“..I agree! Checking around for ancient books about legends in Peaceton may be our best shot at getting more information!” replied Gerald with a nod.

“I’m glad you’re on board with the idea! Speaking of which, I happen to have a student working with the local botanical research institute, and I’m thinking of asking him to help us search for some ancient records!” said the professor.

“Putting all that aside for now.. Though you haven’t properly met that mysterious expert, since he managed to save that demon scorpion in time, he must have known about you for a while now!” muttered Darkwind with a slight frown.

“Indeed. From how easily he blocked my The Diffusion Method’s essential qi, he seemed to recognize my attack as well! Come to think of it, even that woman recognized the techniques that I inherited. If I haven’t said it already, Saint Amorphous seemed to be acquainted with that big demon. With that in mind, his power must be far beyond mine!” replied Gerald.

“Still, I find it odd that the big demon didn’t attempt to fight me after blocking my attack. Had he arrived with his true self and fought me, there’s a high possibility that I would’ve lost! ‘m guessing that he only did that to pay respect to me!” added Gerald as he continued thinking about today’s battle.

“AIl in all, we need to be more careful from now on, especially since this big demon seems to have a close connection with the Zandts. To think that our trip to the general’s tomb would get this complicated…” grumbled Lyndon.

“Lyndon’s right. With that said, if we don’t have anything important to do in the coming days, try not to get separated. That way, if anything comes up, I’ll be close enough to use my Golden Blaze Somersault and teleport everyone to safety!” replied Gerald.

After a brief pause,Gerald was prompted to add, “..Hold on. I’ve completely forgotten about the Second Young Mistress! While I attend to her, you two stick close with the professor. Remember, no separating unless absolutely necessary. Well, I’m off, then!”

As Gerald bolted off to deal with Fae, things within the Trilight Church were starting to get rowdy.

By the very next day, three honored guests stepped into Trilight Church, the guests being Master Green Drake from Greendrake Church, Master Coldwater from Coldwater Church, and Master Sevenom from the Centipede Sect.

Upon seeing Master Trilight, Master Greendrake was prompted to ask, “So I heard you ran into some trouble, Youngest Junior.”

“Eldest Senior! Not only did I end up damaging Master’s reputation, but I almost died by that man’s hands too!” replied Master Trilight in an icy tone.

Chuckling in response, Master Greendrake then said, “And here I thought nobody would ever be able to seriously injure you… Who exactly was your opponent?

“He’s a young man in his twenties, but even Master didn’t take his capabilities lightly..” muttered Master Trilight.

“There’s no need to be so humble, Aunt Trilight!I refuse to believe that such a young man would be able to cultivate his essential qi to such a high level!” retorted a young man who was standing behind Master Greendrake in a disdainful tone.

“Silence, Filipe. The world is more complicated than you think. Though the holy spirits of heaven and earth are scarce now, we should Never underestimate cultivators. After all, their virtuous essential gi is the purest, and if they get to a certain limit, even demonic cultivators with similar abilities won’t be able to take them without relying on angelic artifacts!” scoffed Master Greendrake.

“But Father, Aunt Trilight said that he’s just in his twenties! If he was able to injure Aunt Trilight, he must have used angelic artifacts!” replied Filipe.

“Actually, we were curious about this as well, Youngest Junior. How did you get hurt..2” asked the other two masters.

The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2452

After Master Trilight recounted all that had happened, all three masters were left shocked. Feeling his heart skip a beat,

Master Greendrake eventually said, “So… Let me get this straight Your opponent was Saint Amorphous’s heir, and the boy has nearly mastered all the techniques created by that man…?'”

“Indeed. It’s why Master grew interested and told me to investigate further into him. However, I figured that making a thorough investigation was going to be difficult on my own, which is why I invited you three over!

That aside, from what I’ve gathered through my disciple’s resources, the boy’s name is Gerald Crawford, and he really is only in his twenties. Interestingly, he’s also a second- generation rich heir who supposedly went missing for a few years! I’m guessing that he obtained his power around then!” proposed Master Trilight.

“That basic information is all we need. Father, I suggest that we get some of our men from Greendrake Church to deal with him! Once we’ve captured him, we can just get the rest of the information out of him!” declared Filipe.

