Chapter 1918: Chapter 1916: For the Reputation of the Sect

Quentin Taylor found himself in a no-win situation. As the Deputy Sect Master of the Heavenly Domain Faction and the presiding figure here, not to mention a master of the Ninety-nine Star Rank, he had no choice but to deal with Peter Brown’s provocation.

With the continuous investigation into the intelligence about Peter Brown, Quentin Taylor’s brow furrowed increasingly. Peter appeared to be not so simple a character; had he not revealed his own identity, no one would have known he was hidden among the princes. Only after the revelation did people discover that Peter might indeed possess numerous methods.

"Shouldn’t all sects have dispatched masters to enter the Prolific Star Palace?" Quentin Taylor asked just that.

"Deputy Sect Master, are you suggesting that the assassination of Prince Samuel and others from the Purpolia Kingdom could have been done by Peter Brown?" an elder of the 86-Star Rank asked.

"Hmph, I believe it was his doing. Just think, several individuals of the 50-Star Rank were all eliminated by him!"

"How could that be possible? What makes him capable of killing those of the 50 Star Rank? According to what we know, it is likely that Prince Samuel led an ambush against Peter."

"Prince Samuel and his men probably never expected to be counter-killed by Peter!"

With the analysis reaching this point, everyone understood in their hearts that Peter Brown might indeed be the one who killed Prince Samuel and the others.

"Could it be true that he poses a threat even to those of the Hundred-Star Level?" The elder’s face was grave, realizing for the first time that he had underestimated Peter.

Another old man of the 80-Star Rank sighed, "Regardless of his situation, our Heavenly Domain Gate cannot afford not to fight!"

Indeed, everyone thought the same; how could there be someone in the Heavenly Domain Gate who was afraid to fight? No matter how powerful the opponent, if the Heavenly Domain Gate did not fight, it would be a laughing stock.

Quentin Taylor nodded slightly, "A fight is inevitable, but we must take Peter Brown seriously. He’s not a simple character. I believe that the few at the Fifty stars who died in the Prolific Star Palace were likely ambushed by Peter. In an outright battle, Peter Brown stands no chance at all. Therefore, our course of action should be to confront him directly, not giving him the opportunity to strike unnoticed."

"Right, Deputy Sect Master, your thorough consideration shines through. We can leverage pressure from all sects to force Peter Brown to face us directly."

"Our Heavenly Domain Gate has suffered a great loss. Naturally, we must settle the score with Peter Brown. Send a notice to the Beast Sect asking them to be observers. We will handle it according to the rules of the sects and challenge Peter Brown!"

Quentin Taylor chuckled wryly as he said this. Although it followed the rules of sect battle, using a major sect to challenge a prince was indeed somewhat absurd.

After hearing this, everyone was speechless. An old man said, "Deputy Sect Master, such a move would still impact our faction’s reputation. I am willing to fight him first; even if I die, I want to ascertain his true combat power."

Glancing at the 84-Star Ranked elder named Charlie Evans, Quentin Taylor considered it and then said, "That’s fine. If we initiate the challenge, it seems like we are too weak. Old Liu, lead three of the 60-Star Rank people and attack the Prince’s Mansion to see if you can eliminate Peter Brown."

"Don’t worry, Deputy Sect Master, we won’t give him a chance. It will be a head-on battle."

The high-ranking 84-Star expert, Charlie Evans, signaled to two of the 69 Star Rank individuals to follow, and they all made their way quickly toward King’s City.

Watching them leave, the Deputy Sect Master said to another elder of the 86-Star Rank, "Follow them and see what happens. However, do not intervene under any circumstances; just find out what’s going on."

After assigning his people, Quentin Taylor stood there silently for a long time. He hadn’t expected that such a peculiar individual as Peter Brown would exist in the Purpolia Kingdom.

At this point, people from various sects were covertly observing the attitude of the Heavenly Domain Gate. Peter’s sudden disclosure of his identity had also caused a stir among everyone; they were all a bit stupefied, wondering what exactly Peter was trying to do.

Of course, everyone was savvy, and it didn’t take long to understand Peter Brown’s cunning. The more they learned of Peter’s capabilities, the more worried they became, completely unable to grasp the extent of his cultivation.

In fact, both the Skyreach Sect and the Beast Sect were resentful toward Peter Brown. Now that it was clear that Prince Samuel and the others had died, it was apparent that those sent by the sects to aid the princes had also been eliminated by Peter. By revealing his identity now, he was making it known that he would take on the sects head-on!

Once the masters of the Skyreach Sect had analyzed the situation, everyone was furious. If Peter hadn’t killed Prince Samuel and others, the situation in the Purpolia Kingdom would not be what it was now. He openly challenged the Skyreach Sect.

However, upon calming down, everyone had to acknowledge Peter Brown’s skill. The fact that he could silently take down several of the 50-Star Rank was clear evidence of his capabilities.

"Let’s let the people from the Heavenly Domain Gate test the waters first!" decided people from all sects. There was no need to rush forward; after all, in terms of losses, the Heavenly Domain Gate suffered the most. They could not afford not to rush into battle.

When it became known that the Heavenly Domain Faction had dispatched their experts to break into the Prince’s Mansion, everyone also sent out their own people. Now, everyone was eager to see just what kind of tactics Peter Brown possessed.

While everyone was on the lookout, Peter Brown came out of closed cultivation.

Seeing the worried looks on the faces of his subordinates, Peter Brown knew exactly what they were concerned about. He laughed gently, "Relax a bit, there’s nothing we can’t handle."

"Your Highness, ever since your identity was revealed, we’ve been facing internal and external troubles," said Sam Collins with a bitter smile. Now tied to Peter Brown, the Harrison family wouldn’t fare well if Peter were to fall, so pretending not to be nervous would be false.

"What’s the stance of the sects?"

"We were just about to report to Your Highness. It is said that the Heavenly Domain Faction has already dispatched several 60-Star Rank experts to come here. They have just one goal: a direct confrontation with Your Highness. The challenge letter for a direct battle with Your Highness was sent out almost as soon as they left; we just received it."

"A direct battle?"

Jett Johnson explained, "Your Highness, this is a rule among the Divine Realm’s sects. Once a challenge letter is issued, both parties must engage in face-to-face combat; otherwise, it would provoke public outrage."

Peter Brown laughed, "So now, I’m the public enemy of the sects!"

Everyone was taken aback at the realization, but after a moment, they understood it was indeed the case.
