Mystical Journey

Panda Novel

Garen observed that the eyes of these beautiful women seemed to be a little dull, giving a feeling that they were not able to focus.

“Let’s be straightforward. What do you want from me? Don’t worry about them. They can’t hear, see or speak.” Ron explained casually.

Garen quickly understood what he meant. These beautiful women were all deaf, mute and blind. Obviously, it was impossible for them to be born as such; they were made disabled to prevent them from leaking any secrets. Ron was so ruthless that he made all these beautiful women deaf, mute and blind.

“The main reason why I am here to visit Senior Brother Ron was because I bumped into your energy machinery substitute in Tiga Forest. It seemed like he encountered something troublesome and was badly injured. He asked me to send a message to let you know that he met a strong enemy. He also said that as long as I personally delivered this message, I will be given a reward.” Garen lied to him, a story he made up earlier before coming.

“A strong enemy?” Ron casually waved one of his hands, and suddenly, a few clear crystals flashed around him, and it seemed like he was starting to get in touch with his substitutes. However, he quickly frowned, clearly, he was not able to contact his fallen substitutes.

Bang!

Ron kicked the beautiful women away beside him and stood up abruptly.

“Junior Brother, please have a rest here. I have something urgent to attend to.”

“Take your time, Senior Brother.” Garen nodded.

From what it seemed, Ron was not informed that his substitute was dead. Obviously, the connection between the both of them was not that strong.

Garen’s initial killing intention went down slowly. If that is the case, no one will find out that it was he who killed the two substitutes. It was good news that for the time being, and he need not become hostile towards the both of them.

After all, it was not the best timing. However, everything was based on Ron’s reaction.

After a short while, Ron returned with a stern look on his face.

“I would like to thank you. Otherwise, I would not have noticed that something went wrong over there.”

“Senior Brother, you are being too modest.”

“Are you willing to bring me to the place where you meet my substitute?” Ron asked lightly, but his tone was an unquestionable affirmative tone.

“Sure.” Garen nodded.

********************

Tiga Forest

This was the place where Garen fought previously with the two substitutes. The place was now burnt black, white mist surrounded the area, and the entire sea of ​​trees had signs of being ravaged by a big fire.

More than a dozen levitating airships brought a large number of inspectors and detection personnel. They were attempting to replay the scenario.

Both Ron and Barrow have arrived. They stood in front of Garen, both of their backs facing him. They walked slowly on the scorched land and investigated the situation.

Barrow had a ghastly look on his face.

“A strong radiation is interfering with everything here. All the traces of what was remained are being affected by the radiation, and we could not find anything that is of any use.”

“Furthermore, the murderer also implanted a crystal configuration shield in advance, and each time a piece of crystal is broken, its endurance will once again be maximized. This guy is certainly not just any ordinary murderer, just a piece of crystal configuration is worth hundred thousands of crystals. An ordinary person will not be able to afford it!” One of the experts explained softly.

“Also, there are some remains of an extremely powerful high-energy response. It seems like there is a very strong heat energy here, which was caused by an explosion. This heat energy is extremely powerful!!” Another expert said softly.

“It appears to be an attack in a form of a light pillar. I seem to have seen a halo in the sea of ​​trees that day, but it happened in a flash.” Garen intervened.

“You saw that!?” Ron turned around and said harshly. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier on? Tell us quickly what happened!?”

Garen was not angry. As he told them the entire story, he purposely left out and added information. Furthermore, he had already cleared the battlefield, hence the information he shared was completely distorted.

“What if we re-simulate and restore what happened at that time? Let’s find out what kind of forces were able to defeat Senior Brothers’ substitutes and prevent them from escaping?” Garen proposed.

“Right, the effect of virtual simulation is not very obvious, an on-site simulation will allow us to achieve a higher level of restoration.” Another expert nodded in agreement.

“I’ve found someone to investigate the previous satellite surveillance video. Although it is shielded here, part of their previous activity should be recorded.” Another expert followed.

Ron and Barrow had an ashen look on their face. Their actions had always been very secretive, if their whereabouts were being monitored by the satellite, then it would be very embarrassing.

Barrow thought for a moment. He was about to go to Ron to discuss looking for another Junior Brother expert in tracking and investigation when he felt a faint buzzing noise from his surroundings. It seemed like something was broken.

“What sound is that?” He frowned.

“It sounds like… something broke?” Garen frowned and said uncertainly. Suddenly, the expression on his face changed, he looked at Ron horrifyingly and rushed over.

“Senior Brother, careful! Behind you!”

He shouted and rushed behind Ron.

Ron was startled. He was about to turn around when he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

Tss!!

A sword with its tip covered in blood slowly slid out of his chest.

He lowered his head and turned around with great difficulty. He saw Garen’s smiling face as he pierced an elongated sword that was burning in blue flame into his chest.

“A mere… mid-level five… how… is it possible!!!??” He could not believe that a young man with only a mid-level five resonance could actually break through his force field defense, bypass his genes and physical defenses and instantly pierce through his heart.

He could not even react to the sudden change, even Barrow was dumbfounded.

The other people around them started shouting and screaming.

Ron was dead?!

Ron’s actual body died?! In the hands of his Junior Brother?!

Immediately afterward, it was no doubt that he will need to kill all the witnesses! Most of the people felt despair — since most of them were close to Ron and Barrow, they naturally knew what did Ron’s death represented.

