When Gotzel and Jiles heard this, their expressions grew even more grim.

Not only had they lost, they had lost very badly.

It would be a huge blow to themselves as well as the reputation of their clans.

For a moment, the two of them stood stunned, unable to accept what had happened.

"How is this possible?"

"How could he be so strong?"

Meanwhile, Fade was replaying the battle in his head.

The blazing flames had come from him. Given his strength before entering the Xuan Valley, it would have been a much tougher fight without them, even if he somehow managed to win in the end. "Martial essence! This has to be martial essence! No other power could be this strong!"

"All this when I haven't even found an elixir core. If only I could find a suitable fire core, refine it, and fuse it to enter the Lord Level. Imagine how strong I'll be then!"

For a moment, Fade let his mind wander and he daydreamed about reaching Lord Level.

At that moment, his mental power tingled gently.

He instantly came to his senses and turned his attention to Algot and Baxter.

His eyes lit up and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "The mental power invasion has been successful. It doesn't matter if they talk now."

Fade's mental power was nothing compared to his positive energy. It took him such a long time to control these two people.

Knowing this, he was determined to increase his mental power. He was far too weak presently.

Fortunately, he kept this thought to himself.

Everyone there would have had a fit if they heard it.

After all, there were more than a thousand people present. Amongst them, there were 70 to 80 Heaven Level masters and around 10 more masters who were at the peak stage of the Heaven Level. However, there was not a single martial artist present who comprehended mental power.

That was true even for the four clan guardians.

As for Fade, not only had he comprehended mental power, he thought that he was too weak.

As the saying went, comparisons were odious!

As Fade was smiling in surprise, Gotzel stabilized his body and quickly checked his injuries. It was not too serious. His blood and meridians were affected by the backlash and he would recover after a period of time.

Even so, he was fuming.

He, the dignified guardian of the Tianwu Clan and a master in the Half-Lord Level, had been defeated by a mere boy less than 30 years old!

What a failure! How humiliating!

How could he maintain his reputation in the martial arts world now?

He was embarrassed and angry, and as such, he almost lashed out at Fade

However, when he thought of Fade's horrifying strength, he hesitated.

"Must we bring out our clan's ancestors who have gone into retreat?" He thought to himself.

On the other side, Jiles was also thinking the same thing.

However, at this time, Fade looked around and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, as for the matter of me killing Monash, let the two of them tell the truth themselves!"

As soon as he spoke, the crowd fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

Fade gently tapped Algot and Baxter on the head with his finger. "Are you two colluding with Monash to assassinate me?"

The expressions of the duo were dull, and when they heard his question, they answered instinctively.

"It's true. The three of us joined forces to assassinate Fade, but we didn't succeed."

"What was the situation at that time?" Fade asked.

"Monash asked us to hide and help him. He personally launched a sneak attack on Fade, who was comprehending the martial essence. However, he failed and was beaten back. We helped him, but were thwarted by Yura, who had rushed over."

Hearing this, the crowd was shocked.

Fade continued, "How did you frame me at that time?"

"Monash already discussed the countermeasures with us. If the sneak attack failed, the three of us would testify that you stole our things and that you started the fight."

At this moment, Yura beamed in excitement. She clapped her hands and said, "I told you to trust Fade. It was a sneak attack."

Wagner scowled. "How could this happen? Why did Algot betray the clan?"

Fade wondered about the same thing. "What did Monash give you to betray your clans and to make you assassinate me?"

"Monash gave us pills and magic weapons worth billions. He also promised each of us a chance to enter Prohibition Island if he succeeded."

Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar.

"Billions in pills and magic weapons. Isn't Monash being too generous?"

"That's nothing. Mortal wealth isn't too valuable to masters in this realm. The opportunity to enter Prohibition Island, now that's worth something."

"The opportunity to enter Prohibition Island is indeed precious, but there are quotas within the four clans. Given who they are, Algot and Baxter should have had a good chance of winning."

"Indeed, they could have fought for

this opportunity. After all, Kelsey, Mullen, and Halston, who were weaker than them, did it. However, what you don't know is that Algot and Baxter have already been to Prohibition Island. According to the general rules, it's almost impossible to be selected a second time. Monash was promising them a reentry, so it must have been tempting."

"Is Prohibition Island really so magical? They went there once, but they still want to go there again!"

"I don't know. After all, I haven't been there. However, given how many masters are clamoring to enter, it must be something special."

Through the chatter, Fade's face darkened as he realized something.

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Why did Monash try to kill me, and how did he get those treasures?"

Again, the crowd chimed in.

"That's right. When did Monash become so rich?"

"Although the Guo family that

1

Monash belongs to is strong, they're only just a family after all. Their overall strength is much weaker than the four Heaven Level clans. How did the Guo family obtain a spot that even the major clans couldn't?"

"If such a place really exists, why wouldn't the Guo family save it for themselves? Why waste it on Algot and Baxter? Monash might be a genius but the rest of the Guo family isn't all that outstanding. Cultivating another genius is a better way to increase the strength of the family."

"Who knows? He's dead, so you won't be able to get any answers from him."
