Capítulo 914: Chapter 914: He Can Only Help This Much
The onmyoji from Cathay couldn’t find any advantages, and the group had to leave in embarrassnt to figure things out on their own.
However, sohow the content of this conversation ended up on the Spiritual Affairs forum.
The content was detailed, even reciting several people’s original words.
On the Spiritual Affairs forum, whether people from the Mystical Sect or the Demon Clan, including Ghost Cultivators, finally felt a sense of relief.
Simon, after seeing it, only said,
“If it weren’t for these old guys being clear-headed when dealing with outsiders, I would have dissolved this Mystical Council long ago.”
When Simon said this, he glanced again at Samuel Chalrs across from him. Seeing that he did not speak, he continued,
“But since Cathay couldn’t gain an advantage this ti and can’t resolve the filth on their own, they might spread news about your matters.”
By then, those abroad who covet the National Protection Dragon Vein of Cathay will probably start to stir again.
One must know that due to the existence of the National Protection Dragon Vein in Cathay, the Spiritual Energy there is more abundant compared to other countries.
This is also why the number of masters in Cathay is significantly higher than anywhere else.
“It seems we need to warn the border security to be vigilant. We shouldn’t let any ‘rats’ slip in…”
Simon muttered and took another look at Samuel Chalrs. Changing the topic, he said,
“And about your place, you initially moved in to let Scarlett Jennings assist in investigating the filth. Now that it’s resolved, can you consider moving out…”
Only to see Samuel Chalrs, who had shown little reaction to his previous remarks, finally lift his gaze and interrupt,
“No need to move for now.”
He didn’t explain why there was no need.
Simon didn’t ask either but smiled and said, “As long as you’re happy.”
Saying this, he seed to subtly remind him,
“Staying there is pretty good too. If any more foreign threats co your way, having soone next door ans I won’t have to worry about it.”
Hearing this, Samuel’s eyes shifted slightly, seemingly pondering.
When he looked at Simon again, his gaze was deep, and he left without saying another word.
Watching his back, Simon clicked his tongue softly.
He could only help this much.
…
When Samuel Chalrs returned to the small courtyard in Demon Street, he noted so commotion coming from Scarlett Jennings’s yard.
In the yard were Ashton Todd, Gregory Xander, and their entourage.
Although the Sea Barrier was established, they had not left imdiately.
After slightly recovering so Spiritual Power, Ashton Todd started teasing Stella Gibson, whom he hadn’t seen in a long ti.
During the days Scarlett studied sorcery at the Academy of Mystique, Ashton focused on researching arrays while Stella and Greta went back to their tribe to cultivate, so they had not seen each other for quite so ti.
At this mont, Greta stood in the middle of the yard with nothing under her feet, while Ashton played a tune on his suona, which was refined using a Ghost Gate Fragnt.
The high-pitched sound of the suona rose, and with a change in tone, everyone felt a wave of Spiritual Power emanate from it straight toward Greta.
The next second, a Barrier ford around Greta, enclosing her directly.
Greta reached out to poke the invisible Barrier but couldn’t break it.
She tried slapping it, but it didn’t budge either.
“Try instantaneous teleportation,”
Scarlett Jennings advised.
They watched as Greta attempted to teleport, only to find herself still within the Barrier.
Others may not have realized, but Stella was already dumbfounded.
“Ashton Todd! How did you get so powerful, creating such a formidable Barrier without setting up an array!”
While exclaiming, Stella couldn’t help but pat him on the arm out of amazent.
Despite getting slapped, Ashton grinned gleefully without retracting his hand.
“Amazing isn’t it? I discovered this after so serious research. It also cost a fortune to have Ivan help refine that Ghost Gate Fragnt!”
Yet, it was worth it.
After obtaining the properly refined suona, Ashton pondered that since the Mystical Sect used talismans requiring spell chanting, perhaps he could achieve the sa effect by playing spells through the suona?
So, he explored this direction, and now he has achieved so progress.
So straightforward arrays that don’t require special sacrificial items could be directly ford with lodies played using Spiritual Power.
“There’s sothing even more impressive; let show you,”
he said and began playing the suona again, this ti with a different tune.
Scarlett Jennings then sensed a wave of Shadow Energy rise within the courtyard.
The next second, several child ghosts appeared out of nowhere, drawn by the suona’s sound, and began to “attack” Greta.
They clung to her legs, arms, and neck.
Greta, who had been standing still, visibly panicked, afraid to move for fear of shattering these child ghosts with any force.
The scene was reminiscent of when Scarlett used child ghosts to prevent Greta from escaping.
Scarlett glanced at Ashton, suspecting him of copying her.
But then she saw Ashton change the tune to recall the child ghosts, proceeding to dole out “paynt” to them painfully, and she reconsidered her initial thoughts.
Ashton’s choice to employ child ghosts wasn’t solely because she used them against Greta before.
Another reason was that child ghosts were cheaper than Big Ghosts.
Getting ghosts to appear indeed requires “paynt.”
Scarlett couldn’t help but smirk as her gaze shifted, spotting familiar Golden Light filtering through a gap in the courtyard gate.
She paused slightly in her stare, intending to ignore it, but the Liora Gold in her pocket seed to sense it, zooming forward and pressing the gate lock switch with a snap.
The gate swung open unexpectedly, revealing Samuel Chalrs standing outside.
As one of Scarlett’s partners, they naturally recognized Samuel Chalrs.
Even those who didn’t would have known his true identity after this mission, along with Dashiell’s intentional or unintentional mutterings and “denouncents.”
Everyone was aware that Scarlett and he were currently in an awkward phase of interaction.
Stella rolled her eyes and promptly said,
“Greta, after being worn out by you, could use so rest. I heard there’s a spot on Demon Street selling Demon Clan specialty drinks. Ashton, co with to try them!”
Ashton replied without hesitation,
“Sure!”
Stella then turned to Nathan White and Gregory Xander, “Will you two join us?”
Nathan shook his head, quietly saying, “I need to return to the clinic.”
Gregory also declined, “I have an appointnt this afternoon, not drinking.”
Within a few sentences, the group quickly dispersed, leaving Scarlett Jennings alone in the small courtyard with Samuel Chalrs at the gate.
“Am I interrupting?”
Samuel Chalrs asked.
Scarlett Jennings looked at him and replied bluntly, “A little.”
“I’m sorry.”
He said, “I ca over primarily to inform you that I will continue to reside in the adjacent courtyard.”
Scarlett Jennings responded,
“That property was purchased with your money, it’s naturally yours, you don’t need to specifically tell .”
Samuel pressed his lips, hesitating for a mont, intending to ntion the potential arrival of foreign masters; yet, just as he began, soone bustled in energetically.
It was Noah Zimrman, just back from vacation at Azure Sea,
“Master Jennings, Director Gao just called again, asking you about…”
Mid-sentence, he noticed the tall figure at the door.
Noah halted in his steps, standing upright,
“Am I…interrupting you?”
Scarlett Jennings was about to say no, but Samuel Chalrs replied,
“A little.”
