Ch. 3321..3330
Chapter 3321 Got Off Easy
At the moment, no one could figure out who Levi was.
Levi was against both sides. It was only natural for people to be confused about his identity.
Not to mention the fact that his powers far exceeded even the Three Sages.
If Levi was in the Ecclesiastic Order, surely he would be in one of the top classes.
Yet, they had never even heard of the guy who had defeated everyone while barely lifting his finger.
Perhaps the Ecclesiastic Order had hidden him as their ultimate weapon.
The top secret weapon that no one should know of.
After all, the Ecclesiastic Order was huge. It was not impossible for them to have secret powerful elites.
Not to mention that the order had a history of being unpredictable.
Not everyone could appreciate the value of the magical herbs in North Pavilion.
Levi stood in the middle of the field and looked around. Not a single man remained standing. All around him from the front to the back was a huge pathway.
Satisfied, Levi nodded.
“There we go! This is more like it! I’ve asked you to make way for me. It’s your fault for not listening and forcing me to take matters into my own hands,” Levi commented.
After hearing Levi’s comment, sighs could be heard from all corners of the field.
There was no doubt that everyone was regretting their choices.
They should not have angered Levi.
As of then, those from North Pavilion could not do anything to defend their turf.
On the other hand, those who came to attack North Pavilion could not attack either.
All of them were sprawled onto the ground with serious injuries. It would be a miracle for them to even stand up.
Any other actions would be out of the question.
The only thing they could do was watch Levi enter the North Pavilion’s main hall.
There was nothing else they could do.
As of then, no one could decide who was good, bad, and evil.
Till then, no one knew what had happened exactly.
All they knew was neither side of the battle could advance any further.
Even though the elites below could no longer attack, those from North Pavilion did not rejoice at all.
They had no doubts that many more would be in hiding, waiting for an opening to strike and to obtain the treasures of North Pavilion.
Under normal circumstances, those in hiding will show up after the North Pavilion was almost defeated.
That moment would be the best timing for them to show up.
Otherwise, they would be doomed if they didn’t attack.
Either way, North Pavilion would still be destroyed.
There was no change in the ending of the story.
The only difference is that lesser people would be sharing North Pavilion’s treasures among themselves.
Certain that those in hiding would show up any moment, the people of North Pavilion sighed in despair as they felt their hopes draining away.
Before that, they could at least try to stop the enemies by fighting in the battle themselves.
Yet, all they could do then was to watch themselves getting defeated.
Meanwhile, those who came to attack North Pavilion were sighing as well.
They were the ones who had defeated North Pavilion a few moments ago.
Yet when it was finally time to split the treasures, they could not even stand.
Guess those who are in hiding got off easy.
They should be here for North Pavilion’s treasures any moment now.
In fact, they must have gotten anxious.
There would be no surprise if they started charging forward immediately.
Both sides waited for those in hiding to show up.
However, not a single trace of movement was detected.
Something’s off. This is rather abnormal!
By logic, those in hiding should have their eyes on the battlefield at all times.
That way, if anything were to happen, they could attack at the first moment.
Why would they wait till now?
They were supposed to show up the moment Levi left.
However, no one came forward.
It was certainly unusual.
The only possible explanation was that they were afraid of Levi after seeing what he had done.
However, a long time had passed and there still wasn’t any shadow of movement.
The entire place was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
The deafening silence made everyone’s skin crawl.
This is…
Both the defenders and attackers of North Pavilion were puzzled.
Why isn’t anyone coming yet?
What are they waiting for?
Could it be that there’s no one in the first place?
That’s impossible!
They should have been hiding here a long time ago.
Either that or they should have surrounded North Pavilion by now.
Everyone was convinced that there had to be someone around.
However, no one showed up. What are these people waiting for?
Both sides of the battle were beginning to feel anxious.
Why haven’t they come out of hiding yet?
Everyone should be ready by now.
Where are they? Did they vanish into thin air?
After another long period of waiting, there was still no one to be seen.
Everyone was even more confused.
What exactly are they waiting for?
Just then, a faint rustling sound broke the silence.
“Someone’s here!”
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes turned in the same direction.
Chapter 3322 They Cannot Die
It turned out that there were merely several dozens of people who came.
Of course, the one leading them was Gloria.
Dead bodies were lying all over the ground along their way to North Pavilion.
What exactly happened? Who killed all of them? So many elites lost their lives just like that?
As they went closer to the vicinity of North Pavilion’s main hall, they only grew more confused.
Logically speaking, the battle should be in its climax right now. How is it possible that there are no movements at all?
Indeed, it was dead quiet.
It was to the point they were taken aback and dared not step forward.
As such, they had observed from a concealed spot for a long time and only stepped out after ensuring no threats were around them.
