Ch. 3641..3650
Chapter 3641 Floyd Has Been Used Again
“They are here!” Shortly after, Floyd sensed the arrival of several foreign auras. His figure leaped into the air and hurried toward the location where he sensed the auras.
Indeed, Floyd saw Sonja and the other two running ahead at full speed, looking all disheveled. “Oh, it’s Floyd. We’re saved!” Sonja was elated when she spotted Floyd.
To her, Floyd was Levi’s most valued disciple. Telling Floyd the truth would be akin to telling Levi the truth.
They would protect her, and she would be safe under their protection.
“Floyd, Gloria is the leader of the Glorian Order!”
“Yes, she stole the God Crusher. We saw her doing that with our own eyes.”
“Gloria was also behind Top Ten’s kidnapping. She then blamed it on Mr. Garrison.”
Sonja and the other two revealed everything they knew to Floyd honestly.
Soon, they realized Floyd wasn’t shocked or delighted after hearing what they had to say.
In fact, he was eerily calm, as though he knew everything prior to their reveal.
An ominous feeling rose in their hearts.
Sonja said sternly, “Floyd, bring me to Mr. Garrison now. We have something important to report to him.”
“Trash like you who blabber nonsense don’t get to see my master whenever you want!” Floyd sneered.
Gloria had already told him what Sonja and the other two would say, so he wasn’t surprised at all.
They are indeed framing Gloria. Her guess was right.
Floyd couldn’t help but admire how smart Gloria was.
He was proud to have her as his girlfriend.
“Floyd, what are you talking about?” Kato demanded crossly.
Ralph glared at Floyd icily as it was pretty obvious something was wrong.
Did Gloria have full control over Floyd?
“Floyd, we’re telling the truth. Gloria had been torturing us all the while. Master Eusof and the Top Ten were also tortured by her. You can find them and ask them whether it’s true,” Sonja said urgently.
Floyd snickered. “How dare you lie to me? Gloria isn’t even that strong. Master Eusof can defeat her easily. There is no way Gloria can keep him imprisoned.”
Sonja was flustered. “Floyd, you’ve been tricked by her. You have no idea how powerful she is now.”
Floyd refused to believe them. “I have my own judgment. You’re not in the place to criticize me.”
He was pretty confident as he had tested Gloria’s strength previously.
Back then, he managed to hurt Gloria even though he only used around forty percent of his strength.
If Gloria were that powerful, she would’ve retaliated instead of allowing him to subdue her.
“Floyd, you’re beyond saving. Gloria devoured two deviant clans’ spiritual ley lines. She’s more formidable than you can ever imagine.” Kato’s voice was solemn as he said, “It’s pretty easy for her to trick you with the power she possesses.”
“Yes, Floyd. We saw how strong Gloria was. If you don’t trust us, you can talk to Master Eusof. Gloria had devoured his energy, and he won’t have to lie to you,” Ralph chimed in.
Sonja and the other two promptly sensed the hostility emanating from Floyd.
“Master Eusof? If you’re that capable, why don’t you ask him to come here and prove your innocence?” Floyd mocked.
Suddenly, comprehension dawned on Sonja.
“Floyd, did Gloria contact you before our arrival?” she asked.
“Yes, that’s right. If Gloria didn’t warn me beforehand, I wouldn’t know you’d be this despicable to slander her!”
Sonja’s expression turned as dark as thunder.
Chapter 3642 You Are Mine
I knew it. It looks like Gloria has justified herself ahead of time. “Floyd, this is the truth. I can’t do anything if you refuse to believe me. I insist on meeting Mr. Garrison. I believe he’ll make the correct judgment.”
Sonja had a change of plans as it was useless to continue arguing with Floyd. Offending him might cause things to backfire on them.
We need to figure out a way to meet Levi.
“Dream on! I won’t let you meet Master,” Floyd declared.
That was his plan. After all, Levi would definitely grow suspicious after hearing their words.
That would counteract his plan of introducing Gloria to everyone as soon as possible.
Before resolving the misunderstandings, Floyd wouldn’t allow anyone to bring harm to Gloria.
“What do you want?” Ralph snapped.
He was about to lose his temper.
In fact, Ralph would’ve lashed out if he was at his peak.
Floyd mocked, “You tried to slander Gloria, so I shall leave it to her to deal with you.”
