Chapter 397: Jun Chester, First Encounter with Margaret Lovall!
Margaret Lovall’s words were like a chilling wind from the depths of hell itself! When Monica Osborn heard them, her mind went blank in an instant.
Yes, she had killed Jun Chester, but where was his body? Jun Chester hadn’t mentioned anything about it.
How would she explain this to Margaret Lovall when faced with the question? Monica Osborn was completely bewildered.
But then, in that moment, Monica Osborn had a sudden inspiration and came up with a clever response. “Jun Chester’s body… at that time, it was taken away by Eric Chester. I… I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t defeat Eric Chester! I… I managed to escape!”
Margaret Lovall’s eyes filled with murderous intent upon hearing these words. “Eric Chester is also in Aytwhistdon?”
Monica Osborn quickly replied, “Yes, yes, Eric Chester is also in Aytwhistdon. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left Jun Chester’s body behind… And I’m not lying, I did kill Jun Chester!”
In reality, Monica Osborn didn’t know if Eric Chester was in Aytwhistdon or not. After all, when Monica Osborn saw Jun Chester, he was already on his way to Qingcheng.
Her greatest wish now was for Margaret Lovall to believe her words. That way, Monica Osborn would have some closure regarding Jun Chester.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
However, before Margaret Lovall could ponder further, a young woman dressed in a light yellow gown hurriedly entered the room. Her face was even more anxious than Monica Osborn’s.
As she approached Margaret Lovall, the young woman knelt down and trembled as she spoke, “Master, something… something major has happened!”
Margaret Lovall’s heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she quickly asked, “What happened? Why are you so flustered?”
Instead of answering, the young woman glanced at Monica Osborn, and the meaning was clear. Monica Osborn was present, and she didn’t know whether to report the situation truthfully. Margaret Lovall, however, scolded in anger, “Speak up!”
The young woman trembled in fear and tearfully reported, “Senior Phoebe Chandler… Senior Phoebe Chandler and the others have returned from their expedition to find the python.
They are outside the door, but Senior said… Master Senior has returned, and… and he killed Myrtle!”
Upon hearing this, silence fell within the room. Margaret Lovall’s face turned pale as if struck by thunder. Her mind buzzed, and she even staggered a few steps back, almost collapsing.
It was unimaginable! The sacred mountain python of Mount Emei had been killed! And the one who killed it… was her senior brother, Byron Ortega! Had he gone mad? Why would he kill the Purple Twin Python?
But then, another woman’s voice came from outside the door. “Master, not only did Master Senior kill Myrtle, but he also ate her! Disciple… I witnessed it with my own eyes! Myrtle’s flesh is near the Hundred Herbs Forest behind the mountain! Master Senior is there too!”
Who else could it be but Phoebe Chandler who said these words? After speaking, Phoebe Chandler, with a tearful voice, added, “Master Senior also said… he said… he wants you to personally go and meet him, to apologize for the incident when you expelled him from the sect all those years ago!”
Upon hearing this, Margaret Lovall’s face turned a deep shade of red. No, more precisely, it was a purplish-red color. It was evident how angry Margaret Lovall had become!
Never in a million years had she expected this. Her own Myrtle had not only been killed by Byron Ortega, but also eaten by him! And to make matters worse… it happened right at the crucial moment of the Pinkriver Temple’s initiation ceremony!
What was Byron Ortega planning? Margaret Lovall’s eyes burned with murderous intent. Finally, she spoke in a cold voice, “Fetch my sword!” With those words, the pale yellow girl kneeling in front of Margaret Lovall immediately bowed and tremblingly walked towards the gauze curtain.
Soon, she brought a phoenix-headed longsword in front of Margaret Lovall. Margaret Lovall gripped the sword and walked confidently towards the door. Her face was chilling to the extreme, filled with an aura of killing intent.
However, once outside the door, Margaret Lovall halted her steps. Suddenly, she took out a sachet from her waist, extracted a golden pill from it, crushed it, and swallowed it.
As the pill entered her stomach, not only did her killing intent surge, but her aura became even more formidable. Then, Margaret Lovall tossed the empty sachet to Phoebe Chandler beside her and commanded in a cold voice, “Take this sachet and go to the underground palace. Tell all the elders inside to gather at the Hundred Herb Forest!”
“But this matter must not be leaked, especially to anyone outside Pinkriver Temple. Anyone who violates this order will be killed without mercy!”
Without waiting for Phoebe Chandler’s response, Margaret Lovall moved her feet and dashed down the mountain like a purple streak of light. Inside the room, Monica Osborn, who was still kneeling, had an incredulous expression on her face.
She couldn’t believe it! The Purple Twin Python had been killed by Byron Ortega, a disgraced disciple of Emei Mountain? Should she report this to Jun Chester?
After all, it was a tremendous opportunity! Once Margaret Lovall and Byron Ortega clashed, they would both suffer losses! Then her master, Jun Chester, could reap the benefits.
