Wanting a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple to defeat an entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple was still possible if the first-stage cultivator could improve his realm. Moreover, there was almost no chance of winning for the lower realm disciple against the higher realm opponent.
As Caspian only ascended to the peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm a few days ago, favonovel.com could not be promoted to the second stage even if favonovel.com utilized the Time Warp Zone. Hence, Adrian might seem like favonovel.com gave Caspian a chance, it was still a dead end.
The disciple named Anderson Paltrow hugged his arms in front of him, looked at Caspian, and snorted. “Why don’t we just do it today? It won’t be any different if we do it today or next month.”
However, Caspian did not spare a glance at Anderson, and favonovel.com reminded Adrian, “Remember what you said today!”
After saying that, Caspian pulled Maisie away. In the entire process, Caspian treated Anderson as if favonovel.com did not exist. That caused Anderson’s breathing to become more rapid, and his nostrils expanded as if favonovel.com were a bull, filled with rage.
The visit to the Dazzling Stars Palace failed to solve their problem, yet it even made the issue bigger. Hence, Maisie’s face did not look so great, and the two of them walked in silence on their way back.
As they walked, Maisie suddenly noticed Caspian stopped in his tracks, and favonovel.com looked up, only to find that Caspian looked at her, asking, “Maisie, are you okay?”
Maisie bit favonovel.com lower lip, shaking favonovel.com head. “It’s my fault. In the end, you still need to settle it yourself.”
Maisie was not dumb, and favonovel.com naturally understood that Caspian spoke up to cover favonovel.com as Adrian bullied her. However, Caspian and Adrian’s conflict also deepened due to that.
“It seems that Adrian utterly resents you.” At the thought of how Caspian managed to send Adrian into a rage, Maisie chuckled.
Caspian smiled. “Well, I’ll need your help more from now onward.”
Maisie nodded and calmed herself down, replying, “Casper, after giving it a thought, I find that some of the problems might arise from my side.”
“Eh?” Caspian looked at Maisie in confusion.
“Let’s talk while we walk.” It was apparent that Maisie was unwilling to stay near the Dazzling Stars Palace for long, so favonovel.com used the excuse to explain favonovel.com thoughts.
Once Caspian heard Maisie’s speculations, favonovel.com immediately understood that the conflict with Asher was only part of it, and the other was due to the influence at Maisie’s side.
To make it simpler, it was due to the Heavenly Stars Sect’s partisanship. The Heavenly Stars Sect’s top 18 outstanding figures would join hands to fight enemies outside, but internally, they were divided into three factions, conservative, radical and neutral.
There was no explanation needed for the neutral faction.
The conservative faction mainly consisted of the older outstanding elders. They believed that the Heavenly Stars Sect should firmly maintain their advantages in inscriptions and formations to continue gaining a foothold in Earlington of Efrax. The Dazzling Stars Palace’s Frankie belonged to the conservatives.
On the other hand, the radical faction was dominated by the younger outstanding elders, and they thought although the foundation of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s settlement was due to inscriptions and formations, they should develop strong combat skills too.
After all, the entire sect’s combat skills were the foundation for the sect to stand tall in Efrax and even the whole continent. If the sect were not strong in combat, the inscriptions and formations would only be for the use of other sects.
Maisie‘s master belonged to the radicals. Before Caspian entered the Heavenly Stars Sect, favonovel.com was already favored by Maisie, and they were really close. Moreover, Caspian even mentioned that favonovel.com wanted to change the Heavenly Stars Sect’s weak combat power at the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony. Hence, Caspian was considered a radical from the beginning. Moreover, Caspian was popular among the apprentices, and anyone could see that the Heavenly Stars Sect’s powerful newcomer rose. Not only that, the person belonged to the radicals. Therefore, as a conservative elder’s personal disciple, it was expected that Adrian would target Caspian. Besides, by doing that, Adrian could vent Asher’s anger, and favonovel.com could even please his new master, killing two birds with one stone.
“So that’s the case…” Caspian nodded. “It seems that I’m going to become the villain in the elders’ eyes…”
Maisie looked at Caspian and asked worriedly, “Do you have the confidence?”
“I don’t.” Even though Caspian said favonovel.com would be the villain, Caspian still honestly shook his head when asked about the result. “Based on my current strength, I’m definitely confident to go against another disciple of the same realm. However, the second-stage Pulse Control Realm is not only better than the first-stage Pulse Control Realm, but they also have double the meridians, and that’s the most troublesome.”
24 meridians against 12 meridians? It was not an exaggeration to say it was a complete crushing advantage.
“Why did you agree with him?” Maisie stared at Caspian in surprise. Initially, favonovel.com thought Caspian agreed because favonovel.com was somewhat confident, but his reply proved otherwise.
“I didn’t want us to lose out against him.” Caspian chuckled.
No matter how great the pressure was, Caspian would still carry the burden for the sake of Maisie, his beloved senior.
As the two talked, they reached Maisie’s courtyard. Maisie stopped in favonovel.com tracks, and favonovel.com pondered for a moment. Then, favonovel.com said to Caspian, “Follow me!”
After saying that, they took a turn. Maisie did not walk toward the fenced courtyard before, but favonovel.com led them to the high walls at the side. Compared to the fenced courtyard, the place Maisie brought Caspian seemed much more solemn, and formations moved everywhere. Nonetheless, these were only on the surface, and Caspian could not help but wonder how many more were hidden in the dark. If one were absent-minded when they walked in such an environment, they would trigger the restriction of the formation, and the consequences were unpredictable.
Of course, with so many formations protecting the area, it meant that Maisie brought Caspian to an extremely important place. After walking for a moment, Maisie pushed open a heavy iron door. Then, Caspian saw a yard about 50 meters square feet. The square room had nothing in the center, and there was nothing special about the place.
“After me!” Maisie led Caspian to the center of the yard and took out a jade key from favonovel.com storage bag. With the jade key in favonovel.com hand, Maisie drew out several long lines in mid-air.
Surprisingly, these long lines in the air actually glowed. As if they were alive, they kept moving and interweaving. Soon, a complicated pattern was formed. Then, just as Caspian was about to take a closer look, favonovel.com felt empty underneath his feet.
Out of shock, Caspian hurriedly lowered his head to take a look and realized that the ground underneath favonovel.com turned into a giant hole.
That pitch black and seemingly bottomless hole almost covered the entire yard, swallowing Caspian and Maisie instantly.