The unexpected scene before their eyes had Gloria and the rest pale with fright as they walked out.
Despite the vast number of people around, no one was left standing.
Regardless of which factions they were from, everyone had collapsed onto the ground and was severely wounded.
Why is it like that?
Gloria had a hard time wrapping her head around the situation.
Besides, with that few people they have, how is it possible that North Pavilion could match up with the other major factions? That can’t be true. The people from both parties are still alive and merely gravely injured to the point they lose their ability to fight. That’s just too coincidental. Could it be…
Suddenly, Gloria remembered how none of the elite fighters of the various factions in the Ecclesiastic Order, who were hiding in the dark, could escape death.
Perhaps that has something to do with this situation? That person or faction was the one behind everything?
Like how astonished Gloria was when she saw them, they had reacted in the exact same way.
“The people from West Pavilion!”
The crowd managed to recognize Gloria and the others.
“What’s going on? There are only so few people from West Pavilion? How about the other hidden elites of the various factions?” someone hurriedly asked.
Gloria coldly responded, “There’s no one else. Everyone got killed! I see no one alive all along my way here! They’re all dead!”
Hiss!
The crowd gasped in shock upon hearing that answer.
Realization instantly dawned upon them as to why no one came even after waiting for a long time.
All dead? Then, why did we get out?
Without a doubt, they knew who the culprit was.
It was none other than that person who had whacked all of them earlier.
“What about you guys? What’s the situation?” Gloria curiously questioned.
“A formidable fighter came and severely injured both parties. They’ve all lost their ability to fight!”
“If I’m not wrong, he killed all of those people in the shadows!”
Many from the crowd began to explain.
“What?” That shocking revelation left Gloria utterly flabbergasted.
What kind of combat prowess is that? That’s too ridiculous. It’s already shocking enough that he killed so many elites. Yet now, he injured even more people? That immeasurable power is basically out of everyone’s imagination!
“Then do you guys know who he is?” asked Gloria again.
“Not at all. We’ve never seen that man before! Perhaps, he’s a formidable fighter who has been living in seclusion! He came to look for the Three Sages of North Pavilion, so we’re guessing he’ll probably protect that faction! It’s best if you guys don’t head over to North Pavilion’s main hall too! It’ll spell trouble if you run into him. Only death awaits you by then!”
Hearing the advice, Gloria instantly began to tremble in fear.
As much as she had acquired Forlevia’s technique, she had yet to achieve a similar level.
Besides, she was extremely fearful of death.
“Let’s observe the situation first! We shouldn’t act recklessly!”
A look of frustration washed over Gloria’s face.
She had thought North Pavilion would surely fall since she had personally ruined their only hope—Levi.
That had stripped Sonja and the others of the opportunity to seek help from the man.
Neither did she think that there would be someone else who would come to North Pavilion’s rescue.
Unexpectedly, hope had ignited for North Pavilion.
Who on earth is that?
Meanwhile, Levi stepped foot into North Pavilion’s main hall.
And within his expectations, there were many traps laid around the interior of the main hall.
Nevertheless, those were no match for Levi’s iron fists.
Not long after, he arrived at the back of the mountains, where the Three Sages were.
At this point, the three could no longer take it anymore.
They were all on the brink of death.
“Get lost! They can’t die!”
Chapter 3323 Here To Kill All Of You
Upon hearing Levi’s roar, the few hundred people surrounding the Three Sages stopped what they were doing at once and turned to look at him.
At that point, the Three Sages were barely alive.
“Darn it! Are you people trying to kill these three old men?” Levi was seething with anger.
In contrast, the three, who had blood at the corner of their mouth, broke into smiles as soon as they heard that familiar voice.
We get to live! North Pavilion is going to be fine too!
No one could believe that the last hope of North Pavilion would turn out to be an outsider.
An outsider saved North Pavilion.
Hundred over pair of eyes all fell on Levi at once.
Those elite fighters were unlike the rabble outside.
Even though the latter was equally powerful, those hundred elites were tremendously formidable since they were, after all, enlisted to deal with the Three Sages Of North Pavilion.
All of them had capabilities that were on par with the leader of Divine Tiger Palace.
“Dude, who are you?” Everyone glared at Levi questioningly.
“The one who will kill all of you!”
As soon as those words fell, the crowd turned absolutely hysterical.
They gaped at Levi in disbelief.
“Do you think you’re capable-” Just as the leader spat those words, his body burst open and erupted into a mist of blood!
It was such a horrid sight it left the crowd dumbfounded.
What trick is that? Which tactic of the Art of Consumption did he use that he could shatter an elite into nothing?
That must be the celestial-level of the Art of Consumption! How jaw-dropping!
“Be careful! He’s no ordinary man!”
