Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884: Journey to the Upper Domain
Oliver Watson!
This name is now well-known across the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
Earlier, the guards at the main gate of the Shadow Mountain black market headquarters hadn’t reacted yet.
Now, after realizing it, they exchanged glances and saw astonishment and disbelief in each other’s eyes.
"Oliver Watson, the former Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace at Mysterious Void Mansion? Later, the one who practiced the Devouring Dark_Demon Art?"
"There were rumors claiming... that Oliver Watson practiced the Devouring Dark_Demon Art to find Vice Chief Fenning! I initially thought those rumors were unreliable, but now it seems true."
"Vice Chief Fenning was indeed killed by Oliver Watson!"
...
Soon, the news of Vice Chief Diffy Fenning’s death spread throughout the Shadow Mountain black market headquarters.
As a result, the Shadow Mountain black market leaders, led by their chief ’Dugul’, gathered to discuss how to hunt down Oliver Watson and kill him to avenge Diffy Fenning.
At the same time, after leaving the Shadow Mountain black market headquarters, ’Oliver Watson’ returned to his recent place of refuge.
His refuge was located in a secluded mountain range, within a valley, where two simple wooden huts stood. Judging from the wood used for the huts, they were clearly newly constructed.
One of the huts was where he lived.
The other hut was where the former Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion ’Peace Adams’ lived.
To this day, Peace Adams’ soul was nearly restored and had already begun attempting to integrate into his body.
Once it fully integrates into the body, he will be reborn and see the light of day!
Creak!
Suddenly, the door of the hut opened.
"Back already?"
Currently, Peace Adams, although his soul hasn’t fully returned to the body yet, can freely use his Divine Sense, so he easily sensed who had come in.
"Yes."
The person who came in was none other than ’Oliver Watson’.
Now, Oliver Watson’s gaze towards Peace Adams was flashing with a chilling gleam.
"Didn’t you go to avenge Diffy Fenning? How did it turn out?"
Peace Adams asked.
"Very smoothly, he’s already dead."
Oliver Watson replied indifferently.
"That’s good... As soon as I fully recover, I will pass the final part of the Devouring Dark_Demon Art to you! In the future, with our combined strength, the world will be ours to conquer!"
Peace Adams spoke with apparent excitement.
"You’re unlikely to have that opportunity."
Oliver Watson suddenly said.
"Don’t joke!"
Peace Adams thought Oliver Watson was joking.
"I’m not joking."
Oliver Watson’s tone gradually grew colder.
"Don’t forget, before handing the Devouring Dark_Demon Art to you and Tommy Dunn, you both swore a Lightning Oath... Unless I personally antagonize you, you must not kill me! If you kill me, you’ll break the Lightning Oath and surely die!"
Peace Adams didn’t seem concerned.
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I’ve thought it over; even without killing you, I can ensure you never see the light of day!"
Oliver Watson was even less concerned.
"What... what do you plan to do?"
Finally, Peace Adams’ voice changed, becoming somewhat panicked, as the tone of Oliver Watson’s words suggested he wasn’t joking!
"You know... if you were turned into a human stick, even if your soul returns to your body, what good is it?"
Oliver Watson seemed to be speaking to Peace Adams, or perhaps talking to himself.
"No! No! You can’t do that... You can’t! You can’t! No!!"
Peace Adams was completely panicked and frantic, hysterical as he communicated again.
However, Oliver Watson ignored Peace Adams’ words, raised his hand, and cut off one of Peace Adams’ arms.
"Don’t you want the final part of the Devouring Dark_Demon Art anymore?"
Peace Adams’ current communication sounded entirely like shouting.
Although Peace Adams’ soul hadn’t returned to his body, making him unable to feel pain, his Divine Sense detected that one of his arms had been severed.
"In the future, I plan to practice the Devouring Dark_Demon Art by absorbing lunar energy... Do you think I still need that final part?"
Oliver Watson spoke indifferently while cutting off another of Peace Adams’ arms.
Finally, in Peace Adams’ desperate cries, Oliver Watson forcibly turned him into a human stick and threw him into a secluded cave he had already prepared.
He then sealed the cave, forever imprisoning Peace Adams inside.
As for Peace Adams’ nearly restored soul, it was further injured and left with highly corrosive demonic energy, constantly wearing away at Peace Adams’ soul, preventing its restoration.
Due to the Lightning Oath, Oliver Watson couldn’t kill Peace Adams, so he could only do this.
"House Master... Although I couldn’t kill him due to the constraints of the Lightning Oath, he can no longer cause any trouble for Mysterious Void Mansion! This counts as my final contribution to Mysterious Void Mansion before leaving the Lower Domain."
After finishing everything, Oliver Watson soared into the sky, gazing in the direction of Mysterious Void Mansion’s location, and murmured.
After his words fell, he headed straight north.
Prior to intercepting and killing Diffy Fenning, he had already planned.
After killing Diffy Fenning, he would eliminate the threat of Peace Adams for Mysterious Void Mansion and then leave the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, heading to the Upper Domain.
He intended to start a new ’life’ in the Upper Domain.
