Chapter 893 Suspicions


    The elder responded, “It’s highly likely that what he said is true. At that time, I was tasked with holding


    off Ss. By the time I sessfully drove him away and arrived. Mr. Warde and his team had already


    dealt with Tigger.”


    “So, you didn’t actually witness Rodney killing Tigger, did you?” Caden asked.


    The elder hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and replied, “No.”


    After a moment of silence, Caden turned to Devon and suggested, “Mr. Jaillor, I think it would be best


    to have a word with the elders from the Origin Sword Sect”


    Devon was taken aback. “What’s wrong? Could this be a fake incident? Are you suspecting that Tigger


    is still alive? Do you think that Rodney was bribed by Tigger?”


    Caden’s eyes flickered as he said, “Bribery is out of the question. I merely suspect that Tigger was


    actually captured alive by Rodney, with the intention of forcing him to reveal the secret technique.”


    Upon hearing that, Devon also started having his doubts. He nodded and said, “I suppose that’s


    possible too.”


    Having the ability to utilize the secret technique multiple times in a short period meant that one could


    consecutively enhance their own strength, elevating it by a minor cultivation stage. Describing the


    secret technique as a supreme treasure would not be an exaggeration.


    They started putting themselves in the other party’s shoes. Would we have so easily killed the other


    man if we were to find ourselves in the same situation? Wouldn’t we want to interrogate him harshly in


    order to force him to reveal the secret technique?


    Caden’s suspicions were not without reason.


    His suspicion also stemmed from caring too much about his position as the leader of the Spirit Sword


    Sect.


    Actually, Rodney was the most senior member in the Spirit Sword Sect. Just like Caden, he was at the


    middle–phase of the Golden Elixir Stage. Considering his experience and seniority, it was only fitting


    that Rodney should assume the position of the sect leader.


    Regrettably, Rodney’sprehension of the sword energy was slightly inferior to that of Caden. The


    former was merely at the master level.


    1/3


    In the end, that slight advantage enabled Caden to ascend to the position of sect leader of the Spirit


    Sword Sect


    Therefore, Caden had a valid reason to suspect that Rodney intended to pressure Emrys into revealing


    his secret technique, with the intention of learning and practicing it himself. In the event of a


    confrontation, Caden would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.


    In order to safeguard his own position, it was only natural for Caden to be skeptical.


    Hence, Devon found his assumption logical and summoned several elders of the Origin Sword Sect,


    who had participated in the pursuit and assassination mission, one by one.


    The answer he received from everyone was that they each personally witnessed Rodney unleash the


    Ghost Sword Technique Twelfth Move on Tigger, destroying him into pieces, leaving behind only half of


    his mask.


    Given that everyone was singing the same tune, even if Caden harbored immense doubts, he had no


    choice but to dismiss his suspicions.


    Surely, they couldn’t all have been lying to cover for Rodney, could they?No, no way. something this


    outrageous really have happened?


    Could


    “Haha, it seems your suspicions were unwarranted, Mr. Szar. Perhaps Tigger was struggling


    violently at that time, leaving Mr. Warde with no choice but to strike him dead. You heard it just now.


    Tigger’s abilities were mysteriously powerful. He managed to kill two individuals who were at the early–


    phase of the Golden Elixir Stage. Capturing him alive won’t be as easy as we thought.”


    “Let’s hope so!”


    Caden sighed. He could not quite put his finger on it, but he was constantly gued by a sense of


    unease.


    Since the beginning, Tigger had been acting strangely. Despite having only reached the Energy


    Cultivation Stage, he somehow acquired the Sword King’s inheritance. Furthermore, he swiftly


    progressed to break through the Foundation Stage in no time.


    That was not even the most shocking part. What was truly astounding was that shortly after advancing


    to the Foundation Stage, he seeded in defeating Killian, whosebat prowess rivaled those of the


    Golden Elixir Stage. And now, Tigger had even in two elders of the sword sect. Who in their right


    mind would believe this?


    Caden had a vague sense that he might have provoked someone he should not have. However, given


    the circumstances, there was little he could do. All he could hope for was


    2/3


    that his concerns were baseless, like groundless fears.


    With a heartyugh, Devon casually remarked, “Well, if Ruben ces such high regard on that inheritor


    of the Sword King, shouldn’t we send over this half–mask as a token of our condolences?”


    Meanwhile, at the Soul Sword Sect, Ss expressed his guilt to Ruben, saying, “Mr. Ruben, I have


    failed in my duties. I was unable to protect the Sword King’s inheritor.”N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
