As he spoke, Martin was about to step out of the clearing.Then, a faint voice could be heard. "Since no one wants to step forward, I'll give it a go!"As the words rang through the air, a tall and broad figure strode into the clearing slowly.Clad in long black robes with a tall and broad figure, his gaze shone with a bone-chilling frost.It was the True Flame Sect Master—Adam Bedford.The True Flame Sect had once been one of the ten main sects of the Cryolet Continent. However, five hundred years ago, it began to go down before disappearing from the world's attention altogether.Recently, the True Flame Sect had fallen to be only considered a second-best sect in the world. Members from more prominent sects and even pirates and hooligans hardly saw them as a threat.The sect master of the True Flame Sect was Adam, a man of around thirty years of age. He was incredibly skilled and had once used a mere two years to develop the True Flame Sect's highest form of skills and powers.
Adam had such potent skills, ending up as Martin's equal after a collision of blows.Did the True Flame Sect not go down forever a while ago? How was he so powerful?Martin was shocked as well. It was important to note that the blow earlier had taken up seventy percent of his internal energy. How had he ended up drawing with Adam?He could also clearly sense that Adam had not used his full strength.'F*ck!'Martin had underestimated his opponent.Amidst his shock, Martin chuckled at Adam."You are strong indeed, Sect Master Adam. It's my honor to be learning from you then. Don't mind if I do."As the words rang through the air, he charged forward once again. Adam laughed before a fierce battle broke out between the two.Martin had been nothing but confident at the start. However, after a few rounds, he found his shock growing by the second. He could sense that his opponent's internal energy was like a vast ocean, with a great deal of hidden potential. Even if he were to use al
Just then, a few of the True Flame Sect pupils called out to Adam."At your service, Alliance Master."The crowd hesitated for a brief second before kneeling to bow to Adam."Alliance Master.""At your service, Alliance Master."Like Martin, none of the sect pupils had guessed that Adam would have won the duel. However, upon seeing that the man was so powerful, it was only fair that he became Alliance Master.Ho ho…At the sight, a pleased smile appeared on Adam's face as he waved his hands good-naturedly."You're all too kind. We're only forming this alliance so we can better explore this place. This isn't a real sect alliance. I'm more than happy with you just calling me Sect Master Adam."As the words rang through the air, Adam looked around, saying in a serious tone, "I'm sure everyone must be tired from the duel earlier. Let's all get some rest, then start looking around.""Yes…"…Over on another end, in the cramped attic.After half an hour of energy transferring, L
Darryl could clearly remember that the forest of wooden pillars at Zilong's tomb was actually an incredibly powerful formation. The stonetree forest before him was nearly identical to the one at Zilong's tomb.Of course, the stonetree forest was many times bigger than the wooden one in Zilong's tomb, thus making its illusion power even stronger as well.Darryl did not panic in the slightest.The formation was hazardous to others, but it hardly threatened Darryl. It was important to note that throughout the years, Darryl had reached the highest form of knowledge and understanding regarding formations.He could practically walk out of the formation before him with his eyes closed.Just then, Darryl cast a glance around him. Then, without hesitation, he rushed into the stonetree forest.Upon entering, Darryl stood still before turning around to smile at Lumi. "My beautiful darling Lumi. I wouldn't keep chasing if I were you. However, this stonetree forest is a formation, so you ma
The next second, Lumi looked in Darryl's direction, and her body trembled at the sight.Darryl was nowhere to be seen, and not far away instead was her oldest sister—Alora.Lumi did not know that she was already under the influence of the illusion formation, and that she was hallucinating. The person standing before her was not Alora, but Darryl."Oldest Sister!"Seeing her family filled Lumi with glee instantly. She walked over, grabbing Darryl by the hand and saying in an overjoyed tone, "I've finally found you, Oldest Sister. How wonderful…"The most powerful aspect of the illusion formation was that it could display one's deepest desires in front of them.All Lumi wanted most ever since she had wandered into the underground town was to find Alora and the rest of her sisters. Thus, the illusion formation promptly turned Darryl into Alora.Uhh…Sensing Lumi's joy, Darryl was slightly embarrassed. He knew Lumi was already hallucinating and that she had mistaken him for her sis
Lumi did not know she was hallucinating, and the person before her was not Alora. Instead, it was Darryl Darby, the man she despised wholly.'F*ck me…'Darryl's chest thudded at her words, falling into a dilemma instantly.It was bad enough that Lumi had mistaken him for her older sister, and she wanted him to help her clear her points in such an intimate manner.How could that happen?"Oldest Sister!"Seeing Darryl's hesitation, Lumi began to break into a cold sweat from where she was sitting cross-legged as she said in a feeble voice, "Quickly, please. I'm in so much pain. Please help me, Oldest Sister."As she spoke, Lumi bit her lip. It was evident that she tried her best to hold back the pain.Whew!Darryl gasped at the sight, gritted his teeth, and said, "Alright."He knelt in front of Lumi as he spoke, putting his hands on her lower abdomen under her instructions.Due to the fact that there could not be a single mistake made, Darryl had to press his hands to Lumi's sk
"Stop right there! Don't touch my sister, you shameless bastard!"Halfway through tying Lumi's dress, a roar could be heard from a near distance, followed by the appearance of several stunning figures.Their dresses whipped in the wind as they gripped their long swords, radiating a terrifying aura.It was Alora and the rest.F*ck!Seeing them made Darryl nothing but frustrated and helpless. He scrambled to stand, waving his hands and trying to explain. "Please don't be mistaken, ladies. I… I was just tying her dress up, and I did not mean anything else…"The words left his mouth as Darryl grew nervous.Crap.Alora and the rest just had to appear at a time like that. There was no explaining himself out of that situation.Just then, Alora and the rest had reached him.At the sight before them, everyone, including Alora and the other four sisters next to her, could hardly contain their shock and anger.All that could be seen was Lumi lying there with her eyes shut, completely u
At the thought, Darryl calmed down before exploring the area around him.Oh?Upon walking a few minutes, Darryl stopped. He could faintly hear a chaotic noise from a near distance. It was none other than the sect pupils from before."Let's hurry up.""We can't touch anything as we please without the Alliance Master's orders.""Be careful of any traps."Darryl frowned as he followed quietly.Quickly enough, they turned into a street. All that could be seen were many sect elites gathered, and their leader was the sect master of the True Flame Sect, Adam Bedford.Not far away from the crowd was a large building. It had three stories, radiating an aura of solemness as it was lit from the inside, quiet like the other buildings around here.The building was located in the center of the city.Darryl did not show himself. Instead, he hid in a corner.Darryl was a lot more at ease when they left. He had thought it through; he would not have to do much exploring but just follow those