“You…” Sonja’s face paled instantly.
They had barely escaped danger but ended up falling into another trap.
“Sonja, we shall stall Floyd. You need to find a way to get into the base and ask to meet Mr. Garrison,” Kato announced.
He came up with another plan on the spot. Floyd refused to trust them, so they had to resort to another plan.
They would be safe as long as they could meet Levi.
“Trash like you won’t be able to stop me. You don’t know your place, huh?”
Having said that, Floyd unleashed his power.
His power was so exceptional that Sonja and the other two felt their hearts sink.
Is Floyd actually this strong?
The trio grew devastated. They wouldn’t be Floyd’s match even if they were at their peaks.
He was out for blood, so they didn’t stand a chance against him.
“Leave, Sonja!” Kato and Ralph dashed ahead fearlessly, doing their best to stop Floyd from advancing so Sonja would get the chance to flee the scene.
“You’re nothing but a bunch of weaklings. Your struggles shall prove futile!” Floyd declared.
He shot out and delivered two punches calmly.
Kato and Ralph were sent flying and crashed to the ground, sustaining severe injuries.
If Gloria didn’t remind Floyd to spare their lives, his punches would’ve killed them instantly.
Before Sonja could flee, Floyd’s figure showed up behind her.
“You can’t leave,” he announced icily.
Sonja’s expression changed drastically. Her survival instincts kicked in, and she was about to run, but Floyd took action swiftly by knocking her out.
Sonja promptly blacked out and fell to the ground limply.
Floyd tied them three together before pulling out his communication device to contact Gloria.
Oh, I can’t believe this trash is still useful.
Gloria was delighted to learn that the three of them had been subdued. She then suggested meeting Floyd in a secluded area.
Without hesitation, Floyd brought Sonja and the other two to the location as agreed.
Shortly after, he arrived and found Gloria waiting there patiently.
“Gloria, I’ve captured these people who tried to slander you. Don’t worry. They didn’t see anyone before they bumped into me,” Floyd declared proudly.
Pretending to be touched, Gloria replied shyly, “Thank you, Floyd. Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to clear my name.”
“You’re my girlfriend, so this is what I should do,” Floyd told her adoringly.
He was filled with bliss to receive her acknowledgment.
Chapter 3643 Going Against The World For You
“Floyd, Gloria is lying to you. Wake up!” Sonja and the other two regained consciousness. They kept badmouthing Gloria on the way here. Finding them annoying, Floyd knocked them all out.
“Floyd, you’re a fool. Gloria’s fooling around with you!” “Gloria, drop the act and reveal your true strength!” Both Kato and Ralph yelled out loud.
The three of them were on the verge of despair. They exhausted their strengths and finally escaped prison, but Floyd brought them back to Gloria.
It wouldn’t take much to imagine how Gloria would torture them later.
Sonja and the other two felt a shiver go down their spines when they recalled their days in prison.
“Gloria, they won’t see reason. I think you can kill them directly,” Floyd said sternly.
Sighing, Gloria replied, “The leader of the Glorian Order had a perfect plan. I don’t blame them for trusting her lies. I can clarify things later. We should spare their lives for now. I will explain everything so they wouldn’t be used by the leader.”
Floyd heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. He was actually trying to sound Gloria out, so what he said was partly false.
He would suspect her intentions if Gloria agreed to kill Sonja and the other two.
As Gloria remained considerate, Floyd knew he was right to trust her completely.
“Gloria, drop the act. How could you be this disgusting? Did you forget how you cursed Floyd back in prison? You said he’s nothing but trash and a simp. Your techniques originated from Evie. If you dare, show them to us now!”
Sonja, Ralph, and Kato didn’t stop trying to make Floyd come to his senses.
Gloria pretended to be upset and declared, “I don’t mind it if you insult me, for you’ve been tricked. But I won’t allow you to come between Floyd and me. If you don’t stop, don’t blame me for taking action!”
Hearing her words, Floyd was touched.
He had no idea Gloria would defend him.
“You little shits. If Gloria hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve killed you earlier!” Floyd snarled.
Sonja continued, “Gloria wants us alive so you won’t suspect her. She also wants us to witness her growth. Floyd, you have no idea how crazy she is.”
“Shut up!” Floyd appeared before them in a flash and slapped them several times in a row.
As a result, Sonja and the others blacked out from the force of his slaps.
