Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 617

At that very moment, everyone gathered at the mountain gate was utterly stunned, including Korbin and Kaitlyn.

"Six rings! He got six rings! How is this possible?" Kaitlyn's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

She had always believed her talent to be the greatest and had even doubted that the Netherworld Bell could ring more than five times. She never imagined that Sebastian's talent would far surpass hers.

Heather was equally shocked, unable to speak for a long while. When she finally found her voice, she stubbornly remarked, "Even the founder only achieved five rings, how could he possibly have six? There must be something wrong with the Netherworld Bell!

"Come to think of it, maybe the bell really is malfunctioning. Otherwise, how could someone possess such an extraordinary talent?"

"Exactly! The founder Zachary was already an unparalleled genius, and he was able to establish a sect. To have someone with talent on par with him is unbelievable, let alone someone who surpasses him!"

Many nodded in agreement, and even Kaitlyn began to doubt the situation.

Just then, four figures emerged from the valley, moving with incredible speed. Among them were two elderly men, a middle-aged man, and a woman who appeared to be in her late 20s.

"Greetings, Grand Elders!" Korbin led the bow, and everyone else hurriedly followed suit.

These were the revered Four Grand Elders of the Netherworld Sect, the sect's most formidable secret strength.

One of the elderly men was the previous sect leader, and the other was the former head of the elders. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was nearly 60, and he was also the former second elder.

The young-looking woman, though appearing in her late 20s, was actually over 40 years old and had a high status as she was the daughter of the sect leader two generations before. Even Korbin had to address her as his aunt.

The great-elders typically secluded themselves from worldly affairs, focusing solely on cultivation. They only emerged when the sect faced an existential crisis.

Jody was not convinced. "Being powerful doesn't mean you can teach well. When I served as the head of the elders, I frequently guided the apprentices in their training. I'm the best fit to be his mentor."

…

As the Grand Elders debated, their discussion turned into a full-blown argument, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.

These usually aloof and unreachable figures were now bickering openly over who would take Sebastian as their apprentice—something no one would have ever imagined.

Just then, the bell rang again, and the entire area fell silent.

The resonant chime echoed through the sky and earth, lingering in the air, seemingly profound and endless.
