The Medallion

Chapter 1044 The Duchess Silver

Meanwhile, in the vast open space just outside the pavilion, people and beasts continued to chase the Duchess Silver as it flew around spontaneously. However, the Duchess Silver was too fast that even the masters at the Supernal Stage could not catch it, let alone the weaker masters.

The chase lasted an hour. People in front of the pavilion were in disarray and most of them were exhausted. Only the masters at the Supernal Stage were strong enough to continue with the chase. They persisted but failed to even touch the hair of the Duchess Silver.

Amid the chaos, a man appeared out of nowhere. He was tall and slender. He wore a bamboo hat on his head and was dressed like an old boatman. Confidently, he walked towards the pavilion and saw the people madly chasing the Duchess Silver. A mischievous smile spread across his face.

The Duchess Silver seemed to have sensed his presence when it stopped in mid-air. It descended quickly and landed in front of the man wearing a bamboo hat. People from the crowd were surprised as they saw it approach the man like a gentle animal.

The scene startled everyone.

"I did not expect you to recognize me!" The man wearing a bamboo hat was obviously pleased as he watched the Duchess Silver approach him. With a smile on his face, he reached out to touch the white mane on its neck.

The Duchess Silver seemed delighted with his show of affection. It whined and rubbed its head against the man's shoulder.

"Hey! Hand the Duchess Silver to me and I will give you one hundred taels of gold!" one man shouted. He noticed that the man looked like a servant. He sensed the aura of a spirit manipulator, but the aura seemed very weak. Because of this, he quickly assumed that he was a disciple of the Ji Clan, so his eyes immediately lit up with joy.

The others thought of the same thing, and they began to outbid each other.

"I offer three hundred taels of gold!"

"Five hundred."

"One thousand."

"Three thousand."

"Ten thousand!

As if in an auction, the people continued to bid until the price soared and reached fifty thousand taels of gold. The amount was excessive and was more than what an ordinary person could earn in an entire lifetime. The crowd was too excited, and they did not notice that the man wearing a bamboo hat had never said a word. He ignored the people from the crowd completely and remained to play with the Duchess Silver.

The offers went higher, but the man paid no attention to them.

"Hey, what's going on? The price had reached one hundred thousand taels of gold. Isn't that enough? One hundred thousand taels of gold mean nothing to us, but for someone like you, one hundred taels of gold is invaluable! You can never earn this much money in your entire life! Bring the Duchess Silver to me, or I will teach you a lesson!" A master at the Supernal Stage threatened.

But the man wearing a bamboo hat took no notice.

"Damn it! Forget him. Let's attack the Duchess Silver together while it's on the ground. Don't let it fly up again." Since the Duchess Silver was on the ground, it was the perfect opportunity to strike. The people had become impatient and were all anxious to snag the Duchess Silver, so they could win an opportunity to meet Sabina.

Altogether, the people including several masters at the Supernal Stage rushed forward.

Seeing this, the Duchess Silver was alarmed and wanted to take flight. It did not want to be caught by the frantic people. But the man wearing a bamboo hat stopped it and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I will not let them near you." He then gathered his spiritual energy and before long, a tall and strong wolf shadow like a man appeared from the Magic Spiritual Space.

Shortly, the wolf shadow raised its head and gave out a loud, angry roar.

As the spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage approached the Duchess Silver, they saw the tall black shadow hover above them. It advanced at an amazing speed; the people were too surprised to make a move. Before they could react, the wolf shadow had already waved its paws and hurled them into the air. The force was strong enough to shove them away, but it did not harm anyone. It was just sufficient to ward the people away from the man and the Duchess Silver.

Unperturbed, several masters at the Supernal Stage pressed forward. They got around the wolf shadow and moved towards the Duchess Silver.

However, just as the masters at the Supernal Stage drew near, the man wearing a bamboo hat shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Quickly, a potent force rose from the ground and stretched in all directions. The powerful force circled around the man and released a wave of energy around him. The masters at the Supernal Stage could not move an inch. Their bodies convulsed as they tried to go near the wave of energy.

The scene bewildered everyone. The man wearing a bamboo hat appeared weak, but he just gave off an extremely powerful aura. The spirit-manipulated beast he summoned was also extraordinary. It blocked the spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage with no effort. It was unbelievable.

Leonard and Elder Myron, who saw everything, looked at each other. With their status, they could not join a fight on impulse or act as robbers on the street.

But they had a bizarre feeling when they saw the man show off his astonishing strength. They knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and there was no way they would let pass.

In unison, Leonard and Elder Myron moved their bodies and were soon in front of the man.

"Give me the Duchess Silver, and I will give you whatever you want. I can give you one hundred thousand taels of gold, and I can pay double," Leonard declared as he took out a pile of golden bills from his pocket. He was the chief of a clan, and could easily afford the enormous amount of money.

"Chief Leonard, I think he also wants to have the opportunity with Miss Sabina. But with his appearance, he doesn't stand a chance. We don't have to be polite to him. Let's see who can get the Duchess Silver from him first." Elder Myron was more ruthless and did not want to bother with being civilized. His eyes darkened. He made a move to grab the Duchess Silver.

Surprised, Leonard quickly made a move to catch the Duchess Silver as well. There was no way he would let Elder Myron get the upper hand.

Just as Leonard and Elder Myron were about to catch the Duchess Silver, the man wearing a bamboo hat gently pushed the Duchess Silver. It shifted and dodged the attack of Leonard and Elder Myron.

Leonard and Elder Myron were annoyed. They did not expect the man to help the Duchess Silver avoid their attack. This fueled their determination, and they both rushed forward to the Duchess Silver.

In an instant, the man wearing a bamboo hat appeared beside the Duchess Silver and intercepted the attack of the two men.
