Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Switching the Beams and Pillars
Silently, Winnie Roro looked towards Kingston Stone Martial Emperor and Isaac Campbell, seemingly pondering sothing.
Noticing Winnie’s inscrutable gaze, both Kingston Stone Martial Emperor and Isaac Campbell’s complexions changed—they truly feared that the woman before them was intent on ordering Redfla to kill them.
Given Redfla’s attitude towards the woman, they didn’t think Redfla would refuse her.
"Hand over that stele."
Winnie Roro looked towards Kingston Stone Martial Emperor and said in a deep voice.
The stele!
Hearing Winnie’s words, Kingston Stone Martial Emperor’s face drastically changed.
He naturally knew which ’stele’ the woman was referring to—it was none other than the one left behind by the young man in purple robes when he had departed three days ago.
That stele was mysterious and sinister, granting the young man in purple a power so terrifying that it made even him palpitate.
He had been studying the stele for the past three days yet had gained nothing.
However, he had a strong premonition that if he continued his research, he would definitely yield so results.
Although he had confird that the stele could drive one insane, the terrifying power it had granted the young man in purple still tempted him.
Now, the woman before him was asking him to hand over the stele.
He hesitated.
Not handing it over was essentially out of the question—given that ’Redfla’ was present.
Yet, he was reluctant to hand it over.
Just as Kingston Stone Martial Emperor was conflicted, a familiar voice of Origin Force condensed into sound entered his ears, "Master, I have a way to help you keep the stele."
Hearing this voice, Kingston Stone Martial Emperor’s gaze suddenly brightened.
He could tell that it was definitely Isaac Campbell, who stood beside him, speaking.
"What way?"
Kingston Stone Martial Emperor quickly asked.
Although he had already prepared for the worst,
Now, hearing that there was a way to keep the stele, his mind suddenly beca active.
"Master, like this..."
Isaac Campbell conveyed his thought-up thod to Kingston Stone Martial Emperor using Origin Force condensed into sound.
"Good! Let’s do as you suggest. I forgot that you have an eidetic mory."
Kingston Stone Martial Emperor responded with Origin Force condensed into sound, his eyes betraying a hint of joy.
"Kingston, since that girl is asking you for things, it ans she’s planning to kill you herself later... If it were
acting now, she wouldn’t need to ask you for anything. After your death, everything would belong to her."
Although Redfla didn’t know what the ’stele’ that the woman beside Kingston Stone Martial Emperor was asking for was, when he saw Kingston Stone Martial Emperor hesitate, his expression darkened, and his tone beca more infuriated.
If it weren’t for the fact that Kingston Stone Martial Emperor had past ties with him and it was inconvenient for him to kill Kingston Stone Martial Emperor personally, he wouldn’t have suggested that the woman beside him kill Kingston Stone Martial Emperor and his disciple herself later.
Of course, if Winnie insisted, he would still take action.
Simply because, in his eyes, Winnie’s importance far exceeded that of the current Kingston Stone Martial Emperor.
In front of Winnie, his ’old relationship’ with Kingston Stone Martial Emperor wasn’t worth ntioning.
"Senior Redfla, I placed that stele in the cultivation grounds... In that case, I’ll make a trip there to retrieve it, how about that?"
Hearing the anger in Redfla’s tone, Kingston Stone Martial Emperor couldn’t help but shudder and hurriedly spoke.
"Go."
Redfla said indifferently.
"Yes."
Kingston Stone Martial Emperor quickly responded and imdiately left.
After Kingston Stone Martial Emperor had left, Isaac Campbell glanced at Redfla, his brows betraying a hint of uneasy embarrassnt, "Senior Redfla, I will also go and take a look."
Saying so, without waiting for Redfla’s response, he hurriedly left, following Kingston Stone Martial Emperor.
For a mont, only a group of Martial Emperor disciples, Martial Emperor disciples, and two Martial Emperor direct disciples were left on the scene.
"Who exactly is this red-robed old man? Even our master respects him so deeply, it’s truly incredible."
One of the Martial Emperor direct disciples muttered.
The other Martial Emperor direct disciple didn’t speak, but the look he directed at the old man was also filled with a wary vigilance that stemd from the depths of his heart and soul.
As for the group of Martial Emperor disciples and disciples, they had been stunned stiff.
So much that it took them a long while to snap out of it.
After a while, although many of them regained their senses, they still didn’t dare to speak, as if they were deeply afraid that any wrong word might enrage the red-robed old man in the distance.
What a joke!
This red-robed old man, even their respected Martial Emperor of the Lost Stone Forest, would need to bow humbly in his presence.
Seeing him, their respected Martial Emperor appeared as ek as a mouse before a cat.
"Where do you want to take ?"
Winnie Roro looked at Redfla and asked.
