Chapter 877

Peter clasped his hands behind his back, a gleeful look on his face as

he said, “This ghoul overlord is miles more powerful than the one

from a few years back. Now, I’m going to make it even more

powerful!”

When he finished his sentence, he walked to the corner where a sack

was.

He opened the sack to retrieve the dragon meridian that would be used to upgrade the ghoul overlord’s powers.

However, the smile on his face froze when he pulled the sack open.

Where was the dragon meridian?

An ugly look immediately settled across Peter’s face.

He began recalling his journey from Jonford.

Ever since leaving the Duerson household, he had been the onl

person in the Rolls-Royce.

That sack had never left his person before they arrived at Sigu

After the tents were set up, he had placed the sack in a corner. However, even then, both he and the Swordsman had never left

tent.

They had only left for a short while to greet the visitors from the Black

Wind Mountains just now.

Mireille had been the only person left in the

ent.

“Master Peter?”

Black Gem could not help but call out to Peter, confused as to why he

was hunched over, unmoving.

Peter forced himself to suppress his anger as he smiled awkwardly

and said, “There’s been a minor incident. My apologies for that!”

The visitors from the Black Wind Mountains had already experienced

the ghoul overlord’s terrifying aura firsthand and thus did not dare

show Master Peter any disrespect. Not even the slightest hint of a

mocking look could be seen on their faces.

Besides, their leader seemed interested in bringing Master Peter over

to their side. They might end up working as a team in the future.

Black Gem said kindly, “This ghoul overlord has been cultivated nicely,

but I must remind you that everything is best done in moderation.

Your plans might backfire on you if you keep striving for perfection!”

The ghoul overlord had been cultivated in a short time, but it already possessed the necessary qualities to be upgraded into a demo

Ghoul overlords were some of the most powerful shadow c

but they could still be reined under control. If it were upgraded demon, it could no longer be controlled.

No one in history had been able to control a demon.

“Thank you for your reminder, Master Black Gem. I will keep it in

mind!”

Peter could tell that Black Gem genuinely had his best interests in mind and bowed to him respectfully.

Chapter 77

He knew better than everyone else just how terrifying demons were. Before replaceing a way to control the demons, he would keep the ghoul overlord’s growth under control.

Peter invited everyone from the Black Wind Mountains to sit down for

some tea after that.

Several thousand feet away from the tent…

As Eric and the others got out of the car, they saw Bladesman Divus

and the others approaching them.

Eric stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking every bit

like a person in power.

Melody and the others stood behind Eric, heads high and chests out,

fearless expressions on their faces.

Soon, Duncan and his crew stood before Eric.

When Duncan caught sight of Melody standing behind Eric, he clicked

his tongue and said in wonder, “Nash truly deserves to be

Johnathan’s disciple. His skills in the art of healing are truly

wondrous!”

Though he sounded like he was praising Nash, an ugly look

on his face as he spoke.

Nash had first healed Kai, who practically already had one foot

coffin.

Then, he had healed Melody, whose body had been battered beyon

repair.

Chape

His jealousy of these skills had turned into hatred.

Boris narrowed his eyes. “Still haven’t learned your lesson, little girl?”

Melody tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and smiled elegantly, “I’m still breathing, aren’t I?”

Boris scoffed. “You got lucky. But you won’t be lucky every time!”

“Gosh… So, old man, you’re the one who bullied a girl?”

“A Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artist attacking a girl who has only achieved Profound Reality Realm. I feel ashamed on your behalf!”

Finn spoke mockingly.

A cold look appeared in Boris’ eyes as his true energy churned within

him.

Eric turned to Finn and frowned. “Why do you have so much crap to

say?”

Finn was stunned, but he did not dare retort. After all, even Nash

treated him with respect.

Then, Eric said, “This motherless orphan has never received an

education. Do you think he’d know what the word ashamed meal
