Lightning Is the Only Way

While Surem broke down over the death of everything he loved, Gravis simply looked to the sky and took in the feeling of having grown more powerful yet again.

When he arrived in this world, all these Sects had been far too powerful for him. Just the arrival of Arthur's son, someone in the Mid Major Circulation Immortal Realm, had nearly resulted in Gravis' death. However, such a weak Cultivator couldn't even have held one of the weaker resource points.

And now, not even the entire Sect Alliance was a danger to Gravis anymore.

Several hours passed until…

SHING!

Someone appeared above the former Unrestrained Sect.

"Weren't you supposed to be away for several days?" Gravis asked without turning to the person.

However, Liran didn't answer him. Instead, he only looked with shock and horror at the ground below him.

This was his Sect?

This was the Unrestrained Sect?

But it couldn't be! He must have teleported to an incorrect position! This couldn't possibly be the Unrestrained Sect!

Gravis noticed Liran's expression and snorted to himself. 'Idiot. You probably thought that just because everything else has worked out up to now that it would continue to do so. Couldn't accept that you could lose everything you had, eh?'

Liran's reaction didn't surprise Gravis at all. The Sect had probably gone through several crises, and it had always managed to come out ahead.

Hey, it had all worked out up to now, right?
