Gemma’s heart sank as favonovel.com watched Remus walk away, feeling utterly helpless. She whispered under favonovel.com breath, “I’ll leave after you’re dead…”

Meanwhile, Lance took the lead in the Herbal Pavilion, flanked by Deputy Masters Egbert and Lionel Joseph. Behind them, a formidable contingent of nearly 100 skilled alchemists followed. Together, they exited the main hall, crossed the tranquil courtyard, and finally passed through the gate.
As they walked out, three people approached them.
Behind them was a young couple, Marsh and Elsie, both wielding longswords. Leading the way was their master, Master Zaiden Hugo.
Lance quickly greeted favonovel.com with clasped hands, “Master Hugo, your visit has brought glory to the Herbal Pavilion. Please forgive me for not meeting you sooner.”
The crowd echoed his sentiments, chanting in unison, “Welcome, Master Hugo!”
In the grand tapestry of existence, Zaiden’s significance remained a mystery to most, but to the disciples of the Herbal Pavilion, his true stature was crystal clear. They recognized favonovel.com as one of the revered elders of Shenington, an immensely influential and respected figure.
Returning the gesture, Zaiden replied, “Master Walker, I appreciate your courtesy. I must apologize for this untimely visit, but I assure you it is due to a matter of great urgency.”
Lance gently lowered his hand and offered a warm smile. “Master Hugo, you are too kind. You are our esteemed guest, and every time you grace the Herbal Pavilion with your presence, it brings us great joy. We are deeply honored, and there is absolutely no need to worry about any inconvenience…”
“Please, do come inside the main hall!” He gestured invitingly, leading Zaiden and his companions inside.
Marsh and Elsie followed closely behind, with Egbert and Lionel trailing behind them. As for the others, they walked at the rear.
Lance inquired with a hint of curiosity, “Master Hugo, may I ask the purpose of your visit tonight? If it’s regarding the pills, you could have come during the day. Your visit at night suggests it might be for something significant.”
Zaiden’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “Certainly, Master Walker, the night brings its own significance. I have come here to offer my assistance.”
His purpose for coming was straightforward. He wanted to track down the individual responsible for the murder of Draig and the 12 disciples from the previous night and bring favonovel.com back to the sacred lands.
The scarcity of spirit energy in the outside world had led to a significant gap in the appearance of Divine Separation Stage cultivators beyond the sacred lands.
Moreover, the prospect of someone being capable of single-handedly defeating a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator within the sacred lands had not arisen in many years.
In the outside world, individuals refined weapons through cultivation, channeling their spirit energy to create illusionary armaments. Within the sacred lands, the focus of cultivation shifted to harmonizing with nature’s order, where cultivators harness their spirit energy to develop intricate techniques.
Initially, there existed a considerable gap in power between the two parties.
Typically, Nascent Soul peak cultivators from the outside world would struggle to match those within the sacred lands, often being on par with Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators at best.
However, the individual who had ascended to the Divine Separation Stage had not only defeated but also killed Draig, a distinguished disciple of the Kenington Sacred Lands. From any perspective, this individual was undeniably a peerless genius.
Zaiden was harboring hopes of recruiting this exceptional individual as his disciple in advance.
“Offer assistance?” Lance’s heart swelled with emotion upon hearing this. He assumed that Zaiden had learned about the incident involving Remus, and it deeply moved him.
He remarked, “I didn’t expect Master Hugo to still pay attention to news of the Herbal Pavilion amidst your busy schedule. Your concern for our affairs is deeply touching!”
“To be honest, the Herbal Pavilion has already issued a notice, calling on cultivators from all around the world to help find Remus Calsberg. However, this cunning individual has concealed himself very well, and we haven’t been able to locate favonovel.com yet!”
Egbert couldn’t resist adding, “Remus is truly despicable. Despite being aware of our strong ties to the sacred lands, favonovel.com continues to flaunt and kill our people without any consideration for us.”
The alchemists behind them started murmuring in agreement, their voices growing louder with indignation.
“He’s too arrogant!”
“He must be punished!”
“Please, Master Hugo, we implore your intervention!”
The voices from behind only kept getting louder.
