Instantly, there was an uproar at the scene and discussions started to arise.
"What? Fade really broke the spell at the back of Tianwu Mountain? It's not real, is it?"
"Legend has it that the spell was set up by Master Hsuanyuen, but he's just a secular martial artist. Is it really possible?"
"Could it just be an excuse?"
Everyone started to discuss this matter. As for those who didn't know of this, they were asking around. In the end, they were left with shocked expressions on their faces.
Gotzel's face sank and he slammed his palm hard onto the armrest before he shouted in a stern voice.
"What kind of reason is this? Is this an excuse?"
Pluto hurriedly explained, "Master Tuan, this is not an excuse. I'm telling the truth, Fade did enter the cabin. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else. A lot of us were there at that time."
"This has nothing to do with me believing it or not," Gotzel coldly retorted. "I do not care what kind of reason he has. He is late and he has let us all wait for him here, this is a major disrespect."
"But..." Pluto still wanted to say something.
However, at this time, Kinsley who was seated in his chair, looked over and hinted at him to keep quiet.
He then smiled and said to Gotzel by his side, "Gotzel, relax."
"There's still fifteen minutes until the opening of the secret area of the Xuan Valley. Maybe Fade will be here soon. It's a big day today, so calm down."
At the side, Sanne also added with a smile, "It's not time yet. We don't have to rush. Let's just wait a little longer!"
Now that there were two clan leaders speaking up for Fade, not only Gotzel but the crowd in the courtyard was also shocked.
Gotzel's face sank slightly. His eyes flickered for a moment and he finally spoke after being silent for a few seconds.
"Since both of you have already spoken, I'll wait a little longer," he said in a low voice.
"However, let me make myself clear. If he doesn't show up on time, I won't go easy on him and I'll cancel his qualification. Don't blame me by then."
Kinsley's expression had a slight change, but Gotzel was not unreasonable. Hence, he could only shut his mouth and nodded.
With that, the scene was silent again. Everyone waited as each second passed.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The time seemed to pass a little too slowly for Gotzel, Wagner and Algot.
However, for Pluto, Kelly, and the others, it seemed as if the time was passing in the blink of an eye.
They looked in the direction of the back mountain, hoping that Fade would appear and make it in time.
Despite this, there wasn't a hint of movement up until that moment.
"There's only half a minute left." Gotzel's cold voice rang out.
In an instant, Pluto and the others felt as if cold water had been poured on them. Every one of them froze on the spot.
"Don't tell me Brother Chen is really going to miss this opportunity."
"Well, what should we do now?" "Fifteen seconds!” Gotzel's voice rang out again like a life-threatening spell.
"Phew, phew!"
Pluto and the others were so anxious that they almost stopped breathing.
"Ten seconds!"
