Chapter 503 - 497: Master of the Holy Soul Hall
A man with ordinary appearance and a low sense of presence, easily overlooked by the average person, was sitting on a luxurious dragon leather sofa, lightly tapping his fingers on a flawless table made from top-grade jade.
The oppressive atmosphere made the beast trainers standing straight in front of the leather sofa dare not to breathe.
It must be understood that, at this auction, there were as many as eleven recorded legendary figures. This terrifying power, if gathered together, could completely destroy a medium-sized state, or even establish a new one under the watchful eyes of beasts and mysterious beasts. However, the evil beast trainer succeeded, which considerably tarnished the reputation of the Goldsmith family.
Of course, the guests were only guests, and as the hosts, the Goldsmith family could not expect their guests to help. This would damage the prestige of the celestial Goldsmith family.
Nevertheless, the hundreds of master beast trainers, dozens of king beast trainers, and two legendary beast trainers who were always stationed at the Star Moon Tower were enough to suppress all the enemies with the Beastmaster Cooperation, even including legendary characters. That’s why Max Goldsmith, a legendary powerful one, was not worried.
Unfortunately, Max got tricked by a unique poison which had sealed his Arcane Force. He was unable to mobilize the powerful beast trainers in his family to help with their Beastmaster Cooperation.
Otherwise, the Son of the Earth who had undergone Genie Transformation could have obliterated all the enemies, which is also the reason why he temporarily left, leaving the auction in charge of Max.
“Max, you’ve let me down this time!”
The brief sentence by the white-browed man made Max tremble slightly, showing the power of the man.
In the Star Moon Tower, the only one who could scare a Legendary Powerful person with just one sentence is the ancestor of the Goldsmith family, who reached the Semi-Immortal Level hundreds of years ago and is second to none except the Immortals, the Celestial Ancestor!
Hearing the reproach of the ancestor, a reluctant Max could only bow down his proud head.
“Do you understand your mistake?” The Celestial Ancestor glanced at him.
“It’s my negligence!” Max admitted his mistake immediately, knowing that the ancestor never liked people who shirked their responsibility.
Even though this auction was meant to be hosted by the Celestial Ancestor, and that the thief’s presence would have been nullified if the Ancestor were present.
However, could Max, as a subordinate, put the blame on the ancestor?
Obviously not! That would be just adding fuel to the fire!
“Well, report everything that happened tonight to the Trainer Guild, then lead the Goldsmith team to purge all the hidden headquarters of the Sacred Soul Sect in the major cities, showing our power.”
After saying this, the Celestial Ancestor paused for a moment, “Max, don’t let me down this time!”
“I certainly won’t fail you, teacher.” said Max seriously, then he took the gold medal from the ancestor, his face showing a bit of hesitation.
“Is there anything else?” the Celestial Ancestor said.
“Grandmaster Hoyle’s personal apprentice was kidnapped at the auction, and she wants us to explain.”
“It’s just a disciple. You can handle this trivial issue by yourself.” The Celestial Ancestor frowned as if a bit displeased and waved his hand to signal Max to go execute the orders.
If it was not for an old friend suddenly calling for a meeting, he would have been the one to host the event. The attack on the auction and the Evil Beast Trainer secretly infiltrating the security system of the Star Moon Tower—these two matters adding up seemed too coincidental.
“Leiming Zun, I hope this issue has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, do not blame me for not regarding our hundreds of years of friendship.” The Celestial Ancestor closed his eyes.
“Lilith, David Jones is missing. What should we do?” Grau anxiously paced back and forth on the spot.
“Are you sure that before David disappeared, you didn’t sense any Arcane Force fluctuations?” Lilith furrowed her brows and asked.
“I’m sure!” Grau stopped in his tracks, so anxious that he even forgot about the Immortal Dragon he had won at auction.
“Only the Five-Hells Crown of the Sacred Soul Sect can elude your perception!” Lilith Hoyle said solemnly, feeling that things were becoming tricky.
The Five-Hells Crown was the personal War Artifact of the Evilheart Master. It was because of this War Artifact that the Evilheart Master could repeatedly evade capture by the Trainer Guild.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the Five-Hells Crown in Collins Clark’s hands could transport him and David Jones to the Sacred Soul Sect’s nest.
No, according to Rosalind Louise, she had glimpsed David Jones’s future through the “Erudite”, a future where he ascended to legendary status. Coupled with the Destiny Sacred Beast that accompanied David Jones, a person with such a strong destiny should not be cut down prematurely!
At this thought, Lilith Hoyle took out a multicoloured phoenix feather from her Star Ring and cast Pure Flames.
“The connection with Pure Kindling is still there, and the Flame Core has not gone out; David Jones must still be alive!”
Seeing this, Lilith Hoyle’s expression softened as she turned to Grau, who was crying non-stop, looking even more distressed than if he had lost his wife. “Stop crying, Grau. David Jones is not dead yet!”
“Not dead?” Grau wiped away his tears, quickly replacing his sobs with laughter.
Seeing this, Lilith Hoyle gave Grau a deep look.
Perhaps it was because Grau possessed traits from five different Giant Dragons, his emotions were extremely unstable, much like those of a child. Therefore, Lilith Hoyle didn’t think Grau felt a deep affection for David Jones. Instead, she thought Grau was behaving crazily!
“I have a Mystic Art that can track down the traces of the Pure Kindling left in David Jones. Let’s go after him directly!”
Lilith Hoyle temporarily put aside Gwendoline’s demand for Alchemy, straddling atop Grau, and dashed towards the sky where the darkness was receding with the break of dawn.
If David Jones had unfortunately passed away, she would ensure that every Evil Trainer within thousands of miles who wanted the Pure Kindling would be buried with him!
“Damn it, I was caught off guard!”
Sensing that he was in an unfamiliar place after his vision went dark, David Jones felt a sense of dread.
He had not expected to be targeted by an Evil Trainer just after attending an auction.
Seeing David Jones pretending to be unconscious while hugging the Immortal Dragon, his Arcane Force ready to spring into action, Collins Clark smiled and exposed the ruse.
“Stop pretending to be unconscious. The Five-Hells Crown does not attack the enemies inside,” he said.
Hearing this familiar voice, David Jones didn’t pretend anymore.
He opened his eyes, got up, and stared at the elderly man with youthful skin and clear eyes.
“Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Collins Clark, the master of the Sacred Soul Sect. I hope that you will cooperate and take out all the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk from your Star Ring.”
“The head of the Sacred Soul Sect? He’s here for the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk!” David Jones kept his expression unchanged and quickly pondered in his heart.
Seeing this, Collins Clark chuckled while stroking his beard, “As I expected, you do have plenty of Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk since you are Lilith Hoyle’s favourite student.”
“How could I possibly have a precious item like the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk,” David Jones quickly denied, intending to stall for time and devise a perfect strategy.
After all, the Evil Trainer in front of him was a Legendary Powerful One, with enough strength to take up a professorship at Rosewood College.. He was such a formidable existence that even Lolo might not be able to handle him!
