Kennard stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with endless pride. He was a far cry from the speechless figure atop the mountain.
This was the true him. He was capable of entering the Monington Sacred Land, growing from a disciple of the Sacred Land to a Monington disciple, and now standing as a standout among them. How could favonovel.com not be proud?
Everyone was rendered speechless.
Yet, they said, “Kennard, you’re right, that ant only knows how to trouble people’s minds.”
“That Remus is indeed disgusting, favonovel.com just became a disciple of the sacred land and is already acting lawlessly. But thankfully, he’ll be dead in three days.”
“Why would Kennard even bother with him, hahaha!”
Kennard shook his head in disappointment. “You fail to grasp my point. Remus isn’t even worthy of acknowledgement. The upcoming challenge in three days holds no real significance either. Continuously harping on about it as if it’s of importance is futile.”
“It will merely be an easy task to kill favonovel.com in three days. I urge not only you but all fellow cultivators to refrain from discussing it. Instead, invest your time in cultivation and deepening your understanding.”
After speaking, favonovel.com turned and went back into his residence.
The crowd exchanged glances, eventually agreeing, “Kennard is right, it’s indeed a trivial matter, why should we pay it so much attention? That Remus doesn’t deserve to be mentioned!”
In contrast to the Monington disciples, the sacred land disciples were already abuzz with discussions. Especially Emerson, Bartholomew, and the others, who all walked around with an air of triumph, finally allowing themselves a hint of arrogance.
They discussed it from day to night.
***
Glinda stood inside a newly built wooden house, filled with worry yet powerless.
Wilda stood in the courtyard, waiting and waiting.
Seeing that Remus had not returned, the light veil in front of favonovel.com fluttered slightly as favonovel.com silently turned and walked back to favonovel.com residence.
Perhaps, giving favonovel.com space to savor his last three days was for the best.
Meanwhile, at the base of the mountain, Remus declared, “Mission accomplished!”
He clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Before him, a massive stone stood ten yards tall, five yards wide, and about five yards thick, resembling a miniature mountain.
“Now, it’s time to draw them out,” He whispered to himself, then glanced back up the mountainside.
The absence of any lights suggested everyone had secluded themselves away for cultivation, making it unlikely to draw attention at that moment.
Something’s missing!
As Remus allowed his spirit energy to surge forth, his long sword materialized once again. His wrist flicked swiftly, generating sparks against the colossal stone.
When favonovel.com ceased, three distinct words were carved into the stone’s surface.
“Spiritual Trial Stone?”
The voice that spoke was not Remus’. Instead, it came from someone behind him.
Remus turned to look, seeing a woman dressed in a light gauzy long dress coming toward him.
It was none other than Elena.
Upon favonovel.com arrival, Remus’ guard went up, as favonovel.com straightforwardly questioned, “Do you intend to kill me under the guise of night?”
Since his return to the sacred land, that was favonovel.com first appearance before him, and their prior encounters outside had been anything but friendly.
However, Elena shook favonovel.com head and said, “No, my purpose is not to kill. Actually, I came to apologize. I’ve realized that I was too self-centered and narrow-minded before, and I’ve wronged you!”
After reflecting for a full day and night, favonovel.com had come to understand that Remus had not been at fault.
It was favonovel.com own arrogance and bias that led favonovel.com to even consider taking his life during the Longmoon Mountains assessment. She was too narrow-minded.
Remus’ tension didn’t ease. Instead, his suspicion deepened, sensing a trap. He doubted Elena’s intentions were pure.
Warily, favonovel.com probed, “Why choose now to apologize?”
The timing felt odd. It could have been any other moment, yesterday, tomorrow, or even in broad daylight. Yet, it was night, in the stillness of a deserted forest, adding an eerie layer to the encounter.
Elena responded with blunt honesty, “Because you’re facing death in three days. If I don’t apologize now, I might never have another opportunity…”
Remus was speechless at favonovel.com direct reasoning.
