LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

At the right moment, the sun was setting behind the western mountains. However, the sky hadn’t completely darkened yet.

The sound of the guzheng, filled with a sense of killing intent, continued to resonate from the mountaintop behind Emei, reaching the square below.

At this moment, everyone on the square was captivated by the sound of the guzheng.

Every single person on the spacious square turned their gaze towards the mountaintop of Emei.

Although the sky was gloomy, there were plenty of extraordinary people on the square with exceptional eyesight.

They could see that there seemed to be a pavilion on the mountaintop.

The surroundings of the pavilion were adorned with flickering white light, as if there were white lanterns hanging in all four directions.

This situation left the majority of the strong individuals on the square puzzled. Who had the audacity to hang white lanterns on the mountaintop of Emei?

Didn’t they know what white lanterns symbolized?

At this moment, Cecelia naturally turned her head and looked towards the mountaintop of Emei. She whispered to Jun, “The direction Lyvia was taken is there, at the mountaintop of Emei, the Dragon-Watching Pavilion!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jun’s figure flickered and disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already over a kilometer away.

At the same time, Margaret, who was about to take Anastasia and Elsa to the Temple of the Five Emperors, also looked towards the Dragon-Watching Pavilion.

However, for a moment, Margaret froze in place, her face turning pale. Anastasia, who was following behind her, had an equally pale face and trembled as she spoke.

“Margaret, we’ve been planning for years, what are we going to do now?

In the end, you, from the Emei Lineage, and I, along with everyone else here, are we all going to die at their hands?”

Upon hearing these words, Margaret finally regained her composure but uttered a bewildering sentence. “No! It’s impossible! This can’t be happening!”

Anastasia looked desperate. “Why is it impossible? What is the Island of the Five Emperors? Besides, how many years has it been since Darcy returned there? Everything he knows is still stuck in the past! Darcy also underestimated the strength of the people from the Island of the Five Emperors!”

“And after so many years, even though my strength is not much, I can still sense the meaning behind the sound of this guzheng! If that guzheng didn’t possess the strength of the Ethereal Core Realm, how could it produce such a sound?”

Margaret’s face turned ashen. At this moment, Anastasia continued, “Now, it seems I have to thank Jun! He wanted to imprison me in the Temple of the Five Emperors and make me shave my hair as a nun! Well, that suits my intentions perfectly! Otherwise, if I were to appear unharmed in front of them, the rest of my life would truly be worse than death!”

Margaret shook her head, her eyes filled with determination. “I believe in Jun!”

Anastasia sneered. “Margaret, what kind of potion did Jun give you? We’re already in great danger, yet you remain stubborn!”

“Why did those people from the Dragon-Watching Pavilion appear at the Dragon-Watching Pavilion?”

“To draw their swords!”

“And besides drawing their swords, they also want to take that woman back to the Island of the Five Emperors!”

“That woman, after being suppressed for so many years, has already reached an unimaginable realm of power!”

“But still, they came!”

“They came here fearlessly like this!”

Upon hearing this, Margaret’s eyes trembled for an instant. And in a flash, the fear in her eyes completely dissipated.

They came to draw their swords? Little did they know that the Dragon-Slaying Blade they wanted to retrieve had long fallen into Jun’s hands.

Thinking about this, Margaret quickly flashed and landed next to Nicholas, urgently saying, “Take the Dragon-Slaying Blade and go after the Dragon Lord!”

Indeed, Nicholas was holding a long wooden box in his hand. Inside the box was the Dragon-Slaying Blade that Jun had retrieved from the bottom of the Dragon-Trapping Well.

However, upon hearing Margaret’s words, Nicholas did not chase after Jun.

Instead, he said to Margaret, “Before he left, he secretly told me to stay put!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Margaret blurted out, “Arrogant!”

Nicholas was slightly startled, he smiled at Margaret and said, “Anyone can call him arrogant, but not you!”

Margaret lowered her voice and said, “It’s Ethereal Core Eight Realm! Not just Martial Energy Eight Realm! And at least Ethereal Core Eight Realm!”

Nicholas asked back, “So what?”

Margaret gritted her teeth and said, “You’re only at the Ethereal Core Sixth Realm, where does your unwavering confidence in Jun come from!?”

Nicholas shrugged and said, “Just wait and see!”

Margaret snorted, “You’re responsible for taking Anastasia and Elsa to the Temple of the Five Emperors. I’ll go and have a look!”

Nicholas frowned and said, “His goal is to lure out the exact location of the Island of the Five Emperors. Don’t ruin his plan!”

Margaret was suddenly speechless but extremely anxious. Even if she knew the exact location of the Island of the Five Emperors, what could she do?

The people in the Dragon-Watching Pavilion could reveal the strength of the Ethereal Core Eight Realm with just a pluck of the guzheng.

Who knows how terrifying their true strength is?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Meanwhile, at the peak of Emei Mountain, in the Dragon-Watching Pavilion!

The pavilion was not large, built on a huge broken stone on the cliff. And this huge broken stone was the Celestial Pinnacle Profound Iron Stone.

Underneath the giant stone was a bottomless abyss.

The sound of waves constantly came from the abyss, and the water at the bottom of the abyss flowed like a long dragon.

Therefore, the pavilion on the giant stone was named the Dragon-Watching Pavilion! It was not made of ordinary wood or stone.

On the contrary, it seemed to be integrated with this huge broken stone. So the entire pavilion was black.

Below the four corners of the pavilion hung four white lanterns. Under the lanterns, there were four black wind chimes hanging.

The sound of the guzheng continued, the sound of wind chimes continued, and the wind blew even stronger.

The person playing the guzheng was wearing a large red cloak, and there was a bright red plum blossom pinned to his hair.

This person seemed to be no older than forty, but his true age was unknown.

He came from the Island of the Five Emperors and his name was Stan Row! Just sitting there, he gave people a sense of decisiveness.

This person had large hands like fans, fingers like hooks, and ten finger guards on his fingers. Playing the guzheng, he had the demeanor of a martial god.

Besides him in the pavilion, there was a woman sitting on a stone bench. This woman was none other than Lyvia.

She sat quietly across from the guzheng, holding a teacup in her hand, with a leisurely posture. It seemed that no matter how terrifying Stan’s aura was, she didn’t care.

And at this moment, the sound of the guzheng abruptly stopped.

Stan finally looked up at Lyvia, smiled slightly, and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

Lyvia put down the teacup, smiled elegantly, and replied, “I followed you from the Deer-Cutting Forest to here because I’m afraid of those who would harm my relatives. As for you personally, I really don’t regard you highly.”

Speaking of which, Lyvia added, “You play the guzheng well, but I don’t like it, so I won’t reward you!”
