The vige was in chaos at this moment!


    The recent battle between Kyrie, Wicked Bone, and Ss had caused extensive damage to many people and houses. Buildings and various structures copsed, and many lives were lost.


    With Wicked Bone’s escape and witnessing the intense battle of the powerful warriors, the residents of the vige scattered in panic as if facing doomsday. In their hearts, Wicked Bone was like a god, and they felt a copse of their faith.


    Meanwhile, L searched and inquired throughout the vige, trying to find any trace of Summer.


    Wicked Bone had imed she was dead over the phone, but L held onto a glimmer of hope. In the end, he returned to the ruins of the small building at the center of the vige, hoping to find some useful clues or items there.


    As L approached a certain distance, he suddenly sensed a faint soul connection.


    “Summer!” His face froze, and he immediately started rummaging through the debris.


    Finally, he uncovered a piece of blood-red jade that exuded a grim aura. Using a soulmand token, L subdued Summer, feeling the connection emanating from the blood jade.


    With a single thought, a miniature figure appeared within the blood jade. The figure seemed distorted and not quite like Summer’s soul.


    “Master…” Summer directlymunicated with L through the soul connection, her voice ethereal and elusive, as if not entirely real.


    It carried a mixture of surprise, sorrow, and despair. She had died, her soul imprisoned within the blood jade by Wicked Bone, the sheer hopelessness evident.


    L looked at the soul within the blood jade, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.


    After all, Summer had died for him. Thinking back to when she called him before, and how he had doubted her, L couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt and heartache.


    “Summer, I’m sorry! It’s my fault that you suffered!”


    L took a deep breath andmunicated with her soul. At this moment, any grudge he held against this woman hadpletely dissipated. All that remained was a sense of gratitude and remorse.


    “Master, don’t say that! I don’t regret dying for you!”


    “By the way, how is Nora? Is she okay?” Summer’s soul asked. At this point, she had already died, but her greatest concern was Nora’s well-being. If Nora had been harmed by Wicked Bone, her death would have been meaningless.


    “Don’t worry! My daughter is safe,” L assured her with a sigh. “Thanks to you…”


    Upon hearing this news, a hint of relief appeared in Summer’s soul within the blood jade. “That’s good to hear…”


    At this moment, a determined expression filled L’s eyes. “Summer, I won’t let you just die like this. Your soul is still here, so everything will be alright. One day, I will help you rebuild your physical body and bring you back to life.”


    Hearing these words, Summer’s soul trembled, and her voice carried a mix of anticipation and gratitude. “Good! Master, I believe in you.”


    “Yes! As long as I’m alive, I will make it happen. Stay in the blood jade for now, and I will ensure your soul remains intact,” L nodded, speaking with utmost seriousness.


    Although this journey didn’t result in avenging his parents by killing Wicked Bone, L had sessfully rescued Nora, achieving half of his goal.


    After leaving Vanatown with Kyrie and the others, L spent several days ying and bonding with Nora.


    During this time, Nora missed her mother, Miranda, and wanted to go home to see her before parting ways with her father. However, L managed to deceive her and avoid the topic.


    Nora was L’s most cherished treasure, and he couldn’t allow her near Miranda at this time.


    The Dragon Ancestor’s Soul had mentioned that Miranda was no longer herself and had been possessed by a powerful soul entity. She was like a time bomb, and nobody knew what she was capable of.


    Two dayster…


    Nora was taken away by Kyrie, heading to the Broken Pulse Sect. Meanwhile, on the other side…


    In the ancient Willis family’s secluded sect territory, within a secret chamber…


    Wicked Bone knelt there, and in front of him sat a man with a gloomy expression. The man’s specific age couldn’t be discerned; he sat there like an unfathomable abyss.


    “What? The inheritance has already been obtained?” the man asked with a darkened face. “After that traitor Niks?”


    “Yes, it’s Niks’ grandson, a young man named L,” Wicked Bone respectfully replied.


    “Good! I know,” the man nodded, then his tone shifted as he asked, “Does anyone else know about this information?”


    Upon hearing this, Wicked Bone kneeling on the ground couldn’t help but tremble, fearfully reporting, “This… I’m afraid there are others who know. Because L revealed this information himself to save his daughter from my hands. Besides, the people who helped him confront me, like Kyrie, are likely aware of this news. In addition, Ss also knows…”


    As the words fell, the man’s face immediately turned grim.


    Swoosh!


    In the next instant, apanied by a gust of powerful wind, the man grabbed Wicked Bone by the neck, lifting him up.


    Wicked Bone, a formidable Nascent Soul Realm expert, was like a helpless chick in front of the man, utterly powerless to resist.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “You despicable creature!” the man gritted his teeth, his tone full of menace. “You dare y tricks on me? Seeking death!”


    Wicked Bone’s legs iled about as he panic-strickenly said, “Elder, I dare not! I really dare not!”


    “Dare not? Did you already know about this news and had intentions for the inheritance, so you kept it from me? Now that it’s bing impossible to hide, you decided to inform me, is that right?” the man asked coldly, his eyes narrowed into slits, dangerous glints shining through.


    “No… that’s not true! Elder, please listen to me. I didn’t have a chance to inform you. As soon as I received this news, L and Kyrie came quickly. Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare deceive you,” Wicked Bone exined.


    “Hmph! Do you take me for a fool?” the man scoffed, not believing a word.


    Boom!


    In the next instant, a muffled sound echoed. Wicked Bone’s body was sent flying,nding on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, clutching a sensitive area of his body. Underneath him, some yellow liquid even seeped out. He had been kicked away by the man.


    “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re still useful, today would be your day of death! How dare you y tricks on me? Hmph!”
