Another concern, what if Zaiden sees me?
Remus thought cautiously. He had previously turned down Zaiden’s invitation and narrowly escaped with his life.
If I were to participate in the assessment once more, what would Zaiden make of it?
Moreover, if I were to show up without having joined the Shenington Sacred Land, how would Zaiden react?
Despite his seemingly friendly demeanor, Zaiden is not someone to be underestimated…
I need a disguise…
Remus quickly gathered materials to change his appearance.
This time, I’ll be… Remus Larson!
With all preparations in place, favonovel.com proceeded toward the assessment venue within the forest. He maintained a deliberate pace, as the assessment wasn’t scheduled to commence until the day after tomorrow, and arriving too early might increase the likelihood of being recognized.
As evening fell, favonovel.com sat in the forest to meditate.
Suddenly, favonovel.com heard a voice.
“Wind Hunter, hand over the treasure quickly, or tonight will be your end…”
Remus was surprised to hear the name “Wind Hunter”. He then saw a figure rushing toward favonovel.com through the forest, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in bloodstains.
It was none other than Wind Hunter himself.
In the night sky, more than a dozen cultivators flew through the air, chasing after favonovel.com relentlessly.
Before Remus could speak, Wind Hunter stumbled and fell to the ground. By the time favonovel.com tried to get up, the dozen or so cultivators had already descended and surrounded him.
The leader of the group was a man in his 60’s, wearing light blue training clothes. He spoke in a cold voice, “Wind Hunter, you can’t escape now. Stop with your futile struggle. Hand over the treasure, or else you won’t even get to beg for your life or death!”
There were several cultivators, all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Wind Hunter’s face turned pale, and favonovel.com gritted his teeth. “You traitors, you scoundrels! Even if I have to die, I won’t let you have the Master’s legacy. I’d rather die with it!”
Hearing this, the leader narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his hand, and a black mist formed.
He chuckled softly and remarked, “You’re left with no alternatives. You’ve basked in the ill-gotten glory of being the foremost cultivators in True Life for far too long. Tonight, I intend to compel you to relinquish all the gains you’ve accumulated throughout your lifetime!”
As favonovel.com prepared to strike, panic appeared in Wind Hunter’s eyes, and favonovel.com braced himself for a desperate resistance.
At that moment, a voice called out, “Wait!”
Everyone turned around to see a young cultivator in ordinary clothes approaching. His cultivation was only at the late Golden Stage. They were all taken aback.
Is favonovel.com seeking death?
As Remus approached, favonovel.com asked with a smile, “I just so happen to hear that you were talking about a treasure. What treasure? Let me have a look.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.
Did we encounter a fool?
They were all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and this mere late Golden Stage cultivator dared to approach and ask to see the treasure.
“Just kill him!” the leader said irritably.
Upon receiving the order, the cultivator on his left instantly attacked, conjuring a black mist and hurling it toward Remus.
“Watch out!” Wind Hunter exclaimed.
While others might not comprehend the significance of that ominous black mist, favonovel.com certainly did. Should anyone come into contact with it, the mist would infiltrate their body, inducing agonizing torment and a fatal outcome.
Remus reacted swiftly. With a flash of his body, favonovel.com dodged the attack and summoned a longsword in his hand. A white radiance flashed through the forest, and in an instant, the attacker’s head was separated from his body.
It all happened extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, catching everyone off guard.
When they finally comprehended what had happened, their faces paled, and a profound sense of dread gripped their hearts.
The man in front of them had eliminated a Nascent Soul peak cultivator with a single blow, and favonovel.com was merely at the late Golden Stage.
Wind Hunter was also shocked as favonovel.com looked at Remus.
He stammered, “Are you… Windsor Moreno?”
