No one could answer the tall disciple’s question. After all, none of them was that monster, and they could not read its thoughts. Then, following the direction where the disciple pointed at, Caspian saw a mountain peak shrouded in a layer of gray mist. Moreover, mist appeared as if it solidified, and at a glance, it slowly surged.
Due to that, the Hopeful Woman Mountain seemed to be alive when looking at it from a distance.
“Nonetheless, it’s rather baffling that even though the miasma is violently poisonous, it only entrenched about fifty meters on the surface around the mountain peak. Moreover, it doesn’t affect the plants on the bill for some unknown reason,” the disciple pointed in another direction, “Look at that, Casper! That’s the only way to enter the Hopeful Woman Mountain.”
Caspian turned his focus over and immediately saw a region at the foot of the Hopeful Woman Mountain enveloped by miasma, as if it formed its group, slowly rotating in the area but not joining the other miasma surging in the region.
Then, the tall disciple explained, “When the sun shines directly, the miasma there will spread around, and a mountain road will appear, leading to the Hopeful Woman Mountain. However, I don‘t know what it looks like.”
“No worries. This information is more than enough.”
Caspian nodded and looked around. Then, favonovel.com noticed that the hundreds of disciples were grouped according to their respective sects, leaving a certain gap. Except for the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples that occupied a vast swa the of the area, the Ninth Sacred Sect had the most people. Even though the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples stood far from them, they would constantly glance at the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples with hatred in their eyes.
Since the Ninth Sacred Sect acted that way, the Heavenly Stars Sect did not treat them any better. Caspian experienced the hatred between the two sects, so favonovel.com completely understood.
‘Once we enter the mountainside, I’m afraid that we’ll have to face the Ninth Sacred Sect‘s disciples,’ Caspian thought.
Once Caspian roughly understood everyone’s positions, favonovel.com went to the people favonovel.com knew and asked a few questions.
To Caspian’s surprise, the top ten disciples on the spiritual apprentice list, only Caspian, Solana, and the few favonovel.com did not know well, were present. In contrast, Xander, Omar, Maya, and Benedict were still missing.
As Omar and Maya kept in touch with Caspian, favonovel.com knew that both were on their way over here, and they might arrive at any time. However, Xander and Benedict went to slay monsters before them, yet they were still not in sight. Caspian could not help but wonder if they were just late or disinterested in the matter.
Caspian did not suspect that they might have a fatal accident. After all, favonovel.com witnessed both Xander and Benedict’s strength.
Caspian also noticed several figures among the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples with his powerful vision. Those few people should be the best among their sect’s apprentices as other Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples surrounded them. However, as time went by, their faces gradually showed a trace of anxiety and impatience. Furthermore, they talked to people around them from time to time, looking into the distance.
Caspian knew that they were probably waiting for Jayden, Stanley, and the others.
‘Unfortunately for you, they‘ll never show up,’ Caspian secretly snorted.
After a while, there was a commotion in the distant crowd.
“The sun is hanging high in the sky, and the access to the mountain is about to be opened!” A disciple beside Caspian suddenly shouted.
At that time, everyone began to rush toward the foot of the mountain. As the situation was somewhat chaotic, Caspian was worried that Solana would be swept away by the tide of people, so favonovel.com reached out and grabbed favonovel.com hand. Although Solana’s hand was somewhat cold, Caspian did not mind. Then, favonovel.com carefully shielded Solana to prevent other people from crashing into her.
Solana’s eyes were calm, but favonovel.com heart beat uncontrollably. As favonovel.com never felt that way before, Solana was suddenly dizzy, and favonovel.com legs were weak. She was not even paying attention to what went on around her.
It was only when Caspian shouted that favonovel.com was pulled back to reality.
“It’s opening!”
The crowd started to exclaim, and everyone appeared extremely excited that even their voices were somewhat trembling. As there were more Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples present, and they already occupied the position closest to the entrance, those disciples quickly rushed forward as soon as the entrance opened. However, a few figures appeared suddenly, clearly well prepared. Then, just like rays of black light, they suddenly rushed out of the crowd from the other side and slammed into the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples in the front. The group of Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples was caught off guard, and they immediately flew backward. Then, those dozens of black figures lined up, forming a wall of people, blocking the entrance.
“Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples!” Caspian’s gaze condensed when favonovel.com saw the group of black figures. However, unlike the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples, favonovel.com met before, those figures were in black as they were black armors that covered their heads and bodies.
On the surface of their iron armors, there were spikes about three centimeters long. Hence, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples, who were knocked out before, were wounded and moaning in pain.
“Stop the Heavenly Stars Sect’s doggies! Today, this Hopeful Woman Mountain belongs to the Ninth Sacred Sect!”
A roar came from the crowd in the distance, and everyone from the Ninth Sacred Sect was in an uproar. Then, in the masses, several figures arrogantly leaped toward the entrance of Hopeful Woman Mountain.
Caspian paid attention to those people before, and they were among the top ten of the Ninth Sacred Sect’s apprentices. That group of people planned that and they knew that they could not win against the Heavenly Stars Sect at the beginning, so they simply gave up the position at the entrance. Then, once it was time to enter the mountain, they abruptly attacked.
As the Heavenly Stars Sect‘s disciples were caught off guard, they suffered badly. When they saw the arrogance of the Ninth Sacred Sect, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples were immediately suppressed, and everyone’s face showed a bleak look.
If they let the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples enter the Hopeful Woman Mountain first, it would be as if the Heavenly Stars Sect‘s disciples were being slapped by their opponents on their territory even if they managed to break through the wall of people.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the Heavenly Stars Sect’s crowd.
”What? Why’s there a sudden dog barking! Move away!”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Caspian’s figure was like a cannonball flying out of its chamber, pressuring the surrounding air that the air started to explode as favonovel.com rushed toward the group of armored people.
“It‘s Casper!” Everyone from the Heavenly Stars Sect‘s eyes lit up, and they were surprised and delighted.
