Chapter 140 - 140: The Immortal Gate 1
“Three powerhouses? How did they detect this place?”
Hearing Taylor’s warning, Leo Ray frowned slightly, gently stroking his chin while showing a puzzled expression.
“My Lord, it should be due to the energy fluctuation that spread outward when we activated the first magic restriction earlier, which drew their attention,” said Gideon Black, adjusting his invisible gold-rimmed glasses and bowing to Leo Ray. “However, that energy fluctuation had a very limited range and couldn’t have affected Golin City.
We can deduce that they were already in the surrounding mountains at that time.”
With a thoughtful nod, Leo Ray then asked Taylor through mind talk, “What is their specific strength?”
“My Lord, we can now confirm that they are three Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses.”
After a brief pause, Taylor’s deep and powerful voice came again, “Specifically, they are all around Tier 3 Six-Star level.”
“Understood. Let us wait and see who these esteemed guests are.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and turned to Solomon and Sylvia, who were standing nearby with confused expressions. He said seriously, ‘Both of you, gather your people, retreat to the back. If I’m not mistaken, their sudden appearance may not be well-intentioned. ”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, Solomon and Sylvia’s faces showed surprise, followed by a touch of panic.
There was no doubt that looking at Leo Ray’s serious expression, the newcomers’ strength was not to be underestimated!
“Lord Ray, what do you need us to do?”
Swallowing nervously, Solomon handed the torch he was holding to a nearby farmer. He then gripped his Tier 3 short sword tightly, looking anxious and asked.
“Just stand aside and stay quiet.”
Saying this, Leo Ray, who had Rolanddel on his waist, nodded to Gideon Black and Scarlett, and slowly stood in the central position between the mine entrance and the giant metal gate.
Taylor, Serena, and Stella hid near the entrance, ready to act at any time.
“Interesting, wandering in the mountains late at night… They can’t possibly be out for a walk after dinner, can they?”
Mulling this over, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself, “I wonder what their purpose for entering the mountains is?”
“My Lord, they have arrived.”
On the other side, Taylor’s rough voice came again through mind talk. As Taylor’s voice fell, a fierce gust of wind suddenly blew out from the mine entrance.
Immediately after, three formidable figures landed almost simultaneously, right in front of Leo Ray.
“As expected, it’s the Immortal Gate!”
Under the illumination of a green light ball, the leading figure excitedly said while comparing the parchment in his hand with the giant gate in front of him, “I can’t believe we found it so smoothly on the first night!” “Hehe, young master, we have to thank these little ants.”
Another hoarse voice responded without a care.
“Garrett, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten there were others here.”
With a contemptuous laugh, the clearer leading figure continued taunting.
Through the reflection of the green light ball, it could be seen that the playful smile on his pale face clearly revealed a strong viciousness.
Finally, his cold eyes settled on Scarlett beside Leo Ray, saying menacingly,
“No wonder you could break the magic restrictions earlier. Turns out there’s a Tier 3 Magic Powerhouse here.”
“A Tier 3 Magic Powerhouse?!”Hearing this, Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore, who were trembling in the corner, couldn’t help but exchange glances.
Christopher, actually having a Tier 3 subordinate?!
However, the sneer from the other party made their hearts plummet: “So what? We have three Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses here!”
Looking at the opposing party’s extremely arrogant face, especially the Tier 1 Alchemist Badge on the yellow noble’s clothing, Leo Ray couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly as he was somewhat surprised.
This guy, was none other than Michael Wood from the Hernandez Family, one of the alchemists who were known along with Joshua Bingaman. Undoubtedly, with their perception, they could only see Scarlett’s strength.
“I didn’t expect my first face-to-face encounter with this guy to be in a place like this.”
With a slight curl of his lips, Leo Ray couldn’t help but contemplate as he looked at the parchment in the opponent’s hand.
“So this giant metal door is called the Immortal Gate… It seems that these three entered the mountain specifically to find this door. Coincidentally, it was accidentally discovered by us first.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, the cold and fierce voice of Michael Wood came over from the other side: “Alright, everyone, since you’ve discovered this place, I’ll have to make sure you never open your eyes again.
However, since you helped me find this place, I’ll try my best to make your deaths quick.”
Hearing this, Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore were already pale with fright, standing still in place.
Without a doubt, Christopher and his subordinates, no matter how powerful, simply could not match the three Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses!
“If only Master Leo were here…”
At this moment, Sylvia Moore’s body trembled slightly.
Soon after, a ray of hope emerged on her lovely face: “With Master Leo’s strength in capturing a city, he would absolutely be able to defeat these people! ”
“Sis, don’t be naive. Why would Master Leo show up here?”
On the other side, Solomon Rue’s face had already turned deathly pale, as he shook his head and sighed: “It’s us who implicated Christopher. I didn’t expect we would die in such a dark and gloomy place.”
Noticing the utterly disheartened expressions of Serena and Stella behind him, the composed-looking Leo Ray steadied his nerves once more.
Then, he calmly addressed the grimacing Michael Wood not far away: “Your Excellency, with your strength, even if you find the Immortal Gate, I’m afraid you can’t open it, can you?
Tell me, what is the purpose of your search for this door?”
“I didn’t think there would be a curious baby here.”
Directly across, a cold arc rose at the corner of Michael Wood’s mouth, disdainfully mocking, which prompted the other two powerhouses to laugh out loud.
Pausing for a beat, voice hardened: “Boy, do you think I would bother talking to someone who’s about to die?”
“Young Master, don’t waste time with him. Let me send him on his final journey.”
After finishing, the thin and dry middle-aged man named Garrett Root raised his battle-axe with a chilling glow, menacingly saying.
“Heh heh, I’ll take care of the little ants behind.’
The yellow-faced gray-robed elder licked his cracked lips as he moved his claw spikes on the back of his hand and stared intently at Sylvia’s delicate body.
Hearing this, Michael Wood’s face couldn’t help but reveal a hint of satisfaction.
However, before he could order an attack,
Blood mist suddenly burst from the bodies of Garrett Root and the gray-robed elder, who were ready to launch an attack. They fell to the ground in a pool of blood, their faces filled with horror.
As everything happened in the blink of an eye, by the time everyone reacted,
The two enemy Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses, who were just about to move against them, were already turning into cold corpses.
At this scene, not only was a dumbfounded Michael Wood, but even Solomon and Sylvia, who were already prepared for death, showed disbelief on their faces as they looked at Leo Ray in astonishment.
Just as everyone was stunned, Leo Ray’s calm voice rang again: “Michael Wood, can you now tell me why you were looking for the Immortal Gate?”
