It was better to openly participate in the ongoing assessment than to sneak in through other methods. Besides, acting covertly could easily provoke a counterattack from the Monington Sacred Land. By then, it would be unknown whether he could find his fiancée, let alone come out alive.The group was momentarily taken aback at Remus' reply.They questioned reflexively, "Aren't you a cultivator from the Longmoon Mountains? Or are you a cultivator of the so-called True Life? Did you come to Longmoon Mountains because you failed the sacred land's sanctuary assessment?"Their barrage of questions left Remus even more confused. Why did they seem unfamiliar with True Life, despite being cultivators themselves?Moreover, they appeared to not recognize him.He did not put on a disguise as he had not expected to encounter people so soon. Maintaining his appearance as Remus Cosby, even if not as Remus Larson, would still make him recognizable to those from True Life who harbored animosity t

The three men slowed to a stop upon seeing the situation.The leader among them appeared to be a middle-aged man.He scoffed, "Bartholomew, what a small world. I thought we'd meet at the assessment site, but here we are, running into each other just as we enter the mountains, haha…"Upon recognizing the trio, Bartholomew and his group simultaneously frowned, their expressions turning solemn. Bartholomew replied with a hint of anger, "I didn't expect you to be tailing us like a persistent curse. I'm not in a good mood today, so beat it!"Pierce also said angrily, "Hadden Windrow, we haven't settled the score from your last sneak attack. Are you here today to settle both new and old debts? Leave now, and you're off the hook! Or you won't have the chance to escape later."Gerard and Alfie both stepped forward, ready for battle. Remus, riding atop Bucky, watched coldly."Hahaha!" Hadden laughed arrogantly. "Why, aren't you scary? You're scaring me to death, haha! I admit, I can

It was utterly unimaginable.Others might not know how formidable Hadden was, but Bartholomew and his group had suffered many losses under him. He wasn't someone so weak that he couldn't defend himself against a Golden Stage cultivator, even if it was unexpected.On the contrary, Remus was even stronger than they had imagined."You..." Hadden's face immediately turned pale, having thought a casual defense would dissipate Remus' spirit energy, only to find it unnaturally potent.Looking into the close-set eyes before him, he suddenly felt like he was looking at death itself.Fortunately, the two men at his side quickly recovered their wits. They released their spirit energy without further words, materializing maces in their hands and simultaneously smashing it toward Remus.Those weren't ordinary maces, the spikes on the head gleamed coldly, all formed from condensed spirit energy. The spirit energy would enter the body through the wound if hit, causing excruciating pain."Be ca

Pierce and Gerard also stared coldly. They all thought Remus was too arrogant, daring to say that his assessment of them had failed.Who did he think he was?Bartholomew also turned his head toward Remus.However, Remus didn't stop.The reason he had stopped earlier was that they hadn't completely fallen out yet, but now, there was no need to care about who they were. If not for the long journey ahead and the need to find Glinda and Wilda for the sanctuary assessment, why not engage in a fight if they dared to attack?Even if it meant using up all his spirit energy, he was prepared to annihilate them."I told you to stop!" Alfie spoke again, her weapon already materializing in her hand.Pierce and Gerard were ready to follow suit, prepared to strike at any moment.Remus continued on his way. "You...!" Alfie was about to make a move."Forget it!" Bartholomew suddenly spoke up, retracting his gaze. "Let him go. The sanctuary assessment is more important. Let's move on!""Bart

Elena said, "The mountaintop is where the main hall of the Sacred Land is located. I will take you to your residence first. Once the assessment is completely over and all disciples have entered, we will proceed with the next arrangements."Over the past two days, Glinda had not only familiarized herself with the environment within Longmoon Mountains but also learned about the other assessment, so she didn't have much objection. She replied, "Thank you for your efforts, esteemed Master Caldwell." They then crossed the plain to reach the base of the mountain.Upon arrival, a large group of people came to greet them. "Master Caldwell!" After respectfully greeting her, they began to openly size up Glinda."She seems to be at the early stage of the Golden Stage!""Master Caldwell, are you sure she is worthy of entering the sacred land? The quality seems to decline with each generation.""It's quite normal. The so-called people of True Life are all slackers. Even with limited reso
