Chapter 382: Dispersed, and the Clansmen Were Reunited

“Great, we did it! We did it!”

After the Zerg disappeared, Ebenezer, Avril, and Angelina rushed out of the forest, cheering, and surrounded Vincent with joy.

Vincent smiled as he said to everyone, “It’s all thanks to everyone’s cooperation. Otherwise, we really wouldn’t have been able to do anything about this ancient monster!”

He turned his head to look at Horace, whose face was slightly pale.

In the final chase, not only did Horace almost lose his life at the hands of the Zerg but he was almost sliced into pieces. He, who had just narrowly escaped death, was still unable to recover from it.

Vincent smiled as he said to Horace, “You’ve worked hard!”

Although Horace was in a very sorry state, he still maintained his dignity. He pretended to be calm and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Ebenezer turned to look at the spiderweb that had been cut open on the ground. He could not help but sigh, “The mucus on the spiderweb contains the power of space. It can cancel out almost every attack including the modification authority. How could it be cut open so easily just now?”

Avril and Angelina had also cultivated the ability to modify authority. When they heard Ebenezer’s question, they could not help but turn to look at Vincent.

Although they did not clearly see what had happened earlier, they believed that the person who could cut open the spiderweb was definitely not Horace. That was because Horace did not have any ability that was related to the power of space. However, Vincent, on the other hand, had the exact ability.

Vincent looked at their doubtful faces and smiled as he raised the token in his hand. He said to them, “Previously, I used this token as a key to open the space tunnel, but I did not expect that this token had the power of space within it. I originally wanted to open the space tunnel entrance on the spiderweb to receive Horace, however, when the token came into contact with the spiderweb, the spiderweb instantly split open. It seems that only the purest space power can break open the terrifying spiderweb of the Zerg!”

When everyone heard this, they could not help but look at the token in Vincent’s hand with curiosity and shock.

Ebenezer raised his head to look at Vincent and asked with a worried expression, “But the Zerg can release a spiderweb that can corrode space. Will it escape from the space tunnel?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Based on my memories, the Zerg’s spiderweb has a limited amount of space power. It might be able to corrode ordinary stones or the newly opened space tunnel, but it’s completely impossible to break through the tunnel that the Lingluo Race had created. No matter how long it spends inside, the most it can do is expand the width of the tunnel!”

Ebenezer sighed in relief, “That’s easy then. The so-called Zerg in master’s hands is just a laborer digging a tunnel!”

After thinking for a moment, Vincent said, “This Zerg will be temporarily locked in the space tunnel. However, when the critical moment comes, I will still release it! Now that the Tias Mountain Range is safe, everyone can begin to prepare the next hiding place!”

After hearing what Vincent said, Avril and the others could not help but turn their heads to look at Horace. After all, he was the only one who understood the Tias Mountain Range the most. Moreover, everyone believed that the king of assassins, who had been famous for a long time, would not only have one safe hiding place!

Although his safe house had been destroyed, he should have other safe houses for hiding.

Horace looked at everyone’s gazes, nodded slightly, and said, “I do have other safe houses, but they are all located close to the inner parts of the Tias Mountain Range. I no longer have any safe houses near Devil Flame City!”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “It doesn’t matter if we are far away, as long as it doesn’t affect our communication. At the same time, I hope that after you lead everyone to the safe houses, you can find time to contact the other elves. The cooperation can begin from Devil Flame City in the future!”

Horace nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I have already made an agreement with Dave. Since we have decided to cooperate, I will naturally not delay. After all, the ones who are more anxious should be the elves!”

Vincent then said to Avril, “You must take care of those diaries. I’ll leave it with you for the next few days. Once you find anything, remember to inform me immediately. I’ll take advantage of my status in the city to verify your guesses. As long as you find out exactly what happened 20 years ago, I believe that Gajero will be exposed! The elves will then be able to see his true colors!”

Avril nodded solemnly and said, “Don’t worry!”

Ebenezer also said, “Yes, master, don’t worry! Once there is news, no matter how far away it is, I will use the fastest speed to rush over to the north side of the city to inform you!”

Vincent suddenly smiled and said to Ebenezer, “Wait a moment! There is no hurry. Later, you will come with me!”

Ebenezer asked curiously, “Where are we going?”

Vincent said meaningfully, “Follow me and Dave back to the riverside mansion. There should be a surprise waiting for you there!”

When Ebenezer heard that there was going to be a surprise, he could not help but feel very expectant. He pestered Vincent for a long time but was unable to get Vincent to reveal any information to him. He could only wait impatiently by the side.

Vincent and the others sat on the same spot and began to recuperate.

They had previously made an arrangement with Dave when the Zerg appeared. Dave would rush out of the mountain range with the injured Andy once the sounds of the Zerg disappeared. That way, the group will not have to return to the inner part of the mountain range to look for Dave and Andy.

Another half a day passed before Dave reunited with the group. He returned with Andy on his back. He did not have Vincent’s terrifying speed, so naturally, he was unable to travel efficiently. He could only slowly search for traces of the group.

