Chapter 863
The map!
Andrius knew that the four great ancient martial families had not given up.
He did not respond. It was as if he did not hear the old man speaking at all. Thud, thud!
A cold glint shed in the old man’s eyes, and he suddenly tapped two points on Andrius‘ body.
Two icy forces of inner energy pierced his body, ruthlessly destroying his already shattered meridians.
A sharp pain immediately shot through his heart.
In just three seconds, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and his veins bulged, making him look
extremely fierce and terrifying.
Crack, crack, crack….
Andrius clenched his teeth, refusing to answer the old man’s questions or make any sounds of pain.
“Impressive stubbornness!” A sinister smile shed in the old man’s face when he saw how good
Andrius‘ endurance was. “Andrius Moonshade, your lips are sealed quite tight. However, I have plenty
of ways to pry it open!”
He gave Andrius a deep look and signaled for the two beside him to watch over Andrius. Then, he
turned and left the courtyard.
In the main hall of the Swallows‘ residence, a figure stood with his back to the entrance. He was tall,
imposing, and awe–inspiring.
It was none other than the head of the Swallows, Norvin Swallow.
“Sir…” The old man stopped several meters away and bowed slightly, reporting, “Andrius is very tight–
lipped and hasn’t spoken yet.‘

“There’s no rush.” Norvin turned around, his face filled with confidence, and said calmly. He’s already in
our hands, so it’s only a matter of time before he speaks.”
The old man nodded slowly. He felt the same.
“However…” Norvin looked out of the window toward the blue sky and white clouds. “News of Andrius
falling into our hands will surely be known to the three great ns very soon. Thus, today’s
interrogation must be keptpletely secret. No leaks are allowed.
“Otherwise, no matter if Andrius talks or not, the Sheppards, the Fullers, and the Anders will think that
the Swallows have already learned about the treasure map through him.
“That will be disadvantageous to the Swallows.”
The old man nodded and replied, “Understood!”
Soon, the message was passed on News of Andrius being captured by the Swallows was forbidden to
be disclosed.
In the Forbidden Pce, Registus immediately contacted Old Hagstorm after the Seventh Elder took
Andrius away.
“Master! Andrius has been captured by the Seventh Elder of the Swallows. The Swallows brought
many experts, and each of them was in the martial realm. I couldn’t stop them…”
Registus was also helpless.
The ancient martial world had been established for many years in Florence and was not something that
a single emperor couldpete with. It would be hard for any change in this short time.
“Since the Swallows have chosen to make a move, they will do so with great force and won’t leave any
opportunities for us.

Old Hagstorm looked toward the north and sighed softly. “If we want to rescue Andrius, our only option
is to seek the assistance of the Medicine Sect.”
The Medicine Sect!
Registus smiled wryly. “But the Medicine Sect has distanced itself from conflicts for many years. They
never stepped forward even when the Klein family was annihted by the four great ns in the past.
“Will they break their long–standing rule and intervene on Andrius‘ behalf?
“That clearly doesn’t benefit them and goes against their interests.”
Registus‘ analysis was reasonable. The Medicine Sect had long stayed out of conflicts. Trying to
involve them now seemed impossible.
“It won’t be up to them.” Old Hagstorm muttered to himself, “I have a way to force their hand.”
Registus could not help but look at him in surprise.
Old Hagstorm did not speak and simply revealed a mysterious smile.
Mount Cura was made up of continuous mountain ranges and towering ridges.
The roars of tigers and cries of cranes could often be heard. The area was shrouded in mist, making it
seem like paradise.
It was the territory of the Medicine Sect in Florence.
