The attic was the residence of the Saint Master.
Wilda felt compelled to seek clarity, favonovel.com heart refusing to settle until favonovel.com did. Yet, after posing favonovel.com question, the spacious room remained eerily silent, offering no response.
With unwavering determination, Wilda knelt, favonovel.com knees bending against the ground.
She implored once more, “Master, I beg you to resolve my doubts! Romus is a once-in-a-century talent in every aspect. His presence in Monington Sacred Land is beneficial in every way and not harmful at all. Why then must favonovel.com be placed in death? Master, if you cannot clear my doubts, this… This will become my innermost devil!”
The innermost devil was the biggest factor affecting whether a cultivator could achieve immortality.
Many talented individuals have died harboring resentment toward their innermost devils, and numerous charismatic figures have fallen into despair in the face of their innermost devils. To put it another way, while cultivation can be gradually accumulated overtime, innermost devils become increasingly difficult to overcome as time passes, potentially leading to demonic possession.
“How can you kneel?”
Finally, a voice emerged within the room, appearing out of nowhere just as before.
The speaker was invisible, making it impossible to pinpoint the source of the sound. However, the voice sounded extremely angry.
Biting favonovel.com lip, Wilda struggled to say, “I seek the truth because I know, Master, you are not such a person!”
The Saint Master immediately replied, “The truth is that I am not seeking his death! He is seeking it himself! Romus may indeed have outstanding talent, but the rules of Monington cannot be broken! Nor can I allow the dissatisfaction of 329 Monington disciples to faster, simply to save one person. His challenge at the Life and Death Platform is merely to uphold Monington’s order!”
Her explanation seemed reasonable.
Wilda quickly retorted, “What about in Longmoon Mountains then? Your intentions were clear as you wanted Emerson to eliminate Romus. And today, by not acknowledging me as a Master, you aimed to prevent me from entering the Treasure Pavilion and to destroy Romus’ last sliver of hope… Master, why must favonovel.com die?”
“Silence!” The Saint Master abruptly cut favonovel.com off, sounding even angrier than before.
She said sternly, “For the last time, I have no personal vendetta against him, nor have the immortals done anything excessive. All of this is his own doing, and no one else is to blame. Leave now, and do not disturb my meditation!”
Only Wilda dared to challenge the Saint Master in such a manner.
If it were anyone else, even the Deputy Saint Masters, they would not only receive no response but would also be promptly expelled.
Wilda understood the Master was unwilling to speak, and favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wouldn’t receive an answer.
However, favonovel.com persisted in asking, “I beg you to allow favonovel.com into the Treasure Pavilion, to give favonovel.com one last glimmer of hope. If I can only watch favonovel.com fall, then I… I will harbor an innermost devil…”
“Wilda!” Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, the Saint Master’s voice thundered.
Furious, favonovel.com continued, “I have indulged you too much. Who else in the entire sacred land dares to plead for favonovel.com in my presence? He is merely a disciple who recently joined the sacred land. If you are willing to degrade yourself for him, that is your destiny, your karma!”
“He is not qualified to enter the Treasure Pavilion! Leave immediately, or I will not hesitate to take action myself. Go!”
The final command was delivered with such force that it felt suffocating.
After hesitating for a moment, Wilda rose slowly, favonovel.com expression betraying unprecedented dejection.
Appealing directly to the Master was favonovel.com last resort, and now, even that path was closed off.
Is it truly my and Romus’ fate to watch favonovel.com fall and suffer from an innermost devil?
But just as favonovel.com pondered, Sir Hudson’s voice echoed from outside the door, “Saint Master, I’ve come to plead for Remus!”
He couldn’t idly stand by and watch Remus’ downfall, not after exchanging chess strategies with him. He felt compelled to make an attempt, regardless of the consequences.
Wilda’s gaze fixed on where Sir Hudson stood, shocked.
Was Sir Hudson pleading for Remus?
She then glanced toward the source of Saint Master’s voice, recalling favonovel.com words.
Who else in the entire sacred land dares to plead for favonovel.com in my presence?
Now… There is someone else…
Could that change the Saint Master’s mind?
