There was only one more day until Earl's wedding. Over the past few days, the entire Everest Sect had been swamped with tasks. Every building exterior was decorated with bright lights, and congratulatory banners were hung up everywhere surrounding the main building.Everyone knew it was the wedding of Marco's student, Earl, and the day his name would be registered into the Book of Everest. After that, he was set to become at least an elder in Everest Sect.His position as the best student already had him strutting all over the sect like he owned the place. It might get worse once he was included in the Book of Everest.It wasn't only Heath who was unhappy about it; several of the students of other elders also resented him. After all, they were on the same level as Earl, but he would be added to the Book of Everest just because his mother was crushed to death by a rock. So obviously, the other prized students of Everest Sect were discontent.Isaac had been curled up in the corner fo

"The House of Custos wants to see the sect head? Well, they need to take a look in the mirror. Tell them to get lost!" came Nigel's cold shout from inside the room."Ethan Grannel is also here. I'm sure you know who he is, Mr. Ender." Heath's mouth curved into a cold smile.Soon, footsteps sounded from within the room, and the door opened with a click. Still in his pajamas, Nigel squinted his eyes and asked, "Who did you say? Ethan Grannel?""Yes." Heath nodded.Nigel fell silent. Then, he said coolly, "For so many years, Everest Sect has stayed isolated from the world. We pretty much don't have any interactions with the ordinary world. I cannot believe that someone as insignificant as Isaac could set the second most important person of the ordinary world into action."With that, he turned around and began pacing his room, deep in thought.In terms of power, the House of Custos was not worth Everest Sect's effort. But now, Ethan—the old geezer sitting at the peak of power in the

The weather was great. Everest Sect was intricately decorated and emitted a joyous vibe.Tens of thousands of martial artists stayed in the sect, with the underclass making up the majority. Most were at the advanced stage of the Amalgamation Phase and the early stage of the Renascence Phase. But even though they were the weakest in Everest Sect, they could easily exert dominance wherever they were in the ordinary world.Asher headed toward his wife's grave with Nigel as his escort.The wedding ceremony would begin after the execution of Isaac and his men. The grave was on a small hill with splendid scenery.Hundreds of people were already at the gravesite. These were the management personnel of Everest Sect, including the heads and assistant heads from each organization and the elders. They took their places according to their ranks.It was Marco's idea—he wanted to publicly decapitate Isaac and his men, who belittled the dignity of Everest Sect.Marco's idea coincided with Earl'

The crowd gasped. What an arrogant old man!Caesar narrowed his eyes, smiling faintly."The audacity! Ethan Grannel, how dare you speak to Mr. Olsen in that tone!" Nigel sprung up from his seat and roared, blasting an invisible surge of energy at Ethan.Arian immediately stood before Ethan and took that hit.He stumbled backward and shuddered. His face paled, and his guts were in a state of turbulence.He was strong!It was only a casual blast, yet he felt that was the most he could take. Arian was horrified and peeved at the same time.These assholes were so disrespectful toward Ethan. Being arrogant was one thing, but starting an attack was different."Nigel, don't act on your whim. Mr. Grannel is our guest, after all," Caesar stopped Nigel, beaming, and Nigel returned to his seat with a frosty expression."Tell me, Ethan, how does killing Isaac relate to me going against the country? Could you, perhaps, speak on behalf of the Nine States of Cynea?" Caesar asked lighthearted

"You brat. Are you threatening me?" Caesar pointed at himself. His voice gave those who heard him chills.Heath was horrified. Had Isaac lost his mind?Wanting to leave here alive with his friends was understandable, but who gave him the nerve to ask the sect head to swear to let this slide once and for all? How could he say this if he hadn't lost his mind?Earl's face distorted in agony. Blood trickled from his mouth. However, he snapped, "You son of a bitch! Kill me now if you dare! Do it! If I'm not dead by the end of the day, I'll kill your whole family!"Isaac ignored him. Instead, he looked at Arian. "Supreme Commander, take them and leave."Not even Arian was spared from the shock of the scene before him. He came to his senses and waved. Two Shadows immediately came forward, untied Harry and Denvor, and helped them stand."Let Evie go." Isaac looked at Marco.Marco looked at his favorite student, glanced at Asher's furious expression, and then looked toward Caesar. He no
