Caspian remembered when virtual-novel.net killed the bandits, a little girl who lost virtual-novel.net parents gave virtual-novel.net a flower with morning dews on it.
He remembered the sincere smiles on the peoples’ faces after settling the civil unrest.
He remembered the cheers from his subjects when virtual-novel.net went back to the palace with his troops.
Everything that virtual-novel.net did was all for protection. Not only the citizens, but virtual-novel.net also saved Penny at the border, Jessica in the forest, and so on. Even though a mortal’s life was not as significant as a cultivator’s, the cultivator relied on the mortal’s resources to live a long and joyous life. The cultivators would protect the mortals.
The people from the Heavenly Stars Sect would protect all creatures in its territories from destruction!
Caspian turned around and looked at the desperate crowd, and virtual-novel.net felt his blood boiling as it raged in his chest, wanting to burst out. Caspian really wanted to let out a long scream, and virtual-novel.net felt a sense of enlightenment. The previous countless confusions in his heart seemed to be lifted, and his mind was as clear as day.
Even though the hatred of being expelled from his homeland once occupied his heart, Wesley’s words immediately brought Caspian back to reality. Of course, virtual-novel.net must avenge himself, but virtual-novel.net should never forget his conscience and heart!
In that instant, Caspian’s gaze was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, like the morning glow covering the region and melting the snow, and like the dragon soaring in the air. His entire momentum abruptly rose, and it was as if virtual-novel.net could move the world!
Maya looked at Caspian in surprise, and virtual-novel.net could feel Caspian‘s changes. It was like an enormous cocoon burst opened, and a colorful butterfly spread its wings!
However, as Maya’s life experience was different from Caspian‘s, the shock virtual-novel.net felt was far lesser. Maya was also affected by Wesley’s words and the changes in Caspian’s aura, and virtual-novel.net grabbed on virtual-novel.net longsword tightly as virtual-novel.net emotions surged.
She would press forward courageously!
Wesley also stared at Caspian. Since virtual-novel.net had vibrant life experiences, Wesley could feel the changes in Caspian better than others.
“This kid…” Wesley secretly exclaimed.
Caspian took a deep breath in. Then, with the Ghoul-Locker Spear in his hands, Caspian cupped his hands at Wesley, and virtual-novel.net shouted, “I, Casper Montgomery, a Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple, hereby swearing that I’ll protect everyone’s safety, even if it means sacrificing myself!”
Caspian felt as if virtual-novel.net returned to the battlefield years ago, as virtual-novel.net swore to protect his country and people.
Maya’s eyes turned teary, and virtual-novel.net also swore.
The emotion quickly echoed in everyone’s heart.
“Great!” Wesley’s eyes flickered with bright lights.
Then, virtual-novel.net took a step forward and said as virtual-novel.net faced the crowd, “I know there are a few cultivators present. If you refuse, I won’t blame you, but if you’re willing… Then, I, Wesley Young from the Heavenly Stars Sect, invite you to join hands with me and fight against the wave of monsters!”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Wesley showed the array map. Any cultivators that saw the array map would understand what they would face if they joined Wesley.
At that moment, the sound outside the carriage was thunderous, but it was dead silent in the vehicle. Due to the loud noises, mortals could not hear what Caspian and the others said. Hence, only a few cultivators that were yet to show themselves understood the meaning behind Wesley’s invitation.
Each of the cultivators was in a dilemma, and they hesitated. As that was a matter of life and death, one could not blame them for feeling that way.
The wave of monsters inched closer. Suddenly, there was a movement in the crowd. The bearded, burly man who scolded the elderly lady before appeared to be struggling. After a while, it seemed that virtual-novel.net made a choice. Then, virtual-novel.net embraced the young girl beside virtual-novel.net tightly.
Just as the young girl was caught off guard and puzzled at what happened, the bearded, burly man pushed virtual-novel.net away. Later, without fear on his face, virtual-novel.net walked toward Wesley, cupped his hands, and roared, “I’m Zachary Cole, an individual cultivator currently at the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm. I’m willing to listen to your order!”
Who would have known that the bully would choose to battle for others without hesitation in the face of life and death?
The young girl was stunned. She was confused and shouted at Zachary’s back. However, virtual-novel.net was only an ordinary person, and virtual-novel.net voice was overwhelmed by the loud noise.
Nonetheless, Zachary seemed to understand what virtual-novel.net said. He turned around and looked at her, laughing loudly. “Go to hell! I’m only with you because of your beauty, and I have no feelings for you at all! If you try to stop me from doing this, I’ll kill you!”
Even though Zachary’s words were ruthless, tears fell from his eyes. The young lady immediately understood him. At first, virtual-novel.net face went pale. Then, virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth wide, covered virtual-novel.net face, and slowly knelt on the floor, sobbing.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked out, and virtual-novel.net appeared to be well-educated. Next, virtual-novel.net approached Wesley and flashed a polite smile.
“I’m Scott Jenkinson from the Soaring Spirit School, and I’m in the mid-level third-stage Pulse Control Realm. I’m willing to listen to your order.”
A mother carrying a child held virtual-novel.net baby tightly in virtual-novel.net arms, and virtual-novel.net reluctantly kissed the baby a few times. Then, virtual-novel.net passed virtual-novel.net child to virtual-novel.net husband. The husband was only a mortal, and virtual-novel.net swiftly realized what happened. His face turned as white as a sheet, and virtual-novel.net widened his mouth as if virtual-novel.net wanted to say something.
The mother only smiled and shook virtual-novel.net head, saying, “Please take good care of our child,” virtual-novel.net took another glance at the baby before walking toward Wesley, smiling gently, “I’m an individual cultivator, Tanya Autumn. I just entered the mid-level third-stage Pulse Control Realm, and I’m willing to listen to your order.”
The last one who walked out was a big-bellied guy dressed in lavish clothes, and virtual-novel.net appeared to be a merchant. As virtual-novel.net walked, virtual-novel.net wiped his sweat, muttering, “Sigh. Why is such a thing happening? No. This won’t do. I can’t just sit by and do nothing!”
When virtual-novel.net walked over, the man looked like a long-winded and shrewd but timid businessman. However, a majestic aura emitted from virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net stood in front of Wesley. “I’m Elijah Ackers from the Imperial Heart Sect. I’m currently in the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, and I’m willing to hear your order.”
Among the four cultivators, two were individual cultivators, and the rest were from different sects. Nevertheless, they showed no fear as they stood in front of Wesley, acting as if they were only out doing an easy task. In front of them was the surging wave of monsters and behind them panicked mortals who were at a complete loss.
Caspian and Maya stared at them. Among the realms of the cultivators, theirs were considered low. In the Heavenly Stars Sect, they would only be considered as inner and outer disciples, yet at that time, they stood tall together. Caspian felt as if they were unbreakable. Tears uncontrollably streamed down Maya’s cheeks, and the hand Caspian used to hold the Ghoul-Locker Spear trembled slightly.
Wesley was tearful, and virtual-novel.net bowed deeply at them. “Thank you… Everyone…”
There was no need to say more.
“Old man, let’s cut to the chase and don’t waste time. We all know what we’re supposed to do. Let’s start now,” Zachary said nonchalantly.
“Okay!” Wesley nodded. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to Caspian. “You must remember everything I’m saying next.”