“Gloria, they are finally quiet now.” Floyd gazed at Gloria adoringly. “Don’t worry. I’m here, and no one can lay a hand on you. I’m willing to go against the entire world just to stay by your side to protect and love you. Gloria, you’re everything to me.”
“Floyd, I trust you.” Gloria bit back her distaste and rested her head on his shoulder.
Floyd was so moved by her action that he teared up.
He vowed inwardly to protect this kind and compassionate woman.
No one can slander Gloria. Not even Master!
Floyd spent some time with Gloria whispering sweet nothings to her before leaving her reluctantly.
When his figure disappeared from sight, a malicious smile flitted across Gloria’s lips.
She couldn’t help but recall Floyd’s mushy words and shuddered in repulsion. It took her a while to regain her composure.
“Master Eusof, you’re the only person left. I wonder where you could be.” Her gaze turned vicious.
Floyd made his way back to the base happily.
After he caught Sonja and her companions, Gloria thanked him and acknowledged his efforts.
That gave Floyd an immense sense of satisfaction.
If this goes on, Gloria will definitely fall head over heels in love with me!
Chapter 3644 Being Annoying
We shall be a match made in heaven, envied by everyone. At the same time, Phoenix and the like were asking around in confusion. According to their informant, Sonja and the others were seen heading to the base.
However, they were tracking Sonja and the others down when the latter suddenly disappeared without a trail. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
Phoenix and the rest immediately started a search all over the mountains.
“Floyd suddenly took charge of the perimeter defense of the base. Do you think he knows something about Sonja and the others’ disappearance?” Azure Dragon asked with a frown.
Sonja and her companions would be able to reveal the identity of the mysterious leader of the Glorian Order.
However, the important clue disappeared right outside the base. It was natural for Phoenix and the others to feel exasperated.
“Oh, speak of the devil. Let’s ask him about it,” Phoenix said and pointed at Floyd, who was whistling as he walked back to the base.
“Floyd, I’m glad to see you here. Our informant told us that Sonja and the other two were heading back to the base. You’re in charge of the perimeter defense tonight. Did you discover anything strange?” Phoenix went straight to the topic.
The rest observed Floyd carefully as they waited for his answer.
It was customary to change the person in charge urgently, but Floyd disappeared after being assigned the job.
That was not normal at all. As the person in charge of the perimeter defense, how could he desert his post?
Why did he even ask to be in charge of the post?
“N-No.” Floyd quickly gave his answer after his initial shock.
Actually, Floyd felt slightly guilty. Gloria might’ve explained everything to him, but the matter had yet to be clarified.
If he revealed the truth, Phoenix and the others would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Levi might even believe them if they used it as evidence to report him.
“Really?” Azure Dragon probed. He had noticed the glint of panic in Floyd’s eyes.
Floyd forced himself to calm down and met Azure Dragon’s gaze. “I left to search for Sonja and the rest. However, I didn’t find any traces of them even after a thorough search. Could your subordinate be wrong?”
He was adamant, so Phoenix and the rest were helpless.
“Now that you’re back, you can be in charge of the perimeter defense. I’m tired after working hard the entire night,” Floyd told them and turned to leave.
Right then, Phoenix’s communication device rang.
His informant informed him of the latest update—Sonja and the other two had been captured by the Glorian Order.
After receiving the news, Phoenix and the rest immediately suspected Floyd.
The panic that flashed across Floyd’s eyes earlier didn’t escape their notice.
Without hesitation, Phoenix blocked Floyd’s path and questioned harshly, “Floyd, be honest with us. Did you see Sonja and her companions? We just received news that they had been captured by the Glorian Order again.”
Deep down, Floyd was flustered.
Nevertheless, he insisted, “Stop being annoying! I didn’t see Sonja!”
Phoenix sighed inwardly. She couldn’t do anything as Floyd was being obstinate.
After they left, Floyd was filled with confusion.
He immediately contacted Gloria and asked her about it.
This time, Gloria responded pretty quickly.
“Floyd, I don’t know anything. After I explained things to them, I released them. If you don’t trust me, you can ask the disciples from West Pavilion. They saw me releasing Sonja and the rest,” she revealed in an innocent but aggrieved voice.
Hearing that, Floyd felt his heart ache for her. As he comforted her, the suspicion in his heart faded away.
