Chapter 1684 – Conclusion
*****“Judging by how excited you bunch of selfish fellows are, one would think you could actually afford to boycott Celestial Pearl,” she remarked lazily.The effect was immediate.Several heads turned toward her, and the expressions on their faces darkened.“Who dares…” one man spat, his voice rising as he turned toward the speaker.Then he saw her.The rest of his sentence died so abruptly that one might have suspected it had choked on its own stupidity.The cultivators around him suffered a similar transformation. Those who had been standing proudly a moment earlier suddenly looked as though they had wandered into the den of a sleeping monster and accidentally stepped on its tail.Several swallowed hard and lowered their heads, while others broke into a cold sweat despite the breeze blowing in from the water.Nobody needed to ask who she was. The notorious Demoness Celeste was not someone a sensible cultivator would provoke merely to prove that he possessed a functioning tongue.T
Chapter 1683 – Speculations Outside the Ship II
*****For an instant, even the people who had been shouting fell quiet. Their breathing hitched, and their pupils constricted as the possibility took root in their minds. The more they considered it, the more convincing it seemed.Xavier was practically a walking goldmine. Despite having no publicly known backing powerful enough to explain his behavior, he possessed an astonishing amount of wealth and access to resources that most cultivators could only dream of obtaining.He had spent lavishly at the auction, acquiring valuable items without displaying the slightest hesitation over their prices. To people who measured a man's worth by the treasures he carried, Xavier was less a person than an opportunity waiting to be exploited.And Celestial Pearl was hardly an exception to human greed.If the auction house had decided to eliminate him, it could potentially reclaim the enormous payments he had made for the items he purchased, recover the treasures it had sold him, and put those same
Chapter 1682 – Speculations Outside the Ship
*****Outside the cruise ship, only a handful of the Lower Realm attendees had chosen to leave, unwilling to risk becoming collateral damage in whatever confrontation was about to unfold.The people from the Upper Realm had spread themselves along the shore, their gazes fixed on the cruise ship's exits.Every one of them remained on high alert, watching for the slightest movement that might signal Xavier's appearance.Some stood with their arms folded, others wore impatient scowls, and a few had already begun imagining how they would deal with the young man once he finally emerged.Whatever their individual plans might have been, they shared one expectation: Xavier would eventually walk out of that ship, and when he did, he would have to answer for his actions.The people from the Lower Realm, meanwhile, had wisely stationed themselves much farther away.They understood the difference between watching a confrontation and volunteering to become part of it.The Upper Realm cultivators w
Chapter 1681 – Departure
*****The auctioneer gave Xavier a detailed account of the scattered Nightshadow Sect members, explaining their current locations and circumstances as far as Celestial Pearl’s intelligence network could determine.Xavier listened attentively, committing every important detail to memory. Some members had managed to establish themselves in unfamiliar territories, while others were still struggling to survive.Whatever their present circumstances, he intended to find them. Rebuilding Nightshadow Sect would be far from easy, but he had never expected the task to be accomplished in a day.“Thank you,” he said when she finished. Having obtained the information he wanted, Xavier rose from his seat and straightened his clothes. “I owe you one.”The auctioneer had heard those words countless times before, particularly from men who wanted something from her.Owing her a favor was practically a standard response whenever someone received assistance from Celestial Pearl, and over the years, she h
Chapter 1680 – The Intel
*****The auctioneer’s mind erupted with shock as the significance of his words sank in.Not many people knew about Nightshadow Sect, but Celestial Pearl certainly did. As an organization with access to an extensive information network, they had records of the ancient sect and the terrible tragedy that had brought it to ruin.They knew how its members had been forced to flee their pocket dimension, losing their home and the foundation upon which their entire sect had been built.They also knew what had happened to its former patriarch.He had suffered devastating injuries, had his cultivation ruined, and was eventually imprisoned in one of the most terrifying prisons in the country. His fate had been so grim that many people believed his death marked the final chapter of Nightshadow Sect.After that, the world had gradually stopped paying attention to the remnants of the fallen organization.Many powerful factions believed Nightshadow Sect was finished. Its members had been scattered,
Chapter 1679 – “I'm The Patriarch”
*****Mistress Ayra’s heart skipped a beat, and an overwhelming emotion surged through her chest so suddenly that she struggled to contain it.‘Sir Patriarch…’Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.She hadn't known what information Xavier intended to request. Even if she had tried to guess, she would never have imagined that his first priority would be finding the scattered members of Nightshadow Sect.She might have expected him to ask about powerful enemies, rare cultivation resources, hidden treasures, or information that would directly benefit his own advancement. After all, he had just secured access to one of the most influential information networks in the world. There were countless ways he could use such an advantage to strengthen himself.Yet he had chosen to ask about the surviving members of their sect.Xavier had not forgotten them.Even with all his strength and the countless opportunities available to him, he had not allowed the promise of rebuilding Nightshadow Sect to
