The value of the Innate Dao Body was immeasurable.
To motivate the Silver Willow Imperial Family, the Thirteenth Elder did not hesitate to make a heavy promise.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, a hint of joy appeared on Allen’s face.
Originally, he thought that with Lowell dead and the Innate Dao Body missing, the matter had failed, and he would not be able to get the Eternal Pine Pills.
He did not expect the Thirteenth Elder would not only promise the Eternal Pine Pills but offer to gift a secret realm to the Silver Willow Imperial Family as well.
A trace of urgency flashed in Allen’s eyes. The Imperial Master cultivated the Myriad Demon Blood Hell Scripture, and his condition was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Without the Eternal Pine Pills to extend his life, he probably would not last more than a few years. He had to seize this opportunity.
"Rest assured, Thirteenth Elder. The Silver Willow Imperial Family is at your complete disposal."
Seeing Allen act so sensibly, the Thirteenth Elder inquired, "Chief Eunuch Allen, have any Sword Dao experts appeared in the Silver Willow capital recently?"
The murderer had acted with extreme caution. When the Thirteenth Elder arrived at the scene, aside from traces of ravaging sword qi, there were no other clues.
He could only start from this angle to see if he could find any trail leading to the Innate Dao Body.
"A Sword Dao expert?" Allen muttered, confusion in his eyes.
Seeing this, the Thirteenth Elder could only explain his deductions to Allen thoroughly.
After hearing the full account, Allen’s eyes filled with sudden realization. Judging from the traces at the scene, Lowell had most likely been killed by a Sword Dao expert.
After pondering for a moment, a bright light flashed in Allen’s eyes, as if he had discovered the truth.
"Thirteenth Elder, if you are talking about Sword Dao experts, there truly is one in the capital who absolutely deserves the title of Sword Dao Great Grandmaster."
"Oh? Quickly, tell me."
The Thirteenth Elder became somewhat excited. His deduction had not been wrong, and he eagerly pressed Allen for details.
After organizing his thoughts, Allen continued, "This humble servant interacted with Young Master Lowell for a time and gained some understanding of his strength."
"Young Master Lowell became a Great Grandmaster at such a young age, and his combat prowess far exceeded his realm. Even an ordinary Sword Dao expert might not have been able to capture him, let alone kill him instantly."
"But this person in the capital is a peerless Sword Dao talent rarely seen in Silver Willow in three hundred years. Furthermore, he hails from the Sword Sect."
"The Sword Sect is the strongest Sword Dao sect in Silver Willow. This person’s cultivation is unfathomable."
"Against his strength, Young Master Lowell would not have had any power to resist."
Relying on the might of the Ancient Ash Clan, the Thirteenth Elder had always been domineering and had not taken the Silver Willow Imperial Family seriously.
However, he had never underestimated Allen’s strength. Even though Allen had self-severed his cultivation and fallen from the Deity Realm, the Thirteenth Elder could still sense a trace of danger from him.
Since even Allen praised this person so highly, this individual’s Sword Dao attainments were definitely extraordinary.
"Speak quickly! Who is this person, and where is he now? I will capture him immediately."
The Thirteenth Elder could not wait. He wanted to capture the Sword Dao Great Grandmaster Allen mentioned and interrogate him under torture.
Allen thought for a moment. "This person’s sword title is Desolate Sword. He is one of the Seven Sons of the Sword Sect. He loves fine wine and is currently residing in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion."
"If the Thirteenth Elder wishes to capture him, this servant can lead the way."
"Quickly. Take me to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion immediately."
"Yes, Thirteenth Elder."
Allen led the Thirteenth Elder through the air, and they quickly arrived at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. freewebnoveℓ.com
After questioning the innkeeper, they learned that Desolate Sword had left the Drunken Immortal Pavilion seven days ago, his whereabouts unknown.
"Sure enough! This Desolate Sword’s movements are suspicious. Lowell died seven days ago, and this person just so happened to leave the Drunken Immortal Pavilion seven days ago. This is far too coincidental!"
The more he thought about it, the more the Thirteenth Elder felt this was Desolate Sword’s doing.
The Innate Dao Body was a supreme physique for cultivating the Dao.
Desolate Sword must have cherished such talent, having this motive was painfully obvious.
The timeline and motive matched perfectly. They had to capture Desolate Sword and interrogate him.
"Chief Eunuch Allen, quickly, arrest Desolate Sword! This person is definitely related to Lowell’s death. It is highly likely he took the Innate Dao Body away."
Seeing the hesitation on Allen’s face, the Thirteenth Elder showed displeasure. "What, are you unwilling?"
Allen looked troubled. "Thirteenth Elder, it is not that this servant is unwilling, but rather that I am truly powerless to do so!"
Powerless! The Thirteenth Elder was astonished. He never expected to hear such words from Allen. freewēbnoveℓ.com
According to Allen’s statements, the Sword Sect was merely the strongest Sword Dao sect in Silver Willow.
Compared to the massive Silver Willow Dynasty, they should have been far inferior.
He did not expect the Imperial Family to be unable to do anything to the Sword Sect. Could there be something bizarre about the Sword Sect?
Facing the Thirteenth Elder’s astonished gaze, Allen continued, "The Sword Sect is a new sect established only three hundred years ago. Over these centuries, although talents emerged in large numbers, no one matched the grand prestige the founder had back then."
"It was not until this generation’s Sword Sect Master that the Sword Sect finally welcomed a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering figure."
He had not expected Allen to revere the Sword Sect Master so much. A trace of solemnity flashed in the Thirteenth Elder’s eyes.
The Thirteenth Elder did not dare underestimate Allen’s strength in the slightest. But for such a figure to marvel at the Sword Sect Master, this Sect Master must be a remarkable individual.
