Chapter 120: Mountain Inspection
When Adrian heard that the one responsible for identifying the mysterious cultivator was a disciple from the War Machine sect. His mind immediately went towards the man he met in the inner regions.
The man that he had been tailing ever since he entered the Misty Mountains, the man he followed inside the mystic realm. Now it seemed that very same man was the one trying to capture him. It seemed that the same man was trying to capture him.
’So he survived, huh?’ Adrian thought to himself. He was actually surprised that Julian was still alive. And with good reason. The aura of that beast was something that Adrian could still remember till now.
He hadn’t been close enough to tell its rank, but he knew that both of them stood absolutely no chance against it. That was why he decisively escaped into the Blood Star. The fact that the man was able to survive showed that he wasn’t as simple as well.
Perhaps, he had used an artifact he had gotten from the mystic realm? This thought wasn’t so far-fetched. Adrian had gotten the true legacy of the Hundred-Faced Thief, but that didn’t mean Julian didn’t receive anything at all.
He might have gotten something that could help him escape from the beast. Perhaps, a pill that could hide his presence, or a talisman that could increase his speed so he could run away at a very fast speed.
As Adrian thought about all the possible scenarios that Julian could have used to avoid losing his life, he also began to wonder how he was able to convince the City Lord of Stonehold City to take action.
To be able to make the City Lord listen to his words, he was definitely not just a normal disciple. Perhaps he had some sort of connection to the City Lord, something that Adrian did not currently know.
What Adrian didn’t know was that it wasn’t Julian making the City Lord move. It was Bella. With a single statement from the Young Mistress of the Vyre family, the City Lord assembled a squad of warriors who were in charge of assessing everyone who left the mystic realm, along with Julian.
