Even the people who had just knelt to admit their mistakes of supporting Oden were directing their spirit energytoward Oden.
Their collective spirit energy was utterly formidable, immediately overshadowing the energy emanating from Oden, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
It seemed that if Oden dared to make a move, they would not hesitate to strike favonovel.com down.
“You…” Oden observed the scene, and in his frustration, favonovel.com coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Despair washed over his face as favonovel.com realized that instead of achieving his revenge, favonovel.com had inadvertently elevated Remus’ reputation and became the subject of public scorn. His body swayed, nearly falling over.
However, a pair of hands reached out to support him.
It was none otherthan Rowan from the Herbal Pavilion.
Rowan had regained his composure, his eyes narrowing into slits as favonovel.com fixed his gaze on Remus’ departing figure.
He spoke in a cold, unwavering tone, “I’ll grant you one final opportunity. Explain to me, how did you accomplish this? Otherwise, if Master Irving decides to act today, no one will be able to intervene.”
The crowd shuddered at Rowan’s words, as it was evident that favonovel.com intended to back Oden in this matter.
Remus slowly stopped and asked without turning around, “What do you mean?”
Rowan sneered coldly. “My message is clear. Today, you must disclose the secret behind how a first-grade pill can surpass a top-grade one. You must hand it over! If you refuse, there won’t be anyone here who can offer you protection. If they dare to intervene, it means they are in opposition to the Herbal Pavilion!”
Everyone’s expression drastically changed as they realized the meaning behind his words.
Oden quickly bowed deeply. “Thanks for your support, Mr. Fisher!”
Remus responded calmly, “So, from the very start, you didn’t come here to recruit me as a disciple, but rather because you were concerned… Concerned that the Tanjen Organization was gaining too much influence, which poses a threat to the Herbal Pavilion’s standing, correct? And now, you’re revealing your true intentions?”
Remus had long noticed something was amiss.
lf the Herbal Pavilion truly wanted to recruit me as a disciple, why would they send someone to take control of the Tanjen Organization?
The true motive must have centered around the Tanjen Organization itself.
Rowan’s expression darkened, taken aback by Remus’ perceptiveness.
The Tanjen Organization and the Medicine Valley Organization had once been fierce rivals, too preoccupied with their internal conflicts to pose any significant threat to the Herbal Pavilion.
However, with the Tanjen Organization currently in a dominant position, it had the potential to become a future menace to the Herbal Pavilion. Hence, they felt the need to address this situation proactively.
Rowan spoke in a cold tone, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m simply disheartened by your behavior of intimidating others. If you choose to share your knowledge and also consider joining the Herbal Pavilion, we can have a nice and calm conversation. But if you decline, Master Irving might take action!”
A hushed stillness enveloped the entire square.
The crowd was willing to stand up for Remus if it was against Oden, or even Violet Sanctum, but they were not audacious enough to openly defy the Herbal Pavilion.
Henry panicked because Tanjen couldn’t confront Oden without the backing of the crowd.
Amid everyone’s anxiety, Remus disdainfully said, “Before you consider defending someone, you should first judge whether you possess the qualifications to do so…”
“Who are you to seek justice in my presence? To others, you are an elder of the Herbal Pavilion. But to me, you’re nothing more than a barking dog! If you utter another word of nonsense, I’ll have you crawling out of here!”
After saying that, favonovel.com proceeded to walk forward alongside Glinda.
Rowan nearly choked from anger. It had been many years since anyone had dared to address favonovel.com in such a manner.
He ordered furiously, “Master Irving, take action immediately! Anyone who dares to shield Remus is an adversary of the Herbal Pavilion!”
Upon hearing this, Oden quickly formed a divine whip in his hand and lashed out at Remus.
