Chapter 620: Chapter 620 A Legacy Torn Down
I stood there silently, letting the weight of the moment settle around me.
After some time passed, I swept my gaze across the area and declared, "I’m planning to stay here and cultivate in seclusion."
The mustached man trembled and whispered, "Cultivate here? You’re serious? What if those two corpses come back to life?"
I chuckled, "I’ve already figured out how to handle them, and more importantly... this place offers a cultivation environment I rarely encounter."
The mustached man rolled his eyes dramatically, "Fine, if you want to stay, stay. But count me out—I don’t want to spend another second in this cursed place."
The earlier encounter had clearly shaken him badly.
I grabbed his arm and said, "You’ll need to come back for me later, or I won’t be able to leave."
He rolled his eyes again, "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving the Immortal Slaying Sect anytime soon."
"A place this massive must be loaded with treasures." The mustached man licked his lips greedily.
I nodded, "Alright."
Then I turned and headed back into the tomb’s depths, returning to the recessed chamber.
Staring at the coffin before me, I drew in a deep breath.
Even I had to admit the dark energy here made me uneasy.
I couldn’t tell if the sinister aura came from the coffin or the two male corpses.
"If I can absorb all this dark energy, my power should jump significantly," I thought to myself.
With that decision, I pulled out the Three Pure Ancient Tree and suspended it overhead.
Then I settled into serious cultivation.
The surrounding dark energy flowed toward my body in threads, nearly freezing me solid.
——
Outside world.
A month and a half had passed since Mason’s disappearance.
People seemed to have erased Mason from memory. To them, Mason had been like a blazing comet, flashing across the sky before vanishing completely.
"Most prodigies die young, especially those without powerful backing," someone observed.
Capital City Martial Arts Association.
Mabel Sean’s blood continued to be extracted daily.
The Capital City Martial Arts Association delivered premium elixirs and medicinal herbs to Mabel Sean each day.
These medicines kept Mabel alive while ensuring a steady supply of fresh blood.
"Her bloodline is incredibly potent," Sybil Cooper said grimly, standing outside the cell door.
Beside him stood a small, hunched elderly woman.
The old woman had to be at least eighty, but the subtle energy radiating from her revealed tremendous power.
"With this bloodline... the Capital City Martial Arts Association can awaken bloodline power in three individuals," the old woman said softly.
Sybil nodded, "Exactly. With this bloodline power, someone becomes unbeatable among peers and can even fight above their level."
Puzzled, Sybil asked, "Ms. Zackary, what type of bloodline does Mabel Sean possess that makes it so overwhelmingly strong?"
The elderly woman called Ms. Zackary bowed slightly and replied, "We’re uncertain about the exact bloodline type, but... her bloodline is extraordinarily powerful, and with it, we can produce countless elite cultivators."
Sybil bowed respectfully and exclaimed, "Incredible. The three who’ve undergone bloodline baptism must now rival Mason’s former strength."
Ms. Zackary smiled, "Naturally."
Ms. Zackary glanced at Sybil and added, "Continue recruiting talent." After saying this, Ms. Zackary started to leave.
At that moment, Sybil Cooper suddenly stepped into Ms. Zackary’s path.
"What, do you have something else to discuss?" Ms. Zackary asked.
Sybil Cooper hesitated and said, "Ms. Zackary, I... I..."
"You want this bloodline power as well, don’t you?" Ms. Zackary said calmly.
Sybil Cooper nodded with a bitter smile, "Who wouldn’t desire such power..."
Ms. Zackary laughed, "Don’t worry. You’ve served the Capital City Martial Arts Association faithfully for years, so you won’t be excluded from this bloodline power."
Hearing this, Sybil Cooper lit up with joy, "Thank you, Ms. Zackary!"
Ms. Zackary said no more and walked away.
Sybil Cooper looked at Mabel Sean in the cell and couldn’t help smiling, "Miss Sean, you’ve made enormous contributions to the Capital City Martial Arts Association. I’m sure... the Association will remember you forever."
Mabel Sean struggled to raise her head, her pale face completely drained of color.
Though the Capital City Martial Arts Association used premium herbs to maintain Mabel’s health, the constant blood extraction had left her body extremely frail.
"You... will face destruction eventually." Mabel Sean managed to utter these words.
Hearing this, Sybil Cooper burst into laughter, "Miss Sean, who could possibly destroy the Capital City Martial Arts Association? You’re not still counting on Mason Raymond, are you?"
Sybil Cooper paused, then smacked his forehead and said, "I nearly forgot to mention—Mason Raymond is already dead. Didn’t you know?"
Mabel Sean’s expression changed drastically, panic flashing in her eyes!
"What... What are you saying?!" Mabel Sean’s voice carried intense fear.
Sybil Cooper chuckled, "Mason Raymond has been dead for over a month. His body is probably starting to decay by now."
"No... impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Mabel Sean screamed in anguish and rage.
Sybil Cooper sneered, "Do you think I’d lie to you? Mason Raymond repeatedly challenged our Capital City Martial Arts Association, and this is his reward!"
"You’re all the same, so foolish, thinking one person could bring us down. Truly pitiful."
Mabel Sean said coldly, "I won’t believe your lies. Mason Raymond will never die!"
Sybil Cooper shrugged, "Believe whatever you want."
After dropping these words, Sybil Cooper turned to leave.
"You... come back! Come back! Tell me Mason Raymond isn’t dead!"
Behind him, Mabel Sean’s heartbroken cries echoed.
But Sybil Cooper ignored her and strode away from the cell.
——
Green Moon Villa.
Kira Doris had finally claimed the coveted sect master position.
As a former elder of the Great Saint Sect, his political skills far exceeded Ximena Santos’.
It took Kira Doris one month to completely outmaneuver Ximena Santos and become Green Moon Villa’s legitimate sect master.
"Miss Santos, if you cooperate, I’ll let you remain at Green Moon Villa and give you a chance to live," Kira Doris said coldly.
Ximena Santos looked furious but was powerless to change the situation.
Kira Doris snorted softly. He surveyed everyone present and announced coldly, "Starting today, Green Moon Villa will be renamed the Great Saint Sect!"
"Also, tear down Mason Raymond’s statue from the square immediately!"
