“Nine!” Remus continued the countdown without a moment’s hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Henry and the other six members rose to their feet, prepared to confront whatever awaited them next.
“Eight!” His counting reverberated deeply in the hearts of all, intensifying the oppressive atmosphere and making each breath more difficult to draw.
“Indeed, the Herbal Pavilion has no connection to me, and the Tanjen Organization has shown me kindness. I choose to be an observer!”
“I had a breakthrough thanks to Tanjen Organization. To exploit them during their time of need would make me worse than beasts. I choose to observe!”
“I have no chance, so I also choose to observe!”
Several cultivators and representatives of smaller organizations began to declare their decisions, promptly retreating 1000 yards away, with hundreds following their lead.
“Seven!” Remus continued to count down, unwavering in his resolve.
“Master, even if we don’t retreat, we should observe. We are no match for him!”
“Master, I have been loyal to Riversky. How could I deceive you? Let’s observe too!”
Morven and Reese pleaded with their Masters, their voices quivering with fear.
“Six!” Each of Remus’ counts seemed to thunder louder than the last.
The remaining members of the five major organizations still didn’t retreat.
“Five!”
The crowd grew increasingly restless, swayed by Remus’ commanding voice. Nearly 1000 more individuals began to retreat beyond 1000 yards.
“Four!”
“Cowards! You’re all cowards! How can you choose to flee? You don’t deserve to be called cultivators!” Master Sky roared in frustration from below, “Master Goon and Deputy Holmes, you must take action now! How can you stand by and allow favonovel.com to trample on our reputation? End favonovel.com now!”
“Three!” Remus’ voice echoed even louder, startling the birds and animals in the nearby woods.
Gemma, concealed among the trees, almost suffocated from the tension.
How could Remus stand before nearly the entirety of True Life without any hesitations?
“Two!” This count sent shockwaves through the crowd, prompting a rapid withdrawal by numerous smaller organizations and independent cultivators.
Only a little less than 500 individuals remained, mostly of Golden Stage peaks and a handful of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Doug and the others exchanged glances, sensing something unusual about Remus. They could discern that Remus had advanced to the late stages of the Golden Stage, possibly possessing the capability to challenge Nascent Soul cultivators, perhaps even Nascent Soul peaks.
But what has given favonovel.com the audacity to confront the entire True Life?
“One!” The countdown reached its final second.
Reese and Morven swiftly turned, kneeling before Remus without hesitation, and implored, “Master Calsberg, we beseech you to spare the Gresun and Riversky Organizations! They’vejust been momentarily misguided! We beg for your mercy!”
Aware that they couldn’t sway their respective Masters, they turned to plead with Remus.
The surrounding cultivators were astonished by this unexpected turn of events.
Among the few hundred cultivators who remained, their furrowed brows indicated that they were pondering whether Reese and Morven held undisclosed information.
“It’s too late now,” Remus said indifferently.