If this has nothing to do with Gloria, why did Phoenix and the others keep accusing her?
Floyd was rather annoyed by how Phoenix and the others doubted and suspected Gloria.
How could they question me earlier? It’s obvious they suspect me!
Chapter 3645 Another Trump Card For Levi
Levi had no idea what happened back in the base. He was focused on metamorphosing with the help of the remedial ley line. The remedial ley line was capable of nourishing one’s body and veins, so Levi’s power increased to a new level.
Going into seclusion, he focused on nothing but cultivation for several days and finally completed his metamorphosis. By then, Levi could sense the rampage of energy in his body. Even his veins were more flexible now.
It felt amazing as though he had gotten himself a new body. After Levi came out of his solitary training, Chad grinned and commented, “There is still quite a lot of energy left in the remedial ley line. I thought you’d use them up.”
“I’ve completed the metamorphosis, so using the remedial ley line further would be a waste.”
Levi was pleased by the results of the metamorphosis. Chuckling, he added, “I want to bring a few more people here so they could increase their energy.”
Chad’s lips twitched, for he assumed he could use the remaining energy to cultivate some magical medicine.
He had no idea Levi wanted to bring the others here after increasing his strength.
“You win!”
Chad felt it was time to find a spiritual ley line so he could cultivate his magical medicine.
Soon, Levi brought Wynona, Mia, and Cyrus to the remedial ley line without alerting anyone.
The three of them went into solitary training.
The remedial ley line with a nourishing effect was perfect for increasing their strengths.
Before this, Levi had brought them to the other two spiritual ley lines to undergo metamorphosis.
After getting nourished by the remedial ley line, Wynona and the other two improved considerably and had achieved the next level.
In fact, their combat prowess was at its peak.
That was the advantage of Levi’s technique.
Its advantage couldn’t be seen within a short time, but if one were to persist, one’s power would grow more potent than the extreme devouring technique.
Most importantly, the cultivation technique would give the cultivators a solid foundation and allow for more room for improvement.
Wynona and the other two had experienced a metamorphosis in three super-spiritual ley lines, so they managed to break through to the next level.
“You can be independent now. Even if the Glorian Order has its eyes on me, I won’t feel like I have a lot on my plate anymore,” Levi declared in relief.
Wynona and the others were delighted, too. They knew the base’s situation well.
The Glorian Order had set its eyes on the base, and the Ecclesiastic Order was going to make a comeback soon without stating its attitude.
Besides, there was a possibility that a spy was on the base.
Levi had to shoulder all the stress.
Wynona and her companions wanted to be of help, but they weren’t capable enough to do so previously.
Now that they were stronger, it was time for them to share Levi’s burden.
“Even if the Glorian Order works together with the Ecclesiastic Order after the latter’s comeback, I’m not afraid at all,” Levi declared confidently.
His strength had improved considerably, and he now had three powerful subordinates who would be a great help to him.
Levi couldn’t help but regret that he couldn’t bring Bruno and the others to metamorphose here.
It was too eye-catching to ask too many people to leave the base.
Once the Glorian Order realized it, they most probably would take advantage of the situation and launch an attack.
Otherwise, those eighty men could become Levi’s strongest aides.
“Let’s go back to the base!” Levi ordered.
He then led Wynona and the others to hurry back to the base.
Of course, Levi didn’t forget to remind them to keep their swift progress a secret.
No one was to know about this, for they would be Levi’s biggest trump cards.
The leader of the Glorian Order must be thinking that she has complete control over me. I shall let her feel that way. Wynona and the other two shall pull off a surprise when there is a battle. They might even play a decisive role in deciding the trend of the war.
The moment Levi arrived at the base, he received a huge surprise.
Chapter 3646 The Sealed Super Spiritual Ley Line
Good news came from Digital God, his best friend. Since they last bade goodbye to each other, Digital God remained in Xyperia to continue his own research.
During his research, Digital God discovered a sealed-off super-spiritual ley line in the plains of Elterton in Xyperia. Oh, great. Luck is truly on my side this time! Levi was elated.
He was able to increase his strength again. Back at the base, someone reported the recent updates to Levi.
Master Eusof is still at large, so the Glorian Order is busy trying to find him. I can take advantage of the situation and use the super-spiritual ley line to increase my strength.
Having made up his mind, Levi told his men to release news that the base and Levi’s subordinates would do their best to save Eusof.
