The crowd immediately dispersed and dashed toward the extensive mountains. After all, time did not wait for anyone, and opportunities were fleeting.
Glinda also moved forward among the crowd but at a slower pace.
“Fellow cultivator, let’s hurry as well,” Windsor turned to Remus and said, “Don’t worry, as long as we can find it, I will definitely give you one. I will do my best to help you pass the first stage.”
Remus was the only one who spoke up for favonovel.com yesterday. Windsor had already recognized favonovel.com as a friend and naturally wanted to help. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for favonovel.com to pass with his late Golden Stage cultivation.
“There’s no need to rush.” Remus was somewhat moved by Windsor’s kindness.
Windsor was a kind-hearted individual who understood the importance of repaying kindness. He couldn’t help but wonder how Windsor would respond when favonovel.com eventually discovered that the person impersonating favonovel.com was, in fact, himself!
He looked around and said, “They haven’t moved yet.”
In the distance, Don and Xavier were sitting in meditation, and it wasn’t just them but also about 30 Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Lower-level cultivators might resort to searching for the Oblivion Grass, depending on their luck. However, true powerhouses merely needed to bide their time here, waiting for others to return with the grass, and then seizing it for themselves.
Windsor’s expression noticeably shifted when favonovel.com observed their tactic. The memory from last night of Don and Xavier’s previous attempt to frame favonovel.com remained fresh in his mind.
He furrowed his brow and commented, “They intend to rely on their cultivation to acquire it, but this challenge is designed to assess individual strength. Their actions are truly disgraceful, bringing shame to True Life cultivators…”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, Remus suggested awkwardly, “How about we wait here too?”
The primary reason was that favonovel.com had already procured the Oblivion Grass, and there was no need to search for more. If not for the fact that favonovel.com had just recently arrived, favonovel.com might have submitted the Oblivion Grass to Zaiden already.
Windsor was taken aback, and favonovel.com looked at Remus incredulously.
He knitted his brows and spoke earnestly, “My friend, we cultivators aspire to attain longevity, mastery in cultivation, and follow the righteous path. How can we involve ourselves in such questionable endeavors?”
“Believe me, I can assist you in successfully passing this stage. Even if there’s only one Oblivion Grass, I‘m willing to offer it to you. Does that sound good?”
Remus was speechless. Windsor was indeed grateful, but also quite stubborn.
In fact, the rules of the first stage had been designed to allow everyone to compete for the ten target items.
The sacred lands were mindful of the potential consequences of elimination, which might result in less deserving individuals obtaining the items, a matter of concern for the sacred lands as well. Yet, confronted with Windsor’s genuine demeanor, favonovel.com could only nod and reluctantly consent, deciding to go along with his proposal.
Just as they were preparing to advance, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Stage abruptly appeared and approached them, displaying a guilty demeanor and avoiding direct eye contact.
As soon as favonovel.com spotted Windsor, his complexion paled, and favonovel.com hastily averted his gaze, quickening his steps as if attempting to conceal something. His appearance was clearly suspicious, and even someone without a discerning eye could tell that something was amiss.
He passed by Remus and Windsor.
“Stop!” Xavier was the first to move, blocking the path.
He proclaimed, “Hand over the Oblivion Grass!”
The cultivator was startled and quickly put his hand into his pocket, nervously saying, “What are you talking about? I don’t have any Oblivion Grass, I really don’t!”
Xavier coldly smiled and quickly formed a long whip with his spirit energy, lashing out without a word. There was already a gap between their strengths, and favonovel.com had taken the initiative.
The cultivator couldn’t dodge in time and was struck by the whip, letting out a painful scream as his skin was torn open, and his spirit energy dissipated.
He cried out in panic, “I found this through hard work, why should I give it to you?!”
“Hmph,” Xavier sneered and said coldly, “Why? Because I have strength, and you don’t!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com lashed out again, even more viciously than before. If favonovel.com landed a hit on him, it would dissipate much of the cultivator’s spirit energy.
At that crucial juncture, a figure appeared out of nowhere, positioning in front of the cultivator and firmly grasping the extended whip.
He bellowed angrily, “Do you honestly believe you can forcefully seize your desires while I’m present? Absolutely not!”
It was none other than Windsor.