The elite fighters belatedly comprehended the situation and began to charge toward Levi.
Boom! Boom!
As Levi trotted forward one step after another, waves of energy beams radiated from below his feet.
Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…
Noises from the ravaging waves resonated into the air.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
And as the shockwaves spread and came into contact with the fighters charging forward, their body instantly blasted apart and turned into a mist of blood.
Yet, they did not even manage to lay a finger on Levi.
Just as the rest of the fighters sensed something was amiss and wanted to escape, they found themselves frozen on the spot, unable to move their bodies. It felt like there was an immense pressure acting above them.
All that they could do was watch the terrifying waves approach them at full force.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
One after another, they exploded.
In over a dozen meters, the hundred over fighters were all killed as Levi set foot before the Three Sages.
They had all exploded into pieces by the ravaging waves.
And once again, the Three Sages were so astonished they could not even speak.
Goodness! How powerful is he actually? Even without getting injured, it’ll take us some time to deal with those hundreds of fighters. Yet, they’re all gone just like that? This is unbelievable!
“You three would have died if I came any later!” Levi looked at them as he spoke.
The Three Sages burst into a fit of laughter.
We’re indeed lucky!
“I made my way here because I have a question for you all,” Levi expressed the purpose of his visit.
“Huh?”
The three seemed bewildered.
Then, Levi pulled out the portraits.
“It might be a little tough to see their appearances, but do you recognize their outfits?”
“I tried to ask previously and found out that the younger generation here seems to have a clue about it, but they mentioned it’d cause a total wipe-out for North Pavillion and refused to tell me anything. But now that I see it, you guys will suffer the same fate even without telling me the truth, no?” Levi’s voice rang with authority.
“What?”
The Three Sages turned to look in unison.
Upon seeing the portraits, their expressions changed drastically.
However, unlike the look of fear on the faces of Sonja and the others, these three appeared to be shocked.
After all, someone of their level would be familiar with such a situation and barely be in terror.
“You know them, don’t you?” Levi inquired.
“Yeah, we do!” The Three Sages nodded fervently.
“Tell me about them.” Levi sat down.
Sensos explained, “Do you know what the Ecclesiastic Order is all about?”
Levi averted his gaze at him. “Please elaborate.”
“It’s to subjugate the deviant clans! The strange beings around!”
Chapter 3324 The Totem Reappear
“And that bunch of people is the Ecclesiastic Order’s biggest arch-enemy. They’re the most almighty deviant clan that even the Ecclesiastic Order can’t suppress. Both parties have fought a tough battle for a long time, almost as if their lives depended on it. Later, when spiritual energy depleted, the Ecclesiastic Order found a place with a spiritual ley line to hide away. And likewise that deviant clan as they hid themselves up too!”
Levi listened intently to their explanation.
Suddenly, Bulder heaved a sigh. “Huh! Sadly, the Ecclesiastic Order gradually diverged into several independent factions and later into various forces, just like what you see today! They’re in shambles, and that’s why they are so powerless against the deviant clan. It’s lucky that the clan’s prowess has gradually weakened over time and is no longer as capable as they were in the past. That’s why they didn’t dare recklessly attack the Ecclesiastic Order as much as they know how the latter lacks a solid foundation.
But if the Ecclesiastic Order ever comes together and joins forces again, it’s no doubt destruction will befall them. That’s because the overall ability of the Ecclesiastic Order, even though they’re in such a divided state, is far more impressive since the various factions have been expanding in an unrestrained manner and wielding great power.
Of course, it’s almost impossible to gather all of them into one again. the Ecclesiastic Order is now only a title and essentially something of the previous era. The deviant clan has evidently seen things through; otherwise, they wouldn’t break the divisions of the Ecclesiastic Order one after another!”
Exto chimed in, “Truth be told, the Ecclesiastic Order will never come together again. Not only will that not happen, but they are instead hoping and anticipating to see each other getting exterminated. That has thus caused the arrogance and hostility of that deviant clan.
Although it’s nowhere comparable to the Ecclesiastic Order, no one will be able to compete against them if they go one on one. Moreover, they’re exceptionally ruthless and violent. They won’t hold back at killing the whole faction, which explains why many are especially fearful of the clan. Anyone who offends them will only end up getting exterminated!”
Levi finally had a rough understanding of the situation. “No wonder the younger generations of North Pavilion would be so frightened even when they were merely being recognized. It seems like it could really bring devastating consequences for you people!”
The Three Sages nodded. “Exactly. We wouldn’t be able to keep up with the defense with just the three of us alone. As for you… I can’t say for sure…”
They originally wanted to tell Levi he would not be capable as well.
However, having seen Levi’s phenomenal skills earlier, they could no longer be so sure if he could deal with the clan all alone anymore.
