The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2489

“Really though, as I said before, devils nowadays are much stronger than deities… No wonder your grandfather wanted to pursue devilish cultivation so much! ” added Finnley as he shook his head with a helpless smile.

“From all that you’ve said, I guess tonight really is going to be an unusual one.. I wonder what we’ll have to face…” muttered Gerald.

“I wonder as well. We’ll just have to wait and see.. That aside, don’t be afraid, Gerald. Remember, if you want to even have a chance of entering the Deitus Realm, you’ll ultimately have to enter the general’s tomb,” replied Finnley in an encouraging tone, not wanting Gerald to chicken out at the last moment.

Gerald, however, wasn’t really afraid of dying. After all, he had already undergone a near- death experience once back in Fyre Cave.

Even so, he felt that if he were to die in the tomb and have his soul vanquished, it’d be a complete shame, especially after he had cultivated for this long. That thought alone was making him wonder whether entering the Deitus Realm was really worth all this trouble. It didn’t help that Finnley had told him about the headless general’s backstory.

Despite having entered the Ziyiryon Realm and having near, unparalleled powers beyond the three realms, the headless general had still wanted to get stronger.

In the process of getting to the Xenqhos Realm, the headless general ultimately died to a mere mortal… Not only did he lose all his cultivation, but he was also decapitated, which finally led to him turning into a devil!

With all that in mind, Gerald would be lying if he claimed that he wasn’t worried of such a fate befalling him.

Still, in the end, Gerald took a deep breath before nodding as he said, “1 understand, Finnley”

Following that, he and Finnley began practicing the Coronal Decem Charm…

It was around eleven that night when Gerald who had still been cultivating suddenly heard the faint sound of beating drums in the distance.

Opening his eyes, the vigilant boy then turned to face the source of the drum beating.

However, when he saw that Finnley remained cultivating with his eyes closed, Gerald couldn’t help but mumble to himself, “Could I be hearing wrong… ?”

In the end, Gerald decided to walk outside. Looking around, nobody seemed to have left their houses, and all Gerald was greeted to was the occasional gusts of wind… However, it didn’t take long for Gerald to notice that Yusra had walked out as well.

Upon noticing him, Yusra walked toward the boy before asking, “Did you hear that as well, Mr. Crawford?”

After nodding in response, Gerald watched as Hauk who had a whisk in hand came out as well before saying, “How strange.. Even if regular ghosts were to notice us, they’d most probably be too afraid to come close… With that said, I wonder who’s daring enough to beat those drums.”

“It’s clearly a sign that our guests aren’t ordinary ghosts, then… Regardless, we’ve been discovered!” muttered Master Greendrake as he and several others began walking out as well. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

It was at that moment when one of the cultivators pointed toward the sky while asking, “Hey, what’s that over there?”

Hearing that, everyone was prompted to look in the direction he was pointing at.
