Chapter 334 Denise Tubble & Ajin Pardo
Paige glanced at her and nonchalantly said, "If he loses, it will only grow the influence of Blood Slaughterer Peak in our faction, making them even more bold and overbearing. What benefit this would bring to us?"
Aily froze for a moment, before she resentfully said, "It's not like they're depending on him... he's only a 4th-level Core Formation expert, and it's probably there just to make up the numbers."
"6th level... he is at 6th level of Core Formation stage, you only told me what makes him less capable of Sith Wiggins. Not even Sith killed three 1000 feet duct beasts and with that he broke through 4 levels at once." Paige corrected as she looked at Aily with a side-eye.
Aily flinched. "H-he did it all with the help of senior sister Ella Abella." She rebuked.
Paige shook her head. "Then she should be the one with three 1000 feet duct beast crystals, As far as I know her, she is as cold as a glacier and wouldn't look at any man. What made her donate something that could instantly level up her martial prowess to Ezra?"
Aily turned red, she couldn't find any answer so she yelled. "Stop it, senior sister! That bastard has cheated, I will prove it."
Paige sighed and ignored her. She looked at Aily as her little sister and always took care of her since she was young. Unlike other disciples, Aily was the granddaughter of Elder Song and was born in the sect's territory.
While the two of them were conversing, a disturbance was suddenly felt in the mountain as countless gazes filled with interest cast towards a certain direction.
A group of figures was slowly walking over. At the front was Elder Lo, while Mubarak, James Endoro, Ezra Zephyr and the rest followed behind.
Their numbers were quite impressive. It was clear that all of the disciples under Elder Lo had come this time to at least bolster their presence.
When Elder Lo arrived, he was immediately stunned for a moment by the black sprawling mass of figures in front of the mountain. He too had not expected the quarter-match to draw such a crowd.
He frowned but did not say anything as he continued to walk forward. As he moved, he saw Paige. How could he not recognise her, the inner mountain disciples of Alchemic Rune Peak were not many, to begin with. With a nod to Paige, Elder Lo entered another stone pavilion at the edge of a cliff.
The prince stood inside the pavilion, feeling the countless unfamiliar gazes that were tinged with amusement. This told him that these disciples from the other peaks were likely here for him.
Fenrir joked from the inside, "How lively, looks like you're going to become famous."
Ezfa chuckled viciously. "They were more likely here to watch me make a fool of myself."
However, he was not angered by their presence, his eyes were calm and serene. Regardless of why they had come, there were only two goals he had today. To win the diamond quarter and to beat the living shit out of every Blood Slaughterer Peak disciple who has invaded the Alchemic Rune Peak's resources.
Not long after Elder Lo's group arrived, a clamour was heard as another wave of figures aggressively surged into the area, their astonishing presence drawing the attention of everyone present.
The one leading them was naturally Elder Song. However, the prince saw a familiar figure at Elder Song's side.
Dressed in black that outlined a set of enchanting curves, her legs were long and slender, her waist supple and slim, while her eyes gave off a haughty and cold aura.
It was Denise Tubble, the sister of unfortunate Drake Tubble.
The moment she appeared, her cold and haughty eyes immediately locked onto Ezra Zephyr as a smirk appeared on her pretty face. At the same time, hatred and killing intent also began radiating from her eyes.
"Ezra Zephyr... my brother's death and humiliation will be paid by your life. The status you are enjoying now belongs to my brother. Today I have come to personally witness how you will be thoroughly mutilated!"

The moment Elder Song's group appeared, every gaze in the area could not help but converge towards them. One had to admit that when compared to the other faction of Alchemic Rune Peak, the former surpassed the other in presence.
However, the other group could not be blamed for being too weak, because it was the history of Imprint's faction that was too strong. What's more, they had taken in quite a number of talented disciples over the years, making it basically impossible for the alchemy faction to match the imprint faction in terms of disciples.
Elder Song stood with his hand behind his back at the very front, his expression indifferent. When he arrived, he merely cast a glance at Elder Lo, before stepping into the last stone pavilion. Seeing this, Aily nodded at Paige and jumped from where she was as she joined her grandfather's side.
The disciple under him crowded around the pavilion, a rather imposing sight. Only 4 figures had been allowed to follow Elder Song into the pavilion. One was naturally his 1st disciple, Lopap, 2nd was Aily while 3rd was Denise Tubble.
Although she was not Elder Song's disciple, she was from Blood Slaughterer Peak.
Beside Denise was a tall figure with excellent posture. A faint smile hung from the lips of the youth who had a head full of red hair. His eyes were imposing and gave off an invasive feeling, evidence that he was clearly no kind spirit.
He was called Ajin Pardo and was also not Elder Song's disciple but from the same teacher as Denise. His father was an outer mountains elder in the Spirit Devouring Mountain who was quite famous in Blood Slaughterer Peak, while he himself was a diamond belt disciple.
Ajin's gaze swept across Ezra at this moment and asked with a grin, "Denise, is that the one who killed your brother in the peak selection ceremony?"
Denise faintly nodded in response, still somewhat indignant as she said, "He was so cunning, managing to catch Drake off-guard and clinch victory by some stroke of luck."
Ajin chuckled, completely unconcerned about Ezra as he said, "It doesn't matter. He will become a figure to pity before the day is over. I have instructed Kimba, with him around, only death awaits that swindler."
