“It’s Elder Severin!” Luke eximed in excitement.


    “It is him! We’re saved!” She’s face lit up with joy. “We’ll live to fight another day, it seems!”


    Severin’s decisive attack had killed the opposing group’s disciples within seconds.


    “I’m d I found all three of you together! I can finally rest at ease now.” Severin sighed with relief. He


    was happy to see his three wives along with Luke and Mick


    Severin considered Luke and Mick his friends even though they had since be disciples of the


    Skyblue Sect and were no longer just members of Dracodeus Temple. He had brought them along with


    him to the sect when he first came, so he hoped to see them thrive in the sect too.


    “I didn’t expect you to be here too.” She approached Elsa enthusiastically.


    Elsa grinned and replied, “Luck was on my side. I ran into Master shortly after entering the secret


    realm, so we searched for the tower during the day and practiced alchemy at night. I’ve made lots of


    progress


    over the past few weeks.”


    “Are you now a second–grade low rank alchemist? She asked curiously.


    “Wrong.” Elsa replied. She then stated proudly, I’m now a second grade medium–rank alchemist. Not


    too


    bad, huh?”


    “That’s some impressive progress!” She eximed excitedly.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Severin then turned to Diane and asked, ‘Have you and the others been in any danger recently?”


    Diane beamed and said, “The confrontation we just had was the most dangerous. I ran into Sulia as


    soon as I entered the realm, and we were able to find She quickly too. As time passed, we were able


    to gather more and more people with us. We collected plenty of spiritual herbs, faced various spirit


    beasts, and improved our skills. It just never urred to us that we would run into a group of Horizon


    Sect disciples earlier. We were no match for them even though we outnumbered them.”


    Mick nodded. “Yeah. We survived only because you arrived in time, Elder Severin. We would’ve been


    goners if you didn’t show up.”


    As the group began to collect the spoils, Luke observed the corpses. “What a huge loss to their sect.”


    Severin smiled coldly and said, “What happens here stays here, but it’s not like we would have to face


    repercussions if word gets out. We shall not spare the lives of any Horizon Sect disciple that we


    encounter during our time here.”


    She, still reeling from the recent ordeal, voiced her indignation, “Yeah! If they’re going to show


    animosity toward us, then they shouldn’t be surprised if we treat them the same way. The Horizon Sect


    needs to learn a lesson from this.”


    Diane could not help but chuckle when she heard that. “Even if they suspect that our sect’s disciples


    were involved, they can’t prove anything if we just deny it.”


    “It’s gettingte,” Severin observed. “The sun is about to set, so it’s about time we find a ce to rest.


    Some of you are injured and need to recover.”
