NovelTrueChapter 2085
---- Chapter 2085 The unique Flamebinding of the Crimson FlCult burned across Shiloh's chest. The bloody
seal glowed faintly against her pale skin. In just a few days, Shiloh looked younger still. Though Andrew knew it
was her, her features had shifted. She appeared a few years younger, looking barely 18 now. "Mr. McDaniel
Senior, you've arrived. Now we can begin our ceremony!" the hoarse voice rasped from beneath a rough hood
Next to the stone platform where Shiloh lay, a tall, thin figure stood with his head lowered.
His skeletal, claw-like fingers kept drawing bloody marks on the stone platform. These bloody marks intersected
with each other, forming strange patterns. Cordelia had revealed that the Crimson FlCult was preparing to
perform skind of ritual on Shiloh. Once the ritual succeeded, she would forever belong to the Crimson Flame
Cult. Looking at the scene now, Andrew could tell this tall, thin person must be the Crimson FlCult's high
priest. And what he was doing was likely that mysterious and evil ritual. Andrew exhaled quietly, forcing himself
not to act impulsively.
---- He continued waiting to see what would happen. Nicholas walked to the stone platform, his sword held
behind his back. He looked down and asked, "Your Eminence, can you really extract her power?" The High Priest,
Alistair Greymont, whose face was hidden beneath the hood, replied in his raspy voice, "Indeed. Our holy cult
wants the saintess herself. To express our gratitude to the McDaniel family, her Blood of Longevity will be yours.
"[need not tell you what such blood can do, Mr. McDaniel Senior. A single drop is enough to create another peak
martial saint for your family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll of it together... and you could dominate the Holtrien martial world itself." Nicholas's face showed fanatical
excitement as he exclaimed, " That's great! How wonderful! However, Your Eminence, while she's important, her
blood alone won't satisfy my family. We still need to get our hands on the secrets behind the Greene family."
Alistair replied calmly, "Mr. McDaniel Senior, patience. The Greene family's secrets have tempted countless
others. For years, none have succeeded, not a single one. "It is absurd to think you could wrest it from her when
even killing her would reveal nothing.
Only Crimson FlCult can draw it forth. Take the gift before you and do not be greedy. The High Oracle has
promised further rewards for your family." ---- Nicholas's expression soured. "That was not our agreement. Do
you know the risk my family bears working with your cult? If word spreads, the McDaniels could face annihilation.
And now you think to fob us off with only her blood? | will not agree to that." Alistair remained calm and
collected. "The Crimson FlCult has been labeled as an evil cult in Holtrien's martial world. How absurd and
wrong such claims are.
Tell me, without us, what could you do with her? She has no memory. "The Greene family's secrets are locked
within her, beyond your reach. In this partnership, the McDaniels already stand to gain the most. That is not only
my opinion, but the High Oracle's decree. You should accept what is already enough." Nicholas fell into silence,
brows furrowed. Alistair waited, calm as ever. Even though they were on McDaniel family territory, this old man
showed no fear whatsoever. Andrew's unease deepened. He could not read Alistair at all. At last, Nicholas said,
"Very well, then.
But know this: if you refuse to share
