Chapter 3929 Willowbank
Meanwhile, in the outer areas of Dragon’s Grave Valley, a group of bounty hunters was roaming about. Not long ago, they detected the energy level fluctuations coming from the Heavenly Thunder in Dragon’s Grave Valley.
One of the Heavenly Thunder’s beams even struck a tree on the outside of Dragon’s Grave Valley, reducing it to ashes on the spot.
Fortunately, the bounty hunters were standing at a safe distance from the tree when that happened. Otherwise, they, too, would’ve been turned to ashes along with it.
Even so, the Heavenly Thunder’s shockwave alone was enough to cause internal injuries to those with lower cultivation levels. The bounty hunters were all shocked to the core as they had never seen anything like this before.
That wasn’t the end of it, though. The group also noticed the sparks and bright light in the sky above the core area of Dragon’s Grave Valley. The Heavenly Thunder crackled in the sky like fireworks, but it never struck the ground.
In addition to that, a slight vibration could be felt in the ground all over Dragon’s Grave Valley. The vibration was rhythmic and resembled the beating of a drum.
Naturally, the bounty hunters had noticed all of those changes in the environment. “What’s going on here?”
“We’ve never seen anything like this, even though we’ve been operating in Dragon’s Grave Valley all this while!”
“Do you think someone is performing some kind of crazy ritual in Dragon’s Grave Valley?”
The atmosphere instantly grew tense when they heard that.
Wait a minute… Could it be that the crazy guy from earlier is still alive? Could he be the one causing this commotion?
Right when the bounty hunters were about to dismiss that thought, another group of people passed by the outer area of Dragon’s Grave Valley.
They were all wearing black robes with the logo of two axes crossing each other—one golden and one purple—embroidered on their chests.
Those were men from Cordierite Association, which was often active in the core area of Dragon’s Grave Valley and more powerful than Prime Association.
Being the first to notice the strange phenomenon in the sky, the leader of the group waved at his men and motioned for them to stop in their tracks.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have paid heed to such things as they were commonplace in Dragon’s Grave Valley.
Besides, it would cost them a lot of money, resources, and manpower to travel all the way there. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
On top of that, Prime Association was also operating in the area, so they didn’t want to get into any unnecessary conflicts if possible.
Since the men from Cordierite Association were just passing by while transporting resources for cultivation, they didn’t plan on making any detours.
However, the presence of two very powerful auras coming from the core area of Dragon’s Grave Valley indicated that something big was going down.
“These two auras are unique and unusually powerful. Could it be that some rare treasures have appeared?” the leader of the group mumbled while staring solemnly in the direction of the core area.
“How about we send some men over to check it out?” one of his men suggested.
“That’s right! We have tons of elites in our group. Those bounty hunters wouldn’t dare get in our way!” said another.
“I like using the best resources for cultivation, and I haven’t tried using Heavenly Thunder to metamorphose. I would like to request permission to go have a look, sir!”
As the group was mostly comprised of elites, they weren’t afraid of investigating strange phenomena in Dragon’s Grave Valley, let alone the bounty hunters that roamed the area.
“Do not act rashly. This energy is far beyond what we can handle, and we cannot afford to lose this cargo. We’ll need to carefully formulate a plan if we are to investigate that unusual phenomenon in Dragon’s Grave Valley. Let us first head back to Cordierite Association in Willowbank and report our findings to Mr. Fitzgerald. He’ll make the final decision on this matter. Willowbank isn’t far, so it won’t take long for us to get there and back,” said the leader sternly.
“Aren’t you being a little too cautious, sir? What danger could possibly await us in such a remote area? The restricted areas behind our sect are a lot more dangerous than Dragon’s Grave Valley, and yet, I’ve never run into any dangers there!”
