Although Hadirt had already been slain, Wilbur knew that this matter was far from over. The cultivators of Tevinter Town would not let it rest. At the moment, Tevinter Town was hosting a selection tournament for the new city lord.
Wilbur knew that regardless of the outcome, the new city lord would not cease to suppress him, and eventually, someone would be sent to challenge him. Therefore, for the next few years at least, he could not leave Buck Town.
At the Reyne family residence, by the shores of Azure Dragon Lake, Divan knelt on one knee and respectfully reported, "Lord Babbit, our plan has failed. Wilbur's old friend, Augheimer, has suddenly grown immensely powerful. He personally killed Collier. If Augheimer and Wilbur joined forces, I believe they could threaten the very foundation of Buck Town. Therefore, I suggest that we must find a way to eliminate Augheimer first, and then look for an opportunity to kill Wilbur."
Since the battle with Hadirt, Edmund's attitude toward Wilbur has changed significantly. Edmund had gone from being unable to tolerate Wilbur's existence to now accepting it.
However, while Wilbur was allowed to cultivate in Buck Town, he absolutely could not be allowed to form a network of connections here. Otherwise, if Wilbur gained a solid foundation and became influential, it might become difficult to determine who would be the City Lord and who would be the subject in the future.
Although Wilbur once saved his life, there must still be a clear distinction in status between cultivators, or the stability of Buck Town would be jeopardized. As the ruler of Buck Town, Edmund must assert his authority. Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Where is that cultivator named Augheimer now?"
Divan replied, "Lord Babbit, Augheimer is currently outside the city. It is said that Augheimer cultivated a special technique that allows him to absorb the energy of other cultivators. In the past ten days, he has killed five thousand cultivators outside the city."
