It was relatively easy for Caspian to pretend to be Casey, but the only difficulty was the different realms between them. Caspian was in entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm, whereas Casey was a peak second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator. Hence, the Fauna Imperial Sect disciples familiar with Casey would surely be suspicious if they paid extra attention. Although Caspian also prepared countermeasures, favonovel.com did not expect it to be so smooth. After Emmett and others saw favonovel.com severely injured, they did not even take a second look at him. Their attitude helped Caspian successfully pass the most difficult stage, and also gave Caspian a deeper understanding of the Fauna Imperial Sect’s philosophy of cultivating disciples.
‘This method is similar to raising soldiers, and it can cultivate strong cultivators. However, it truly lacks a human touch,’ Caspian sighed in his heart, ‘Perhaps it’s because of spending too much time with monsters. I have a feeling that these Fauna Imperial Sect disciples will be sadder when their assistive beasts die than when their sect-mates die.’
After pondering for a moment, Caspian stopped thinking about the problem. In his opinion, the most challenging stage passed. If Emmett and the others finally realized and questioned favonovel.com about it, it would be easier for Caspian to handle the matter too.
At that time, only three people were yet to arrive. When the sun set, and the sky was as red as blood, another Fauna Imperial Sect disciple appeared. As a result, the number of Fauna Imperial Sect’s disciples finally reached five, and Emmett’s face did not look as bad as before.
Later, when night fell, Sebastian came to the foot of the mountain and joined the crowd. When favonovel.com appeared, the Heavenly Stars Sect let out a burst of tremendous cheers. However, the disciples of the Dark Moon Sect and Fauna Imperial Sect did not seem that happy as there were now six Heavenly Stars Sect gathering at the foot of the mountain, including Jaime, Sebastian, Xander, Omar, Maya, and Solana. Moreover, with Caspian, the number of disciples on the Heavenly Stars Sect would reach seven!
With only nine participating disciples from each sect, the Heavenly Stars Sect only lost two people so far. On the other hand, the Fauna Imperial Sect could only be said to be in a quite satisfactory situation. The five disciples, except Emmett, Liam, Andrew, and Casey, the last disciple who arrived was Gregory Wood.
The number was quite a lot, but for the Fauna Imperial Sect disciples who were arrogant and believed that only the Blue Feather Sect could compete with them among the six major sects, they obviously could not accept it.
Caspian hid behind the crowd, pretending to be attending to his wounds. However, favonovel.com snickered with his head lowered. In truth, the Fauna Imperial Sect did not have five people at all, but only four. Moreover, his existence would make the five Fauna Imperial Sect‘s combat effectiveness even lower than four disciples.
As for the Dark Moon Sect, it became the weakest of the three sects at that time as only three of their disciples arrived at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, Jessica was already in the peak second-stage Pulse Control Realm. Otherwise, their number was small, and their strength was weak, almost equivalent to giving up the competition for the state religion ahead of schedule.
Caspian did not appear even when the Pantheon was about to open on the next day. In truth, Caspian would not show up. He stood in the Fauna Imperial Sect group as Casey. As Caspian did not turn up, the Heavenly Stars Sect disciples naturally did not look relaxed. They raised their heads and glanced around from time to time, hoping to find Caspian.
Jessica also showed an anxious look. Seeing Jessica’s performance, Caspian was secretly impressed with favonovel.com realistic acting. If favonovel.com did not know the truth, favonovel.com might have been deceived. As for the Heavenly Stars Sect people, Caspian also wanted to secretly tell them his true identity, lest they worry about him. However, Caspian decided to let go of the thought after giving careful consideration. After all, if they were slightly careless, they might expose Caspian’s identity because of some subconscious expressions or actions. If that happened, Caspian’s effort in pretending to be Casey would all be wasted.
When Caspian looked at the Heavenly Stars Sect again, favonovel.com found that Maya’s expression seemed different from the others. While the others looked anxiously into the distance from time to time, Maya appeared thoughtful, glancing at the faces of the Dark Moon Sect and Fauna Imperial Sect from time to time, as if favonovel.com tried to find some clues. Maya was there when Caspian got the Thousand Cursed Mask, so Caspian could not help but wonder if the other party guessed something. Nonetheless, Caspian believed that as long as favonovel.com did not show it, Maya would not take the initiative to leak the fact that favonovel.com had the Thousand Cursed Mask even if favonovel.com had a hint.
When it was close to noon, the mountain occupied by Pantheon suddenly burst into colorful light The dazzling and splendid light spread out in the sky instantly, like a peacock showing its feathers, attracting the attention of everyone present. However, the colorful and dazzling light smelled like rust and iron as they paid attention as if it was a certain battlefield falling from the sky.
“Murder Array!”
“And it’s a really powerful one!”
Xander and the others frowned. Although the disciples of Dark Moon Sect and Fauna Imperial Sect could not recognize it as a Murder Array, they could also feel an unparalleled danger. The dangerous aura even made them feel needles on their backs, and all their hairs stood on end.
The colorful rays of light swarmed in the sky for a while, and it suddenly shrank back toward the top of the mountain like a receding wave. In a flash, the magnificent Pantheon finally appeared in front of everyone.
Rather than saying that Pantheon was built on a mountain, it was better to say that the entire mountain was Pantheon. As the Murder Array receded, a straight mountain road appeared from the foot of the hill to the gate of Pantheon.
“Eight Desolate God-Terminator Halberd is right in the Pantheon!”
“If we get the Eight Desolate God-Terminator Halberd, we‘ll win this nation’s official religion election!”
“Our sect-mates sacrificed themselves for this! We must get the Eight Desolate God-Terminator Halberd, and we can’t let their previous efforts go to waste!”
At the sight of the mountain rod, almost everyone had the same thoughts in their hearts.
After ten days, the Murder Array would restart. In other words, they had ten days to explore in the Pantheon and compete for the Eight Desolate God-Terminator Halberd. These days, someone would inevitably die. The outcome would be announced ten days later, and everything would be settled.
At that time, Emmett of the Fauna Imperial Sect suddenly sneered. “We haven’t entered Pantheon yet, so I don’t think it’s necessary to start a fight on the way up the mountain. I have some suggestions, but I don’t know if everyone is willing to listen.”