The moment the news broke, it sent a shockwave through the world.
Back at Corpse Pit, which was the Glorian Order’s headquarters, Gloria’s brows snapped together when she heard the news.
“What? Levi ordered his men to do their best to save Master Eusof?”
Her stress level was truly off the charts.
At that moment, the various forces of the Ecclesiastic Order remained at the base. None of them dared to take action.
If nothing were to go wrong, and they could still continue with the search, Gloria was pretty confident that they would capture Eusof in the near future.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Levi to interfere halfway.
After all, Levi’s subordinates and the forces working for him were pretty complicated.
Compared to the Ecclesiastic Order, Gloria hadn’t infiltrated Levi’s forces that deep yet.
Thus, Gloria couldn’t get to know Levi’s subordinates’ whereabouts in detail.
As a result, she had difficulty coming up with preemptive measures against Levi’s plans.
Once Levi’s men rescued Eusof, it would be akin to the Ecclesiastic Order taking action.
When Thundera made a comeback, they would definitely join hands.
Both Gloria and the Glorian Order would be under enormous pressure. In fact, their lives would be at risk.
“I won’t allow that to happen!” Gloria vowed and balled up her fists.
She then left to join the search for Eusof.
Alas, Gloria had no idea it was all Levi’s plan to divert her attention.
When the Glorian Order and Gloria were busy with the search operation to arrest Eusof, Levi left the base secretly with Wynona and the other two.
They hurried to Xyperia to meet Digital God.
The latter brought them to the super-spiritual ley line without further delay.
“My brand new detector discovered the super-spiritual ley line, but some sort of superpower sealed it off. According to my analysis, it should’ve been sealed off to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, or it could be that someone wanted to hide it from the world,” Digital God revealed.
Arching a brow, Levi asked, “You mean someone sealed it off deliberately?”
“Yes. Someone powerful must’ve sealed off this terrifying super-spiritual ley line. I wonder who it could be,” Digital God marveled.
Without hesitation, Levi unleashed his power to check it out.
His horrifying power spread everywhere and soon detected the energy layer sealing the super-spiritual ley line.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Levi hit it a few times, but the energy layer managed to ward off his attacks.
The grounds around the super-spiritual ley line trembled violently.
The energy layer is exceptionally strong!
Levi’s expression grew grim.
Despite having unleashed only around thirty percent of his strength, he knew the attack was actually equal to a full strike before his metamorphosis. After all, he had increased his energy from three super-spiritual ley lines.
He couldn’t believe that the energy layer had managed to crush his attack.
Most importantly, the energy layer didn’t even sustain any damage.
Who had the power to form this energy layer? Is there such a powerful but unknown presence in this world?
“So? Can you destroy the seal?” Digital God asked.
Levi’s lips curled. “Stay out of the way. Watch as I destroy it with one punch.”
Chapter 3647 I Chose The Right Person
Levi gathered his power and delivered a blow at the super-spiritual ley line’s protective energy shield. This time, Levi did not hold back. As the powerful energies collided, the surrounding ground trembled.
Crack! Cracks emerged on the shield, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye. After some time, it shattered completely, and condensed spiritual energy filled the vicinity.
Levi dusted his hands and said to Wynona and the others, “Okay. Let’s not waste time and begin metamorphosing now!” “Wow. This spiritual ley line is more powerful than the one in Atlantis’ underwater project!” Wynona exclaimed.
Levi had realized that as well. The spiritual ley line in front of them was crimson red, like blood.
On top of that, the concentration of the spiritual energy was way denser than the one in the underwater project.
“All the more reason to seize the opportunity and cultivate,” Levi urged.
Based on his observation of the spiritual energy, Levi was worried the leak of the spiritual energy might attract the shield maker’s attention.
Hence, Wynona and the others nodded, immediately channeling their basic technique and began metamorphosing.
Similarly, Levi sat cross-legged and wielded his technique faster than the others.
Immediately, red spiritual energy could be seen flowing into Levi’s body at an incredible speed.
He continued perfecting his body and refining his veins.
In the meantime, Digital God was in charge of keeping an eye outside to prevent the enemies from interrupting their cultivation.
Meanwhile, Floyd had been going all out to locate Eusof ever since Levi gave orders to rescue the latter.
Floyd only had one motive for doing so—to clear Gloria’s name.