“Where do they usually hang out?” Levi threw them another question.
“They used to be active at a certain location, but that’s no longer so in recent years. Barely anyone see them around anymore! Those juniors of North Pavilion have probably heard about them through rumors or the ancient manual!” the Three Sages responded.
Yet, Levi chuckled. “Perhaps, they’ve been held captive and are now at the service of someone!”
The Three Sages immediately retorted, “No! That’s impossible! Based on how strong they are, who would be able to hold them in possession? Not unless the entirety of the Ecclesiastic Order comes together to subdue them. I can’t think of anyone who could do that. So I believe that’s absolutely not the case! It’s impossible for that to happen!”
The Three Sages’ tone of voice was enough to show the strength of that deviant clan.
“That truly is how things are, though. They are at someone’s service! And that someone is the person who transplanted the spiritual bones from my comrades!”
Levi brought out another portrait of that person.
“Others might not know about the totem of the sky-devouring python on the back, but I’m sure you guys should know, right?” Levi popped yet another question.
The Three Sages focused their gazes on observing the figure.
This time, a look of horror washed across all three faces.
“No way! Why would this totem appear again?” They were in complete bafflement.
Nonetheless, the reactions of the Three Sages had left Levi especially thrilled since that meant they were aware of the totem.
And that had left him pleasantly surprised.
Chapter 3325 I Finally Know Who He Is
“We recognized that totem! It belongs to the deviant clan that the Ecclesiastic Order has destroyed! At that time, there was a total wipe-out for that clan, so there’s no way someone would still be alive. Additionally, this totem has disappeared for so long. How can it reappear just like this?” The Three Sages were left wondering.
“Well, it had indeed reappeared! And those people are following his orders!” There was determination in Levi’s tone.
“If that’s the real totem, then it seems likely that those deviant clans would obey his commands,” Exto analyzed.
Sensos and Bulder sighed. “The totem of the sky-devouring python has appeared in the Ecclesiastic Order, yet none of us knew about it. I’m afraid there might be a plot behind it, and ultimately, this could spell the fall of the Ecclesiastic Order! Aren’t we giving that person an opportunity if we’re fighting amongst ourselves now?”
Turning to look at Levi, the three assured, “Don’t worry, Mr. Garrison. Leave this matter to us! We will find out the identity of that man with the totem of the sky-devouring python!”
“All right! And I shall personally investigate the Invincible Clan! Since we now know who it is, things will become much simpler! The juniors of North Pavillion were worried that they would bring disaster upon the faction if they revealed the truth! But I shall wait. I shall wait for their arrival!”
A cold glint flashed across Levi’s eyes.
I don’t care what the Invincible Clan is all about! They will have to pay an equivalent price for hurting my comrades!
“But Mr. Garrison, we have a small request. We still need you to help us out!” The Three Sages gazed at Levi expectantly.
“Sure. I’ve agreed with those juniors that I’ll grant them a promise. They can use it to ask me for help in the most critical situation. I shall fulfill the promise now!” Levi agreed without hesitation.
Even though North Pavilion was left unguarded, and there was an abundance of treasures inside, Gloria and the others dared not make their way ahead.
That had inevitably left them boiling with fury.
Without that person, the treasures in North Pavilion would’ve become ours! Sadly, we can’t take a bite even when that piece of meat pie is right beside us. Argh! How depressing!
Of course, how would they dare to spring into action without making sure of that person’s identity?
“He hasn’t left?” Gloria could not help but express her concern.
She had sent out several spies to suss the situation earlier.
“Not yet! But everyone inside has been killed!”
The fear within Gloria only intensified upon receiving that piece of news.
“Who exactly is it?” Gloria was rather puzzled.
They had been analyzing who it was since earlier.
However, there were no results.
They did not find someone who could match.
“There’s a letter for you, Gloria!”
Just then, her subordinate brought her a letter.
Gloria’s expression instantly changed since she reckoned it was a way of contact used only during times of emergency.
Given the current situation, only Floyd and the others know. Could it be him?
Wasting no time, she ripped open the letter, and after reading the contents, she was utterly shell-shocked.
Floyd’s message was straight to the point: Master has already left for North Pavilion.
Worried that something might happen, Floyd also asked in his letter if she was in danger.
So, it’s Levi. I knew it. There are so many people, yet no one could recognize the person from the Ecclesiastic Order who launched an attack. It turns out he was a “monkey” from outside. Still, isn’t that power far beyond anyone’s imagination? He was able to defeat hundreds of fighters of the Ecclesiastic Order. It seems like Levi is way more formidable than I have expected him to be.
That mind-blowing thought made Gloria shudder involuntarily.