“Could you not be so impulsive for once, Filipe? Didn’t you hear what your aunt Trilight said? Even your Grandmaster is giving him face! With that in mind, there’s no way you could deal with him! Just stay put for now!

Regardless… I suspect that there’s a special force within his body that’s allowing him to do all this…

With that said, we should only start making plans once we understand more about him!” suggested Master Greendrake.

“We’ll follow every word you say, Eldest Senior!” declared the trio in respectful tones. Following that, Master Greendrake turned to look at his son before shaking his head as he said in a disappointed tone, “Honestly, though, you’ve been acting more and more immature of late… f you keep behaving this way, you’l never be successful!”

After shaking his head again, Master Greendrake then began leading his juniors further into the church, leaving the red-faced Filipe clenching his fists in embarrassment. ‘You’ve always considered everything I do to be immature…!

Fine, then! Since all of you keep looking down on me, I’ll prove you all wrong! ‘ll use my Whirlwind Flying Feet technique that I’ve practiced for over eighteen years to defeat Gerald once and for all! Once I’m done, I’Ll bring his head to you..! Filipe thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Gerald and his party were reading some documents at a museum that the the professor had led them to.

The professor had even invited a few of his students from the institution to help them read through the documents.

However, after going through numerous documents, Darkwind finally couldn’t take it anymore, prompting him to grumble, “Alright, that does it! I’m heading out to get some fresh air!”

Though Gerald helplessly shook his head, he understood that Darkwind was a dynamic person who preferred manhandling things compared to reading.

With that in mind,Gerald ultimately replied, “Fine, but remember to keep a low profile, Make sure not to cause any trouble!”

“I appreciate it, Mr. Crawford! ” replied Darkwind as he cheerily left the museum..

Since he wasn’t too familiar with the secular world yet, he simply headed to a nearby park. Once he got there, he found a nice spot to sit in, and immediately began cultivating..

However, it wasn’t long before a group of men suddenly surrounded him! Eventually, Darkwind was prompted to open his eyes and he was greeted by the sight of Elaine,

the Eldest Young Mistress of the Zandt family, and an evil looking young man standing before him,”Do forgive us for visiting you under such short notice, old man!”

Chapter 2453

The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2453

“What do you two want from me?” asked Darkwind as he slowly got to his feet.

“Well, after learning that Young Master Crawford’s come to town, I suggested to the Zandt’s Eldest Young Mistress to have a feast prepared for him at the Zandt manor. She ultimately agreed, which is why ‘i’m hoping that you’ll accept our invitation to join us for a meal!” replied the evil looking man who was none other than Filipe!

“With all these men surrounding me, it’s clear that you wouldn’t have taken no as an answer anyway” scoffed Darkwind in a slightly excited tone. He, for one, was usually the one issuing challenges. With that in mind, to think that this nobody from the secular world would dare threaten him.

Chuckling in response, Filipe then replied, “You’re quite sharp, old man! With that in mind, let’s just cut straight to the chase!” Stepping up, Elain then added in a slightly impatient tone, “Look, if you cooperate and we ultimately learn that you mean us no harm, I promise that nobody in Peaceton will make things difficult for you”

Laughing aloud, Darkwind then sharpened his gaze before growling, “How interesting! Let’s see what you two are made of for you to be doing things so recklessly!”

Following that, Darkwind waved his arm, prompting a gust of black wind to fly toward the duo! Though he had only used minimal essential qi in that attack, it was more than sufficient to seriously injure a demonic cultivator like Elaine… Or at least, that was what he had assumed! To the old man’s surprise, the two were completely unscathed by his attack!

“H-how could this be…?!” muttered the shocked Darkwind as he stared at the two. Both of them were clearly demonic cultivators who didn’t possess as much essential qi as he did! With that in mind, it didn’t make sense that they were able to completely ignore the effects of his Fierce Wind Palm attack! Darkwind’s train of thought was cut short when he heard Filipe-who was now smiling faintly-say, “To think that even Gerald’s men would have such high cultivation…! Impressive! That boy must really be something else!”

Watching as Filipe then placed his arms against his back, Elaine was prompted to mutter, “It seems that they don’t come in peace, Young Master Simmons…!”

