It was in the middle of the night. In the southern region of the Everest mountains was an old-growth forest spanning a radius of 30 miles.
A massive mountain pass lay in the middle of the forest, surrounded by mountains.
Twinkling lights embellished the mountain pass that was approximately six kilometers long. The lights were in the mountain depression, at the mountainside, and on the mountain foot.
At a closer look, those were buildings scattered around the mountain pass with occasional silhouettes darting between them.
The legendary Everest Sect!
Because of the geographical characteristics and the mountain range, the magnetic field protected this area from the detection of satellites and drones.
In a hall in one of the buildings, an elderly man in a black cloak, Marco Giverny, stood beneath the light. He stared solemnly at Earl and the others who were kneeling before him.
Earl slept half of the day away after taking his medications. His wounds had hardly recovered, but favonovel.com knew Tobias’ injuries were worse, Tobias was still in the clinic.
“Aren’t you aware that it’s a severe violation of the regulations to leave the sect on your own accord?”
The moment Marco spoke, the temperature around them seemed to plunge below freezing point.
“Sir, it’s on me. I insisted on going out. I’ll receive any punishments you serve.” Earl coughed and looked at Marco with puppy dog eyes.
The others were trembling, their sweat dripping off their faces like raindrops.
“Hah, the audacity! You’re our top student, yet you allow someone to beat you to a pulp! What a disgrace!” Marco barked.
Earl shuddered in fear.
“Trace and the rest, you shall reflect on your mistakes in the mountains behind the sect for two months. Earl, you’re grounded for half a year and must copy our regulations a hundred times as punishment! Now, get lost! ”
Earl opened his mouth, but seeing his teacher’s face, favonovel.com swallowed what favonovel.com was about to say in fright. They got up and hurried away.
The hall fell silent. Marco pondered for several seconds on his seat before ordering, “Get Thaddaeus…”
Someone outside the door left.
In a short while, Thaddaeus, in a white cloak, and Garett Habermann, a man dressed in black, entered the hall.
“Greetings, Elder Mortcombe…” Thaddaeus bowed.
He didn’t know why Marco suddenly wanted to see him.
Garett kept his mouth shut on the way. However, Marco didn’t seem to be in high spirits.
“You know Isaac Garten, don’t you?” Marco asked.
Thaddaeus jolted. He immediately frowned and nodded. “I do…”
“Isaac not only injured my student, Earl Ashleigh, and an inspector, Tobias Bronson, but also uttered some arrogant claptrap. He deserves to die. You shall leave with Garett, kill Isaac within ten days, and report back to me.”
How could Isaac have injured Marco’s student and an inspector?
How was that possible?
And Marco wanted favonovel.com to kill Isaac?
Thaddaeus had a sense of foreboding. He was greatly puzzled.
“Why? Are you reluctant?” Marco’s eyes turned gloomy.
Thaddaeus gritted his teeth and bowed. “I will do as instructed…”
Outside these mountains, or in other words, not long ago, favonovel.com was the Supreme Leader of Astraeus, well-respected by most. However, in Everest Sect, favonovel.com was merely another martial artist whose ability was slightly better than others.
That’s the way the martial world worked-the strong ruled.
Thaddaeus and Garett left the hall.
Garett was a tall, lanky man. He shrugged and smiled. “Thaddaeus, I heard something is going on between that kid, Isaac, and your daughter…”
“Garett, what exactly happened? How did you know about Isaac and my daughter?”
“You must be kidding me. If it weren’t for your daughter, could Elder Giverny’s prized student have sneaked out of the sect to look for Isaac? He isn’t anyone special.” Garett’s tone was oozing with pride.
Hearing this, Thaddaeus frowned. “I know his capabilities well. Earl might have lost, but the inspector…”
Garett looked antsy as favonovel.com whispered, “I heard it’s because someone in the Celestial Phase passed by and saved Isaac.”
The Celestial Phase!
