Chapter 1226: Chapter 677: The Manifestation of the True Lord Chapter 1226: Chapter 677: The Manifestation of the True Lord “Only what?”

Logan interrupted Elder Talon Skyler,

His gaze sweeping back and forth between the two,

Seemingly searching for an answer,

“Merely curious? Merely adventuring? Do you realize that once the Evil Cultivator fully awakens, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Elder Talon Skyler fell silent, unable to refute Logan’s words because the reality was indeed as he described.

Although they did not directly release the Evil Cultivator, their actions had indirectly led to everything that happened.

Logan looked at the two men before him,

His heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that these two may have had the intention to commit a crime, but not the courage to do so, the true instigator was that Qilin fellow.

But then again, they were not entirely without responsibility; at the least, they should pay a price for their curiosity.

“Are you willing to accept punishment?” Logan’s voice rose again, this time, it conveyed a softness, but retained its authority.

The man and Elder Talon Skyler exchanged glances, each discerning resolve in the other’s eyes. They knew that, regardless of the outcome, they had to take this responsibility.

“We are willing,” the two answered in unison.

Logan nodded, contemplating internally how to discipline these two in such a way that they would remember this lesson without being too harsh and damaging harmony. After all, their mistake was unintentional, and they had tried their best during the previous crisis.

“Very well, since you are willing, let it be so,” Logan finally spoke, his voice revealing a trace of weariness, “Return to your abodes, reflect in seclusion for three months; during this time, do not venture outside, nor make contact with the outside world. After three months, come to find me, and I will check whether your cultivation level and mental state have improved.”

Hearing this, the man and Elder Talon Skyler both breathed a sigh of relief. Though the punishment was not light, it was not as severe as they had feared. They looked at Logan with gratitude, then turned and departed.

Logan watched their retreating figures, silently praying in his heart that this incident would serve as a profound lesson, making them more cautious and steadfast on their future path of cultivation.

Three months was but a momentary flick for Cultivators. When the man and Elder Talon Skyler reappeared before Logan, there was a clear change in their demeanor. Their eyes held more determination, and their cultivation had improved significantly.

“Master Logan, we have come,” the man spoke first, his voice tinged with nervousness but also anticipation.

Logan looked at them and nodded slightly. “Hmm, not bad, your cultivation levels and mental states have indeed improved. It seems these three months of contemplative seclusion have been fruitful for you.”

“Thank you, Master Logan, for your teachings,” Elder Talon Skyler replied respectfully, “We are fully aware of our mistakes, and this incident has sounded a warning bell for us. In the future, we will be more cautious and not repeat the same mistakes.”

Hearing this, Logan felt inwardly pleased. He knew that this lesson had been etched deeply into their hearts. In the future, they would undoubtedly become more mature and steady, standing out in the Cultivation World.

“Now that you have recognized your faults and made amends, let us put this matter to rest,” Logan stated with a hint of warmth, “Remember, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. Only by remaining vigilant and cautious can you travel further.”

The man and Elder Talon Skyler exchanged a look, seeing determination and resolve in each other’s eyes. They knew that this experience would become a precious asset on their journey of cultivation. No matter what difficulties and challenges they faced in the future, they would always remember Logan’s lessons and forge ahead.

As time passed, Cloud Hidden Mountain Range returned to its former tranquility. Logan and the others continued their cultivation and lives, and the accidental crisis gradually became forgotten in the dust of history. However, the man, Elder Talon Skyler, and that Qilin fellow would never forget the lesson. They knew that only constant vigilance and caution would allow them to go farther and higher on the path of cultivation.

On that somewhat dull afternoon, sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, mottling the stone path of Cloud Hidden Mountain Range. Logan, the Alchemy Master known for his astuteness and capability, stood before a group of Cultivators with varying expressions. His eyes were sharp as an eagle’s, and a meaningful smile hung on his lips, as if everything was within his control.

“He never lets himself be taken advantage of; Logan will surely reclaim what’s his after this incident.” Someone among the crowd commented in a low voice, quiet yet audible to everyone present.

Hearing this, Logan’s smile deepened, he clenched his teeth and spoke deliberately, “Let me tell you the truth today, do not think just because you have escaped this calamity you can be careless. In the Cultivation World, it’s survival of the fittest. If you do not wish to live in fear in the coming days, it’s best you stay in line.”

His words were like cold ice, causing the Cultivators present to startle. They looked at each other, silently guessing Logan’s intentions. Could it be that the Master known for his leniency was going to act out of character and lay his hands on them today?
