"We'd understandably run for our lives. From what you say, do you mean that my junior brother shouldn’t have escaped? Should he have died with Frank? Don’t you think that what you've said is vexatious?"Nelson addressing Theo’s vexatious actions straightforwardly made Theo's expression sour. He scoffed and spoke while raising his chin, "Do you think that nobody saw what happened? I purposely asked the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciple, Heath Vay, about what happened. He saw that you had the opportunity to resolve the opponent’s attack before you escaped, but you didn't. You left my Junior Brother Frank there to endure the attacks that caused his death, all while you escaped!"The corner of Fane’s mouth slightly twitched when he heard this. Fane was so angry that he could not muster words. What he did, after all, was definitely justified. Fane was about to refute when Griffin spoke up mockingly, "Junior Brother Fane, what you did is wrong. How could you frame others when you wis
Griffin’s sudden mention that Fane once slandered him immediately caused the others to misunderstand that Fane did this in the past. Fane raised his brows. "Senior Brother Griffin, I’m impressed that you can simply make things up. Since you mentioned that I slandered you, can you tell everyone what lies I've said and my slanders toward you?"Nelson exhaled helplessly. He knew that if he allowed the matter to continue developing, it would not be beneficial for both Fane and the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.Thus, he stretched out his hand and stopped Fane from speaking before he hurried toward Griffin. He then warned Griffin with a cold expression, "Junior Brother Griffin, please pay attention to your words. Since the matter has nothing to do with you, leave it to me and Junior Brother Fane."Griffin said nothing previously because he was afraid of Nelson and the punishment from the pavilion. However, it meant nothing for him to make some comments at this point as Fane offended outsider
There was something wrong with the entire matter. Fane suddenly looked up and said to Theo, "You mentioned that Senior Brother Heath saw the entire thing, yes? He was indignant about what happened and had told you everything, am I right?"Theo’s gaze darted around, but he soon calmed down and nodded. "That’s true. Junior Brother Heath felt that you had gone too far. Nobody can accept such despicable actions, which was why he told me everything out of righteousness! Don’t try and argue that Junior Brother Heath didn't see anything. Although he was already badly pounded at that time, he wasn't that troubled at all. The others were focused on their respective fights, but he had time to observe everybody while you were fighting. That was how he had witnessed how despicable you were!"Theo raised his head and chest as he spoke so righteously, as though he was a messenger of justice who was rebuking Fane, the despicable and shameless villain. Fane chuckled and started laughing when he
Heath could not have spoken righteously on Frank's behalf just like what Theo said, as Heath abhorred Frank. This all merely seemed hilarious to Fane. On top of that, he remembered that Heath was unable to stay awake after being wounded by the masked man. How could he be in the mood to look at other things at that moment?Although Fane was in a battle at that time, he still paid attention to the changes around him. It seemed untrue that Heath saw everything that happened! It was true that the others were deeply immersed in their battles, but Theo managed to describe their battle accurately. This meant that somebody described what happened to Theo, but that person was neither Heath nor Edric!Fane suddenly raised his head to look at Theo and smiled coldly. He opened his mouth and said, "I'm impressed! How can you do this when Frank was your clan brother from the same pavilion…" Theo was stunned when he heard this and the people around them were also stunned. All of them stared at Fa
Fane paused after he finished saying this. "Another person saw the entire process!"Theo’s expression changed, and he was about to interrupt Fane when Fane beat him to it. "It’s the person who tried to kill us at that moment!" He pointed at the direction of the masked man when he finished speaking. "That eldest senior brother from the Corpse Pavilion who has on a mask had been standing by the side and observing the entire battle after he wounded Senior Brother Heath! He must be the one who told you about everything!"What Fane said was like a wake-up call to everyone present. Although Fane was disloyal and unrighteous, he was on the weaker side. Fane sneered and continued, "The Corpse Pavilion was the one who wanted to kill us, and Frank died in the hands of the Corpse Pavilion’s disciples. You're causing us trouble instead of accusing the Corpse Pavilion! Is this your loyalty and righteousness?"Everyone there had a sudden realization when they heard what Fane said. Fane was right:
Byron glanced at Theo in disdain. He loathed people who cooperated with their enemies for measly gains. He smiled coldly and commented, "A person who stresses about getting justice for his junior brother is actually cooperating with the true murderer who killed his junior brother. You’re a truly unjust, wicked person! How dare you mention that I’m helping somebody else? Ask your own conscience about your actions!"Almost everybody looked at Theo in disgust after Byron's remark. With Byron’s testimony and Theo’s guilty expression, everybody knew the truth."I thought that he was genuinely infuriated about his junior brother’s death. Turns out, he’s here to frame others because of some benefits!""He dared not say anything when facing the true murderer who killed his junior brother, and he even cooperated with that person! He’s here to frame Fane because he thinks that it’s easy to frame somebody in the intermediate stage of the innate level. He’s such a despicable person for framing
Fane thanked Byron solemnly, but Byron waved his hand in dismissal. "This is nothing. I did this because I can't stand Theo’s behavior."The two of them exchanged some words before Fane sent Byron away.Time passed by slowly, and after an hour, the aged voice could be heard again, "Time’s up! Everybody can board the Divine Void Slope now! You'll fight the Divine Void Warrior when you’re on the Divine Void Slope. The criteria to judge your failure is when you lose your capabilities to fight or when you admit defeat. Once you lose to the Divine Void Warrior, you won't be able to continue climbing up the Divine Void Slope." The evaluation standard was quite fair as everybody could proactively admit defeat if they felt that they would be badly wounded should they resume their battle."Alright! Those who wish to climb up the Divine Void Slope, you can start now. Those who do not wish to do so can just stay at the bottom." After the announcement, the crowd started to burn with excitemen
The masked man stood three meters behind Fane and eyed him sharply.However, Fane replied indifferently. "Many people wish to kill me, but those people usually end up dead.""Hmph! Such arrogance!" The masked man scoffed, one that sounded as though it boomed from his chest.Fane ignored the situation behind him and stepped onto the Divine Void Slope. The moment both his legs stepped on the ground, he felt an unseen wave of energy covering his entire body. He was unable to move as the energy was like hardened cement. Seconds later, he moved speedily and appeared at the northern side of the slope.After his body was able to move freely, Fane still felt a vague blocking force around him. Although he stood in the same space as everybody else, they were in individual spaces. Of course, Fane was not the only one who felt this.Bang! Bang!Sounds of something smashed were heard from far away, and Fane saw a disciple from the Corpse Pavilion raise his mace and continuously waved it at th
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.
