Carvelyn gasped in disbelief.
Even though she deeply doubted in her heart that Angel could possess such power, she could feel that she and Angel were on the same level, and she even held the Shepherd God Outer Garb, yet she was still surpassed by so much. How could she believe it? But the facts were in front of her, and Angel had already admitted it, so she had no choice but to believe.
Carvelyn shook her head, her Illusory Butterfly Garb fading away, turning back into the original Divine Garb.
“No wonder you’re the disciple of the Phantom Master.” Carvelyn could only comfort herself with sourness in her heart, attributing Angel’s great strength to having a good Mentor.
Before the battle, they had already placed Angel’s strength at a very high level, but they still felt that if they used their trump cards, they should be able to beat Angel.
Little did they know that they had underestimated Angel’s strength in the end.
Although they hadn’t revealed their trump cards yet, with Angel’s speed and the powerful attack that shattered the Reaper Skeleton in front of them, they knew that even if they used their trump cards, victory would be impossible.
Thinking of this, Carvelyn’s face turned bitter as she helped Sunisha up.
“We admit defeat. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you,” Carvelyn volunteered.
As Carvelyn’s words fell, Sunisha took out two scrolls from her necklace space.
“I know we can’t beat you, but if we want to leave, you can’t stop us. Why don’t you get the information you want, and then we’ll both go our separate ways?” Sunisha’s mouth still had traces of blood, and her eyes were filled with deep fear as she looked at Angel. She knew the terror of the Reaper Skeleton even more than Carvelyn. It was undoubtedly one of the most powerful allies she could currently summon.
Just one strike and it shattered. It was too powerful, so powerful that she couldn’t even muster the will to resist.
Sunisha steadied her breath, revealing the two scrolls in her hands.
Angel’s eyebrows furrowed, and then she exchanged glances with Coral and Cherie. The two scrolls in her hands were faintly glowing with a very familiar light.
Teleportation scrolls.
This was the second time they had seen teleportation scrolls today.
Angel narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be that the majority of elite apprentices had teleportation scrolls? Were these their Mentors’ life-saving charms? Angel suddenly recalled Sanders… when he left the mansion to go to the Purification Garden, he had specifically gone to the study to find Sanders, hoping to get some life-saving items. However, Sanders hadn’t even seen him and had sent him away directly through the study door.
Angel sighed. It wouldn’t be easy to keep them with a teleportation scroll, and he wasn’t sure if he could hold them back… Angel’s previous rescue seemed effortless, saving Cherie in a blink and killing the Reaper Skeleton along the way. But only he knew how much it took to kill the Reaper Skeleton, nearly depleting his source of Gravity.
The Reaper Skeleton hid in its soul form, and Angel’s soul could attack it. However, it was powerful enough that Angel almost emptied his gravity source to kill it completely.
With this in mind, Angel made a decision. He nodded with a grin and took out a dark butterfly necklace from his bracelet.
“Since I crafted your necklace, I’ll let you,” Angel found a reason to let her go.
Sunisha’s eyes narrowed, looking at the black butterfly heart in Angel’s hand, then at her own Pink Butterfly Heart, her expression shocked.
Although she wasn’t sure if what Angel said was true, the black butterfly heart and her pink one belonged to the same series. And Angel had no reason to deceive her.
Thinking about this, Sunisha forced a smile: “I really like this Pink Butterfly Heart. I didn’t expect it to be crafted by you. It seems we have a strong connection. If that’s the case, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
Cherie glanced at Angel and the necklace but said nothing, reverting from her beast form to a young girl.
Even if she had the choice, she would accept this one. The family behind Carvelyn was too terrifying—a family closely related to the abyssal demons. Even the Shepherd God Divine Outfit was imbued with the essence of demonic gods!
No matter how reckless Cherie was, she didn’t dare to offend this family.
Angel was unaware of these details. Seeing that Cherie and Coral had no objections, he asked directly: “Where did Hilary go? The apprentice who confronted you at the Golden Palace.”
“You mean the girl with the blue curls? She’s not much to look at; I didn’t expect her to catch your attention.” Sunisha paused, and as Angel’s eyes flickered, she quickly continued: “She fell asleep during the fight, so we captured her and took her to Jiebo.”
“A descendant of the Shepherd God Family is actually after Jiebo’s bounty,” Cherie said coldly.
Carvelyn glanced at Cherie and said: “Why shouldn’t I take something useful for me? Like you, if someone used the True Path Meditation Lamp Source Fire to post a simple bounty, wouldn’t you accept it?”
