Chapter 1922: Chapter 1920: No One Dares to Make a Move

With Quentin Taylor’s words, everyone reflected seriously on Peter Brown’s situation, and one by one, their expressions changed. If it was indeed Peter’s doing, then making an enemy of such a Strong Person like Peter was an unwise act.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Quentin Taylor added, "Don’t think we’re so powerful here. Everyone knows their own strengths and weaknesses. Far stronger powers than us exist out there, and now the whole situation is changing. A slight misstep, and our Heavenly Domain Gate could be erased. Holy energy is forming, which was previously overlooked, but as the holy energy emerges, this world will undergo a significant change. During this great upheaval, we must proceed with caution in everything we do."

"Deputy Sect Master, are we just going to let this go?" someone asked.

Looking at the person who posed the question, Quentin Taylor said, "Clearly, this is Peter Brown’s doing!"

Everyone nodded vigorously, the evidence was quite clear, similar to Peter’s Energy Bombs. If anyone could refine even more powerful Energy Bombs, it would only be Peter Brown.

An elder said, "Actually, the situation here is the same as when our Sub-rudder was destroyed. It should be certain that it was Peter Brown’s doing!"

"Now that we’ve confirmed it was Peter Brown’s doing, what I want to know is, do any of you have the confidence to take him down?"

"If it were a head-on fight, a Seventeen Star Level person like him wouldn’t stand a chance against us," declared a Sixty Star Level middle-aged man proudly.

"Would he engage in open combat?"

That question left everyone silent. Since Peter Brown dared to break the rules and come here to kill, he was someone who disregarded the rules. If they wanted him to fight upfront, chances are he would have already fled.

Seeing no one speaking, Quentin Taylor sighed and said, "We dare not take this risk, up to this point we still don’t even know if there is a master behind Peter Brown. Think about it. What emboldens Peter Brown, a mere Seventeen Star Level, to oppose our Heavenly Domain Gate?"

Everyone was startled again, having never seriously considered this possibility.

"Deputy Sect Master, do you mean there might be support from a larger Sect behind him?"

"I’m not sure, it’s just a speculation. Regardless, if Peter Brown can truly conceal himself, we can’t trap him. We don’t even know if he has other methods at his disposal. Should he escape and begin his revenge, it would be a disaster for our Heavenly Domain Gate. Besides, aside from facing Peter Brown, have you considered what the attitude of the other Sects would be if they see us in a weak position?"

Everyone took a sharp intake of breath, terrified by Quentin Taylor’s analysis. If this was indeed the case, opposing Peter Brown was truly foolhardy.

Pointing to the area he had destroyed, Quentin Taylor lamented, "Actually, Peter Brown has given us a way out. He hasn’t claimed he’s the killer, yet the scene he left is unmistakably his doing. Do you think he’s a simple character? Hmph, he’s telling us that he did it, and how we deal with the matter is our own choice. If we become his enemy, he will ambush our people in the same manner!"

Everyone truly began to fear Peter Brown now, finding him more and more inscrutable.

"Let’s go. We’ll also pretend to be ignorant of the situation, not acknowledging that it was Peter who killed those men. We can see how things develop before deciding."

Thus, the people of the Heavenly Domain Gate quietly left, issuing a Bounty for the killer, asking for everyone’s help in the manhunt.

What was originally a clear-cut case, with the Heavenly Domain Faction’s notice of pursuing the murderer, caused an uproar among the Sects. No one expected the Heavenly Domain Gate to turn a blind eye to the truth, not targeting Peter Brown directly.

When people turned their attention back to Peter Brown, they discovered that he hadn’t emerged to say a word, reportedly already in closed-door cultivation.

What exactly was going on?

One by one, representatives from various Sects visited the scene of Charlie Evans and their deaths, yet no one could make sense of the evidence.

The Heavenly Domain Gate didn’t dare provoke Peter Brown!

The Beast Sect, which had been watching the situation and reveling in it, suddenly fell silent.

The newly arrived Deputy Sect Master of the Beast Sect, Carter Greenhill, a Ninety-nine Star Rank person, had thought Peter Brown was no match for the Heavenly Domain Gate and was doomed. However, upon witnessing the Heavenly Domain Gate’s stance, he realized he had underestimated Peter Brown.

The members of the Beast Sect sat quietly in a room, all of them proficient experts. Carter Greenhill turned to Bennett Morris and asked, "Tell us about Peter Brown’s situation."

Bennett Morris chuckled bitterly, "To tell the truth, each time I face Peter Brown, I think I’ve figured him out, yet his actions always leave me utterly baffled."

His words were as good as saying nothing, leaving everyone with a complex look in their eyes.

An 80-Star Ranked elder said, "Deputy Sect Master, the Heavenly Domain Gate is backing down now, which can only mean one thing—Peter Brown is strong, so strong that they may not dare to fight him!"

Another 80-Star Ranked elder shook his head, "I have another guess, Peter Brown has only a Seventeen Star Level cultivation. Rumor has it he wasn’t very strong in the beginning, and then he suddenly came out of nowhere. What gives him the confidence to oppose a Sect like this?"

Indeed, what gave him that confidence?

Everyone pondered this deeply.

The elder said, "Perhaps everyone has forgotten that in the Purple River Star Region, there exist even more powerful Sects we dare not provoke!"

Ah!

Everyone looked at him in shock.

The elder continued, "Have you considered that place still has techniques for refining artifacts, with methods more advanced than ours? I’ve studied the magic treasures used by Peter Brown, and they seem to incorporate some techniques from that world."

The room fell into silence for a moment. When thinking about those powerful Sects, everyone felt a bit tense.

"Could it be that those Sects are coming here?"

"I don’t know if they will come, but one thing is for sure—this place is a land where holy energy forms, a battleground of contention, where holy fate exists!"

"That’s a possibility!" Carter Greenhill nodded earnestly, harboring a similar suspicion. Peter Brown might truly have the backing of a Major Power. Given this, they must be cautious in dealing with Peter Brown.