Lost in her thoughts, Monica Osborn, still kneeling indoors, didn’t notice the stunning woman dressed in ancient-style robes behind a large tree near Pinkriver Temple. The woman’s face was also filled with disbelief.
This enchanting woman was Vita, whom Jun Chester had sent to accompany Monica Osborn. At this moment, she had naturally learned about the major event that had occurred. Vita’s mind went blank. She couldn’t believe it at all.
The Purple Twin Python had been killed and eaten by none other than her senior brother, Byron Ortega! Oh heavens! How could she be so unlucky?
She had thought that with Jun Chester’s support, she would quickly regain her former glory. She would restore her rightful position in Pinkriver Temple and lead Emei Mountain back to the pinnacle of the martial arts world.
But now it seemed that Pinkriver Temple was about to face an unprecedented catastrophe! The Purple Twin Python had been killed by Byron Ortega! Could Margaret Lovall let him get away with it?
Under such circumstances, they would undoubtedly engage in a fierce battle, each suffering great losses! But the problem was, what time was it now? Many forces in the martial arts world had already arrived at Emei Mountain!
At such a critical moment, if Margaret Lovall and Byron Ortega truly suffered losses, wouldn’t the other martial arts forces take advantage of the situation and destroy Emei Mountain?
Realizing this, Vita’s expression became extremely serious. This was a matter of great importance! She must inform Jun Chester of this immediately!
Only Jun Chester could turn the tide now! Otherwise, the future of Emei Mountain would be in jeopardy! However, Vita did not know that the person responsible for the current situation was not Byron Ortega, but…
Jun Chester!
At this moment, Jun Chester is in the Bai Cao Forest at the foot of the mountain, searching for the trace of Tian Luo Grass.
Byron Ortega is doing the same.
He follows behind Jun Chester like a servant.
Trying to help Jun Chester find all the Tian Luo Grass as soon as possible!
That way, he might receive Jun Chester’s “favor” and have python meat to eat!
Muriel Twitty and Jenny Chow are naturally helping Jun Chester in the search for Tian Luo Grass as well.
At this moment, they have already found three Tian Luo Grass plants.
But thirty plants are still out of reach!
While searching, Jun Chester suddenly asked Byron Ortega behind him.
“How can we enter the underground palace of Pinkriver Temple?”
Byron Ortega gave a bitter smile.
“We can’t enter.”
Jun Chester was puzzled.
“Haven’t you been inside before?”
Byron Ortega replied with a bitter laugh.
“That was in the past. I used to be the senior brother of Pinkriver Temple, so naturally I could enter the underground palace. But now, without the token, there’s no way to get in.”
Jun Chester hesitated for a moment, then took out a token from his pocket and asked.
“With this token, can I enter the underground palace of Pinkriver Temple?”
The token in Jun Chester’s hand was precisely the deputy master token of Pinkriver Temple he took from Brigham Burgess.
It was completely golden!
There were four intricate seal characters on it!
Emei Yixian!
Upon seeing this token, Byron Ortega was slightly stunned and blurted out with a dumbfounded expression.
“You… How do you have the deputy master’s token of Pinkriver Temple?”
Jun Chester didn’t answer but asked again.
“I’m asking you, can I enter the underground palace of Pinkriver Temple with this token?”
Byron Ortega replied.
“You can.”
Jun Chester breathed a sigh of relief and asked another question.
“How do we get to the underground palace of Pinkriver Temple?”
For some reason, when Byron Ortega heard this question, a strange expression flashed across his face. He smirked and said.
“You have to go to Margaret Lovall’s chamber!”
Jun Chester snorted.
“How old is Margaret Lovall? She still has a chamber!”
Just as Byron Ortega was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, Jun Chester’s eyebrows also furrowed slightly.
And in that instant, Byron Ortega disappeared from his original spot, and where he landed was already a hundred meters away!
As for the reason behind Byron Ortega’s behavior…
It was a sword that came tearing through the air!
The sword was as fast as a rainbow!
Sharp to the extreme!
Its name…
The Yixian Phoenix Head!
Wherever the long sword went, dozens of century-old trees collapsed!
But before the sword could continue its path, a purple figure chased after it!
After grabbing hold of the long sword, without saying a word, the purple figure continued to chase after Byron Ortega!
In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Byron Ortega.
The sword was held horizontally against Byron Ortega’s neck.
The owner of this sword, Margaret Lovall, then spoke coldly.
“Myrtle, is it really you who killed her?”
Byron Ortega widened his eyes.
He never expected Margaret Lovall, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, to have reached such a terrifying level!
Without even a chance to exchange words, she placed her sword against his throat.
Damn it!
How did this woman reach such a level?
However, despite his surprise, Byron Ortega showed no signs of fear on his face. Instead, he laughed and said to Margaret Lovall.
“Junior sister, you’ve gained some weight.”
Margaret Lovall’s eyes emitted a cold light. She suddenly shook the sword blade, intending to cleave Byron Ortega’s head.
But just at that moment, a young man’s voice came from behind Margaret Lovall.
“Are you Margaret Lovall?”