With the Devouring Dark_Demon Art, even without taking shortcuts, he was confident in carving out his own path!
At this moment, he felt the blood inside him, dormant for many years, boiling once again, as if he returned to his youthful days, full of passion and excitement!
"Hmm?"
After traveling for several days, when about to arrive at the location of the passage from the ’Lower Domain’ to the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, two familiar figures came clearly into Oliver Watson’s view.
"It’s them! Are they... planning to go to the Upper Domain?"
Muttering to himself quietly, Oliver Watson also guessed some things.
The two figures appearing before Oliver Watson were none other than ’Wyatt Barnes’ and ’Augustine Landon’, whom he had coincidentally met a while ago.
Whoosh!
In a flash, Oliver Watson surpassed Wyatt Barnes and Augustine Landon, appearing in front of the two of them.
"Hall Master Watson?"
Wyatt Barnes had long sensed the movement behind him, but since the person coming from behind showed no hostility, he didn’t pay much attention.
Now, when the other suddenly appeared in front of him, revealing his true face, Wyatt was taken aback.
"You... what do you want?!"
Compared to Wyatt Barnes’s surprise, Augustine Landon’s face changed drastically upon seeing Oliver Watson again.
He thought Oliver Watson regretted letting them go that day, so he came after them to resolve unfinished business.
"Wyatt Barnes, are you planning to go to the ’Upper Domain’?"
Oliver Watson asked.
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, then asked in slight surprise, "Is Hall Master Watson also planning to go to the Upper Domain?"
"Yes."
Oliver Watson nodded, "Now that I’ve avenged myself, I have no more ties in the Lower Domain... so I intend to start a new life in the Upper Domain. If you don’t mind, how about we travel together for now?"
Hearing this, Wyatt Barnes didn’t respond directly to Oliver Watson but looked at Augustine Landon, waiting for his opinion.
He did this simply to respect Augustine Landon’s choice.
After all, he wasn’t alone.
If he were alone, he wouldn’t mind Oliver Watson joining them.
After all, now that Oliver Watson had avenged himself, he no longer planned to continue taking shortcuts to cultivate the Devouring Dark_Demon Art, cultivating it the right way meant he was on the path of reform.
As the saying goes, "A prodigal son returns, worth more than gold."
With Oliver Watson no longer committing heinous acts, Wyatt Barnes didn’t reject his company.
Wyatt Barnes’s respect for Augustine Landon’s opinion naturally warmed Augustine Landon’s heart.
"Junior Brother Wyatt, you decide."
However, Augustine Landon eventually left the choice to Wyatt Barnes.
"Hall Master Watson, we will travel with you."
Wyatt Barnes said to Oliver Watson, which made the latter quite excited.
After all, if he were to go to the Upper Domain alone, he would be completely alone there, knowing no one, and would have to start everything from scratch.
But if he had strong companions from the very beginning, everything would be completely different.
At the very least, the journey would be much smoother.
Meanwhile, although Augustine Landon didn’t say much more, the cautious look he gave Oliver Watson was still evident.
Oliver Watson naturally noticed it, but he didn’t mind on the surface.
Of course, he only pretended not to mind, but he felt quite bitter inside.
Compared to Wyatt Barnes, during their time in the Mysterious Void Mansion, Oliver Watson’s relationship with Augustine Landon was clearly much closer than with Wyatt Barnes.
The latter was just an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Palace; the former was, in terms of seniority, strictly speaking, his junior nephew!
The three of them traveled together, and they soon arrived near the location of the passage from the Lower Domain to the Upper Domain.
What appeared before the three of them was an imposing snowy mountain.
Because of the geographical location, this area was covered in snow all year round. Even now, it was snowing heavily.
"Elder Mullins."
At the peak of the snowy mountain, Wyatt Barnes once again met the guardian of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, whom he had seen at the Mansion of Azure Clouds not long ago, Elder Mullins.
As Wyatt Barnes took the initiative to greet him, Elder Mullins also recognized Wyatt Barnes, the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, and the son of the House Master, Lanni Barnes.
"Heading to the Upper Domain?"
Elder Mullins asked.
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, "Elder Mullins, we know the passage is nearby, but we’ve searched for a long time and still couldn’t find it... Could you guide us?"
"Follow me."
With a casual glance at Oliver Watson and Augustine Landon beside Wyatt Barnes, Elder Mullins said to Wyatt Barnes.
Meanwhile, he stepped into the air, leading Wyatt Barnes and the others to the middle of the imposing snowy mountain.
The middle of the mountain was heavily covered with snow.
Whoosh!!
Under the watchful eyes of Wyatt Barnes and the others, Elder Mullins raised his hand, gathering immense power into his palm.
With a sweeping motion, an invisible force shot out like a broom, brushing away a section of the snow on the mountainside, revealing the entrance to a cave.
At a glance, the inside of the cave was pitch black, nothing could be seen.
"Is this the passage from the Lower Domain to the Upper Domain?"
Looking at the exceedingly ordinary cave entrance before him, Augustine Landon felt somewhat disappointed.
