Chapter 423

Baryl continued, “Simon may seem peculiar, but his intentions towards you are genuine. Do youunderstand why he took off his ring earlier but then put it back on?”

Mauve glanced at Baryl, her eyes wet with tears. “Why?”

Baryl explained, “This ring is a treasure. Simon initially wanted to leave it with you, but he decided totake it back out of concern. He didn't want the ring to inadvertently bring you any trouble or danger.”

Hearing that, Mauve burst into tears.

She sobbed for a while before wiping her tears dry and getting to her feet. Without hesitation, she ranout and headed toward Heavenly Cave.

Simon thought he was doomed.

When he woke up, the sun was up.

To be exact, it was two in the afternoon.

Simon discovered he was lying in Baryl's bed. There was a glass skylight on the roof, allowing thesunlight to stream into the room.

Through the sunlight, one could see the dust floating everywhere.

There was dust everywhere in this world, and with every breath they took, everyone would unknowinglyinhale particles of dust. However, the dust was barely visible to the naked eye.

Right now, Simon could see the dust clearly.

He sat up abruptly and realized his body was nursed back to health. The golden king silkworm in hisbody had disappeared, along with the poison.

He felt free, relaxed, and strong again.

He was no longer restrained and could do whatever he wanted.

Simon let out a loud roar before he jumped off the bed and ran out of Baryl's house.

At the mountain's summit, Simon dashed out, his eyes fixed on the majestic expanse of mountainsbefore him. The warm sunlight embraced his body.

He could feel the exhilarating surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, a sensation he had beenmissing for far too long.

He had been frustrated for too long.

However, Simon's delight didn't last for long. He suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did my poison get cured suddenly? Did Marlington King finally take action?

That thought merely served to increase Simon's confusion.

He had only met Marlington King once, but he knew the latter well.

No one could make the king change his mind.

However, Marlington King ended up saving me. What made him change his mind? Also, where isMauve?

Simon's confusion heightened.

Right then, Baryl stepped out of his neighbor's house with a bowl of medicinal broth.

Simon turned to look at Baryl, who gave him the bowl. “Eat up. This will aid in your recovery.”

Instead of accepting the bowl, Simon said, “I've recovered completely, so I won't be needing this.” Hepaused before asking, “What exactly happened? Where is Mauve?”

Baryl gazed at him and replied, “Some things are best kept a secret. Since you've recovered, youshould leave.”

As Simon's breath grew heavy, a realization struck him. The sudden recovery he experienced musthave been connected to Mauve.

Marlington King, who initially refused to assist him, eventually intervened. It became clear to Simon thatMauve must have made a sacrifice to influence the king's decision and ensure his recovery.

Simon's eyes turned red as he felt a stab of pain in his heart. It felt that he had traveled back in time tothe summer when Olive died in front of his eyes.

He couldn't save her back then, so he refused to let Mauve sacrifice this time.

Ignoring Baryl, he made his way to Heavenly Cave.

“Simon!” Baryl called after him. He quickly ran forward to block Simon's path.

“Move!” Simon snapped coldly.

Baryl explained, “You'll never make it inside. Mauve has sacrificed a lot for you, so don't make hersacrifices go to waste.”

“What did she sacrifice?” Simon demanded.

Baryl's eyes dimmed. He looked up and disclosed, “Mauve has made an agreement with MarlingtonKing to become the perpetual Holy Maiden of Sacred Maiden Cave. She has pledged never to venturebeyond the cave's boundaries, dedicating herself to preserving her purity and providing her blood assustenance for the holy king silkworm. This was the condition set forth for his intervention to ensureyour rescue.”

Simon's body trembled when he learned the truth. Gritting his teeth, he declared, “I must take her awaywith me.”

Baryl made a desperate attempt to sway him, “Don't be stupid. Marlington King and his followers aren'tformidable solely due to their cultivation abilities. It's their parasitic skills that make them truly terrifying.By entering the cave, you're only inviting doom upon yourself. Furthermore, even if you were to die,Mauve would still be condemned to eternal imprisonment, tasked with sustaining the holy kingsilkworm. Isn't it unbearably cruel to subject her to such a fate?”

Simon's eyes reddened as he retorted, “Are you oblivious to her tender age? She's being forced into alifetime of seclusion all for the sake of a wretched Parasite King. How could we tolerate such cruelty?Humans are above all beings, and yet she is expected to sacrifice herself for a mere parasite?”

“But Marlington King doesn't think that way,” Baryl replied. “It was consensual. You've been saved, soMauve must keep her word.”

Simon remained resolute, his determination was unwavering. “I will not abandon her. Even if it costsme my life, I will rescue her,” he declared firmly. With a forceful shove, he pushed Baryl aside anddashed toward Heavenly Cave as swiftly as a lightning bolt.

