Monarch of Darkness

Chapter 136: Old man Mu



A small commotion immediately broke out after Ether Jackson finished speaking. There was doubt in the eyes of some warriors but most of them became excited after hearing the announcement. 

"General Will, do you have any idea about the target?", a scholarly looking man asked the stern faced man to the side. The stern faced man was Will Robinson ,one of the seven general of Thousand swords kingdom.

"I don't know. Ask Pedro if he has any idea about it", Will Robinson replied. The scholarly looking man looked towards the place where general Pedro was sitting. But before he could ask, he heard the voice of Pedro.

"How many time I have to say. I don't know about anything", Pedro Castillo who was also one of the seven general yelled at the over enthusiastic people around him. 

Many people felt confused as they couldn't get a clue from anyone present. They looked at Ether Jackson with curiousity in their eyes.

"Everyone, we have six Core Condensation realm experts and nineteen peak Profound transformation realm experts here. We will make three groups. General Pedro and general Will will lead a group each. The third group will be led by the commander of city guards", Ether Jackson spoke.

"Is everything clear?", Ether Jackson looked at the warriors present. 

"We heard and obey your order", everyone shouted in unison. 

"Good. Now general Pedro, general Will, guard commander Ian come out and choose seven person each for your group", Ether Jackson spoke with a commanding voice.

General Pedro, general Will and guard commander Ian stepped out and bowed towards Ether Jackson. Then they quickly started to organise their group. Evan looked at these three Core Condensation realm experts with interest. He had already seen general Pedro in Sylvia clan. His gaze shifted to general Will who seemed like a stern general. With a height of seven feet, he had a towering presence among other warriors.

Evan shifted his gaze to guard commander Ian who was looking like a plain middle aged man. He had an amiable expression on his face as he started to choose the suitable warriors for his group.

Evan felt a divine sense scanning his body. He shifted his gaze to look at the source. A old man with plain clothes smiled at him. Evan frowned slightly but relaxed his face after sensing no malicious intent from the old man.

"Who is this old man? There are so many Nascent soul stage experts but they still do not dare to use their soul sense Infront of the great grand uncle. Yet, he still use his soul sense to check on me", Evan thought inside his mind. He nodded at the old man and shifted his gaze to other people. 

The royal family had gathered a sizable amount of experts for this mission. Evan looked at every experts to find anyone with bad intent but he couldn't detect anyone with ulterior motive. The ability of his royal devil soul was not omnipotent. It could only detect if any people had any malicious thoughts towards him. So far, he didn't detect anyone with such intentions. "Looks like these people are indeed loyal to our family", he thought inside his mind.

"General Will, general Pedro and guard commander Ian shall remain. as for others, leave the throne room immediately and wait outside", Ether Jackson commanded.

The crowd dispersed immediately and only general Will, general Pedro and guard commander Ian left in the throne room. What surprised Evan was the fact that the old man who had used his soul consciousness on him, remain seated despite Ether Jackson's command. Moreover, what was more surprising to him was that noone looked at him despite his disobedience. It was like everyone present was ignoring the existence of the old man. 

"Old man Mu, how is little Evan?", Ether Jackson smiled at the seated old man after he sent away the two generals and the guard commander.

Evan felt weird after listening the name of the old man.

"Not bad, this little brat has already reached late stage Meridian opening realm at the age of twelve. If he can reach Profound transformation realm before turning thirteen, then he can compete with the geniuses of the southern land", the old man replied with a mild smile.

"Oh, it is rare for you to praise someone. I thought with your origin, no one of our northern part will enter your eyes", Ether Jackson smiled at the old man. The old man named Mu laughed indifferently after hearing the words of Ether Jackson.

"How is the thing going in your side? Have you managed to find some clues?", Ether Jackson asked in a serious look on his face.

"Yes, the origin of those tailsman are easy to guess. Those tailsman are from the Heavenly craft manor. But the most worrying part is the origin of those berserk blood pills. I can only tell that these pills are from the Barren evil land", old man Mu replied with a calm voice.

"Barren evil land! Those Golden orb bastards actually dare to collude with evil forces!", Ether Jackson murmured with surprise in his voice. Evan's eyes flashed but he didn't show anything on the surface.

"Fine, we will discuss about it later. Are you coming to the Black family?", Ether Jackdon asked. Old man Mu shook his head and walked off from the throne palace.

"Great grand uncle, who is this person?", Evan couldn't hold his curiousity anymore. 

"He is Mu Youshen. He is also from the southern land like the Mason family", Ether Jackson replied. 

"I heard you have interest in inscription?", Ether Jackson looked at Evan. Evan nodded his head.

"You can consult with old man Mu. He is one of the best inscription master of southern land", Ether Jackson spoke with a smile.

"Who is there?", a Black family guard asked ascontemporary romance

he felt some movement from a distance.

"Swish!", before he could see anything a flying dagger struck his chest. Some silhouettes appeared immediately after the Black family guard was struck and one of them quickly cut the throat of the guard. Their movements were smooth as they didn't give anytime to the guard.

Figures after figure emerged from the darkness and they quickly entered the Black family gate. Evan was seeing the scene with Ether Jackson. Both he and Ether Jackson had a calm look on their faces as they observed the slaughter from the sky.
