"You're not familiar with the King of Shadows. In fact, he is a genuine Celestial-ranked ancient martial master, and he could break through to the pinnacle of ancient martial arts at any ti. So, going there now might be dangerous. Take my sword with you; it might save your life when the ti is critical."
While speaking, Zidane handed a jade pendant to Connor.
Without hesitation, Connor accepted the jade pendant. He knew that immortal weapons could transform into various shapes, and in today's society, carrying a sword openly would draw attention. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zidane had transford his sword into a jade pendant and wore it.
Connor had no ti to exchange further words with Zidane. After taking the jade pendant, he walked directly towards the exit of the treasure trove.
Once outside the treasure trove, he leaped into the sky.
Originally, he had planned to fly to the airport and take a flight to Risu. Despite his ability to fly, the Eight Trigrams Valley was still hundreds of thousands of kiloters away from the Risu, making it impossible for him to fly there directly. Taking a plane was the most practical option.
However, as he flew to the entrance of the Eight Trigrams Valley, he noticed that Wilda, Stanley, and the others had already left, leaving only Yolanda waiting quietly at the entrance.
Connor went directly to Yolanda.
Upon seeing him, her expression appeared sowhat excited, and she hurriedly asked, "Connor, you're out? Did you find Master Jorge?"
"I found him." Connor replied with a nod.
"Why didn't you co out with Master Jorge?" Yolanda asked, looking behind Connor but not finding Jorge.
"I don't have ti to explain everything right now. I'm heading to the Risu for sothing urgent. It's not safe for you to accompany . I'll take you to the airport, and you can take a flight back to Somrvile on your own. Do you understand what I an?" Connor said seriously to Yolanda.
She hesitated for a mont and then nodded in agreent. She could sense that sothing was amiss with his emotions at the mont. His tone was very serious. She desperately wanted to know what had happened, but she also realized that he might not have the ti or mood to explain it to her.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and embraced her slender waist, then took off into the sky.
Yolanda was held in Connor's arms, feeling sowhat embarrassed. However, when she saw the serious expression on his face, she cald down. She really wanted to know what had happened, but she also understood that now might not be the ti for him to share it with her. So, she quietly leaned against his chest.
After about ten minutes, Connor arrived at the airport in France. However, he soon realized that there were very few flights from France to the Risu, and the earliest flight to the Risu wouldn't be until the following afternoon. The flight to Somrvile was scheduled for the next morning.
Given the current situation, he couldn't afford to waste any ti waiting until the next afternoon. He had no intention of waiting here.
Originally, he had considered flying to a neighboring country of France to check for flights. But after inquiring, he realized that even if he flew to the neighboring country, it would be nightti, and there would be no flights to the Risu.
He stood in the airport, feeling increasingly anxious about what to do.
"Connor, why are you in such a hurry to go to the Risu? What's going on?" Yolanda asked in a hesitant tone after a mont of contemplation.
He turned to look at her, and after giving it so thought, he briefly explained the situation to her.
"A curse like this exists? It's truly unbelievable," she said, her expression filled with anger upon hearing what had happened.
"My master has at most one month left, so I need to find a way to break the Ghostly Spirit Curse as soon as possible," he said in a low voice.
Yolanda hesitated for a mont and then whispered, "Connor, I have a way to help you get to the Risu faster."
"What way?" Connor asked eagerly.
"Well, do you rember Wilda, who accompanied us to the Eight Trigrams Valley before? Her family has a plane. You could use their plane to get to the Risu, which might be faster than taking a comrcial flight," she suggested.
"That's indeed a good idea!" Connor nodded. Comrcial flights had fixed schedules, required waiting for all passengers, and often made stopovers in other cities, which could waste a lot of ti.
"But with a country as large as Koswa, won't it be difficult to find Wilda?" Connor wasn't worried that Wilda wouldn't help. After all, Wilda was now well aware of his capabilities. If necessary, he could simply threaten her.
"I have her business card." Yolanda took out a business card and handed it to him, explaining, "When we left the valley, Wilda gave her business card and told that if I needed anything in France, I could call her. At the ti, I didn't pay much attention, but I didn't expect the business card to co in handy."
"That's great," he said, excited by the idea. He dialed Wilda's number.
"Ring... ring..." After a few rings, Wilda answered the call.
"Who is this?" Her voice ca through the phone.
"I'm Connor, and I need your help with sothing urgent," he said directly.
"Connor?" She was montarily stunned upon hearing the na.
"Where are you right now? I'll co find you!" Connor continued.
"I'm at the Gral Manor. Why are you looking for ? What's going on?" she stuttered as she ntioned her current location.
He didn't bother answering her question. He simply hung up the phone and flew toward the Gral Manor's location with Yolanda.
A few minutes later, Connor and Yolanda arrived at the Gral Manor.
Wilda had been waiting at the manor's entrance for so ti.
Upon seeing him, Wilda couldn't help but recall the events that had taken place in the Eight Trigrams Valley. Uncle Cardenas, in the presence of Connor, beca even more respectful, and he respectfully greeted Connor, "Junior pays respects to Lord Soul Devourer!"
Connor paid no attention to Uncle Cardenas's greetings. He walked toward Wilda.
