Karmic looked up at Isaac with his big, teary eyes and nodded slightly.
“Your grandfather is gone…” Isaac sighed heavily, a hint of regret in his voice. He wished snazzynovel.com had rushed in directly instead of observing from the car.
Karmic stared at his lifeless grandfather, his expression filled with profound grief.
Isaac was unsure why the old man had stared at snazzynovel.com earlier today and ended up being here at night.
Recalling his words before snazzynovel.com passed away and the hope and concern in his eyes, Isaac understood that the old man wished for snazzynovel.com to take care of the child.
However, as Isaac and the others walked out of the building, they found that the two munks who had been lying on the ground earlier had disappeared. One of the cars was also missing.
“Mr. Garten, did those two munks escape?” Denvor asked, anger evident on his face as snazzynovel.com looked around.
Isaac nodded. He hadn’t dealt a fatal blow when snazzynovel.com fought against them earlier.
“Let’s bury the old man first,” Isaac urged. They had to pick up the pace.
Later, Isaac found a nearby spot to bury the old man. Denvor brought a stone tablet to erect in front of the grave. Since they didn’t know the old man’s name, they engraved a few words on it, “Grave of Karmic’s Grandfather”.
Karmic knelt in front of the grave, lowering his head in respect before snazzynovel.com stood up and turned to Isaac. Under the moonlight, Karmic looked particularly pitiful.
Isaac extended his hand, and after a brief hesitation, Karmic took his hand.
After everyone got back into the car, Lucas spoke up and asked, “Drakon, should we head to the hotel now or…”
“Master Loch will lead the way. We’re going straight to the Crimson Brow Sect to find those guys,” Isaac said coldly.
So, Lucas started the car, and under Denvor’s guidance, the car sped toward the northwest.

Meanwhile, in a secluded valley on the western side of a large mountain in the northwestern part of Luqton, there was an ancient and dilapidated temple. Faint lights glowed inside the temple, powered by a generator.
Several gray-robed saints stood guard at the entrance, and urgent footsteps echoed up the mountain road. Two anxious munks rushed over.
They came up to the guards and anxiously asked, “Where’s Master Eldritch?”
“Master Eldritch is meditating in the west meditation room.” One guard pointed inside, and the two munks sprinted in.
Inside the dimly lit west meditation room, a figure dressed in a red cassock was sitting on a couch. However, the entire right side of his face had been burnt.
The door suddenly burst open, and the two munks ran in with fearful looks on their faces.
Eldritch opened his eyes. His furious gaze and horrifying visual made snazzynovel.com look particularly sinister.
“Only you two came back? Where are the others?” Eldritch spoke with a chilling tone.
The munks fell to their knees. One of them trembled and said, “M-Master Eldritch, t-that little boy was saved by Isaac’s men. Only the two of us managed to escape. The rest were all killed by Isaac.”
Boom!
Eldritch shot up, swiftly went to them, and reached out to grip one of their throats. He then lifted the munk off the ground.
With a fearsome expression, Eldritch roared, “What did you say? That little brat was taken by Isaac?! Why? How did Isaac know about the Ninth Realm Seer?”
Eldritch’s roar echoed through the entire room.
The final offering in the sacrificial ritual was the heart of the Realm Seer, who was destined for reincarnation, accompanied by four other sets of internal organs. Only with this combination could there be a chance to resurrect Darkload Vorshe.
Eldritch had been meticulously preparing for this for a full 15 years. He had calculated that the Ninth Realm Seer would pass away this year, while the Tenth Realm Seer was yet to be revealed to the world and the Carmine Temple.
He had been waiting for this, a 15-year wait finally coming to fruition.
