Chapter 997: Chapter 997: The Situation Got Out of Hand

Although there weren’t many people left, Peter Brown slipped away without attracting anyone’s attention.

Utilizing the Teleportation Talisman again, Peter left the scene and returned to the inn.

When he was near the inn, Peter found a secluded spot to disguise himself, appearing as someone who had just escaped a dangerous situation.

Seeing Peter rushing into the inn, the shopkeeper and waiter came up to him, asking, "What happened to you, fellow Daoist?"

"So scary!"

Peter pretended to be panic-stricken.

"Did something go wrong with the Crossing Tribulation?" the shopkeeper inquired curiously.

"It was awful!" Peter sighed after taking a big gulp of tea. "I never thought Crossing Tribulation could be so dangerous!"

At that moment, more people fled into the inn, looking panicked just like Peter, sitting there and drinking water non-stop.

The shopkeeper was now alarmed, thinking that something terrible had indeed happened.

Peter took the initiative to start describing the event.

The guests occasionally chimed in to supplement the story.

After finishing, Peter said, "Luckily, I didn’t attack, or else I wouldn’t have been able to return today!"

"Exactly. Those who attacked in panic were all treated as enemies by the Heavenly Disaster. Many people were caught up in it, especially the Mahayana stage individuals. Once they joined, the power of the Heavenly Disaster was magnified, and basically, no one could survive," someone else chimed in.

"Are you saying that the Mahayana stage masters were all killed?" The shopkeeper looked at Peter and the others in shock.

"Yes, I saw them being killed by the Heavenly Disaster."

"However, I noticed that people from Sun Valley were deliberately attacking the Tribulation Association disciple with Tribulation Crossing Period cultivation. If it wasn’t for that, the disciple might not have died so easily." Someone more observant had noticed the situation of Sun Valley attacking the Tribulation Association personnel.

"Sun Valley dared to do that?" The waiter was a bit dazed.

Everyone immediately began discussing the incident.

At this point, Peter was silent and just listened to everyone’s recounting.

As time passed, more and more people returned. Everyone discussed the incident, with the most casualties being from Sun Valley, amounting to more than a hundred people. Additionally, there were others who were inadvertently drawn into the disaster.

"The Tribulation Association announces that all who participated in today’s Tribulation Crossing observation must gather in the plaza. Those who fail to do so will face the consequences!"

A voice emanated from the center of the plaza, and every cultivator could hear it.

"Let’s go. Hurry up and head over there. If we don’t and are seen as troublemakers, we’ll be in big trouble!" Everyone was aware of the Tribulation Association’s power, so they quickly headed towards the plaza.

Peter circulated his Dao affinity energy, retracting his aura. With a thought, he swallowed objects like his ring, wrapping them up in Dao affinity energy inside his stomach. He wore an ordinary ring on his hand, containing a small number of Lingcao plants, materials, and Spirit Stones, before following everyone to the plaza.

Given the magnitude of the incident, Peter believed that the Tribulation Association would be suspicious.

Before coming here, Peter had intended to absorb Immortal power secretly. But today, he had almost depleted his Immortal power, so he had no intention of continuing to absorb it.

When Peter arrived, he noticed that there were many people who had gathered, showing that everyone was truly afraid of the Tribulation Association’s power.

Everyone was seated in the massive plaza, and Peter also went over and sat down.

Peter knew that he had to come since his attendance at the observation was surely recorded.

Of course, now that Peter had a large amount of Immortal power, he didn’t worry about danger. If worse comes to worst, he could just forcefully break out.

After sitting for a while, several Mahayana stage experts appeared.

Hearing the private discussions from the crowd, Peter knew that these were the top masters of the Tribulation Association, most likely summoned from other places after hearing about the incident.

Their powerful Divine Sense swept over everyone, and apart from these Mahayana stage experts, there were also numerous Tribulation Period experts surrounding the area.

The leading Mahayana master introduced himself: "My name is Kenji Langton, a Mahayana stage cultivator. I believe you all know me. I won’t waste time on idle chatter, as you all should know what happened today. An accident occurred where the defensive formation was unexpectedly destroyed. We suspect that someone sabotaged it intentionally, so we have gathered you all here to clear your names. We will inspect everyone, but rest assured, we will not touch your belongings. I, Kenji Langton, guarantee that. If you refuse to be inspected, we will treat you as an enemy!"

Although his words were polite, they also carried a strong air of authority. A commotion immediately erupted among the crowd, as many people had items they did not want others to see.

"Now, please wait at one of the five locations for the inspection."

The five Mahayana stage experts sat down at five different spots, their powerful Divine Sense scanning the crowd once again.

"I trust the Tribulation Association!" A middle-aged man, obviously connected to the Tribulation Association, stepped forward.

Then, the crowd started lining up at the five locations.

The Tribulation Association was truly powerful!

Upon witnessing this, Peter could only admire in silence. If this had happened in another place, there would have been an uproar. No one would willingly let others inspect their rings, let alone their cultivation foundation, which would expose their Cultivation Techniques.

Peter changed his Cultivation Technique to a more ordinary one and used his Dao affinity energy to wrap it up. He completely hid his Elixir Sea, only revealing the condition of a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator’s foundation. After doing this, Peter went to join the line for Kenji Langton.

As expected from a Mahayana stage expert like Kenji, he didn’t perform any actions, just scanning everyone with his Divine Sense.

Peter secretly observed that with just a sweep of the man’s Divine Sense, he could see everything about a person.

Realizing this, Peter felt that the Dao affinity energy might not be safe, so he incorporated faith energy and Kindness energy as well.

One by one, people left, receiving an Inspection Proof on their identity cards.

Soon it was Peter’s turn. He remained calm while standing in front of Kenji Langton.

Kenji’s Divine Sense swept over Peter. Knowing that he had no chance of resistance in front of a Mahayana cultivator, Peter could only stand there quietly.
