Chapter 5373
'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..." i

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.
"Senior Brother!"
The next second, Rachelle could not help but ask Adam," Where's Darryl? Did he run
away? Did you manage to get any cultivation skills off him?"
From the looks of the situation before her, her Senior Brother had to have won the battle.
However, Adam stood rooted to the ground, unmoving as if he was stuck in his own world.
Adam began to mumble the Art of Grand Brightness chant to himself. He appeared to be
in a crazed state, utterly deaf to Rachelle's voice.
"Senior Brother?"
Rachelle called out once again.
Adam remained unresponsive...
What was going on?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll at once, Rachelle grew slightly panicked. What just happened? Why did her Senior
Brother look like he was off his rocker?
Just then, a series of footsteps could be heard. It was followed by a little under a hundred
True Flame Sect pupils rushing over, all drenched in sweat.
The pupils had been left behind long ago by Darryl and had just made their way over.
"Sect Master, Holy Nun..."
Rachelle's figure jerked at the sight of the pupils, calling out anxiously, "Quick, go see
about him..."
She was as close as siblings with Adam, and she was very much worried at the look on his
face.
The pupils sensed something was off from her words and called out in acknowledgment as
they rushed off.
"Master?"
"Sect Master..."
The pupils got closer as they called for Adam carefully.
Buzz!
However, before they could get close, Adam's gaze grew bloodshot. He raised his hands,
sending out a powerful aura rolling out around him.
The pupils could not react in time as they flew through the air before falling to the ground
unconscious.
