“Let’s… Just give Gerald those holy stones for now! We need to prioritize our lives!” muttered Grand Elder as he
shook his head.
“Unfortunately, that’s all we can do!” said the others in helpless tones…
After handing exactly one hundred holy stones to Gerald’s men, they made it a point to refuse any further guests
for the time being.
It was two days later when a huge ship docked at Mayberry City’s port. Three old men who had plain clothes on
could be seen standing at the bow of the ship, their hands behind their backs.
“So this is Mayberry City! What a fine looking place!” said one of the elders cheerily.

“Indeed. You know, I remember Great grandfather saying that before one was able to enter the cultivation realm,
the best place to start cultivating was in certain locations within the secular world! Two such locations are Zephyr
Island which is up north in Jay City and Mayberry City!” replied another old man.
It was evident by this point that the three were none other than the heads of the new Thunder Sword Sect!
After laughing among themselves, the third elder was prompted to say, “Whatever the case is, now that we’ve
mastered the divine technique, acquired holy bodies, and entered the cultivation realm, we won’t have to rely on
the geographical advantages in the secular world to cultivate anymore!”
“Speaking of which, where are the Morningstars? They know for a fact that we’d arrive today. Why aren’t any of
them here to greet us? How rude!” scoffed one of the elders, prompting all three of them to suddenly feel pissed.
“Do you think it’s because they’re that scared of that ‘strong enemy’..?”
“If that’s truly the case, I guess all we can do is head to their manor to witness that ‘strong enemy’ for ourselves!”
Following that, the trio headed to the Morningstar manor and upon arriving, they found the main gates tightly
locked. There wasn’t even a doorkeeper on duty! Once they notified the Morningstars of their arrival, the three
were surprised to see all of them kneeling the second the door was unlocked.
“What is the meaning of this?” asked one of the startled elders.
“Before anything else, allow us to beg for forgiveness, elders… Firstly, because we didn’t dare leave the manor for
fear that Gerald would come after us… Secondly, because the boy has snatched most of the holy stones we’ve
been collecting… We know this is a great offense, so all we can do is apologize!” exclaimed Jaxen who was
kowtowing before them.
“What?! That Gerald is really asking for it! Wait till we tear him to shreds!” roared the elders.
“Oh please, even if all three of you work together, you’ll still be no match against him. With that said, I advise you to
just surrender and accept your death!” retorted a loud, croaky voice out of the blue that then began laughing.

As the laughter went on, all seven of the Morningstars quickly covered their ears and they eventually began
vomiting blood!
Before the three elders could even make sense of what was happening, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the
yard and once the light was gone, a black haired old man who had a black robe on could be seen standing there!
It was clear that this person was no average Joe, so one of the elders eventually asked, “Who exactly are you,
senior…?”
In response, the old man simply glared at them ferociously as he waved his hand prompting a surge of essential qi
to fly out! The essential qi rapidly turned into a black hurricane that swept all three of the elders off their feet!
Now on the ground, all three of them had their eyes widened in horror as they asked, “You… C-could you be the
legendary Saint Darkwind…?!”