There weren't many things Simon cared about.

When he was nine, he was forced to kill Coco, his pet bulldog.

When he was eighteen, he watched Olive die after getting gang raped.

Every time something like that happened, he could only watch on as there was nothing he could do.

He refused to feel helpless this time when Mauve was in danger.

He was determined to go to any lengths, even if it meant laying down his own life in his unwaveringquest to save her.

Shortly after, Simon arrived at the entrance of Heavenly Cave.

This time, two other disciples were guarding the entrance. They were both shocked to see Simon ashis eyes were unnaturally red.

“You're Simon Sandler, right? Are you here to see Marlington King?” one disciple asked.

Simon nodded without a word.

The disciple told him, “Okay, you can head in. Marlington King has instructed us to allow you entry.”

Simon strode into the cave and soon arrived at Marlington King's stone chamber.

Marlington King looked the same. He glanced at Simon before flashing a smile. “You seem to berecovering well.”

Simon declared firmly, “I have come to take Mauve with me. Once she is safe, I will bring anotheryoung lady to take her position. I advise you not to compel me to resort to force.”

Marlington King said calmly, “That's impossible. We've made a deal. Since she got what she wanted,she would have to keep her word. I cannot accept any other innocent young lady you attempt tosubstitute in her place.”

Rage ran red through Simon's brain as he declared, “You sly b*stard! I didn't plan on going on a killingspree, but you're forcing me to do it. I shall ask you one last time. Will you release her or not? If youdon't, I'll kill everyone within Heavenly Cave!”

Marlington King responded calmly, “Well, I don't think you're not capable of doing that.”

Simon snorted icily and said, “Very well. You believe I will engage in combat with you, huh? You clearlydon't know me well.” With that, he disappeared from the stone chamber in a flash.

Marlington King could barely hide his shock. He had spent his entire life in the stone chamber, focusingon nurturing parasites. Naturally, he lacked the cunning streak displayed by Simon. He assumed Simon

would engage in a fair and impartial battle with him, but he was wrong.

Back then, when Simon fought against Jonathan on the deserted island at Norham, he displayed hisexceptional prowess by nearly single-handedly wiping Jonathan and his forces out. This incidentserved as a testament to his remarkable abilities and combat skills.

Outside the stone chamber, Simon bumped into the two disciples.

Bursting into laughter, he grabbed one disciple and threw him to the wall, causing him to die on thespot.

Simon then bit another disciple's neck and sucked out a mouthful of blood.

Right then, Marlington King stepped out of his stone chamber. Seeing that, Simon threw the disciple'sbody at him.

“Sly b*stard, you're an expert on the Marlingtonian parasites. I know how capable you are. Do youseriously think I'll fight against you?” Simon sneered.

“I have taken the lives of only two disciples thus far. If you persist in holding Mauve captive, I will nothesitate to take more lives,” he warned. “Let us see if the lives of your disciples hold greater value toyou, or if the holy king silkworm takes precedence.”

Marlington King broke into a cold sweat. “Okay. I'll take you to Mauve.”

Simon told him, “You must release her, and I want to see her in one piece. Do you think I'll fall for yourtrick?”

Marlington King said gravely, “It is not a matter of my refusal to release her. At present, the holy kingsilkworm thrives on the nourishment of Mauve's blood. If she were to leave Holy Maiden Cave, bothshe and the holy king silkworm would meet their demise.”

Simon's body quivered uncontrollably. His fury surged as he vehemently proclaimed, “You despicableold scum! Everyone in Heavenly Cave shall meet their maker!”

“Wait a minute!” Marlington King interjected hastily when he saw how upset Simon was.

Simon glared at Marlington King, his eyes red with fury. He had exercised restraint for far too long, andhis patience was wearing thin. If Marlington King didn't provide a solution, he would die along witheveryone today.

After killing Coco and watching Olive die, Simon refused to feel helpless for the third time.

I won't let that happen!

Marlington King explained, “If a man is willing to become one with her, there's a chance he might attractthe holy king silkworm to enter his body. That's the only way to save Mauve.”

“How can I be sure that you're telling the truth?” A complicated look crossed Simon's eyes.

Marlington King shrugged. “I won't lie to you. I can't help it if you don't believe me and choose to killeveryone inside Heavenly Cave.”

Simon's gaze bore into Marlington King. He knew the latter somewhat well.

Despite holding the esteemed title of a king and possessing expertise in parasites, coupled with aformidable level of cultivation, Marlington King proved to be naive. His assumption that Simon wouldengage in a fair and honorable confrontation revealed that.

It was unlikely that he would lie. However, there was a possibility that he might learn from his mistakeand set Simon up.

“I can believe you if you agree to take this Maleficent Lethal Pill,” Simon announced as he pulled aSpirit Gathering Pill from his spatial ring.
