AN UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE - Season 21 Episode 78

A stout man ran to them hurriedly. He was Terra Shade, the head of the Evil Quintet of Shadow Citadel.

Terra appeared disheveled and was covered in wounds, looking rather pathetic compared to his previous dignified appearance.

“Terra? What happened to you?” Dalen looked at him from head to toe and frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.

“Dalen, you must avenge us! My brothers and sisters… the four of them were all murdered!” Terra fell to his knees with a thud and started bawling like a baby.

It was a heartbreaking sight.

“Murdered?” Dalen furrowed his brows and asked, “What happened? Why were they murdered? Have they offended someone powerful?”

The Evil Quintet of Shadow Citadel was well known in the martial world. Each of them had their own unique skills.

If the five of them worked together, ordinary grandmaster martial artists might not be able to take them down.

Apparently, the murderer was not any ordinary warrior since the four of them were killed and Terra was severely injured.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Dalen! We have followed your orders since we entered Sacred Wrym Summit. We behaved ourselves and didn’t cause any trouble! I don’t know why someone would want to kill us!” Terra cried.

They might be domineering, but they were aware that Sacred Wrym Summit was no place to run wild. Thus, they had been keeping their noses clean.

Never in a million years did he expect a swordman would kill his brothers and sister while they were drinking the previous night.

He managed to escape because he used his invisible breath technique to feign death.

“Who’s the murderer? Where’s he from?” asked Dalen in a low tone. Although Evil Quintet was infamous, they were still the disciples of Shadow Citadel. As the successor to Shadow Citadel, Dalen certainly could not sit this one out.

“I’ve no idea who it is. The murderer was dressed in black and wore a mask. He had a three-foot-long sword. He started killing the moment we saw him. He didn’t even say a word!”

Terra couldn’t help but shiver. Then he said with a horrified expression, “His movement was fast. I’ve never seen anyone swing a sword as fast as him.

“My brothers and sisters were all dismembered in just the blink of an eye! If I hadn’t faked my death, I might be dead by now!”

“A person dressed in black and with a mask? Instant kill with a sword?”

Dalen realized something. He turned to Dustin and asked, “Dustin, doesn’t that remind you of someone?”

“Are you saying… the one who murdered the disciples of Shadow Citadel is the same person who murdered Aldric Lang?” Dustin got what he meant.

“We don’t know for sure, but that’s probably the case!” Dalen nodded.

Both mysterious murderers used a sword and were equally skillful. On top of that, both incidents had happened the previous night when it was raining.

It could not be a coincidence. The murderer was most probably the same person.

“If that’s the case, we’ve got some serious problems on hand.”

Dustin narrowed his eyes as he said, “If the murderer is seeking revenge, that would be understandable. But if he has other agendas, I’m afraid he would continue to kill.”

He sensed something was brewing since his duel with Marco the previous day.

“Exceptional warriors murdered before the Combat Tournament of Sacred Wrym Summit… Something smells fishy.”

Dalen ordered with a serious expression, “Terra, gather our people and start investigating. Find out who the killer is, then report to me at once!”

“Yes, sir!” Terra said and left hurriedly. Something was definitely brewing.
