The Man’s Decree

“Of course! What else could be the reason?” Sylvain said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Sunlight bathed the land of Medicine God Island, and a gentle breeze swept across, but it couldn’t ease the tension that hung in the air at that moment.

“I don’t think that’s the true reason. You allowed everyone to enter Cauldron Peak, yet none of your own went in yourselves. I suspect there’s a scheme at play here.” Jared’s gaze was unwavering as he fearlessly met Sylvain’s eyes. “You’re not planning to take advantage of the Alchemist Fair to suppress all the alchemists in the Ethereal Realm so that you can monopolize the power, are you?”

Upon hearing Jared’s skepticism, a slight frown appeared on Sylvain’s face, and his smile vanished in an instant.

Meanwhile, Maxence, standing to the side, was seething with anger. He raised his voice, saying, “Mr. Chance, what proof do you have to claim that my father wants to suppress all the alchemists in the Ethereal Realm?”

His face was flushed red, a clear sign of his heightened emotions as he continued, “Not only does my father not want to suppress them, but he even willingly offered up the sacred ground where the Medicine God fell on Medicine God Island. His hope is to foster greater advancements within the medical field of the Ethereal Realm. Right now, our Medicine God Island is facing the threat of destruction, yet my father insisted on holding the Alchemist Fair here, allowing everyone to benefit from Cauldron Peak. I can’t believe you’re still doubting him!”

“Maxence…” Sylvain quickly shot a glare at Maxence. “Shut your mouth and don’t say another word!” His voice carried a hint of authority as he attempted to stop his son from impulsively arguing further.

Jared wore a puzzled expression, asking, “Facing the threat of destruction? What does that mean? Does it mean that Medicine God Island is going to collapse? If so, wouldn’t we all die here?”

His eyes were filled with confusion and suspicion as he stared intently at Sylvain, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from him.

Seeing Jared still in doubt, Sylvain sighed lightly and said, “Since you want to know, I won’t keep it from you!”

His gaze turned somber and serious before he went on, “To be honest with you, the Sky Slasher Sect has set their sights on the site of the Medicine God’s fall. They’ve been planning. to seize control over the island for a while now!”

Sylvain’s voice trembled slightly, as if he was recalling that terrifying threat.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“This time, the Sky Slasher Sect has rallied together thousands of disciples, intending to launch a devastating attack on our Medicine God Island! I estimate they’ll arrive in three days, and that’s why I insisted that everyone must leave Cauldron Peak within that time frame! No matter how many of Cauldron Peak’s secrets are revealed during this Alchemist Fair, at least they can still become treasures of the entire alchemy world. After you all leave, I’ll destroy Cauldron Peak. Even if I have to destroy it, I won’t let the Sky Slasher Sect take possession of it.”

Sylvain’s eyes were filled with resolve, as if he had already prepared himself to go down along with Medicine God Island.

“The Sky Slasher Sect? You mean the Demonic Cultivation sect renowned for their powerful magecraft?” At that moment, Viola, standing nearby, piped up in surprise.

Her complexion was slightly pale. Clearly, she had heard of the formidable reputation of this sect.

“Viola, are you familiar with this sect?” Jared turned his head, asking with urgency.

Viola nodded, her expression tense as she said, “The Sky Slasher Sect is a faction that specializes in magecraft, and they are all Demonic Cultivators. Its disciples are notorious for their wicked deeds. However, because their magecraft is so powerful, many people are helpless against them. The Sky Slasher Sect isn’t just proficient in magecraft; they also have some medical skills. That’s probably why they want to take over Medicine God Island.”

Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner fear.

With worry shining in his eyes, Sylvain added, “They’ve been coveting the resources of Medicine God Island for a long time, particularly the mysterious power and precious herbs contained in the place where the Medicine God fell. These elements are immensely beneficial in enhancing their magecraft and medical skills. We on Medicine God Island have always been renowned for our medical skills, so it’s true that our defensive capabilities are relatively weak in comparison.”
