Wilbur pondered for a moment and said, "I can agree to work with you, but we have to make things clear."


    Edmund turned around to look at Wilbur and asked, "What do you mean?"


    Wilbur replied, "First of all, we''re forming this alliance because we''re both dragon n cultivators. Secondly, I can help you, but remember that you''ll owe me a favor. I hope you''ll be there to help me and Senior Horne if we run into trouble in the future."


    "Yeah, that seems fair enough. Alright, I''ll ept those terms. I''ll owe you a favor," Edmund agreed.


    After exchanging nces, Edmund and Wilbur turned and left. Felix emerged from the shadows and nced in the direction Edmund had gone, then said, "Master, I can''t believe you were able to fight Lord Edmund to a standstill."


    Wilbur had sensed Felix''s presence during the battle, and he knew that Felix was hiding in the shadows. Likewise, Wilbur was aware that if Edmund wanted to end him, Felix would have stepped in to help.


    Wilbur asked Edmund for a favor not because he was afraid of other cultivators. It was because the energy field of the Vermillion Bird Mountains could restore his body within a day. Wilbur was concerned about Felix as he was still too weak with only three thousand years of cultivation. He needed Edmund''s protection.


    Felix sighed at that moment and said, "Damn, I didn''t expect this. I can''t believe your rtionship with Edmund changed so drastically over this battle. I think we''ll be enjoying a status boost in Buck Town and also Edmund''s respect. This roller coaster of a few short years is truly unbelievable. Our immediate crisis has been resolved. Master, you really are my lucky star."


    Felix bowed to Wilbur, who responded, "You don''t need to thank me, Senior Horne. I''m only doing what''s right. By the way, remember that you can''t let anyone know about what happened tonight. Otherwise, Edmund and I will be in deep trouble."


    "Yes, Master," Felix replied.


    Wilbur told Felix to go back and rest after a brief conversation. He entered the mirror dimension to continue cultivating. The time in the mirror dimension was a thousand times faster than the outside world, so Wilbur quickly recovered from his injuries while healing in the mirror dimension.


    A few dayster, six Dragon yer Organization members came to the Chris family. They wore long ck robes with ''Dragon yer'' embroidered on the front. Felix was the one who greeted them.


    He asked, "May I inquire as to the purpose of your visit to the Chris family today?"


    The leader of the six was a young man named Hanson. He replied, "Lord Horne, we''ve detected dragon aura in the Vermillion Bird Mountains under the jurisdiction of the Chris family recently. If our suspicions are correct, a dragon n cultivator has infiltrated your ranks. We hope you will gather the members of the Chris family immediately. We will investigate thoroughly to find the dragon n cultivator."


    Bam!


    Felix smacked the table and stood up abruptly, eximing, "How outrageous! What do you take the Chris family for? Do you think we''re servants you canmand at will?"


    Hanson quickly smiled when he heard that and said, "Please calm down, Lord Horne. I have no intention of cing myself above the Chris family, but the presence of a dragon n cultivator is a grave matter. Perhaps you are unaware, sir. Five hundred years ago, a dragon n cultivator went on a rampage in the Keston Desert, killing hundreds of cultivators."


    "Shut up!" Felix cut Hanson off and said, "I''m well aware of the Keston Desert incident, but that''s not the fault of the dragon n cultivator. ording to what I know, the incident happened because those cultivators had plotted in advance to attack together. They intended to kill the dragon n cultivator and steal his possessions. However, they were killed by the dragon n cultivator in the end. How can you me him? Aren''t you just being biased here?"
