"It's … Gray Fergus?"
"It's … this kid?"
Darren Sidney and Master Tulu were shocked.
They were shocked that Gray would appear here, and they were also shocked by the plant ability that Gray used. After all, they knew that Gray cultivated the Wind Wolf Bloodline Bloodline.
Polly's eyes also revealed a trace of light as she looked at Gray in surprise.
"Gray, why are you here?"
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's leave this place first."
Gray shook his head.
"Yes, this isn't the time to talk about this."
Zaro nodded solemnly. Although he was also shocked by Gray's appearance, this wasn't the time to talk about this.
Although the black-clothed men were all killed, it was clear that this wasn't all that was sent out by the faction that was chasing them.
After checking the three Sidney family guards, they found that two of them were heavily injured, but they weren't dead. Everyone quickly helped them up.
"There are people in front of us, and there are people chasing us from behind. Where should we go now?"
Tulu frowned. The others also frowned.
"I have an idea."
Gray said calmly.
He didn't explain further. After the guards put their hands together, he activated the spatial ring's teleportation ability.
Whoosh!
Light and shadow flashed. When Zaluoyang and the rest regained their senses, they discovered that they were no longer at their original location. Instead, they had appeared in another forest. Beneath their feet, there was a strange purple array pattern.
"How did we suddenly … get here?"
"Where … is this?"
They looked at Gray in shock. They didn't understand how they got here.
Polly had read a lot of books, so she knew a lot about spatial abilities. She looked at Gray in surprise.
"Gray, is this spatial teleportation?"
"Yes, this is the spatial teleportation ability. It's the same as the plant ability. It's the ability of a Mana Weapon that I obtained by chance."
Gray nodded and explained. He also "explained" the plant's ability.
With his strength, it was easy for him to kill the black-clothed men who were chasing Zaro and the others. Whether it was the fusion of wind and ice, blood fiends, or the ability to control corpses, he could do it easily.
However, he didn't do so. Instead, he used the plant ability that he rarely used in order to prevent the faction chasing after Zaro and the others from finding out that he was the culprit.
The strength and Mana Weapon that he displayed were a combination of wind and ice abilities, as well as the ability to control corpses.
He rarely used the plant ability. Very few people knew about it, so it wouldn't be easy for the other party to suspect him based on his ability.
"This place is at least 1,000 li away from the previous place. We should be safe now. Let's treat our wounds first."
After applying some healing medicine on their wounds, the wounds on their bodies immediately stopped bleeding. Gray then took out some white bandages and wrapped them around their wounds. Afterward, he looked at Zaro and said solemnly, "Let's do this.
Zaro and Zaro and asked asked Zaro and the others, "Fergus"
Hearing Gray's question, Zaro's expression changed again and again. After a long time, his eyes were full of hatred as he gritted his teeth and answered.
"It's the King of Assassins, Theodore Itzikir."
"What, it's him?!"
Gray's expression changed.
The King of Assassins, Theodore Itzikir, was one of the few king-level masters in the Purple Moon Kingdom. Back in Mercenary City, Zaro had seen the battle between Theodore Itzikir and the King of Mercenaries. He had witnessed Theodore Itzikir's shocking destructive power.
Although he was shocked by Theodore Itzikir's strength, Zaro had thought that he wouldn't have any interaction with Theodore Itzikir. He didn't expect that they would somehow cross paths.
At the same time, he couldn't help but come to a realization.
When he had entered Sidney City, he had heard the peddlers talking about a green light that appeared in Sidney Castle that night. At that time, he had guessed that Theodore Itzikir's blood fiend ability was wind, and the King of Assassins' blood fiend ability was wind.
"How did the Sidney family provoke him?"
A king-level master who had completed a metamorphosis. Not to mention the Marquis family, even a duke's family, with the exception of the Kenneth family, which had a king-level master, would not be able to escape the fate of destruction.
Logically speaking, given Marquis Sidney's farsightedness, he shouldn't have provoked such an existence of his own accord.
"We didn't provoke him. He was hired by other forces to deal with the Sidney family."
Darren Sidney said with a face full of hatred.
"Hired by someone? Could it be the Wallen family?"
