Deities: Starting From Goblins
Chapter 1296 - Chapter 1296 Chapter 712 Osmanthus Tree

Chapter 1296: Chapter 712: Osmanthus Tree Chapter 1296: Chapter 712: Osmanthus Tree “Why… why do you say we’re going to be in trouble?” a disciple asked with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with fear.

“Because I have seen the dangers of the future,” Elder Talon Skyler spoke slowly, his voice deep and forceful. “I have seen several powerful forces closing in, targeting us. Moreover, I’ve also seen… seen the aura of death, which is quietly approaching.”

His words exploded like a bomb in the hearts of the crowd. They looked at each other, their eyes flickering with panic and unease.

“No… it’s impossible!” one disciple shook his head. “Logan has promised to keep us safe, how could he let something happen to us?”

Mentioning Logan sparked a glimmer of hope in their eyes. They knew that Logan was an outstanding figure within the Sect, strong and always true to his word. If he had promised to keep them safe, then they surely would be.

However, Elder Talon Skyler scoffed again, his words striking them like a slap across the face.

“Don’t even hope that Logan can save you,” Elder Talon Skyler said coldly. “You know Logan’s nature; he is unwavering. But have you considered? He can save you, but he can also destroy you! If something unpredictable happens in the future, do you think he will protect you as he does now?”

Elder Talon Skyler’s words were like icicles in the cold wind, stabbing straight into their hearts. Anger rose in them, and their trust in Logan began to waver.

“No! We must go and ask Logan for clarification!” a disciple roared, turning to leave, but Elder Talon Skyler stopped him.

“Stop!” Elder Talon Skyler said sternly, “What use is there in finding Logan now? What answers can he give you? What you should do is trust in your own strength and prepare to face all the difficulties of the future!”

His words rang like a warning bell, instantly awakening the crowd. They all halted and began to ponder. They knew that no matter what difficulties they might face in the future, only by relying on their own strength could they truly protect themselves.

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight faint, a towering pavilion stood in the midst of the night, like the last bastion in this realm. At the staircase of the pavilion, several figures had just stepped onto the steps but were suddenly repelled by an invisible force, as if pushed away by an unseen giant hand. They staggered but managed to steady themselves, and from where they looked, they could see layers upon layers of Barriers shimmering with a pale blue light, like a vast net, firmly blocking them out.

“What’s going on?” a Sect Disciple roared, his face full of rage and reluctance. “Logan has set up a Barrier, keeping us locked out!”

At that moment, Sheron Perri emerged from the crowd, his expression grave, eyes revealing a trace of unease. He was well aware that these Sect members came in fury, obviously prepared.

“Everyone, calm down!” Sheron Perri tried to soothe the crowd. “Let’s first understand the situation, then find a solution.”

However, his persuasion had little effect. The Sect Disciples remained fiercely upset, loudly demanding to see Logan.

“We want to see Logan! Let him come out and meet us!” a disciple yelled, his voice echoing in the night air. “We’ll wait for him right here, and if he doesn’t show up, don’t blame us for being rude!”

“That’s right!” another disciple concurred. “Didn’t he promise to take us to the Critical point? How could something go wrong on this journey? It must be related to him!”

Sheron Perri frowned, full of doubt. He had indeed heard that Logan promised to guide these Sect members to the Critical point, but how could suddenly something go wrong? Moreover, why would Logan suddenly set up a Barrier, keeping them out?

Just then, Elder Talon Skyler slowly emerged from the shadows of the pavilion. His steps were steady, his gaze profound as if he could see into one’s soul. Seeing him, Sheron Perri suddenly understood a bit more. The old man must have used his mysterious method of prophecy to foresee some ominous event.

“Elder Talon Skyler, what is this about…” Sheron Perri began, his tone holding a hint of reverence.

Elder Talon Skyler sighed softly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, finally resting on Sheron Perri’s face. “Sheron Perri, you are unaware. I’ve just used the method of prophecy and glimpsed the dangers of this journey. I fear there is more peril than safety.”

His words, akin to a heavy bomb, exploded once again in the hearts of the crowd. The Sect Disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled with panic and unrest.

“How can this be?” a disciple asked, his voice trembling, “Haven’t we made all the necessary preparations?”

Elder Talon Skyler shook his head, his eyes filled with helplessness. “Who can be certain of the future? But now that we’ve foreseen the danger, we must not take it lightly. Perhaps Logan set up the Barrier to protect us.”

Hearing this, Sheron Perri’s mind cleared. He understood Logan’s intentions as well as Elder Talon Skyler’s concerns. Taking a deep breath, he turned and loudly addressed the Sect Disciples: “Listen up, everyone! Since we have foreseen the danger, we mustn’t act recklessly. We need to trust Logan, believe that he can lead us through this crisis!”