His combat prowess seems to be limitless. More importantly, his spiritual bone is practically nonexistent. According to Sonja, his strength comes from pure physique training, and that’s already at its peak! He’s definitely someone I can’t offend, and neither can I afford to offend! The consequences will be unimaginable if he finds out I’ve been fooling his disciple because I have designs on him.
She did not dare to think further as her body began to tremble incessantly.
Nonetheless, she still had to face Levi since she was after his Ancient Divine Sword and his daughter’s spiritual bone!
Chapter 3326 The Untouchable North Pavilion Gloria thought about it and felt it would be a very difficult task.
However, she now had a rare opportunity to act.
Since Levi came to North Pavilion, Gloria could use the opportunity to get to Forlevia through Floyd.
Still, she did not dare to do it because she had not finished her preparation.
After all, transplanting spiritual bone was time-consuming and required extensive preparation.
Furthermore, Levi knew about the Ecclesiastic Order and all its Bonemasters.
Thus, it would be too risky for her to transplant Forlevia’s spiritual bone.
Furthermore, he could easily find her hiding place.
She believed if she took action now, Levi would soon find her.
Therefore, it was not a good time to act yet.
She needed to wait a little longer.
After all, she had just started training Forlevia’s technique and was not strong enough.
She needed to master Forlevia’s technique and reach a sufficient stage of advancement.
Otherwise, she could not control the spiritual bone even if the transplantation was successful.
Gloria knew her abilities were limited.
Although she could control many men to do her biddings, she would not stand a chance against Levi if she were to face him.
Therefore, she had no choice but to grow stronger.
On the other hand, she also had to find a way to keep Levi away.
Otherwise, she could not carry out her plan.
Why has Levi come to North Pavilion to meet the Three Sages?
Gloria was curious about that.
She did not know there was any history between the Three Sages and Levi.
Before this, she did not even know that they knew each other.
“Could it be… Is he here to ask the Three Sages about someone?” Gloria mumbled to herself.
That was her first guess, and she believed she was right.
Furthermore, she could not think of any other reasons.
Huh? The Three Sages are injured?
Everyone from the Ecclesiastic Order knew the Three Sages were injured, but they were not sure who attacked them.
Thus, everyone could only guess, and no one knew the answer.
Then, Gloria finally understood something.
Did the Three Sages get injured because they looked for Levi? Then Levi recognized the Three Sages and asked them who attacked Azure Dragon and his gang. I’ve got it! It was Levi!
Gloria was undeniably intelligent, as she could figure out the matter quickly.
Previously, they suspected someone from the Ecclesiastic Order and did not consider someone they regarded as an uncivilized monkey.
They did not think a lowly human could be capable of it.
Now, Gloria was certain that it was Levi.
That’s incredible! Even the Three Sages could not stand a chance against him.
Then, Gloria’s expression turned grim.
He is too powerful. Luckily, I managed to get Floyd on my side for Levi trusts Floyd completely. Otherwise, I would not stand a chance at all. I need to devise a proper plan to go against him. Fortunately, the person who transplanted the spiritual bones from Azure Dragon and his gang is strong enough. I am confident that he can make Levi suffer.
At this moment, a team of people from West Pavilion arrived.
They rushed to Gloria after receiving her call for backup.
“Huh?” They were all stunned by the scene before them. It was nothing like they had expected.
“Isn’t this a chance for us to attack? We can conquer North Pavilion and divide it among us!” said one of the fighters from West Pavilion.
They were all elite fighters from West Pavilion. Their eyes gleamed with greed, and they were eager to attack North Pavilion, thinking that they had a good chance of victory.
“Retreat! Everyone must leave now! No one can attack North Pavilion. Anyone who dares to try will die!” Gloria urged them.
With someone as powerful as Levi in North Pavilion, who would dare to attack it? Anyone who dares to try will die!
“All of you should retreat now. I will stay here to observe the situation! After you return to West Pavilion, inform the master and the others that someone powerful has arrived to help North Pavilion. Thus, no one can conquer it now!” Gloria ordered.
She had a high standing in West Pavilion. Therefore, many still listened to her orders.
Thus, the crowd of elite fighters left immediately.
Meanwhile, Gloria remained to observe the situation.
However, she did not dare to get too close, fearing that Levi would notice her.
“Wait, I forgot about Floyd!” After observing for half a day, Gloria suddenly remembered Floyd. “I need to inform Floyd about this immediately!”
Chapter 3327 A Traitor Can Never Be Trusted
Gloria arranged for someone to keep watch before leaving to meet with Floyd.
Soon, Levi came out of North Pavilion’s main hall and noticed more than ten thousand people observing him.
“Listen closely. I shall protect North Pavilion from now on! So, scram!” Levi said and burst out a tremendous wave of power in all directions.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The spies hidden in the surroundings exploded one by one.
It was a warning and a show of power!
