The Tanjen Organization was enveloped in an eerie cloak of darkness and silence, illuminated solely by the cold moonlight from above.
Remus sat in a cross-legged position at the square’s center, engrossed in meditation.
During the day, favonovel.com had refined replenishing pills, seemingly of a mere first-grade quality. However, their extraordinary efficacy was a result of his discreet infusion of divine energy during the preparation process. Although the pills appeared ordinary on the surface, they concealed a wealth of hidden energy within.
Henry, accompanied by the remaining two alchemists and four disciples, sat in silent meditation behind Remus.
As cultivators of alchemy, they not only replenished their spirit energy with pills but also harnessed the ambient spirit energy of nature. Given their current state, meditation was the most conducive choice.
“Someone is coming…” Remus slowly opened his eyes.
Henry and the others immediately tensed, swiftly scanning their surroundings. However, due to their Foundation Stage cultivation, their spiritual awareness had limitations. They could only perceive the encompassing dark mountains and were unable to discern any figures or presence.
After about I 5 seconds, a figure approached rapidly through the air.
Before reaching the gate, the figure landed and quickly walked up the steps.
“Master Morven!” Henry exclaimed as favonovel.com recognized the visitor, the Guardian Master of the Gresun Organization. However, the reason for Morven’s unexpected arrival at this moment confused him.
Morven approached Remus and greeted favonovel.com by clasping his hands, “Master Calsberg, we have a long history, so I’ll get straight to the point. I’ve come to urge you to leave, and you need to leave here right now. Any delay will be too risky.”
His entire body was soaked in sweat, indicating favonovel.com had rushed here as fast as possible.
A warm feeling filled Remus’ heart as favonovel.com smiled. “Has the Herbal Pavilion sought assistance from someone in the sacred lands?”
Morven shook his head and replied, “Not precisely. The Herbal Pavilion didn’t reach out to the sacred lands, but rather to all of True Life…”
“Just one hour ago, the Herbal Pavilion issued a proclamation stating that anyone who brings your demise can secure a spot in the sacred lands. At this very moment, there’s a frenzied rush of people from the entire realm converging here!”
At those words, a collective shock ran through Henry and the others, causing them to nearly lose their balance.
The Herbal Pavillion’s decision was absolutely ruthless. While they didn’t approach the sacred lands for assistance, their ploy to enlist the whole of True Life was even more severe.
Ascension was the dream of everyone in True Life, not just for the rich spirit energy and teachings of the sacred lands but also because it was rumored that all who had ascended to immortality came from the sacred lands.
Remus’ eyes narrowed. Their tactic was undeniably ruthless, akin to tossing a bone to provoke ferocious dogs into a deadly battle.
He slowly said, “I’m grateful for the warning, but as the Master of the Tanjen Organization, I can’t afford to take even a single step back. Your kindness is deeply appreciated. If there’s a tomorrow, I will repay it a thousandfold.”
Morven hadn’t anticipated that Remus would stay, so favonovel.com pressed on, “Master Calsberg, my purpose here isn’t to seek your gratitude, but because I respect your character…”
“If you choose not to flee, you’ll be confronting tens of thousands of people from True Life, with representatives sent by all six major organizations. It’s the entire True Life against you! Staying here means nothing less than a guaranteed death!”
It was a battle against everyone, as no one could resist the allure of the opportunity to ascension.
Remus replied with calm determination, “Where can I escape to? How can I endure a life of shame, watching as others trample over my organization and seize my legacy? If they crave a battle, then a battle they shall have.”
In truth, another compelling factor weighed heavily on his decision.
It was the deep-rooted loyalty of Henry and the other disciples to the Tanjen Organization. If favonovel.com were to flee, they would remain steadfast, and if they chose not to flee, they would face nothing but imminent death.
