Elder Godfrey had a dark look on his face. "First Elder, are you not ashamed to say that? Do you think we're all children? If Fane's taken away by Skylar, he'll die!"He might even have to suffer through unspeakable torture. As the First Elder of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, you're helping someone else instead of standing on your own disciple's side…"The First Elder's expression turned grim. "Eleventh Elder, you shouldn't say that. Do you think I don't want to help Fane? Since he's already in the wrong, it won't be right for me to protect him."Those words were complete nonsense, and Elder Godfrey was furious to just hear them. He turned his head over and mentally decided for himself.If these people wanted to hand Fane over to Skylar, he would carve out a path for Fane to escape, even if he had to die for it. He was not willing to look at his disciple die just like that for others' sake!Skylar cackled loudly at the situation. At that moment, he knew that Fane's death was certai
Even though the transporter had been activated, it still needed a certain period. Fane calmly waited, and just as he expected, he was warped out right before Skylar attacked.He could hear gusts of wind blowing past his ears, and the scene in front of him constantly rotated. It was something that was only seen in long-distance transporters.Fane's frozen body could not move at all, which was not a great feeling.Just as he was wondering where he would be sent to, he heard a familiar elderly voice once more that said, "You're the most suitable one, so let me give you a final gift."Fane's breath hitched at the words.A strong wave of energy pierced through Fane's skin, seeping into his body. The energy was incredibly overwhelming.The moment it entered Fane's body, Fane immediately knew what that gift was. The power that was in Fane's body was called Formational True Energy.Formational True Energy was a real treasure even in the Divine Void World that could increase a person's s
"Don't worry, I've already distributed all the pills. Everyone's very thankful. I won't be returning to Mustard Seed in the next few days. Let me take care of you here, or I won't be able to relax."Fane let out a small sigh. Truth be told, he did not want to let Selene accompany him in this foreign place. After all, he was heavily injured, and he had no idea about this place they were in.If any dangers appeared, he was not even sure if he could keep himself safe, let alone Selene.Selene furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the energy within Fane. "Isn't the Formational True Energy meant to increase your level? Why does it look like you're at the initial stage of the innate level right now, like me?"Fane sighed as he explained, "Formational True Energy does increase my realm. I'm actually already at the late stage of the innate level, and I'm just one foot away from the spring solidifying realm. "It's just that Formational True energy was far too overwhelming. The internal i
Hearing this, Maynard answered somewhat anxiously, "Sir, it's best if we just keep to ourselves. We don't know where this person is from. If we're to genuinely meet anything later, he might end up harming us."Chandler sighed, nodding slightly as he suddenly had a resolved look in his eyes. "You're right. Sunset Valley hasn't been safe lately, and we're only going this way because we were tight on time."If anything happens, we'd at least have another helping hand. Even though it's hard to guess what's in the hearts of men, he's still a human. Most of the dangers on Sunset Valley are fiends. He probably won't harm us."Chandler's explanation did not really gave Maynard any peace, but Maynard could see that Chandler wanted to help the man, nonetheless."Sir, please think about this," Maynard insisted, still wary in his speech. "Even though he's a human just like us and might not attack us, he might stab us in the back to steal what we have when we're in a difficult spot."Chandler
The man offered a kind smile. "Sir, why are you at Sunset Valley? Are you being hunted by your enemies?"In that situation, Chandler would not have normally asked a stranger something so sensitive, but he was a bit anxious, so he did not hold back on his questions.Fane frowned, a hint of unhappiness flashed on his face. He nodded to Chandler. "There are no enemies after me. I just injured myself while training."Fane was not lying. The moment he said that, Fane clutched the staff in his hand and prepared to distance himself from the carriage.He had seen the level of the man in the carriage. At just this age, he was already at the late stage of the innate level. He should be a disciple of a clan. Even though he did not know if the man was friend or foe, Fane was not planning on making any friends.Looking at Fane about to leave, Chandler hurriedly said, "Please, wait. You're already injured. Inside Sunset Valley, there's a good chance you'll die."Fane raised an eyebrow, suddenl
Fane's words caused even Maynard to widen his eyes. The others looked at Fane with curious expressions, and Fane pursed his lips helplessly.Normally, he would have kept this to himself. However, the people in front of him were nowhere intimidatingly powerful. Even if they wanted to do something to him, they would not be able to stop Fane from escaping.That was why Fane was much more honest than usual. Maynard took a step forward and sized Fane up, as if wanting to notice something from Fane's clothes. It was obvious that he did not know anything about West Cercie State and could not tell.After a long time, he finally said, "Where were you from before?"Fane composed himself, having no intention of even explaining himself. "It's my first time in Middle Province."Maynard frowned at this and said, and somewhat sourly at that, "Don't worry, we're not planning on doing anything to you. Our master just wants to invite you to come with us. He just wants one more person around. It's v
Maynard did not get the chance to finish his rant, however, as Chandler interrupted him, saying, "It's fine, there's no real reason for him to tell us anyway. We're just companions going in the same direction. Sir, you're already injured. Come sit in the carriage with me, you'll have a smoother time to recuperate."Maynard was so frustrated that his whole body quaked. He shook his head helplessly, unable to stop Fane.After getting into the carriage, Fane chatted with Chandler for a while, finally figuring out where he was. Middle Province was very big, and it was the biggest landmass on the Hestia Continent.Middle Kingdom's territories were divided in a very casual manner. It was divided based on the area of influence of various clans. For instance, there were three clans in the south of Middle Province, so it was split into three territories.Fane's current position was closer to the Rosefinch Pavilion, so it was called the Rosefinch Pavilion's territory.Chandler seemed visibl
A one-sided slaughter would only serve to thoroughly anger the other party, and it would end up triggering a bloodbath. Even if they did not meet, they would actively seek out the other party to kill.Chandler could not help but be angered at the thought of this. "Those fighters can just turn around and leave, gloating after the slaughter, but those of us who are still growing and warriors end up suffering."They angered the fiends, and the ones who ended up being attacked are people like us. This path on Sunset Gorge used to be the safest way, and it usually only has a few beasts without any training."Even if we met any strong fiends, there wouldn't be any conflicts. Now, with the earlier slaughter, those fiends have all gone crazy. They've rushed outside from within and attacked any humans in sight!"Chandler let out a helpless sigh, frustration etched deeply into his face.Fane frowned. He could understand how Chandler felt.The carriage continued forward, and the two of them
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.
