Chapter 3932 The Magnificent Willowbank
Meanwhile, in Astre Lune Sect. Quirina was sitting at the head of the table in the meeting room with a grave expression. The rest of the core Astre Lune Sect members had sullen looks on their faces as well.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy. It was as if everyone inside had one foot in the grave, with how lifeless and lacking vigor they were.
Ever since they got the news that Levi and the others had lost their lives at Dragon’s Grave Valley, it felt as if the entirety of Astre Lune Sect had been dealt a fatal blow. It was like their last pillar of mental stability had crumbled.
“It’s true that Levi is very strong, Lord Morell, but he was too arrogant in the end. It’s not surprising that he met his end. What matters is how we proceed after this,” one of the elders murmured.
His words held a lot of meaning, most important of which was their attitude toward Eclipse. In the past, many fighters from Eclipse Academy had taken the lives of those in Astre Lune Sect. Even though it was Levi’s doing, Astre Lune Sect’s involvement couldn’t be erased.
Nothing could be kept a secret forever, though. When the council members of Eclipse heard of it, they would immediately consider Astre Lune Sect as accomplices.
When the time came, and Eclipse sent their fighters to attack, Astre Lune Sect would be decimated.
Nonetheless, if they took the initiative to clear the air, they might be able to get a last chance at life.
“That’s right, Lord Morell. Yesterday, I heard that Eclipse has already found out there’s another girl following Levi other than Larissa.”
“If Cheriette is identified, Astre Lune Sect will soon be doomed.”
“We have to start planning now. Otherwise, we’ll regret it when the time comes.”
“You should make a choice, Lord Morell. Things will only get worse as time goes on. If we take the initiative to come clean, they might go easier on us.”
Many of the council members in Astre Lune Sect were worked up.
Since Levi was already dead, there was no one who could protect the sect anymore.
Naturally, there were a few people who were against the idea of Levi slaughtering members of Eclipse from the start. After all, it would inevitably leave a grudge.
Quirina frowned deeply. She truly didn’t know what to do. “Is it really possible that Levi is dead?”
She wasn’t sure. However, she kept hearing news about Levi being dead, not to mention that there were so many people trying to advise her.
Even if she were to forcefully stop them right then, that didn’t mean she would be able to prevent them from making a move in secret.
“Give me some time to think, elders,” she pleaded. On the inside, she still refused to believe that Levi was dead. She even had the intention of going to see for herself.
It was then that someone on the outside reported, “Lord Morell, we just got word that a miraculous phenomenon has occurred in Dragon’s Grave Valley. It has attracted the Cordierite Association’s attention.”
“A miraculous phenomenon? Cordierite Association?” Quirina was stunned.
Since the Cordierite Association had gone to investigate, they would definitely have accurate news regarding Levi.
“Get people to keep an eye on the Cordierite Association’s actions,” she ordered instantly.
On the other hand, the Cordierite Association’s group had reached Willowbank.
The entire city was located at the center of a group of scattered islands in the middle of the sea.
That sea was known as the Formation Sea. Its colors blended in with the sky. It was nighttime, and the starlight reflected on the water’s surface was exceptionally dazzling.
However, that eye-catching glow was not the result of true stars. Instead, it was the light from a kind of low-grade magical herb known as icy starstone.
Icy starstones had incredibly low density, so they were able to float on the surface of the sea. Some would sink to around one or two meters below the surface.
When night fell, the icy starstones would shimmer. That was what made the sea look as if it was covered in the brilliant glow of the stars. Because of that, it was also called the Sea of Stars.
The thousands of islands scattered around the Sea of Stars were collectively referred to as Willowbank.
The sects in Willowbank were fairly intertwined, and they were dozens of times bigger than those in Lightspring.