From Floyd’s point of view, Eusof was different from Sonja and the others.
With his identity and capabilities, Eusof would not ignore the facts and simply make accusations.
Unfortunately, just as Floyd was immersed in locating Eusof’s whereabouts, the former suddenly received a text from Gloria.
It read: Floyd, I have an emergency. Let’s meet at the usual place.
There was a sense of urgency in Gloria’s words.
It gave Floyd the urge to appear instantly by Gloria’s side in order to find out the situation.
When he turned up at their rendezvous, Gloria spoke to him in a gentle tone. Even her gaze had hints of affection and dependence.
It made Floyd feel great. The idea of becoming more important to Gloria made him happy.
“Did something happen, Gloria? Why did you call me over so urgently?” Floyd asked concernedly.
Gloria responded grimly, “The pressure from the Glorian Order has caused the Holy Guild to send out all kinds of powerful organizations to look for Master Eusof. Since I’m outside of the Glorian Order’s circle, the task is assigned to me as well. The thing is, the Glorian Order has too many elites. I can’t deal with all of them. Floyd, I really need your help this time. Then again, this is a very dangerous task. If you… Well, I won’t blame you for it.”
Pity flooded Floyd’s heart when he saw her sorrowful expression. Without hesitation, he agreed to her request, “What are you saying, Gloria? You’re my woman. There’s no reason for me not to help you, no matter how dangerous it is. Besides, my powers have risen to impressive heights. I’m confident I’ll win every fight, even if I’m my opponent’s Xylas. Don’t worry. I’ll inform you right away when I hear anything related to Master Eusof.”
Floyd was brimming with confidence. Lately, he had constantly been devouring energy, and his cultivation level had risen to another level.
Gloria’s eyes lit up, and she stared at him admiringly. “I knew I chose the right person. You’re the most reliable in crucial times like this.”
Her words made him feel as though he was on cloud nine.
Floyd could not help but think of the past when Gloria distanced herself from him and even treated him coldly.
During that time, Floyd was utterly heartbroken because of her treatment.
And now, things had changed so drastically, and he had finally become someone Gloria could rely on.
Chapter 3648 Floyd Is Lost
“Don’t worry, Gloria. As long as Master Eusof is found, all suspicion against you will be cleared. After that, I’ll bring you to the base and let everyone know about our relationship. No one will spout nonsense anymore,” Floyd uttered ambitiously.
However, all Gloria felt was disgust. Do you have no shame? How can a piece of trash like you have the guts to say such a thing?
Unfortunately, with the current situation, Gloria had no choice but to force herself to lie through her teeth, “Floyd, I’m looking forward to that day, too.”
With cautiousness written all over her face, Gloria continued, “I’m tired of being misunderstood.”
Floyd said sternly, “They’re idiots for misunderstanding you. I’ve always believed you were innocent. Once we find Master Eusof, the truth will be revealed. I’ll slaughter anyone who dares to slander you after that.”
“I feel much at ease hearing this from you.” Gloria paused for a while and asked suddenly, “Floyd, what if your master still has a prejudice against me even after the misunderstanding is cleared? Are you really going to take the risk and kill your master?”
“Uh…” Floyd stiffened. In that split second, he suddenly felt a murderous intent surging in his heart.
That feeling shocked him to the core.
“Haha! I’m joking! Do you really think I’m that unreasonable?” Gloria said with a mischievous grin.
Though she sensed nothing unusual on the surface, she could feel his murderous intent from a while ago.
It looks like my earlier plan wasn’t an unreachable dream after all. I’ll make sure to find the right moment to instigate him in the future. Perhaps Floyd might come in useful.
At that thought, Gloria gazed at Floyd more expectantly.
“Gloria, you almost gave me a heart attack.” Floyd let out a huge sigh.
Despite him saying that, evil thoughts were still brewing in his mind.
He even imagined himself falling out with Levi if that day really came.
Of course, that would only happen if Levi still slandered Gloria, regardless of the evidence.
“Okay. The clock is ticking. I should make use of every second to look for Master Eusof. The longer the delay, the more danger he is in. Let’s keep in touch, Floyd. Remember, don’t make any rash decisions once you hear something about Master Eusof. The Glorian Order is too powerful.” Gloria paused for a moment before saying affectionately, “I’m worried you’ll be in danger. Besides, Master Eusof has a strange character and isn’t easy to get along with. If you really upset him, he might behave oddly.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll notify you right away.” Floyd was filled with bliss to receive her concern.
