'This can't be…'
Amidst the ground-breaking shock in his heart, Adam stood frozen as he was unable to return to his senses.
Just then, Darryl put away the Red Lotus Fayette, staring at Adam with the ghost of a smile on his face. "I told you that you were no match for me, Adam. Do you believe me now? Also, let me repeat that I have never learned the mysterious cultivation method of the Heavenly Secret Palace. What I summoned earlier was the Red Lotus Fayette. It's not from here. Got it?"
As he spoke, Darryl's gaze was nothing but pitiful.
Adam was quite a talented cultivator, but his downfall was his relentless ego.
'The Red Lotus Fayette?'
Adam's gaze flashed at the words, his mind working furiously. After racking his brains, he still could not remember ever knowing of such a thing.
A few seconds later, Adam laughed loudly in Darryl's direction as if he had just realized something. "Haha! Do you really think I'm that stupid, Darryl Darby? You made up all that junk about the Red Lotus Fayette…"
As he roared the words, Adam recalled what had just happened.
The flame of the Art of Grand Brightness was extremely strong, and no cultivation method was strong enough to usurp it.
However, a single move by Darryl— that bloody lotus—had taken down his flame shadow. Could Adam… have messed up in his own cultivation?
All at once, Adam fell into a deep dilemma. He could not, for the life of him, understand what was going on. He became even more confused as he tried to figure it out.
Darryl sighed at the crazed look on Adam's face, shaking his head. "I've said all I needed to say. Please take care, Adam Bedford."
As the words rang through the air, Darryl turned to walk away.
Just then, Adam remained frozen as he was still in a dilemma.
How had the flame of the Art of Grand Brightness been usurped? It had never happened in the history of the True Flame Sect.
From the looks of it, he had to have messed up while cultivating the Art of Grand Brightness…
Whew…
Just as Adam was rooted to the ground, mumbling to himself, Rachelle slowly returned to her senses from where she was unconscious by the waterfall.
Upon opening her eyes and taking in the sight before her, Rachelle stopped short.
All that could be seen was Adam standing frozen, his expression flitting wildly. His surroundings were in chaos, as if a great battle had just occurred.
Upon casting a look around her and noticing that Darryl was nowhere to be seen, Rachelle seemed to realize something as she grew overwhelmed with emotion.
