Chapter 861 Challenging Peter

Is it that difficult?

A genius could easily make all problems people deemed difficult simple.

Emrys was a prodigy in that sense.

Meanwhile, both Devon and Caden were present at the Origin Sword Sect.

Clearly, the relationship between the two clans was more harmonious than their relationship with the

Soul Sword Sect. To be precise, it was the Origin Sword Sect and the Soul Sword Sect that shared a

greater mutual benefit.

Initially, in defiance of the wishes of the Heavenly Sword King, the distribution of the sword statuttes

was halted. This was the result of a joint decision made by the two sects.

At that moment, both of them wore extremely unpleasant expressions.

Just a moment ago, they had simultaneously experienced an illusion, mistakenly identifying Emrys as

the Heavenly Sword King. It was likely due to a sense of guilt in their hearts that they were so easily

startled.

Looking back now, they suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.

The two leaders of the Sword Sect, unbelievably, knelt before a mere novice in the Energy Cultivation

Stage, a disgrace that would be impossible to erase in their lifetime.

Yes.

Even though Emrys had received the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword King, in the of Devon and

Caden, he was still worthless. This was because his cultivation level was merely at the Energy

Cultivation Stage.

It was hard to tell if it was due to the passage of time that the Heavenly Sword King seemed to have

lost his discernment in his old age. Out of all the exceptional disciples from the three major Sword

Sects, he had inexplicably chosen such a worthless individual. It was truly beyond comprehension.

What was even more ludicrous was that Ruben was actually entertaining the absurd idea of having that

good–for–nothing assume the role of the leader of the three clans.

“To tell

you

the truth, I was really upset!”

“I felt the same way!”

The leader of the Soul Sword Sect, Caden, reflected on the previous scene of his kneeling. A

boundless sense of humiliation surged within him, causing his eyes to grow cold and murderous intent

to well up.

Emrys didn’t deserve his respect.

He had to wipe Emrys off the surface of the earth since he had already done so. Otherwise, it would

become a lifelong joke at Caden’s expense.

Only by killing Emrys could they quench their thirst for revenge.

Caden was overcome with murderous intent.

Devon felt the same way.

But they knew, attempting anything now would likely be very difficult.

After a long wait, Ruben finally found his successor, Emrys. He was determined to protect him at all

costs. The chances of anyone managing to kill Emrys during this period were slim.

With a face full of resentment, Devon exclaimed, “I can’t stand this feeling for a second longer. I wish I

can immediately tear that damned beast to shreds!”

“Me too!”

Caden gritted his teeth in frustration, his gaze suddenly turning icy. He asked, “Has that mad disciple of

yours réturned from his journey abroad?”

“Are you referring to Killian? It seems like he just returned to the sect.”

Killian stood out among three generations worth of disciples of the Origin Sword Sect. He lived up to

his name with his wildly audacious character. This perfectly embodied the sect’s philosophy of manic

swordsmanship, and thus, none of his peers could surpass him.

Caden felt a surge of frustration, saying, “Given the current situation, our chances of getting rid of

Tigger are slim. But this pent–up anger is unbearable, we must find a way to vent.”

“So, you’re suggesting that Killian should step in and teach him a lesson?“,

It seemed as though Devon had grasped what he meant. But Caden shook his head and

said, “That good–for–nothing in the Energy Cultivation Stage, will surely not accept the challenge.

Therefore, the one Killian needs to teach a lesson to is not him, but Peter.”

“Peter?”

Devon was initially taken aback, then, slapping his forehead, he exclaimed, “That’s brilliant! Ruben is

so focused on protecting Tigger right now, he probably wouldn’t even dream that we’d target his son.”

Killian was the shining star of the Origin Sword Sect, while Peter was the prodigy of the Soul Sword

Sect. Prodigies would usually become hostile the moment they meet.

They had crossed paths before.

The outcome was that Killian had a slight edge.

Because of Killian’s character, he was not only audacious, but also wildly unpredictable. He was the

type to attack relentlessly, throwing caution to the wind as if he had a death wish. This reckless

behavior had caused Peter to suffer at his hands on more than one

occasion.

This time, Peter had a stroke of luck. He stumbled upon a lucky chance on Sword King Mountain,

where his swordsmanship broke through to the master level. It was only natural that Killian would

challenge him once again.
