Chapter 3668 - 3670 Demonia Dragon Ginseng
The Demon Seal Alliance was indeed the largest alliance organization in the entire Ethereal Realm. Within the Demon Seal Alliance, there were countless experts. Since the Demon Seal Alliance had issued a century-old Decree of Execution, it was clear that John was definitely not a simple character. They must have been delusional to dare plot the murder of John and seize the century-long tribute of the Demon Seal Alliance. Now, not only would they not obtain the hundred-year tribute of the Demon Seal Alliance, but their lives were also hanging by a thread.
Marcus suddenly pointed at Stephen and exclaimed, “W-We were also deceived! It wasn’t us who wanted to kill you! It was him! It was him who wanted you dead
It seemed he intended to divert John’s murderous intent onto Stephen, in order to let them off the hook. Stephen was taken aback, staring incredulously at Marcus. He could never have imagined that he would be betrayed by Marcus.
Stephen also became anxious, glaring as he exclaimed, “What are you blabbering about? It was clearly you who coveted the century-long offerings of the Demon Seal Alliance, so why are you pushing the blame onto me?”
“Enough with the quarreling! You’re all destined to die anyway!” After John finished speaking, the flame in his hand suddenly transformed into a sea of fire, instantly surrounding Marcus and the others.
“Ah!...” A chilling scream rang out.
Although Marcus and the others were all Demonic Cultivators from the Inferno Devil lineage, and should theoretically not fear demonic fire, they simply couldn’t withstand John’s flames.
Swiftly, Marcus and the others fell to the ground, lifeless.
John, on the other hand, suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled sharply. Three clusters of death energy flew out from the bodies of Marcus and the others, entering John’s body. Following this, John turned his gaze toward Stephen, his eyes cold and ruthless. John’s stare was like a bunch of steel knives, piercing deeply into Stephen’s heart.
Stephen was terrified, even the black water dragon he had summoned dissipated into a cloud of black mist and drifted away in an instant. Marcus and the others were no match for John, so he couldn’t possibly stand a chance against John himself. Stephen’s mind was spinning rapidly as he needed to think of a way to survive.
“D-Don’t kill me! I have a considerable amount of precious mystical herbs on me, as well as various other resources. I can give them all to you!” he pleaded as he continuously pulled out various types of mystical herbs from his item pouch.
Deep within the desolate, uninhabited reaches of Demonia Mountain, the environment was extremely harsh. Yet, it was here that many mystical herbs thrived, surviving for many years. If no one were to pick them, these mystical herbs would continue to grow indefinitely. The older the mystical herb, the higher its value.
John watched as Stephen brought out those mystical herbs, and without any hesitation, he stored them in his own Storage Ring.
Upon seeing John accept his gift, Stephen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Now that I’ve given you everything, I’ll be taking my leave…” Having said that, Stephen slowly stepped back, intending to turn around and leave.
“Did I allow you to leave?” John asked coldly.
Stephen’s body shuddered as he said with a mournful expression, “I-I’ve given you everything. If you feel it’s not enough, I can return to the mansion and bring you another batch.”
“It seems like there’s still something you haven’t taken out, isn’t there?” John asked.
“I have nothing left on me…” Before Stephen could finish speaking, he suddenly froze. It seemed as if he understood what John was talking about. John was certainly referring to the Demonia Dragon Ginseng. This Demonia Dragon Ginseng was indeed a precious item, which Stephen was reluctant to part with. But given the current situation, he was left with no choice.
Stephen slowly reached into his robe. Subsequently, he pulled out the Demonia Dragon Ginseng. “This is the Demonia Dragon Ginseng. With this, your strength can advance by leaps and bounds.” After saying this, Stephen handed over the Demonia Dragon Ginseng.
John took the Demonia Dragon Ginseng, and without even a glance, he tossed it into his Storage Ring.
“All right; now you can die.” After John finished speaking, suddenly a flash of light streaked by.
