Chapter 925: Chapter 529: The Bones of the Saint King_2
Having said that, she huffed coldly, turned around, and left, leaving three people behind, standing there. They looked at each other, one with a more ashen complexion than the next.
One of the men mustered the courage and called out.
“Where are you going?”
They were in a mist-shrouded forest, frequented by Spirit Beasts.
Maya Leaf was leading the team, and if she really left them behind in a huff, with just their strength the three of them wouldn’t be able to survive in this place.
Therefore, even after being mocked, the man had to speak for his own safety.
The other two looked somewhat unsightly as well, but they didn’t stop the man.
Maya Leaf turned her head, looking down at them, coolly uttering a sentence.
“Didn’t the Johnson Family send a message? What, you all clamored to go back just now, and now that we’re actually heading back, you’re not willing to follow?”
After she finished speaking, she continued on her way.
The three of them, upon realizing they were heading back to the Johnson Family, all breathed a sigh of relief, showing signs of happiness, as long as they weren’t left behind here, it was fine.
Once safe, the woman couldn’t restrain her petty thoughts, and started to grouse again.
“Look at Maya Leaf, this woman. All she ever does is play her cards close to her chest, and she dares to speak to us like that. She really grew up following her parents around everywhere, ‘studying with great masters, learning powerful spells’. She just doesn’t care enough about the Johnson Family. She’s just not like us, who abide by the rules.”
The two men’s faces also darkened, but no one dared to go and pick a fight with Maya Leaf.
Seeing this, the woman was very dissatisfied.
“What’s the matter with you? Even in this situation, you still tolerate her?”
The two men not only dismissed this, they even gave her a cold look.
“Otherwise, what do you want us to do? If you have a complaint and want to start trouble, why don’t you do it yourself, instead of expecting us to?”
The woman choked on her words, and for what other reason could it be, but that they couldn’t defeat the other party.
And the two men had the same reason.
“See, you can’t beat her yourself, yet you always want us to step in. Ha, save it. No matter how much we dislike her, Maya Leaf is a prominent figure in the entire Johnson Family. Unless you and I achieve that level of strength, we’ll never be able to shake her position or challenge her. I advise you to be realistic, let’s just head back to the Johnson Family and talk there.”
Having said that, the two men ignored the woman and followed Maya Leaf directly.
The woman, not content in her heart, stomped her foot fiercely, but still followed along.
The misty forest was fraught with danger.
Although she had cultivated for some time, she didn’t dare to stay there alone.
Despite her anger at the men’s words, she had to admit they were true.
It was precisely because they were true, because Maya Leaf surpassed her in every aspect, that made the woman feel both angry and anxious, yet she found no immediate solution.
Meanwhile, Maya Leaf actually didn’t care about the three people behind her, nor did she care about that woman’s jealousy toward her.
All that occupied her mind was the clan message she had just received.
Brother Logan, huh?
Last time, Dwayne Johnson barely escaped with his life, lightly chastised.
She believed Brother Logan was definitely not someone rash, yet Dwayne Johnson still ended up dead this time. It seemed that the fool had committed some unforgivable act.
Utter stupidity!
Thinking about it made Maya Leaf angry.
She had gone to great lengths to appease Logan, hoping he wouldn’t have too poor an impression of the Johnson Family, considering she still wore the label of the Johnson Family. Yet, Dwayne Johnson had been so oblivious to his own limits. He had nearly gotten himself killed last time, and now he had dared to provoke Brother Logan again.
Who knows what he did to touch Brother Logan’s last nerve, ending up with his life taken, and even Father Johnson’s cultivation level destroyed. It seemed that the father and son must have lacked morality, having committed some transgression.
Maya Leaf clenched her fists tightly, a shadow passing across her face.
“Dammit, all you know how to do is cause me trouble. Wait until I get back, and see how I deal with you scum.”
She had been collecting evidence of the illegal actions of Dwayne Johnson’s branch of the family for some time, originally planning to take them all down at the right moment, but they had walked into a death trap on their own.
This was not important, what was important was that the main Johnson Family could not continue making mistakes.
Now, she had to find a way to stop all this, perhaps the evidence she had gathered earlier would play a crucial role, and Maya Leaf was no longer waiting, she was homeward bound and, consumed with urgency, she traveled day and night back to the Johnson Family.
She was quick, but the three people who had been following her suffered greatly.
Their cultivation levels were not as high as hers, and neither were their stamina and strength.
Even though they traveled day and night, the three nearly perished on the road, but they dared not stop for fear of losing pace with her. They did not know the way back, and if they lost the way, who knew what kind of danger could occur?
But they could not help complaining.
“Sister Maya, we know you are powerful in cultivation, and our levels are low, but isn’t it too much to treat us fellow disciples like this? Following you without rest, we almost died of exhaustion!”
“Oh?”
Maya Leaf looked at them, seemingly puzzled by this.
“Treat you badly, what do you mean? When have I ever treated you badly?”
Seeing her deny doing anything wrong, the three were holding their breath in frustration, and the girl couldn’t help but say,
“Isn’t it treating us badly? You keep pushing on because you’re strong in cultivation, but why can’t you consider us few with lower cultivation? Following you without rest, we almost died from exhaustion on the road!”
Maya Leaf finally comprehended, but was quite unsatisfied with their conservative attitudes.
“I see, but you didn’t need to follow me. I was hurrying back to the Johnson Family, and you could have returned at a slower pace. Besides, even if you did not know the way, it wouldn’t have mattered; you could have asked along the way. It’s you who insisted on keeping up, not me forcing you.”
The three:…
She was really good at shifting responsibility.
They wanted to argue, but upon reflection, it seemed that, indeed, it was just as she said, leaving them unable to refute.
Maya Leaf once again soared into the sky.
“Now that we’ve discussed this, I won’t wait for you any longer, farewell, I’ll go ahead!”
Afterward, her figure turned into a streak of light, quickly vanishing into the air.
The three looking at each other in dismay:…
Crows seemed to fly overhead, profoundly expressing their inner turmoil.
After some more time, Maya Leaf finally managed to reach the Johnson Mansion. Upon her return, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere within the family clan was amiss.
Many elite members had gathered in the clan, each one a creme de la creme.
Not only that, but the number of members in training and patrolling had increased significantly, a clear sign that they were preparing for battle.
Maya Leaf’s heart sank. What was happening? Was such an extensive mobilization necessary?
She suppressed her concerns, and casually asked someone on the way for information.
The person, aware of her status, did not conceal anything and laid it all out.
“Well, what else could it be? Ever since that branch of the Johnson Family was annihilated, the Elders and senior clan members have been furious, feeling compelled to punish the main perpetrator, Logan. Now they’ve called back many family members, and training has already begun. It seems a great battle is imminent. Haven’t you noticed the atmosphere in the Johnson Family has become heavy?”
Hearing this disciple’s words, Maya Leaf’s expression also turned very serious.
From the clan’s mood, were they really going to take drastic action?
If many Elders attacked Logan together, that would be no small matter.
Maya Leaf thought for a moment and decided she had to stop it all at any cost.
She looked at the evidence she had collected in her hand, and her resolve slowly solidified.

She arrived at the Council Hall where especially the Elders were present, discussing a grave matter. The atmosphere in the Hall was intense, and Maya Leaf lightened her steps as she entered.
“Elders, I have important information to report, relating to the annihilation of the branch. I hope the Elders can grant me an opportunity to speak.”
