Remus frowned, not expecting the people from the Herbal Pavilion to arrive so quickly.
Gemma’s face turned pale with fear as favonovel.com trembled, favonovel.com eyes locked onto Remus.
The door swung open, and Glinda was impeccably dressed and wearing Silver’s visage, favonovel.com expression filled with deep concern.
The elder hovered above the main hall. Glaring down with anger, favonovel.com introduced himself, saying, “I am Gerry Andrus, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Herbal Pavilion. I have come here for you, Remus Calsberg. Are you prepared to admit to your crimes?”
Upon hearing the news at the Herbal Pavilion, favonovel.com and his people swiftly departed, recognizing the severity of the situation.
If the Herbal Pavilion failed to respond promptly, how could they preserve their esteemed status?
Remus replied calmly and confidently, “If you intend to accuse me, then give me a reason! The Herbal Pavilion, claiming lineage from the Divine Husbandman and boasting a pure heritage, is seeking to take control of the Tanjen Organization under various excuses.”
“I was merely protecting my organization. So tell me, what did I do wrong?”
Gerry scolded directly, “How audacious! The Herbal Pavilion holds the Tanjen Organization in high regard, and it’s a fortunate opportunity for your organization to join us! Mr. Fisher came to recruit you, but instead of cooperating, you’ve killed him. Do you truly believe that the Herbal Pavilion is reliant on you and that you can do anything without consequences? Huh?”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, a formidable energy erupted from him. He was at the later stages of the Nascent Soul Stage.
The disciples following favonovel.com quickly dispersed, staring fiercely and firmly surrounding the Tanjen Organization as if afraid Remus would escape.
Suddenly, it appeared as though an invisible net had descended upon the Tanjen Organization.
Gemma’s anxiety intensified, favonovel.com trembling becoming uncontrollable. She now regretted not fleeing earlier.
Glinda was also nervous, but favonovel.com worry was primarily directed toward Remus’ safety.
Remus remained composed and questioned, “Are you acknowledging that the Herbal Pavilion intends to take control of the Tanjen Organization and that your current presence here is driven by anger rather than reason?”
“So what if I do?” said Gerry.
He then declared with anger, “This is your final opportunity. Surrender immediately and return with me to the Herbal Pavilion to face trial. Otherwise, not a single soul within the Tanjen Organization will be spared today!”
Upon hearing this, the disciples swiftly produced pale green ropes from their hands, deftly tossing and weaving them in the air, forming a visible net.
Remus erupted into laughter, proclaiming loudly, “Haha! Now that you’ve acknowledged the Herbal Pavilion’s malevolent motives, my actions in eliminating Mr. Fisher are entirely justified!”
He continued, “With 1000 cultivators as witnesses, should the Herbal Pavilion decide to act, aren’t you concerned about tarnishing your reputation and facing eternal condemnation?”
The reason favonovel.com spoke so much was to let everyone know that killing Rowan was not a rash act, but rather a justified act of self-defense.
Glinda couldn’t contain herself and said, “The Herbal Pavilion upholds a righteous lineage, but how can you engage in such unrighteous deeds? Justice resides within the hearts of people. Aren’t you concerned that cultivators from True Life will unite against you?”
Remus might not have the ability to confront them directly, but if the cultivators of True Life decided to protect him, favonovel.com could hold his ground for some time.
Gerry was stunned for a moment, then said scornfully, “So you were actually hoping that those ants outside the sacred land would come to help you. You hoped they would tarnish the reputation of the Herbal Pavilion, but where are they now?”
As his words fell, Remus became deeply aware that something was wrong.
The entire Tanjen Organization had fallen into an eerie and unnerving silence.
Glinda also sensed that something was awry. They were in the backyard, typically a bustling hub for alchemists as it was filled with recipes, elixirs, and valuable tools.
Normally, disciples would be scurrying around, fetching medicines, or transferring treasures to the storeroom. However, it stood utterly deserted at that moment.