What he did not know was that Gloria was already brainwashing him with her last sentence.
If Floyd were to really encounter Eusof first and the latter were to claim facts such as Gloria being the lord of the Glorian Order, Floyd would think that Eusof was probably behaving oddly.
“Okay. Please stay safe. I’m going to carry out my task now.” With that, Gloria turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Floyd watched Gloria leave with a look of infatuation.
The thought of how Gloria was entrusting him with such an important responsibility after all the cold treatment back then made him happy.
“That’s the benefit of being powerful. It looks like I’ve got to continue working hard to cultivate. That way, Gloria will trust me and acknowledge my powers more. I might even have more say in the base and in Master’s presence,” Floyd mumbled to himself.
At that moment, Floyd had practically lost himself, trying to gain Gloria’s acknowledgment.
He was extremely eager to improve himself that he did not mind devouring a fighter’s abilities.
He was willing to do anything as long as he could become more powerful.
Chapter 3649 Kenfort
Just as everyone in the Holy Guild was busy locating Eusof, they received another piece of news from Thundera. He was returning in two days.
At the same time, the news also informed them of the arrival of some powerful people. One of them was the elder of Bluesky Sect, which Thundera joined. The former’s cultivation level had already attained perfection.
Even with the powers of the Holy Guild’s three ministers combined, they were not a tenth of his.
And though Thundera had been cultivating for many years in the legendary world, he still could not last ten rounds under the elder’s attack.
This time, the elder’s purpose for tagging along with Bluesky Sect’s young master was to train his physical and mental state.
At the same time, he wanted to help resolve the Ecclesiastic Order’s problem.
“That’s scary. How can the three ministers’ powers not even reach a tenth of that supreme being’s?”
“Master Thundera was already invincible even before the search for the legendary world began.”
“So, the legendary world is called Kenfort. Wow. Even the name sounds immortal.”
“Don’t forget about the young master of Bluesky Sect. I bet there’ll be other elders coming along, too.”
“With so many powerful people overseeing us, Levi and the Glorian Order will be nothing but pests.”
The Ecclesiastic Order broke out into cheers, feeling as if they could finally breathe with ease again.
Soon, the Glorian Order learned about the news.
Since Eusof was still not found, everyone from the Glorian order at the Corpse Pit felt more stressed. Even the depressing atmosphere that hung in the air became more intense.
“Continue expanding the search. We must not let Master Eusof return to the Ecclesiastic Order! All of you are allowed to kill him whenever necessary!” Gloria yelled.
“Understood!” the Glorian Order’s followers responded fearfully.
Gloria’s anger had not dissipated yet. Hence, she went straight to the dungeon, where Top Ten, Sonja, and the others were nailed to wooden frames.
Specially made chains passed through the bones of their limbs, giving them excruciating pain by merely hanging them up.
All the continuous tortures they had endured over the past few days had them on the brink of death.
Even so, Gloria did not kill them. In fact, she even fed them elixirs to keep them alive.
“Gloria, just… Just kill me already. Please give me a quick death. Aren’t you the powerful one? Come on. Punch me in the head!” Sonja’s voice was weak and hoarse.
The others, too, suggested other ways to beg to be killed.
Gloria was already annoyed in the first place. When she heard the prisoners’ clamors, her rage intensified. “Shut up, all of you! Do you want to die? Too bad. It’s not that easy!”
She then took out a steel whip covered with the special drug she had formulated, which would double the victim’s pain.
“Tell me Master Eusof’s whereabouts now!” she demanded, whipping her victims.
Crack!
“What are you glaring at?” she fumed.
Crack! Crack!
“A group of trash! I’m going to make your lives a living hell!” she yelled again.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Ear-piercing screams filled the dungeon every time Gloria swung her whip.
Soon, the Top Ten and Sonja passed out.
“Make them drink this! This will keep them awake to enjoy the whipping,” Gloria ordered, making her subordinates pour her specially formulated drug down the prisoners’ throats.
Not long after, her prisoners woke up again.
“Gloria, I’ll never tell you his whereabouts, even if I knew where Master Eusof is!” Sonja shouted, enduring the agonizing pain.
