âWhatâs going on?â
âAll the sect masters and eleven Peak Lords of the Sun Shrine suddenly died. However, it turns out that
they are entertaining guests at a banquet, and the sound of singing and dancing can be heard.â
Alex was surprised. Even he could see the guest-welcoming doorway made of flowers and decorations
with lanterns and streamers inside the mountain gate, filled with joy. Some guests, who had come from
afar, rushed to the banquet by riding strange beasts and driving luxury cars.
âHey, do you know whatâs going on here?â Alex asked the Peak Lord whose cultivation base he had
sealed.
When he was on the way, he heard that this man was called Gibson Edward and one of the three Peak
Lords in charge of the Sun Shrine.
âI donât knowâ¦â
Gibson Edward seemed a little nervous because his hands were tied, and his life was hanging by a
thread. He feared the most now that Alex, the great devil, would kill him with one punch after getting
the treasures in the vault. When that time came, wouldnât he be helpless?
The familiar faces that Alex saw were the people who had hunted him down before.
It was Colette Brunel from the Silvermoon Sanctuary and some of her followers. If this woman had not
lent the Heavenly Mirror to the Sun Shrine back in Raze City, he wouldnât be having such a hard time.
At this moment, she seemed to be busy socializing, so she did not notice Alexâs arrival⦠This was also
normal because Alex had not had much interaction with her previously. After a hasty encounter, he
appeared before her later disguised.
âThe Heavenly Mirror. Since you re so generous, why donât you let me take advantage of it?!â
Alex pulled Gibson to an empty corner again. When he came out again after a while, he changed into
Gabriel Simpsonâs appearance. Gibson saw the entire process. He felt depressed!
âThis vile, immoral guy disguised himself as Donovan Orlando to embezzle ten billion spiritual stones.
Now that he has disguised himself as Gabriel Simpson, who the hell is he supposed to deceive now?â
Alex saw his expression and sneered. âFat Gibson, watch your mouth. Iâll leave after reaching the
treasure vault, and Iâll even set you free! But if you lack tact, the eleven remaining Peak Lords will make
an example out of you.â
Gibson seemed bitter. âAre you really not going to kill me to silence me?â
Alex snorted. âWhatâs that to silence? The people of the Western Ridge will know the truth in a few
days. Anyway, Iâll escape after getting the treasures. The life and death of a minor character like you
wonât stir up a storm.â
Once Gibson heard it, the motivation to survive finally sparked within him. âAlright, Iâll definitely
cooperate! In fact, my relationship with Donovan Orlando isnât good. Thereâs a feud between the two of
us, but we both can be friends.â
Alex sneered silently. âWhoâs willing to be friends with you?â he thought.
Soon, he appeared at the banquet using the identity of Gabriel. In an instant, all those people who saw
him greeted him.
Only then did he know that today was actually the birthday banquet of one of Gabrielâs wives. Invitation
cards were widely scattered around Raze City to invite some gentries and top echelons of sects to the
banquet.
âSect master! Youâre back!â
âYouâre back as well, Peak Lord Edward. By the way, where is the young sect master and the other
peak lords?â
Alex did not speak but fully authorized Gibson to explain it on his behalf. Alex did not care about
whatever reason he came up with, so Gabriel walked toward Colette right away.
âSect Master Simpson, I heard you guys went to capture that Rockefeller. So whatâs the result? Did you
manage to capture him?â Colette bowed to Alex as a junior with a smile all over her face and looked
very polite.
After all, she needed to treat Gabriel carefully with her status.
Alex said with a smile. âWeâve caught him. Heâs just a minor character. Donovan and the others are
watching over him!â
Colette said, âI heard that this minor character has the Chaos Tree in his body. Sect Master Simpson,
after you acquire the Chaos Tree, I wonder if you can share a little bit of Chaos Chi energy with our
Silvermoon Sanctuary?â
Alex looked at her and thought, âD*mn, so this b*tch knows that I have the Chaos Tree. It looks like itâs
no longer a secret in the Western Ridge.â
He said, âYouâre quite well-informed. No problem. Since youâve lent the Heavenly Mirror to us, itâs to be
considered reciprocity as well! But now, I just happen to have a trivial matter that requires the use of
the Heavenly Mirror for a moment again. Can you lend it to me again for a while?â
