The Man’s Decree

“Fellow cultivators, we are all alchemists here. I hope you can be mindful when speaking. If any of you can cure my granddaughter, I will surely repay you for it. If you can’t, I’d appreciate it if you’d leave instead of spouting nonsense here!”

The elderly man’s face went as black as thunder.

He could not possibly remain unperturbed when someone insulted his granddaughter in such a manner.

“Get out of the way! Move…”

At just that moment, five burly men pushed through the crowd and made their way to the center.

“Who is so impressive, ordering us to steer clear?”

“Whoa! Isn’t that the Five Fighters of South Neighborhood? I’d better keep my distance.”

“What are these five guys doing here? They’re not alchemists. Nor do they know how to treat illnesses.”

“Who knows? Just don’t offend them.”

Everyone quickly cleared a path for the five burly men.

The elderly man’s expression also changed subtly when he noticed the sudden appearance of five burly men. Quickly packing up his stall, he grabbed his granddaughter to leave.

Anyone who had spent some time on Medicine God Island knew of the Five Fighters of South Neighborhood.

The five men were engaged in every form of wickedness and weren’t alchemists at all yet managed to thrive on Medicine God Island.

It was for no other reason than the presence of many cultivators who were not alchemists on Medicine God Island. They were all arranged to reside in the South Neighborhood.

The Five Fighters of South Neighborhood, on the other hand, controlled the entire South Neighborhood with their capabilities.

Nevertheless, they were perceptive and didn’t dare to offend the Laurent family. On the contrary, they contributed significantly to the management of Medicine God Island on behalf of the Laurent family. As a result, not only were they not banished from the island, but they were appreciated by the island president instead.

With that, they became even more brazen, running roughshod over Medicine God Island.

However, they only dared bully wandering cultivators who were new to Medicine God Island. As for the original inhabitants of Medicine God Island and those associated with the Laurent family, they didn’t dare to mess with them at all.

“Why are you leaving as soon as you see us, geezer? Weren’t you seeking help to cure your granddaughter’s illness? We can help!” Ace, the leader of the Five Fighters of South Neighborhood, said as he seized the elderly man directly.

“You’re not alchemists, so how could you possibly cure my granddaughter? We’re not interested anymore!”

The elderly man shook his head. He attempted to struggle but found himself completely unable to break free from Ace’s grip.

“We’re not alchemists, but we know plenty of them. I can help you find one to treat your granddaughter’s illness,” Ace offered with a wicked grin on his face.

“What exactly do you want?” the elderly man asked, forcefully suppressing his anger.

“You’re asking the obvious, geezer. Naturally, we want your granddaughter to spend some time with us. I discerned long ago that your granddaughter is far from innocent, so just drop the act,” Ace said with a laugh.

“Haha… It’s already good enough that we don’t mind. She’s just used goods. What’s the point of acting pure?”

The other members of the Five Fighters of South Neighborhood burst into hearty laughter.

The elderly man was furious, downright enraged, his eyes blazing scarlet.

“I’m going all out with you five monsters!”

With a roar, the elderly man shot his hand out at Ace.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Ace was momentarily stunned. Then, he suddenly unleashed a burst of spiritual energy. Like a tidal wave, it sent the elderly man flying right away.

At that very moment, a figure instantly leaped into the air and caught the elderly man.

“Are you okay, Old Mr. Giuvali?” Jared asked softly after catching the elderly man.

It turned out that the elderly man was Misho, who went to Demonia Mountain with Jared, and the girl was his granddaughter, Izolda.

After Izolda was violated on the Celestial Battlefield, Misho left with his granddaughter.

But never had he expected them to have come to Medicine God Island.

“M-Mr. Chance…”

At the sight of Jared, tears instantly streaked down Misho’s weathered face.

Looking at him, Jared also felt deeply moved. It had only been a short time since they parted ways, but the man seemed to have aged significantly.

Then, there was Izolda, who was once a bubbly girl. Yet, she seemed unhinged right then, muttering to herself, her eyes vacant.
