The crackling sound of the fire…Late at night.The sound of the bonfire was heard as the dark green fire burned brightly. It was very much like the sound of popping popcorns.Gerald was sitting beside the fire. As he added firewood to the fire, he looked up to survey the surrounding dense green forest.In the dark night, the dense forest seemed to be even eerier.And in the cold forest, even Gerald, who was a Chakra King, had to keep himself warm with fire.He was no longer on the surface of Earth, but he had gone to Jaellatra.His wedding with Mila was already an occasion from nearly a month ago.Although Gerald had gotten the Crawford family and Sacrasolis Palace settled down and was finally married to Mila, he did not feel relieved at all.This was because he could never know when such wonderful and warm moments would be gone again with the Quantock family preying on them all the time and the Quartermain family always ready to launch an attack.Gerald did not have the str
Gerald glanced at them from sideways. It seemed as though their power was not to be underestimated.Swish! Swash! Swoosh!Three silver kunai were thrown out and hit the tree.On each of the silver kunai, there were carvings of seven skulls, making them look rather creepy.The three robbers froze, and their faces showed great horror immediately after.“What? It’s actually the Seven Deadly Lords of the Earth Capital!”Right after they realized who they were, the three robbers immediately knelt and kowtowed to them.“Seven Lords, we did not know you would be coming here. We’re very sorry to have disturbed you. We shall leave right away and disappear seven miles away!”They bowed to the Seven Deadly Lords. Not waiting for the reply from the Lords, they disappeared with lightning speed after casting a hateful look at Gerald.On the other hand, Gerald simply ignored them.After glancing at them, he lowered his head and continued eating.Those few people glanced at Gerald coldly wi
“Fiancé?”Of course Gerald knew what the lady called Nori Zahn was trying to play.At the same time, he was annoyed by her words.Perhaps she didn’t realize what troubles her words would bring him.Because now, Zarek and his gang were already looking at him differently.“Fiancé? How interesting. Hey kid, which family in Earth Capital do you come from?”Zarek laughed coldly.As for Nori, she bit her lips and ran to hide behind Gerald immediately.In truth, it could be easily seen that she was a very strong-willed girl. She would only do this now because she had no other choice.Still, the only thing that she could not be sure of was whether this young man could win against the Seven Deadly Lords and the Mackowskis. Anyhow, she would not let a single chance of survival slip through her hands.“I’ll depend on you now!”Nori looked at Gerald and whispered to herself.But out of her expectation, Gerald smiled helplessly at her.“I don’t belong to any family. Besides, I am not t
“I’m asking you a question. Answer me!” said Gerald.“That’s right. The map that shows the mechanisms of the traps in Underworld Valley is the key to find the Primocorose. But the thing is, I snatched it from the Zahn family. So now, it belongs to the Mackowski family. Brother, don’t tell me you haven’t heard about my family?”Now that Zaker knew that he was no match for him and had no idea where the Seven Deadly Lords were, he could only act submissively.“No wonder the fog was so thick every time I went to Underworld Valley following the map. Looks like I guessed it correctly. There are indeed special traps in the valley.”Gerald finally found an answer to his question, and his eyes immediately lit up.“You said that the map is with you, right?”Gerald said excitedly.“That’s right. Brother, you are indeed quite powerful. However, you will know how powerful the Mackowski family is by simply asking anyone. I can forgive you for your impoliteness toward me today, but I will advi
“Zaker!”Moments later, Yusef Mackowski arrived with his men.As soon as he saw his son, who was dying, he was devastated.The Zahn and Mackowski families had ruled the entire Earth Capital for many years.Eventually, the Mackowski had become the dominant family in Earth Capital.Yet, unexpectedly, their only son, Zaker Mackoski, who was regarded by Yusef as the future heir of the Mackowski family, had actually suffered such a serious injury.“Were you the ones who harmed Young Master?!”Yusef was now full of malicious intent. He was glaring at them and releasing a strong aura from his body.The aura was enough to make the Seven Deadly Lords shiver and fall to the ground.A Nine-rank Chakra King was simply too horrifying.How could they withstand his strong aura?“No, Master! Young Master was hurt by the daughter of the Zahn family and a young man she conspired with. Besides, the young man snatched away the map of Underworld Valley. We tried to attack him, but he used Young
Yusef Makowski was the leader of the Mackowski family in Earth Capital. He was also a Nine-rank Chakra King. Hence, he had divine power.“Gerald, what should we do now?! He came too quickly. Moreover, his cultivation level is extremely high!”Nori grabbed Gerald’s arm desperately.Gerald had clearly underestimated the ability of a Nine-rank Chakra King.In truth, his divine eye had already sensed him earlier on. He should have left immediately at that time.He was a Nine-rank Chakra King after all. His speed could not be judged using the standards of any common cultivators. Right now, Gerald was working out the best plan in his heart quickly.After experiencing the first attack, Gerald could distinctly feel the gap between his and Yusef’s strength. If he was to fight with him head-on, he would be as good as dead.His opponent was in the ninth rank, a rank that even he, who owned the Herculean Primordial Spirit, found very hard to achieve.“Hey, kid. You are quite impressive.
By the time Yusef wanted to react to what he had seen, it was already too late.The light was too difficult to block as it had come very suddenly.The light hit his eyes directly, and he stumbled a few steps backward. His head spun crazily, and he fell to the ground.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gerald ran, taking Nori along with him.“B*stard, how dare you play dirty tricks on me! Today, I, Yusef Mackowski, will break you into pieces!”Yusef’s spiritual power was heavily damaged. Now, he was looking at Gerald's back who was running away in the opposite direction unwillingly, but he could only gnash his teeth with hatred.Gerald did not dare to delay any longer.He knew that his power was too weak. Even with the help of his divine eye, he could only hold Yusef off temporarily. Now, hiding was no longer possible.The only thing he could do was to rely on the map and get into Underworld Valley. Using the traps to their advantage, they could somehow block Yusef from getti
A loud bang was heard, and Gerald’s sword hit a big stone behind it, smashing it into ashes.Bang!The next moment, a puff of white smoke came out from the coffin.It was as if the lid of the coffin was transformed into a divine arrow, and it flew toward Gerald.Slap!Gerald blocked it with his palm.Once the battle started, Gerald was appalled.A strong force appeared, and it dragged Gerald a few ten meters backward.“Gerald, are you alright?”Nori asked quickly in concern.Honestly, although Nori was using Gerald as a means to survive, she was sincerely worried about him when she saw him get injured.After all, it was not the first time Gerald had saved her.If it wasn’t for him, she would already be dead.“This thing is so powerful! It’s just another Yusef Mackowski!”Blue veins bulged on Gerald’s arm, and he could feel a tingling sensation in his arm.Meanwhile, white smoke was still coming out from the coffin.Then, they saw a pair of ancient official boots slowly
