“Alright, I understand, I apologize for troubling you, Young Master Logan. I will surely practice cultivation diligently and ensure that my cultivation level improves,” she said.
These words seemed to land squarely in Logan’s heart, and he nodded slightly.
“That’s more like it.”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, with Nineteen and Little White standing by.
Although they did not come forward to join the conversation warmly, they did not stop them either.
Even knowing the close relationship between the two, they didn’t gossip, and Logan proceeded to introduce Lexi Carr to his Master and his Spirit Pet.
Lexi Carr gave a polite bow, indicating that she had taken note.
“By the way, how did you end up being hunted? I remember you have become much calmer, it’s unlike you, isn’t it?”
Mentioning this, Lexi Carr looked down, a complex gleam flashing across her eyes.
Logan sensed something and spoke again.
“What? It looks like there’s something you’re finding difficult to tell me. If you really can’t speak about it, then let’s just drop it, it’s okay.”
“It’s not that,”
Lexi Carr hurriedly waved her hands, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
“Young Master Logan, it’s not that I do not wish to tell you, well, the truth is that the higher-ups of the Demon Race have a conspiracy. I came to know of it unintentionally, and as a result, it has brought me a fatal calamity. They want to silence me by killing me.”
“A conspiracy? Could it be that the Demon Race has some new schemes?”
The fact that the Demon Race was pursuing Lexi Carr seemed to suggest a significant secret that could not be revealed.
As Lexi Carr was about to share something with Logan, Nineteen suddenly interrupted her urgently.
“Logan!”
It was rare to hear such urgency in his Master’s voice, and Logan quickly turned around.
“Master, what’s the matter?”
Nineteen’s expression was indescribably serious yet tinged with a hint of joy.
“Logan, forget about the Demon Race’s conspiracy for now. I’ve sensed something very important. Bring out the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.”
The Wordless Heavenly Scripture was an item of great importance, not to be used except on special occasions.
And yet, his Master was asking him to use it at this moment.
“Hurry up, don’t waste time, and don’t miss out on any opportunities!”
Seeing him hesitate, Nineteen couldn’t help but urge him again.
Hearing this, Logan seemed to finally react and took out the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
“Drop a drop of blood on it.”
Without hesitation, Logan bit his fingertip and let a drop of blood fall onto it.
He then closed his eyes and began to guide as Nineteen had instructed.
After a moment, when he slowly opened his eyes, a blaze of Golden Light filled his view.
Nineteen clapped her hands, seemingly quite pleased with this spectacle.
“Very good, the Wordless Heavenly Scripture has revealed the ancient relics. Logan, what are you waiting for? Go and take a look. There must be something good on it, and only you can see it.”
Logan paused for a moment, but after his initial surprise, he quickly turned to look.
Finding that it had revealed ancient relics and a map, and piecing it together with his Master’s words, he knew she had a purpose in mind.
“No matter what is revealed, make sure you record it all.”
This was needless advice for Logan, as he would have done it of his own accord.
Not knowing how long the map would remain, he memorized it meticulously.
A moment later, the map indeed disappeared, but it was now etched in his mind.
Nineteen came up beside him.
“How is it, did you sense anything special from the Wordless Heavenly Scripture?”
Logan didn’t withhold anything, and he recounted everything about the map to her.
Nineteen listened and was overjoyed.
“Ha-ha, good, after waiting for so long, the time has finally come. Logan, let me tell you, you’re incredibly fortunate. Follow the ancient relics and map revealed just now and set off right away.”
Logan had not expected things to move so swiftly, and he also noticed a sense of urgency in her eyes.
“Master, do we really have to hurry so much? What exactly is this ancient ruin, and what benefits does it have for us? Your disciple is completely in the dark.”
However, Nineteen didn’t elaborate and just gazed at him intently.
“Disciple, do you trust me? If you trust me, then listen to me and don’t ask any more questions. Just go to this ancient ruin, and you will definitely find an opportunity to increase your cultivation level by another layer.”
It was now up to Logan to make his own choice, since the other party had said as much.

After a moment of hesitation, Logan still chose to trust his Master. He believed that his Master would not deceive him.
“Master, I was being overly cautious just now. I’m willing to trust you.”
“Very good, that’s my good disciple.”
Nineteen was quite pleased with this and several people began their journey following the map.
At night, they camped in a piece of Wilderness.
Logan subconsciously looked towards his Master’s silhouette, his expression somewhat odd.
Ever since the ancient ruin and the map had appeared, Nineteen’s mood had been a bit off; even his favorite wine was left untouched, and from time to time he would space out. Logan rarely saw him like this and was somewhat puzzled.
However, if the Master didn’t bring it up on his own, he wouldn’t ask further.
He was aware that his Master was keeping secrets from him, but everyone has secrets, and he himself had secrets. Why insist on demanding complete honesty from others?
As long as the Master wouldn’t deceive or harm him, that was enough.
Logan was taking a gamble, even though he hadn’t known his Master for long, he was willing to take the risk.
“Master, we should rest early tonight, we have to continue on our journey tomorrow.”
Upon being reminded by him, Nineteen finally came back to himself.
But he still didn’t turn his head, his back facing Logan as he sighed softly.
“Alas, Logan, it’s rare for me to have such sleepless nights.”
Logan actually agreed with this; it indeed rarely happened.
“Enough, I won’t think too much about it. Time to rest and conserve energy.”
After speaking, he jumped onto a tree and found a fairly sturdy branch to lie flat on, crossing his hands in front of him and slowly closing his eyes, as if he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
This left Logan feeling a bit helpless, yet also thinking that he might have been overthinking things.
The little old man showed no signs of distraction or shock.
Logan also planned to put out the campfire and go to sleep.
However, in the middle of the night, Little White’s sharp cries awoke him.
Perhaps it was an instinctive sense of danger that had him leap out of the tent immediately, and this action undoubtedly saved his life, as just at the next moment, a blaze roared towards his tent. A split second later, and he would have been burned alive in the raging fire just like the tent.
The assailants had come with lethal intent, determined to take their lives.
It seemed they were targeting them specifically for murder.
Logan’s gaze grew sharp as he calmed his rapid breathing and first rushed to Lexi Carr’s side to move her to safety.
“Are you okay?”
He looked at Lexi Carr’s pale face and rarely showed concern.
Lexi Carr shook her head, but her complexion was still far from good.
The next moment, she grabbed Logan’s hand tightly.
“Logan, this is bad, those people are from the Demon Race, they must be here for me. You have to run, I can hold them off!”
Moved by her willingness to think of him even in a crisis, Logan felt a warmth in his heart; this friend hadn’t been made in vain.
But at the same time, he didn’t forget to reassure her.
“What are you thinking? I’m with you, and if the enemies aren’t idiots, they would know I saved you. How could they possibly let me go? We’re better off working together; maybe our chances of success are higher that way.”
Before Lexi Carr could reply, the pursuing members of the Demon Race spoke up first, as if they had heard something laughable, their voices grating on Logan’s ears.
“The Human race is right, Lexi Carr. To think someone dares to save you means they’re opposing us. Even if you run to the Ends of the Earth, we won’t let him go. You might as well stay here and await your death, maybe we’ll leave you a whole corpse.”
As they spoke, the individual exchanged a glance with his companions and burst into loud laughter.
They looked down on Lexi Carr and the others, clearly treating their lives as easy to snuff out, without the slightest regard.
Anxious, Lexi Carr quickly tugged Logan forward to shield him.
“What do you want to do? If you want to do something to me, come at me. It was I who overheard your secret. I haven’t told anyone else; it has nothing to do with him. Let him go!”
