LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Upon hearing Sienna Lovall’s words, Jun Chester slightly narrowed his eyes. While he was answering the phone, he used his other hand to treat Gaylord Chow, who was covered in blood. More precisely, he was using acupressure to stop Gaylord Chow’s bleeding. In this way, Gaylord Chow naturally heard the voice coming from the phone as well. When he heard the name Margaret Lovall, Gaylord Chow couldn’t even care about the intense pain from his sword wounds and his face drastically changed. In an instant, his mood became extremely tense!

Although Gaylord Chow knew that Sienna Lovall had been injured by Jun Chester, he didn’t know that Sienna Lovall had submitted to him! Now, hearing Sienna Lovall telling Jun Chester that Margaret Lovall wanted her to return to Pinkriver Temple, the first thought that arose in his heart was fear!

One thing was clear: Gaylord Chow was well aware of Margaret Lovall’s power! It could be said that Archer Sherman, who was just easily crippled by Jun Chester within the Chessboard Pavilion, was formidable enough, right? However, if Margaret Lovall were to make a move, she could effortlessly cripple Archer Sherman as well! In other words, in Gaylord Chow’s eyes, no matter how powerful Jun Chester was, he was just on par with Margaret Lovall! Since these two individuals were of equal strength, it meant that if Jun Chester and Margaret Lovall became enemies, they would inevitably enter a situation where neither could kill the other!

But the problem was… Apart from Margaret Lovall, Pinkriver Temple also had a few old fellows who wouldn’t easily make a move! If they were to join forces with Margaret Lovall to deal with Jun Chester, then Jun Chester… would most likely meet his end on the summit of Emei Mountain!

With this in mind, Gaylord Chow instinctively grabbed Jun Chester’s sleeve. Jun Chester, however, thought that Gaylord Chow’s action was due to his injuries and didn’t pay much attention to it.

On the other end of the phone, Sienna Lovall didn’t hear Jun Chester’s response and her voice became even more panicked. “Jun the Accursed! I’m not lying! Margaret Lovall just sent a messenger pigeon to me, asking me to return to Pinkriver Temple as soon as possible!”

The reason Jun Chester didn’t respond immediately to Sienna Lovall was simple. When he heard Sienna Lovall mention Margaret Lovall, two words suddenly flashed through his mind: Dragon Vein! Besides Jun Chester’s own understanding of the Dragon Vein, based on what Eric Chester had previously mentioned, there were ninety-nine Dragon Veins in the world, and the old well in the old residence in Luofu Lane was just one of them! There was another one located in the back mountain of Emei, controlled by Margaret Lovall!

That means… Before meeting Margaret Lovall, I had a reason to suspect that her strength might surpass mine! With this in mind, Jun Chester asked Sienna Lovall on the other end of the phone, “What are your thoughts then?”

Sienna Lovall nervously replied, “I… I haven’t thought much. I… I am willingly staying in the capital now. I have already sworn an oath to serve you as your bull and horse in this lifetime, to repay your kindness.”

Jun Chester calmly said, “Say something useful.”

Sienna Lovall regained some composure, although her voice still trembled slightly. “This is what I told Margaret Lovall. I said that whether it’s you or your mother, both have fallen into my hands. Additionally, I didn’t inform Margaret Lovall about Cedric Barnes’ death. I only told her that the treasure map and the stone she wanted haven’t been found yet, and I need a few more days to search at the foot of the mountain before I can return.”

Jun Chester inquired, “How did Margaret Lovall react?”

Sienna Lovall replied, “It seems she didn’t suspect anything. She just said that you should appear before her unharmed.”

Jun Chester was slightly surprised and puzzled by Margaret Lovall’s words. However, he didn’t delve deeper into it and simply gave Sienna Lovall casual instructions. “Let her wait then. I have some things to attend to these days. After I’m done, I will personally visit the back mountain of Emei and meet Margaret Lovall.”

However, Sienna Lovall had something else to say. Jun Chester said, “Just say everything at once, don’t hesitate.”

Nervously, Sienna Lovall reported, “Next month, Pinkriver Temple will hold its once-in-a-century apprentice recruitment event. By then, most of the influential forces in the martial world will gather at the back mountain of Emei.”

“But even before Cedric Barnes and I left the mountain this time, many people had already arrived at the back mountain of Emei. All of these people are Margaret Lovall’s closest friends. If you confront Margaret Lovall head-on, it’s likely to trigger an attack from others.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Chester’s expression became serious, and he asked, “Which forces are they?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sienna Lovall answered, “The True Martial Sect, as well as numerous martial forces from the South Sea Archipelago. Even the Tianying Sect from the Tianying Kingdom seems to be heading there. Currently, I only know about these, and these martial forces rarely get involved in worldly affairs. But once they do, significant events are bound to happen, especially with the Tianying Sect of the Tianying Kingdom.”

Jun Chester’s eyes gleamed with cold light. “So, you’re saying that the head of the Tianying Sect will also go to the back mountain of Emei for the Pinkriver Temple apprentice recruitment event?”

Sienna Lovall replied, “That’s right!”

Jun Chester suddenly smiled. “Good, I understand. Is there anything else?”

Sienna Lovall nervously answered.

“Nothing… There’s nothing else. Oh, right, there’s a formidable individual in the Tianying Sect, someone from Lordran. Moreover, this person is Alf Charlton’s eldest son, named Archer Sherman. Compared to Alf Charlton, this person is even more terrifying!” Jun Chester said casually. “Oh, I’ve already disabled all four of his limbs!”

Upon hearing this, Sienna Lovall on the other end of the phone was struck as if by lightning.

Jun Chester didn’t say anything else and immediately hung up the phone. In the short time he was on the call with Sienna Lovall, he had already treated Gaylord Chow’s injuries to a satisfactory extent.

Seeing Jun Chester hang up the phone, Gaylord Chow spoke up. “Don’t go to the back mountain of Emei! Absolutely do not go there!”

Jun Chester asked in response, “Why?”

Gaylord Chow panicked and said, “In reality, Margaret Lovall isn’t that fearsome. At least, she can’t kill you. But the martial forces allied with Pinkriver Temple, especially the True Martial Sect and the martial forces from the South Sea Archipelago, each one of them is extraordinary, far from ordinary flesh and blood!”

Jun Chester smiled. “All the more reason to go and witness it.”

At this point, Jun Chester intentionally changed the subject and asked Gaylord Chow, “By the way, before I left Hyuny Temple, did Elder Rachel come to find you? Where is she? She hasn’t been… killed by Archer Sherman, has she?”

Gaylord Chow forced a bitter smile. “I know she came to find me. For her own safety, I had to knock her unconscious.”

Jun Chester was briefly stunned, then chuckled knowingly. “You old Taoist, quite the man!”

Gaylord Chow still held onto Jun Chester’s sleeve tightly, shaking his head. “Whether I’m a man or not doesn’t matter. What’s most important now is that you absolutely must not go to the back mountain of Emei during this critical time when Pinkriver Temple is recruiting disciples. Otherwise, you will regret it!”

Jun Chester sneered and suddenly asked, “By the way, do you know Kennard Meskill from the True Martial Sect? He should also be present at the Pinkriver Temple recruitment event!”

Gaylord Chow froze. Almost reflexively, an image of an ethereal and dignified old man appeared in his mind. That was a genuine immortal!

Jun Chester added, “It seems you don’t know this person, Kennard Meskill. When I was out fighting battles, I spent some time with him. That old fellow actually wanted to take me as his disciple, but I declined. Then, he turned the tables and became my disciple!”
