Chapter 133: Just One
Theron’s mind took in several thoughts at once.
It was impossible for him to miss the mention of an adopted son. Was he speaking about Beifong? Theron was under the impression that Beifong was just the adopted son of a random elder, likely quite high up in the chain of command, but not this high up.
Had a father set a kill notice on his own son?
Theron had known from the beginning that the Patriarch couldn’t be trusted, but even he didn’t expect that it would be to this extent.
However, the rest was arguably just as intriguing. What could bind someone of the Patriarch’s caliber so greatly?
Honestly speaking, Theron had never heard of a cultivation level above Gold. None of the books or anything of the sort that he had come across ever mentioned it.
But what he did know was that there likely was one. After the Imbued Resonance debacle, he knew that there were certainly things about this world that he wasn’t privy to information about. If not for this, it wouldn’t have taken him so much effort to find the information about the Verdant Bloomstone he needed.
This secret, though… seemed to be on an entirely different level. What was going on, exactly, that someone so powerful could only sit on their hands?
And what did this have to do with Beifong? Why was he talking like his son had died tragically when he had ordered for the death in the first place?
