Lightning Is the Only Way

Stella sighed in relief.

Liam wasn't sure what he should think about this. On one hand, he really hated Gravis, but on the other hand, this was what his sister wanted, and Gravis might really be able to help her out of this predicament.

Their teacher, who had remained silent for a while now, only smiled in relief. Like this, Stella actually had a chance to survive and grow more powerful. This had been the last thing that had been on the teacher's mind.

Could she now die without regrets?

No.

Cultivators always had regrets, but this solution made it easier at least.

"However," Gravis said, eliciting looks from everyone. "I am not traveling with someone that wants my head," he said as he gazed at Liam.

Liam became angry again, but his teacher answered first.

"This will not be a problem," she said, making Liam look at her with furrowed brows.

"Liam has a different path from Stella," she said. "Liam needs to prepare himself for becoming an Immortal King. For that, he needs to return to my Sect."

Liam looked with shock at his teacher. "Are you saying that I'm supposed to leave sis alone with him!?" he shouted as he pointed at Gravis.

"Liam!" Stella shouted. "Don't forget who you are talking about! I'm more powerful than you, and if I couldn't defend myself, you wouldn't be able to help either. If you want to become useful, become more powerful than me first."

Liam clenched his fists in frustration. He knew that he was weaker than Stella, but that didn't mean that he didn't want to help her! He wanted to help her!

However, reality could be cruel. Stella was right. If something was able to kill her, Liam wouldn't be any help.

He hated this!

He hated feeling useless!

"Fine!" he shouted with a glare. "Then I will become an Immortal King and search for you. When that happens, you can't say that I'm useless anymore!"
