Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019: Battle Scene

"I really didn’t expect Delilah Ferguson to be the daughter of the Great Emperor. It’s a good thing I didn’t rush to act against her!" After leaving the cave, Dillon Meskill was scared out of his wits. Delilah Ferguson was an inner-sect genius and the pride of the heavens, unparalleled in looks and talent, which was why he had long set his sights on her, waiting for her to become a seed disciple before including her in his Harem Group.

However, he hadn’t expected Delilah Ferguson to have such an esteemed identity.

So it was fortunate that he hadn’t acted hastily, for if he had attacked Delilah Ferguson and the Great Emperor had found out, wouldn’t he have been flayed alive? Not even the ancestors of the Meskill Family could protect him.

The Meskill Family was a supreme clan with a long lineage, spreading its branches in the Lower Element World, Middle Element World, Upper Element World, and Immortal Realm, boasting countless descendants. Among these descendants in the Immortal Realm, geniuses were as numerous as the salmon crossing the river, impossible to count, making it impractical for him to compare himself with the descendants of the Meskill Clan in the Immortal Realm.

"But how did Delilah Ferguson just die?" At that moment, Dillon Meskill turned his gaze to the senior members of the four major sects.

Right then, everyone wore a solemn expression, because inexplicably, they had offended an Immortal Emperor, meaning if they couldn’t figure out how Delilah Ferguson had died, they were sure to perish, with no one to save them!

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate, esteemed members of the Campbell Sect, we truly have no idea what Delilah Ferguson was doing here, so we hope you can provide us with guidance!" a Taoist from a certain Baiyun Guan suddenly chanted his title before taking the initiative to speak, looking towards the high-level members of the Campbell Sect.

Baiyun Guan was a very special sect in the Middle Element World because all male and female cultivators in Baiyun Guan were Taoists, wearing Taoist robes, tying their trouser legs, keeping their hair in buns, with men not marrying and women not wedding.

In Baiyun Guan, they were strict about the practice of not marrying; their cultivation methods were similar to Buddhism, yet Baiyun Guan was also incredibly powerful.

"My friends, this affair has indeed put you all in an unfortunate position!" A person in charge from the Campbell Sect stepped forward, not Dillon Meskill nor any head of the sect, but the fourth-ranked seed disciple of the Campbell Sect’s Seed Hall, by the name of ’Wells Mayo’, a name quite a mouthful.

With Ledger Vaughn, the chief manager, absent, he was naturally in charge.

"Brother Mayo, what do you think we should do?" everyone asked, turning their gaze to him.

"There’s no choice but to search separately. The Great Emperor said Delilah Ferguson is dead, but where did she die? Who killed her, or did she die in some desolate land? We must clarify this!"

"As for what Delilah Ferguson looked like, she was wearing a tight-fitting red leather skirt, sixteen years of age, Ninth Grade Daluo."

"The person’s dead, how can we find and recognize her? Isn’t this asking the impossible?" a member of the Green Spirit Sect suddenly complained.

"The Great Emperor has clearly made this difficult for us, but there is no other way. Gentlemen, we must also contact our disciples who are scattered to inquire about Delilah Ferguson’s whereabouts, to see if anyone has seen her."

"What if we can’t find her in the end?" someone suddenly asked.

"If we can’t find her, we can only reply honestly, without deception, because once we lie, our fate will be even more wretched!" Wells Mayo said gravely.

"Damn, what bad luck..."

"Inside the cave, that relic of ancient times must contain endless treasures!"

"There must also be fortunes to be made there!"

"What a pity, what a pity..."

"Let’s go, let’s go, everyone quickly search, time is limited, let’s first return to the entrance and then disperse to search outward!"

Without any concrete resolution from their discussions, with the Great Emperor’s command, they could only search.

...

As quick as a lightning flash, three months passed, and after three months, everyone came up empty-handed. Even the Campbell Sect found that surname Gou individual to inquire if he knew anything, but he was clueless as well.

At the same time, within these three months, no one had seen the Great Emperor of the Roaring Wind make an appearance.

Furthermore, the four major sects had gathered all their disciples together, making roll calls and questioning whether anyone had a conflict with Delilah Ferguson, but the reply was that no one had seen the woman.

It was during the Campbell Sect’s roll call, however, that they discovered two people were missing.

"Within a million miles, there is no sign of Rafael Case and Zayden Newton, and even when we searched further afield, we still couldn’t find the two of them!"

"Could they have disappeared together with Delilah Ferguson?" the higher-ups of the Campbell Sect wondered in surprise.

"Sect master, respected elders, just a few days ago I still saw junior uncle and senior brother Rafael, they just went a bit far and were not with Delilah Ferguson!" Maria Haney saw everyone’s focus shift to Zayden Newton and Rafael Case and immediately knew this was not good, so she quickly fabricated a lie!

"Oh? You saw them? In which direction, and how far from here?" Wells Mayo asked Maria Haney.

"They went quite a distance, they were in the southwest, a million miles from the northwest, a million miles from here!" She deliberately gave the wrong direction, which incidentally was the direction Yusuf Zuck and Rafael Case had left after killing Delilah Ferguson.

"They’ve gone a million miles away? How do they have such nerve?" said Wells Mayo, his expression growing dark.

"It was I who ordered them to go farther out!" Aiden Wilkinson spoke coldly, "When I train disciples, naturally I aim to push their limits and not coddle them!"

"Uh..." Hearing Aiden Wilkinson’s words, everyone was momentarily speechless, for Aiden Wilkinson was notorious for his grueling training methods, so it seemed all too normal for him to send Zayden Newton and Rafael Case to a more challenging area.

"Fellow Daoists of the Campbell Sect, we have news, we have news!" Just as the Campbell Sect members were gathering at the entrance, the higher-ups of the Green Spirit Sect suddenly arrived in flight, looking elated!

"What news? Have you found Delilah Ferguson’s body?" members of the Campbell Sect asked excitedly.

"We haven’t found the body, but disciples from our Green Spirit Sect have discovered signs of a battle in a canyon about a million miles to the southwest, along with some pieces of torn clothing. We’ve confirmed they should belong to Delilah Ferguson’s red leather skirt."

"What? Let’s hurry!"

"Let’s go, let’s go—"

"Go!"

All the experts from the four major sects, along with all the disciples, immediately soared into the sky and rushed toward the southwest.

It took a full three to four days for the group to finally arrive at the large canyon, where indeed several disciples of the Green Spirit Sect were standing on the mountain top!

"Please look here, these are the torn pieces we found, and here are some broken bones, as well as various signs of battle at the bottom of the canyon and at the mountain top," said a few disciples from the Green Spirit Sect as they handed over several fragments, including clothing and pieces resembling half a finger, all shattered beyond recognition!

"These are Delilah Ferguson’s clothes..." The faces of the Campbell Sect members turned grim, for it was quite clear that Delilah Ferguson had been murdered, not perished while exploring some dangerous terrain!

But who could the murderer be?

"Since it was a deliberate murder, we can only wait for the senior Great Emperor of the Wind to find clues on his own." Ledger Vaughn, the steward, had a gleam in his eye. With only traces of the battle and no further clues to the enemy, they were unable to determine who was responsible!

Perhaps the Great Emperor of the Wind could trace the murderer from the vestiges at the scene of the battle!

Thus, all they could do now was wait.

"Let’s wait right here!" No one dared to leave and could only wait on the mountain top of the canyon.
