“Heh. I never thought much about it because I’m not that kind of person!”Fane gave a wan smile and wheeled around, stalking off.Astonishment flashed across Daniella’s eyes as she watched his silhouette.Many men fawned over her looks. The geniuses from the Cabello family and other families all clamored to catch a glimpse of her.That man was no brigand, but logically speaking, he should have at least asked for her name or show some semblance of attraction toward her. Yet he just turned around and left. Dissatisfaction roiled in her.She quickly chased after him. “Hey, aren’t you curious what my name is?” she said to Fane.Fane turned his head to look at her. “Why should I?” he replied impassively.“I…”Daniella was furious. The man was completely clueless. Did he not consider trying to show some interest in a beauty like her?She rolled her eyes at him. “I’m Daniella,” she said. “You?”“Oh. My name is Fane!”After he said that, he walked out. At this moment, the Woods fami
When Mason heard this, he grinned at Fane. “Young Master Fane, she said it herself—you truly don’t know how to recognize a rose,” he said. “Since you saved her in such a dashing manner, of course, she has an interest in you now. How cruel of you to reject her request so outrightly!”Another elder from another branch family also chipped in, “That’s right. You two look as though you were a match made in heaven. Just agree with her request. The third daughter of the Cabello family is famed for her beauty. How could you decline her just like that?”Daniella’s cheeks reddened as the two spoke that way. She rolled her eyes at Mason. “What are you talking about? I have no other way out, okay? I won’t have access to my chi for these few days, since I ate those Chi Dispersing Pills. If I run into any danger while I’m alone, I won’t be able to fight back at all.”Here, Daniella paused before she continued, “That’s why I must stay at your place for two or three days. I’ll leave once my chi com
“I’m not getting on your back!”Daniella rolled her eyes at Mason. She had no inclination toward his hulky figure.Her eyes sidled toward Fane. She pressed her lips together. “You–you carry me down!” she said bashfully.Fane did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, it was true that they were making slow progress with her tagging along.He could only walk toward her, huffing. “I can carry you down, but you owe me a favor then. Got it?”“Got it. I’ll definitely return the favor. How could a man be so petty? It’s your privilege to be able to carry a beauty like me!”Daniella scuttled toward Fane’s back and hopped on. “Let’s go, Young Master Fane!”“Let’s go. What are all of you staring at?”Fane roared when everyone was staring at him. Only then did they continue downward.Meanwhile, Daniella’s heart was pounding wildly in her chest.Once she knew that he was not a brigand and that he was the young master of the Woods family, her impression of him grew more positive. It me
“Of course. You’re my savior. So I’ll definitely find a way to repay you!”Warmth spread in Daniella’s chest. She thought of something and quickly added on: “But don’t you let your mind wander everywhere. I won’t repay you with my body. Hmph. Anyone who wishes to go after me must prove that they’re worthy. Got it?”“You’re really confident, aren’t you?”Fane did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was true that she was not half-bad looking, and the light fragrance emanating from her was intriguing, but Fane was confident in his self-restraint.“Hmph. I know all you men speak one thing and then think another. You’re definitely thinking of something, what with a beauty like me splayed all over your back now!“I’m telling you, it’s your privilege to carry me. So many men wish to do so but don’t have the chance!”Daniella was as proud as ever, as though she were a princess high above the clouds.“You’re saying that it’s my privilege to carry someone as heavy as you? Heh. I’ll be mo
If there were third or fourth-grade pills, that meant that the third or fourth-grade spirited grass existed. If that was the case, where were these spirited grass? Spirited grass or pills like that would likely cause a person of the true god status to combust with energy. This meant that the legends of the ultimate god status may very well be true.“That’s right. My father said that the third and fourth-grade pills exist which means that the ultimate god status might be real.”Daniella did not seem to have many walls around her, and she spoke easily with Fane, “That’s why the tome is a true treasure to the First Elder. He’d study it with every moment of spare time he has, trying to dissect its secrets. And sometimes he goes looking for true treasure, to see if he can find the third-grade spirited grass described in the tome!”“Have his searches been fruitful?”Fane’s eyes brightened when he heard that. He asked her a question.Daniella gave a bitter smile. “Zilch. He’s got nothing
“The Cabello family truly is strong!”Fane gave a wan smile and threw the words out in a callous manner.Yet he was internally speechless. It was evident that the First Elder treasured the tome more dearly than his own children—if he had any—and wanted to find the way to break into the ultimate god realm within its pages. There was no way that Fane was going to be able to borrow the tome for a split second. If he did not even allow the third daughter of the Cabello family to take a peek at it, never mind him, a complete outsider.That was why the only way around that was to get his hand on the tome.Although Fane was still at the beginning stage of the true god status, he felt that it would not be a problem to kill someone at the intermediate stage of the true god status. He could probably give someone at the advanced stage of the true god status a good run for his money.However, the First Elder of the Cabello family was at the peak of the true god status. Even among the fighters
Unexpectedly, Daniella immediately retorted, “If something happens to you and my purity is tainted by someone, it’ll still be a great loss to me, even if you kill that someone. Besides, not a single one of the lives of your branch families is worth mine. Hmph! At any rate, I’ll be tagging you around for these few days. I only trust you now. I’ll leave once my chi returns to me!”“Fine. It doesn’t matter to me anyway!”Fane brought her along and instructed Mason to arrange a room at the place he was staying for Daniella.In the afternoon, Mason and the others had categorized their spoils of war—including spirited grass—and lay it before Fane, allowing him to choose whichever objects he liked.After he studied the items for a while, Fane only chose a few stalks of medicine that would be suited to make chi pills.“There’s plenty of spirited grass here, Young Master. Why don’t you take more?”Their First Elder blurted after he noticed that Fane had picked out so few items.“No need.
“Challenge me?” Dawson Woods widened his eyes and was obviously not convinced. “Nikini Woods, turns out I’m not as good as Amos Woods in your opinion. Are you looking down on me?”Nikini immediately smiled in embarrassment. “No. Brother Dawson, both you and Brother Amos have similar fighting prowess and your combat power is almost the same too. To be honest, I have to choose one even though I really don’t know which one of you to choose. Hence, I choose you!”Dawson glared at Nikini. “Young girl, I’m sure you feel that I’m not as good as Amos and that I’m a weakling, right?”Dawson directly walked toward a slightly empty area and raised his eyebrows at Nikini provocatively. “If that’s the case, Sister Nikini, I will not hold back. After all, the chance of entering the Woods main family is very important for me. It’s relayed to me or my parents’ destiny!”“Who’s waiting for you to hold back? It’s meaningless for me to win the competition if you’re holding back!” Nikini soon arrived
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
