Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis almost thought he hadn't heard Manuel's words correctly.

Cut off all contact with Gravis?

Why!?

"Manuel," Gravis said slowly.

"I have to!" Manuel shouted with gritted teeth. "I can't sacrifice the Myriad Sect for a meaningless show of loyalty. The entire Myriad Sect wouldn't be able to help you, and we would only die. I'm doing this, so you have someone to return to when all of this is over!"

Stella looked with horror at the Myriad Sect and with fear at Gravis.

Leave Gravis?

Never!

"What is a Sin Aura? How did I condense one?" Gravis asked with clenched fists.

The Elder from the Eternal Fire Sect looked at Gravis coldly.

"Have you recently killed a great number of weaker Cultivators?"

Gravis' mind immediately went to the Shining Purity Sect.

Gravis' face became white as he realized that he had done exactly that.

How had things suddenly changed in this way? He was used to doing stuff like this, and it didn't feel any different from what he had done in the past.

How had that suddenly become a problem?

The Elder noticed Gravis' expression, and he knew that Gravis had done just that.

The Elder took out an emblem and looked at it for a while. After a short time, his brows furrowed.

"The Shining Purity Sect," he said.

"It doesn't exist anymore."

When the Myriad Sect heard that, they all fell silent.

Hearing these words only increased their frustration and helplessness.