“You……..” Stephen was greatly shocked, but before he could utter a word, his head was instantly sent flying. Immediately following, a wisp of death energy emerged from the severed neck, which John promptly inhaled into his
“Mr. White wouldn’t be in danger, would he?” Tessa, who had already left, was extremely worried about John.
“Let’s stop here. We’ll wait and see. If Mr. White can’t catch up, we’ll go back and check.” Stanlee waved his hand, causing everyone to halt. After all, John was his lifesaver. If he were to stand by idly while John was in danger, if he were to turn a blind eye to a life in peril, Stanlee would never find peace for the rest of his life.
Upon seeing his master preparing to go back and save John, Trent quickly said, “Mr. Stark, we should leave now. Even if we return at this moment, I suspect Mr. White has already been captured or killed.”
“Mr. Stark, Tessa, you need not worry. Mr. White will be fine. A few mere Sixth Level Tribulators are no match for Mr. White. Moreover, I discovered that those few Demonic Cultivators are all from the Inferno Devil lineage, which means they pose even less of a threat to Mr. White.”
Fitz, on the other hand, was not at all worried about John. He even comforted both Stanlee and Tessa. Moreover, Fitz openly called out to Tessa, displaying an extreme closeness with her. This made Trent, who was standing aside, grind his teeth in frustration.
“Fitz, why are you so confident in Mr. White? After all, Mr. White is only a Second Level Tribulator. Even if he is exceptionally talented and capable of fighting above his level, wouldn’t he still face danger when confronted with several Sixth Level Tribulators?” Tessa asked.
“I had been with Mr. White for quite some time, and his true strength was beyond anyone’s imagination. Even if Mr. White couldn’t defeat those few Demonic Cultivators, he would still manage to resolve the crisis,”
Fitz said with a faint smile, but soon after, he fell into slight contemplation as he continued, “However, how did Stephen and the others manage to discover Mr. White’s identity? Logically speaking, since Mr. White had altered his appearance and concealed his aura, he shouldn’t have been discovered. Also, it seemed that Stephen and his companions hadn’t recognized Mr. White the first time they met. However, by the second encounter, they had clearly set a trap, waiting for Mr. White to fall into it. It’s truly strange…” After Fitz finished speaking, he shifted his gaze toward Trent.
Tessa analyzed and asked, “Could it be that Stephen and his companions had identified Mr. White’s identity the first time they met, but merely pretended to be unaware? Then, they intentionally left, ran ahead to set up a trap, waiting for Mr. White to walk right into it?”
After all, she couldn’t possibly suspect Trent as they had known each other for so many years. Besides, Trent had no reason to betray John. Originally, Trent was thinking of finding some excuse to exonerate himself, but since Tessa had already said that, he decided to go along with her words.
“Indeed, Tessa’s analysis is correct. It’s certain that Stephen and the others had discovered it long ago, they were just pretending not to know.”
“Let’s not worry about how Stephen discovered Mr. White’s identity for now. The pressing matter is whether Mr. White can escape.” Stanlee’s brow furrowed slightly, his gaze constantly returning to the direction from which they had come. He dearly hoped for John to suddenly appear, safe and sound.
“Mr. Stark, I apologize for causing you worry. I truly am sorry…” Just as Stanlee had finished speaking, the figure of John suddenly appeared before them. He appeared as if out of thin air. This was when John demonstrated Blazing Stride. Although he couldn’t yet traverse hundreds of miles in a single step, he was capable of stepping out and instantaneously appearing several miles away.
Upon seeing John, Stanlee asked with great excitement, “Are you all right, Mr. White?”
“I’m fine. The mere idea that a few Demonic Cultivators could kill me and claim a reward from the Demon Seal Alliance is simply laughable.”
John gave a faint smile, then pulled out the Demonia Dragon Ginseng as he continued, “Not only am I unharmed, but I’ve also retrieved the Demonia Dragon Ginseng that Stephen swindled from you. Now, it’s time to return it to its rightful owner.”