Gray immediately thought of the strange movements of the Wallen family that Zaro had mentioned more than a month ago.
"Although I can't be sure, there's at least a 70% chance that it's the Wallen family!"
Zaro's face was gloomy.
"Logically speaking, the King of Assassins is a king-level master. The Wallen family shouldn't have the ability to hire him. How exactly did the Wallen family hire him?"
Gray furrowed his brows.
"Evolution herbs. The King of Assassins personally admitted that some forces used evolution herbs as the price to hire him."
"Evolution herbs?
The Wallen family actually obtained evolution herbs. "
Gray's face was full of shock.
Indeed, if it was just one evolution herb, it would be enough to hire the King of Assassins.
Back then, the King of Assassins had directly raided Mercenary City to steal evolution herbs. It was clear that he valued evolution herbs and was eager to obtain them.
"More than a month ago, we discovered the strange movements of the Wallen family. Although we tried our best to guard against them, we didn't expect them to hire the King of Assassins."
Zaro clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh. Polly and Darren also had sorrowful expressions.
Gray looked at Zaro and the other two rather sympathetically.
The sudden attack of the King of Assassins was like an irresistible natural disaster to them. In the face of an irresistible force, even if they were already on guard, it was still difficult to avoid. In the face of absolute power, all calculations were useless.
"Don't be too sad. As long as the three of you are still alive, there will be a day of revenge."
Gray consoled them.
"Revenge …?!"
Zaro smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Revenge was easier said than done.
The other party was a king-level fighter. The height that the other party stood at was a height that he could never reach in his lifetime.
Although he was confident in his own potential, he wasn't so blind as to think that he could become a king-level fighter.
Besides, to become a king-level fighter, large amounts of resources were indispensable. Just this alone was enough to choke him to death.
Seeing Zaro like this, Gray sighed in his heart.
A king-level fighter was indeed a mountain that was strong enough to make one despair. Even he, who was confident in his own growth, felt immense pressure, let alone Zaro.
"The King of Assassins did such a thing. The royal family will definitely not let him off. Although you can't kill your enemy personally, the royal family can do it for you."
After thinking for a while, Gray said.
"Yes, the royal family, and the royal family. The royal family will avenge the Sidney family."
Darren Sidney was pleasantly surprised. It was as if the clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky.
Zaloyang and Polly could not help but reveal traces of joy in their eyes. Now, only the royal family had the ability to kill the King of Assassins and avenge the Sidney family.
Seeing that the three of them looked much better, Gray heaved a sigh of relief.
What he said just now was just to comfort the three of them.
If the King of Assassins was so easy to kill, he would have been killed long ago. After all, the other party had once assassinated the king of the Purple Moon Kingdom. How could the royal family not want to kill him?
The reason why he was still alive was definitely because the royal family had tried to kill him, but they couldn't kill him.
Use the teleportation ability. Rest. Use the teleportation ability.
After using the teleportation ability twice, Gray brought Zaro and the rest to the basement of Fergus Castle.
After temporarily settling them down in the basement, Gray informed Earl Fergus and Bernal.
The two of them came to the basement and saw the few of them. After understanding the whole story, they couldn't help but sigh.
Life was unpredictable. They really didn't expect the Sidney family to be in such a predicament.
"Young Master Zaro, Young Master Darren, Miss Polly, please don't be too sad."
Earl Fergus consoled them.
"We understand. Don't worry, we won't be dispirited just because of this!"
Zaro's dejection was swept away, and he had already returned to his usual demeanor. However, one could still see a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Although Polly and Darren still looked sad, they weren't as dejected as they were before.
As descendants of the Marquis family, they had been exposed to the strictest aristocratic education since they were young. They knew very well what to do in such a situation.
After staying in the basement for a while, Gray and the rest got up and left. Earl Fergus said apologetically.
"In order to prevent the news from leaking, I have to trouble you to stay in the basement for now!"
"We're already very grateful to have a place to hide."
Zaro shook his head and said gratefully.
"Yes, we're really grateful this time."
Polly also said gratefully.
Facing a powerful enemy like the King of Assassins, they had almost lost all hope. They were already very grateful that the Fergus family could save them and provide them with a place to hide.
After all, they were very clear about the risks they had to take.
