Chapter 214 Chief Of The Wu Du Sect

Chapter 214 Chief of the Wu Du Sect

"First, on behalf of Tyren, I apologize to you, Commander Gardner!" The bearded man bowed again. "Please rest assured, Commander Gardner. We will give you an explanation for this matter."

"Is that so?" Billy spoke calmly. "What kind of explanation are you planning to give me?"

"Commander Gardner, this matter is most likely the doing of the Wu Du Sect. Our ruler has already sent orders for their sect master to come to the capital," the bearded man responded. "If it's convenient for you, please come to the capital. Our ruler wants to apologize to you in person!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"The Wu Du Sect?" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes!" The bearded man took a deep breath and replied.

"Then let's go meet them!" Billy smiled faintly, then gestured to the three thousand members of the Army of Bloodshadow, "All of you, stay put!"

"Yes, Commander!" The three thousand soldiers shouted in unison.

Ten minutes later, Billy and his team got into a special VIP car from Tyren and headed towards the capital.

Tyren was relatively small in size, so in less than three hours, the car reached the city gates of the capital. A broad road led straight to Tyren' imperial palace. Along the way, a red carpet was laid out, and banners fluttered in the wind. On both sides of the road, guards stood at intervals, fully armed Warriors saluting as they passed, and tens of thousands of citizens cheered with flowers in their hands.

That was a standard state ceremony.

Before long, the car entered the palace gates and arrived at the magnificent and grand palace complex. It finally stopped about a hundred meters away from the entrance to the main hall.

With the guidance of the bearded man, they entered the main hall. Inside, a man in his sixties sat on a golden throne. He was the ruler of Tyren, Hunting.

Ten other high-ranking officials of Tyren stood in the center of the hall. Their expressions were solemn, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes as they looked at Billy.

"Commander Gardner, please accept my humble welcome. It is my fault to have not welcomed you from a great distance. I ask for your forgiveness." Hunting descended from his throne with a tone of humility.

"Your Majesty, it's nice to see you again!" Billy spoke calmly.

Over a year ago, the two had already met once, so they were not strangers.

"Commander Gardner, please take a seat

Hunting gestured graciously, leading Billy to sit on two gleaming golden chairs on the right side. Vermilion Bird and the other three stood behind them.

"Commander Gardner, first of all, I apologize for this incident. I deeply regret it." Hunting turned his gaze to Billy and spoke.

"Your Majesty, let's get to the point. I didn't come here today to catch up with you!" Billy picked up a tea cup from the side and took a sip. He had already tasted Tyren' national tea during his previous visit, and it was quite good.

"Bring forth the Sect Master of the Wu Du Sect, Angus Rizzo!" Hunting took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the Sect Master of the Wu Du Sect, Angus Rizzo!" A loud voice echoed in the hall.

Two minutes later, a man in his fifties entered the hall, escorted by two Warriors. He had a slightly thin build, sharp eyes, and a faint aura of coldness emanating from him.

"Your Majesty," Angus began.

The middle-aged man walked to the center of the hall and glanced at Billy before bowing to Hunting.

In Tyren, there was no custom of kneeling, and bows were the way to show respect between monarchs and subjects.

"Angus Rizzo, are you aware of your crimes?" Hunting spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please forgive this humble one's ignorance. I'm not sure what matter the ruler is referring to," Angus poke after a brief moment of surprise.

A few hours ago, he had received the ruler's order to come to the palace, stating that the ruler had an important matter to discuss with him. Upon receiving the order, he already had his suspicions. He hadn't been able to contact the individuals he sent to Glavale since last night, and he had a feeling that things weren't looking good. Now that the ruler had summoned him, he had no doubt it was about this matter. However, he remained calm and composed, with no intention of panicking or attempting to escape. Accompanied by the imperial guards, he made his way to the capital.

Upon entering the hall and seeing Billy's group of Glavale people, his suspicions were confirmed. Nevertheless, he remained unfazed.

This was the imperial palace of Tyren, and there were only five people from the opposing side. What kind of storm could they cause?

"Are you still pretending to be foolish?" Hunting's tone grew heavier. "Do you dare say that the group that attempted to assassinate Commander Gardner in Glavale wasn't from your Wu Du Sect?"

"Ah?" Angus Rizzo feigned surprise. "Your Majesty, this is not a matter to joke about. It's a capital offense!"

"I swear to you, Your Majesty, the Wu Du Sect had absolutely no involvement in this matter. In the past month, all disciples of the Wu Du Sect have been practicing in our sect, preparing for the upcoming martial competition next month..."

"You scoundrel! Even when facing death, you still want to argue!" Hunting's stern voice cut off his words. The aura of a monarch emanated from him.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Commander Gardner has been poisoned by Erosive Flower Toxin! Tell me, in the entire Tyren, besides your Wu Du Sect, who else has the ability to refine the deadly toxin of this flower toxin into a colorless and tasteless poison?"

"Your Majesty, if you conclude that the Wu Du Sect is responsible based solely on this, then you are being overly presumptuous and giving our Wu Du Sect too much credit!" Angus Rizzo responded with a slightly furrowed brow.

"While the Wu Du Sect is adept at poison-making, Erosive Flower Toxin, a rare deadly poison, is something I've only heard of and never encountered. Let alone refining the poison from it! There are countless strange abilities and talents among the people in Tyren. It's not entirely impossible that some hidden experts have the ability to refine the poison from Erosive Flower!"

"You're quite adept at arguing!" Stout spoke up at this moment.

"However, do you know that your aura has already betrayed you? Although the poison can be refined into a colorless and tasteless toxin after undergoing the forty-nine-step process... The Erosive Flower itself has a distinct and unique aroma. Anyone who comes into contact with it will carry that scent on them for a month. From the moment you entered this hall, I've been able to smell that aroma on you. And now you're telling us that you've never seen Erosive Flowers?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Angus Rizzo's eyes flickered with surprise.

Clearly, he hadn't anticipated that there were experts present who not only knew about the unique aroma of Erosive Flowers but also knew about its forty-nine-step process. He had truly underestimated the situation.

After a slight pause, Angus took a deep breath before continuing in a low voice, "Who are you to make baseless accusations? A mere youngster with barely any facial hair, and yet you spout such nonsense here! Who told you that Erosive Flowers had a unique scent? That's utterly ridiculous! I bet you don't even know what the flower is, do you?"

"Let me introduce his identity to you!" Billy's voice rang out in a calm tone. "He is the chief medical advisor of the Army of Bloodshadow's medical team. Besides, he is one of the two greatest geniuses in Glavale's mystic sect in the last few hundred years!"

"Although Erosive Flower Toxin is a deadly poison, it is also a type of medicinal herb. Glavale's medicine stores always have it in stock!"

"Now, you tell me, does he know what Erosive Flowers are?"
