Chapter 1270: Chapter 699: The Old Spirit Chapter 1270: Chapter 699: The Old Spirit In the depths of a tranquil bamboo grove, moonlight filtered through the sparse bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground and adding a touch of mystery to the serene night. Elder Talon Skyler sat with his eyes closed in ditation, surrounded by a faint aura of Spiritual Energy as if he were conducting a secretive ritual. Suddenly, the calm was shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps. Sheron Perri’s figure erged at the edge of the bamboo grove, his expression somber, eyes flickering with dissatisfaction and doubt.
“Elder Talon Skyler, what exactly are you doing?” The voice of Sheron Perri echoed through the bamboo grove, carrying with it hints of accusation and discontent, “Why are you releasing Spiritual Energy near ? Are you trying to investigate sothing? As Sheron Perri, I act honorably and openly, so why do you proceed in such a secretive manner?”
Elder Talon Skyler slowly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing an air of indifference and composure. He was not intimidated by Sheron Perri’s questioning; instead, he replied almost mockingly, “Oh, Sheron Perri, why so tense? I simply sensed an unusual Aura and thus released Spiritual Energy to explore it. Logan isn’t here, is he? Where did he go? Slipping away behind everyone’s back, surely he isn’t planning to take the opportunity to desert us on the eve of battle?”
At these words, Sheron Perri’s face darkened further. He felt aggrieved inside but had to suppress his anger as he explained, “That young man Logan is indeed not here. But he is by no ans the type to desert in the face of battle; there must be so hidden reason. As for you, Elder Talon Skyler, is your ability not so accurate anymore? Could it be that with age your senses have deteriorated? Speak such words when your judgent is accurate!”
Elder Talon Skyler smiled faintly, appearing unconcerned by Sheron Perri’s sarcasm. He waved his hand lightly and said, “Sheron Perri, don’t underestimate my Heavenly chanism Technique. While I dare not claim it is one hundred percent accurate, it is right more often than not. However, since you are so convinced, then I must see whether my judgent is wrong or if you’ve truly been played by that young man Logan.”
Just as Sheron Perri was about to retort, a familiar yet strange Aura quietly approached. Both n beca alert, their gazes locking tightly on the deeper part of the bamboo grove. A figure erged slowly in the moonlight; it was Logan!
Logan’s appearance took Sheron Perri by surprise, and he instinctively looked towards Elder Talon Skyler, who also wore a look of astonishnt. The two auras unintentionally collided, causing ripples of subtle air currents that made the bamboo leaves sway gently.
“Logan? Why have you returned?” Sheron Perri couldn’t help but ask, his tone laced with disbelief.
Logan did not reply imdiately; instead, he glanced at both n before he finally spoke, “I… I just went out to take care of so business; I didn’t expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding. Elder Talon Skyler, Sheron Perri, please don’t misunderstand; I had no intention of fleeing from battle.”
Elder Talon Skyler frowned and sized up Logan before speaking in a deep voice, “Logan, you’d better clarify the situation. What was the reason for your departure and return? Could it be that you indeed have so secretive business?”
Logan chuckled bitterly and helplessly shook his head: “Elder Talon Skyler, Sheron Perri, you’ve really misunderstood. I just received an urgent piece of news that needed addressing. Now that it’s been dealt with, I hurried back.”
Upon hearing this, the doubts in Sheron Perri’s heart eased slightly, but he still couldn’t help but probe, “What urgent news? Why did it require your attention at this ti?”
Logan hesitated, then decided to co clean, “It’s about intelligence regarding the enemy forces we are about to face. I received information that they are secretly amassing their strength, preparing to launch a surprise attack on us. I felt the matter was too important, so I had to personally verify it.”
After hearing this, both Elder Talon Skyler and Sheron Perri sank into thought. A mont later, Elder Talon Skyler slowly said, “Logan, you did the right thing. In facing our enemies, we cannot afford any oversight. Now that you’ve verified the intelligence, we must quickly prepare to et the upcoming battle.”
Sheron Perri nodded in agreent, “That’s right, Logan. Although your actions caused us so miscommunication, your intentions were good. Now, we must unite and confront the enemy together.”
Thus, a dispute born from misunderstandings was resolved with Logan’s explanation. The three of them reunited to discuss the strategies for the imminent challenge. And the quiet bamboo grove once again regained its usual tranquility as if nothing had ever happened.
In a peaceful courtyard under the shroud of night, moonlight like water gently fell upon the stone pathway, draping the ancient courtyard in a silvery veil. Elder Talon Skyler stood in a corner of the courtyard, his brow slightly furrowed, his eyes shimring with contemplative light. Just then, a breeze brought the hurried and slightly tense voice of Sheron Perri.
“Elder Talon Skyler, I’ve been guarding this place the whole ti. Your Spiritual Energy probing just now must have been so mistake, right?” There was a hint of uncertainty in Sheron Perri’s voice, yet he attempted to remain composed. He watched Elder Talon Skyler intently, trying to detect any sign of discrepancy on his face.
Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler turned slowly, his pale face illuminated by the moonlight. A fleeting sign of weariness flashed in his eyes, “Of course there was no mistake, I was just… a bit curious.” He coughed lightly, seemingly trying to cover sothing up, “You seem different than usual, Sheron Perri, are you hiding sothing from ?”
