The Saint Master clearly hadn't expected someone else to come.She said sternly, "Sir Hudson, it is not I who wants him on the Life and Death Platform but the rules of Monington that have been upheld for thousands of years. Please leave now."Sir Hudson stood outside the door, he did not enter, and said gravely, "For the future of the Monington Sacred Land, his actions do not warrant death. Our sacred land–"Before he could finish, the Saint Master interrupted, "Sir Hudson, attend to your duties at the Treasure Pavilion, and bear in mind, entry to the Treasure Pavilion is forbidden to anyone not of Master rank!"Wilda's expression was already filled with dejection and only sank deeper into despair upon hearing that.It seemed the Saint Master's decision was final, and she was adamant to not provide Remus with even the slightest chance of survival, regardless of who pleaded.Sir Hudson responded, "I have allowed him entry, and he has examined the Heaven-grade cultivation technique

The ground shook violently, and dust filled the air.When the dust settled, Remus could see that there was a crack about one yard wide, ten yards deep, and nearly 1000 yards long on the ground.That crack resembled a winding dragon.In comparison, Remus' slash was like that of a reptile.The gap was just too vast."Huh?" Seeing the crack, Remus' body trembled violently, his eyes gradually widening with layers of light rippling in them.The Monington disciples showed satisfied expressions on their faces. They thought Remus must have been scared silly.The Monington disciple who launched the slash said disdainfully, "Now you know the capabilities of someone in the Divine Unity Stage. You should know, that was just a casual strike from me, and my strongest ability is not the spirit weapon, but my techniques."Do you think, if I were to use my full power, you could withstand a single move? Hahaha." The other disciples laughed, very pleased with Remus' reaction.Hearing that, Rem

Elena proposed, "You may ask a favor of me, whether it be learning a technique or something else, and I will consent. It's my way of making amends for our past conflicts."She believed apologies should not only be verbal but also demonstrate genuine remorse.At that offer, a spark of inspiration flashed in Remus' eyes, as he quickly turned to face Elena with a newfound idea."What's on your mind?" Noticing the expression in his eyes, Elena felt a stir of unease.Her tone chilled, and she sternly cautioned, "I'd suggest you keep your thoughts in order. Otherwise, you may not even survive the next three days!" Realizing her misunderstanding, Remus replied with a mix of irritation and amusement, "I have no interest in older women. I prefer younger ones. But since you're offering an apology, there is indeed something for which I need your assistance."Elena's complexion shifted in an instant, fighting the urge to slap him.An old woman?How dare he!Biting back her frustration, s

Elena was left speechless at Emerson's elaboration."What does this have to do with me?" Elena wondered inwardly. Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly emanated from the woods."Exactly, Master Caldwell wants you to remain grounded and not forget your roots. Well said, haha."Everyone quickly looked around, searching through the trees, just to find that the speaker was none other than Remus. Not only that, but he was seated on the ground, with a modest wooden table set before him.Resting atop the table were portions of roasted wild chicken and various types of wild fruits. Adjacent to the fruits was a clay pot emitting the fragrance of wine.Observing the scene, a chill ran down everyone's spine."How... how did he get here?""Is he really just sitting there and enjoying himself?""No, that's supposed to be our wild chicken! Put the chicken down, or don't blame me for being rude!"Being a man marked for death, Remus wasn't met with much courtesy by the others.Remus resp

As expected, the results of everyone's test were the same.Rubbish!The words displayed were all "Rubbish!""Indeed, they're all 'Rubbish.' I've only managed to collect one cup after all that," Remus remarked calmly, discreetly swapping the empty Spirit Vessel on the table with the freshly filled one from the pit, then downing its contents in one swift gulp. The replenished spirit energy invigorated him, leaving him feeling revitalized.With a light smile, he added, "But everyone who comes here is 'Rubbish,' because those are the only words I inscribed onto the Spiritual Trial Stone."Meanwhile, people continued to argue vehemently, refusing to accept the humiliation of being labeled as rubbish.Elena was getting a headache from all the complaints and was also feeling a surge of anger within her, not toward them, but toward Remus who was hiding in the depths of the forest.What exactly was he up to?Did he not realize how much such a thing would affect their minds?However,
