Summit Farmer-Chapter 2261 - 2259: The Matter of Arresting People

Peter Brown was studying his Heavenly Dao Technique in the inn, while also adjusting his Body Refining Technique. Now he needed to appear as if he was at the Third Level of Body Refining.

After a day, when Peter Brown stepped outside, the teahouse was already abuzz with discussions.

By this time, Peter Brown had realized he didn’t need to worry about the Harrison clan. The two deceased members of the Harrison clan were newcomers here, even if they found out he was the one who sent them in, they probably wouldn’t inform the family, nor would they have time to do so. Additionally, Peter had erased their imprints, making it even more unlikely for anyone to associate him with the incident.

Sipping on tea, Peter reviewed the entire situation once more. He confirmed that he had transferred the imprints to others. The two members from the Harrison clan had arrogantly pursued the people without notifying their clan. Given their pride, they presumably wouldn’t mention this incident, as they viewed it as simply capturing a sealed individual.

Thinking about this, Peter’s lips curled into a smile; he had made the situation more complicated than necessary, and there was no need to worry so much.

Indeed, as Peter listened to the whispers of the people around him, he felt even more assured. The focus of everyone’s attention was on the large hole created by the Heavenly Disaster, and hardly anyone was paying attention to the Ruin Market.

Peter thoughtfully calculated the distance between his location and that place, nodding silently; it was quite a distance. If an ordinary cultivator tried to fly there desperately, it would take considerable time. At their speed, they might have only covered half the distance, while the families had already received notifications and were conducting thorough investigations everywhere.

"Waiter, I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for a while. Can you tell me what’s been happening outside?"

Peter tossed a Life Stone to the waiter.

Receiving the Life Stone, the waiter’s eyes sparkled, and he smiled, "The biggest news in the Ruin Market right now is about the Heavenly Disaster. You wouldn’t believe it, some major event occurred inside the mine; it’s said that someone was crossing a Heavenly Tribulation in there. The tribulation was so awesome, it blasted a Sky Pit right through the mine, incredibly powerful! It shattered the ground all the way to the tribulation site, a hole a kilometer wide! Now, strong persons from various families have rushed over, even experts from the Great Void Sect are there. Although the families sealed the mine immediately, they still haven’t found the one who crossed the tribulation."

"What kind of Heavenly Disaster could be so awesome, you must be exaggerating." Peter exclaimed in feigned surprise.

One of the two people at the next table turned to Peter and said, "Friend, what the waiter said is indeed true. At first, I didn’t believe it either, but I have connections who’ve seen it. The Heavenly Disaster is truly terrifying; the kilometer-wide Sky Pit appeared. The family and sect formation turned into worthless fragments."

"Thank you for the clarification, friend. Why don’t we sit together for a chat? I’m Peter Brown." Peter smiled at the two people.

"I’m Charlie Green, and this is my friend Jose."

"Waiter, bring us a pot of good tea. I’m treating my two new friends."

Peter moved over to join them.

Everyone exchanged greetings and sat down.

Charlie Green looked at Peter and asked, "Which family do you belong to?"

Everyone here was captured. By asking which family one belonged to, it was clear who had brought them here."

"Harrison, I came from the First Heaven."

"Oh."

Even Jose, who hadn’t said anything, raised his head to look at Peter.

Charlie Green exclaimed in surprise, "You actually came from the First Heaven!"

Peter explained some of his situation,

After listening, Jose said, "Didn’t expect such a situation, good riddance! These families are utterly arrogant. They cover the heavens with one hand, oppressing everyone with the backing of sect influence. They will face clan eradication sooner or later!"

It was clear this person held deep resentment towards the families.

Peter glanced at them both, seeing they had switched to practicing Body Refining Techniques.

"I’ve been wondering, families place people in places like this but still allow participation in large-scale competitions. Aren’t they worried about these individuals growing in the sect and seeking revenge?"

This was something Peter Brown had never fully understood.

Charlie Green sighed, "Afraid, of course they are. But it’s a rule of the sect. You should know, the sect uses this method to intimidate some families. However, families have their own methods too. Once someone in the sect shows growth potential, they employ tactics to eliminate them. We might be one person entering, but they have an entire family, and their power in the sect is significant."

"Isn’t it problematic, though, if they capture individuals belonging to major powers, wouldn’t that lead to clan eradication?"

"The Great Void promised that if a power eradicates a family, the Great Void Sect will uproot that power."

Peter secretly shook his head, knowing despite many measures, families remained at risk.

Jose said, "A family isn’t simple; to be a powerful family, they wouldn’t fear trouble. Many families have their strong persons on guard. Don’t worry about them; as you advance, they advance too. And their network far exceeds what you can compare. For us, entering the sect is the top priority. Upgrading ourselves as much as possible is key."

Peter thought for a moment and could only nod. That was indeed the case, families are the most potent force under the sect. Besides the sect, it’s likely families; all powers dare not act rashly, except for those with immense potential for growth. At that time, families might offer apologies or even use some sect power for reconciliation.

Charlie Green smiled wryly, "Peter, our elixir seas are sealed. Honestly, even if the sect unseals them, our paths are likely not the Body Refining path. This path is tough, with limited growth potential. To repair the area below the navel, we need Restoration Pills, which are extremely expensive. Moreover, we must repair it within five years; otherwise, even with a Restoration Pill, it can’t be restored properly."

Peter suddenly grasped the meaning behind the words, families were least worried about this issue. Not everyone could repair the area below the navel, meaning not many people could grow.

A deep calculation indeed!
