The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1418

When the voice faded into the ether, the figure of an old man emerged.

Judging from his aura, the old man must be a saint, which perplexed Ricky because this guy was the weakest saint he had ever seen.

But to his surprise, all the warriors in the square lowered their heads in respect as soon as they saw the old man.

"Elder Graysen!"

greeted all the disciples of the Helian Clan as they bowed down respectfully.

Upon hearing them call the old man Elder Graysen, Ricky immediately realized who the man was.

In the Helian Clan, aside from the top casting masters at the Sage Level who were hiding in the dark, there were also top casting masters at the Sage Level on the surface. Those were the head of the Helian Clan and their ten elders.

The Helian Clan's leader had highly likely achieved a Demi-divine Level in casting, while the weakest of the ten elders were casting masters that had reached the advanced stage of the Sage Level.

Any force considered casting masters at the advanced stage of the Sage Level with the utmost respect. With just that information, it was clear how prestigious and powerful the Helian Clan's ten elders were in the Misty South.

"You are Ricky Nan, the one who took Wayne, the casting genius of our Short Human tribe, as your disciple!"

Elder Graysen glared at Ricky frostily.

Just like his men, he also hankered for Ricky's death because he felt like the brat had tarnished the reputation not only of the Short Human tribe but also of the Helian Clan.

"Sir, Wayne isn't just my disciple. He's also a good friend of mine!"

Ricky defended immediately. He had come here to support his friend, but that didn't mean he wanted to offend the Helian Clan.

"How dare you take him as your disciple? We, the Short Human tribe, have never had an outsider serve as our member's master in casting. Are you trying to humiliate us?"

Elder Graysen confronted him.

Just as they were talking, several figures emerged from the skies.

Kolton, along with other saints from the forces that the Helian Clan invited, had finally arrived.

Many of these saints waited for what Kolton would do.

"What are you doing here?"

Kolton asked Ricky telepathically, feeling helpless upon seeing Ricky there.

"Sir, I can't leave my friend alone. Besides, he is my disciple and my responsibility,"

insisted Ricky with much concern.

"I understand, but deal with this carefully. The Helian Clan is not to be trifled with."

That was the only thing that Kolton could say after hearing the determination in Ricky's voice.

"Sir, I didn't do this to humiliate you.

Isn't it normal to accept when someone asks to be your disciple? I don't think that anything like that could be shameful,"

explained Ricky to the elder of the Helian Clan.

"Besides, don't you also invite elders to teach many of your disciples? Is that shameful too?"

"Enough of your impudence!"

Elder Graysen cut him off harshly.

"Of course we need to invite others for martial arts since our Helian Clan is not that good at fighting. However, we are the best in Misty South in terms of casting, so there's no need for our disciples to go looking for masters elsewhere. Have you ever heard of the strongest needing to be apprenticed? If someone in the Helian Clan took an outsider as their master in casting, that would be a great disgrace!"

"Please don't be offended. Ricky is still young and immature," Kolton immediately told Elder Graysen when he felt the other man's mounting anger. "You can just ask Wayne to withdraw from being Ricky's disciple, right?"

His suggestion seemed sound, for he figured that even the Misty South Palace wouldn't want to go head to head against the Helian Clan.

"Can't you keep a low profile, young man?" Kolton reprimanded Ricky using his internal power.
