Inside the mayor’s mansion, a fair–skinned young man sat in silence as he sipped some spiritual tea.
The young man was Thorold, and he was surrounded by seven or eight of his family’s elders. Thorold
exuded a thunderous aura despite his youthful appearance, and the elders around those elders were
that of a level seven or level eight royal saint.
Having joined the first–tier Deifirm Sect in Southsky a few years ago, Thorold started as an outer
disciple. Heter put in a tremendous amount of effort and became a level nine royal saint, after which
he was allowed to be an inner disciple of the sect. Hisbat prowess was formidable, making
him a force to be reckoned with even by level one supreme saint.
His return to Nontwo City was aimed at helping the Gahrrs secure some benefits, and in turn, he could
bring some of the Gahrrs‘ elders to the sect and have them serve as his attendants. Thorold came back
and learned about the existence of a formidable individual named Severin who had just arrived in the
city.

Desiring a situation whereby he did not need to worry about Severin, he decided to offer up to
two avable
ces for the sacredke.
In Thorold’s eyes. Jangar was his primary adversary in the uing tournament. From the information
he had been given, Jangar was on the cusp of breaking through to supreme saint and possessed such
exceptional swordsmanship that he had many remarkable feats to his name. He had excellent
Jangar returned with the same intentions as Thorold, which was to select talented family members to
join their sects as elite disciples. This practice wasmonce across Southsky, where sect
disciples
could choose family members to follow them in their training once they had be a supreme saint.
Such actions were not unwee for two reasons: the first is that resources would be channeled to
those who truly deserve them within the sect, and the second is that such elite disciples would be
the backbone of the sect’s strength after being absorbed. As a result, many of the spots that were
avable for the sacredke would have been monopolized by families whose members were part of a
sect!
Thorold ced his teacup down and inquired about Jangar from the person beside him. “Heard any
news
about Jangar recently?”
*Jangar has remained at home since his return,” the person replied. “As a result, it is difficult to find
much
information on him.”
Thorold remained in silent contemtion. At that moment, Kiyu showed up after returning from the
Chorteaus.
Thorold asked calmly, “How did the negotiation with the Chorteaus go?”
He would much rather avoid any pesky individuals interfering in what he deemed was a straight fight.
between himself and Jangar. The two sects that they were from–the Deifirm Sect and the Purevoid
Sect-
were not on good terms with each other, and a no–holds–barred battle would always erupt should both
sides run into each other.
Kiyu shook his head in response to that question, “Severin rejected the offer, iming that two ces
were insufficient.”
Thorold frowned, evidently angered by Severin’s refusal. After finding out that Severin had killed the
Walpens‘ level nine royal saint. Thorold gritted his teeth and decided that two spots could be offered in
the hopes that he would just have to battle it out with Jangar for the remaining 13 spots. Had Severin
been any less strong than the rumors imed, he would have sent some of his people over to end
Severin’s life.
After hearing that Severin refused. Thorold turned to the first elder of the Gahrrs and said, ‘Since the
mayor has not been able to persuade him, perhaps you could take my spiritual treasure to him and get
him to meet me. If he knows what’s good for him, you may bring him to me. If he insists on going
against
me for those spots, I trust you’ll know what course of action you ought to take.”
Inside the Chorteaus‘ estate, Severin was just about to return to his residence when he saw a sh of
light streaking across the sky. An uninvited guest had shown up.
