Fane turned and faced the wandering warriors. Raising his head, he loudly spoke, "Everyone, settle down. I know your concerns, so I'll be the one to lead the way into Black Sun City while you'll all follow."However, there's one condition you need to obey. If you turn and flee the moment anything happens, you'll make an enemy out of me, too. I've always kept true to my word, so you'd do well to heed them!"Fane thus walked toward the city gates alone.Everyone felt their hearts skipping a beat upon hearing Fane's words, and they believed his words were true. After all, someone as talented as Fane would be able to do anything he said he would.Everyone exchanged a complicated look with each other, but they no longer dared to discuss anything else at that moment.They looked on as Fane entered Black Sun City and, without much of a choice, followed after him. They were then met with a small plaza about 30 meters wide, and on the plaza were lights of various colors.Fane stood in th
Fane would have attacked the moment he spotted any disciple of the Unbreaking Pavilion on guard. Only that way would he be able to seize the initiative.However, he never expected the plaza to be so empty, and all he could see were the lights that he could not figure out the purpose. Where were the ten disciples? Could they have entered the lights?Rudy frowned and said, "Why do you think Philip was roping in people? What were they for?"Fane shook his head. He had thought that he would get an answer after entering, but his questions merely grew at this point.All of a sudden…"What are you doing?!" came a shout.Fane immediately turned to look and saw a green-robed wandering warrior stretching a finger to touch the lights outside the plaza.He was touching a white-colored light out of curiosity, not really wanting to really touch the light. The shout scared him, however, and his hand shook.His finger touched the white light before him in the process, and everyone immediately
Fane let out a light laugh as he explained, "You don't have to worry about how I determined what his specialization is just yet. All you need to know is that Bobby is safe."He's been transferred into the true energy field. If he's smart, he'll probably start training immediately."Fane then fell silent as he once more turned to look at the lights around him. Meanwhile, everyone began to ramble about the events.A few of them had asked Fane questions, but Fane ignored all of them as he merely observed the lights.Even though Fane was just speculating, he was their leader for the time being, so his words obviously carried some weight.If Fane was right, that Bobby was already in a true energy field training, would they not be at a disadvantage if they entered late? The wandering warriors were all eager to get started, knowing that they could be losing out.No one wanted to give up on any potential rewards!A short while after that, someone else finally took a step forward. He had
Fane weighed the situation carefully before he earnestly responded to Rudy, "You can't enter with me. If my judgment is correct, we'll end up in different spaces."You're an alchemist without much of a need to improve your strength. Once I enter, head out of the city and find a safe place to wait for me. If I'm not out within ten days, continue on your own."Fane then took out a sound transferring array from Mustard Seed and placed it into Rudy's palm. "I'll contact you with this when I'm out."Rudy touched the sound transfer array in his hand as nervousness bubbled at the pit of his stomach. "I want to—""There's a limit to how nosy you can be," interjected Fane before Rudy could continue. "With your skills, you won't be able to survive the moment you enter anywhere remotely dangerous. I've already said that the two of us will end up in different spaces. You won't be able to survive on your own!"Rudy's lips twitched at this, but he had to admit that Fane had a solid point. The o
Fane was on his guard as he approached the gates. Despite his wariness, he pushed open the door to the Purple Soul Hall.With a creak, the insides of the hall were fully displayed to Fane. In front of a massive stone plate were two men dressed in black clothes.Looking at the patterns on the men's clothes, it was obvious that the two of them were from the Unbreaking Pavilion. Fane's brows furrowed as he stopped in his tracks immediately.The moment Jordan Fisher saw Fane, he burst into laughter and walked up to Manfred Plume, patting his shoulder. "I won!"Jordan then opened his hand and wiggled his fingers. "You bet five thousand spirit crystals. Hand them over."Manfred let out a snort, bitter about his loss but complied with their bet nonetheless. "I can't believe that brat Philip managed to find a soul attribute warrior. I thought there won't be any soul attribute warriors in that group of trash.""We're lucky, then!" said Jordan with a pleased expression. "I thought there wo
Manfred and Jordan carried on with their conversation, seemingly not caring that Fane could hear them. After all, Fane would die in their hands in mere moments, and dead men would tell no tales.Jordan turned to look at Fane. "You don't seem afraid. Could my junior have told you everything before you entered?"Fane's calmness piqued Jordan's curiosity. After all, anyone would be able to understand what they were talking about—so long as they could think straight, that was.Furthermore, the Purple Soul Plate was right behind them, and the rules were explained. Anyone literate would be able to understand the rules. As long as they understood the rules, they would be able to figure out what awaited them.Oddly, Fane seemed all too calm even when hearing and reading everything. It was as if he did not know anything as he stood on the spot, which made Jordan both curious and suspicious.Fane raised an eyebrow. "Why would I be afraid?"Those words stunned Jordan and Manfred. This man c
In truth, the Whirling World had not been opened for too long. From how large the Whirling World was, no one could have explored the entire realm. Many things were only in the preliminary stages.However, based on Manfred and Jordan's conversation, it seemed like they had figured out everything about the Whirling World, which piqued Fane's interest as questions surfaced in his mind.Fane had stunned Manfred yet again. He felt like Fane's thoughts jumped far too quickly, and that something must be wrong with his mind.Jordan, who had just been enjoying the show by the side, raised an eyebrow. His lips twitched as he said, "Why are you asking that?"Fane composed himself and answered, "I'm just curious. In the end, this match is a fatal one where someone will surely die, and the defeated will forever keep this secret. Since that's the case, what do you have to hide?"Fane maintained his casual self as he spoke; it was as if he was not the one who was going to die. Jordan exchanged a
Everything had been done just to prevent other forces from messing things up after knowing the truth.Everything felt like a joke the more Fane delved into the matter. Both Phoenix Valley and Unbreaking Pavilion were utterly despicable!Fane sighed as he raised his head and asked again, "The grudge between the Unbreaking Pavilion and Phoenix Valley had just been a ruse after all? Do all of you disciples know that?"Jordan raised an eyebrow, a bit alarmed by Fane's question. Wandering warriors typically would not have asked something like that, but at the thought that Fane was to meet his demise soon, he did not bother thinking too deeply about it.He thus nodded without any hesitation. "It's not like every single disciple in the Unbreaking Pavilion knows about it, though; there aren't many who know. It's basically some chosen disciples as well as the more valued inner disciples."Jordan raised his head proudly at his own explanation. It was obvious that the two of them were among
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.
