Chapter 1039 The Truth Will Eventually Surface
Kaltan had encorcined malevoler squirts before and logically shouldn’t fear anything. However, the crow before him involuntarily inspired fear
par had once said that they should be respectful in such situations.
Kolton bowed respectfully to the crow in front of everyone. “I apologize for any offense.”
“Mr. Pennington, what are you doing?” someone asked, puzzled.
Kolton couldn’t quite understand his own feelings but explained, “This crow is extraordinary.”
“Extraordinary?” The others trusted Kolton’s judgment. Seeing his respect, they followed suit.
Most bizarrely, the crow acknowledged their bow. He strutted a couple of steps with his head held high.
Albert was surprised. “Wynter, that crow…” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“He indeed has quite a background.” Wynter touched her chin. “This seems quite effective.”
The look in her eyes suggested she was thinking about something else.
When the crow noticed Wynter’s gaze, he stopped his strut. He reverted to a blank–eyed state, pretending to be an ordinary crow.
This would be easier to explain to Dalton that he was not to blame. It was Mt. Dragon’s cultivator’s fault
for exposing him.
Seeing this, Wynter’s smile deepened. With a tap of her finger, a copper coin disappeared into the ground.
The circle vanished, and the crow flapped his wings, perching on a branch. The onlookers were amazed.
Wynter glanced at the crow again.
Understanding her intent, the crow descended once more and pecked at the ground with his beak. He let
out a “caw” and went back to perching on the branch.
His eyes were unflinchingly fixed on the spectators, as though he were waiting for them to start the ritual.
Kolton was now compelled to act. “Since it’s an omen given by the crow, if we don’t dig this up,
misfortune will befall everyone here.”
After saying that, he glanced at Declan. “Mr. Declan, I must proceed.”
With those words, Kolton confidently performed the ritual while murmuring some chants.
As they dug deeper, the clouds in the sky began to change. They seemed to carry booming thunder with
them.
At this moment, Kolton’s expression changed drastically. “This isn’t just a matter of spirits. It’s… It’s…”
Though curious, the relatives dared not ask, feeling the eerie atmosphere. Was this weather change a normal occurrence?
Among the crowd, only Wynter stood tall and composed, her eyes shining.
She had vowed to Gordon that she would let him be unearthed gloriously under everyone’s eyes, and she had succeeded.
Kolton’s words echoed with the first clap of thunder. “The spirits are all trapped underground. This isn’t just affecting the geomancy. T–This is an Earthbound Formation!”
Kolton trembled. He couldn’t believe that he had encountered an Earthbound Formation at Quinnell Villa.
He had been in such formations before, but it was always under Kaspar’s guidance.
Earthbound Formations weren’t formed overnight. Novices entering such formations risked becoming nourishment for the formation master. That was why they always ventured in groups of five.
Now, Kolton was alone.
Moreover, the resentment stirred by this Earthbound Formation had an impact for miles around, even altering the weather.
Gritting his teeth, Kolton instinctively wanted to call for assistance. He texted Kaspar about the situation.
But as he dug another inch, his eyes widened. “Someone has actually broken this formation. Who could it be?”
He turned to look at Declan.
Declan’s eyes turned cold. The formation had been broken? How was that possible? But there was no other explanation, as the sky was filled with nothing except thunder.
The spirits bound in the formation began ascending into the air.
It was then that the cremation urn was exposed.
