Chapter 1275: Chapter 701 Factor_2 Chapter 1275: Chapter 701 Factor_2 “The Elders pondered for a moment before saying, 'I remember Lord Logan once mentioned that he has a hidden cultivation place deep in the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range. We can go there to look for him, and perhaps we might find some trace of him.'”
“Good! Let's set off immediately to the depths of the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range to search for Lord Logan!” Everyone stood up, their eyes sparkling with determination. They knew this was their only hope, and their sole pathway to the Spirit World.
Thus, members from several sects quickly prepared and embarked on their journey to the depths of the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range. They passed through dense forests, scaled rugged mountains, and, after enduring countless hardships, finally arrived at Logan's place of cultivation.
However, when they arrived, they found the place completely deserted. It seemed as though Logan had left long ago, leaving only silence and desolation behind.
“This… Lord Logan isn't here?” They looked at each other, filled with disappointment and helplessness. They had thought that finding Logan would allow them to smoothly enter the Spirit World. It turned out that Logan was not there.
“Perhaps, we can leave a message, so that when Lord Logan returns, he will naturally see it,” suggested a Sect Elder.
“Good! Let's leave a message, explaining our intention and dilemma.” Everyone nodded in agreement. They left a detailed letter at Logan's cultivation place, expounding their struggles and request. Then, with a mix of reluctance and hope, they left the desolate area.
They knew that in the coming days, they would be caught in endless waiting. But as long as Logan could see their letter, and as long as he was still willing to help, they would have a hope of entering the Spirit World and continuing their cultivation journey.
Logan's Helplessness and Sheron Perri's Astonishment
In an elegant chamber within the City Lord's Mansion, Logan quietly hid behind a screen, his figure obscured by the complex patterns of the screen, revealing only his deep eyes, shimmering with helplessness and irritation. He had simply wanted to find a quiet place to rest for a while, but had inadvertently overheard the conversation of several sect members, which, incredibly, concerned him again.
“Ah, why is it always me?” Logan muttered to himself, his tone full of helplessness. He rubbed his temples, trying to ease the sudden headache. These matters had nothing to do with him; why must he always be dragged into them?
——————————————–
He shook his head helplessly, his gaze involuntarily shifting towards Sheron Perri, who was standing not far away. Sheron Perri was a capable assistant in the City Lord's Mansion, always skillfully handling various trifles. At this moment, he was staring blankly at the screen behind which Logan was hiding, clearly still unaware of Logan's presence.
“Sheron Perri, oh Sheron Perri, this time you really need to help me.” Logan thought to himself, then he stealthily stepped out from behind the screen, trying not to make any noise. However, Sheron Perri quickly sensed the movement and spun around, seeing Logan walking toward him.
“Lord Logan, what are you doing here?” Sheron Perri asked in surprise, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Logan did not answer directly but patted Sheron Perri's shoulder and said solemnly, “Find a way to get these sect people off my back. I have other matters to attend to, so I need to leave now.”
Hearing this, Sheron Perri's eyes widened, and he pointed at Logan, his mouth agape but unable to utter a word. His heart was filled with disbelief and innocent grievance–why was it always him? He hadn't done anything, so why was he always thrust into the limelight?
“Lord Logan, this… this doesn't seem quite appropriate, does it?” Sheron Perri finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, his voice trembling slightly, “I… I'm just a mere assistant, how could I keep the Sects from focusing on you?”
Logan sighed helplessly. He well understood Sheron's predicament, but at that moment, he had no other choice. He could only pat Sheron on the shoulder again, his tone firm as he spoke: “Sheron, I believe in your ability. You have always been resourceful, and I'm sure you will come up with a solution this time as well. Remember, I just don't want to be entangled in these trivial matters; you only need to buy me some time, and once I have handled my affairs, I will naturally return.”
After he had finished speaking, Logan turned to leave, leaving Sheron standing there alone, his face full of distress and helplessness. Watching Logan's receding figure, Sheron's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He knew that this mission was undoubtedly a massive challenge for him, but he also understood that since Lord Logan had entrusted him with such an important task, it was a sign of his trust and affirmation.
“Ah, well, since Lord Logan trusts me so much, I will do my best.” Sheron secretly resolved in his heart, then he began to ponder how to deal with the entanglements of those Sects.
Meanwhile, Logan quickly walked out of the guestroom. Although he still felt some irritability in his heart, there was more anticipation and longing for the future. He knew that only by freeing himself from these trivial matters could he focus more on his personal affairs and reach his goals faster.
“I hope Sheron can handle it smoothly.” Logan silently prayed in his heart, while quickening his steps towards the deeper parts of the City Lord's Mansion. He knew that more challenges and opportunities awaited him ahead, and he was fully prepared.
Logan's decision and Sheron's collapse
In a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion, Logan and Sheron stood face to face, the atmosphere tense. Logan's gaze was firm and profound, as if he had made some important decision. Sheron, on the other hand, looked puzzled and anxious, clearly still in shock from Logan's recent words.
“Logan, are you sure? You're not joking, are you?” Sheron's voice trembled, and he looked incredulously at Logan, hoping it was just a joke from the other.
Logan slightly frowned, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but mostly it was determination. “Of course I'm not joking, Sheron. I need to go to the City Lord's Mansion. There are some matters I must handle personally; otherwise, it might attract unnecessary attention, and that could lead to trouble.”
Hearing this, Sheron grew even more anxious. “But, Lord Logan, if you go, what if…” He hesitated, clearly worried about Logan's safety.
Logan patted Sheron on the shoulder, his tone full of trust and encouragement. “Don't worry, Sheron. With you here, I believe you can handle everything. You just need to hold off those people from the Great Sects and stop them from causing trouble. As for the rest, I'll take care of it.”
After saying this, Logan turned around to leave. However, just as he was about to exit the secret room, he suddenly stopped, turned back to Sheron, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. “By the way, Sheron, I've left you a little helper.”
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Logan's figure suddenly blurred, and soon after, a clone that looked exactly like Logan appeared in the secret room. This clone was almost indistinguishable from Logan himself, whether in appearance or demeanor.
“This is…” Sheron's eyes widened as he stared at the clone before him, filled with shock.
“This is my clone; he will be here to help you deal with those people from the Great Sects. With him here, you should be able to relax quite a bit.” Logan explained, then his figure blurred once again, eventually disappearing completely from the secret room.
Sheron looked in the direction Logan had left, then back at the clone in front of him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
