“You mean that the other first-class aristocratic families that entered Bright Snow Mountain with the Hunts didn’t get the stone ball either, and no one knows which aristocratic family got it?” The news shocked Joel for a moment before the joy settled in his system. “If it’s not with first-class aristocratic families, it might be in the hands of someone from the second or third-class aristocratic families. If that’s the case… Haha! What good news! We still have the chance to ask around, and I believe news of who has it will be revealed. We’ll then take it from whoever has it once we know who has the stone ball!”Joel thought about it and asked, “By the way, how about the Woods family? Which dangerous area did they go to? Any news about their situation?”“Members from the Woods family, Cabello family, Ximenes family, Lanaster family, and several smaller families went to Black Windy Island together. I think the Woods family didn’t want to enter the same dangerous area as the Hunt famil
All of a sudden, a young man from the Woods family rushed in and reported, “Master, Young Master Fane, several people are...are outside, wishing to have an audience with you.” “Who’d visit our Woods family at this hour?” Nash frowned before he questioned the young man who bore the announcement, “Only several people came?”“Yes, and there are only five or six of them, yet they’re acting awfully mysterious!” responded the man with an awkward smile. Fane frowned as he immediately continued asking, “Mysterious? What do you mean by that?”“They wear large bamboo raincoats and all of them have hats that cover themselves. It seems as though they don’t want to be recognized,” the man explained.Deliberating his thoughts, Nash then waved his hand. “Go and bring them in.”Once the man who made the report left, the First Elder immediately said, “It must be somebody from other families who wishes to ask about the stone ball. They must be here to ask if Young Master Fane managed to study an
Nash was shocked. He then said, “We received news a couple of days ago that the first-class aristocratic families that went to the Bright Snow Mountain did not obtain the stone ball and we have no idea who from which family obtained the ball. Who would have expected that somebody from your Hemperly family got it!”Nash frowned as he paused. He then continued, “However, how can our Woods family help you? You guys are ballsy for coming here with only a couple of people. Aren’t you afraid that we will rob you?”Darcy laughed before he spoke again, “To be frank, Master Woods, we’ve thought of this possibility. My son, Paul, and I had discussed at length before we agreed unanimously that your Woods family is the most reliable family right now. The reason we come to you and not other ancient clans is because we don’t know them well, what if they snatch our stone ball away?”Darcy paused momentarily before he continued to speak, “As for the Hunt family and others, they obviously would not
Fane examined the items for some time before a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. “Haha… Master Hemperly, there isn’t a lot of spirited grass here but they are attractive enough. Hence, I agree to your terms!”The members of the Hemperly family relaxed when they saw that Fane had agreed to their suggestion.Master Hemperly immediately stood up and gestured with his hands to Fane as he voiced out his appreciation. “Thank you, Young Master Fane. If that’s the case, I shall leave my son and the others here with a reassured mind. I believe that they will be safe as Young Master Fane promised us!”“Haha… I can only assure you that nothing would happen to them while they are with the Woods family as we will try our best to protect them!” Fane laughed before he continued speaking slowly. “However, there’s nothing I can do if they leave the Woods family by themselves. After all, we can’t restrict them with a rope, right?”“That is true, that is true. We promise to not simply run a
After their accommodations were arranged, Master Hemperly left that afternoon. As for Young Master Hemperly and his other elders, they stayed in the Woods family to continue studying the stone ball in peace.Certainly, Fane also went over in the evening to have a chat with them and asked about the situation after they went to the Bright Snow Mountain.It turns out that everybody acted on their own after they reached Bright Snow Mountain. After encountering several dangers, Young Master Hemperly had also wandered away from the other members of the Hemperly family. Luckily, he had high fighting prowess and managed to spot the ancient tree in the end after he continued the journey on his own.He was obviously not an opponent of the ancient tree and many other masters also discovered the ancient tree at the same time. All of them fought the ancient tree individually and many died.In the end, a master from the Skies Pavilion that was in the peak stage of the true god-level finally obta
“By the way, where’s Ben? I’ve seen him training recently and it looks like he’s working hard. He even asked for two pills from me two days ago!” Fane soon thought of Ben and asked curiously.“He’s not bad as he’s already a seventh-grade grandmaster. He has been working even harder when he saw that I've broken through to the initial stage of the semi-god level. He even said that he’s gonna catch up to you as you can’t train right now and is waiting for us!” Selena smiled and glanced at Fane flirtatiously before she continued to speak. “Honey, I've never dreamt of breaking through to the initial stage of the semi-god level! Apart from my talents, I have to thank you for constantly cultivating pills for me to break through so quickly!”“This is all because of your hard work. Even if you have great talents and resources, your fighting prowess would not breakthrough by itself if you did not train hard!” Fane said with a smile.At this moment, an old man rushed out from the nearby houses
The members of the Hunt family led those from the Lagorio family, the Church family, and even those from the Norman family to the Woods family residence. “Fane, what should we do? There are so many of them! This is worrisome as they seem to be here to cause trouble!" Kevin had a darkened look on his face after he looked at the situation in front of him. Although not all members of the other party were present but those who came were masters. There were around one hundred thousand people from those four families combined."There's no need to be afraid! There's a lot of them but not many are in the peak stage of the true god level. Recently, many of our Woods family's members have broken through into the true god level. On top of that, some of my nine disciples have achieved the intermediate stage of the true god level and their combat power is incomparable!" Fane, however, smiled indifferently."They are so shameless. Aren't aristocratic families banned from taking action against ea
The facial expressions of the other three elders turned unsightly.At this moment, Paul put his hands behind his back and said, “We have no other choice. If there is a fight, whether it is because of us or due to the hatred between the Woods family and the other families, we should all step up and take the Woods family’s side and fight the others together with the Woods family! Only if we fight, there is hope for us to live. Even if we don’t want to, we have no other choice!” “But I’m afraid that it’s difficult to survive this fight. The Woods family’s alliances are not here. If the Hunt family were the only one here, the Woods family would be able to handle it. But…but there are four families here! Even worse, three of them are first-class aristocratic families! And they outnumbered us by many too. How is it possible for us to make it through?” The First Elder was obviously not confident and even felt regretful in his heart. Why did he choose to come to the Woods family and ask f
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.
