At this moment, Semaj was filled with murderous intent towards L.


    If L had only obtained some kind of great opportunity and be a cultivator, what would he have to worry about? Of course, it would be to tear this guy into pieces and avenge his brother! He might even kill him and seize the opportunity that originally belonged to him.


    “Semaj, what do you mean? I think it’s better to be cautious! What you said is possible, but we cannot rule out the possibility of strict requirements from the forces behind this guy for their disciples who are practicing outside. Don’t forget how Verdant Pine died,” Trace said in a deep voice.


    “Trace, I am more inclined now that the old lunatic’s attack was just a coincidence! Don’t worry, I know what to do! I will make sure that old lunatic is not with Landon before deciding whether or not to take action,” Semaj said.


    “Good! Then go ahead and act as you see fit,” Trace didn’t say anything else.


    If Semaj wasn’t afraid of death and insisted on killing “Landon”, he had no objections either.


    …


    The next morning, L received a call from Raphael who told him they were already on their way and estimated they would arrive in Ednd in less than an hour.


    They agreed to meet at Ranlins Manor in the western suburbs of Ednd.


    This farmhouse estate used to belong to Tiger but fell into Mason’s hands after Tiger was wiped out. L remained wary of Raphael; there was no way he could bring him home with him.


    At half-past ten, L drove to Ranlins Manor. This ce was under the charge of a trusted subordinate of Mason named Titan. After L arrived, Titan arranged a private room for him.


    “Mr. Willis, is this private room suitable?” Titan opened the most luxurious room and respectfully asked L as they entered.


    “It’s fine, just for discussing some matters,” L replied casually.


    Titan nodded and said, “Please have a seat, Mr. Willis. I will take my leave.”


    L was about to nod, but at that moment, his expression changed. He saw an elderly man with a spirited aura casually push open the door of the private room and walk in.


    Upon seeing this old man, L’s pupils slightly contracted, and a hint of seriousness appeared on his face.


    “Titan, close for business at noon today! Disperse the people here, I have matters to attend to. And no matter what happenster, do not contact your boss,” he calmly instructed Titan.


    Titan was momentarily stunned. He scrutinized the elderly man who had entered the room and respectfullyplied with L’s orders. The inner circle of Mason held a fanatical admiration for L. Moreover, Mason had repeatedly told them that what L said represented his intentions. Therefore, Titan wouldn’t question L’s instructions.


    After Titan closed the door and left, the old man looked at L, a yful cold smile appearing on his face.


    “Young man, should I call you Landon or L?”


    L stared at the man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you a member of the Wood family, hidden from the world?”


    The visitor was Semaj!


    He bore a resemnce of about sixty to seventy percent to Verdant Pine, and L recognized him at a nce. At the same time, he also discerned the man’s strength.


    A Golden Core expert!


    Even if it was only the early stage of Golden Core, it still exerted tremendous pressure on L. That was why he instructed Titan not to contact Mason in case of trouble, to avoid unnecessary casualties. If he couldn’t handle it himself, Mason bringing people would only be sending them to their deaths.


    At this moment, he was hoping that Raphael would arrive as soon as possible. Facing a Golden Core expert, L wasn’t sure if he had the strength to fight. After all, once one entered the Golden Core Realm, their attacks and defenses contained attribute enhancements, giving them an absolute advantage over cultivators below Golden Core.


    “Good perception,” Semaj said coldly, then with a somewhat sinister tone, he questioned, “Young man, my elder brother died because of you. Shouldn’t you give me an exnation?”


    “Your elder brother is Verdant Pine, right? I didn’t provoke him, but he wanted to intercept and kill me. I’m not to me for this,” L replied expressionlessly.


    Upon hearing this, Semaj’s expression darkened. “Oh? So, what you mean is that my elder brother deserved to die?”


    “Heh…,” Lughed lightly, then his tone shifted, “I never said that! Besides, I didn’t kill him. You can’t find fault with me, can you?”


    Semaj raised an eyebrow, and a wicked smile appeared on his face. “You didn’t kill him? That crazy old man killed my brother, and it has nothing to do with you?”


    “In other words, you’re implying that the crazy old man has nothing to do with you?”


    He captured anotheryer of meaning in L’s words, and a concern that had been lingering in his mind seemed to disappear instantly.


    L’s eyes flickered a few times upon hearing this, realizing that he seemed to have… said something wrong.


    “Young man, that crazy old man is no longer by your side, right? In reality, he has nothing to do with you, right?” Semaj stared at L and asked menacingly.


    L, seeing Semaj’s posture, had already prepared himself to act at any moment. However, on the surface, he still tried to buy time and said, “You’re mistaken! That was one of my elders who is secretly protecting me. If you try to harm me, be careful not to be pped to death by him.”


    “Oh? Why don’t you let hime out so I can see?” Semaj replied.


    “Stop pretending! I know that crazy old man is not here.”


    “But I’m not an unreasonable person either. How about this,e with me to the hidden Wood family, and we’ll rify everything,” Semaj chuckled yfully and then wore a cunning expression.


    To be safe, he decided to test the waters a bit more. Instead of directly attacking and killing L, he expressed his intention to “take” L away.


    If that crazy old man was really protecting L secretly, this situation should reveal itself, right? And it shouldn’t result in him being immediately killed.


    However, as his words fell, no one appeared at all, which made Semajpletely let his guard down.


    L, on the other hand, questioned with a calm face, “Take me to the hidden Wood family? I’ve said it before, it was Verdant Pine who tried to intercept and kill me first, and I didn’t kill him. What gives you the right toe after me? Is this what you call reasoning? The hidden Wood family seems to be taking advantage of their power, don’t you think?”


    Hearing this, Semaj no longer held back and burst intoughter. “Reasoning? Do you think you’re qualified to reason with me? That’s right, I am taking advantage of my power. What can you do about it, kid? Die!”


    With that, his expression turned fierce, and he directly attacked L.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    But L was already prepared, and the cial River Dragon Sparrow de appeared in his hand instantly as he swung it towards Semaj with full force.


    Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan, the first move, unleashed with all his power!
