Based on Sebastian’s plan, about five days would be used for the journey, whereas the remaining two days would be used to complete their mission. In truth, that would be accurate as picking fire spirit fruits would not take much time, and the journey back-and-forth would take more effort.
Two days later, everyone approached the Flaming Crows Ridge, where the fire spirit fruits were found.
The Flaming Crows Ridge was located west of the Heavenly Stars Sect, and according to the legend, a giant, shapeshifting demon passed by and killed creatures here. Then, a Heavenly Stars Sect’s Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator came and defeated the shapeshifting demon by attacking it from a high altitude. As the great demon fell and smashed to the ground, it formed the Flaming Crows Ridge, whose temperature was much higher than its surroundings.
Before this, Caspian found out from Sebastian and the rest that shapeshifting demons were equivalent to Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators. As for other monsters, wild beasts would be comparable to warriors, and monsters would be of Pulse Control Realm. Those monsters with early-stage wisdom would be equivalent to the Holy Land Realm.
As for the higher realm, Sebastian and the others never came in contact with those demons, so they were unsure. After all, let alone a shapeshifting demon, a monster with early-stage wisdom would be unbearable for them.
“Once we enter the Flaming Crows Ridge, we’ll have to walk about another four hours before entering the flame-toothed gophers’ territories. Everyone, please be more careful and don’t alert them. I’ll lead the way, and Yonah will be at the back. Heidi, Nana, and Casper will walk in between us, “Sebastian ordered.
Everyone nodded. After finishing preparing, they entered the Flaming Crows Ridge and suddenly saw a silhouette on the nearby hill. Caspian noticed that the person was wearing the Heavenly Stars Sect’s attire. Just as favonovel.com was about to ask if other disciples were doing the same task, favonovel.com noticed Sebastian and the rest did not look so great.
Heidi appeared the worst. Her face was ashen, and favonovel.com was shaking uncontrollably.
At this time, the figure on the hill nearby also noticed them and hurriedly rushed over. In just a few seconds, the person arrived less than ten meters away from them and laughed loudly, “What a coincidence, Heidi! We’re all out doing tasks, but we can still bump into each other. Are you still going to disagree that we’re fated for each other?”
The person’s voice was deafening, and as soon as favonovel.com spoke, Caspian felt his eardrums hurting. Moreover, his blood also ineffably surged, and his chest felt uncomfortable.
When Caspian looked at the disciple again, favonovel.com could see his appearance now. The guy was tall and burly, and his face was square and angular. If Caspian did not see favonovel.com with his own eyes, favonovel.com would not have believed that there were people in the world that could have such a square face. It was as if a box was attached to the person’s shoulder!
However, his mannerism was extremely imposing, and when favonovel.com stood there, it felt as if dark clouds were coming, and it was even difficult to breathe.
At this time, the person ignored everyone else, and favonovel.com was only staring at Heidi. At this time, Heidi’s face was ashen, and favonovel.com was tightly clenching favonovel.com tiny fists until favonovel.com hands were trembling.
“Asher, what a coincidence! Are you here for your mission too?” Then, Sebastian blocked everyone behind him.
When his vision was blocked, Asher Klum’s eyes flashed with gloominess, and favonovel.com turned to Sebastian. “Sebastian, it’s you! I’ve indeed accepted a mission and was just passing by.”
Asher spoke the last few words through gritted teeth. Moreover, Sebastian and the rest had been standing here for some time, yet favonovel.com acted as if favonovel.com had just noticed them. Thus, how could one not be irritated by Asher?
Caspian was not a fool, and favonovel.com could tell that Asher was interested in Heidi, but Heidi did not reciprocate his feelings. However, Caspian could not tell why the rest of them were afraid of Asher. From his realm, Asher was a mid-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm, which was not higher than Sebastian’s, yet Sebastian seemed to be very careful around him. Despite being ignored, Sebastian was not angry at all.
“Since you’re busy with your mission, we won‘t delay your time any longer. Let’s gather again once we return to the sect.”
“Wait a minute!” Asher shouted and blocked everyone’s way.
Soon, everyone’s expressions changed.
“Asher, is there anything else?” Sebastian’s face was unreadable.
“Didn’t you hear me just now?” Asher replied arrogantly, “I said Heidi and I are fated to marry each other. We met by chance here, yet you’re trying to separate us. What’s your motive, Sebastian?”
Asher did not regard Sebastian as his senior anymore, and his tone was rude and strange. However, Asher did look ridiculous but annoying at the same time as favonovel.com shook his square head.
Asher did not have any self-awareness. Instead, favonovel.com crossed his arms in front of favonovel.com and grinned as favonovel.com looked at them as if they were a bunch of insignificant beings.
Soon, Sebastian’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but his tone remained calm. It was evident that Sebastian was unwilling to argue with Asher. “Asher, I think there must be a misunderstanding. We only have a short time for this mission, and we hope you can understand.”
“Oh? What mission? Why don’t you let me join?” As soon as Asher spoke, everyone’s expression turned uglier. Then, favonovel.com turned to Heidi and uttered word by word, “With me in your team, you’ll complete your mission easily. Don’t you agree, Heidi? We can even improve our relationship.”
Heidi’s face was as white as a sheet, and favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth hard. Tears almost fell from favonovel.com cheeks.
“Asher, we’ve already discussed the arrangement of responsibility and allocation of the sect contribution points. If you join us right now, you’ll put me in a difficult situation,” Sebastian explained.
“You‘ve already arranged everything? That’s even easier.” Asher waved his hands and swept his gaze across the few people. Finally, favonovel.com stopped at Caspian.
Caspian‘s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The next second, Asher pointed at Caspian as favonovel.com sneered, “Get rid of this b*stard, and I’ll replace his spot. He’s just a first-stage Pulse Control Realm trash, and he’ll only hold you back. Let me join you to increase your overall strength. Hey, idiot. I’m sure you’re willing to back down and let me join instead, right?”
Asher‘s tone was threatening, and favonovel.com looked at Caspian as if favonovel.com would kill favonovel.com if favonovel.com dared to disobey Asher. Then, everyone’s expressions changed again, and they all turned to look at Caspian.
Caspian also did not expect that this annoying problem would be his now. If favonovel.com agreed to Asher’s request, then favonovel.com would be offending Sebastian and the rest. However, if favonovel.com disagreed, favonovel.com would provoke Asher, who seemed to be more powerful than Sebastian.
No matter what, there would surely be an unhappy side. This matter was unrelated to him, yet it turned into an unexpected disaster for Caspian.
