On the golden flying boat of the Yates family, Brody glanced at Noah Shadow with deep apprehension and said to Ethan, “Ethan, that’s Noah Shadow, the young master of Yin Shadow Gate.”
Ethan looked at Noah Shadow and nodded, his sharp eyes flashing with determination.
“The five great prodigies, after this trip to Pill Sovereign Island, one spot will be mine!” Ethan’s hands slowly clenched within his sleeves.
Ethan was also known as a genius in the Martial Dynasty, with his strength reaching the upper-tier Spirit Saint level. However, his achievements in battle were lacking, so he hadn’t been selected as one of the five great prodigies.
“Ethan, the five great prodigies are considered the most likely to reach the Spirit God realm. They represent the dynasty’s fortune and have unfathomable strength. Do not underestimate them,” Elder Quincy said gravely.
“Don’t worry, Elder. I understand,” Ethan nodded.
As everyone waited, a white flying boat sped towards them from the distant sky.
The white flying boat covered in runes had several powerful figures standing at its front.
The person in the center wore a purple robe adorned with runes. His eyes sparkled like stars, and his smile gave off a feeling of warmth.
Behind him were several elders in white rune robes.
The elders also exuded strong auras.
“They’re from the Runecarver Sect!”
“The one in the center is Gilberto, the young master of Runecarver Sect.”
Someone in the crowd murmured, “I heard his cultivation has reached the peak of mid-stage Spirit Saint, and he has incredible talent in Talisman Path.”
The arrival of the Runecarver Sect sparked discussions among the crowd.
Like Yin Shadow Gate, Runecarver Sect was one of the three most powerful sects in the Martial Dynasty, naturally drawing attention from cultivators.
As the white flying boat approached, its runes flickered and it hovered in mid-air.
Gilberto stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the boat, gazing at Pill Sovereign Island.
However, his attention was soon drawn to a large black flying boat in the air.
Seeing the people from Yin Shadow Gate on the boat, Gilberto squinted his eyes.
After exchanging a glance with Noah Shadow, Gilberto’s gaze swept over the other cultivators.
Suddenly, Gilberto’s pupils contracted sharply, and intense killing intent burst from his eyes.
His murderous gaze focused on a cultivator in white standing beside Seraphina.
Noticing Gilberto’s unusual expression, the cultivators followed his gaze and saw that his target was an unfamiliar man standing next to Seraphina. Many cultivators showed expressions of anticipation.
The person being stared at by Gilberto was Leo.
“Young master, it’s that little wretch!” Elder Derick’s old eyes narrowed sharply behind Gilberto.
“I see him,” Gilberto’s killing intent did not diminish, and his face grew darker.
The humiliation of that day was unforgettable!
Especially today, seeing that boy standing so close to Seraphina made Gilberto’s anger and intolerance surge even more.
“Young master, should we kill him now?” Elder Derick asked.
Among the accompanying elders of Runecarver Sect were those at the peak of upper-tier Spirit Saint level. To Derick, killing that boy shouldn’t take much effort.
“No need. I will kill him myself!” Gilberto shook his head. His cold gaze fixed on Leo as he raised a hand and made a throat-slitting gesture towards him under many cultivators’ watchful eyes.
“Who is that young man standing next to Seraphina?”
“I don’t know, but he must have a grudge with Gilberto.”
“It seems more than just a grudge. Gilberto’s gesture clearly shows he wants to kill that young man!”
“Looks like there’s going to be quite a show today.”
The cultivators whispered among themselves with interest.
Seeing Gilberto’s gesture, Leo’s eyes turned cold, and a chilling smile appeared on his lips.
A mere defeated opponent dared to provoke him again. It was simply courting death.
However, a defeated opponent once could be defeated again. The only thing that troubled Leo was the group of old monsters from Runecarver Sect behind Gilberto.
“Elder Mistwood, who is that person? He seems to have earned Gilberto’s deep hatred.” On Yin Shadow Gate’s flying boat, Noah Shadow asked an elder in black behind him.
The elder called “Elder Mistwood” was short and had a sinister appearance but exuded a powerful aura.
Hearing this, Elder Mistwood squinted his eyes and looked in Leo’s direction. “Young master, you have been in seclusion recently and may not know what happened.”
“He is a newly appointed lord of a remote town called Clearwind Town. He is skilled in alchemy and attracted Pill Thunder while refining pills. The Martial Dynasty emperor invited him to the palace to cure Princess Lyra’s illness.”
“As for his grudge with Gilberto, it is said that he defeated Gilberto in a Talisman Fight at Falling Blossom Palace, leaving Gilberto humiliated. That’s why Gilberto holds such a grudge against him.”
“Oh, is that so? Isn’t Gilberto known as a prodigy in Talisman Path? He actually lost.” Noah Shadow showed a surprised expression and glanced at Leo again.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze. A mid-stage Spirit Saint peak cultivator wasn’t worth too much attention from him.
Currently, only four others were qualified to be his opponents.
At this moment, another streak of light flew over from the distant sky.
It was a lotus-shaped flying boat glowing with white light. Several bald monks in robes stood on it.
“The Diamond Fortress people are here too!”
“Leading them is Monk Benjamin, one of the five great prodigies.”
The cultivators’ attention shifted to the lotus flying boat, but most eyes fell on a young monk among them.
The young monk had delicate features and wore a moon-white robe. His eyes shone with wisdom.
“Benjamin, let’s see how many moves you can withstand this time.” Seeing the young monk, Noah Shadow’s left eye gleamed coldly as he thought to himself.
Sensing Noah Shadow’s gaze, Monk Benjamin looked in his direction.
At this time, two more boats quickly approached-one flying boat and one sea boat.
The flying boat was red with fire runes flickering on its surface, emanating strong fire energy.
A burly young man with rugged features stood at the front of the flying boat.
The burly man had short red hair that looked like flames.
Behind him were several young men and elders.
The sea boat was blue and sped across Star Moon Lake.
At its front stood a woman with fresh features.
