LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Upon hearing Margaret’s words, Jun glanced at her and furrowed his brow slightly.

“Before, in the back mountains of Emei, I killed Charles and the others. His daughter was scared away, and then you appeared by my side, telling me that the people from the Island of the Five Emperors had gone to the front mountains of Emei. So, logically speaking, you haven’t seen Charles’ daughter.”

Margaret was taken aback for a moment and quickly explained, “I have met this person, Luza, before!”

Jun narrowed his eyes. “That makes it even more suspicious. You have been secluded in the Heavenly Sanctum for many years, ignorant of worldly affairs. How could you have met someone like Luza?”

Margaret’s gaze evaded slightly as she lowered her head. “I… occasionally leave the Heavenly Sanctum to see what’s happening outside, especially in the West.”

Jun furrowed his brow. “Why?”

Margaret hesitated. “After the failed expedition to the Island of the Five Emperors with Leona, the lord of White Emperor City, she left the Island of the Five Emperors for a while. She set up many pawns in the West, and I’m concerned that those pawns might be detrimental to Lordran’s Martial World. That’s why I’ve been keeping an eye on them.”

Jun’s voice turned cold. “Look into my eyes and speak.”

Margaret immediately raised her head to meet Jun’s gaze and solemnly said, “I swear, every word I’ve spoken is true! If there’s even a hint of falsehood, let thunder strike me down! Or let me perish by the hands of the Dragon Lord, and I won’t hold any grudges!”

Jun snorted coldly. “No wonder your strength has been improving so slowly. You have too many distractions!”

Margaret’s face flushed red instantly.

Jun continued in a cold tone, “Do you know Luza, and does Luza know you?”

Margaret shook her head immediately. “No, when I went to the West before, I presented myself as Anastasia.”

Jun pondered for a moment and said indifferently, “Go and investigate the truth. See what level of cultivators are gathered by the city gate.”

Margaret bowed with her fists clasped. “I will obey!”

Unexpectedly, just as Margaret finished speaking, she felt a white light shining from the city wall of White Emperor City towards them.

Margaret’s heart tightened, and she followed the path of the white light with her eyes.

She saw a row of armored figures standing on the city wall, patrolling the area outside the wall.

“We’re in trouble, we’ve been discovered!” Margaret exclaimed anxiously.

Jun’s face turned cold. “I’ve already concealed our presence. As long as you stay within fifty paces of me, no one will be able to see you!”

Margaret opened her mouth, stunned.

But before Margaret could regain her composure, the white light that had shone from the city wall disappeared.

Margaret once again clasped her fists and bowed to Jun. “Dragon Lord is mighty!”

Jun remained silent, walking towards the direction of the city gate with faster steps.

There, just as Luza had walked out of the city gate, his fair face filled with gloom, as if he had encountered some trouble.

And at that moment, the people around the bonfire in front of the city gate all turned their gazes toward Luza.

Their eyes were filled with greed.

One middle-aged man dressed in a black robe sneered at Luza and said, “Oh, isn’t this the Saintess from the Eastern Orthodoxy in the West? How come you were driven out before you could even meet our city lord after coming to seek help in our White Emperor City?”

Upon hearing these words, Luza’s face grew even darker.

The man in the black robe continued, “In the past, you were just a Kunlun Slave, a lowly servant girl. But now, times have changed. You, who used to be a maid, have managed to infiltrate our scattered spies of White Emperor City. You’re quite lucky!”

Luza remained silent. At that moment, another man near the campfire suddenly slapped the man in a black robe and warned him, “Be careful with your words, Lord of the City. You were once a Kunlun Slave too!”

The man in the black robe finally wiped the smirk off his face but still spoke disdainfully, saying, “So what? I didn’t compare the Lord of the City to this little girl. Although our Lord is also Caucasian, he has long been assimilated by us.”

Saying this, the man looked at Luza again and squinted his eyes, saying, “Luza, when you returned earlier, I overheard you talking to the people at the city gate. You said your father and some higher-ups from the Eastern Orthodoxy were all slaughtered by a guy named Jun.”

Luza took a deep breath and suddenly looked at the man in the black robe, coldly saying, “Gabriel White, if you say one more word, I will kill you.”

The man named Gabriel was initially startled but then burst into laughter. “Maybe last year, but not anymore. I had the privilege of attending the Gathering of Spirits on the Island of the Five Emperors. Since then, my power has increased several times over. Although I’m still not on par with Metalwalker and the others, I have more than enough to kill you.”

Upon hearing this, Luza’s face turned pale. Gabriel grinned as he carefully examined Luza’s near-perfect figure, stroking his chin and saying, “I can help you avenge your enemies.”

Luza retorted coldly, “Are you qualified?”

Gabriel chuckled, “Waterwalker Russell and I are brothers. Recently, the island owner personally sent him outside to oversee the Emei Lineage and retrieve the Dragon-Slaying Blade. So, it seems that leaving the island and going after you won’t be too difficult.”

With that said, Gabriel suddenly reached into the campfire, grabbed a ball of flame in his palm, and casually waved it towards Luza, instantly burning a patch on Luza’s robe.

Gabriel’s smile remained unchanged as he continued, “What’s wrong? Are you doubting my strength? Do you think killing you will be a troublesome task?”

Luza frantically extinguished the flames on his body, glaring angrily at Gabriel while feeling shocked by his unimaginable power increase.

Just then, Gabriel stood up and walked towards Luza with a smug smile. Luza’s eyes filled with fear. Gabriel approached Luza, greedily taking a deep breath and licking his lips, smiling at him, “Even though your clothes are in the way, I can still smell your enticing scent, slightly mixed with a hint of sweetness and sourness. So, are you still untouched?”

Luza took several steps back, fear evident in his eyes. “What do you want to do?”

Gabriel laughed with his hands behind his back. “I want to help you seek revenge, but there’s a condition. I can go to Emei and kill Jun for you, but you have to show me a little performance right now.”

Luza ground his teeth. “The Lord of the City has already told me that the Five Elemental Envoys have all arrived at Mount Emei, and Jun will undoubtedly die at their hands. So, I don’t need you to worry about my hatred!”

Gabriel’s face immediately turned dark, and he suddenly grabbed Luza’s shoulder, staring at him fiercely. “My temper is flaring up. Do you dare defy me?”

As he spoke, he tore Luza’s robe into pieces.

A perfect body was instantly exposed to the air.
