Chapter 401 Dealing With Phoebe FirstChapter 401 Dealing with Phoebe First
Benjamin and Finn, two young powerhouses at the Core Formation Realm, were facing off, with a
palpable air of hostility. It seemed like a life-or-death struggle could break out at any moment.
However, at this critical juncture, a figure in black emerged, standing between the two.
Surprisingly, it was Nathaniel, the scion of the Black Moon Cult.
"Why harbor such deep-seated grudges? Is it necessary to fight to the death?" Nathaniel looked at
both of them, wearing a smile, and advised.
Upon hearing this, Benjamin and Finn both turned their gaze towards him, their eyes carrying a hint
of hostility.
"Where did this trash come from, and what qualifies you to speak?" Benjamin sneered.
Finn, with a cruel and mocking expression, added, "Is this a trial score delivered to us? Fool, let's
see who kills him first; his bag of trinkets will belong to the victor!"
As the words fell, Finn directly attacked Nathaniel. Despite his seemingly slender figure, he
emanated a powerful and fierce aura.
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes, infused energy into his fists, and thrust a claw towards Finn's
incoming attack.
Boom!
After a muffled sound, both Finn and Nathaniel stepped back.
Finn wore a surprised expression on his face, "Huh? You're also a Core Formation powerhouse?"Benjamin, also with a trace of doubt, stared at the sudden appearance of the figure in black.
"Yes! Otherwise, how would I dare to meddle between you two? Am I right?" Nathaniel introduced
himself, smiling.
Benjamin snorted, "It seems you concealed your strength in the previous tests."
Nathaniel chuckled but remained noncommittal. Finn, with a flicker in his eyes, spoke in a deep
voice, "Mr. Elliott, our Wynter family has always been in opposition to the Golden Blade Sect. You
better not interfere; otherwise, it won't be good for you."
Nathaniel shook his head, "Mr. Wynter, words shouldn't be put that way. We participate in this
personal trial not for personal disputes but to gain substantial benefits!"
"Humph, after I defeat him, naturally, no one will compete with me for the rewards!" Benjamin
declared coldly.
Nathaniel shook his head again, "Mr. Aguirre, if it weren't for the involvement of the scion from the
Hudpids Sect today, the three of us at the initial Core Formation stage might indeed have fought to
the death, becoming each other's fiercest competitors."
"And now, the beautiful young master of Hudpids Sect has also joined this trial! Her strength is at
the mid-Core Formation level. I think we need to work together if we want to compete with Phoebe,
instead of fighting each other first."
Upon hearing this, Finn made a sound of agreement and said dismissively, "It's not necessary!
Phoebe is already guaranteed to be the number one in Hudpids Sect. I just need to fight for second
place."
"So my biggest opponent is still Benjamin! And now there's one more," he added.Benjamin nodded in agreement while Nathaniel spoke seriously, "Mr. Wynter and Mr. Aguirre, who
says that Phoebe must be the first? Even if we don't fight for the top prize in this personal trial,
shouldn't we still compete for another great opportunity?"
"What opportunity?" asked Benjamin with a glint in his eyes.
Finn also looked at Nathaniel with a puzzled expression.
Nathaniel smiled and said, "As far as I know, there will be an extremely rare divine medicine that will
mature today within Sacred Medicine Valley. If anyone can absorb it successfully, their strength will
definitely skyrocket."
"Based on all the signs that I have sensed before this divine medicine matures, whoever obtains it
may directly leap into Golden Core Realm - it's not impossible!"
"Wouldn't you two want to compete for it?" he asked them both.
Hearing this news caused Benjamin and Finn's expressions to change constantly as they
considered what Nathaniel had just told them both.
"Is what you're saying true?" they asked him incredulously.
"If so," continued Benjamin hesitantly after considering everything carefully out loud, "why would
you tell us about it?"
Nathaniel replied calmly, "Originally I wasn't going to tell anyone about it but Miss Bishop from
Hudpids Sect has come here too!"
"I suspect that Hudpids Sect knows about the divine medicine too which is why they sent her here
last minute.""So now without your help Mr. Wynter and Mr. Aguirre, I won't stand a chance against Phoebe
alone."
"We three should unite our forces first and then defeat or even injure Phoebe before competing
fairly among ourselves for possession of Divine Medicine."
As the words fell, the expressions on Finn and Benjamin's faces kept changing, seemingly
hesitating and contemplating something.
"Join forces to injure Phoebe? Wouldn't that offend the Hudpids Sect?" Benjamin expressed
concerns.
"Mr. Aguirre, this is a trial, and combat is allowed! The people from Hudpids Sect haven't explicitly
forbidden us from making a move against Phoebe! Since she has also joined, she should face
danger just like everyone else. The people from Hudpids Sect should understand this. As long as
we don't kill Phoebe, the Hudpids Sect won't have much to say. After all, this competition is not
solely governed by Hudpids Sect; there are other hidden forces here overseeing justice. Faced with
such a great opportunity, who wouldn't want to seize it? It's a matter of individual capability!"
Nathaniel explained.
Upon hearing this, Benjamin and Finn both nodded silently, and their gazes became increasingly
fervent and anticipatory.
Indeed, no one stipulated that Phoebe could not be targeted! Both the Golden Blade Sect and the
Wynter family stood behind one of the five major hidden forces.
As long as they didn't go too far and killed Phoebe, the Hudpids Sect wouldn't have much ground to
object!
"Good!""We three will join forces from now on!"
"First deal with Phoebe, and then each of us will rely on our own abilities to see who can obtain the
divine medicine."

Edoland, within Mason's Gold Coast Club.
Miranda sat there with a worried expression.
"Sis, is there still no contact with Emerson?" Mason, seeing his sister's expression, nervously
asked.
From last night until now, aside from dealing and delaying with the people from the NC
Organization, he had been thinking of various ways.
As far as he knew, Emerson had also reached the Grandmaster Realm. Mason held a glimmer of
hope, hoping to seek Emerson's help.
"I've reached him, but Emerson just took on a mission. He's currently in Southeast Gorge and won't
be back for a day or two!" Miranda frowned.
"Lachie Fire" Security Group had been established for a few days now, and Emerson, along with
Noah and others, had finally received a protection task a couple of days ago. They departed
immediately, making it impossible for them to return in a short time.
noveldramaUpon hearing this, Mason couldn't help but sigh.
"Then forget it; let's wait for my brother-in-law. Sis, try calling him again, see if you can get through!"
"If you can get through, wouldn't you have reached him yourself?" Miranda smiled bitterly.Upon hearing this, Mason wore a face of desperation. Throughout the morning, he didn't know how
many times he had tried calling Lachlan, but there was still no signal.
Just at this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Mason's expression turned
extremely unpleasant.
It was someone from the NC Organization!
Without a doubt, they were coming to press him again.
Mason didn't know how much longer he could hold out.
