Chapter 3976
After he said that, Yeagen began to slow down and slowly pulled away from his fellow disciples. However, as he started to pull away, what he said resonated with everyone there, striking them like a bolt of thunder.
Yeagen's words had opened everyone's eyes to the reality of the situation.
He was right!
Two warriors at the peak were going to fight each other. If they went and tried to help, they could end up getting struck by stray attacks and might even end up like Teagan. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
They started to exchange looks of hesitation with one another. After all, their lives were at stake, so no one dared to play around with it.
After Yeagen landed, he looked over to his fellow disciples that were slowly getting further away from him. He could clearly feel that they were slowing down after hearing his words.
Yeagen smirked. Those words had been very effective. He looked around and immediately ran towards Skyreach Mountain.
In less than ten seconds after Yeagen turned around to leave, the disciples of the Searing Flame Clan had stopped in their tracks.
They all seemed to stop at the same time, slowly descending to the ground. They exchanged looks with each other. Even though no one spoke, everyone knew what each other was thinking. After a moment, one of the inner disciples shrugged.
"I'm too scared to go over! They're already so far away from us anyway. It's perfectly reasonable for them to outrun us. Even if we manage to catch up and help Triton, we might end up heavily injured because of it. Our lives might even be in danger. I'm not being overly cautious. I just feel like I need to be cautious when it comes to a fight between two warriors at the peak!"
The others all nodded, agreeing with what the inner disciple said. Even though Star Continent's warriors looked incredibly united on the surface, they were not that united internally.
There was no way they would sacrifice themselves for Triton's sake. On top of that, they had the perfect excuse at that moment. Even if Triton decides to blame them, they could use that excuse to shield themselves.
With that being the case, that group dropped their pursuit.
Of course, Yeagen was not trying to go back to Skyreach Mountain at all. He was just making a detour. Since he was putting on an act, he needed to make sure to go all the way.
After making a huge detour, Yeagen finally arrived where he agreed to meet Lourain.
At that moment, Lourain was feeling incredibly anxious. He was on his toes, constantly peering into the distance.
He let out a sigh of relief when he spotted Yeagen.
The moment Yeagen arrived, Lourain immediately grabbed Yeagen's arm. "How did it go? Did you
succeed?"
Yeagen nodded. "I've put on quite a good act. No one noticed anything wrong at all. It'll be up to the master to settle the rest."
After signing the master-slave contract, Yeagen started addressing Jack as master instead.
At that moment, Jack was frantically fleeing while constantly looking behind him.
When he saw that Triton was the only one left pursuing him, he let out a sigh of relief.
Jack only felt at ease when a bundle of fire appeared next to his ears and heard a sound being transmitted to his mind. That transmission was sent by Lourain. The contents were very simple.
Yeagen was already sure that the other disciples had been convinced and would not be following them. Only then was Jack completely confident.
He started to slow down, no longer frantically running away. Triton had a look of elation on his face when he felt Jack slowing down.
He had thought that he would need to continue running for at least a few more hours, but Jack had already given up after such a short time. It seemed like Jack's injuries were quite serious, which was good news to Triton.
