“That’s possible…” Dylan nodded in agreement.
Now that the legacy had been obtained by someone, It was indeed possible that Cauldron Peak would collapse.
Wyatt glanced at Thaddeus and the others who had already descended the mountain, then whispered, “Everyone, there’s something I need to discuss with you. Please follow me to a more secluded spot.”
Wyatt intended to expose Thaddeus’ plan of allying with Sky Slasher Sect against all the alchemists.
Regardless of whether Dylan and the others believed favonovel.com or not, favonovel.com was going to spill the beans.
In response, the curious Dylan followed Wyatt toward a secluded area with the others.
At that moment, Thaddeus was staring at the collapsed Cauldron Peak, his brows furrowed in frustration.
“D*mn it,” favonovel.com muttered, “I didn’t manage to obtain the Medicine God’s legacy or find any treasures, and now it’s collapsed. Such rotten luck!”
“President Surrey, I don’t see anyone from the Dupont family. Could it be possible that none of them managed to escape?” Ernesto said.
Only then did Thaddeus realize that not a single person from the Dupont family, including Vincent, had shown up.
His expression turned grim, his demeanor frosty as favonovel.com said, “If there’s not a single person from the Dupont family to be found, it’s not that they didn’t manage to escape. Rather, they might have all been murdered before Cauldron Peak collapsed.”
“Murdered? Who could have possibly wiped out the entire Dupont family?” Ernesto was slightly taken aback.
“Was someone scheming against us while we were plotting to kill them?”
After Thaddeus finished speaking, favonovel.com turned his gaze toward Wyatt and the others. He was still unaware that Wyatt had already discovered their plan.
Maxence hurriedly approached the group of alchemists and exclaimed loudly, “Everyone, Cauldron Peak has already collapsed. I urge you all to leave Medicine God Island as quickly as possible. I have prepared the spirit ship for you!”
“The Sky Slasher Sect has suddenly launched an attack on the island, and my father has already gone to fend them off. I urge you all to leave as soon as possible, or it may be too late!”
“What? Sky Slasher Sect has attacked the island?”
Many were left confused, for they had absolutely no idea what was going on.
A faint smile played on Thaddeus’ lips. “I didn’t expect the Sky Slasher Sect to keep their word. They really did launch their attack ahead of time.”
“President Surrey, should we also take action?” asked Ernesto.
“Let’s just wait and see for now. We’ll observe their reaction first. Now that Cauldron Peak has collapsed, Medicine God Island has lost its significance. What if we take action now and Sky Slasher Sect suddenly withdraws? By then, wouldn’t we become public enemy number one? We would become outcasts in Ethereal Realm,” Thaddeus elaborated.
Now that Cauldron Peak had collapsed, Medicine God Island had lost its value. If Sky Slasher Sect were to learn of it, they surely wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths, especially for a worthless island.
If Sky Slasher Sect were to withdraw, Thaddeus and his men couldn’t possibly take on all the alchemists of Ethereal Realm.
“President Surrey, your analysis is correct. For now, we’ll just wait and see how things unfold.” Ernesto gave a nod.
“Observing the situation is only the first step. Next, we need to encourage these individuals to resist Sky Slasher Sect. Only then can Sky Slasher Sect attack them…”
“But now, Medicine God Island is no longer suitable as a battlefield. As long as we incite these people to resist Sky Slasher Sect. It will just be a matter of time before we profit from their conflict,” Thaddeus said with an air of smug satisfaction.
“Exactly, let Sky Slasher Sect clash with these people. We’ll clean up the mess later. Your strategy is truly brilliant,” Ernesto replied in a flattering manner.

At that moment, Wyatt had already informed both the Zorn and Zeever families about Thaddeus’ conspiracy.
When they learned that Thaddeus was colluding with Sky Slasher Sect, many were filled with righteous indignation. However, no one chose to address it at that time, pretending to be oblivious instead.
“Mr. Maxence, we came to Medicinal God Island to hold the Alchemist Fair. Now that Sky Slasher Sect has attacked us, how could we possibly flee?”
“When it comes to Demonic Cultivators like those In Sky Slasher Sect, everyone must take it upon themselves to punish them. We, too, have an undeniable responsibility. We simply cannot allow the inhabitants of Medicine God Island to bear this burden alone. We should all band together and resist Sky Slasher Sect…” Thaddeus stepped forward, speaking in an inspiring tone.
