Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Again, the Son-in-law Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Again, the Son-in-law Devlin drove his off-road vehicle, speeding dozens of kiloters out of Star City before sneaking into a forest.
He stripped off his clothes, covered in cold sweat.
It was so close!
Just a little bit!
He would have died in Star City.
After removing his shirt, a symbol appeared on his chest.
The mark of the Vein Holder of the Sealing Pulse, on his chest.
Ordinary mbers had it tattooed on their arms.
“Elaenor Wood, back when we competed to be the Vein Holder, we were rivals! Who would have thought that hundreds of years later, we’re still rivals in the struggle for the Divine Dragon Tripod.”
Leaning against a tree, Devlin tried to light a cigarette, but fearing the light might expose his position, he reluctantly put it away.
Elaenor Wood had guessed right.
Devlin was indeed Aziz Fairbanks.
Within the Sealing Pulse, he was known as Raheem Fairbanks, also referred to simply as Fairbanks.
But externally, similar to how Isabella Warm used the alias Leander Sylvan.
Aziz also used the alias Aziz Fairbanks.
After failing to beco the Vein Holder, Elaenor Wood left in anger, adopting the na Elaenor Wood.
And chose the riskiest thod, competing in dicine mixing with Julius Reed.
After faking his death, he was carried to Boulevard, waiting for fate’s arrangent.
Afterward, Devlin renad the Sealing Pulse to Ghost Sword Sect, eliminating those who supported Elaenor Wood, wishing to spend his days in peace.
The so-called Pendleton, the so-called Seven Veins, had been resisting for hundreds of years, leaving Devlin with no hope.
Years later, Devlin felt his ti was running out.
His end was near.
According to the rules of the Sealing Pulse, the Vein Holder must enter the grand tomb they built during their lifeti, and quietly wait for death.
And several trusted associates would be buried along with him.
Waiting for death was painful.
Even though Devlin had beco the Vein Holder and enjoyed all its glory.
He was still not content!
No one could resist the allure of immortality.
Thus, Devlin stepped out of the grand tomb and went to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
Immortality had a price.
Even though Devlin did not achieve immortality but only extended his life by several hundred years.
Still, it made him lose his cultivation skills, reducing him to a cripple.
Barely surviving.
Although with his vast experience and cunning strategies, he still managed quite comfortably.
But ultimately, he couldn’t even touch the threshold of a Grandmaster.
Devlin was not content!
He saw that Granny Xihua, after extending her life, still possessed the power of a Great Grandmaster.
And the Holy Master, as an immortal, was invincible in the world!
Thus, he left the Ghost Sword Sect, adopting the na Devlin, and joined the Thunderpeak Hall.
He tried to uncover the truth through Sylvan.
When he learned that the Divine Dragon Tripod could restore his cultivation skills, or grant him immortality, Devlin was tempted.
He began to attempt a layout!
Trying to play a big ga!
Years ago, his joining the Seven Clouds Academy was arranged by the Holy Master.
It related to a huge secret.
It was the Holy Master’s first strategy concerning Pendleton.
Devlin had guarded this secret for four years.
After the Holy Master lost his mory, Devlin turned against him once again.
This secret, before the Holy Master regained his mory, was known only to him.
“Elaenor Wood, I defeated you once before, and I can do it again now!”
Devlin put his clothes on and vanished into the darkness.
He was going to kill soone.
A traitor.
Nathanael Warm.
Having left the Ghost Sword Sect for many years, it seed those youngsters no longer rembered they had an old ancestor.
…
Even though it was late at night.
The North Sea was still bustling with excitent.
Inside the royal court, everybody was heatedly discussing.
“That man, could it actually be Mad Dragon? The Mad Dragon who suppressed the martial world for seven years?”
The Right Minister, upon hearing Solaris Grove’s words, expressed so surprise, “Mad Dragon has actually co to Star City? During the battle at Shadow Gate, Mad Dragon was invincible, and now he’s having a conflict with our North Sea!”
After returning, Solaris Grove recounted every single word of Julius Reed’s to Everton Davenport.
Thus, the North Sea held an overnight eting.
They discussed counterasures.
