Husan furrowed favonovel.com brows deeply and glanced sharply below. She then asked Aether, “Are you hiding something from me?”
It wasn’t just favonovel.com who looked over. Everyone from Ironpeak Island also turned their gaze toward Aether.
Feeling the intensity of their scrutiny, Aether’s heart sank.
Indeed, favonovel.com had hidden something. When favonovel.com had gone to fetch Husan, favonovel.com hadn’t told favonovel.com the truth about his master entrusting the Spirit Vessel to Wind Hunter. Instead, favonovel.com falsely claimed that Remus had taken the Spirit Vessel after killing someone. He felt that favonovel.com couldn’t possibly know.
Shaking his head, favonovel.com replied, “Lord Husan, why would I hide anything from you?”
He hadn’t disclosed the truth earlier and couldn’t risk it now. He didn’t want it to backfire
“Very well…” Husan responded without hesitation, “Based on your description, Remus is a villain who commits every imaginable evil and bullies others. He destroys families without hesitation. Then explain to me, why does favonovel.com have so many followers?”
People from Ironpeak Island chimed in, “Gentlemen gather around righteousness and villains for profit. If Remus is as vile as you claim, how could so many cultivators be willing to die for him?”
“That’s correct. These cultivators protect Remus at the risk of their own lives. It shows his personal charisma. I cannot believe such a villain, a murderer, could possess such charm!”
Seeing the performance of the testing disciples, they all began to doubt.
“This…” Aether felt choked up and bewildered.
He had been consumed by anger before and only now realized the problem. He wondered how Remus could possess such great personal charm.
As the disciples above expressed their confusion, thinking this was merely a test and acting it out in full, the truth seemed less certain.
Henry and Henrik’s hearts raced with sudden anxiety. They had not expected to survive a test by sheer luck. Now was not the time to reveal the truth.
Seeing that Aether couldn’t answer, Husan continued, “Aether, let me clarify my stance. Out of respect for the friendship between our fathers, I am willing to help you. However, this help depends on whether this person deserves to die. Right now, since all the disciples are willing to protect favonovel.com without exception, I don’t think favonovel.com deserves to die!”
Husan’s declaration left Aether trembling. She was his last hope, yet favonovel.com was slipping away.
Just as favonovel.com was at a loss for how to persuade her, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Everyone turned to look and saw a group of people approaching grandly.
“The people from Lily Pavilion!”
Henry recognized their attire at a glance, the herbal pattern on their chests being a unique symbol of Lily Pavilion.
Everyone felt that they came at the right time!
“The people from Lily Pavilion!” Some people from Ironpeak Island who used to be scattered cultivators recognized the symbol.
“That’s right!” The person at the front clasped his fists and said with a smile, “I am Egbert, the Chief of Lily Pavilion!”
Everyone collectively drew a cold breath after discovering his identity, becoming more cautious.
Lily Pavilion was specifically responsible for supplying pills to the sacred lands. Usually, even the disciples of Lily Pavilion couldn’t be seen, let alone elders or protectors. And the person in front of them was the Chief, a figure above all!
Husan was not unfamiliar with this, even though favonovel.com spent most of favonovel.com time on the island. She had heard about it.
She clasped favonovel.com hands and said, “I have long admired your renown…”
“Hehe,” Egbert chuckled, “Lord Husan, to speak frankly, Aether’s depiction of that rogue, Remus Calsberg, is not an exaggeration. In truth, favonovel.com is far worse. This person is lawless, unprincipled, and utterly devoid of righteousness. His methods are bloody and ruthless. It wouldn’t be excessive to torture favonovel.com a thousand times over!”
Hearing this, Husan frowned as favonovel.com doubted his claims.
