The man with a pointy chin showed up in front of Fane with three Corpse Pavillion’s disciples behind him. Luckily, the masked man was nowhere to be seen. The man with a pointy chin had been the one following the masked man previously, providing the masked man with ideas as he bad-mouthed about them. Who would have expected to bump into them not long after they left the valley?“Senior Brother Robin Mullins, are these the people our eldest senior brother is hunting?”Fane raised his brows. So, this man’s name was Robin Mullins. Under normal circumstances, nobody would address their clan brothers with their full name unless this person’s surname was everywhere. Their name might be easily confused with other clan brothers unless they addressed him with his full name.Robin had a sharp chin and looked like a treacherous court official, good at flattering others. Robin narrowed his eyes as he sized up Fane and the others, seemingly trying to spot some great secrets from them. Robin l
Derek had an immediate realization when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and slapped himself instantly. Of course, his slap was nowhere harsh; it was out of realization, too. A smile crawled to his face. “Agh, what a fool I am! You’re right. If news about this gets out, it won’t benefit us at all. These people aren’t strong, and we alone will be sufficient in handling them.”Dudley and Damian jumped on the bandwagon and said flattering words, much to Robin’s pleasure. His cold expression was nowhere to be seen after that. “You guys are thinking of notifying the eldest senior brother when these are just a couple of losers. The eldest senior brother will say we’re losers if we trouble him with this. Three of them are in the final stage of the innate level while the other one is in the initial stage, and another useless one who’s in the acquired level. On top of that, one of them in the final stage of the innate level was badly wounded previously. Even if there were only three of
Fane replied without turning around to look at them, “So, do you think that we should have chosen to stay inside instead? That way, we would not have suffered any losses, right?” There was no change in Fane’s expression when he spoke but anybody smart enough could hear the anger in Fane’s words. Jed was quick to judge. He was full of praises when things were going smoothly but he was not one to hold back judgment whenever something bad was happening.Jed dared not raise his head to look at Fane. However, there was a hint of not being convinced in his lowered eyes. “I did not say so. I just feel that we came out in a hurry. If we were able to stay inside for a couple more days, such issues would not have happened.”Fane humphed lightly and he continued to stare forward with his eagle-like eyes. “Then why didn’t you say this earlier on? You kept quiet previously but you speak more than anybody else when something has happened.” Fane had never been somebody who liked to talk. However, t
In the end, Albion was the one who spoke. He lowered his voice and spoke as he narrowed his eyes. “Brother Fane, what do you mean by saying that?”Fane raised his eyebrows and did not plan to continue wasting time talking to them. He replied confidently, “Leave that guy in the middle to me and you guys can focus on holding the others off.” Fane pointed at Robin, who stood in the middle. His lengthy finger shone under the remaining light from the sun and looked powerful instead of showing off its delicateness.Robin almost wondered if he has been experiencing hallucinations. If not, how did this guy dare say such absurd words? He was actually daring enough to challenge Robin for a duel. A person in the initial stage of innate level with clothes that obviously indicated his position as a disciple in a third-grade pavilion was actually daring enough to challenge him, someone, who was in the final stage of the innate level. On top of that, he was already in the completion stage of his in
He did not want all his clan brothers to die here, but when Fane said those words, both his expression and tone were calm. An unspeakable self-confidence filled his heart, and Albion could not help but wonder if Fane really possessed this kind of power. After thinking for a long time, he finally deigned to open his mouth. His voice was a little low but had an unquestionable tone to it. “We can do it but can you?”Jed’s hair stood on end when he heard the question. He turned to Albion and said, “Brother Albion, don’t tell me you’re seriously considering it? What is there except for death if we go head-on against those four who are in the final stage of innate level? Didn't you hear Robin when he said he will torture us? Everyone will eventually die but I want to die with dignity, not this way!”Albion stopped his nagging with a wave of his hand. He took a deep breath and then said, “I don’t actually know what to do. The best thing to do now is of course to retreat but do you think
Robin smiled so much that the corners of his lips touched his ears. He winked at the people behind him, and the three brothers stepped forward to face Jed and the others. It looked as if they were there to prevent them from escaping.Robin cracked his neck and shook his wrist; the joints made a crackling sound. “Okay! Since you want to fight with me so much, I will show you the true meaning of power!”After saying this, he felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing. He turned to the three brothers behind him and said, “You guys make sure those three don’t run away. I’ll take down this kid single-handedly. I’m not taking this seriously of course, but this kid must be taught a lesson!”Immediately, a golden light flashed in Robin’s hand, and a five-feet-long staff appeared in his palm out of thin air. The five-feet-long staff exuded bright golden light and there were mysterious and antiquated runes carved all over it.His choice of weapon surprised Fane. After all, he did not look
Fane arched his eyebrow. He quickly put some distance between Robin and himself. His opponent was a melee-fighter while Fane was better at long-range fighting so he would be safe as long as he did not get too close to Robin.He quickly performed some hand seals again and the ten black daggers who were still suspended mid-air parried with Robin’s long staff. The golden light and gray-black light collided with each other once again. This time Fane used six gray-black daggers, putting him on even ground with Robin. Robin was breathing heavily and his face was flushed. He was feeling angrier than ever. His hands trembled as he looked at Fane with gritted teeth. He swung his staff to attack again, but all of his attacks were neutralized within a few seconds by the gray-black daggers. He became more and more shocked whenever his attack was blocked by the gray-black daggers. He was not the only one as the others were also watching with eyes wide open as if they had seen a ghost. The co
He clenched his staff tighter and began to infuse his true energy into it. The runes, from one end to the other, began to glow brightly. He then performed hand seals with his right hand. A non-human roar erupted out of his mouth as he unleashed balls of golden light, similar to those of fireflies, which then condensed behind his back. In a second, the golden lights took on the form of a gorilla with sharp fangs. Its lightbulb-like eyes shone brightly on everyone, making them dizzy. The light-gorilla stared vehemently at Fane as if wanting to swallow him whole. In the end, Robin had been forced into using his most powerful technique. “This technique could only be used after I have cultivated the earth mountain staff technique to the perfection level. Many people have died from this technique and soon you’ll be one of them!”His face then contorted savagely as he charged toward Fane. The light-gorilla behind him roared as he charged toward Fane too. Along the way, the light-gorilla
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.
