Chapter 962 The Nether Faction II

Published Mar 11, 2026, 03:55 PM

The young lady tried communicating with Grey as they walked, she felt since they were brought over by the same person, it was best if they formed a team or something. Grey entertained her conversation, but he didn't really input much as they walked to an open field in the Burchard Manor. When they got there, they saw a group of youths around their age. All of them were in the Sage Plane. 'The age limit is twenty-five.' Grey thought as he looked at the youths in front of him. In total, there were fifteen youths, and of them, there were two who were already at the Peak of the Sage Plane. To get to the Peak of the Sage Plane before hitting twenty-five was an amazing thing. Grey felt he wouldn't need that long to do it since he was already in the Fifth stage, but he couldn't be compared to others. Normally, it would take at least four to ten years to go through the entire Sage Plane. But for people like Grey and some other special people, it wouldn't even take more than two years. There are some who even go through the entire Plane in as little as a year. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 Sylvia nodded at Grey and the young lady. She felt a little relieved seeing that the two of them were talking to each other. The group walked over and the Elder introduced them to their leader, Scott. He was one of the youths who were at the Peak of the Sage Plane. He had a short beard and narrow eyes which almost seemed like they were shut. His hair was around Grey's hair length, with brown eyes. Scott looked at the group of youths walking in their direction. Seeing that there was someone amongst the externals who was below the Late stages of the Sage Plane, he couldn't help but raise his brow. "Fifth Elder, why would someone below the Late stages be with the group?" He asked. His tone was one of arrogance, but he was genuinely curious about the matter. Normally, they would go for a genius who was around the Late stages or even the Peak of the Sage Plane, however, there was someone in the Fifth stage of the Sage Plane in the group, and it was quite surprising. "He was brought here by your sister, you can ask her about it." The Fifth Elder replied, clearly not happy with Grey's being able to join in. Scott turned to look at Sylvia. "Do you want a beating?" Sylvia asked with a snicker when she saw Scott giving her an inquisitive look. Scott withdrew his head like a turtle and didn't ask about it any longer. He knew his sister's personality. Also, from what he knew, there was no way his sister would do something that would bring shame to the Family. Although he didn't chase the matter any longer, it didn't stop the others from looking at Grey. Having the lowest stage, Grey knew he would attract a lot of attention, so seeing how they were all studying him, he couldn't help but feel a headache. If even the people he was going with were already looking down on him, then what would happen when he gets to the place of the competition? 'Hehe, she's fiery.' Void laughed when he saw how Sylvia handled Scott. 'I wonder how much she bullies him.' Grey could help but say. From how fast Scott retracted his head when Sylvia asked the question showed how much he feared her. The entourage waited a little longer, and five more people appeared. A middle-aged man who had the same appearance as Scott alongside two old men and old women. "Let's go." As soon as he arrived, he said, before casually waving his hand. Grey felt a powerful suction force coming his way, and before he knew it, his vision went blank. Time slowly went by, and Grey didn't know how long it took before he saw light again. He noticed they were standing in another place at the moment, looking around, he realized they were standing at the top of a mountain. "You're early once again. Looks like the results will be the same as the last time." A mocking voice came from the surrounding before a figure stepped out of the void, behind him was a group of youths as well. Just like the group Grey was in, there were twenty youths below the age of twenty-five, all in the Late stages of the Sage Plane. Grey's eyes trailed from each of them before stopping at a familiar figure. The young man who attacked him the last time. His gaze changed a little when he realized the young man was unexpectedly in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane. 'Thought they said he was in the Seventh stage?' Grey asked Void to confirm. When he first came and asked around about the young man, it was said that he was in the Seventh stage of the Sage Plane. How long has it been since then? Yet he was already in the Ninth stage. 'Yeah, you didn't hear wrong. Either our informant is a little behind in getting news, or he didn't know his true stage and assumed.' Void replied. Sensing a gaze, the young man looked in Grey's direction. He was originally looking at the youths, his Faction's opponents, but sensing a strange gaze he turned to look at the source. When his eyes met with Grey, he paused for some time, seemingly trying to recall where he had seen his face before. After some time, his eyes enlarged and it was evident that he remembered something. His gaze towards Grey turned murderous for only a quarter of a second. He smiled before moving his gaze away. Grey didn't miss the intent to kill that flashed through the eyes of the young man, but he wasn't bothered, he looked around and his vision fell on one of the six youths who were at the Peak of the Sage Plane. The Burchard Family had only four people at the Peak of the Sage Plane while the Nether Faction had six people at the Peak. Unlike the Burchard Family, they didn't have any external helpers, all twenty members were from the Nether Faction. This showed the strength of the Nether Faction.
