Arthur mistakenly thought that she had bluffed him when she shouted for help but no one showed up. So he was very angry when he stopped for nothing.
But it wasn't her intention to bluff him. In fact, she was the one who became most bewildered and confused when no one showed up to help her.
Her confusion turned into fear and panic when Arthur's arrows converged on her and blasted her out of the sky. As she fell to the ground, she screamed, "Please save me."
But her partner didn't come out. The man was very angry that someone from his sect had ended up in a sorry state, but he was even more afraid of death, so he chose to remain watching as Arthur killed her.
He didn't move from his position to help her at all. Anytime he thought of coming to her rescue, he would freeze because he could sense Arthur's divine sense constantly sweeping the surroundings.
It was clear that Arthur was very vigilant. So there was no way that he could catch Arthur off guard. What was most likely to happen was that he would die if he showed up.
The fear of death turned him into an unwilling witness to the death of his sect member. He watched as Arthur called the green face plant and fed it the corpses of everyone.
His heart was in his throat the whole time, and he didn't relax until Arthur left. But even then, he didn't leave. This was because he was afraid that Arthur was hiding nearby, waiting for him.
He waited for eleven days, standing there. But the truth of the matter was that Arthur left a long time ago and had returned to his sect without looking back at all.
He thought for sure that Arthur was still around because Arthur didn't destroy the second cultivation family. He expected Arthur to destroy the second cultivation family, so the fact that the second cultivation family hadn't been destroyed yet only made him believe that Arthur was still lurking around and planning something.
But the true reason why Arthur didn't destroy the second cultivation family was that he didn't have the moral high ground to give him the right to destroy them.
The first cultivation family had kidnapped a member of the Blood Skull sect and tried to kill them many times, so he had the right to destroy them. Besides, he didn't take any direct action against them, so he is in the clear even if someone tries to blame him for destroying them.
But the second cultivation family had done nothing to him, and he was the aggressor, so he couldn't destroy them. If anything, he is supposed to compensate them for the damage he caused to them after he used them as bait to draw out people from the Blood Skull sect.
It took this man eleven days to realize that Arthur was gone. Only then did he dare to sigh in relief.
He still felt some grief for her death, but he was also relieved that he had survived this ordeal. He could only shake his head and say to himself, "At least, with her gone, I now have the chance to advance to the fifth mortal coil."
She had been ahead of him in line for support to advance to the fifth mortal coil. So her death means that he is now the one who will be supported to advance to the fifth mortal coil if there is an opportunity for advancement.
But the truth of the matter is that even with her fine, his chances of advancing to the fifth mortal coil are still very slim. This is because someone just advanced to the fifth mortal coil in the sect recently. So there won't be an opportunity for anyone to advance for the next 200 years.
By the time the next opportunity to advance comes around, he will be dead. The only way he can gain an opportunity for advancement soon is if the patriarchs of the sect are willing to sell the benefits that they gained from the Red and Blue Fire sect.
So, in terms of consolation prize, the fact that he is up for support next is only so-so. But it is better than nothing, so he can't complain about it.
On the other side of the world, Arthur returned to the sect in a good mood. But before he could begin enjoying the fruit of his recent labor, the patriarchs called a council meeting to discuss their future plans with them.
So he put everything that he wanted to do aside on his floating island, including Ouroboros, before he rushed to the council hall. Everyone did the same thing, so the council hall was quickly filled up.
After everyone had arrived, Sword Flash began to address them. He started by sighing and saying, "I have two pieces of good news and two pieces of bad news. I'll start with the bad news, so brace yourself."
Everyone's chest had tightened, and they became anxious when they heard that there was some bad news. So they really said straighter and braced themselves in order to receive the bad news.
He said, "The first piece of bad news is that the spatial coordinates of the world we got don't belong to the homeworld of the gem people. Apparently, the gem people tricked us and made us get the spatial coordinates of another small world."
When Arthur heard this, he gritted his teeth and said to himself, "This is really bad news. How are we going to get the spatial coordinates of their homeworld now?"
Every golden core elder was thinking the same thing he did. They didn't know what to do about this problem, so they could only continue to listen to what Sword Flash had to say.
And Sword Flash didn't disappoint them. He said, "Fortunately, I am ingenious, and the League of World Eaters is very difficult to deal with. So we were able to find a way to thwart their scheme."
