Lightning Is the Only Way

"The Sect Master has left the Sect for a meeting and will return in a couple of days."

This sentence appeared in Gravis' mind suddenly as he was talking with Stella. It came from a Peak Immortal that contacted Gravis with his Spirit.

CRACK!

The atmosphere seemingly broke apart as Gravis got the message. The feeling of harmony and peace left the air as Gravis' Spirit returned to normal.

Stella noticed that everything had changed around her and appeared normal now. At the start, she didn't know what was going on, but then she realized it. Without noticing it, she had been captivated in a whirlpool of peace for the last couple of years.

She hadn't really thought about how she had been feeling during this time, which was why she hadn't noticed it when peace occurred. Only when it stopped did she notice how great her time with Gravis had been.

She wished she could go back to this time.

"You were contacted?" Stella asked.

Gravis sighed and nodded.

"Has Liran informed the Sect about the imminent attack?" Gravis asked the voice back.

"What attack?" the voice asked in shock.

Gravis' eyes narrowed in disdain. "So, he hasn't informed the Sect," he answered.

"What are you talking about?" the voice asked nervously.

"Arthur is still out there, and my recent display has also caught the eye of several other Sect Masters," Gravis answered. "They share a goal and will strike at the Sect. Liran is the biggest issue since he is a Sect Master and can inform the Sect Alliance, which is why he will be called away when the attack will happen."