Although John knew that the Demonia Dragon Ginseng was a valuable item, he also knew that it was obtained by the Soul Demon Sect at the cost of the lives of more than a dozen disciples. As such, he couldn’t possibly keep it for himself.
“Mr. White, since you’ve brought back this Demonia Dragon Ginseng, you might as well keep it. It’s of no use to us anyway.” Stanlee made no move to take the Demonia Dragon Ginseng.
“Mr. Stark, this Demonia Dragon Ginseng was obtained at the cost of the lives of Soul Demon Sect’s disciples, so you should take it back,” John countered.
“Mr. White, you saved my life, and that debt of gratitude is incomparable to a mere Demonia Dragon Ginseng. Please keep it for yourself!” Stanlee declined.
Upon seeing that, John chose not to say anything further and put the Demonia Dragon Ginseng away. At that moment, Trent was extremely nervous at the sight of the unscathed John. He had no idea what Stephen and the others might have said to the latter. If word got out about his betrayal, he would be doomed. He wouldn’t be able to stay at Soul Demon Sect anymore. Moreover, considering the temperament of his mentor, there was a good chance that he might even lose his life.
“Mr. White, d-didn’t Dr. Livingstone and the others tell you how they discovered your identity?” Trent asked John tentatively.
John glanced at Trent, nodding as he replied, “They did.”
At that answer and John’s gaze fixed firmly on him, a cold sweat instantly broke out on Trent’s forehead.
“What did they say, Mr. White?” Tessa asked. She was also curious to know how Stephen and the others discovered John’s identity. Trent’s heart clenched. His gaze began shifting evasively, and he already started contemplating how he should beg for mercy later.
“Among those demonic cultivators, some had seen me in action before and were familiar with my aura. Thus, they recognized me,” John explained.
“Oh, I see!” Tessa nodded in understanding.
Upon hearing that, Trent felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off him, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
“Mr. White, since everything is in order now, let’s set off immediately. Demonia Sect is just ahead!” Stanlee said.
John gave a slight nod. Then, he patted Trent on the shoulder, saying, “Mr. Fowler, we should get going. You’re not going to have a stomachache again, are you?”
Trent was momentarily taken aback before he awkwardly chuckled and assured, “No, it won’t happen again.”
In reality, John had no idea that his identity was revealed by Trent. However, as he listened to the conversation between Stephen and the others at that time, he began harboring some suspicions deep within.
At Demonia Sect, Nolan sat on the sect leader’s chair, his expression one of utter dejection. If Demonia Sect’s cultivation technique secret scrolls could not be retrieved, Demonia Sect would really have to disband. At that time, the sect that had been established for thousands of years would vanish in the long river of history.
As time passed, countless sects and prestigious families faded into oblivion. However, it was exceedingly rare for a sect to fall because its cultivation technique secret scrolls were sealed away, inaccessible to all. Demonia Sect had made history. Every time Nolan recalled the scene of him offending that elite, he was gripped by the urge to slap himself several times.
“Mr. Zhang, even now, the person who just came has yet to come out after entering the cave. Perhaps this time, we might succeed!” Just then, an elder of Demonia Sect walked into the great hall and said that to Nolan.
“What?” Nolan abruptly stood up and asked, “How long has it been since he went in?”
“About thirty minutes. No one had yet to be able to stay for such a long time after venturing into the cave!” The elder replied.
“Quick, bring me over for a look! Perhaps this is an elite!” Nolan hastily made his way out of the great hall
All this while, no one could stay so long after venturing into the cave. Many were instantly sent flying by the restriction in the cave, unable to tarry for any length of time. The fact that someone had gone in and hadn’t come out in thirty minutes meant there was hope. But just as he reached the great hall’s entrance, a disciple of Demonia Sect came and reported, “Mr. Zhang, Mr. Stark of Soul Demon Sect requests an audience with you.”
.. you have gone very quiet in a silent mode when Tyler is not actively mentioned in the story but here you are now that Tyler becoming alive again.