“Well, let’s hope you can keep up this stubborn attitude.” Gloria took out a dagger and made a few slashes on Sonja’s face.
After that, she applied some poisonous powder to the wounds.
Fizz!
As soon as the powder touched Sonja’s skin, the areas around the wounds corroded and turned black.
They corroded so much that her bones were slightly exposed.
“Ah!” Sonja screamed in pain and fainted.
“Go on! Continue being stubborn!” Gloria said, smirking.
Then, she continued using all kinds of methods to torture the others.
Chapter 3650 Foolproof
In the meantime, Eusof was munching on wild fruits to satisfy his hunger in a hidden cave among the woods. After all, he used magical medicines to restore his powers, which were not as intense as true cultivation.
On top of that, fighting and escaping for several days in a row had exhausted him. Despite that, Eusof was thrilled when he heard the Glorian Order’s members talking about Levi dispatching all his forces to rescue him.
Back then, his only option was to rush back to the Ecclesiastic Order. This time, however, he could also head to Levi’s base.
If one were to compare those two forces, Levi’s would definitely be the better option. Eusof would be safer there.
“Levi’s effect of participation is amazing. The Glorian Order’s search is not as tight as before,” Eusof muttered to himself.
After observing the surroundings, he quickly made his way to Levi’s base.
Along the way, he encountered several obstructions from the followers of the Glorian Order. Thankfully, their abilities were on the average side.
After killing his way out, he ran all the way to his destination.
It took him about four hours to reach the base.
“This is it,” he mumbled.
Eusof eyed the cluster of buildings in the distance. It was Levi’s base.
“Who is it?” Eusof asked suddenly.
Before he could let down his guard, he sensed someone spying on him.
“Are you Master Eusof?”
With that, Floyd stepped out of the darkness.
Seeing Eusof was about to attack, Floyd quickly explained, “Don’t worry. I’m Levi’s disciple, Floyd. I’m sure you’ve heard of us before.”
Ever since the meetup with Gloria, Floyd had been searching around the grounds near the base.
To his surprise, he sensed an unfamiliar yet strong presence while conducting an energy search that night.
Hence, he hurried over, only to be surprised to have actually found his target.
Eusof heaved a sigh of relief and said smilingly, “Oh, you’re Mr. Garrison’s disciple. Yes, I’ve heard of you. I’m indeed Eusof. Please lead me back to your base.”
Eusof immediately felt relieved. He had not expected to stumble into Levi’s head disciple.
Entering the base with Floyd would make things easier for Eusof. In fact, the latter could meet Levi or the others who were closest to Levi right away.
That way, he would be safe.
At the thought of that, Eusof couldn’t help but reveal a wider smile.
“I need to make a report first. I’m sure you know it’s a time of unique circumstances. Everything must be handled carefully. Surely you’re not in a hurry?” Floyd informed solemnly.
Eusof nodded in understanding.
After all, the Glorian Order was currently powerful. Since everyone in the base was Levi’s family and friends, it was only right for them to be informed beforehand.
Otherwise, the whole purpose of implementing layers of defenses would be pointless if anyone could walk in and out as they wished.
Alas, what Eusof did not know was that Floyd had first sent the news to Gloria.
After that, he informed Forlevia, Phoenix, Levi, and the others for backup.
Floyd could not help but feel that his plan this time was foolproof.
All my efforts will be wasted if we encounter the elites of the Glorian Order along the way and fail to defeat the other party.
With a serious expression, Floyd informed, “Master Eusof, the base might look near, but the elites of the Glorian Order are all over the place. It’s best for us to wait for backup before beginning our journey. I’ve already informed the base’s elites to come over. Let’s go into hiding for now.”
“As expected from Mr. Garrison’s favorite disciple. You do things rigorously. I’m impressed!” Eusof praised.
Of course, Eusof truly believed it was a good plan to prevent things from going wrong if they actually encountered the Glorian Order.
Hence, the duo quickly found a place and hid themselves.
In the meantime, Floyd suppressed his urge to ask Eusof about the secret of the Glorian Order.
He figured it was not too late to ask Eusof by the time Forlevia and the others arrived. Moreover, he could even use the opportunity to clear Gloria’s name in front of everyone.
At the same time, as soon as Gloria received the news, she immediately informed the Glorian Order’s elites, who had been hiding in Levi’s base.
