He couldn’t imagine how a Martial Arts Saint could actually wound a Martial Arts God. Moreover, he couldn’t understand how a Demonic Cultivator was capable of amassing such massive amounts of faith energy. Subsequently, Matthew gently put his fingers on Jared’s wrist to take his pulse.
A short while later, Matthew snapped at his two disciples, “How dare both of you lie to me? Did both of you beat him up, then accuse him of being a Demonic Cultivator just to shift the blame?”
The scowl on his face was so terrifying that it brought both Archer and Skyler to their knees. “Master, there’s no way we would be brazen enough to hide the truth from you. This man is undoubtedly a Demonic Cultivator. I saw how he absorbed Yosef’s powers with my own eyes,” Archer frantically explained. “Master, Archer is right. I saw it too. We would definitely not lie to you,” Skyler added.
Matthew maintained an icy look at Archer and Skyler. When he finally discerned that they were telling the truth, he replied, “This man isn’t a Demonic Cultivator. As for you witnessing him absorbing Yosef’s powers, I’m certain there’s more to it than meets the eye. I cannot detect any sign of evil energy within him. Instead, he is brimming with positive energy and other forms of energy that I don’t recognize yet. Skyler, go get my amp pill and give it to him. We’ll discuss this once he’s awake.”
Before Skyler did as she was told, Archer protested, “Master, the amp pill is a pill used for emergency situations, and we don’t have many of them. Wouldn’t it be a waste to give one to a Demonic Cultivator?”
“Nonsense. Didn’t I just say that he isn’t one? Have you not learned anything after all that I taught you? Even though Luminous Sect lives in seclusion, we are obliged to save anyone whose life is in danger. It’s true that power is what we pursue, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t have a heart. Once a person is no longer merciful, they are nothing but a killing machine regardless of how powerful they become. Now, bring the amp pill right away.”
Even though Matthew was reprimanding. Archer, he spoke loud enough so that all the other disciples would learn the same lesson. In response, Skyler rushed off and swiftly. returned with a green pill which she handed over to Matthew.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Matthew popped the pill into Jared’s mouth. Right after, he transferred waves of martial energy into Jared’s body. “All of you, step aside. I’m going to treat him now.”
Matthew gestured to dismiss his disciples. Meanwhile, at Stormwind Sect, Hugh Fairchild was furious to see the pathetic state his son was in.
“Just look at you now. How can you still call yourself my son? Haven’t you been going. around boasting that you’re the best among the younger generation of hidden sect members and that no one can defeat you? That pathetic look on your face is such a disgrace.”
Red with anger, Hugh unleashed a tirade upon Garthor. The latter had his head lowered in silence as he endured his father’s scolding. He was indeed beaten up miserably by a lowly Martial Arts. Saint and subsequently humiliated by those from Luminous Sect-both were events that clearly disgraced Stormwind Sect.
Just as Hugh was reprimanding Garthor, at middle-aged woman approached them, together with a youth in his early twenties. “Hugh, I heard that Garthor is injured. What in the world happened?” the woman asked Hugh.
The young man threw Garthor a glance. “Garthor, why do you look so pathetic? Were you attacked by the elders from the hidden realm? Technically speaking, this shouldn’t. happen. Didn’t all the sects come to an agreement that the elders wouldn’t attack any of the younger members? On top of that, aren’t you supposed to be the strongest among this group? Who else is capable of defeating you?”
Even though the young man was showing hist concern, the schadenfreude in his tone was unmistakable.
