The moment that was said, everyone nodded.Cloud said somewhat helplessly, "Let's not talk about this for now. We should just think about how we're going to face these dangers right now. No matter what, we need to stay here for two days and two nights. We'll only be able to think about anything else after that."That was possibly the only thing they can be thankful for. The Demon Spirit Kingdom had a time limit. Once everyone spent two days and two nights there, the final rankings would be counted, and the first three places would get the rewards and spirit crystals."It's because of these rewards that so many warriors signed up for the Demon Spirit Kingdom. If they knew how dangerous the situation was, they wouldn't have participated even if the rewards were several times better!"When the man heard what Cloud said, he sighed. "I can't figure out anything better. I feel like we're in a depressing situation. The most important thing is the fact that we don't know what those beasts
Everyone shook their heads. Fane could not feel the marks he left on them as well. It was obvious that something had happened, and everyone shivered at the possibility.They never expected something to happen so quickly.Kesh frowned and said, "Could it be those people?"He was referring to the warriors from second-grade worlds.However, Fane shook his head firmly. "It's probably not them. Even though they're our enemies and won't show us mercy, they probably won't delay anything for the sake of safety. They try to gather together as fast as possible. They're worried about me, so they'll be exceptionally careful. Even if we're going to fight, it'll be in the future, not now."Everyone nodded at those words, agreeing with what Fane said.Fane narrowed his eyes slightly. "The two of them are probably done for. It looks like those beasts didn't just hunt me but others as well. I doubt they sent fewer members to hunt the others. The outcome is inevitable; they couldn't have survived.
As everyone struggled with the depressing feeling, Fane suddenly looked to the distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked right to the west.Everyone looked over as well, and they saw a group of people heading right for them. Fane frowned, not expecting them to be so quick.Stephen had a dark look on his face. He seemed angered, like he had suffered some grief. The 13 men behind him did not look that happy either, equally solemn as though they had just gone through a funeral rite.All 14 of them stopped in front of Fane and the others, looking like they were about to fight.Everyone on Fane's side stood up and looked at Stephen and the others alertly. Stephen's group stopped about 100 meters away from Fane, and Stephen shot Fane a cold stare. "Seems like I was right; you are here!"Fane could clearly see Stephen's twisted expression as the man spoke through gritted teeth, glaring at him so pointedly. It was obvious how angry Stephen was at him.Facing Stephen, Fane frow
Rudy sneered and said, "Why would you think Fane had a hand in whatever it is you're accusing him of? I've been with Fane the whole time. Even though there was a small problem between our travels, we never met any warriors from second-grade worlds! This has nothing to do with Fane at all, so don't try blaming Fane!"Eduardo's expression soured. "Like we'd believe you! Who else but Fane could've done it? Even if Carlton was not as strong as I am, he was still a chosen disciple from a holy-grade clan who was at my level. His skills weren't to be underestimated, and no one other than Fane would've been able to face him alone! There's nothing that would have threatened his life other than Fane!"Stephen looked at Fane coldly, slowly saying, "You're still not going to admit it? I thought that you'll always admit to anything you did happily. I can't believe you're willing to put on a show like this, acting innocent after you killed someone!"All the warriors from second-grade worlds looke
Stephen was fuming in anger as he spoke. His hands constantly trembled. He felt like Cloud was treating the warriors from second-grade worlds like idiots. He was crossing the line!Those Demon Spirit Beasts were as cowardly as rats, running at the sight of any human. If Carlton crossed paths with them and they were not fast enough, they would be killed by Carlton immediately. How could he have been the one to be killed by them?!Eduardo was about to laugh from frustration, "Cloud! Just because Fane's around, doesn't mean you can live without fear! Fane is strong, but as long as we all attack together, we can still kill you!"Cloud's lips twitched in exasperation. He could feel that Stephen and the others were so angry because they felt like he was deliberately insulting Carlton, but he really did not have any intentions like that. He was just speaking the truth.Kesh was even more exasperated. He reached out to pat Cloud on the shoulder, gesturing for Cloud not to continue. He took
"You're actually making up stories for your act. The Demon Spirit Beasts hunting you down? Those beasts who run away at the sight of any human? Do you think we'd believe you if you just randomly made a story up? Those lies are really unbelievable! Do you think we wouldn't look into the Demon Spirit Kingdom before we came here?" Stephen said.Fane's lips twitched helplessly. He never expected those people to be so stubborn. Fane turned to look at Cloud, "I don't want to waste time on them. Tell them what I told you before."Cloud nodded, patiently telling the warriors from second-grade worlds what had happened to Fane. He even described the appearance of the beasts . Stephen's expression hardened a bit when he heard what was told.Eduardo did not believe it at all, and even felt like Fane had a plot behind the story! Eduardo sneered and said, "You really know how to make up stories. If I wasn't smart enough, I would have believed you. You even gave it so much detail so it's more beli
Stephen immediately asked after hearing what Fane said, "What do you want to say?"Fane took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "We should have a temporary truce! No one is allowed to touch anyone! We should be on alert against those beasts."The moment that was said, everyone was stunned. Everyone fell into silence. Fane could not help but smile wryly. Fane had expected this silence. The second-grade worlds' conflict with the third-grade worlds was already something incredibly evident.They were practically mortal enemies who hated each other to the bone. It was hard to accept a truce, but there was nothing they could do to face this situation. The third-grade world warriors were still fine. After all, they completely believed what Fane said.The warriors from second-grade worlds were different. They were more apprehensive. In the first place, they doubted what Fane had said. Even if it was true, Fane's suggestion might have a plot behind it. After all, their relationship w
Eduardo got more and more emotional as he spoke. He wanted nothing more than to grab them by the collar and shout right into their faces. Fane's lips twitched helplessly. Eduardo was too stubborn. If he did not care about his plans, Fane would have just shut up and forgotten about Eduardo.However, with his plan in mind, Fane could not help but say, "We're just going to not do anything to each other, how could this be a scheme? If you feel like it's one, then how will it cause you any losses?"Eduardo raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, it will. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone through such pains to craft this story so that we can believe you. Out of the blue, you suddenly asked for a truce–I refuse to believe you'd be so nice. Let me tell you, I'm not like the rest of them who'll believe anything you say. You can forget about it. I won't fall for it."Fane rolled his eyes in exasperation. He knew that it was a complete waste of time talking to that guy. Eduardo would not belie
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.
