Chapter 1490 The Secret In The Dungeon
The Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough was packed to the rafters. Many sects had no choice but to seek
out the Warriors Alliance when their efforts to meet with Mr. Sanders ended up fruitless. Ryker and
Edgar were also among the crowd.
Initially, Edgar wasn’t at all worried. He had the confidence to deal with the black-robed man as long as
he could absorb Renee’s powers and obtain her armor.
Alas, he couldn’t procure her armor even after using all sorts of methods in the past two days. Her
armor had already fused with her person, so it could only be removed when it materialized.
He couldn’t do anything to her before acquiring the armor, so he could only come up with another
solution.
The fact that rumors were abounding that the black-robed man was Gilbert terrified him to the core.
While he had never witnessed the latter’s capabilities in person, he had heard about them from Ryker.
Back then, the Deragon family had taken part in the effort to arrest Gilbert, and Ryker had been among

If Gilbert had really returned, the Deragon family would be in grave danger. Therefore, Ryker had
brought Edgar over to seek the Warriors Alliance out and discuss a countermeasure with Zion.
“President Zeigler, the martial arts world of Jadeborough is now in great trouble. The authorities are
turning a blind eye to things, so the Warriors Alliance must step forward and do something. If the
Warriors Alliance were to capture the black-robed man, I believe many of the sects would return to the
alliance!” Ryker said to Zion.
“I’ve already sent out men to investigate, but the black-robed man’s movements are unpredictable,
without a set pattern. That makes things very difficult for me,” Zion admitted with a frown.
“The recent rumors claim that the black-robed man is Gilbert, President Zeigler. Do you think that’s
possible?” Edgar questioned.
“No.”
Zion shook his head firmly.
“How could you be so sure, President Zeigler?” Edgar couldn’t help wondering at the man’s confidence.
“Back then, we witnessed him falling off the cliff with our own eyes. Besides, a dead body was later
found beneath the cliff. Although it had been mauled by wild beasts to the point that it was beyond
recognition, it must have been him. How could a person who had been dead for over twenty years
return to life? It’s just an empty rumor to incite panic in the martial arts world. I can guarantee you that
it’s absolutely not him. That aside, the black-robed man is still beneath Gilbert despite his immense
capabilities. At that time, Gilbert was already a Fifth Level Martial Arts Marquis. Now that twenty years
have passed, he would’ve long since attained Greater Martial Arts Marquis or even Martial Arts Saint.
Think about it. Will a Martial Arts Saint need to act all mysterious if he’s back for revenge?” Zion
analyzed.
As Edgar listened, he nodded every so often, feeling that it indeed made sense.
“Who could it be if it wasn’t Gilbert?”
Edgar was confounded. Ryker, likewise, wore a frown, having no idea as to the identity of the black-
robed man and his reason for going on a killing spree.
After getting them both to leave, Zion strode into the dungeon at Warriors Alliance.

A black figure was sitting in a corner in the depths of the dungeon with a bowl of bright red blood in
front of him.
“It’s been over twenty years. I didn’t expect people to mention you once again and even think that
you’re back for revenge. What a joke! Little do they know that you’ve been here for twenty-plus years.
How could you possibly get out?” Zion muttered before the black figure.
It turned out that in the depths of the dungeon was the monster back then, Gilbert. After he fell off the
cliff, the Warriors Alliance sent men to rescue him and placed an unrecognizable body in his place to
dupe others.
“I’ve also done quite a lot for you in the past twenty-plus years. Otherwise, how could you possibly
have mobilized the Demonic Cultivators who had gone into hiding with your capabilities?” Gilbert
drawled.
Then he downed the bowl of blood in front of him.
Zion said nothing further but spun on his heel and left.