“Just as I predicted… Regardless, now that we know this, we need to thoroughly investigate their backgrounds for the sake of the Zandt family! Stand aside as I take on this old man, Sister Elaine…!”

Though Filipe knew that Darkwind was terrifyingly strong, there wasn’t even a hint of fear on his sinister face…

As for Darkwind, who was still in slight disbelief, he simply clenched his fists as he growled, “Am I really that old…? Either way, regardless of whether you’re a human or demon, have another attack from me!

“Tornado Tower!” roared the old man as he attacked Filipe with all his might! The force of the attack was so great that even the nearby river’s water began splashing all over the Unable to stand Darkwind’s immense aura,Elaine’s men quietly distanced themselves from the scene! Even Elaine was aware of just how strong the attack was…!

Just as Elain was taking a step back, however, she heard the smirking Filipe retort, “To think that you’ve reached the Domiensch Realm..! And here I thought that it was impossible! I’m learning quite a bit today..!”

Before Darkwind could reply, he watched as Filipe waved his hand… And all of a sudden, a black light appeared before the boy! Acting as a shield, the black light easily blocked Darkwind’s attack! However, that wasn’t all! A split second later, the excess essential qi from the attack bounded back toward the old man, instantly causing Darkwind to get injured!

Before Darkwind could react, he heard Filipe roar, “Whirlwind Flying Feet…!”

Chapter 2454

The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2454

It was clear that Filipe was taking full advantage of the fact that Darkwind was now injured! Regardless, after announcing his attack, he began kicking at the old man’s chest so rapidly that several afterimages could be seen..!! Unable to block any of them, Darkwind soon spurted out blood as he fell to the ground!

Holding onto his chest, Darkwind was prompted to exclaim, “How.. How is this possible21”

From what Darkwind could tel, Filipe’s leg shouldn’t have been able to contain that much power! With that in mind, the fact that the boy’s attack was so aggressive was nothing short of bizarre! What’s more, to think that Filipe had managed to rebound the damage of his Fierce Wind Palm attack with some near impenetrable shield..!

Looking at how shocked the old man was, Filipe then placed his arms against his back as he laughed sinisterly before declaring, “How Did you find my attack?”

Snapping out of it, Darkwind then gritted his teeth as he endured all the pain before retorting, “What kind of black magic was that, brat?!”

“Oh, you’ll find out soon enough!” scoffed Filipe.

Not wanting to stay here any longer, Darkwind immediately attempted to escape! When he saw that, Filipe simply smirked before shooting out some sort of vine out of his sleeve! It didn’t take long for Darkwind to get completely entangled!

Naturally, Darkwind instinctively attempted to break free with his essential qi… However, he quickly realized that his essential qi had been sealed! Knowing what Darkwind was attempting to do, the grinning Filipe was prompted to explain, “Don’t bother struggling… That’s the Avatar Rope, and it’s an angelic artifact!”

“That’s… What?! But the Avatar Rope is a supreme angelic artifact..! How could a child like you possess it?! Who the hell are you?!” exclaimed the shocked Darkwind.

From what Darkwind’s master had told him, the Avatar Rope had supposedly appeared about a thousand years ago. At the time, multitudes of experts within the cultivation realm including Domenech masters fought to the death just to obtain it! Eventually, the artifact went off radar, but to think that it somehow got into the hands of this young demonic cultivator…!

Either way, Filipe simply snickered betfore replying, “This lame thing? I have plenty of better angelic artifacts! If you want to see then you’d best be obedient! Then again, if you’re disobedient, I guess you’ll get to see them too. The only difference is that I’ be using the artifacts to suck out your soul!” Following that, the sinister boy waved his hand before ordering, “Take him away. Since he’s one of Gerald’s men, Gerald will surely come save him in time!”

“But.. Isn’t that against the church’s ways, Senior Simmons…? Shouldn’t we properly challenge Gerald to a battle..?” asked Elain with a subtle smile.

“Oh, how naive you are, Sister Elaine.. Don’t you already know how evil people can get? That aside, this old man is only one of the experts Gerald brought over, yet he’s already entered the legendary Domiensch Realm! If his subordinates are already this strong, it’ll be impossible for us to win in a ‘fair fight’ with Gerald!” explained Filipe.

“I see..Very well, then…” replied Elain with a nod.

