Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Shut up! What are you talking about?

"What should we do now, should we return to Tianyuan City?"

Kellan Gentry exclaimed, "Of course, we should return. Otherwise, people might think we’re up to no good again, plotting against the City Lord and framing us."

Jorge Gross agreed, "Indeed, no matter where we’re heading next, we need to clear this matter up."

As the leaders of the Vajra Gang, Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross actually didn’t mind being misunderstood—in fact, these misunderstandings could enhance their reputation. However, now that they were with Carson Flores, they subconsciously started caring about reputation.

It wasn’t their own reputation they cared about, but Carson Flores’s.

After all, Carson Flores was the Human Emperor!

Even though Kellan Gentry was the Bandit King, he knew the significance of the Human Emperor to the entire Human Race.

Every time the Human Emperor appeared, the Human Race often faced life-and-death crises, and the Human Emperor was usually the one who resolved these crises.

Carson Flores expressed his concerns, "Considering Kent Rollins was the City Lord and from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, could the other Deputy City Lords be the same?"

Jorge Gross thought for a moment, "For safety’s sake, we don’t need to enter the city, just notify everyone about this matter."

"Alright!"

Jorge Gross took out a Soulmirror Stone and recorded the Formation below, then nodded, "We can destroy it now."

Kellan Gentry flew to the high mountains next to the canyon and slammed down a heavy punch.

The mountain instantly shattered, and countless giant rocks tumbled from the sky onto the Formation, immediately smashing it into pieces, its light dimming.

Mud and rocks followed, completely burying the entire valley, and with that, the Formation disappeared under the mud and stones.

The three of them returned to Tianyuan City. Kellan Gentry stood above the city gate and shouted loudly, "The City Lord of Tianyuan City, Kent Rollins, and Artifact Refining Master Douglas Meyers are remnants of the Ancient Heretic Sect, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. Douglas Meyers, under the pretext of crafting magical treasures, lured Deputy City Lord Larry Stein to refine five hundred innocent girls into Blood Beads!"

"Now Larry Stein has been put to death. Kent Rollins and Douglas Meyers conspired against the Human Emperor. Kent Rollins had his right arm severed by the Human Emperor and both he and Douglas Meyers have fled..."

Kellan Gentry hadn’t finished speaking when three figures arrived in an instant—it was the three Deputy City Lords.

"Stop! What are you talking about?"

Kellan Gentry’s words had already spread throughout Tianyuan City like thunder, he didn’t need to continue. He chuckled and swept his gaze over the three Deputy City Lords.

"The great City Lord of Tianyuan City turns out to be a remnant of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, secretly collaborating with Artifact Refining Master Douglas Meyers, even trying to recruit Deputy City Lord Larry Stein into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. Now, I am also quite suspicious of you three, wondering if there might be disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect among you as well?"

The three Deputy City Lords’ faces changed dramatically, and their gazes uniformly landed on Mr. Flores, "Mr. Flores, is what he said true?"

Mr. Flores replied frankly, "It is true."

Mr. Flores recounted all that had occurred before, and the faces of the three Deputy City Lords turned quite grim, exchanging glances with a hint of wariness appearing unconsciously in their eyes.

The Ancient Heretic Sect, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

The Path of Refinement!

Turning humans into Blood Beads to enhance strength or to craft elixirs and artifacts!

Such evil deeds, happening right next to them, and carried out by the City Lord!

Jorge Gross showed them the video of the Formation, and finally said, "We’ve said all that needs to be said, we’re leaving."

One Deputy City Lord asked, "Aren’t you entering Tianyuan City?"

Kellan Gentry spoke leisurely, "With the City Lord himself a member of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, I fear this place is a den of thieves. Once inside, we might be trapped and unable to escape. If I, a Bandit King, were to die, it would be one thing, but the Human Emperor is vital to the survival of the Human Race, we can’t take that risk. So, we dare not enter this city."

The three Deputy City Lords were at a loss for words.

It’s hard to judge what’s truly in other’s hearts, and they couldn’t be certain if the other two were possibly disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. With the City Lord himself committing such acts, how could they justify speaking longer?

Mr. Flores and the others turned around and left promptly, leaving behind the thunderous echoes of Kellan Gentry’s voice to stir whatever reaction it would among the crowd. That was no longer their concern.

All they needed to do was reveal the identities of Kent Rollins and Douglas Meyers and spread the news.

Although they hadn’t captured the two men or revealed higher-ups within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, they at least confirmed its existence and had a rough idea of their numbers and structure.

"If we can’t enter Tianyuan City, how do we gather information?"

Jorge Gross chuckled, "That’s no problem; there’s a way for every snake and a path for every rat. Coming to Tianyuan City was mostly to repair his armor. Now, finding a place to quietly cultivate is enough; leave the information gathering to me..."

"Alright!"

Near Tianyuan City, in a secluded area, they found a tranquil cave.

Jorge Gross and Kellan Gentry went out to gather information, while Mr. Flores stayed behind to focus on his cultivation, especially since he had just advanced to the Initial Spirit Transformation Stage and needed to stabilize and enhance his power.

Mr. Flores sat in meditation for half a month, during which he completely stabilized his Realm.

Mr. Flores took out the Luminous Stones from his Space Ring, which he had painstakingly obtained from the underground tombs of the Eternal Mine, nearly fifty pieces in total!

Previously during his bottleneck period, he couldn’t use them, but now at the Initial Spirit Transformation Stage, they were perfect to use.
