The Story Never Ends

It was already night. In one of the rooms, Davion was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his brows furrowed. He was thinking of many possible scenarios. The Sect Master was acting very odd and looked anxious. Not only that, he could feel that the Sect Master wanted to talk more with him.

"But I don't know why he let me leave after reminding me a few things." He stood up and looked outside the window.

There was the same carriage that they had boarded when coming to this city. Isla slowly carried Hendrix and brought him inside the carriage. Thaddeus was looking at them with a solemn expression.

"Are you guys ready? We should leave now."

"Yes. But where is Junior Brother?" Isla didn't see Davion here.

Thaddeus forced a smile, "I have given him a task which will take him a long time to finish. So, we can't wait for him."

"We might as well keep going."

He entered the carriage after finishing his words. Isla was confused but she didn't question the Sect Master and carried Hendrix into the carriage.

***

"Our hard work finally paid off. We have been keeping an eye on them the whole time. They just entered the carriage."

"They want to leave this city."

"We should go back and report this to the elders."

"Hehe.., we might even get some benefits."

"Let's go back first. Or else we might be late."

They were the ones who were stationed here to spy on the Bone and Devil Sect. So, when they saw that the carriage was about to leave, they immediately left to report to their elder.

But they didn't know that someone just saw them leaving hurriedly from the windows of the inn.

***

The distance between the Lilium City and the Bone and Devil sect was roughly 8 miles. There was a thick forest in between these two places. One had to pass through it if they wanted to reach the Bone and Devil Sect.

In the middle of the night, an ordinary carriage was passing through it. There were three people inside the carriage. Indeed, this was the carriage of the Bone and Devil Sect. Thaddeus was closing his eyes and looked very focused. Isla and Hendrix were resting at the corner.

It looked very quiet, but suddenly Thaddeus opened his eyes.

"Stop." He ordered the boy to stop the carriage.

The city boy immediately stopped the carriage. He then looked behind the carriage and politely asked, "Sir, is there any problem?"

"I will just drop here. You rush back to Lilium City." Thaddeus immediately jumped out of the carriage without waiting for a reply.

Seeing this, the city boy panicked, "Are there some strong bandits ahead? Even a powerful cultivator like him told me to back off."

He immediately turned around the carriage and tried to return back as early as possible.

"Did something happen?" Isla looked very worried thinking how the Sect Master left without saying a word.

"I don't know. But it looks quite serious as he told us to return back." Hendrix spoke after he had just woken up from the noise.

"Eh, you were already awake," Isla exclaimed.

***

In the middle of the forest, a middle-aged man was standing with a saber strapped behind his back. He had his eyes closed and arms folded together. It looked like he was waiting for someone. After a while, he heard some footsteps coming from the front.

"Thaddeus, you have finally come." He smiled and took out the saber from his back.

"Edgar, so it is really you." Thaddeus also smiled back.

"Why are you smiling? Aren't you afraid?" Edgar mocked.

"If it is only you, then I don't need to worry about it." Thaddeus had full confidence in beating Edgar. He was at the middle stage of the Golden Core state while Edgar was still in the early stages. The higher your cultivation is, the larger the gap between the subsequent stages.

"Is that so?" a scornful voice came from behind.

When Thaddeus looked back, he saw that there were three old men wearing gray robes coming from three opposite directions.

Seeing them, Thaddeus's smile immediately vanished. "Your Blood Saber Sect even managed to send out all of your elders."

"Haha, you know how angry I was when your sect managed to beat the Flame Blossom Sect? My whole scheme failed due to this. Not only that, we even had to give up a large number of spirit mines to the other sects to keep silent about it."

"My planning was all perfect until your new disciple managed to foil it. So, I could only think of this way. Thaddeus, you can forget about leaving here alive."

Edgar madly laughed, "I will kill you here and take away your sect's ground by force and nothing can stop us."

"Even your disciples can forget about leaving. Especially that new disciple. Hehe"

"You, leave my disciples out of it." Thaddeus got anxious.. He was about to back away and return back to the carriage but those three elders immediately took out their sabers and blocked his way.
