Mr. Shita, a skilled practitioner from the Shadow de Sect, had taken down several strong opponents in the Ski region at L’s hands. Within the sect, L had been designated as the number one enemy and someone not to be provoked easily. Thus, upon seeing L, Mr. Shita immediately recognized him.


    “Hey!” Despite feeling resentful, Akaishi bowed reluctantly upon hearing this. Suddenly, a cold chuckle echoed through the room. A diminutive figure appeared, walking towards Mr. Shita. This figure had tied-back hair and didn’t look like a modern person. Standing with folded arms, exuding an air of aloofness, their aged face disyed a fierce and rebellious aura sharper than that of a younger person.


    “Mr. Shita, you’re too cautious! I, personally, will intervene. Even if we disturb the Priocia practitioners, so what? Anyone who dares interfere in this matter will face my wrath!” The diminutive figure spoke arrogantly.


    Mr. Shita respectfully replied, “Yes, Master Kuroki, you’re right. I did not mean to disrespect you; I simply wished to avoid trouble. With your power, there is no need for such concerns.” Mr. Shita’s tone was humble and fearful, reflecting deep reverence in his eyes.


    The diminutive figure was an unparalleled expert from the Thousand Birds Gate, a historical martial sect within Ski. The Thousand Birds Gate surpassed the Shadow de Sect in strength, and the figure’s power was inscrutable, surpassing even Mr. Shita, a Divine Realm expert.


    Later on, they dismissed Akaishi and discussed the specifics of their n to seize the ind.


    A day passed, and L received a call from Tommy, leading him back to the Sun Moon Securitypany. The same office as before now held a group of people. As L entered, his eyes narrowed slightly. He felt a mix of fear and excitement. Fear because there were five Nascent Soul experts sent by the Sun Moon Sect, with the strongest reaching the peak of the Nascent Soulter stage. Alongside them were eighteen Golden Core experts, all at the Golden Coreter stage or higher.


    Excitement surged in L as he believed with this lineup, seizing the ind from the Willis family should be nearly guaranteed. It appeared that the Sun Moon Sect was serious about obtaining the Spiritual Vein.


    “Kid, were you the one who ryed the message?” At that moment, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect’s experts, a bearded man known as Fiery Dragon, scrutinized L, asking in a booming voice. Strong and robust, with keen eyes, Fiery Dragon was the Nascent Soulter stage powerhouse of the sect, known for his terrifying strength.


    L nodded and politely inquired, “How should I address you, sir?” Fiery Dragon replied, “Humph, call me Elder Fiery. Early Golden Core? Not bad for your age. Which sect are you from?”


    L hesitated for a moment, deciding not to reveal his affiliation with the Broken Pulse Sect. He responded, “I have no sect.”


    Fiery Dragon continued, “For your age and strength, not belonging to a sect is impressive. Were your ancestors skilled?”


    L vaguely replied, “Somewhat…”


    “Hmph!” Fiery Dragon snorted, sensing L’s evasiveness and reluctance to reveal too much about himself. He decided not to press further. As far as he was concerned, L’s role this time was simply to provide information and guide them to the ind. In essence, the Sun Moon Sect had no intention of sharing the Spiritual Vein with L. If he yed along, that would be fine. If not…


    After acquainting themselves and discussing specific details with the Sun Moon Sect members, L awaited Gilberto’s message, preparing to board the ship.


    Two dayster…


    At a port in Slocmore, a luxurious cruise ship was docked. This vessel was controlled by Quentin, ostensibly a cruise ship for sea sightseeing, but in reality, it doubled as a luxury casino. It provided not only gambling but also various grey services, making it a veritable “money pit.”


    A line of Mercedes-Benz vehicles came to a stop, and a group of people disembarked. Leading them was a young man sporting sunsses, adorned in luxurious attire, exuding a rebellious air.


    He carried himself with an air of arrogance, as if he were a young master emerging from a noble family. The others followed closely, walking with amanding presence. The scene was grand and imposing.


    “Young master, is this the cruise ship?” A stout man with graying beard and eyebrows, known as the “head steward,” asked beside the young man.


    “Yes, Uncle Fiery, this is the one! Let’s go,” the “young master” nodded and gestured with his hand. This young man was none other than L, disguised in a new appearance. The attendants and bodyguards behind him were not Sun Moon Sect’s numerous experts, then who were they?


    L couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of boarding with five Nascent Soul experts and a group of Golden Core experts. The feeling was nothing short of exhrating. The group marched gantly towards the boarding gate.


    “Sir, please present your VIP card!” A subordinate of Mesosaurus at the boarding gate politely requested L to show his membership card.


    L nodded, took out a card, and handed it over. The subordinate scanned the card with a device to confirm its authenticity.


    “Please! Have a pleasant journey!” The subordinate smiled and gestured L to board.


    “Just a moment!” At that moment, a deep voice rang out. A rugged man with sharp eyes red at L, assessing him. “Young man, is this your first time on our ship? You seem a bit unfamiliar,” the rugged man inquired with a smile.


    “Yes, it’s my first time! I heard your cruise service is excellent, so I thought I’d give it a try. Any issues?” L nodded, his tone slightly haughty, showing impatience.


    “Haha, no issues! But, young master, do you have a sponsor?” The rugged man asked. The luxury cruise ship operated on a membership system, with each member expected to refer others to ensure safety.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Mr. Carter from the Medical Business Alliance of Corl Delta is an uncle of mine who sent me here,” L replied curtly.


    “Ah, Mr. Carter’s guest. Please proceed!” Upon hearing this, the rugged man allowed L to board. With a grunt, L, apanied by over twenty people, swaggered onto the ship.


    After boarding, the rugged man pulled out his phone and made a call. “Boss, did Mr. Carter from the Medical Business Alliance of Corl Delta send a guest?”


    The voice on the other end responded in a deep tone, “Gilberto? He introduced a guest, a young man named Willis Graham, right?”


    “I’m not sure about his name, but the membership card is genuine,” the rugged man replied.


    “In that case, there’s no issue! By the way, Gilberto says this kid is a fatmb. Hehe… Let’s prepare something for him when the timees!” The sly voice chuckled deviously.


    “Understood, boss! This kid seems pretty cocky, traveling with twenty or thirty entourage members, all driving Mercedes-Benz G-ss vehicles. Quite impressive! I wonder which big shot he is. He’s in for a surprise!”


    “Haha…”


    When L and his group boarded the ship, another group, led by a “member,” also embarked on the luxury cruise ship. At the helm was Master Kuroki from the Ski Thousand Birds Gate, apanied by several other Ski experts.
