“About this...” Fane frowned and went deep in thought.Before Fane spoke, Austin said, “I have a suggestion, Brother Fane. Our place is Nine Armies, and I think that it’s best to have the word ‘nine’ in the name of our pavilion. What do you think?”Fane thought about it and said slowly, “My people and I entered this area to search for ways to break through into the ultimate god level. If you choose the word ‘nine’, we’ll choose the word ‘god’. How about this? Why don’t we call ourselves the Nine Gods Clan? What do you think?”Austin’s eyes lit up at Fane’s words, visibly satisfied.“Great! This is a great name!” Several fortress masters were incredibly proud of the suggested name.Austin took a step forward and announced, “Everybody, after discussing it, we’ve decided to call our pavilion, Nine Gods Clan. We hope that members of the Nine Armies can get along in harmony with the members who came from the abandoned world, just like a family, becoming a collective group in the future
“Haha! First Fortress Master, it doesn’t seem appropriate if I don’t vote for you as you’ve voted for me, even though you have magnificent fighting prowess.” Fane chuckled. This old man Austin was too hypocritical, and Fane’s mind was boggled at that.Nonetheless, it was a good thing that he kept stressing the power of a pavilion master. This old man would not see it coming when Fane got elected as pavilion master.Just as Fane predicted, the First Fortress Master’s members voted for him, and none of them voted for Fane.Austin coughed a little before saying, “Fane, I believe that some of your people are also qualified to vote. Why don’t you ask them to vote now?” The First Fortress Master felt somewhat sympathetic. After all, none of them voted for Fane.“Alright, then!” Fane nodded before gesturing to Alejandro and the others with his gaze.Soon, Alejandro and the others walked forward to vote. Naturally, there was no exemption, and all of them voted for Fane.After this round
After the members of the Whittemore Fortress voted, the fortress master of the Lavigne Fortress also walked forward and voted for Austin.Austin’s lips quirked into a small smirk at this. He believed that members of the Lavigne Fortress would follow their fortress master and cast their votes to him as long as they were smart enough.That was why it flabbergasted him when members of the Lavigne Fortress voted for Fane instead. Just like that, Fane’s vote had surpassed him instantly and was obviously more than his.Austin had a darkened expression on his face and did not know what to say.He thought it through and walked forward to remind everyone present, “Everyone, please look carefully and vote based on your wishes. The voting box for brother Fane is over this side, and this one is mine. Please line up nicely. The queue for the Lanson Fortress behind…”However, such a reminder was useless until the end. The members of the fortresses, apart from the fortress masters, voted for Fan
“Everyone, I now pronounce that Fane is the master of our new pavilion, Nine Gods Clan, and he has appointed me the assistant pavilion master! I hope that everyone will obey him and work hard together to strengthen our pavilion!” announced Austin as he walked forward. “Let us now invite the Nine Gods Clan’s pavilion master, Pavilion Master Fane Woods, to speak!”Everybody applauded thunderously, especially those who followed Fane from the abandoned world. They were overjoyed, despite not knowing how Fane managed to have become the new pavilion master and how he won the votes of the other fortresses.Fane walked two steps forward and said loudly, “The assistant pavilion master is right: we’re a family from now on. As the new pavilion has just been established, we’ll make unitary tokens and disciple clothes for everybody. Of course, I think that everyone can choose if they want to don these clothes, but I hope that everyone can bring their tokens along whenever they leave the clan.”F
Austin’s expression contorted in terror at this news. The pavilion had just been formed, but before he could enjoy his new position as the assistant pavilion master, men from the Blood Stalwart Pavilion were coming their way.“We’re done for!” An elder who had just been appointed was just as frightened, and it showed visibly through his darkened expression.The overall combat power of the Nine Gods Clan had greatly increased and they had more people who were in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, but the Blood Stalwart Pavilion had two masters who were in the Third-grade soul-penetrating level and three who were in the First-grade soul-penetrating level. This pavilion had 170 to 180 thousand people, and many of them were in the ultimate god level. How could they defeat this army?“Everybody, don’t panic!” Fane was the only one who remained calm and quickly asked Austin, “Assistant Pavilion Master, do you know the specific situation of the Blood Stalwart Pavilion? We might be a
‘He’s really in the First-grade soul-penetrating level!’ Austin took a deep breath at the sight of Fane. Fane was only in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level previously, and Austin estimated that it was exceptional for this guy to breakthrough into the Eighth-grade ultimate god level even if he trained hard recently. Nonetheless, he was no match for the masters in the Third-grade soul-penetrating level.However, Fane, who was in front of him, was definitely in the First-grade soul-penetrating level.He was certain that if Fane wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as cutting vegetables.First Elder Kieran was exhilarated with this fact. “This is great! If our pavilion master can handle those two in the Third-grade soul-penetrating level. Leave the rest to us!”“Haha! If that’s the case, we’ll be able to fight this battle with them. F*ck! We’ll get lots of treasures after killing them for sure!” The second elder also flew up, and excitement was written all over his face. He wante
“Don’t worry; just go all out when you end them. I’ll give you a pill after the battle is over. I’ve reserved one for you here,” replied Fane with a bitter smile. “I won’t keep these benefits from you, my assistant pavilion master.”“Alright, alright! Thank you, Pavilion Master!” Austin was incredibly happy. He was very close to entering the Second-grade soul-penetrating level, so if Fane gave him a third-grade premium pill, not only would he break through into the Second-grade soul-penetrating level, but he might be able to break through into the Third-grade soul-penetrating level at once! He would be so much more comfortable being the assistant pavilion master by then.As he watched the members of the Blood Stalwart Pavilion coming their way, Fane then instructed, “Listen carefully: Me, the assistant pavilion master, First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder will be the one joining the battle later. The remaining five elders shall rest here. Take a look at the external area, and
“Both of you, our pavilion master isn’t lying to you—we are the Nine Gods Clan. He’s the pavilion master, and I’m now the assistant pavilion master of the Nine Gods Clan!” Austin grew increasingly arrogant when he thought about how the Nine Gods Clan would become one of the best main pavilions. He looked at the other party coldly as he spoke, “You guys should remember the name of our Nine Gods Clan. Our clan will take the world by storm!”“Pfft!” The people standing opposite them instantly broke out into laughter.One of the elders from the Blood Stalwart Pavilion even clutched his stomach as he smilingly mocked, “Haha! Are you trying to kill me with laughter? You plan to awe the world? You think that we don’t know about your situation right now? You’re the only one in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, and that guy is only in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level. On top of that, his combat power is only comparable to a master in the First-grade soul-penetrating level.”The eld
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.
