Chapter 4036
"Veron Lange!" 1
Elder Fire, hot-tempered as he was, was the first to walk forward. He asked bluntly, "How do you know our sect's
Ultimate Reflectionless Method?"
Elder Wind, along with the rest of the Hidden Hero Sect, turned their gazes onto Debra. Their eyes flashed with
hostility.
Debra did not panic at all. She exhaled softly, speaking in a tone slow as molasses. "It was your Sect Master who
passed the method to me."
What?
Elder Fire and Elder Wind exchanged looks of mild confusion, along with everyone else.
Their Sect Master had passed those skills to her?
How was that possible? The Hidden Hero Sect's techniques were kept strictly within their circle of disciples. That
was a known rule.
"Impossible!"
Elder Fire quickly came to his senses as he roared, "The ultimate Reflectionless Method is only known to the
Hidden Hero Sect disciples and no one else. Besides, our Sect Master is not your friend. Why would she pass her
skills to you?"

The rest of the Hidden Hero Sect disciples nodded in agreement.
"Exactly. Your explanation makes no sense."
"Something must be amiss!"
"You must have acquired them with less than savory methods. I suggest you come clean
now."
The air rang with suspicions, everyone talking over each other. Chester was also confused,
but he attempted to diffuse the situation with a smile.
"My fellow brothers of the Hidden Hero Sect."
Chester looked around, his gaze landing on Elder wind and Elder Fire. "I implore you to
hold your anger. Debra is a close acquaintance of mine and the former Artemis Sect' Sect
Master. I have always known her to be a woman of nobleness and believe she would never
stoop as low as cheating her way into stealing anyone's skills. There has to be something
more to the story."
Chester turned his gaze onto Debra. "I think you should tell them everything that
happened, Debra."
Yvette also said, "Come on, Debra, out with it. Lest there be further misunderstandings."
Yvette and Debra were extremely close friends. Yvette did not know the entire situation,
but she knew that Debra was not a thief.
After all, cheating was considered a gravely immoral habit.
Debra took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright."
Debra began to describe how she had fallen for Skylar's lies, how she had been trapped in
the Franga Valley, and how Veron had gotten poisoned and plunged into the same valley.
She had planned only to tell everyone what happened after bringing them to the Franga
Valley. Veron's death had brought immense grief upon her, and she had yet to recover
from the mourning.
Yet, in the face of the Hidden Hero Sect's questioning, Debra knew she could not keep the
truth hidden any longer.
What?
Their Sect Master had died of poisoning?
Everyone was in shock. Their hearts sank as they stood rooted to the ground.
Debra exhaled, unable to contain her grief any longer. "I buried Veron in the Franga Valley
before coming here. Come with me!" Debra began to rise, soaring in the direction of the

The crowd followed her, not sparing a second of hesitation.
A few minutes later, at the Franga Valley.
Chester and his men, along with the Hidden Hero Sect disciples, stood wordlessly before a fresh grave in the
courtyard. They bowed their heads, mourning in silence.
"Veron, my sister."
Debra stepped forward, unable to stop the tears running down her face. "It's all my fault. I made the rash
decision to brew that antidote without knowing if it would work, and in return, I only poisoned you further."
Debra was reduced to a mess of ugly sobs. Her encounter with Veron had been a brief one, yet she was endlessly
thankful for Veron's generosity and willingness to pass all that she had learned in her lifetime to Debra before her
passing.
Debra had been stripped of her elixir field internal energy. If it had not been for Veron, she would have been as
good as useless.
The crowd's hearts ached at Veron's sobs. 2
"Lady Debra!'
Just then, Elder wind came forward. Gratitude was written all over his face. "Don't cry. what happened to Sect
Master was a case of poor fortune. I know you must have tried your best to save her."
Following that, Elder Wind bowed deeply toward Debra. "The Hidden Hero Sect has lost our Sect Master. What I
wish now is for
you to take her place and lead US from here onward."
