Because Yunhuang City is close to the Yunhuang Mountains, it is a major city in the Lorin Kingdom. Although there has never been an awakened bloodline holder stationed there, in the Fang, Jin, and Feng families, as well as in the City Lord’s mansion, there are still one or two grandmasters. However, among these grandmasters, there is no blood-exchange stage expert named Andrew Scott. This person is following him, clearly with ill intent...

It’s probably related to Ethan Brooks.

“This woman...”

Brian Carter’s brows furrowed.

The token of a disciple of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect was given to him by Alice Bennett, who saw Brian Foster’s outstanding talent. However, for a long time afterward, because he gave his resources to Ethan Brooks for her cultivation, his own performance was mediocre, causing David Foster to be unwilling to give him the token and send him to the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect.

After all, the token was something Alice Bennett had specially requested from the sect for the The Foster Family. If the The Foster Family sent someone with mediocre cultivation to the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, not only would it disgrace Alice Bennett, but what would the other true disciples and elders think? It would be one thing to use connections to send someone directly into the inner sect, but to send someone who isn’t even qualified to be an outer disciple? Do they think the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect’s inner sect is their own private domain?

Because of this, the ownership of the token remained undecided, and people in the The Foster Family coveted it greatly. Out of jealousy, they were also extremely hostile toward Brian Foster, which gave Ethan Brooks an opportunity to exploit.

Now, Ethan Brooks has obtained the token and entered the inner sect of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, and by a stroke of luck, has even caught the eye of Elder Parker...

If Brian Carter were to remain ordinary, spending his life trapped in Yunhuang City and never entering the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, then no one would pursue the matter of her entering the inner sect by stealing the disciple token.

But once Brian Carter enters the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect and performs outstandingly, as long as Alice Bennett gives a little push at the right time... not only will Ethan Brooks be affected, but even Elder Parker will be criticized.

Alice Bennett had already stated that Ethan Brooks was a thief, yet Elder Parker insisted on taking her as a disciple of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, almost causing the sect to miss out on an even more talented disciple. At that time, not only Ethan Brooks, but even Elder Parker would be reprimanded. Even if there is no specific punishment, if Elder Parker holds a grudge over this, then Ethan Brooks, who entered his tutelage, would be finished for life.

Ethan Brooks clearly understands this. After witnessing Brian Carter display combat power not inferior to a peak Refined Viscera expert, she immediately had Andrew Scott follow him, intending to secretly make a move.

“Blood-exchange stage...”

With his mastery of Sacred Arts, the swordsmanship of the Dongyang Sword Sect, and the sword talent blessed by the Hunyuan Divine Hall, Brian Carter could defeat even peak Refined Viscera experts. But when facing this blood-exchange grandmaster before him...

He was clearly outmatched.

Moreover, the swordsmanship and techniques mastered by young peak Refined Viscera experts like Karen Miller were far inferior to those of Andrew Scott. Even if they were both at the peak of the Refined Viscera stage, Karen Miller would by no means be a match for Andrew Scott.

“Ethan Brooks... I have merged with Brian Foster’s body, so I should also inherit the grudges and enmities that come with it. Originally, I was eager to reach the Shattered Void stage and had no time to bother with these trivial matters. Even with Henry Foster and Samuel Foster, I only gave them a lesson and let it go. I even planned to let you off the hook for the sake of that bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill. But I didn’t expect you to be so relentless, trying to put me to death... Very well, since you want to keep playing, I’ll accompany you to the end!”

A trace of coldness appeared in Brian Carter’s eyes. “Cultivation? Where can’t one cultivate? The Hunyuan Heavenly Sect... is just as good!”

His comprehension had increased, and his mind worked extremely quickly. He understood why Andrew Scott was only following from a distance and didn’t dare to make a move immediately—clearly, he was afraid of exposing himself.

If news of Andrew Scott killing him got out and reached Alice Bennett, and Alice Bennett seized the opportunity to act, not to mention whether they could withstand Alice Bennett’s wrath, even if the Elder Parker behind them intervened, they might not be able to protect them.

The status of a true disciple is not necessarily much weaker than that of an elder. Some outstanding true disciples are even qualified to compete for the position of vice sect master and become the future successor of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect.

Thinking of this, Brian Carter continued to use a special technique to channel energy into his bones, cultivating at the Marrow Cleansing stage, while walking steadily along the main road.

Before long, he saw a caravan approaching from the direction of Yunhuang City, flying the banner of Yunlin Pavilion.

Considering the vast influence of Yunlin Pavilion in the Lorin Kingdom and the rumored presence of a true disciple of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect behind them, Brian Carter stepped forward and cupped his hands to the leader. “Greetings, Steward. May I ask your name?”

“So it’s Young Master Brian Carter of the The Foster Family. You may call me Philip White, Young Master. What can I do for you?”

The leading steward, seeing Brian Carter, did not dare to be negligent and returned the greeting.

“I would like to ride in one of Yunlin Pavilion’s carriages for a while. I hope you can accommodate me.”

Philip White hesitated for less than a moment before agreeing, “That’s no trouble at all. I’ll arrange a carriage for Young Master Brian Carter right away. However, we are heading to the Lorin Royal Capital. I wonder if that’s on your way?”

“As it happens, my destination is also the Lorin Royal Capital.”

“Oh? Is Young Master Brian Carter planning to take the flying boat from the Lorin Royal Capital to the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect?”

Brian Carter nodded, not hiding his intentions.

At this, Philip White became even more enthusiastic. “I’ll give the orders right away. We will certainly not neglect Young Master Brian Carter.”

Very soon, everything was arranged, and a carriage was specially cleared out for Brian Carter.
