That did not sit well with Yvette at all. She disagreed, "You can't do this. Queenie's in a coma, and gods know if she'll wake up.""That's why I have to take her along, Mrs. Sanders. To cure her." Nox was right. Queenie was unconscious and nearly dead. She was only tethered to life by Nox's Revival and Ultimate Sun Dragon Manual.Nox had to take her along so he could heal her if needed, but Yvette had no idea about that. "I won't let you take her away. I won't. Even if she's awake, I can't let her go with you. And where are you taking her anyway?"Nox slowly raised his head, staring far into the southwest. He said, "To kill the people who did this to her.""Y-You're going to kill someone?" Yvette was horrified."Yes, and not someone. A lot of someones. They hurt the woman I love, and they will die for that." Nox's voice was dripping with murder, and Yvette went quiet.George stepped forth. "I'm on your side, Nox. Kill the bastards who did this to Queenie. Avenge her."Yvette pu
Curseland was in the southwestern zone of Faeast. Legend had it that this was where witchcraft was born. Though not everyone could cultivate, most knew of the legend of witchcraft and cursebugs.But with the advent of the modern age, the tales about witchcraft and cursebugs barely made their rounds around Curseland anymore.If it weren't for the fact they retained a lot of local customs and ancient buildings, Curseland would just be another modern metropolis, and it was a famous tourist spot. Tourism drew in billions every year.Three days later, a handsome silhouette appeared at the terminal of Curseland's airport. He was pushing a wheelchair, where an unconscious figure sat. To make sure no one knew the lady was in a coma, a pair of sunglasses were worn over her nose, covering her eyes.They were Nox and Queenie, of course."Milord, we're finally here!" an excited voice gushed. Jebediah followed Nox on this trip. He was carrying a lot of luggage. If not for his robes, he'd look
The news stoked flames of anger within Nox's eyes. "If the Curseland Five harbors that bastard, I'll slaughter them all."Keith said nothing. He knew his lord could be arrogant, and he knew Nox would really slaughter the five clans. "There's something more, milord," blurted Keith."What is it?""Do you remember Ms. Hendrickson, your admirer?"Nox frowned. "Selina Hendrickson from Blathanna Sect?""Yes. Ever since you rejected her, she left the northern battlefront for Curseland. Blathanna Sect's in Southwest City, they say."Memories of Selina flitted through Nox's mind. She was the leader of the Blathanna Sect and an incredibly gorgeous woman. No one knew who she used to be or how she rose to fame.The only thing they knew was that the sect she led was on par with Sovereign's Society, Shadow Sect, and Chamber of Healers. They were the strongest four among Faeast's new sects.Blathanna Sect was made up of beautiful women, but they were not to be underestimated. They were profes
Jebediah woke up early to make breakfast for Nox. After they ate, Nox said, "Jeb, I need you to do something for me.""Your orders, milord?" Jebediah quickly approached Nox.Nox handed him a prescription. "Buy everything that's listed on this paper. I'm making some pills for Queenie.""Yes, milord." Jebediah went on a shopping trip.At the same time, Nox got a text from Keith. It was about Curseland Five. Nox opened the file, and murder burst from his soul.Curseland Five was made up of five of the oldest clans in Curseland. They'd been standing for a thousand years, their roots deeply entrenched in this part of the nation.The five clans were: the Pearsons, the Mullers, the Greens, the Vines, and the Flames. They worshipped Cursegod and practiced witchcraft and cursebugs. The Pearsons were the most powerful of them all.The Vines were the most evil, while the Mullers possessed the vilest of cursebugs. These clans controlled the southwest's underworld and world of martial arts.
Jebediah called his senior, whom he'd not seen in years. The man was called Joseph Fowl. He was best friends with Jebediah when they were in training, but after Joseph left, Jebediah never saw him again.Two years ago, Jebediah caught wind of how Joseph came to Curseland and became a VIP for some powerful organization. Now that they were in Curseland, Jebediah was reminded of that guy.The call went through, and Joseph agreed to meet up the next day.The next morning, Jebediah changed into a new robe and spruced himself up for the meeting. "Milord, Joseph's my best friend when I was still in training. And he's always been more talented than me. He's now a VIP for some organization here," praised Jebediah.Nox didn't answer. Perhaps he didn't hear Jebediah.Not too long after that, a pair of black cars drove in from the distance. They stopped at the hotel's entrance, and a few besuited men opened the door. A dwarfish priest in robes came out of the car.He was barely over five foo
The fact that Joseph was Blathanna Sect's VIP shut Jebediah up."I know you're surprised, Jebediah, but don't be ashamed about it. Not every dog gets its day. I don't really mind. If you wish to work for me, you gotta tell me your power. Just so you know, we don't take in weaklings," Joseph explained.Jebediah smiled bitterly. "Just Intermediate Zen Realm, Joseph.""What? Already?" Joseph exclaimed. He'd always been more talented than Jebediah, but even he only became a Zen Realm the year before, and he was still Beginner Zen Realm. He couldn't believe Jebediah was stronger than him now."Yeah." Ever since Jebediah started working for Nox, his cultivation had been growing strong. After taking the Frostpills, he became a Zen Realm, and now he was an Intermediate Zen Realm sorcerer."Not bad. Didn't think you'd make it." Joseph was still in disbelief. He looked at Jebediah with his mousey eyes. He noticed the magick and the aura rolling around Jebediah, and he was shocked."Not bad
The look on Nox's face changed. Before Jebediah could say anything, Nox answered, "Sure. We'll tag along."Joseph turned to Nox, and he smiled. "You have a smart student, Jebediah.""I…" Jebediah wanted to scream so badly. He fumed inwardly, 'Can you shut it, you idiot? The man's my lord!'Joseph had no idea about that, of course. He thought Nox was Jebediah's disciple. "If your student wants to watch, you guys can tag along. I'll show you what Blathanna Sect's made of." He got into the car."I'm very sorry, milord. I can't believe he's turned into a git. Please, don't be mad at him."Nox dismissed it with a smile. "It's fine. We got an invite. Might as well see what this big thing is." He strode ahead.Jebediah heaved a sigh and followed closely.On the way there, Joseph started bragging about how great and important he was at Blathanna Sect and how he was an honorary guest officer.The negotiation happened because the Flames and Blathanna Sect had a row. The Flames, though pa
An exquisite woman in a long green dress stood in the leading spot. She was lithe and beautiful, and her arms were inked with tattoos. She looked just like the head honcho of a gang. Judging from the air she radiated, she was a Grandmaster.Joseph approached the woman. "Ms. Felicia, I have arrived."The woman was Felicia Waters, or as they called her, the Demoness of Poison. She was famous.Felicia looked at Joseph coldly. "You're late.""Sorry… the traffic… a nightmare, really," said Joseph quickly. Contrary to what he said, Joseph was just a nobody in the Blathanna Sect.Felicia brushed it aside, looking at the skies. "It's almost time. We should go in now." She led her group of ladies into the club, and Joseph followed like a good little lackey.Though the club was shining, Nox felt dark auras coming from the hall the moment he stepped in. He looked ahead and noticed about twenty burly warriors standing around.In the leading spot was a middle-aged man in Curse clan attire. H
