The crowd was shocked. The entire scene fell silent. What they had initially thought was merely an investigation to clear Remus of any wrongdoing revealed a startling truth! Remus was truly a formidable figure.At that moment, the door directly in front suddenly swung open, and the unexpected sound made everyone shiver. They turned to see a person stepping out from inside, and upon seeing the face clearly, their expressions turned to horror."Go... Goetz?"Lincoln was the first to react. He widened his eyes in disbelief."Goetz, are... Are you a ghost?"Senior Baker followed up immediately.Meanwhile, Marten secretly released his energy, preparing for battle. He had clearly left, so how could he be back again?"Senior Baker, of course, I'm human!""Senior Baker, of course, I'm human!" Goetz responded with a smile. "Mr. McCoy, Marten, and everyone, you're all here? Thank you!"Before anyone could respond, Remus's figure also appeared at the door.Seeing him, everyone instinc
"Gemma is Gemma. I won't show mercy if that woman dares to provoke me again. It's perfect; I'll use her life to compensate for Goetz's loss."Remus lowered his head and smiled. "You're the one who understands me the best; you're smarter than anyone else.""Chirp!"Upon hearing the praise, Ruby's head visibly lifted higher, and its wings flapped more vigorously. It was proud.Remus chuckled at its reaction. He had just casually spoken, yet it was responding so intensely.He said, "Your feathers are even brighter than before. It's gorgeous!"Ruby shook its body at the compliment, and its long tail feathers almost spread apart.Remus expressed surprise, "Oh, you're already in the late Nascent Soul Stage? Your cultivation has progressed so quickly!"Ruby immediately increased its speed, seemingly showcasing its strength at the late Nascent Soul Stage.Remus remarked, "Your flight is so stable, elegant, truly worthy of you!"Ruby responded loudly as if to say, "You flatter me."I
The voice was deafening. It echoed incessantly above Tanjen Organization.Whoosh!Upon hearing this, the people in the Tanjen Organization square turned their heads to look into the distance, where a dense crowd was flying through the air.A figure dressed in a black robe led the way. Their body was entirely shrouded in the garment, with only its mesmerizing eyes visible. It was difficult to discern their gender.Walking beside them was the same arrogant cultivator who had just shouted loudly, Aether!"Aether?"Henrik recognized Aether at a glance. He couldn't help but blurt out as his face drastically changed."Hahaha!"Aether laughed arrogantly as he walked. He said, "Back then, the brat Cadman said he'd give me ten days to bring the lord of Husan Island here. And now, here I am as he wished!""The person by my side is none other than the lord of Husan Island, hailed as the fifth sacred land, Husan!""And behind us are the cultivators of Husan Island!""Where's Remus? Tell
"You bunch of ignorant ants, how dare you bark at me recklessly! Do you want to die?"His words were heavy with spiritual energy, carrying a powerful momentum. As soon as he spoke, a violent wind swept through the area.The disciples on the square staggered. Over a thousand were pushed back several steps. Some of the weaker ones fell to the ground.But the next moment...Yet, they rallied quickly. Fearless, they advanced even further than before. Spiritual energy radiated from each of them.Together, they roared. "Forever loyal to Master Cadman, we are willing to go through and even die without hesitation for him! You, get down here!"The scene shocked Husan and the people from Husan Island. These disciples had only Foundation stage cultivation, some even less. Aether could annihilate them alone, yet they were ready to face nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Stage. It was inconceivable!"Do you really want to die?" Aether fumed. He had planned a swift, decisive strike against Rem
Husan furrowed her brows deeply and glanced sharply below. She then asked Aether, "Are you hiding something from me?"It wasn't just her who looked over. Everyone from Ironpeak Island also turned their gaze toward Aether.Feeling the intensity of their scrutiny, Aether's heart sank. Indeed, he had hidden something. When he had gone to fetch Husan, he hadn't told her the truth about his master entrusting the Spirit Vessel to Wind Hunter. Instead, he falsely claimed that Remus had taken the Spirit Vessel after killing someone...He felt that she couldn't possibly know.Shaking his head, he replied, "Lord Husan, why would I hide anything from you?"He hadn't disclosed the truth earlier and couldn't risk it now. He didn't want it to backfire"Very well!"Husan responded without hesitation, "Based on your description, Remus is a villain who commits every imaginable evil and bullies others. He destroys families without hesitation. Then explain to me, why does he have so many followe
The people of Ironpeak Island were taken aback. They wondered why Egbert would say such things."Sir Egbert..."Henry called out immediately. Just moments ago, they were puzzled by his arrival, and now they were shocked to hear him slander their Master Cadman.Egbert's methods were also very straightforward. With a leakage of spiritual energy, he slapped Henry away.Continuing calmly, he asked, "Lord Husan, do you know why these disciples fearlessly pledge their lives to protect Remus?"“Why?” Aether asked eagerly."Because they all think it's fake!"Egbert blurted out, standing with his hands behind his back and laughing. "It's quite a coincidence. Today is the assessment day for the disciples entering the Tanjen Organization. The first test of the assessment is a loyalty test to that dog thief, Cadman.""These folks thought the Tanjen Organization arranged for you to test them, so everything they did was just to pass the test!"As soon as these words were spoken, Husan was s
As the crowd watched, the assessment disciples descended into disarray."This... seems to be true?""Could this be true?" one disciple pondered aloud, staring at the cloth bag. "I once journeyed over mountains and rivers to the Lily Pavilion. From a distance, I recognized their emblem. It does seem legitimate!"Other disciples became even more confused upon hearing this.Someone subconsciously said, "It seems like it's really not an assessment!""Oh my god... What a coincidence?""It really isn't an assessment."Many people's faces turned pale with fear.Hearing their discussions, Henry said, "It's over." He thought he had escaped a disaster, but now it was all over because, in terms of cultivation, the Tanjen Organization was utterly powerless against the people of Ironpeak Island.And upon hearing their discussions, there was no need for answers anymore.Aether and Egbert couldn't help but smile at the unfolding scene.Turning to his companions with a smug look, Aether a
Before they could even move, the faces of over a thousand disciples turned deathly pale, and some couldn't even stand steadily!Henry's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw this scene. He never imagined that they would still defend Master Cadman. They were so devoted. There was no way he could betray them!With difficulty, he said, "All of you, retreat. This is a trial for the Tanjen Organization, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't lose your lives in vain for this!"Numbers didn't matter. There was a gap in strength!But when they heard Henry speak, instead of retreating, these assessment disciples became even more excited. "We pledge our lives to defend Master Cadman!"Their roars were like thunder.Egbert and Aether were utterly at a loss. How could they, as influential figures in the True World, be provoked by these ants? What would become of their reputation?They attacked recklessly!A mighty surge of spiritual energy covered the entire Tanjen Organization and presse
