Chapter 442: Chapter 440 - 440 Coming out of Seclusion _1

Greg Jensen’s heart thumped with lingering fear as he glanced at Lukas Simon, then said calmly, “We can temporarily stop the Yin Sha, but don’t even think about resolving it completely, I can’t manage that yet.”

“That’s okay, being able to stop it is already very good.”

Lukas Simon’s task was to contain the Yin Sha and prevent whatever was inside from coming out. He was quite satisfied with the ability to contain it.

Seeing Greg Jensen’s pale face, he couldn’t help expressing concern, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine, but I need to rest.”

“Alright, then stay in my barracks. I’ll have Elijah Hall stand guard. If you need anything, just let me know.”

Greg Jensen nodded and said, “Then I owe you one, Brother Simon.”

“What are you being polite for?”

Lukas Simon chuckled heartily and accompanied him to the barracks.

Bradley Ford hurried over upon seeing this, opened his mouth as if to say something, but Greg Jensen didn’t even glance at him and walked straight past him.

A bitter smile played on Bradley Ford’s lips as he looked at his uncle apprentice beside him and sighed helplessly.

Randy Locke muttered discontentedly, “This kid’s pretty arrogant. Back in my day…”

“Back in your day, I bet you were even more arrogant than him.”

Bradley Ford replied irritably, “He has the capital to be arrogant, what about you back in your day? And even now, can you compare to him?”

“I…”

Randy Locke’s face immediately turned sour, and he said with a stern face, “Bradley Ford, what do you mean by that? I am, after all, your senior…”

“Uncle, that’s not how a senior should act.”

Bradley Ford shook his head and sighed as he returned to his room.

Randy Locke stood in place for a moment, then followed with a darkened face.

“Daley Rogers, they shouldn’t stop us if we leave now, right?”

“How do we leave now? Walk back?”

Simon Cooper glared at Trent Preston.

Trent Preston huffed and, looking around the empty surroundings, said annoyedly:

“That Lukas Simon really is something, daring to detain us.

When we get back, we’ll talk to the Stuart Family and have them give Simon a little trouble.”

Troy Milton thoughtfully looked at the cave, then at Simon’s barracks, and said softly,

“Let’s call home and have them send a car to pick us up tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Joy instantly lit up on Trent Preston’s face as he took out his phone and made the call.

Simon Cooper hesitantly said, “Daley Rogers, can we really leave tomorrow morning?”

“Don’t worry, the issue with the cave has already been resolved, Simon wouldn’t dare do anything to us.”

Troy Milton said indifferently, “Besides, this whole affair has nothing to do with us, we are completely the victims.

Let Simon deal with the mess. If he really wants to play tough, then we’ll take him on.”

Simon Cooper frowned but said nothing.

Trent Preston, however, was visibly excited and said, “If you ask me, we should just take him down. I heard that the Guard Commander’s wife is good-looking.

And she just had a baby, her figure is voluptuous yet not bloated, and that skin so tender you could squeeze water out of it.”

The more Trent Preston spoke, the more excited he became, saliva almost drooling from his mouth.

Simon Cooper glanced at him disdainfully and said, “When are you going to change this disgusting habit?”

“Why should I change? This is my hobby.”

Trent Preston glared with eyes wide open, a defiant look on his face, as if his penchant for others’ wives was completely justified.

Simon Cooper sighed and turned to look at Troy Milton.

Troy Milton’s eyebrows were also furrowed as he said in a stern voice,

“Trent, you really should change this hobby. What kind of girl can’t we find? Why must you go and ruin someone else’s relationship?”

“Daley Rogers, you just don’t understand!”

Trent Preston raised an eyebrow and said with a sly smile, “As the saying goes, unripe grapes are hard to swallow, they’re not as sweet to my heart as ripe cherries.”

Looking at Trent Preston, a nearly two-meter tall man with hands behind his back spouting such flowery words, both Troy Milton and Simon Cooper shivered coldly, feeling a chill in their hearts.

…

In the barracks, Greg Jensen swallowed another Qi Condensing Pill and began to use the method of nourishing the Divine Sense from the “Yin Yang Harmony Sutra” to mobilize his True Qi and heal his wounded soul.

His injury this time wasn’t light, but it wasn’t very heavy either.

The main reason for this was that he had broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

The last three levels of the Qi Refinement Realm were all processes of condensing the Divine Sense.

The seventh level is to unblock the Yin aperture and generate Divine Sense, which allows one to introspect and control the external release of True Qi, and the eighth level is to unblock the Yang aperture, allowing the Divine Sense to be hidden and nourished there night and day.

After reaching the eighth level, Greg Jensen’s Divine Sense had nearly doubled in strength. With the Divine Sense standing in front, the pressure on the soul was significantly lessened.

There were many benefits to having condensed the Divine Sense, not only could one control the release of True Qi even more precisely, but also effectively resist psychic attacks.

Otherwise, given the intensity of the attack he had suffered at that time, he probably would have lost his life then and there.

Compared to the dangers he faced, the benefits he gained this time were also significant.

Without the Yin evil energy in the cave, it would have taken him at least several months to reach the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

At the same time, he had also acquired a mysterious treasure which, when his strength was sufficient in the future, he could come back and open directly.

Moreover, this treasure was guarded; besides himself, Lukas Simon would absolutely not allow anyone else to enter.

In other words, as long as the guarding officer didn’t change, the treasure belonged to Greg Jensen alone.

Others can’t even think about entering, not to mention getting the news.

Even if the guarding officer were to change, by the time Greg Jensen had the strength to enter the tomb within the cave, the soldiers stationed here couldn’t stop him.

At the eighth level of Qi Refinement, a new realm meant that Greg Jensen could learn new spells.

But before that, he still needed to heal his soul first.

As he sat cross-legged in the barracks healing his injuries, Guard Commander Elijah Hall stood guard at the door, with a team of soldiers around the perimeter.

Anyone approaching within fifteen meters of the barracks would be repelled, and anyone causing a ruckus nearby would be sent straight to solitary confinement.

The surroundings were so quiet that not even the chirping of insects could be heard.

It was assumed that Greg Jensen would come out of the barracks soon, as usual, but to the surprise of Elijah Hall who had been guarding the door all night, there was still no movement inside.

He could only continue to stand guard at the door, only leaving once to use the restroom, even taking his meals while standing there.

It wasn’t until deep into the next night that there was finally some movement in the room.

“Mr. Barry Wolfe, you’re awake. Guard Commander Lukas Simon has already been here to see you several times,”

“Hmm, I understand,”

Greg Jensen nodded and, looking up at the moonlight, asked, “How long have I been inside?”

Elijah Hall bowed his head, pondered for a moment, and respectfully said, “Mr. Barry Wolfe, you’ve been in the barracks for about twenty hours or so.”

“Oh, it’s already the next day.”

Greg Jensen stood in place and watched the night for a while, then instructed, “Tell Big Brother Lukas that I’ve had some insights, and I want to take a walk in the forest. He shouldn’t worry.”

“Yes, Mr. Barry Wolfe.”

Greg Jensen gave Elijah Hall a slight nod and reflected silently for a moment before dashing out of the camp.

“Where… where is he?”

Elijah Hall blinked, his face full of confusion. Just a moment ago, he had only seen a blur before Barry Wolfe’s figure suddenly disappeared.

He couldn’t believe it and hurriedly ran forward, searching around extensively, only to find that Greg Jensen was indeed gone.

Hisss!

Elijah Hall sucked in a cold breath.

Such speed…

Is this still human?
