Chapter 1180: Chapter 654: Nine Directions Chapter 1180: Chapter 654: Nine Directions Immediately following, Logan’s gaze swept over the old man in front of him like a searchlight, detailed and meticulous, a mix of surprise and sudden realization in his eyes. A playful smile curled at the edges of his mouth as he muttered to himself, “After all that, he’d just been watching the whole show from outside, and here I thought he had come to the rescue!”

“Senior, you can’t do me like this!” Logan said, feigning distress with a hint of teasing in his tone, yet without losing sincerity, “If you’d told me earlier how dangerous that person was, I wouldn’t have gone after that damn Inheritance, almost lost my life over it!”

Hearing this, the old man coughed lightly, a flicker of embarrassment crossing his eyes. He truly hadn’t expected his momentary oversight to put Logan in such peril. He gently patted Logan’s shoulder with a measure of apology and determination in his voice, “You believe me, I’m definitely able to help you. This incident, indeed, I hadn’t foreseen–something escaped from the flower sea and upset my original plan.”

At this point, the old man paused, seemingly recalling the scene at that time. He let out a sigh and continued, “I initially thought that the Seal was stable enough, but I hadn’t anticipated that the Evil Cultivator would be so cunning as to find a way to break the Seal. However, rest assured, now that I’m here, I’ll definitely help you resolve this issue.”

Listening to the old man’s explanation, the resentment in Logan’s heart dissipated considerably. He knew the old man hadn’t meant to betray him; it was just that the situation had developed beyond anyone’s expectations. He nodded in understanding, yet his face still bore some worry, “Senior, I know your strength, but those Evil Cultivators are no pushovers. They’ve managed to escape once; they might have even more cunning tricks up their sleeves next time. We need to come up with a foolproof plan to ensure safety.”

The old man nodded in agreement upon hearing this. He pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, “You’re right, we can’t take this lightly. The pressing matter is for you to protect yourself and absolutely prevent any mishaps. I’ll reinforce the Seal to make sure the Evil Cultivators can’t escape again. At the same time, I’ll teach you some Secret Techniques for self-defense so you can protect yourself when faced with danger.”

A warm current surged in Logan’s heart as he listened to the old man; he knew the old man truly cared for him and wanted to help him overcome this hurdle. He looked at the old man gratefully, nodding to show he would work hard to learn and not let the old man down.

“Senior, thank you. I know this ordeal is troublesome, but with you by my side, I have the confidence that we can resolve it,” Logan said earnestly.

Looking at Logan’s determined eyes, the old man felt a sense of gratification. He knew this young man possessed remarkable potential and perseverance; given enough time and opportunity, he would surely grow into a formidable Strong One. Thus, he patted Logan on the shoulder, encouragingly, “Good lad, I believe you certainly can do it. Let’s work together to combat the Evil Cultivators and protect the peace and tranquility of The World.”

With those words, they exchanged a smile, as if all the difficulties and challenges suddenly turned trivial. Side by side, they stood amidst the flower sea, facing the unknown future with confidence and determination.

“And, we must deal with that Divine Level Evil Cultivator, ensuring there’s not the slightest chance of its revival.” The old man’s words carried an undeniable firmness, his gaze piercing, as if able to see through all evil. Having said that, he gave a fierce push, propelling Logan away from the heart of the flower sea, right where the body of the Evil Cultivator lay, and where the Demonic Qi was the densest.

Caught off guard by the sudden push, Logan staggered back involuntarily, his mind filled with confusion and bewilderment. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the old man turn around, his hands forming Seals, and begin to chant an ancient Spell, appearing to prepare some powerful Spell. Logan then realized the old man wasn’t there to save him but had a more important task at hand.

He stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, watching the old man’s retreating back, a whirlwind of emotions in his heart. It was then he suddenly felt a strong force erupting from within him, a power he had never experienced before. His body began to emanate a white light, pure and intense, as if it could purify all evil.

The Demonic Qi released by the Evil Cultivator shrank back upon encountering this white light, as if facing a natural enemy. Logan felt as though an invisible shield enveloped him, the Demonic Qi no longer able to corrupt his mind or harm his body.

Several Sect Disciples stood at a distance, their faces pale and mouths agape wide enough to swallow an egg. They had not expected the situation to escalate to this degree. They had come to uncover the secrets within the flower sea but had never anticipated stirring up such a monstrous calamity.

“Now, we’re done for,” a Sect Disciple said with a trembling voice, “Having caused such a disaster and putting someone from the Mystical Sect at risk, whatever shall we do?”

“Yeah, what should we do?” another disciple echoed, fear and despair reflected in his eyes.

“The Evil Cultivator actually has the power to control minds; this I had not considered,” a Sect Elder sighed, “Had I known this, I would have been more vigilant in dealing with him. After all, the power unleashed by an Evil Cultivator’s corpse across the entire Mystical Sect is unimaginable and incalculable.”