Fortunately, the Zerg was huge, leaving behind many traces of their fight. When Dave found those traces, he just followed them accordingly. He soon found the huge rock where everyone was.

Dave looked at everyone who was resting and could not help but exclaim in surprise, “You guys settled it so quickly. What about the Zerg?”

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “That ugly monster has already been locked up by me. When I need it again, I will release it. Did you encounter any danger in the mountain range?”

Dave shook his head and said, “No danger! After the Zerg stop roaring, Linus took the initiative to leave. I did not go with him, so I do not know where he went in the end!”

Vincent withdrew his gaze and did not think about Linus anymore. He then asked everyone to head toward their respective places according to the previous arrangement.

After Avril and Angelina said goodbye to Vincent reluctantly, they followed Horace and Andy to the hinterland of the Tias Mountains.

Vincent turned to look at Ebenezer and Dave, his two disciples, and said softly, “Then let’s set off too!”

The master and disciples did not have any differences of opinion. After hearing Vincent’s order, Ebenezer and Dave just turned around obediently and set off on their return journey.

On the way, Ebenezer was pestering Vincent about the surprise, but Vincent’s mouth seemed to have been sewn shut. He did not say a word to Ebenezer.

Perhaps because he was a little annoyed with Ebenezer, Vincent could not help but turn to look at Dave and ask, “What did you and Horace discuss previously? I noticed that he seemed to be very confident in you!”

Dave replied softly, “Similar to what the two of us discussed previously, I promised him that I would treat the elves well. In the future, when I take control of Devil Flame City, I will let all the elves live peacefully and equally in the city. What those elves need to do is to always respect me, be legitimate residents of Devil Flame City, and listen to my orders and dispatch when I tell them to. But in order to make them trust me, I also agreed to an additional condition!”

“What condition?” asked Vincent.

Dave lowered his head slightly and said indifferently, “In order to prove my sincerity, I will find a way to kill father in the shortest period of time, no matter what method and price!”

Vincent could not help but be startled and sighed, “I did not expect Horace to be so stubborn. He would rather add conditions in the negotiations by force than think of a way to get rid of Andre himself!”

Dave nodded and said, “That’s right. Fortunately, he did not give me a deadline or requirement to carry out the condition. As long as I can change the City Lord of Devil Flame City, I will fulfill my previous promise!”

Vincent could not help but shake his head. No matter what Dave said, he could not escape the fate of killing his father.

After thinking about it, Vincent could not help but put the plan to assassinate Andre on the agenda. He had to help Dave solve this problem before Dave made his move. Moreover, Vincent was looking forward to killing Andre and extracting his soul. Only then would he be able to obtain the complete truth from 20 years ago!

As the three of them were talking, the riverside mansion soon appeared in their sight. Vincent quickly reverted to his elf form and pointed at the shadow under his feet. He said to Ebenezer, “Just keep your shadow form and hide beside us. You can follow us into the mansion!”

At this moment, 300 Dark Elves soldiers were still guarding the mansion. It would be very difficult to sneak into the mansion without one or two spies.

Fortunately, the owner of the mansion, Dave, and the general of the soldiers, Vincent, were helpers of Ebenezer, so it was not difficult for him to sneak into the mansion.

When the soldiers saw Vincent and Dave, they immediately surrounded them and asked excitedly, “Sir Vincent, Your Highness Dave, you’re back!”

Vincent and Dave smiled and nodded to the crowd. They quickly passed through the crowd’s encirclement and walked straight into the mansion.

This was because they were worried that if they continued to delay, Ebenezer, who was hiding in the shadows, would be trampled to death by the soldiers outside!

After entering the mansion, Vincent saw Monica standing in the courtyard. She was standing beside two steel cages.

There were two figures shrouded in black gas inside the cages.

Dave was shocked when he saw the scene. However, he also felt that the two black figures in the cage looked somewhat familiar. He could not help but ask, “What’s going on?”

Vincent explained, “Your Highness, I actually came to the riverside mansion for another purpose, which is to rescue these two from Hell’s Rose!”

Dave asked in surprise, “Then who are they?”

Vincent answered without hesitation, “Shadow Demon Race!”

Monica, who was standing in the courtyard, could not help but turn her head to look at Vincent after hearing the conversation between him and Dave.

When Vincent blurted out the name of the Shadow Demon Race, Ebenezer, who was hiding in his shadow, instantly revealed himself. He looked around nervously as if he could not wait to find the whereabouts of the other shadow demons.

“Ah!”

Monica saw a strange alien race that suddenly appeared in front of her. It looked very similar to the two slaves in the cage. She hurriedly hid behind Vincent. She did not dare to look directly at it.

Monica stood behind Vincent and asked nervously, “Why did you not come back alone? And you even brought a foreign race with you. Aren’t you afraid that His Highness Dave will blame you?”

