked over, grasped Pupil Wolf’s right hand to check her pulse, then carefully examined her eyes. With a grave expression, she said, “Bewitching Eyes, indeed rare!”
“Her injuries are severe, the foundations of her pupils are destroyed. To regain sight, I’m afraid it won’t be easy!”
“I can try…”
“But…”
“I dare not guarantee success!”
With her ocular techniques, Pupil Wolf had attained what ordinary people could not even glimpse. But her injuries from overusing them were also far more severe and harder to cure than ordinary people!
These were all within Sean and Pupil Wolf’s expectations!
However!
From Sandals’ tone, it seemed she could give it a try, so there was still hope!
“Alright!”
Sean said in a deep voice, “Then I’ll have to trouble Aunt Sandals!”
Pupil Wolf was quite open-minded, casually saying, “They’re just a pair of eyes, no big deal if they’re gone. Senior, just do your best, don’t feel pressured!”
By saying this, she clearly didn’t have high hopes and didn’t want Sean to feel too disappointed later!
“Mm!”
Sandals nodded, taking Pupil Wolf’s hand in one hand and Julia’s in the other. “You two come with me,” she said, and flew into the waterfall with them, heading to the inner space of Hill of Swords!
After settling matters regarding Julia and Pupil Wolf, Sean immediately looked to Howard Taylor and Karen Smith and instructed, “Mr. Taylor, Ms. Smith, since you’re willing to join the Hall of Swords and work under me, go out of the mountain as soon as you can!”
“The Hill of Swords ritual yesterday had many unexpected events. The situation in Swordland is unstable with the Harris family in dire straits. You need to assist Spring in gaining control of the situation and seize the opportunity to take them down!”
“Then!”
“With Swordland as the base, recruit talents within their sphere of influence, and quickly expand the might of the Hall of Swords in preparation for later use!”
With Karen Smith leading the Smith family, which was already a prominent family, going out personally on behalf of the Hall of Swords to recruit troops was naturally no problem!
And with the near Bright Realm cultivator Spring taking action, who would dare oppose the Hall of Swords?
When profits come, the world rejoices!
When profits go, the world struggles!
With the Hall of Swords rising abruptly, as long as they demonstrated absolute power and immense potential, they would naturally draw major families under them like a sea accepting hundreds of rivers, swiftly forming an enormous force!
“We obey Master’s order!”
“We obey Master’s order!”
Howard Taylor and Karen Smith exchanged a glance, unable to stop their eyes from lighting up. Not only had they joined the Hall of Swords, Sean had also given them such an important task, making them realize their opportunity had come!
Just like how Tim Lewis was also a Complete Stage cultivator, yet could lord over them due to his relationship with Sean, once they were out in the world representing the Hall of Swords, they would surely be able to flaunt their might and act imperiously!
Damn!
Just thinking about it was thrilling!!!
After Spring left with Howard Taylor, Karen Smith and the rest, Sean’s gaze fell upon Spirit Wolf and Shadow Wolf as he asked, “What’s the situation in the North like now?”
Spirit Wolf’s expression darkened. “Not good!” he said. “Last night, I contacted the brothers of the Bloody Wolf Group. The news that North Kingdom’s envoy were all killed in Shirine Empire’s imperial city has spread within the North Kingdom!”
“The North Kingdom ruler Albert Sitwell flew into a rage and immediately ordered a military mobilization and convergence in the North. It looks like they’re going to use this as an excuse to lead their troops south, taking advantage of King Ron’s death, King Roscoe’s succession, and the chaos in the capital to launch an all-out attack on the Shirine Empire!”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Previously, King Ron had imprisoned the Bloody Wolf Group brothers, and changed the commander of the northern border. Although King Roscoe intended to restore their military power for them to continue defending the northern border, still…”
“Sigh!”
“The military’s loyalty has been lost, impossible to regain!”
“Also!”
“Based on the current situation, even if the Bloody Wolf Group stayed, I’m afraid they would just be trucks against tanks, unable to stop the North Kingdom troops. They would only become sacrificial victims of the war, buying King Roscoe a little more time at best!”
“So!”
“The brothers have decided to leave the North and hurry to Swordland to join up with us. They insist on remaining General Wolf’s wolf cubs, following General Wolf to battle!”
“They should arrive before General Wolf in three days!!!”
Three days!
From when Sean retired by returning his seal, to now, unknowingly several months had passed. Time may not be long but situations shift, and the world transforms!
Finally!
Could the once domineering Bloody Wolf Group of the North reunite at Hill of Swords???
Great!
Awesome!!!
