While Cedric encountered the masked man, on the other side, somewhere else in the Mist Valley..."Scarlet Blade Academy is here as well?"A playful smile curved across Riven's lips. He hadn't expected the Scarlet Blade Academy to join in on the fun."Hm, the overall strength of Scarlet Blade Academy is about on par with our Bright Moon Academy. I heard that, back when they fought over the Dragon Mountain Range, a massive battle broke out between the two sides. In the end, although our Master emerged victorious, the enmity between them was never resolved."Daniel spoke of this piece of history with practiced ease.Though he called it "history," it had only happened seven years ago."The Scarlet Blade Academy has been established far longer than we have," Victor added with a chuckle, "but we've already caught up to them. Naturally, they wouldn't be in a good mood about that.""Three months from now, don't we have an exchange match with the students of Scarlet Blade Academy?" Riven sudde

On the other side, Riven calmly walked back after securing the Seven Suns Red, his expression relaxed as if everything that had just happened was insignificant. He extended his hand and passed the spirit medicine to Daniel, saying with a faint smile, "Since you are the leader, it’s only fair that the herb we collect for now remain in your custody."Daniel did not refuse. He accepted the Seven Suns Red with a nod, his movements steady and composed, before turning to look at the others."Alright, I’ll hold onto all the herbs we collect for now. Once this round of herb gathering is over, we’ll divide everything according to each person’s contribution. Does anyone have any objections?"Daniel's gaze swept toward Victor and William."Of course I don’t mind," Victor replied immediately, expressing his stance without hesitation, as there was no reason for him to object under Daniel’s leadership.William, who had just gone through a round of slaughter, gradually calmed down as the bloodlust i

"Do you think it's impressive to charge in recklessly and shout like that? I really don't understand. After losing to me, where do you get the face to act so arrogantly in front of me? Who gave you that confidence?"Riven's eyes turned cold as he spoke, his tone sharp and unyielding, clearly having lost his patience. In his view, William couldn't even judge the most basic situation, yet still insisted on showing off—was he simply incapable of thinking?"You—!" William's body trembled with anger, his face flushing as a deep sense of humiliation flashed across his eyes. He wanted to retort, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a single excuse to justify his earlier defeat to Riven."William, is there something wrong with your brain?" Riven continued mercilessly, his gaze filled with disdain. "The Scarlet Blade Academy clearly holds the advantage right now, so who exactly are you trying to impress? If I had to act alongside someone like you, I'd be more worried about being

Actually, a while ago, Cedric had discovered the masked figure inside the cave. He was stunned at first, but he quickly regained his composure and hurriedly examined the information he could perceive.[Name: Alex White][Cultivation: Advanced Evergreen Soul Stage of the Earthly Soul Realm][Bloodline: Sky Emperor Bloodline (Unawakened)][Talent: Heaven Grade]Cedric was deeply shocked. This masked man not only possessed the cultivation of the Advanced Evergreen Soul Stage, but also carried an unawakened Sky Emperor Bloodline.He had no idea what kind of bloodline the Sky Emperor Bloodline was, yet the mere fact that Alex's talent was rated at Heaven Grade was enough to stir his ambitions. At that moment, Cedric even had the urge to take him in as a disciple immediately.However, Cedric was not naïve.Individuals of such caliber would never accept a master so casually—especially not someone who was only a Transcendent Soul Realm warrior, merely one major realm above them.Although the

"Do you know, the entire Mist Valley disappeared mysteriously overnight.""Heh, you know nothing. It's not that the Mist Valley mysteriously disappeared; the valley was actually destroyed.""What do you mean? Are you saying that someone actually destroyed the entire Mist Valley? How powerful must that person be?""No. That's not true. Actually, you should know that many forces had sent their people inside the Mist Valley to look for the secret tomb, right?""Among those forces, the most powerful were Bright Moon Academy and Scarlet Blade Academy. Because no one knew the Secret Tomb's location, they started by searching for herbs in the valley.""However, I don't know what happened, but many people saw Bright Moon Academy's master's second student, Daniel Heyes, bringing many of his fellow students out of the valley in a hurry.""Not long after he left, a dragon and phoenix appeared in the sky and started fighting. The destruction of the entire Mist Valley was merely the aftereffect of