Thus, no one dared to even think of attacking North Pavilion anymore!
They knew they were no match against Levi.
Levi alone was more powerful than all the Three Sages combined.
Therefore, who would dare to offend him?
Based on the present situation, none of the prominent factions would stand a chance if they did not send their top fighters.
Perhaps, even sending their top fighters would not help much.
Still, the Ecclesiastic Order would have to send its top fighters if they were to have any chance against Levi.
North Pavilion was saved through the effort of one person.
Thus, its enemies could not help but grumble and curse.
On the other hand, soldiers from North Pavilion cheered.
Then, they saw Doran’s eyes brimmed with tears and felt a strong urge to cry.
North Pavilion finally came out of danger.
It was a great cause of joy.
Meanwhile, those who betrayed North Pavilion turned pale with fear.
None of them expected such a drastic reversal of situations.
The threat against North Pavilion was resolved in the blink of an eye.
What were they to do now?
Peace finally returned to North Pavilion.
Although they had not regained their combat powers, it was not an issue.
Everyone who planned to attack North Pavilion did not dare to proceed after hearing Levi’s warning.
They all ran away with fear.
It was a sight to behold as more than ten thousand people ran away in panic.
Meanwhile, four high-ranking members of North Pavilion were on the verge of panic.
They did not know what they should do.
The attackers have run away. What should we do? Should we run or stay in North Pavilion?
They had betrayed North Pavilion and were now in a dilemma.
Doran and others all looked at these four traitors.
The four traitors felt even more awkward.
They had no choice but to force out a smile. One of the traitors pleaded, “Doran! We are wrong! It was a momentary lapse of judgment!”
Another traitor said urgently, “Master, we only wanted to live! We did not intend to betray North Pavilion! Please give us another chance, Master!”
“Yes, we are still members of North Pavilion! Please treat the matter as an honest mistake!” added another traitor.
“Isn’t it detrimental for you to chase us out? You have to rebuild North Pavilion, so you need our help!” argued one of the traitors.
This group of traitors shamelessly pleaded for mercy.
Doran hesitated upon hearing their plea.
There were few people left in North Pavilion.
If he chased them out or kill them, there would not be enough people around to rebuild North Pavilion.
However, these traitors betrayed North Pavilion in its critical moment.
What should I do? How should I deal with this matter?
As everyone was still undecided, Levi suddenly spoke. “Those who betrayed once shall betray again. Kill them all!”
Levi’s words awakened Doran from indecision.
Yes, he is right! Why am I still hesitating at this point? We have to start from scratch anyway. Why am I still hesitating on whether to keep the traitors? These traitors were disloyal to North Pavilion. If I choose to keep them, they could betray us again the next time North Pavilion falls into danger.
“Kill them!” Doran commanded.
Soon, everyone swarmed at the traitors.
These traitors had not recovered from their injuries and did not dare to fight back with Levi watching them.
Thus, they were soon annihilated.
After getting rid of the traitors, North Pavilion could finally start rebuilding itself.
Meanwhile, Gloria arrived near Levi’s base.
She gave documents containing information on the men in black robes to Floyd.
Floyd flipped through the documents immediately.
“After I returned to West Pavilion, I quickly consulted my seniors and found out about the men in black robes’ whereabouts. So, I thought to send it to you immediately! Oh? Your master went to North Pavilion. I heard there is a war, but I don’t know the details,” Gloria said worriedly.
Chapter 3328 Gloria Infiltrated The Base
“Huh? Is there a war in North Pavilion? Is my master in danger?” Floyd asked anxiously.
Gloria glanced at him and secretly felt disdain for him.
Why do you need to worry about him? How can you doubt your master’s abilities? Your master has incredible combat prowess. None of the members of the Ecclesiastic Order can stand against him. He is more powerful than the strongest of the Invincible Clan.
“Of course, he won’t be in danger! Your master is powerful. It is pointless for you to worry about him!” Gloria said.
“Yes, you’re right! My master is invincible. No one can stand a chance against him!” Floyd said.
He looked at the documents with information on the Invincible Clan and said, “My master would be happy to see these after he returned. Thank you, Gloria!”
Gloria suddenly thought about something and asked, “By the way, do the others know that your master had left?”
Floyd shook his head. “I’m not sure whether the others know too.”
“Did your master take Forlevia with him?” Gloria’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
“No, Forlevia is still here,” Floyd answered.
Gloria clapped her hand. “That’s bad! I heard someone knew your master went to North Pavilion! I fear someone would use this opportunity to harm Forlevia. That would be bad!”
“Is that so? That won’t do! I can’t let anything happen to Forlevia! Gloria, I need to check on Forlevia. You should go back!” Floyd became anxious upon hearing Gloria’s warning.