“One saint lord is already hard enough to deal with, and now Mad Dragon has arrived?”
So people knew that Mad Dragon was the saint lord, but many did not know about their connection.
The one in the know was Devlin.
He had secretly discussed it with Granny Xihua.
Back then, even Leander Sylvan had been unaware.
All she knew was that the saint lord had left Demarco Mount, and that was it.
Everton Davenport, who had spent many years in Star City, had a certain source of intelligence, but he was not clear about such top-secret information.
“The grievance of the Left Minister must be avenged! And the Cook Brothers, who have shed so much blood for our North Sea! They must not die in vain!”
The military officers were furious.
“If soone is willing to help us, that’s a good thing. If he dies, our North Sea suffers no loss, but if he actually kills Mad Dragon, that would indeed solve a big problem for us.”
Everton Davenport, his head adorned with a crown, sat on a throne made of pure gold and spoke indifferently, “We can let him try, if he truly kills Mad Dragon, granting him a noble rank and a ministerial position is not unthinkable.”
“Sire, please reconsider!”
Soone stood up and said in a deep voice, “A re outsider, just because he kills Mad Dragon, can be granted a noble rank and a ministerial position?”
The speaker was a military officer.
Scholars disdain each other, and military n are no better.
“Then you can try,” Everton Davenport pointed to the people below, “Whoever can kill Mad Dragon, all shall be granted a noble rank and a ministerial position!”
“This…”
People looked at each other.
Even Solaris Grove and the Cook Brothers were no match.
Would going there be any different from sending themselves to death?
“Let it be so!”
Everton Davenport pointed at Solaris Grove, “Tell that young man, if he can kill Mad Dragon, I will betroth Baylor Davenport to him!”
Mad Dragon!
A legend of the martial world!
Who once, in a battle at Shadow Gate, annihilated half of the martial world.
He didn’t even spare the face of the gods of the West Sea!
It can be said that the battle at Shadow Gate re-established the dominant position of Seven Clouds Academy.
Ten years ago, Seven Clouds Academy was rely the dominant force in the martial world.
But ten years later, when the Golden Dragon Swallowed the Sun flags resurfaced, they pressed down the heads of the sects just the sa!
“Sire, this…”
Solaris Grove was sowhat surprised.
Baylor Davenport was, after all, the most beloved daughter of Everton Davenport.
“Do it!”
Everton Davenport waved his hand, “This matter, the gods of the West Sea are still unaware. If our North Sea can kill Mad Dragon before he leaves his retreat, not only will our reputation soar, but we can also curry favor with the gods, aiding in an attack on Demarco Mount. If the gods could help, it would be twice as effective!”
“Yes!”
Solaris Grove didn’t say much, and turned to leave the royal court.
His affection for Baylor Davenport was no secret.
After he left, the Left Minister expressed so concerns, “Sire, although my son died at the hands of Mad Dragon, sacrificing the princess, is it really worth it? Solaris Grove is a rare general in our North Sea, and his affection for the princess is known to all…”
“Enough!”
Everton Davenport stood up, looking around at the people below, “My most beloved daughter must marry a suitor who is both talented and handso! If any of you can kill Mad Dragon, my conditions remain the sa, beco my son-in-law, granted a noble rank and a ministerial position!”
Below, silence reigned.
…
Julius Reed was not worried about how the North Sea would react.
He knew the North Sea would definitely agree.
The restoration of the country was imminent, yet his finances were being controlled by Mad Dragon.
Ministers were being killed consecutively.
If he couldn’t handle Mad Dragon, how would the people believe he could defeat the saint lord?
With such a person volunteering, the North Sea could only wish for such an opportunity.
Ding!
Just as Julius Reed stood on the rooftop of Doyle Building, overlooking the entire city.
His phone received a ssage.
“Surprised? Devlin is Aziz Fairbanks, the Sealing Pulse Vein Holder. He just slipped out right under my nose. Since you’ve disgusted , I had to return the favor. Pity, isn’t it? I heard you once let him go. —Elaenor Wood.”
Sss!
When he saw the ssage, Julius Reed felt a sudden surge of intense pain in his head!