Now that she knew how strong Darkwind really she couldn’t help but tremble slightly.. Back at the museum, Gerald was still going through documents when all of a sudden he placed the document down before anxiously exclaiming, “This is bad”

“Hmm? What’s the matter, Mr. Crawford?” asked the confused Lyndon. Naturally, the the professor was confused as well.

“Darkwind may be in trouble!” explained Gerald who had just sensed a powerful fluctuation of angelic power not too far away. After using his divine sense that allowed him to see things that were over several kilometers away Gerald managed to catch sight of how dire Darkwind’s situation was.

Chapter 2455

The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2455

Regardless, the second he marked down Darkwind’s location, Gerald immediately led Lyndon over. However, when they arrived, not a soul was there!

Looking at the ground, Lyndon was prompted to say, “There appears to have been a big battle here.!”

“Indeed, and since I sensed that fluctuation of angelic power, Darkwind most probably lost. That aside, if his opponent wasn’t an Angelord, it was most probably someone who possessed an angelic artifact!” muttered Gerald who was already frowning.

Recalling how he had almost lost to Master Trilight due to her angelic artifact, Gerald then gave the bloodstains on the ground a long look before declaring, “i’m positive it’s them!”

“Mr. Crawford! Look here! There’s a stone plaque with some writing on it!” exclaimed Lyndon out of the blue.

Upon hearing that, Gerald went over to have a look and shortly after, he read out, “Purple Bamboo Forest, huh… The culprit must have abducted Darkwind to get us to head there!”

Though Lyndon agreed, he couldn’t help but add in a serious tone, “Still, it appears that our opponents this time aren’t that simple.. Since they’ve most probably set up traps there, we need to be extra careful…”

“I know, but since Darkwind is with them, I still have to save him. They’ve already laid out their cards anyway, so let’s just head to the Purple Bamboo Forest for now” replied Gerald, prompting the two to

immediately return to the museum.

Once they got there, they asked around, and eventually, an old professor told them where The Purple Bamboo Forest was.

There was apparently a steep and treacherous mountain in Peaceton, and right behind it, lay the bamboo forest. With how beautiful the place was, the Purple Bamboo Forest was also known as the ‘fairyland on earth. Naturally, its beauty captivated many adventurous tourists to explore the area every year.

Unfortunately, due to the mountain’s perilousness, many of the tourists ended up getting injured way before they even got to the forest. Whatever the case was, now that they knew where the location was, Gerald was prompted to say, “Alright, let’s head over immediately!”

As Gerald and Lyndon began making their way there, there were already two rows of experts from Greendrake Church lying in wait for them within the bamboo forest.. And located in the The center was Saint Darkwind! Since he was tied to a huge stone pillar, his essential qi remained sealed.

Filipe, on the other hand, was calmly sitting cross-legged nearby. After sipping on some tea, the boy said, “| do wonder why you ‘re willing to be Gerald’s lapdog, Saint Darkwind.. After all, you have pretty high cultivation. How about this? If you agree to follow me, I’l mentor you till your cultivation reaches a level comparable to the Deitus Realm!”

“Hah! Please! You were only able to withstand my attack with the help of your angelic artifact! If you only relied on your cultivation, you’d have perished there and then! That aside, do you really expect me to learn from your demonic cultivators? If I did that, I’d surely turn into something similar to that woman there! Neither human nor demon!” scoffed Darkwind with a laugh.

“You..! What do you mean, demonic cultivation?! Our cultivation method is the true cultivation technique!” retorted Elain whose cheeks were now flushed.

“Hah! That’s a good one! For as long as I’ve lived, this is the first time I’ve heard someone think that absorbing others’ masculine aura is the authentic cultivation method!” replied Darkwind as he shook his head, leaving the increasingly anxious Elaine speechless.

True enough, her cultivation relied on absorbing the masculine aura of children.. While Elaine was aware that the technique was slightly immoral, her master wouldn’t deceive her of the details, right…?

Sensing Elaine’s worry, Darkwind then smiled as he added, “You’ve been tricked, girl… If you don’t believe me, try looking for the children whom you absorbed masculine aura from! don’t believe you’ll be able to find them anymore!”

“What? But I can’t! Master told me that I wasn’t allowed to meet them till three years passed from the day I absorbed their masculine aural”
