Dickens had not reacted as he never expected he would ever meet Fane. When Lourain mentioned his name, Dickens did not even tie the name with that warrior at the peak at all.After Lourain repeated himself, Dickens finally responded. His eyes widened abruptly, and they almost popped out of their sockets. He turned to look at Lourain. "He's that warrior at the peak, Fane?"Lourain nodded. At that moment, he was so anxious that it seemed like smoke was about to come out of his head. He was in no mood to bother with Dickens' surprise. He slapped Dickens' arm. "Hurry and lead the way!"Dickens had a look of disbelief, but with how things were, he did not dare to delay matters at all even if he did not believe it, especially with the earnest look on Lourain's face. After all, time was of the essence. If they were quick enough, they would be able to save their fellow disciples.At that moment, about two kilometers away, Dickens' fellow disciples—including Hashem—were tied up by a special
Hashem's lips stiffened. He remembered what had happened the past two days, and he felt an indescribable sense of sorrow and rage in his heart.It was amusing. They were willing to do anything for the sake of their profits. They knew they were being used and that this was a plot from the warriors at the peak, but for the sake of bagging profits, they were willing to ignore all of that.They allowed others to use them and turned themselves into tools for someone else. However, Hashem refused to bow. "Someone will see through your plots eventually. Don't think we're all idiots. How could you possibly be willing to dip into your wallets for the Heartblood You have so many men in Toman Battlefield, but you keep saying that there aren't enough people."You said that we'd only be able to exchange the Heartblood on the last day, and you even said that only those with at least five people worth of Heartblood could exchange it! Those are all just lies! You just want to attack on the last day
However, their focus was not on the stranger at all.At that moment, the three of them were distressed. They were so angry that they did not know what to say."Are you insane?!" shouted Hashem. "You managed to escape, so why are you walking to your doom?!"Those two were not at his level of strength at all. Even with himself working with his two fellow disciples, they had been no match for those two above-average warriors, let alone Lourain and Dickens. They were asking for trouble! They were staking their lives!Dickens had to swallow back all his fear, and he could not say anything at all. He grew up with those fellow disciples, and he had always feared and respected them. Even when they were all in a bad state, he was still being lectured.Lourain was better off than Dickens. After all, Lourain was someone who did not fear anything. At that moment, Lourain had Fane with him as well. Looking at his fellow disciples full of injuries and being tied up, Lourain's anger soared.Lou
Lourain raised an eyebrow. He knew what he was saying, of course, but it was just that the rest of them did not understand him. Dickens gaped but stopped himself from saying anything.At that moment, Fane—who had been silent the whole time—finally spoke, "Who are you working for?"Fane's sudden words ceased their laughter. Yeagen and Teagen exchanged looks of disdain before Teagan sneered and said, "What? Are you asking for revenge?"Fane nodded before shaking his head. Everyone was stunned at the sight. Hashem and the others looked at Fane with widened eyes.Seeing as that stranger had arrived with Lourain, he must have had a good relationship with Lourain. Otherwise, with Lourain's personality, there was no way Lourain would let an outsider interfere with this.Anyone who was close to Lourain should be a normal person, yet both his speech and his expressions were very irregular. Fane did not care how others saw him at all, and he continued to say, "It's not really revenge to me,
Fane did not care about how tense the atmosphere was as he continued to say, "So all of you were just bragging. You were actually still afraid that we will be able to defeat you and spread the news to disrupt your plans."After he said that, Teagan and Yeagen were stunned. They looked like they were wondering if Fane was joking. However, Fane's expression did not change. It did not seem like he was joking at all.Teagan sneered, "Brat! Are you trying to challenge us? Do you know the consequences of doing that?"Fane shook his head, saying calmly, "I don't know the consequences, but I do know that the two of you are trying to avoid answering because you're worried. Even if the two of you kill us right now, it can't change how you feel."Fane's words made it sound like it was certain that was what they felt. The two of them could no longer even laugh. That brat was really challenging their bottom line! Teagan's lips twitched. He was just about to answer Fane's question to prove that
Yeagen frowned as he said to Teagan, "Whatever! Let's just stop trying to communicate with an idiot. Why do we need to tell him anything? Who does he think he is?"Fane sighed slightly before he started to laugh, looking at them with unbridled mockery. At that moment Teagan could no longer remain calm! Yeagen could not even stop him.Teagan scoffed and said, "So what if we tell you?! Both of us are from the Searing Flame Clan in Star Continent. Triton is our eldest disciple. If it comes to status, we're working for him."Fane has never heard of Triton's name before, but he was very familiar with Star Continent. In terms of grudges, Star Continent had the deepest grudge against him. Fane nodded slightly, "So that Triton must be a peak warrior."When they mentioned Triton's name, both of them had a tone of complete respect. Teagan held his head high and said, "Of course he is! You regular warriors aren't even worthy of licking his boots! You're lucky enough just getting to hear his n
Fane nodded, remembering the name. Yeagen put his hands up, not wanting to continue wasting time, "Brat, we've already told you everything you want to know. It's time for you to just surrender. At least you'll suffer a bit less. Of course, you can continue fighting back too, but if you do that, I can guarantee you that things will end very badly for you."Fane was not bothered by those threats at all, and he pretended like he could not hear them. In truth, Fane still wanted to ask more questions, but the two of them seemed like they no longer had the patience to answer him even if he asked.Since that was the case, there really was no point in continuing to waste time. The two of them exchanged a look, and Teagan nodded to Yeagen, "It's fine, just leave this guy to me. I'll make sure to give him an unforgettable lesson so he knows his place."After he said that, he started to form seals with his hands. Countless light-green seals danced in the air like fireflies in the night. A viol
The moment the Broken Soul Blade was inside the cyclone, the countless swords immediately charged right at the blade. Teagan had thought that the Broken Soul Blade would be torn into pieces of energy, but that thought was immediately discarded. Before those green swords could even touch the Broken Soul Blade, the Broken Soul Blade unleashed a wave of gray energy that filled the whole cyclone.Cracking sounds could be heard from within the cyclone. In just a few seconds, the cyclone was completely swallowed up by that gray energy.The next second, the Broken Soul Blade broke through the cyclone and quickly charged at Teagan. Only then did Teagan realize that his technique had not only failed to destroy his opponent's technique, but it had been unable to stop it at all. The moment the two techniques clashed, his own technique completely failed.Teagan widened his mouth in shock, but he did not have time to do anything else, because the Broken Soul Blade was already in front of him.
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.
