Chapter 889: Cecil’s Encounter Again
“In fact, with Adele and Gary’s abilities, even if they encounter Leland, it would be a piece of cake to defeat him!
We won’t even mention Gary; Adele, you have mastered the complete Five Elements Path, including the Greater Unity Path.
The Greater Unity Path can integrate the Five Elements Path, unleashing immeasurable combat power.
I dare say that within the Mirror of Trials, no one can stop us.”
At this moment, another disciple of Penglai Fairy Island named Matt Harper chimed in, trying to flatter them, “Hmm!”
Gary nodded approvingly.
Matt turned to Cecil, who was standing behind them and asked, pointing at him, “Cecil, what do you think?”
Cecil was lost in thought and didn’t respond immediately.
Three people?
For some reason, a figure popped into Cecil’s mind. The person was incredibly powerful, and Cecil wasn’t sure if they were still in the Mirror of Trials.
If they were, along with Miss Graham and Violet, it would make three people.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Could it be…
It can’t be that coincidental!
“Cecil, I’m talking to you!”
Matt’s question went unanswered, and his face turned cold as he sternly asked Cecil, “What? You think Adele and Gary aren’t the strongest? Huh?”
Gary also snorted coldly, and the others looked at Cecil with unfriendly eyes.
As for Adele, she merely glanced at Cecil indifferently without saying anything.
“That’s not what I meant! Miss Harper and Gary are, of course, the strongest.”
Cecil shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, “Hmph! Consider yourself lucky!”
“You, go in that direction and scout ahead.”
“In case of a fight, knowing oneself and the enemy guarantees victory!”
Matt pointed in the direction Adele had indicated earlier, bossing Cecil around.
“Go!”
Gary waved his hand as if dismissing a subordinate.
“Fine.”
Cecil gritted his teeth and could only nod in agreement.
Once he walked away, the other eight people followed leisurely.
“Hmph! The Porter Family of the Northern Border is nothing more than lackeys assigned to us!”
“Hahaha… The Porter Family of the Northern Border, one of the four ancient powers along with Penglai Fairy Island, Tian Shan Sect, and Kunlun Divine Mountains, is nothing special.”
“They dare to compare themselves to Penglai Fairy Island?”
“Exactly! I think the Wagner family is even better!”
“Gary is a genius; the Ancient Wagner family might rise because of him!”
Matt and a few flatterers ingratiated themselves to Adele and Gary, wearing obsequious expressions.
They were all mid-level Void Reclusion experts, but when it came to flattery, they seemed to have no qualms.
Cultivators were also human beings, and flattery could be found everywhere.
And in the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle prevailed, where the strong ruled.
It was only natural for the weak to bow their heads to the strong.
These candidates who had reached the mid-level of Void Reclusion would be admired geniuses if they were placed outside.
However, now, in order to cling to Adele and Gary, follow them to the end, and even obtain a spot for the Seed of the Star Path, what harm was there in flattering them a bit?
“Hehe, the Porter Family of the Northern Border is indeed nothing special.”
“I don’t know if my rise will affect the family.”
“Now, my only concern is to wholeheartedly help Adele reach the end and become the Seed of the Star Path.”
Gary said softly, turning his head to look at Adele with deep affection.
“Hmm!”
Adele avoided his gaze and nodded lightly.
Although she maintained a cool demeanor and had not explicitly accepted Gary, his various attentiveness and heartfelt gestures along the way had already sparked some fondness in Adele.
After all, Gary’s talent and potential were evident, and Adele couldn’t help but regard him highly.
If they were to consider peers of the same age, Gary was definitely one of the few who could match her.
With his relentless efforts to please her, Adele was starting to be swayed.
Meanwhile, on the other side!
Cecil approached the direction indicated by Adele earlier, carrying a hint of resentment and frustration, being extremely cautious.
Scouting was undoubtedly a dangerous task.
If they encountered other participants, they could easily be eliminated.
However, Cecil didn’t dare to defy Gary’s intentions, as otherwise, not only the other participants but Gary and his group might kill him.
“I hope these three individuals aren’t too strong.”
Cecil thought to himself.
But at that moment, his scalp suddenly tingled as he distinctly heard three landing sounds.
Three figures leaped down from a nearby tree and appeared in front of him.
Cecil’s expression froze, barely refraining from attacking directly.
“Cecil?”
However, right after that, a voice filled with surprise sounded, shaking Cecil to his core.
With the aid of the light emitted from a mountain fire several kilometers away, he recognized who the three individuals were.
“Lachlan!”
“I had been guessing in my mind if the three of you would be the combination.”
“It really is you! This is wonderful!”
Cecil looked at Lachlan, and a sense of relief washed over him, his face filled with joy.
“Cecil, are you alone?”
Lachlan observed Cecil, not too surprised by the fact that he had reached the Mid Void Reclusion stage.
“Hmm! I’m the only one left.”
“Ah…”
Mentioning this, Cecil sighed, but he didn’t seem inclined to speak much about it.
The next moment, his expression turned serious, and his tone became grave. “By the way, Lachlan, you all need to run!”
“I’ll be honest with you, I was actually scouting!”
“Behind me, there’s an extremely powerful team! The leader is Adele from Penglai Fairy Island!”
“Besides her, there’s a guy named Gary who is not weak, to say the least.”
“They are accompanied by six other individuals at the Mid Void Reclusion stage!”
“Hurry, or it’ll be too late!”
Cecil urgently reminded, lowering his voice to the minimum.
Thinking about Adele and her group behind him, Cecil couldn’t help but feel anxious for Lachlan and the others.
“Cecil, you little rascal!”
“So, it turns out they are your old friends!”
“You really made it clear about our strength, you’ve done quite a thorough job!”
