Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3312

After the disciples of Thunder Sect headed down the mountain to join Holtrien's war against foreign enemies, Andrew and his group did not stay any longer.

Their next stop had to be either the Harmony Sect or the Umbral Peak Sect. As long as two of the ancient sects agreed to step in, the only one left would be the Divine Alchemists, and they would not be much of a threat.

Before Andrew left, Rupert spoke up. "Andrew, let me give you a piece of advice. Neither the Umbral Peak Sect nor the Harmony Sect is easy to deal with. That coward Julius will definitely run to them and scheme against you."

Andrew replied casually, "Then I'll just cut them down too."

Rupert's face twisted with resentment, since he was one of those who had been cut down. He had been lucky enough to keep his life, but losing an arm was still quite a high price to pay.

"Next stop, Umbral Peak Sect," Andrew decided.

With that, he led Nyx and the others away from the Thunder Sect.

…

At that very moment, inside the Umbral Peak Sect, the most secretive and sinister of the Eight Ancient Sects, the atmosphere was dark and isolated. The sect was built on top of an old mass grave, cut off from the outside world, and the air felt heavy and chilling.

Julius, with his snow-white hair and long flowing robes, arrived at the Umbral Peak Sect's territory with his disciples.

Suddenly, harsh, grating laughter echoed from the dark forest surrounding them. The Divine Alchemists' disciples turned pale with fear.

"Ghosts!" they shouted, drawing their weapons in panic.

Only Julius remained expressionless. In a low voice, he announced, "I am Julius Bowen of the Divine Alchemists, here to visit the Umbral Peak Sect. Please come out and show yourself."

The strange and spine-chilling laughter continued to echo through the mountains and woods.

It showed no sign of stopping.