He wanted to go to Forlevia as soon as possible to see if she was all right.
“Sure, you should head to her quickly!” Gloria replied.
Floyd rushed away immediately.
However, Gloria did not leave straight away. She stayed to follow Floyd in secret.
Since Levi was not around, it was a good chance for her to explore this place.
Of course, Gloria did not dare to transplant Forlevia’s spiritual bone yet.
It was still not the best time for her to do that.
Still, it was a good opportunity for her to do something.
Thus, what she wanted to do now was to figure out the base’s design and condition.
Know thyself and know thy enemies. Gloria believed that was the secret to success.
Therefore, she needed to know her way around the base, including where Forlevia and Levi stayed. Furthermore, she wanted to find out more about its environment and facilities.
Then, she could infiltrate the base easily or know the quickest way to escape.
Thus, she had to do this to prepare for her future plans.
Gloria seemed to be moving ahead steadily.
She had made enough preparations before this.
Otherwise, she could not have succeeded with such ease.
Unfortunately, Floyd remained unaware of her devious plans.
All he could think of was Forlevia’s well being.
Thus, he did not notice Gloria following him.
Gloria knew Levi had sharp senses. Therefore, she deliberately suppressed her aura so as not to leave any traces.
Otherwise, Levi would find out that she went into the base.
Floyd soon arrived at the place where Forlevia was undergoing solitary training. It was hard to find this place.
Other than Levi and Zoey, very few people would come here.
Thus, Gloria was glad that she followed Floyd.
Otherwise, she would not be able to find out where Forlevia was, and it would be harder for her to avoid Levi.
Thus, Gloria took note of Forlevia’s location in her mind.
After finding out that Forlevia was fine, Floyd proceeded to head elsewhere. Gloria continued to follow him.
They covered nearly half of the base and went to a few secret locations.
In the end, Floyd came to Levi’s private quarter. He stayed there to wait for Levi to return.
“Isn’t this Ancient Divine Sword?” Gloria’s eyes brightened as she noticed God Crusher placed carelessly at the side.
She nearly went mad from the excitement.
It seemed Levi did not care much for God Crusher.
On the other hand, those in the Ecclesiastic Order were obsessed with getting Levi’s God Crusher.
Gloria never expected Levi to be so confident with his abilities that he did not bring Ancient Divine Sword with him to North Pavilion.
It shows how confident he is with his powers. However, he is wasting such a great treasure!
Chapter 3329 It Is Only A Tool
Why didn’t he use Ancient Divine Sword? Isn’t it a waste to put it here?
Gloria did not know that the sword was nothing more than a killing tool to Levi.
He did not gain his power or abilities through the sword.
Furthermore, he could easily replace the sword with a rock or a leaf in his attacks.
He could even turn tea into a weapon.
Furthermore, who could understand the extent of Levi’s abilities?
What others regarded as a treasure was worthless to Levi.
Gloria’s eyes gleamed with desire as she looked at God Crusher.
She felt tempted by the sword and wanted to take it for herself.
That was understandable. How could anyone not be tempted when a legendary sword was within their reach?
Gloria’s breath quickened, and her face became flushed.
She felt an urge to grab the sword and keep it for herself.
However, she forced herself to resist the temptation.
I must not act rashly! Now is not the right time! I have to wait for the right opportunity to steal the sword and obtain Forlevia’s spiritual bone. Now is not the right time because I have not made any backup plans. Levi could destroy me if I do anything to Forlevia now. I can’t face him yet. Thus, I need to plan every step carefully.
Still, Gloria believed what she found out was favorable to her.
Looking at how Levi had tossed God Crusher aside, she knew Levi did not care much for it.
She believed that he hardly ever looked for the sword.
It meant that she could steal the sword easily.
Levi would likely not discover it for a long time if she secretly switched the sword with a replica.
The sword shall be mine one day! It seems I still need to rely on Floyd!
Therefore, Gloria strongly resisted the urge to steal and decided to wait until she had a good plan.
After that, she observed Levi’s private quarter carefully.
By now, Gloria had already discovered a few important places in the base.
Then, she left Levi’s private quarter and explored other areas.
She memorized the surroundings and the paths.
Once Gloria felt that she had discovered every secret in the base, she finally left with satisfaction.
Since I have discovered everything about this place, it will be easier for me to carry out my plan. Wait for me, and I will return here eventually! Then, I will take the sword and transplant the spiritual bone.
Levi returned to the base soon after Gloria left.
He felt something strange the moment he stepped in.
It wasn’t Gloria’s aura that set off his senses.
After all, Gloria was careful to remove traces of her aura and presence.
However, Levi’s instinct told him that someone was there.
Something is not right!
No one would come to this place other than Levi and the people close to him.
However, he could not shake off the feeling that someone was there earlier.