"To a place outside of the Cloud Skies Continent, a vast world with a much better cultivation environnt... There, I will also do my best to provide you with the best cultivation resources."
Redfla said with burning eyes, "Your talent is much stronger than mine."
As a forr owner of the ’Spirit of Fire’ body, it was easy for Redfla to perceive Winnie Roro’s talent, which was even greater than his own.
"Do you want
to take you as my master?"
Winnie Roro asked again.
"Yes."
Redfla nodded with a smile, then added, "In my life, when I was still on the Cloud Skies Continent, I had only taken three personal disciples... and now, only one remains."
By the end, Redfla’s tone carried a touch of lancholy.
"Just because I was once the owner of the Spirit of Fire body?"
Winnie asked.
"Yes."
Redfla nodded and then said seriously, "Now, even though you have shed the ’Spirit of Fire’ body, your physique has been transford to lean towards a ’fire attribute.’ As long as you cultivate fire attribute techniques, your progress will be incredibly rapid!"
Towards the end, Redfla said with frenzy in his eyes, "I have a feeling... your achievents will far surpass mine!"
"I can take you as my master and leave with you... However, before that, I hope you can agree to one thing."
Winnie Roro spoke.
"Speak."
The more Redfla looked at Winnie Roro, the more content he felt, and he was ready to agree to any request she might have.
While Redfla and Winnie Roro were talking, in a larger rock-carved stone house within the training grounds of the Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, Kingston Stone and Isaac Campbell stood facing each other.
"Isaac, quickly copy down the text and patterns on this stone monunt... I’m going to find a stone that looks like this monunt now, and then you’ll forge it into an identical one for
to give to Senior Redfla."
As Redfla raised his hand, he handed a chipped stone monunt to Isaac Campbell.
Imdiately afterward, he vanished into thin air.
His and Isaac’s plan was to forge an identical stone monunt to give to Winnie Roro, who now had Redfla as her backing.
Forging an identical monunt, following the pattern exactly, though easy, would take quite a long ti.
After all, it involved observing and replicating, and many rounds of verification were needed.
However, he didn’t have much ti now.
But, Isaac was naturally gifted with a photographic mory; anything he carefully observed was as if etched in his mind, never to be forgotten.
Thus, as long as he rembered the text and patterns on the monunt, forging an identical one would only take a mont.
And this ’swap the beams with rotten timbers’ trickery was precisely Isaac’s idea.
Of course, Isaac had devised such a plan not for his master, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, but for himself.
"Master, I’m sorry... I also desire this stone monunt."
Isaac looked at the monunt in his hand, his eyes shining brightly like the stars.
Then, as he raised his hand, another monunt appeared in his other hand, at first glance, identical to the one he was holding in shape, size, text, and patterns.
Even the chipped parts were exactly the sa.
"I originally planned to wait for the perfect mont to ’switch the beam with rotten timber,’ but little did I expect, even the heavens are helping ... the stone monunt left by Wyatt Barnes, from now on, is mine," Isaac said.
Isaac shook his hand and stored away the stone monunt Martial Emperor Kingston Stone had given him.
The other monunt he had already forged was held in his hand, perfectly replicated.
Currently, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, who had gone out to find stone, had no idea that his disciple, with his photographic mory, had already morized all the features of the stone monunt three days earlier.
Not just that, he had also spent effort finding a suitable stone and crafted it into an identical monunt.
A fake ’Demon Sealing Monunt.’
Whoosh!
A few breaths later, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone returned, carrying a huge stone in his hands, "Isaac, if this ti we can pass it off as real... the master will make it up to you."
"Thank you, master."
Isaac took the stone, promptly responding, but his heart was filled with disdain.
How would making it up to him change anything?
He was still unwilling to give him that stone monunt.
Luckily, he now had his way of obtaining it.
After taking the stone, Isaac raised his hand, and a dagger appeared in his hand.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
In just a dozen breaths, a stone monunt identical to the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ was in his hands.
"Master, what do you think?"
Isaac handed the two fake Demon Sealing Monunts to Martial Emperor Kingston Stone and asked with a smile.
Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, unaware that the real Demon Sealing Monunt had already been switched, compared the two and his eyes suddenly brightened, "Identical... absolutely identical!"
"Even I, if I didn’t know beforehand that this one is real, would find it hard to tell them apart."
Martial Emperor Kingston Stone looked at the fake Demon Sealing Monunt that Isaac had switched earlier, and then at the other that Isaac had just forged, and exclaid.
"Master, you go ahead and take this fake monunt to that lady... I won’t go with you. I plan to start my seclusion from now on and focus on cultivating to enhance my skills, so I can better relieve you of your worries in the future."
Isaac looked at Martial Emperor Kingston Stone and spoke with the utmost respect.