Some of them began to suppress their fear as they quietly moved towards the woods, whereas some of them hid carefully, and took out a communication device with an intention to spread the news.

Tss!

Dripping of fresh blood, the sword was pulled out from Ron’s body and flung on the side, leaving a streak of blood on the ground. The piece of burnt land filled with a faint scent of fresh blood once again.

Ba-thump.

Ron grabbed his chest and fell kneeling on to the ground, his eyes widened abnormally. The strike was swift and poisonous. The transfer of energy and traces of high heat radiation rapidly eroded Ron’s entire body from top to bottom, completely destroying his seemingly powerful two-moon level willpower.

The luster in Ron’s eyes quickly faded. He had never expected this. Being a savage all his life, how could he die in such a peaceful manner in the hands of a mid-level five Junior Brother whom he looked down on. Garen’s smile which looked as though he had everything under control seemed abnormally cold in his eyes. The smile seemed gentle, but it gave him chills all over his body.

“There are a lot of things.” Garen raised the magic sword, his mouth curled up into a faint smile. “Actually, if you were to investigate carefully, you will be able to find some clues, so the safest way is to thoroughly eliminate any future threat. After killing everyone who might come investigate, then it will be absolutely fine, right?”

Barrow was solemn. He unconsciously took a few steps back, staring vigilantly at Garen. To be precise, he was staring at the sword in Garen’s hand.

“Was that a crystal configuration shield?!”

“Compared to that idiot, Ron, you’re definitely much smarter.” Garen nodded. “And that’s why you were not my first target; firstly, because he was stronger, and secondly because you are more alert.”

“What a crude yet effective scheme.” Barrow said dully, “But the crucial point is that we never believed that a mid-level five energy machinery could pose any threat to us. You are making use of the fact that everyone will logically think that it was impossible, which caused Ron to lower his guard and then kill him!”

“That’s right.” Garen clapped and gently waved his hands. A large number of blue flames flew out from the tip of the sword. Like tiny little fireflies, they landed accurately on the crowd who were trying to escape.

The blue flames suddenly intensified and lighted up after one another.

Thump!!

The small-sized airship above was burnt by the blue flame easily and exploded after being pierced through the furnace. The airships exploded after one another as if it was the most beautiful and expensive fireworks during the daytime.

The energy machinists’ amazingly fine calculation power was being fully utilized at this moment. Garen suddenly dispersed the blue flame into hundreds of them, instantly killed all living creatures including burning the airship above him, with the two of them an exception.

Their surroundings turned into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

As the glow of the fire shone on them, its shadows cast on the ground was like a demon with baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Drops of sweats trickled slowly down Barrow’s temples. He dared not move, the power of the sword in Garen’s hands was way too terrifying. He even felt a piercing pain just by looking at it.

“What are your last words?” Garen looked at him with a spurious smile.

“Let’s make a deal.” Barrow did not wipe away his sweat. He looked at Garen nervously, trying to find a slim chance of survival.

“A deal? What deal?” Garen said casually.

“Ron’s dead, the elders will not let it go at that, you should understand this. I, I can help you cover up Ron’s death. As long as you make it through the Great Elder’s wrath, you can only safely and secretly transfer all his wealth and property through me! This offer will definitely benefit you!”

Barrow said quickly.

“If you don’t believe me, you can use the Heart Seal on me.”

“Heart Seal?” Garen raised one of his brows.

“Yes, the seal of oaths.” Barrow nodded. “I’m an expert in Seal of Faith. If I were to make an oath with my energy machinery, the Seal of Faith will naturally form a binding force. You should also know this.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about it. Ron’s property…” Garen lowered his head and muttered. “The Great Elders? That is indeed troublesome. Why not you make an oath first.”

He was moved by Ron’s wealth and property.

Barrow’s heart shuddered slightly. He raised his hand, and a transparent square seal slowly appeared on his palm. Threads of golden striation slowly lighted up on the top of the seal.

“In the name of Barrow Hertha, I swear that I am willing to cooperate with Junior Brother, Garen, and keep today’s affairs a secret…”

He continued to pledge as he watched Garen stared at him mockingly. The feeling of being humiliated washed over him like a tide. He has lived for hundreds of years, but was being put into such position by a junior!

Wait and see… he must escape and find his master. Garen must die painfully!!! And that sword…if even a mere mid-level five energy machinist was able to exert such a terrifying strength, imagine if he were to get it…

This ambitious thought spread through his mind like a wildfire.

No one knew that the Seal of Oath that he used was not the authentic seal that was thought of in the sect, but another version that he found from other places. The key to this version was that this Seal of Oath will not have any binding force. He used this trick multiple times against unbeatable opponents to cheat death, and it was no different this time.

“…sealed.” Barrow slowly lifted the seal in his hand and moved it gently towards Garen.

Suddenly, the expression on his face changed dramatically and he quickly flew backward. Transparent seals suddenly gushed out of him shooting to the front in an attempt to block the golden-blue long sword.

Tss!!

The endless golden-blue flame destroyed all the seals, and Barrow was stabbed right in between his eyebrows.

Garen held the sword with both of his hands and looked at Barrow in close proximity.

“Why…?”

“Why not, since I have already made a move, it’s only natural for me to kill all of you,” Garen said rightfully.
