Therefore, the huge problem that came out of Hendrick’s mouth was hardly anything inside his father’s eyes. “Listen. Those people…those people from the abandoned world have entered this place! And more than a hundred thousand of them had sneaked in! We have run into some of them and even talked to them. Besides…” Hendrick blabbered about what he encountered in a panic tone. He did not know where to start. “Wait. What? More than a hundred thousand of them?” Kye—Hendrick’s father—was truly taken aback by the number when he was told. If ten thousand of these outsiders entered this place, it would already be a huge mess, let alone a hundred thousand of them! When Kye regained his senses after hearing the shocking news, he interrupted Hendrick before he could finish his sentence. “Hendrick, this is a serious matter, you better be honest about it. Are you sure what you said is true?” Ella, who stood beside Hendrick, stepped forward and affirmed the statement. “Dad, it’s true! Bro
At this moment, everyone turned to Elder Cooper. Elder Copper smiled and then explained to the crowd, “Gentlemen, around six hundred thousand people have entered, of which three to four hundred thousand are people from the mainland, while the remaining two hundred thousand are those from the sea territory. I’m not sure how they found the way in but they are here now. Moreover, they have been here for around twenty days now. During these twenty days, some of the talented geniuses have broken through to the ultimate god realm.” “My goodness! They’re here for twenty days already? These outsiders, they’ve been here for so many days yet we only found out about it now!” “Ya, we’re too careless about this! It would be even harder for us to notice their presence if they just entered and left the forest in a short period of time.” “No. It’s impossible that we won’t be aware of them. After all, hundreds of thousands of them entered, and among them, there are different clans and families,
An old man from the fortress had his forehead knitted together as he breathed out a sigh of defeat. He was in a dilemma. “I agree. There are too many of them! Once we take our stand and defend them, the Bloodshed Clan will definitely come at us. And then once we get into a battle, we may be no match for them!” Another old man chimed in. He was used to the comfortable and spoon-fed life and did not want to go against the Bloodshed clan. “Hmm… How about this?” A middle-aged man gave the matter some thought before interrupting the conversation. “First Fortress Master, I do have an idea. Let’s pretend that we’re not aware of this matter, won’t that be good? After all, Young Master Arthur had only told Helena Cabello and her people that he would come back and discuss it with us, and only Helena and her gang knew about this. Besides, I think they should have been killed by the disciples of the Bloodshed Clan by now. Since they’re already dead, no one is going to testify against us! L
“What’s all the bickering about? I asked for all of you to come over to discuss, not to quarrel!” After listening for a while, the First Fortress Master reprimanded, his tone impatient. He did not expect there would be two opinions over this matter—one of them did not favor helping the outsiders, while another was in favor of helping those outsiders. Silence immediately took over the meeting room when the crowd saw that the First Fortress Master was furious. After a few seconds of silence, the master of the Lavigne Fortress expressed his thoughts to the First Fortress Master, “First Fortress Master, I truly think that we have held back for too long, and our current overall strength and power is not any weaker than theirs. If we help those people, they will certainly be on our side! Then, perhaps, it would become a chance for us to grow out of our current position. By that time, don’t you think the Bloodshed Clan will have to pay us some respect?” “Fortress master Lavigne, you h
“Yes, First Fortress Master, that guy might have already broken through into the second-grade or even third-grade ultimate god-level!” Ella thought briefly and answered. Austin went into thinking mode again, and then he finally spoke, “How about this? In my view, the Bloodshed Clan would not start a war against any of us recklessly, after all, if we and those outsiders fight against them, they would suffer a great loss even if they win the battle in the end. I don’t think that they are ready to pay such a heavy price. So, I think this isn’t something we can pretend that we don’t know!” “First Fortress Master, are you saying that we will help those people?” When Arthur heard Austin’s words, his spirit lifted and asked excitedly. Austin nodded his head in confirmation. “Let’s not talk about anything else. We should at least try to get those talented geniuses among the outsiders over. Moreover, they will definitely fight each other for the treasures and resources in the forest,
“Dad!”Ella felt unhappy though. When she thought about how Helena and Fane were pretty good people—especially when they saved her life—naturally, she wanted the people of the Nine Armies to help Fane and the others as soon as possible. That was why she could not help but step forward and tug on Kye’s sleeve, trying to give a hint in a soft voice.Still, Kye shook his head at both her and Hendrick. “This involves our fortress, and it involves the survival or destruction of the Nine Armies. I know that the young man called Fane saved you, Ella, and you want to help him immediately. But we can’t make decisions on our own toward such a huge matter. We need to have everyone discuss this and have the majority agree to it before anything!”When he spoke here, Kye paused for a while before continuing, “It’s evident that the First Fortress Master’s decision is the best for now. Everyone has agreed to it, so we need to agree to it too. Understand? If Helena and the others have already died
Apart from that, the Nine Armies looked like one big force on the outside but there was certainly some personal agenda among each fortress. If they were to really start a battle, members of certain fortresses would not give their all as they were afraid that many of their people would die.Hence, those who wanted to stay alive had to try their best in increasing their fighting prowess and raise everybody’s combat power. In that case, they would be able to react to sudden situations.It had to be mentioned that the martial art technique Fane obtained this time was an exceptionally good one. Even when he was not training during the daytime, the swirl in his body could continue rotating. This helped him to proactively absorb the Chi from the atmosphere which in turn slowly increase and stabilize his fighting prowess. If he sat down to train at night according to the martial art technique, the effect would definitely be better.‘According to the current situation, my level would complet
The First Elder did not hesitate for long. Soon, he gathered the other elders and the pavilion master.The pavilion master of the Bloodshed Clan and the elders had puzzled expressions on their faces. Some of them were busy training while some were prepared to go to sleep. They could not understand why the First Elder would gather them so late in the evening.“First Elder, what’s going on? It’s late at night and everybody is prepared to rest. Why did you wake us up?” The pavilion master looked at the First Elder and asked puzzlingly.He understood well that the First Elder was a person who acted extremely cautiously. Something huge must have happened if he suddenly gathered them so late at night. If not, based on the First Elder’s characteristics, he would not have done this! The First Elder smiled bitterly before he explained to the group of people there. “Pavilion master, I would not have gathered everybody here if it wasn’t a serious matter. The issue this time is really shockin
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.
