Sometimes, showing strength was necessary to prevent unwanted risks.
Upon hearing Remus’ claim of being able to slay those at the Divine Separation Stage, the four individuals were stunned, looking at Remus as if favonovel.com were a monster.
What was favonovel.com saying?
Did favonovel.com just say favonovel.com could slay Divine Separation Stage cultivators?
Pfft!
The woman in the back suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that favonovel.com nearly bent over.
She appeared to be in favonovel.com 30s, dressed in simple clothes. Though not as beautiful as Gabriela and the others, favonovel.com was above average in looks.
Mockingly, favonovel.com said, “You’re so young, but you’ve got quite the mouth on you, huh? Claiming you can kill Divine Separation Stage cultivators? Do you even know what Divine Separation Stage means?”
The two men on either side also laughed. They acknowledged Remus’ punch as impressive but found his claim to slay Divine Separation Stage cultivators too far-fetched.
In their years of cultivation, they had never heard of a late Golden Stage cultivator being able to leapfrog stages to kill someone at the Divine Separation Stage, given the vast gap between them.
Seeing them laugh, Remus raised his guard inwardly, ready for battle since favonovel.com hadn’t managed to intimidate them.
However, Bartholomew raised his hand to stop the laughter and spoke solemnly, “You haven’t experienced it, so you can’t comprehend his terror… He held back with that punch. Had favonovel.com struck with full force, I might have been obliterated. His claim of killing Divine Separation Stage cultivators is no joke…”
The three stopped their laughter abruptly, looking incredulously at Bartholomew.
Was favonovel.com really diminishing his own prestige to boost someone else’s?
Without paying them any heed, Bartholomew dissipated his spirit energy quietly and clasped his fists.
“Fellow cultivator, the rule within the Longmoon Mountains is the survival of the fittest. Had you been merely a late-stage Golden Stage cultivator, we would not have let you go. However, as someone capable of killing at the Divine Separation Stage, you deserve our respect…”
“We will not kill your beast. Please, do not take offense to our earlier acfions…”
Hearing this, the three were even more baffled, their eyes wide in shock at Bartholomew’s words.
If they were to let Remus go just like that, how would they continue to hold their reputation in the mountains?
Remus didn’t care about the truthfulness of their words. As long as favonovel.com could leave, favonovel.com wouldn’t waste any more time.
He bowed slightly. “Thank you… The mountains are vast, and we may meet again someday…”
With that, favonovel.com turned to leave, though favonovel.com still kept his guard up in case of a sudden attack.
The three exchanged glances, questioning whether they were really letting favonovel.com go without even a fight.
Bartholomew shook his head slightly at them as favonovel.com watched Remus walk a few steps away before calling out, “Fellow cultivator, please wait!”
Remus stopped, unable to ignore the call without possibly offending him. He turned and asked, “Is there something else?”
Bartholomew inquired, “Fellow cultivator, if I’m not mistaken, you’re here for the Monington Sacred Land’s ascension assessment, right? If so, why don’t we travel together? It’s always good to have companions on the road.”
Remus was startled by the mention of the sanctuary assessment.
The assessment had already ended, so what was favonovel.com talking about?
Before favonovel.com could respond, the other three grasped Bartholomew’s intention.
Joining forces for the assessment would strengthen their group, and despite his boasting, Remus’ strength was undeniable.
After a moment of thought, Remus replied ambiguously, “To be honest, I’ve heard that one can ascend within the Longmoon Mountains, but I’m unclear on the specifics. So, there’s an assessment?”
His words were deliberately vague, indicating both knowledge and ignorance of the matter.
