Chapter 919: Hidden Threats

"If you don’t want to be singled out and attacked, it’s best to keep a low profile initially. This can raise your chances of surviving until the end."

Elder Wang would never say these things aloud, but Renshu Chang, although confident in their skills, was still concerned they’d act recklessly. His own chance of entering the Path of All Immortals was slim, but he hoped Amalia and Kenny Lin would make it.

"Ruma Yang, is that the Green Lotus Sect disciple the one who stole our Eight Gods Blades technique?" Seonho Ming asked coldly, glaring at Amalia.

Ruma Yang glared at Amalia with hatred. "Yes, that’s her."

His cultivation level wasn’t high enough to qualify for the Path of All Immortals, nor would he have a chance to come to Ten Thousand Floating Island. But he was brought along specifically to identify Amalia.

"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator gave you that much trouble?" Seonho Ming sneered, noting Ruma Yang’s embarrassment. Then, with a smirk, he added, "Ah, I forgot. At that time, you were only at the Golden Core stage, just barely breaking into the Nascent Soul stage."

Ruma Yang gritted his teeth. "Her cultivation level has been advancing very quickly. Don’t underestimate her, senior brothers. When I saw her in the Double Cavern Secret Realm, she was only in the Golden Core stage."

"So what if she’s talented? Comparing a Nascent Soul cultivator to us true elites is laughable," Jiheon Yang grumbled.

"A rapid climb in cultivation often means a shaky foundation," Temujin Lei said with cold disappointment. "I thought she’d be a worthy opponent. Instead, it turns out she sacrificed stability for quick progress. Such people can never truly rival us at the same stage."

Temujin Lei was more than disappointed; after seeing Amalia’s cultivation level, he no longer viewed her as a worthy opponent.

"Someone like that isn’t fit to be my rival," he muttered.

"But we still need to reclaim the Eight Gods Blades," he continued. Ever since the word got out, all of the Eternal One Sect knew that their treasured Eight Gods Blades had fallen into the hands of a disciple from the Green Lotus Sect.

The Eternal One Sect had initially tried to keep this a secret, but now there was no hiding it.

"A mere peak Nascent Soul stage... If she doesn’t hand over the Eight Gods Blades, I have ways to make her talk," Jiheon Yang sneered.

"But we need to be careful," Temujin Lei said, glancing toward Jirandai Tang and Taeyeon Lei from the Green Lotus Sect, who were known for their strength. "We can’t make it obvious we’re going against them. We’ll have to act in the shadows."

"True, if we kill Amalia, the Green Lotus Sect will suspect us, and that could lead to open conflict," Jiheon Yang replied with a shrug.

"It’s different if they lack proof. Even if they suspect us, they wouldn’t openly retaliate without evidence," Seonho Ming said confidently.

Ruma Yang, however, looked uneasy. He’d once fought Amalia back when she was only at the Golden Core stage. At that time, she could even beat Al’Gath and had been forced him to flee. But now, her cultivation was at peak Nascent Soul, and Ruma Yang felt an uneasy premonition.

"Why the worried look?" Jiheon Yang noticed Ruma Yang’s expression, frowning.

At Jiheon Yang’s words, everyone turned their attention to Ruma Yang.

Ruma Yang forced a nervous smile, wiping away cold sweat. "Oh, it’s nothing. Just a bit tense."

"You don’t think we’d lose, do you?" Seonho Ming shot him a sharp look.

"Of course not! You’re all top talents at the peak of your realms. How could you lose to a mere peak Nascent Soul?" Ruma Yang hurriedly denied.

As a disciple of the Eternal One Sect, Ruma Yang knew how proud and overconfident his senior brothers were; he himself had once been like that. But his experience in the Double Cavern Secret Realm had humbled him and made him see himself more clearly.

Just because he had come to terms with his limitations didn’t mean his brothers had done the same. Against opponents at their level, they rarely doubted themselves. And to them, facing a Nascent Soul was hardly worth consideration.

Honestly, if Amalia remained at peak Nascent Soul, Ruma Yang would believe his brothers would easily overpower her. But would things stay the same once she began to close the gap between them?

"Senior Brother, we need to take care of her before she grows stronger. We shouldn’t wait for her to break through," Ruma Yang said, fearing Amalia yet also wanting to defeat her. The only way to kill her was to strike before she became too powerful.

"We don’t need you to tell us that," Jiheon Yang replied, annoyed.

Ruma Yang opened his mouth to say more but ultimately stayed silent. Strength—once again, it was all about strength. If he had more power, they wouldn’t look down on him.

Ruma Yang felt a deep urge to grow stronger, but he wasn’t one of those top talents. No matter how gifted, he could only advance step by step.

The others noticed Ruma Yang’s restless energy and gave him a glance. Was this guy really still scared after his last failure in the Double Cavern Secret Realm? Maybe they shouldn’t have brought him. They might have been better off with another junior who’d seen Amalia before.

"Is that the person you like?" asked Jiae Yao, a female disciple from the Divine Maiden Sect, resting her chin on Kailash Ren’s shoulder and whispering warmly into her ear.

Kailash Ren’s ears turned red as she glanced at Jiae Yao’s face. "Senior Sister Yao, stop it! I don’t have anyone I like," she replied shyly.

Jiae Yao was the only female disciple in the Divine Maiden Sect who looked more like a man than a woman. Her features were neither soft nor delicate, and she even had a small bump on her throat. She often wore men’s clothing, leading those people who are unfamiliar with her to mistake her for a man.
