When Wilda heard the response, favonovel.com eyes widened in disbelief beneath favonovel.com veil.
She had harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that Elena might have falsely claimed it was the Saint Master’s order. After all, there was no reason for the Saint Master to let disciples who had already entered the sacred lands fight each other to the death, as it would result in losses for Monington.
But Morris and others’ words confirmed it was indeed the Saint Master’s command.
Why would the Saint Master have such a demand?
Elena’s shock was palpable, favonovel.com disbelief mirrored in favonovel.com wide eyes. She had entirely made it up, yet it turned out to be true.
In a mix of confusion and curiosity, favonovel.com pressed, “Did the Saint Master truly decree this?”
Morris and the others nodded in confirmation.
Seeing them nod, Wilda’s heart sank.
If they were left to fight each other, the one standing last would undoubtedly be Emerson, whose cultivation far exceeded everyone else’s.
As for Remus, the one favonovel.com had placed great hopes on, his demise seemed inevitable, particularly in his current state of defenselessness.
Elena’s laughter was brimming with conceit, cutting through the tension.
The reason behind the Saint Master’s supposed command baffled her, but its inadvertent alignment with favonovel.com interests was a welcome boon.
She taunted Wilda, “What now, Wilda Hewitt? You doubted and even assaulted me. Worse yet, you challenged the Saint Master’s order. Rest assured, your actions will not go unreported. You will face the consequences!”
Wilda was left speechless.
According to the Saint Master’s command, favonovel.com indeed was in the wrong from the beginning.
Meanwhile, Remus trembled all over, his eyes filled with horror as favonovel.com looked at Wilda.
Is it really her? What a coincidence…
He had never expected to meet favonovel.com under such circumstances, especially in such a sorry state.
Elena scoffed, finally standing up, proud like a victor. “Wilda, I won’t pursue your crimes for now. But since you can’t oversee the assessment properly, I’ll take over. From now on, you should just watch!”
Then, favonovel.com turned to Remus with a gleeful look. She remembered their confrontation during the True Life assessment and how favonovel.com had wished to crush favonovel.com to dust. Unfortunately, favonovel.com had no opportunity then.
Now, favonovel.com had walked into a trap as fate would have it, and favonovel.com wouldn’t let favonovel.com off easily.
She announced loudly, “Listen carefully, everyone. This is the Saint Master’s command. No need for further words. Show your skills and win impressively, got it?”
Her emphasis on “win impressively” indicated favonovel.com was no longer worried about being exposed or running out of time to kill Remus. The threat of exposure or the pressure of time no longer concerned her.
“Understood!” Emerson immediately caught on, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
Despite his initial failure to eliminate Remus, favonovel.com was presented with another chance, albeit with a demand for a more spectacular victory. The other 13 cultivators turned pale and panicked, wondering if they could survive.
“Begin!” Elena didn’t waste any time and blurted out the command.
Emerson released his spirit energy and rushed toward Remus impatiently.
Almost simultaneously, the entire field froze again, everyone immobilized in place by Wilda.
Elena turned favonovel.com head abruptly, angrily asking, “Wilda, what are you doing?! You know it’s the Saint Master’s command, and yet you still want to go against it? Are you trying to oppose the Saint Master?”
Wilda didn’t even look at her. Instead, favonovel.com turned to Remus, feeling a bit bitter.
He is clearly talented but faced such a trial… Emerson is an insurmountable barrier for him…
At that point, all favonovel.com could do was make one last effort.
She said, “You can opt out of the assessment. If you quit, you won’t have to face this challenge…”
If favonovel.com didn’t participate in the assessment, favonovel.com could still survive.