At this time, she had completely forgotten that Dave was beside her. If Dave did not agree, how could Vincent bring back a foreign race to the riverside mansion?

Vincent smiled and ignored Monica behind him. He said to Ebenezer, “These two are shadow demons who have fallen into the hands of the Dark Elves. I accidentally discovered their existence, so I spent a lot of money to buy them back from the slave market!”

Ebenezer finally saw the two figures in the cage and said to Vincent gratefully, “Thank you, master. Then can I go and see them and let them out?”

Vincent nodded and said, “It’s okay to let them out, but you have to keep an eye on them. You can’t assassinate anyone inside or outside the riverside mansion. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving face to the Shadow Demon Race!”

Ebenezer nodded repeatedly and said, “Please rest assured, master. I will definitely make them comply with your rules!”

Vincent waved his hand and gestured for Ebenezer to go and meet his two kinsmen.

Ebenezer ran to the front of the cage, carefully sizing up the two who had their heads lowered.

As Harson and Daniel knew that they were being sold as slaves, from the moment they were loaded into the cage, they lowered their heads and fell into silence. They swore that they would never cooperate with Vincent, who had bought them. They would rather die than be slaves!

Therefore, they did not raise their heads to look at Vincent and the others. They also did not notice that outside the cage stood a shadow demon. He was from the same race as them!

After Ebenezer carefully examined the two members of his race, he first confirmed in his heart that they were definitely not the shadow demons that he knew. He also discovered that they had some injuries on their bodies. The younger shadow demon only had one arm left. It could be observed that their encounters were extremely tragic!

Ebenezer stood outside the cage and asked with an excited expression, “May I ask which tribe you two are from? Who are the elders in your tribe? Do you know or have you heard of Guru Gordon?”

Harson, who was sitting in the cage with his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and exclaimed in shock, “Gordon? Guru Gordon from the Cloud Highlands?”

At first, Harson only raised his head in surprise because he heard a familiar name. However, he did not expect to see a shadow demon in front of him. He became even more shocked!

Ebenezer, who was begging outside the cage, was also shocked. When he heard Harson’s reply, he became even more excited and said, “That’s right. I’m from the tribe of the Cloud Highlands. Unfortunately, after the Shadow Demon World was destroyed, our tribe scattered because of the scavengers that were chasing after us in the Black Hole World. Later, I lost contact with the members of my tribe. May I ask what your relationship with Guru Gordon is?”

When Harson saw him, it was as if he had seen his own blood relatives. With tears in his eyes, he said, “Gordon and I have been good friends for many years. When we were young, we went to various tribes to study together. Later, we returned to our own tribes. I just didn’t expect that with Gordon’s impulsive and irritable temper, he could actually become a Guru!”

Ebenezer looked at Harson in surprise. He frowned and said, “Guru Gordon is recognized as the most humorous, tolerant, and gentle guru in the Cloud Highlands. He may not be the same person as the one you know!”

Harson shook his head and said, “Impossible! “The Gordon I know comes from the Cloud Highlands. As long as your guru’s name is Gordon, he must be the one I know. Moreover, I think he must be quite old. In front of you kids, he naturally has to pretend to be gentle!”

When Ebenezer heard the other party’s evaluation of his guru, he could not help but feel angry. He wanted to continue arguing with the other party.

When Vincent saw this, he could not help but raise his voice, “Can you stop arguing for a moment? Do you feel good sitting in the prisoner’s cage?”

Ebenezer and Harson turned to look at Vincent at the same time.

Harson was even more surprised at that moment because he did not expect Ebenezer to walk to the front of the prisoner’s cage under the watchful eyes of the two Dark Elves. This was the same as walking into a trap!

Would Ebenezer act alone under the watchful eyes of those hot-tempered Dark Elves?

Ebenezer put away his displeasure and turned to Harson. He said, “I’ll explain to you later about Guru Gordon! I’ll let you out now!”

As soon as he said that, Ebenezer’s hands immediately turned into blades. He split the cage in half.

Daniel, who had lowered his head like an ostrich, only dared to look around when he realized that he had regained his freedom. He then displayed the same shock and confusion as Harson.

They were both shadow demons. Daniel could not understand why he and Guru Harson were treated so inhumanely here. However, this shadow demon in front of him seemed to be friends with the Dark Elves.

Daniel subconsciously turned to ask Harson, “Guru Harson, who are they?”

The guru, who could be said to be omniscient in the world of the shadow demons, was completely lost at that moment. He shook his head with a shocked face and sighed silently, “This world is not as simple as I know it to be!”

Ebenezer did not care about Harson’s sigh at that time. He walked forward and checked the meteorite gold chains that locked the two of them. He could not help but sigh, “What a hard material. I can’t break it at all!”

After seeing this, Vincent hurriedly reached out and patted Monica who was behind him.

“Oh, right! The key is with me!”

Monica hurriedly ran out from behind Vincent and threw the two special keys to Ebenezer. Then, she quickly ran back behind Vincent.