“Hmm, this is strange.” Levi frowned as he tried to figure out what was wrong.
“Master, you have returned!” Floyd immediately came to welcome Levi.
“Hmm, why do I feel that someone had entered here?” From the moment Levi returned to the base, he kept feeling that an outsider had entered the place.
Thus, he brought up his suspicion to Floyd.
Floyd immediately became nervous.
Luckily, Gloria only came to the outside of the base. She did not enter here.
Floyd took a deep breath.
Initially, I planned to let Gloria enter the base, but she refused, fearing it would cause problems. It seems Gloria has good sense. Luckily, she did not come in. Otherwise, Master would have noticed it. Then, I won’t be able to explain it to him.
Floyd explained quickly, “After I found out you have left, I was worried that Forlevia could be in danger. Therefore, I checked the surrounding. Perhaps I left behind traces of my aura. I have been standing guard here all this while. Thus, I can confirm that no one has come in.”
“Oh, I feel assured that you are here,” Levi replied.
Levi trusted Floyd and thought that he did everything well.
Perhaps, I am too paranoid and anxious.
With that, Levi did not question the matter again.
Chapter 3330 The Stronger He Gets
“Master, the identity of these men in black robes is easy to find. The slightly more experienced members of the Ecclesiastic Order would know. I’ve already found their identity. They’re the Ecclesiastic Order’s foe, Invincible Clan.”
Floyd immediately handed the relevant information Gloria gave him to Levi.
Levi did not doubt the information at all.
After all, I heard about them from the Three Sages of North Pavilion, and many members of the Ecclesiastic Order knew about the identity of the men in black robes. But, they didn’t dare to tell me. It isn’t anything shocking that Floyd managed to find out about them.
“Master, I’ve already found out the identity of the men in black robes, but I got nothing on the sky-devouring python totem. I supposed not many know about that since they’ve never even seen it before,” Floyd said regretfully.
“I already knew about these men’s identities and the sky-devouring python totem. I’ll just continue my investigation,” Levi said casually.
“What? You’re awesome, Master! So that was the reason you went to North Pavilion?” Floyd exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Gloria returned to Sonja and the others’ holding cell.
The trio was stunned.
She shouldn’t be back so quickly. Shouldn’t she be divvying up North Pavilion at the moment? What’s going on?
“You people of North Pavilion just won’t die. Someone has saved North Pavilion,” Gloria drawled as her gaze met theirs.
“What?”
Hope and joy blossomed within the trio at the news.
“The North Pavilion is fine!” they cheered.
“Yeah, that’s right. Levi went to North Pavilion to ask the Three Sages about the culprit’s whereabouts when he coincidentally met with the crisis North Pavilion was facing and conveniently resolved it.”
“What? Levi?”
The trio never thought Levi would solve the crisis in North Pavilion.
He truly was their only hope.
“I have to say Levi is too strong. He’s stronger than the Three Sages. Do you know how they got hurt? He was the one who hurt them.
“I can guess the reason. The Five Pavilions and other major factions have talented and genius members. Each elder has their pride and joy serving them, all except for North Pavilion. The Three Sages had their eyes on Levi and wanted to recruit him as their disciple, but got beaten up instead.”
Gloria began droning on about how amazing Levi was.
However, Sonja couldn’t hold in her chuckle. “Gloria, things won’t be good for you if Levi is that powerful. The stronger he is, the harder it’ll be for you to implement your schemes.”
That was another happy occasion for the trio.
Suddenly, Gloria stabbed her sword into Kato’s body.
The wound was deep as Gloria didn’t have mercy when she stabbed. Kato clenched his teeth to stop himself from showing any weakness.
Panic struck his other two companions.
“Is that true? You’re right. Things won’t be good for me if Levi gets stronger, but I like challenges. I’ll show you how I take down Levi with one attack and attain the things I want.
“I’ll tell you the truth. I took a stroll around Levi’s base camp earlier, so I had a gust of where everything was. I even noticed Ancient Divine Sword thrown in a corner somewhere. I can’t believe he simply threw it like junk. I’ll wait for my opportunity to exchange the sword with a fake.”
“You!”
The trio was infuriated upon hearing her plan.
“Also, I’ll slowly lay my plans out, then strengthen myself to reach the highest level of Forlevia’s technique. I’ll be able to make my move that way. After I transplant Forlevia’s spiritual bone into my body, Levi won’t be able to do anything to me.”
Her crazy words sounded preposterous, but Sonja was sure Gloria would do it. She was too powerful in every aspect.
“Oh, right. Levi should already know who the culprit is. Soon, the Invincible Clan will have him pinned down. My chance is almost here! I won’t kill you. I want you to watch me defeat Levi!” Gloria laughed maniacally.
