The disciples realized it was indeed the work of Remus!
If that was the case, it meant favonovel.com hadn’t left, hadn’t hidden, and was likely still around them. This would explain how favonovel.com could have accurately killed so many fellow disciples.
Almost simultaneously, they all turned their heads around, their eyes constantly searching.
But before them were rolling pink haze and the endless mountains behind them. Between the haze and the mountains, there was only a narrow line compressed. Apart from the corpses, they couldn’t see anyone!
“Let’s not scare ourselves. That brat is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. How could favonovel.com have slaughtered so many fellow disciples, and with a single blow?” a disciple gathered the courage to speak.
But as soon as the words fell, another trembling disciple replied, “But what about Toby? He also beheaded Toby. Is it possible favonovel.com deliberately showed weakness to lure us here to catch him?”
After this was said, the scene fell silent once again.
Then another disciple asked, “But why would favonovel.com kill them? We had no grievances in the past, no enmity recently. Even if we came here to catch favonovel.com in the haze, favonovel.com didn’t need to kill us!”
“After all, his goal is to enter the sacred land. He just needs to cross the haze and continue forward, right?”
Most people fell silent at this statement.
Indeed, there was no need to kill…
Is favonovel.com addicted to killing?
Even if favonovel.com is, not only would it waste his time, but it would also pose a considerable risk. There was simply no need for it…
“Huh…” Another disciple exclaimed in shock, “Look carefully! There are traces of them being searched on their bodies. Could it be… For the inner pills?”
“It must be for the inner pills!” Someone quickly replied, trembling, “If that’s the case, everything makes sense. Have you heard this phrase before, a true hunter always appears as prey?”
“He deliberately led us here. His goal is the inner pills on our bodies!”
Boom!
Everyone’s minds were blown, and it all made sense now. That guy was being deliberate. He was the real hunter!
Thinking of this, all the disciples felt numb, feeling like millions of eyes were watching them, even though they couldn’t see anyone. The enemy was hidden in the shadows while they were exposed to the light.
They needed to figure out how to handle this situation.
“I’m not looking for favonovel.com anymore. I’m going back to cultivate in the mountains!” a disciple’s face turned pale, quickly turning to leave for the mountains.
It was too dangerous to stay here. Although there was a bright future, survival was more important.
“Can you guarantee he’s not in the deep mountains?” a disciple reminded.
Crunch!
The disciple suddenly froze in place.
Not only him, but other disciples were also struck by this realization. They hadn’t even confirmed where favonovel.com was. Neither advancing nor retreating. They weren’t sure what to do.
“If you hand over the inner pills, I can spare your lives!” Remus finally couldn’t help but speak, “Otherwise, death!”
The disciple quickly pinpointed Remus’s location, prompting everyone to look his way. However, unlike before, there was no excitement among them, only shock.
Remus continued, “My patience is limited. I’ll give you only three seconds. At this moment, when your spiritual energy is at its lowest, and your mind is most unstable, you must seize the opportunity. You’ll only have to run if you stabilize or your spiritual energy recovers.”
“Shut up! You think you can provoke us like that? We’re all in the middle stage of the Divine Separation Stage, and you’re outnumbered. What can you possibly do?” one of the disciples challenged.
“Together, we’re strong enough to make a peak Divine Separation Stage disciple back down. What can you do to us?” added another.
“If you’re brave enough, come out and fight!” they taunted, though none stepped forward to initiate.
Remus smiled calmly, “Perhaps I can’t defeat all of you, but… I can certainly take down half of you. If any of you are sure you won’t be the ones to die, feel free to keep acting tough.”
