Making 824


    Jepson and Carey, who had fled miles into the sky, thought they had narrowly escaped with their


    lives.


    However, to their utter shock. Gilmore appeared beside them in a whoosh, as silently as if he were


    a ghost.


    With lightning–fast reflexes, Gilmore struck their acupoints.


    Before they could react, they were caught by Gilmore and carried back to the canyon.


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, Gilmore’s figure returned within the anima shield


    Amy, Yacouba, and all the armored warriors were left with their mouths agape in astonishment.


    “Oh my god!”


    Such speed was simply astonishing


    From the moment Gilmore left the protection of the anima shield to when he captured the fleeing


    Jepson and Carey and


    returned.


    This time, the whole process took only a breath’s time.


    Gilmore’s strength was terrifying.


    Watching Jepson and Carey, two elite cultivation martialists, now powerless in Gilmore’s hands like


    mere chicks, unable to fight back at all.


    Amy, Yacouba and the rest were at a loss for words to describe the shock they felt.


    All they could think was how mighty andmanding Gilmore was!


    After


    capturing Jepson and Carey and bringing them back into the anima shield, Gilmore released his


    grip, leaving them to


    float within the anima shield’s


    I’s space.


    Thanks to the anima shield’s energy, even without exerting any core energy, one could stand or sit


    as if on solid ground. without falling from the sky.


    Jepson and Carey were equally horrified, having been overpowered and captured by a young man,


    To them, this was truly an injustice.


    “Kid, who are you, and why did you ambush us?” Jepson said, his face dark with anger as he


    stared at Gilmore.


    Gilmore responded coolly, “My name is Gilmore. I wonder if you’ve heard of me?”


    Of course, Jepson and Carey had heard the name Gilmore.


    But even though they had heard about Gilmore and his doings in the Golden Tower Empire from the


    lips of Jaxon and Levi.


    They, like Levi, did not truly believe Gilmore was the Celestial, the fabled living dead man with white


    bones.


    In their eyes, Gilmore was nothing more than a man with exceptional medical skills.


    As for being the Celestial, that was aughable idea.


    However, at this moment, Jepson and Carey realized how wildly off the mark they had been in their


    understanding of Gilmore.


    Gilmore’s strength was far from the weakness they had imagined


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    By now, they had understood that the terrifying anima shield was Gilmore’s doing.


    It was not formed by Amy and Yacouba’s spiritual weapons.


    This meant that Gilmore was the real master among them, not Amy or Yacouba.


    On the other hand, Jepson and the others had always viewed Amy and Yacouba as important


    targets.


    They hadpletely overlooked the true master, Gilmore, and now they were paying a steep price


    for it.


    “Let us go, Gilmore. Otherwise, when you return to Fensville, my senior apprentice, the imperial


    preceptor, will not let this slide, Carey said to Gilmore.


    Gilmore just smirked. “Oh? Is your imperial preceptor more influential than Amy or Yacouba?


    “Or is it that even Huston can’t touch you?”


    Carey said. “Mr. Reed, in the Golden Tower Empire, the imperial preceptor can cover the sky with


    one hand And that emperor, who’s always dreaming of eternal life, is nothing but a figurehead.


    “You might not be aware, but before you set out for the Ice Mountains, the imperial preceptor had


    already bought off many courtiers and won over numerous generals with abination of favors


    and threats.


    “By the time you return to Fensville, the emperor of the Golden Tower Empire will likely have


    changed hands to the imperial preceptor.


    “And you will be powerless to change anything. Going back is simply marching to your doom.”


    Hearing this, a worried look naturally crept onto Amy’s face.


    Without a word, her thoughts were obviously on her father back in Fensville.


    However, Gilmore then assured her, “Amy, there’s no need to worry. The pce is protected by my


    Cosmic Star Formation. The imperial preceptor can stir up as much trouble as he likes, but he won’t


    be able to make big waves. Huston will be safe.”


    Amy recalled the Cosmic Star Formation in the pce, and her face slowly lost its anxious


    expression. She nodded at Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, I was overly concerned.”


    Jepson and Carey, on the other hand, looked puzzled.


    Obviously, they were all very curious: What was going on with the Cosmic Star Formation in the


    pce?
