Chapter 168: The Spirit Cloth Hermitage

Byrne took a deep breath.

Almost from the beginning, Viscount Best had told him that this was a mutually beneficial transaction, that he had never deceived him at all, and that the Lion Family had indeed helped the Fisher Family a lot.

Without the help of the Lion Family, the Fisher Family would never have achieved its current development, and everyone knows this.

He also understood the other party's urgency. Even though there was no urgency in Viscount Best's tone just now, there were so many people waiting here, how could he not open the door? That would undoubtedly offend everyone.

"Mr. Best, how could I not repay your kindness to the Fisher family?"

He took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, then turned to look at Viscount Best, his eyes full of determination.

"Please tell me what to do."

Viscount Best nodded slightly and said calmly: "It's very simple. You just need to come to the gate of the palace, stretch out your hand and push it up, and then don't move."

"No matter what happens, don't move, trust me!"

He paused and continued:

"Your destiny is the 'Treasure Key'. You may not know the mysterious knowledge about destiny yet, but I want to make it clear that the 'Treasure Key' is a very important destiny. Whether it is breaking through various forms of difficulties or performing well at critical moments, it will be much easier for you than ordinary people."

"And in the spirit world, your 'key' of destiny is further materialized, and can consume lifespan to exert its true effect... It opens all doors at the cost of lifespan."

Is your destiny the 'treasure key'?

Byrne thought carefully about everything he had experienced in the past, and it seemed to be true. Every time he encountered various difficulties and bottlenecks, he was always able to break through them successfully with relative ease.

It turns out that this is the special thing in my destiny.

"I see."

He nodded slowly, walked to the majestic palace built of amethyst, slowly stretched out his hand, and tried to push open the door of the amethyst palace.

Suddenly, Byrne felt a strong attraction emerging from the palace gate, and something in him seemed to be slowly fading away.

The feeling was so terrifying that Byrne subconsciously wanted to step back.

But he recalled what Viscount Best had just said and resisted the urge to step back.

A hint of white gradually appeared in Byrne's hair, and his temples gradually turned gray. His life span was lost year after year, and gradually more than ten years of his life span was absorbed by the Amethyst Palace.

"squeak!"

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the gate of the majestic Amethyst Palace slowly opened!

Finally the suction disappeared.

"Success..."

Byrne loosened his hands and knelt on one knee. He felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if his most fundamental strength had been drained away by an invisible object.

Then, a strong old hand gently pulled him up.

"Come on, Bayern Fischer! Our hero, stand up!"

Viscount Best smiled and slowly pulled Byrne, who was kneeling on one knee, up, with a very kind look in his eyes.

Byrne let out a weak sigh, and suddenly felt relieved deep in his heart. He was finally sure of one thing.

Even if he was no longer useful, Viscount Best's preferential treatment of him and the Fisher family would not change.

Although their relationship had been one of mutual exploitation from the beginning, Byrne now vaguely felt that Viscount Best had some real feelings for him deep in his heart.

When people enter the palace gate, they come to a huge hall supported by purple crystal columns. Flickering crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the hall, refracting charming purple light and shadow to every corner.

The interior of the palace is decorated with purple crystals, which looks gorgeous and mysterious. The walls are inlaid with amethysts of various shapes, full of unpredictable light.

People discovered that at its center was an amethyst throne that seemed to have infinite power. It was so gorgeous and majestic that people dared not stare at it for too long.

"We're here. This palace in the spirit world looks really sacred and extraordinary! Do they really belong to no one? Are there people living there?"

"There are paths going down on both sides of the hall. Which side should we go?"

All the extraordinary people were filled with excitement, as it was the first time for them to come to the legendary spiritual palace. It was said that in each spiritual palace there was a lot of forbidden knowledge and spiritual treasures, and obtaining just one or two of them would undoubtedly be a huge gain!

Viscount Best stared deeply at the amethyst throne and muttered to himself.

"This is the palace."

"I've been planning this for so many years, and I'm finally here... It's so great, haha."

He suddenly reached out and grasped Byrne's shoulders.

"Thank you, Byrne. Now we have to do something before we move on."

"Um?"

Byrne immediately noticed that something was wrong with Viscount Best's eyes, which were filled with a fierceness that had never existed before.

Then, Viscount Best slowly turned around and looked at the dozen or so extraordinary people present.

His eyes were so cold that everyone felt a chill rising from deep within their hearts.

People discovered that even though they were all extraordinary beings who had undergone a qualitative change or were in the transformation period, no one had as terrifying aura as Viscount Best!

Except for Best's two younger brothers, everyone else's faces changed.

Although there were more than a dozen qualitatively transformed extraordinary people present, they felt as if they were collectively surrounded by Viscount Best and did not dare to move.

The white-haired old man sneered and then said loudly:

"Some of you have betrayed me, discarded your pitiful self-respect, and vilely joined Xavier, Viscount Black Hawk of the Eagle Family!"

"I cannot forgive betrayal, and I will judge the traitors among you here!"

——

In another place in the spirit world, on a spirit island.

A team of extraordinary people are searching for the Gate of Nature. They use the "path divination" in the prophecy spell to find the Gate of Nature, but their efficiency is much lower than that of Viscount Best's magic pointer.

The female transcendent asked:

"Nature, Order, Authority, after passing through these three doors, can we reach the Amethyst Palace?"

Another extraordinary person in a dark blue robe, who was the leader of the group, shook his head slowly and said calmly: "No, it's not that simple at all."

“Even if we pass through all three doors, there is only a 30% chance of us arriving there in the end.

"But according to the prophecy spell, today's star sign changes to 'Wolf Division'. It is undoubtedly the most suitable day to go to the palace in the past few decades."

"So, we must seize today's time."

This team of five extraordinary people are a subordinate organization of the "Tree of Essence", the top secret organization spread throughout the world of Krad. They are mainly active in the "Spirit Clothes Hermitage" of the Qiyao Empire and the Loen Empire.

A middle-aged man wearing a blue robe, with short flat hair, six symmetrical lines painted on his face, and blue flames bursting out of his eyes from time to time.

The man is the deputy leader of the Lingyi Hermitage, and possesses the strength level of a monarch. Even in the two great empires of Qiyao and Loen, he is considered a strong man who cannot be underestimated.

The Soul Cloth Hermitage is a very evil secret organization. They were established only a dozen years ago, and their members are all illegal supernatural beings and traitors to the church.

Their leader, the "Spirit Clothes Sage", obtained a horrifying forbidden knowledge, "Spirit Clothes Making", from the spirit world more than a decade ago.

The members of the Spirit Clothes Hermitage have also learned the forbidden knowledge taught by their leader, the "Spirit Clothes Sage", and gained the terrifying power to turn souls into spirit clothes for their own use, the "Spirit Clothes Making".

By activating different "spiritual clothes", they can transform into the appearance of the deceased when he was alive, and even exert the strongest supernatural power that the deceased possessed when he was alive.

Although the levels of those extraordinary powers will be greatly attenuated, and the "Spirit Clothes" also have a durability limit on the number of times they can be used, the "Spirit Clothes" are still a very terrifying forbidden knowledge!

They are very active in Loen and Qiyao, and have long been the target of severe crackdowns by the two empires and several major churches.

Among the five members of the Lingyi Hermitage, a bald member suddenly looked at the deputy leader and asked:

"Speaking of which, since today is the most suitable day to go to that palace in decades, and there are so many people in the world of Krad who are involved in the spirit world, is it possible that there are others who also know of its existence and arrive there on the same day?"

“That’s a real possibility.”

The deputy leader did not deny it, but shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"It doesn't matter. If we encounter other competitors, we can just kill them all."
