LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Unexpected changes at the scene left everyone in a daze.

The men in black cloaks who hadn’t been killed, never imagined that Lyvia could be so powerful. With just a drop of tea, she shattered Kennard’s sword.

But looking at Kennard now, his sword was broken, and his expression was still wild and crazy.

He muttered to himself, “The sword is broken, how can I sever my own arms? Without severing my arms, how can I see my grandsons?”

At this point, Kennard ignored Stan and rushed towards the Dragon-Watching Pavilion, ready to kill Lyvia.

Unexpectedly, as Kennard was about to reach the pavilion, Stan suddenly made a move and pointed at Kennard’s forehead.

Kennard became stiff as if struck by lightning, his eyes constantly changing.

Stan looked at Kennard with a smile as he uttered words that sounded like a spell, “Soul, return…”

In just a moment, Kennard’s expression returned to normal as he looked at Stan without blinking. His mind cleared, and Stan’s smile grew broader. “Are you clear-headed now?”

Kennard glared at him, “Who are you?”

Stan didn’t rush to answer, but turned to look at Lyvia in the pavilion and said, “Miss Harding, your actions just now surprised me. I am more interested in you now, but please wait a moment. I have a few words to say to Kennard.”

Lyvia’s face finally turned serious as she looked at this man. She never expected that he could make Kennard regain his senses. But at that moment, Kennard once again shouted at Stan, “Who are you?!”

Stan faced Kennard again with an unchanged smile, “Shouldn’t you be grateful to me? You’ve been insane for so long, it is because of me that your mind has cleared up!”

Kennard, however, showed no gratitude and instead coldly questioned, “How do you know I was insane for a long time?”

After a brief pause, Stan said, “Because Darcy often corresponded with me, and I know many things that happened on Emei, including how your four grandsons were sent to Darcy by you.”

Stan added, “Oh, by the way, Darcy is dead now. I don’t know who killed him, but I am very angry. Hence, the consequences will be very severe!”

Upon hearing this, Kennard’s face turned pale. “Darcy is dead?”

Stan nodded, “Yes, dead. I suppose it was your little friend, Jun, who did it, but I haven’t found him yet. He’s quite remarkable. Not only did he kill Darcy, but also the group of waste from Temple of the Five Emperors, as well as another person I had planted in Emei. I found out about it just now.”

Stan then added, “So, I’m very angry, and I’m planning how to deal with his wife, Miss Harding, who is sitting in the pavilion.”

At this point, Stan seemed to remember something and added, “Should I treat Miss Harding the same way as I treated your wife and daughter-in-law? No, Miss Harding is interesting, unlike the women in your family!”

Kennard looked devastated, but before he could finish speaking, Stan interrupted, “Years ago, we extended an olive branch to Zhenwu Sect, and to you, Kennard, but since you did not want to become faithful followers of the Island of the Five Emperors, what could we do?”

“We could only bring back the two women from your family whom your men care about the most to the Island of the Five Emperors! Your wife, Minerva Hyde, looks much younger now, even though she is over a hundred years old, she still looks beautiful! And your daughter-in-law has not aged a bit in all the years she has spent on the Island of the Five Emperors. She looks even younger now!”

Kennard’s voice trembled.

“They… are they still alive?”

Stan laughed, “Of course, not only are they alive, but they are doing very well!”

“Kennard…”

“These should be, when I went to Zhenwu Sect years ago, I immediately fell for your wife and your daughter-in-law!”

“I have not let them suffer after bringing them to the Island of the Five Emperors. I’ve treated them well, at least for the first two years. But later, they actually conspired to kill me!”

“I had no choice but to use them as alchemy slaves, making them refine pills in my alchemy room every day!”

“You may not know what an alchemy slave means, it’s like… completely disfigured, with purple skin, but still fragile and interesting!”

As Stan continued, Kennard went mad again. “Ah!!!” “I will kill you, you scoundrel!” With that, Kennard threw a punch at Stan’s head. But in that instant, Stan disappeared and reappeared inside the Dragon-Watching Pavilion, sitting behind the ancient zither.

Kennard’s punch missed, but his murderous intent did not diminish. He grabbed a curved blade from the ground and once again dashed towards Stan. The few men in black cloaks who had remained, continued to confront Kennard. The scene was filled with flashes of blades and blood, but the Island of the Five Emperors’ men remained fearless!

One person fell, another rushed forward! Until, outside the Dragon-Watching Pavilion, only seven black-cloaked men surrounded Kennard to attack him.

Kennard was naturally injured, but his killing intent only grew stronger. Yet, inside the pavilion, Stan sat calmly, ignoring the ongoing battle outside. He turned to Lyvia and smiled, “Miss Harding, have you ever seen such a scene in your life?”

Lyvia questioned, “If your guards die, you’ll be alone. Aren’t you afraid?” Stan replied, “No, because this is just a minor scene. Moreover, those who died deserved to die. Why keep them around if they are so weak, unable to even kill Kennard?”

“You, on the other hand, aren’t afraid at all!”

“This surprises me, I think I may have fallen for you.” Lyvia snorted and ignored Stan’s confession. She paused and suddenly asked, “How did Darcy communicate with you all these years? Did he use carrier pigeons?” Stan shook his head, “Pigeons are no good, they are too weak to enter the Island of the Five Emperors.”

Lyvia asked, “Then how did he communicate with you?”

Stan hesitated and said sincerely, “Owls.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Lyvia recalled and nodded, “There were indeed a few strangely peculiar owls in Deer-Cutting Forest, confined in a cage.”

Stan smiled, “So, if you want to know the exact location of the Island of the Five Emperors, it’s simple. You don’t need to ask me, just write a note and send it through the owl’s postal tube, then follow the owl.”

“But owls only fly at night, so it’s hard to keep up with them in the dark.”

Stan then looked at Lyvia with affection and added with a broad smile, “That’s why you should see how well I treat you. I’ve even shared this secret with you. Shouldn’t you do something in return? Tell me, where is the Dragon-Slaying Blade?”

“If you don’t tell me, my patience will run out, and then I will kill you!”

But Lyvia remained nonchalant and asked, “Isn’t the Island of the Five Emperors supposed to send the so-called Five Elements Envoys to Emei? But aren’t the Five Elements Envoys five people?”

Stan sighed, “Ah, you are so stubborn. There’s no point in talking to you.”

As Stan was about to confront Lyvia, a young voice rang out from outside the Dragon-Watching Pavilion, “Ready to act, act with me!”

Who else could it be but Jun? Following his voice, before Stan could react, a figure appeared, and behind him, the remaining seven black-cloaked men all fell to the ground.
