Ronald, who was the eldest of the nine, gasped and exclaimed when favonovel.com saw the person coming.
“It’s Elder Terry!”
Everyone else immediately shuddered when they heard that, and they all looked at the man walking down the neon stairs. The person appeared to be in his forties, and even though favonovel.com was not tall, his every movement was daunted as if one could hear the faint sound of a thunderstorm.
At that moment, Caspian forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. While looking at the other party, favonovel.com thought, ‘Is this Elder Terry the Terry John who supported Heavenly Stars Sect’s Department of War with Elder Leonard?’
At the thought of that, there was a sense of admiration in Caspian’s heart.
The Heavenly Stars Sect was divided into eight parts, four of which were internal, and the others were external. Leonard and Terry were in charge of one of the four primary and outer divisions, the War Department.
The War Department was also known as the Hall of War in other sects. As the name suggested, the division was in charge of the wars. Nonetheless, the War Department led any tasks that required fighting and killing, such as getting rid of monsters and demons.
Leonard was the swordsman of Heavenly Stars Sect. Therefore, under normal circumstances, favonovel.com would not attend to the matter personally. Instead, his existence was to intimidate the outside world and for the strength of the spirit of the internal sect. Hence, the War Department would mostly be handled by Terry.
Terry‘s temper was also much fiercer than Leonard’s. Every time there was a battle, favonovel.com was often the leader and the first to kill if favonovel.com was needed to participate. Someone once said that among the eighteen outstanding figures in the Heavenly Stars Sect, the one who harvested the most lives was not Hayley, the first in combat power, nor Leonard, the swordsman, but Terry, the deputy head of the War Department. Moreover, someone even asserted that the number of people Hadley and Leonard killed did not equal a fraction of Terry’s total. Although the description was suspected of exaggeration, it could also be seen that Terry was a decisive killer.
Nevertheless, it was precisely because the War Department had such a compelling character that Heavenly Stars Sect could rank among the six major sects of Earlington of Efrax. Even if their sect was known for not being good at fighting, there were still no sects and monsters who dared to come and cause trouble as they wished. In Earlington of Efrax, Terry was also nicknamed the Reaper’s Scythe. Not only that, favonovel.com could even stop the infant’s night terrors in the mortal world.
For such a heroic figure with an excellent reputation and countless contributions to the Heavenly Stars Sect, the eyes of the nine disciples present immediately lit up with admiration when they realized it was Terry.
Terry also appeared in front of the crowd. He did not say anything but just stood there, and his imposing aura terrified everyone. His gaze swept across everyone’s faces one by one. During that time, Caspian did not know if favonovel.com was delusional or not, but favonovel.com felt that there was a slight pause when Terry looked at him. However, before Caspian could notice it carefully, Terry looked at the next person. Caspian did not overthink as Terry was an influential figure of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and favonovel.com would not be able to figure out Terry’s thoughts easily.
“I saw everyone’s performance in Elenion,” Terry said and shocked everyone.
‘Sure enough…’ Caspian’s heart skipped a beat.
Thankfully, favonovel.com planned from the beginning to find Asher quickly and accurately. Otherwise, all his secret skills would be exposed in front of these elders just to compete for a jade token. After all, the elders of the Heavenly Stars Sect were not people that ordinary disciples could fool at will.
Just when Caspian was feeling relieved, Terry continued, “I can tell that some of you did not show your true strength in this competition due to your opponent.”
Caspian felt somewhat guilty when favonovel.com heard that, and favonovel.com vaguely felt that Terry glanced at him.
“There are also some people who didn’t compete head-on with others but used some means to delay the game until the end,” Terry added.
Edda’s cheeks heated up, and it was her.
“There are some people who got the qualification but through flukes, and they weren’t able to gain an overwhelming advantage. There are some people who are proud of their qualifications this time and feel that no one in the same level as them are their opponents anymore.”
Terry stopped after saying all that, looking at the crowd. The four examples favonovel.com cited almost all the performances of the nine disciples present. Although Terry did not mention it directly, the disciples could tell favonovel.com was dissatisfied with their performance.
After some time, Terry commented, “I don’t want to see this kind of performance in the nation’s official religion election. Remember, the nation’s official religion election won’ t give you any retreat, even with the slightest idle, you might even fail, or even… Die!”
“Die?”
“Die!”
None of the nine people present ever participated in the nation’s official religion election, and they all looked up in surprise.
“What’s wrong? Are you all scared?” Terry snorted, “Death is inevitable in the nation’s official religion election. Nine of you are selected today, but not all of you might return from the nation‘s official religion election. Perhaps more than half of you will survive, or maybe only two will come back. The worst-case scenario is none of you return!”
Caspian and the others never thought that the competition of the nation‘s official religion election between the six major sects would be so deadly.
Judging from the expressions of everyone, it seemed that his words provoked the disciples. Then, Terry nodded and continued, “But there are still two months before the nation’s official religion election, which means that you have two months to make up for your shortcomings. Whether it’s for winning some glory for the Heavenly Stars Sect or to save your life at that time, go and work hard!”
“Since you have stood out from more than 4,000 people by your abilities, the sect will naturally reward you. The specific reward will be sent to you before tonight. I hope to see a change in you after two months.”
After instructing everyone, Terry left. At that time, the faces of several people in the square no longer had the joy of winning the qualifications before. Instead, many people had worried expressions on their faces. Obviously, they all knew that the opponents they faced in the nation’s official religion election were stronger than those in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s competition.
At that time, their opponents would be the best outer disciples of the other five major sects. Moreover, the Heavenly Stars Sect was the least good at combat among the six major sects of Earlington of Efrax. In other words, their strength was the lowest among the six sects.
After a long time, Jaime, the peak second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple, let out a wry smile. “It’s really beyond my expectations.”
