Chapter 1144


    Gardiner threw the surfboard aside and said, "I received news that what you had done in the


    Recluse Association was forcefully covered up by someone, wasn''t it?"


    Henry shrugged his shoulders and didn''t say anything.


    "This time, you want the Section Nine to admit defeat? We admit defeat. You want me to help you


    build up your influence? I also want to help you build up your influence. I''m afraid that it won''t be


    long before there will be rumours in the outside world that you already possess the strength of the


    Divine Realm." Gardinerughed. "This time, can I offer to do you a favour?"


    Henry snorted and said, "You don''t have to do me this favor."

    "I know." Gardiner lit another cigarette for himself. "ording to your status, if you really start a war,


    Immortal Lu''s followers will definitely start a war against me without hesitation. But if they start a war


    against me, does it have no effect on you at all? Not to mention your lover is a person from Yan Xia.


    Your behaviour this time has exposed your identity. Many people have their eyes on you. If you start


    a fight with us, I''m afraid there will be a lot of pressure from the outside world. There are many


    rumours about Immortal Lu''s tomb."


    Henry did not refute. He knew that Gardiner was right. This time he let the underground forces


    spread the news. Although he could take advantage of the Section Nine to promote his power, he


    was also exposed. There were a lot of people who coveted the tomb of Master Lu.


    But this time, Henry''s purpose was to expose himself!


    Henry remembered what Verrall told him. Some things had to be faced sooner orter, so it was


    better to face them in advance.


    "If I''m exposed, then let it be. I''ll do whatever I can. I''m just risking my life." Henry was ready to risk


    his life.


    The reason why he left Yinzhou this time was to be stronger. Since Henry couldn''t find the


    cultivation method that belonged to him, he could only use the most ancient method.


    In a life- and- death situation, he would break through!


    "Henry, we can cooperate." Gardiner slowly spat out a smoke ring. "If you still want to build up


    momentum, I can help you with the Section Nine. What''s more, when the situation is chaotic, I can


    stand on your side without reservation. Do you


    understand what I mean?"


    Looking at the smoke ring that Gardiner spat out, Henry said in a low voice, "What do you want?"


    "The ancestral weapon of our Section Nine." Gardiner took a deep breath and said, "I know. But for


    what you know now, you don''t know where the ancestral weapon of our Section Nine is. You don''t


    even know anything about the ancestral weapons. But what I want is that you can return it to me


    when youe across it."


    Henry smiled. "You are so sure that the ancestral weapon of your Section Nine will fall into my


    hands."


    Gardiner showed a reminiscing look in his eyes. "In those days, Immortal Lu separated the Qi and


    soldiers of the major ns by force and made the two factions: ancient kungfu family and Qi-refining


    world. The ancient kungfu family and Qi are two totally different existences. They are equally


    powerful and there is no difference between the strong and the weak. However, due to some


    malnutrition, the ancient kungfu families gradually decline, while the ns are gradually bing


    stronger. In such a downturn, the birth of the ns has been a foregone conclusion. However, due


    to some kind of agreement, they can''t show up now. When they show up, the first thing they will do


    is search for the ancestral weapons. And the location of the ancestral weapons in the world is only


    known to Immortal Lu!"


    Henry shook his head. "Then you''re thinking too much. Master Lu didn''t tell me these things."


    "I didn''t think too much." Gardiner said firmly, "Immortal Lu wouldn''t choose a person as his disciple


    randomly. Although I don''t know why he didn''t teach you Qi-refming, I''m sure that you may have


    some secrets that you don''t know. I''m confident about that. Henry, although you are young, what


    you have done is very ambitious. Now, you just need to tell me your decision."


    Henry suddenly smiled and said, "Give you a promise that I don''t know if I can fulfil. I think everyone


    will ept this deal."


    "Then I wish we have a happy cooperation." Gardiner held out his hand to Henry.


    "I hope so." Henry smiled and shook hands with him. The cooperation was achieved.


    Gardiner picked up the surfboard that had just been thrown on the ground, smiled at Henry and


    said, "Since we have talked about everything that we should talk about, I won''t bother you anymore.


    Go to talk about the old men. Goodbye."


    After Gardiner finished speaking, he carried the surfboard and walked leisurely to the edge of the


    ind.


    On the other side of the ind, the Xue Family''s patriarch and other patriarchs appeared. All the


    n members came forward to pay their respects.


    Henry did not disturb them. After finishing their work, he served them a cup of wine in a temporary


    wooden house.


    These were all Justus''s followers, and Henry had seen them before. It was just that at that time,


    Henry was still young and immature, far from being as mature as he was now.


    It was also because of this incident that Congress came to an end, and no one wanted to go against


    Henry anymore.


    Although the Eight Qis Tribe and the Bryce Family were strong, they did not dare to go against the


    disciple of Immortal Lu.


    As for the Xue family, they were in a very embarrassing situation. They had been hostile to Henry


    before, but in the end, their ancestor was on Henry''s side. The Xue family no longer had any


    opposition, and they also took the initiative to make peace with the Qin Family and the Colver


    Family.


    Henry, a Future bishop of the Eastern Continent, could be regarded as the only candidate. When


    Sanford announced abdication, Henry could officially take over as a bishop.


    However, although Henry was just a bishop candidate, in other people''s eyes, Henry was no


    different from a bishop. Moreover, he was the strongest bishop among the seven continents of the


    Recluse Association.


    Rumours had already spread that Henry had already stepped foot into the Divine Realm!


    After the election, the meeting of the Recluse Association of the East was also over. There were


    some other procedures, such as voting, but they were ignored now. All the major forces left one


    after another.


    Henry had been staying on Peni Ind until everyone had left, including Sackcloth Visitor.


    Henry did not leave. He sat cross-legged on the highest cliff of Peni Ind alone and closed his


    eyes, like an old monk in meditation, motionless.


    When the sun fell on the horizon, the light in the sky disappeared.


    Henry''s closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment, and he said, "Everyone, after waiting for so


    long, it''s time to show up. There is no one else on the ind."


    "Ah, Henry!" A cold voice came from behind Henry. "I really don''t know whether I should praise you


    for your courage or for your stupidity. Should you stay here alone?" "I think that this person is


    confident in himself. After all, there are already rumours saying that he has stepped into the Divine


    Realm." A figure appeared at the bottom of the cliff in front of Henry.


    "The Divine Realm? I don''t believe it." Another figure walked out from the darkness. "If it''s so easy


    to enter the Divine Realm, then there wouldn''t be so many people dying in the Qi-concentrating


    realm."


    "Test him and you''ll find out!"
