“Well, very well!” Oden’s voice sharply rose, infused with intense anger.
He declared, “We are Crimson Valley! With a history spanning eight centuries! With nearly a thousand cultivators at the Golden Stage! Twelve at the Nascent Soul Stage! Three acknowledged as saints in True Life!”
“In terms of overall power, we hold the position of the second-largest organization in True Life. I never envisioned a day when I’d be threatened by a mere alchemist boasting about his connections. So, allow me to reveal to you the true foundation of Crimson Valley!”
He turned to the cultivators behindand asked, “Are there any among you who are willing to join me and become an ally of Crimson Valley?!”
He was on the verge of losing his temper.
Remus was the first person to show such blatant disrespect toward him. Since Remus used pills as a lure to rally people for protection, favonovel.com decided to leverage his own foundation as bait to turn the people against him.
The elder hurriedly turned around and bowed with clasped hands as favonovel.com announced, “Esteemed cultivators, standing with Crimson Valley today makes you our friends. In the future, if you encounter hostility or vendettas, feel free to seek refuge in Crimson Valley!”
The other elder proudly proclaimed, “Just think about it. Pills are temporary but becoming friends with Crimson Valley have eternal benefits. Carefully consider which holds more weight for yourselves!”
The hundreds of cultivators standing on the periphery became collectively stirred. They were well aware that forming an alliance with Crimson Valley brought forth substantial benefits, akin to an added layer of protection.
The chances to observe and learn within Crimson Valley held the potential to significantly elevate their cultivation, a value on par with the desired rare pills.
Thinking about it, the prospect of being able to befriend Crimson Valley seemed far-fetched as even the disciples of Crimson Valley wouldn’t spare them a second glance.
“I support Master Irving!” A sudden voice pierced the air amidst the crowd, and it was none other than Glinda’s senior, Master Sky.
She turned favonovel.com gaze toward Remus and mocked, “You all are so clueless. No matter how impressive Remus Calsberg is as a pill cultivator, he’s nothing more than a mere alchemist! Besides, favonovel.com has no real foundation, he’s just a self-made alchemist who joined the trade halfway!”
“How can favonovel.com even be mentioned in the same breath as Master Irving? The fact that favonovel.com can stand here face-to-face with Master Irving is the luckiest thing that could ever happen toin this lifetime!”
She had long heard of Remus Calsberg. However, favonovel.com heldin complete contempt.
The Jade Organization boasted centuries of foundation, and by mundane standards, both favonovel.com and the six major organizations were esteemed noble lineages, while Remus was nothing more than a commoner.
A few independent cultivators also came to the realization that the status of Crimson Valley held more weight than the pills.
“I support Master Irving!”
“Master Irving, please be my friend.”
“I will stand by your side!”
Suddenly, dozens of cultivators at the pinnacle of the Foundation Stage, independent Golden Stage practitioners, and disciples of small organizations’ leaders gathered behind Oden.
The numbers on both sides turned out to be evenly matched.
Morven, Reese, and dozens of Golden Stage cultivators couldn’t help but frown. They were ready to stand by Remus in the pursuit of alchemy, even if it meant displeasing Oden. In the worst-case scenario, both sides could simply part ways without future engagements.
However, Oden had also urged the people to make a stand. With the numbers evenly matched, and even in the absence of physical conflict, it signified a notable divide between them. The situation was seriously escalating.
Everyone’s heartbeats quickened uncontrollably and the atmosphere took on an unusually heavy tension.
“You just need to walk away, and each of you will receive an Energy-Replenishing Pill,” Remus maintained a calm expression.
With Oden’s larger group, favonovel.com had to find a way to get those people to leave.
