Chapter 2444
The Secretly Rich Man
The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2444 With that in mind, the second the aurablade appeared, the girl instantly felt a burning sensation within her body! Now trembling in fear, the child quickly wailed, âY-youâre strong! It was wrong of me to say that! P-please donât kill meâ¦!â
âThen spit it out. Just so you know, if this aurablade continues to burn through you, you wonât even get a chance to revive! Youâll be completely erased, got that?â commanded Gerald.
âI⦠Iâll talk! J-just flip to the fifteenth page of that book! Once you get to that page, place your hand on itâ¦!â yelled the terrified girl as she began pointing toward an ancient-looking book on one of the shelves.
Grabbing it, Gerald then asked, âThis sutra?â
âY-yeah!â whimpered the girl as Gerald did as she instructedâ¦
All of a sudden, a rumble was heard and shortly after, bricks began to shift! By the end of it, a small space was revealed! Upon peering inside, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a few neatly arranged drawings⦠and once he gave them a better look, Geraldâs eyes instantly lit up.
One of the drawings showed the exact location of the ancient generalâs tomb! There were even instructions on how to get to the main chamber! Everything was here!
Delighted, Gerald quickly began making a copy of all the information and once he was done, he returned all the paintings to where he found them. While doing so, however, he noticed the presence of what appeared to be a bottle of medicine within the room. Raising a slight brow, Gerald then popped the bottleâs cover open to have a sniff and shortly after, a strong demonic spirit entered his nose! From the looks of it, the Zandts used this to cultivate.
Regardless, after placing it back, Gerald walked up to the mirror again before saying, âAlright, Iâll be asking you a few other questions. If you cooperate and answer me honestly, Iâll free you from the mirror so that you can finally reincarnate!â
âR-really?! Then ask away! Iâll share anything I know!â
âFor starters, who exactly is the owner of the Trilight Church? The one backing the Zandts,â replied Gerald.
âSheâs an extremely powerful cultivator, though sheâs actually working for someone else. The true person in charge is not only the actual owner of the Trilight Church, but heâs also the one who sealed my soul in this mirror! Honestly, his cultivation level is about the same as yours, so you know heâs powerful! That aside, I donât know much else about them since I was given away after being trapped in this mirror⦠You should know that Iâve had to pretend to be innocent this entire time just to survive!â
explained the child.
âYou donât even know that much about them? Then why were you sealed?â asked Gerald with a slight frown.
âBecause I know his big secret⦠You see, those two used the lives of my entire village in order to cultivate⦠I was the only remaining survivor, though they eventually sealed me in here⦠Either way, know that youâre the first to hear this secret!â replied the girl.
âI see⦠Alright, one final question. Is the headless general really that powerful?â asked Gerald.
Gulping in fear, the girl quickly whispered, âOf course he is. Not even the one who sealed me in this mirror can match him! With that said, youâll probably have a hard time with the general as well! You should know that the general is actually a demon, just like that man!â
âOh? Is that so? So youâre saying that after many, many years, the headless general has managed to cultivate from a corpse into a corpse demon?â
âThatâs about the gist of it!â
âHmm⦠Do you know the name of that man? Canât be deal with the general? Also, do you know what kind of demon he is?â asked Gerald as he continued piecing more of the puzzle together. There was never any harm in taking the time to fully understand what one was dealing with.
âI donât really have the answer to most of those, though I do know that he wanted to enter the tomb some five hundred years ago. He eventually gave up since he was unable to deal with the headless general. That aside, while I donât know his real name, when I was still alive, I heard a guest call him Mr.
Z.â replied the girl.
âLoud and clear. Still, I do wonder how Freyr was able to get out alive when the headless general is this powerfulâ¦â
âHe obviously didnât encounter the headless general! I bet he was just beaten by a regular demon in the tomb! If he really did encounter the headless general, heâd be dead by now!â replied the child.