Carvelyn’s counter-question left Cherie speechless. If such a good opportunity really existed, she would be happy to take it.
“I don’t know why Jiebo wants that woman so badly, but since it won’t take much time, I might as well do it.”
Angel continued to ask: “Where is Jiebo?”
Sunisha took out a bluish scale, like a water droplet, from the Pink Butterfly Heart and threw it directly.
Angel didn’t catch it, instead, Coral directed Gank to receive the scale.
“This is the scale of Jiebo’s Unicorn Abyssal Whale. You can find Jiebo by following this scale,” Sunisha paused: “I originally kept this scale, thinking that one day I could threaten Jiebo in return. Since you want to find Jiebo, I’ll give it to you.”
Gank handed the scale to Luna, who sniffed it, and the strong pheromones lingered. Luna nodded to Cherie, confirming that they had found their target.
“Alright, one last question. Have you seen her?” Angel used an illusion to depict the appearance of Nausica.
“So your target is this woman,” Sunisha looked deeply at Angel and then pointed to Coral: “After they left the palace, we hadn’t seen them.”
Angel was a bit disappointed but didn’t say anything else.
Since they had finished asking questions, Sunisha and Carvelyn turned and left. Before leaving, Sunisha smiled at Angel: “I really like the Pink Butterfly Heart, but I bought it at an auction. I hope I can have the honor of having you create a custom piece for me next time.”
With that, the two disappeared from sight.
“They really got lucky!” Coral said angrily.
“The Shepherd God Family…” Cherie whispered, turning to leave: “Let’s go.”
Luna led the way again, and they followed Luna, moving quickly.
“What is the Shepherd God Family?” Angel asked curiously during their pursuit.
Cherie shook her head and whispered: “A family closely related to the abyssal demons. It’s better not to mess with them. Only legendary power can resist the demonic power.”
Most matters concerning demons were not openly discussed among witches, and Cherie was no exception. She only spoke this sentence and said nothing more.
Angel also understood some things about the demons, and didn’t expect that the Shepherd God Family had such a connection. If it really had something to do with the demons, why would the wizarding world still tolerate this family?
Angel thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, as it was clearly beyond his level of understanding.
After chasing for nearly a hundred miles, Cherie suddenly asked: “After finding Jiebo, you don’t have to worry about me. Save Hilary and take her away, I will deal with Jiebo on my own.”
Cherie’s meaning was clear; she didn’t want Angel to offend Jiebo. No matter how much she hated Jiebo, it had to be said that the Sea God and the Song of the Deep Sea behind Jiebo were not forces anyone could afford to offend right now.
Angel understood Cherie’s meaning, but instead of answering directly, he asked back: “Although I don’t know why Jiebo is determined to catch Hilary, if he dares to offer a reward that even the Shepherd God Family is willing to bite, do you think he would easily hand over Hilary? Even if I save Hilary, do you think I won’t offend Jiebo?”
The answer was obvious: as long as Angel intended to save Hilary, he would inevitably offend Jiebo. Since he was going to offend Jiebo, why bother worrying about it?
Furthermore, although there were powerful forces behind Jiebo, was Angel’s backing just a small country?
So, in fact, Angel was not afraid of Jiebo.
Cherie fell silent, and in the end, she just said indifferently: “As you wish.”
Cherie looked at Luna, then looked at the unknown darkness ahead, her eyes devoid of fear but filled with strange excitement and eagerness.
Angel looked at Coral, who had been lost in thought.
“I’ve never understood what’s going on between Hilary and Jiebo. Why did you provoke Jiebo, and why does Jiebo have such a strong desire to catch Hilary?” Angel asked: “What happened in between?”
Angel just wanted to understand the specific situation, but Coral’s gaze wandered for a while, making Angel a little curious.
“Actually… I don’t know either.” Coral finally spoke: “I told you that Hilary seriously injured Jiebo, and that’s true. But why Hilary attacked Jiebo, I don’t know, and when I asked her, she said she didn’t know either.”
“Hilary doesn’t know either?” Angel was full of question marks. According to Coral’s words, Jiebo might even be innocent?
Coral lowered her head: “Every time Hilary sees Jiebo, she suddenly changes, becoming unlike herself. This makes me and Nausica very confused, but as long as we stay away from Jiebo, she returns to normal. When asked why she acts like this, she also looks puzzled.”
