Maya glanced around. Even after making sure that Wesley was yet to return, Maya still whispered, “I heard from others that when Elder Wesley was at his peak, favonovel.com was a Holy Land Realm cultivator.”
Caspian hummed in reply. Indeed, there was such a rule in the Heavenly Stars Sect where not every cultivator would be a disciple. Once some of the disciples reached a certain age and confirmed that they had no hope in ascension or other reasons that caused them to be unwilling to ascend, they could choose not to be a disciple and seek a job in the sect. It could be either being in charge of Heavenly Stars Sect’s affairs or even holding a position in the sect.
It was apparent that as Wesley stopped at the Holy Land Realm for too long, and as favonovel.com aged, his energy also began to deteriorate. When Wesley realized that there was no hope for favonovel.com to ascend, favonovel.com took the initiative to serve as an elder in the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Maya continued, “Everyone knows that Elder Wesley’s loyal to the sect. However, rumor has it that during one of the missions favonovel.com accepted, favonovel.com was severely injured. The incident caused his cultivation base to decline, and Elder Wesley dropped to the third-stage Pulse Control Realm. Hence, his personality has become strange. However, none of the seniors who told me about this were willing to tell me more, and I don’t know what exactly is odd about him. Nonetheless, I feel it personally.”
”Noah said the same thing too,” Caspian replied.
“Sigh. Let’s just ignore it. Even though Elder Wesley is a man of few words and often ignores others, the mission this time doesn’t require us to be close to the elder. Thus, as long as we can finish the task safely, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Maya answered with a smile.
As the two chatted, Wesley returned. However, favonovel.com did not stop but just waved at the two and said, “Follow me!”
Under Wesley’s lead, they walked for quite a journey.
Caspian noticed that many people went in the same direction as them. Then, the group of about hundreds of people stopped at a snowy area as if they waited for something. Caspian took the opportunity to observe around, and favonovel.com saw two deep wheel marks on the snow. Soon, Caspian understood what went on. Indeed, just as favonovel.com expected, it was not long before favonovel.com heard a melodious bell rang from a distance.
A large carriage drove toward them. The carrier was much bigger than those Caspian saw before, and it was about 20 meters long with a closed area all over. What was more surprising was the carrier was not pulled by anything, but it just drove toward everyone and stopped. However, the people around them, even the ordinary mortals, did not appear to be fazed. Instead, they were calm.
“How did this…” Maya was confused.
“Formation,” before Maya even finished favonovel.com sentence, Caspian already interrupted, “By using formation to move through Darnley Valley will enable the carrier to pass through the valley accurately and stably without anyone controlling it. The setting of the array must be remarkably delicate. It’s not an exaggeration to say the entire South Earlington, or even the whole Earlington of Efrax, only the Heavenly Stars Sect can set up such an array.”
After favonovel.com said that, Caspian looked at Wesley. Although Wesley did not show many expressions, his eyes showed approval and pride. It was apparent that Caspian’s praises were right, and it was also proven to satisfy the elderly.
“That made sense! I thought we were supposed to walk there,” Maya said, sticking favonovel.com tongue out and laughing.
As they chatted, everyone began to board the carrier. However, several warriors forced their way ahead of the ordinary people by relying on their muscular bodies. Naturally, ordinary people would not fight with the warriors, so they could only swallow their anger and let the warriors enter first.
When Maya saw the scene, favonovel.com was indignant, and favonovel.com wanted to stop them. Suddenly, Wesley let out a cough and stopped her. “Don’t meddle in other people’s business.”
“But…” Maya wanted to argue.
“Are you trying to go against an elder’s order?” Wesley glared, and his tone sounded stern.
Maya clenched favonovel.com firsts, and favonovel.com sighed. “No, Elder Wesley.”
Later, Wesley seemed to become an ordinary petite old man when favonovel.com got into the carrier. Besides that, favonovel.com would not even stop anyone from cutting his line and entering first. When other people saw favonovel.com as the weak elderly man who appeared to be afraid of causing trouble, they immediately thought favonovel.com was an easy target to bully. In the blink of an eye, more people squeezed toward his front.
Soon, Caspian and Maya were pushed to the back too. If it were before, Caspian would have directly sent these unreasonable people flying across the room. Not only ordinary people but even warriors should not act so brazenly. Even if that person were a cultivator, Caspian would not be afraid of him.
Regardless of whether Caspian would win them, no one would dare to mess with Caspian and the rest, even if their realms were lower as they were from the Heavenly Stars Sect Nevertheless, Wesley seemed to have forgotten his identity and that favonovel.com was a cultivator at that moment. Instead, Wesley just let the crowd squeeze toward the front one after another with favonovel.com sandwiching in between.
Maya was angered at the scene. On the other hand, Caspian could not understand Wesley’s intention either, and favonovel.com thought Wesley was a cowardly elder. When the three of them got on board, the carrier was almost packed. Thankfully, there were still a few spaces left at the end of the carriage, and they took their seats.
Whether it was Caspian or Maya, it was their first time sitting in a carriage driven by a formation. Additionally, ordinary people and warriors were on the ride, and such an experience was rare. Hence, they quickly forgot about the bitterness before.
Wesley seemed to be used to that. As soon as favonovel.com boarded the carriage, favonovel.com sat at a corner, shutting his eyes as favonovel.com took a rest. Then, the carriage quickly drove for half a day.
Caspian felt as if the speed gradually slowed down, and the temperature in the carriage also seemed to drop significantly. Later, Caspian stood and walked toward the end of the ride as there was a backdoor.
Next, Caspian lifted the curtain and peeped outside. He instantly frowned. Maya stood behind favonovel.com and saw the scene, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “It’s snowing so heavily!”
Everything outside was covered in white, and snow fell heavily. Furthermore, the sky appeared silver, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.
“Something’s not right…” At that time, Wesley suddenly commented.
They did not know when the frail-looking old man woke up and stood behind them. His eyes were focused on the dense snow.
Caspian asked, “Elder Wesley, how long does it usually take for us to pass through Darnley Valley?”
“Usually, it’ll take us about more than half a day. However, the carrier is slowing down due to the dense snow. If that goes on, it might take us more than two days, “Wesley answered, “However, the blizzard is strange. I’ve never met such a situation before. What’s happening?”
Caspian turned around and looked at the carriage. It seemed the heavy snow slowly influenced the atmosphere in the carriage, and uncomfortable energy slowly spread.
