The crowd hesitated in disbelief at the newly-presented fact.
This time, the disclosure carried an even greater measure of astonishment and dread than the previous one, casting an eerie hush over them.
While one person could fabricate a lie, when multiple individuals corroborated the same story, its reliability became highly probable.
If what they said was true, it signified an earth-shattering event that reverberated throughout the entirety of True Life. Despite prestigious organizations not consistently showing respect to alchemists, the essence of maintaining amicable connections retained its significance.
For individual cultivators and smaller organizations, alchemists were figures to be worshiped. The notion that Remus killed over a dozen alchemists and brought Medicine Valley to its knees was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“It can’t be, absolutely not!” Oden erupted angrily. Despite being a master at the Nascent Soul Stage, having already crossed the edge of celestial cultivation, favonovel.com was still shaken by this news.
His thunderous shout resonated, “The Violet Saint stands among the revered experts of True Life and is the Master of the foremost organization. How could favonovel.com possibly commit such an ungrateful act? How is that even possible?!”
Upon the mention of this, the statue positioned in the Great Hall subtly twitched at the edge of its mouth.
It pondered, “Can we just skip over that part? Why was it brought up? And why is favonovel.com so loud about it?”
Chase replied with a worried tone, “Many believe it’s because of Master Calsberg’s extraordinary alchemical skills. Even the Violet Saint holds favonovel.com in high regard. Furthermore, upon your arrival, we were in the midst of kneeling and confessing our mistakes. If what we’re saying isn’t true, how could we possibly be apologizing to someone not from the Violet Sanctum right here?”
Oden’s body trembled as well. He glanced at Remus and his eyes were filled with ferocity. There were two main reasons favonovel.com dared to kill Remus.
Firstly, Violet Sanctum owed a debt to Medicine Valley. The rumors involving Raphaella had deeply disgraced Medicine Valley, and by killing Remus here, Violet Sanctum could have returned the prior favor by not delving deeper into the matter.
Secondly, despite Remus being an alchemist and acclaimed as a prodigy in alchemy, there were other alchemical organizations, and people may not uniformly offer complete protection, given the presence of other alternatives. However, Remus had dared to kill more than a dozen alchemists from Medicine Valley.
What perplexed Oden even more was why Violet Sanctum protected Remus. Yet, there was no effort from Violet Sanctum to intervene right now.
Could it be that Violet Sanctum regretted its decision to shield Remus?
He immediately declared, “So what? If Medicine Valley dares not retaliate, I do! If Violet Sanctum can tolerate this scoundrel, I can’t! Remus Calsberg, you will surely die today!”
Oden no longer hesitated. His hands finally moved, and the divine whip formed from the condensed air swiftly lashed out toward Remus. The mere action of striking caused the trees to sway and the air to hum.
Hundreds of cultivators stood in awe, gripped by an unseen force that made drawing breath nearly impossible. The Nascent Soul Stage was truly fearsome. If Remus were to get hit, favonovel.com would be on the brink of imminent death. However, just as the whip was about to strike, an almost equal surge of spirit energy appeared, firmly shielding Remus all around.
Morven stood in defense of Remus. He asserted boldly, “Master Irving, if you proceed recklessly today, I am also prepared to go all out!”
Since the Violet Saint had also decided to protect Remus, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com made the right choice. He was determined to protect Remus no matter what.
Oden roared in fury, “Who do you think you are? How dare you stand in my way?!”
Reese also stepped forward, facing death with determination. “I dare to intervene too. If you Intend to harm Master Calsberg, you’ll have to step over my body first!”
“You!” Oden’s eyes flared with rage.
Before favonovel.com could say more, the dozens of Golden Stage cultivators who had just stepped back blocked the way once again. They declared in unison, “We swear to protect Master Calsberg to the death!”
The ambiance in the field abruptly shifted, tension and anxiety settling in.
While each of them alone might not stand a chance against Oden, together, they had the potential to spread chaos and bewilderment.
“You all can fight for Master Calsberg. I, on behalf of the Jade Organization, will fight for Master Irving!”
