Indeed, they had prepared for three years.
The titles of Tanjen of the East and Medicine Valley of the West carried profound historical significance.
Their thoughts were constantly consumed by the aspiration to assimilate Tanjen, longing to emerge as a formidable force capable of standing toe-to-toe with the esteemed Herbal Pavilion.
The three years of meticulous preparation were originally meant for Leo Tanjen. Even though Master Tanjen had now become Remus Calsberg, there was no reason not to use the fruits of those years of preparation against him.
A collective gasp of cold air swept through the crowd in the square.
From this vantage point, it was evident that Raphaella hadn’t just come prepared. From the start, it was all a carefully orchestrated conspiracy.
Today, not only Remus Calsberg, but the very existence of the Tanjen Organization was at stake.
“You you have no shame!” Henry grew even more frantic, his entire body instantly drenched in sweat.
From the moment the Semi-Immortal Furnace appeared, they knew they had no hope of winning. Now, they also learned that they had been preparing for three years to absorb the Tanjen Organization.
If they were to win, how would they treat Master Tanjen?
The consequences were beyond imagination.
Henry swiftly turned to address the crowd, bowing with folded hands.
“All esteemed cultivators, what you’re witnessing now goes beyond a mere duel,” favonovel.com declared. “Raphaella’s intent was to execute a meticulously orchestrated plot to eradicate Tanjen! They started by revealing the Semi-Immortal Furnace, set in motion by a hundred disciples, and now they have unveiled tens of thousands of Energy-Replenishing Pills!”
“This duel is unfair to Master Tanjen. I implore all fellow cultivators to speak up and cancel the duel. We shall battle another day! Your support, dear fellow cultivators, will be greatly appreciated by both myself and the Tanjen Organization!”
The professors and disciples of Tanjen Organization promptly clenched their fists in agreement.
They were prepared to embrace Master Tanjen’s transformation, but the prospect of merging with the Medicine Valley Organization was a line they refused to cross.
As one, they voiced their unity, “Esteemed fellow cultivators, we implore you to share your thoughts. The Tanjen Organization will be forever indebted to your support!”
Without waiting for others to voice their opinions, Gafar took charge, his voice laced with a cryptic tone. “The duel is set, and there is no room for retreat. Anyone who falters will face the wrath of Crimson Valley! Who among you has the audacity to challenge it?”
Once again, a deathly silence enveloped the entire venue. No one dared to incur his wrath.
Gafar wore an expression of immense self-satisfaction, his spirits soaring. He cast a glance at the focused Remus, then shifted his gaze toward Henry.
He said with a playful tone, “Deputy Sect Master Henry, there’s no need for you to beg. After all, you’ve already betrayed once, what’s another betrayal? Once the duel concludes, you’ll be in the embrace of Medicine Valley. Stop struggling, hahaha!”
Henry’s face turned a deep shade of purple, favonovel.com bowed deeply once more and pleaded, “I implore all esteemed fellow cultivators to speak and halt the competition!”
Gafar erupted, his voice laced with fury, “Who dares? Who dares to speak? I’ll cripple them!”
Henry was consumed by a sense of hopelessness. The professors and disciples of Tanjen were also plunged into the depths of despair.
Once again, a thousand people in the square subtly shifted in the direction of Medicine Valley.
Gafar’s words resonated with truth. After today, it was most likely that the Tanjen Organization would crumble into nonexistence.
How could they persist in their support for Master Calsberg?
The risk was far too great.
Suddenly, a bizarre hush descended upon the area. Every pair of eyes was trained on the two sides.
Remus seemed to have entered his own realm, sitting alone in front of the furnace, engrossed in his craft. Meanwhile, Raphaella led a hundred disciples and continuously ingested pills, using their energy as the flame to cultivate the pill.
Time ticked away, each second passing in succession.
Remus worked at his own pace, unrushed and composed. Raphaella, accompanied by his disciples, swiftly consumed Energy-Replenishing Pills one after another, the quantity visibly diminishing before everyone’s eyes.
Finally, It was Remus’s furnace that echoed first.
The pill was done. At that moment, everyone’s eyes widened, and their hearts began to race.
While rumors of his extraordinary talent had lured them here, the assembled crowd had yet to witness Master Tanjen’s true capabilities.
His recent refusal of the challenge left them with no option but to question, favonovel.com perhaps was a mere pretender, grappling at an undeserved title.
Without a hint of hesitation, Remus raised his hand and a surge of spirit energy spilled forth, forcefully swinging open the furnace and lifting the Soulforging Pill into the air.
The moment the pill showed up, the crowd erupted into a wild uproar, each person engulfed in an ecstasy that was impossible to shake off.
