Chapter 281 Terra Nova Sect First Elimination



Meanwhile, Orion wandered through the ruin space, feeling a sense of satisfaction and pride in his recent victory over the Blazing Sun sect disciples. He had always known that he had the talent and strength to become a great cultivator, and this latest battle had only reinforced that belief.

As he explored the ruin space, he was unaware of the events that were unfolding outside. Back in the outside world, the elders from various sects had gathered together, their masks of civility and decorum falling away as they revealed their true nature to each other.

Elder Winston, Elder Olivia, and Elder Samuel were all speaking openly about their ruthless tactics and willingness to do whatever it took to achieve their goals. Elder Ethan, who had previously remained quiet and withdrawn, suddenly burst out, revealing his own true nature as a ruthless cultivator.

Orion had always suspected that there was more to the cultivation world than what was visible on the surface. He knew that there were factions and hidden agendas at play, and he had always been wary of getting too involved in politics or power struggles.

In a remote corner of the ancient ruin space, a rocky area was illuminated by the faint light of the sun. Five disciples of the Terra Nova sect had cornered a lone figure - a young woman with ice-blue hair that flowed down her back like a frozen waterfall.

She stood with a calm and collected expression, her icy gaze fixed on her attackers. Despite the odds, she did not seem afraid or intimidated.

The five disciples, on the other hand, were filled with a sense of superiority and arrogance. They were convinced of their own strength, and they believed that they could easily overpower the lone female in front of them. 

However, the young woman remained unfazed, and the disciples soon grew impatient. They decided to summon their beasts to deal with her once and for all.

With a cry, the disciples each called upon their beasts - Rock Turtles and Rock Gorillas. The beasts emerged from the rocky ground, their powerful limbs and tough shells gleaming in the sunlight. They roared and bellowed, eager for a fight.

The young woman remained calm as she surveyed the beasts that were summoned to attack her. She took a deep breath and prepared herself for the upcoming battle. Her expression remained cool and collected as she observed her surroundings.

The disciples sneered at her, taunting her with words meant to intimidate her. "See these beasts?" one of them said, pointing to the creatures. "Do you really think that you can win against them? You might as well hand over your items now and save yourself the trouble."

The young woman then began to open her mouth, a small smile playing on her lips. "You really don't know who you're facing," she said, her voice carrying a quiet confidence. The disciples laughed mockingly.

"Oh, we know exactly who we're facing," another disciple said. "A weak and foolish girl who thinks she can take us on."

The young woman's smile widened, and she lifted her hand, a faint glow emanating from her palm. "You may want to hold your tongues," she said, her voice now low and dangerous.

Suddenly, the ground beneath the beasts began to rumble, and the disciples looked around in confusion. The young woman's smile grew wider as she stepped forward, her movements graceful and fluid.

In a flash, she was surrounded by a ring of ice, which quickly expanded to encompass the entire area. The disciples and their beasts were trapped inside, frozen solid in a matter of seconds.

The young woman walked forward, her feet crunching against the ice. She stopped in front of the frozen disciples and beasts and surveyed them with a cold gaze.

"Perhaps next time, you'll think twice before underestimating someone," she said, before turning and walking away.

As the young woman left the area, the ice began to crack and the disciples and their beasts started to break free. They struggled against the icy grip that held them, and soon they were able to break free from their frozen prison.

But as they tried to leave the area, something strange began to happen. The amulets that they wore around their necks began to glow with an eerie light, and then they shattered into a million pieces. 

The disciples looked down at the broken pieces of their amulets in confusion, unsure of what was happening. Suddenly, a bright light engulfed them, and they felt themselves being pulled away from the ruin space.

When the light faded, they found themselves outside, surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings. They looked around in shock, realizing that they had been transported out of the ruin space.

The disciples tried to re-enter the ruin space, but they found that they couldn't. The amulets that had granted them entry into the ruin space were gone, shattered into irreparable pieces.

The disciples looked at each other in confusion, wondering how they would report this to their respective elders. They had failed their mission to retrieve the treasure from the ruin space, and now they were stranded outside with no way back in.

As they began to assess their situation, they noticed a group of elders approaching them. The disciples quickly recognized them as elders of the five sects

The elder leading the group, Elder Ethan, looked at the disciples with a smug expression. "Well, well, well. Look who we have here," he said, gesturing towards them. "It seems that the disciples this time are yours, Elder Matt."

Elder Matt, the leader of the Terra Nova sect, bristled at the tone of Elder Ethan's words. He knew that Elder Ethan was taking revenge for the humiliation he had suffered earlier when his own disciples were the first to be eliminated from the mission.

However, instead of showing any signs of anger or frustration, Elder Matt simply smiled and calmly responded, "It was not a problem, there are still other strong disciples inside."

Elder Ethan's smirk faded a bit, surprised by Elder Matt's nonchalant attitude. "Oh really?" he asked, a hint of skepticism in his voice.

"Yes," Elder Matt replied confidently. "Our sect has many talented disciples, and I'm sure they will succeed in retrieving the treasure. After all, failure is just a stepping stone to success."

Elder Ethan narrowed his eyes, clearly not convinced. "Well, we'll see about that," he said before turning to leave with the other elders.
