"Brother Fane, thank you for choosing to stay. I thought you would choose to go with the Pavilion of Billow Cloud. After all, they're more powerful than us, not to mention that they have slightly more soulpenetrating level fighters than we do. The Master of the Pavilion of Billow Cloud is even at the second-grade soul-penetrating level!"
After the big crowd left the scene, Austin looked at Fane and his group with a grateful face. The Nine Armies lost a lot this time, so he was really afraid that Fane and his men would decide to go with the Pavilion of Billow Cloud, and the Nine Armies would be in huge trouble if the Alliance Guard sent their underlings to seek trouble.
Nonetheless, Fane smiled lightly and said," I don't think that my elder brother, Lance will forgive me that easily. He's now the disciple of the First Elder of the Pavilion of Billow Cloud. So that’s no way I'd go with them. Besides, we suddenly barged into this place and put you guys in danger, and I truly feel sorry about that. So, I think it's better and wiser for us to stay with you guys, going through thick and thin together!"
Fane's words made Austin feel guilty and ashamed of himself because they knew that they were no match for the Bloodshed Clan and decided to wait, at the same time, somewhat reluctant to help Fane and the group. However, Fane and his group in the end still decided to go through thick and thin with them, when they could have secretly left the forest when the Nine Armies were fighting with the Bloodshed clan.
"Young Master Fane, no matter what, we’re stuck with you! We don't want to follow those people at all! After all, those who are from the Hall of Divine Royal decided to join the Pavilion of Billow Cloud, and we despised being under the same clan with them!"
The head of a second-class family said to Fane after thinking for a brief moment.
“He's right, Young Master Fane! Although the Pavilion of Billow Cloud is strong and powerful, we have faith in you! We believe that once you break through to the soulpenetrating realm, the Pavilion of Billow Cloud is nothing to you!"
Another head of a third-class family immediately chimed in and looked at Fane with a smile.
They all knew very well in their hearts that Fane was a third-grade alchemist, and although the Pavilion of Billow Cloud might appear to be strong and powerful right now, as long as Fane had time to refine pills and distribute them to the others, they all would be able to improve their martial status in no time. Moreover, Fane was a genius among the geniuses; it would be the wisest and the most promising choice to follow Fane.
Fane did not know whether to cry or laugh after hearing all these boot-licking compliments from these family heads.
He then looked at Austin and handed him a healing pill. "First Fortress Master, I made this healing pill and it's quite effective.
Take it and you shall recover from your injuries in no time." "Thank you! Austin had healing pills as well, but since Fane had offered him his, he did not want to reject his kindness. So, he accepted Fane's healing pill with a smile on his face and swallowed the pills. "Fortress Master Whittemore will arrange places for all of you to stay! On top of that, we'll send several men to keep an eye on the peaks of the hills, and once we find anomalies or people from the Alliance Guard approaching this place, we can be notified immediately and prepare in advance!"
Fane nodded his head in agreement. "The Sword King Clan will definitely report to their superiors and they will hold discussion over it. And this back and forth effort will take some time, at least a month I guess. So, we're relatively safe for at least a month, and within this one month, we shall improve our martial status! It's the golden opportunity for us to train and improve ourselves!"
"Meh? But how much can we improve in just a month's time?"
Austin smiled bitterly upon hearing Fane's words. "Raising the martial level in one month? Right, even if some semi-god level fighters are able to break into the early stage of the true god realm, it's not much use for us. What we need are fighters with ultimate god level or soul-penetrating level! Only if we could have more people with soul-penetrating level!"
"Haha! Don't worry about that. I’m certain that someone among us will break into the soul-penetrating realm within a month!" Fane chuckled and responded.
