âHow⦠Is that possible?â
Alex was also astonished, he seemed hesitant and puzzled, but he still hurriedly used the Mystic Armor
to protect the woman. Mica could not die for real now as this was his amulet He would never let her go,
even if Donovan wanted to rescue her by catching him off guard.
However, things didnât always go as plannedâ¦
Gabriel looked at Donovan. âDonovan, do you have a decent solution? This scoundrel went so far as to
capture Mica as a hostage. Now I fear the repercussions after acting against him. Itâs challenging! The
Tower of the Sun God will burn him to death along with Mica.â
Donovan replied, âMaster, Third Madam seems to be pregnant.â
âThird Madamâ that he mentioned was Gabrielâs third wife.
âUh⦠Yes, but why are you talking about this now?â
âMaster, your daughter could be born again. Itâs fine to have eight or ten of them, but once we miss the
thing on this guy, we might not be able to acquire it again even if the entire Sun Shrine were to spend a
millennium.â
ââ¦â
Once Donovan said that, everyone fell silent.
Mica was perturbed because of the drastic change earlier. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her
out of the blue. She could not stop tears streaming down her face. She had invested her passionate
love and her night dreams in her senior. But, to her surprise, he had said such a thing and wanted to
abandon her and burn her to death just because he wanted to get the treasures on Alex.
Her world turned upside-down.
âHow can this be? Senior, how can you do this to me?â Mica yelled as she could not accept it.
Donovan looked calm as he said indifferently, âJunior, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Sun
Shrine. You should make a sacrifice for the rise of the Sun Shrine! This will be your glory too. In the
future, Iâll build a statue of you in the Sun Shrine so that the descendants of the sect will always be
grateful for your righteous deed.â
Alex was speechless after hearing it. He looked at Mica, full of sympathy.
Mica wept, yet she was unable to speak.
âYouâve entrusted yourself to the wrong guy!
âA man fears to follow the wrong career, a woman fears to marry the wrong man!â
Alex sighed and gloated slightly. He had broken through her barrier, but that was an accident. He did
not have the mood to be responsible till the end. Although this woman looked fine and was bosomy,
she was dim-witted.
However, Gabriel was reluctant to let go of his daughter. This was his only daughter born to him and his
beloved, so how could he burn her to death?
âNo, absolutely not! All of you, stop! Put away the Tower of the Sun God!â he bellowed.
The remaining eight people out of the twelve Peak Lords supported the Fire Tower without knowing
what to do.
Donovan roared, âMaster, youâre the sect master of the Sun Shrine, so you should take the lead and
think for the Sun Shrine. This guy just killed our three Peak Lead. Donât you want to avenge them?
Juniorâs life is important. But are their lives not? Besides, who could guarantee that no one else would
die once we let him go?â
Gabriel still refused to do so.
Donovan immediately shouted, âGabriel Simpson, you disappoint me greatly! The Sun Shrine is in its
current state all because of my merits. Youâre unworthy of the sect masterâs position. You actually want
to push away this great opportunity. If we kill him today, the status of the Sun Shrine will be able to rise
again to the next level, and all the Peak Lordsâ cultivation realm might be able to transcend into
Immortalization. But youâre so selfish⦠All the Peak Lords, heed my words. Keep burning. When we
acquire his magical treasures, weâll share them.â
The Peak Lords looked at each other in dismay.
Someone roared, âFine, Iâll listen to Young Sect Master. From now on, Young Sect Master will be the
sect master of the Sun Shrine!â
Once someone took the lead, the other Peak Lords followed suit.
Mainly, the magical treasures on Alex were too amazing. But, on the other hand, Donovanâs authority of
speech in the sect had even surpassed Gabriel because Donovan was the blessed man, and the Sun
Shrine was soaring because of Donovan.
âTower of the Sun God, burn!â
