Chapter 1689 – "We Greet The Elder!"
*****The leader looked from the token to Xavier, then back to the token, as if his mind were struggling to reconcile the man standing before him with the object he was holding.Whatever doubts he had entertained about Xavier's identity were rapidly crumbling, and the realization appeared to have struck him far harder than any insult could have.Unfortunately, his subordinates were still busy demonstrating how little they understood about the situation."Bastards, shut your damned mouths!" the squad leader suddenly roared.His shout exploded through the room with such force that it drowned out the combined voices of every armed man present.Several of them flinched, while others abruptly stopped mid-sentence, their mouths remaining open as though the leader had physically reached over and switched them off.They turned toward him in confusion."Leader...?" one of the men began cautiously.The squad leader wheeled around, his glare sharp enough to make the unfortunate subordinate recon
Chapter 1688 – The Token
*****For several seconds, Xavier, Mistress Ayra, and Sage Myron stared at the armed men surrounding them, their expressions caught somewhere between bewilderment and disbelief. The sudden confrontation had come so unexpectedly that even they needed a moment to process what was happening.A moment later, the three exchanged glances, each silently wondering whether the same ridiculous thought had crossed the others' minds.‘Did we somehow end up in the wrong place?’Xavier frowned slightly as he studied the men pointing their strange firearms at them. He had expected to encounter some form of security after stepping through Celestial Pearl's teleportation portal, but being greeted like a group of wanted criminals was hardly what he had in mind.Unless the organization had recently changed its hospitality policy to include armed intimidation, something clearly wasn't adding up.Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra, however, were far less inclined to find the situation amusing. Their initial con
Chapter 1687 – Enemies
*****For a moment, Sage Myron simply stared at Xavier, as though he had just heard a death sentence delivered by the one person he could never appeal to. The color drained from his face, and his eyes gradually filled with tears of despair."Sir, I..." He swallowed painfully before attempting to continue. "I have served you faithfully, haven't I? Surely, there are other people in this world who would be more suitable for such an important task. I can help you prepare everything you need before your departure. I can even personally arrange all the necessary resources!"He paused, searching desperately for another argument that might save him from the horrifying prospect of another teleportation journey."Perhaps I could remain behind and coordinate everything from here?"The plea was so earnest that Xavier finally lost control of his expression. Mistress Ayra also burst into laughter, and within seconds, both of them were laughing so hard that Sage Myron's desperate face became even mo
Chapter 1686 – The Hunt Begins II
*****Matthew’s expression hardened as he continued, the earlier satisfaction in his eyes giving way to ruthless determination.“Mobilize every intelligence organization operating in the city. I want them searching for that boy immediately.”“Establish checkpoints at every major intersection, monitor the roads leading into and out of the city, and make sure every available CCTV feed is being watched around the clock. I don't want people merely collecting information and handing me useless reports three hours later. I want actionable intelligence the moment they discover anything.”The two B-rank fighters exchanged a brief glance.Matthew was not making a casual request.He intended to use every resource available to him, and his orders would require a substantial mobilization of manpower. Roads would need to be monitored, personnel reassigned, surveillance systems checked, and countless people pulled away from their ordinary duties. The city would feel the effects of the operation bef
Chapter 1685 – The Hunt Begins
*****This outcome was far better than anything they could have anticipated.If Xavier had emerged from the cruise ship as they had originally expected, the situation would have been entirely different.With so many powerful cultivators gathered in one place, nearly everyone would have rushed to seize him, and the resulting confrontation could have been disastrous.Even if someone managed to overpower Xavier and claim his resources, there was no guarantee they would be able to keep their spoils.The moment the fighting began, every other cultivator would become a potential enemy, and the treasures they had fought so desperately to obtain might not even be enough to compensate for their losses.Now, however, the circumstances had changed completely.Xavier was no longer standing before a crowd of greedy cultivators who could all claim to have a chance at him.He had disappeared somewhere beyond their immediate reach, and nobody knew his exact whereabouts. That uncertainty had transform
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
