Rafferty Tate’s plan fell through.

Originally, he thought that even if Branthor Kirby’s strength increased and he couldn’t defeat him, his action would show his stance, and the host, the Azure Divine Sect, would naturally stop the subsequent fight, allowing him to withdraw gracefully, while keeping Thunder Cave Sect out of it.

Rafferty Tate didn’t expect to be captured by Branthor Kirby.

With a single move!

Branthor Kirby unleashed the black needle magical treasure, and he didn’t even have time to block it, getting injured by the needle, and then controlled.

This is truly disastrous!

Instinctively, he glanced at the Sect Master of the Azure Divine Sect, Xorin Schneider. I am a guest here, you definitely can’t just sit and watch me die, right?

Xorin Schneider shouted sternly, "Branthor Kirby, what are you trying to do?"

Branthor Kirby smiled slightly, "Sect Master Xorin, I didn’t provoke this incident. You saw it; he attacked me first. I was merely defending myself, and besides, I didn’t kill him. I just wanted him to quieten down and not disturb everyone’s mood."

Xorin Schneider rebuked angrily, "Elder Tate is a guest of our Azure Divine Sect, release him immediately!"

Branthor Kirby replied cheerfully, "Release... I didn’t do anything to him. There’s a bit of medicine on the needle; he’ll naturally recover after a while."

Xorin Schneider pulled Rafferty Tate to his side and then responded sternly, "If you’re here to cause trouble, our Azure Divine Sect won’t permit it!"

Branthor Kirby laughed heartily, "I didn’t cause trouble; he caused trouble for me, right, Oraya Lorne, Elder Lorne?"

Oraya Lorne responded coldly, "You certainly have guts, still daring to show up in front of me."

Branthor Kirby laughed heartily, "Today is your good day of advancing to Great Land Prime Immortal. On this occasion, as the man who likes you the most, I had to be present to personally congratulate you."

This remark immediately stirred excitement among the guests.

All guests’ eyes brightened, gazes shifting between Branthor Kirby, Oraya Lorne, and Clarimond Weaver.

There is gossip to watch!

Oraya Lorne’s face remained indifferent, "Many people like me, but you’re the only one who drugs the person they like. I regret not being harsher back then, killing you directly so you wouldn’t come back to disgust me with your words."

Oraya Lorne didn’t hide, instead openly revealing the matter. After all, Branthor Kirby’s despicable attempt didn’t succeed, so there’s nothing to shy away from discussing.

Her words immediately intensified the chatter among the crowd.

Branthor Kirby paused, seemingly not expecting Oraya Lorne, as a woman, to openly speak of this matter. Although he failed back then, speaking of it still usually makes the woman suffer, leading to gossip, right?

"Oraya Lorne, you’re as straightforward as ever."

Oraya Lorne sneered, "You’re as insidious as ever, like a venomous snake hiding in the grass, or in holes, ready to strike at people. What do you intend to do by coming here this time?"

Branthor Kirby laughed heartily, "Didn’t I just say? I’m here to congratulate you. You’ve finally broken through the bottleneck of Great Land Supreme Immortal after all this time, truly worth celebrating. Come, bring the congratulatory gift!"

A person behind Branthor Kirby stepped forward, retrieving from the Space Ring a bamboo shoot-like object, crystal clear, its appearance releasing a fragrance that refreshes one’s mind, a gentle breath brings clarity.

"This Divine Light Jade Bamboo Shoot, accumulated and condensed over ten thousand years, is a remarkable item for enhancing cultivation and aiding in breakthrough comprehension, worth a fortune. I offer it as a gift; do you like it, Oraya?"

All guests fixated their eyes on this jade bamboo shoot, gazes blazing.

Many knowledgeable individuals envied greatly.

This Divine Light Jade Bamboo Shoot, while not an actual bamboo shoot, resembles a stalactite, formed by the accumulation and erosion of Divine Light Jade liquid over thousands of years, categorically a superior Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Branthor Kirby said its worth is incredible, indeed not exaggerated in the slightest.

Oraya Lorne responded icily, "Branthor Kirby, I don’t want your gift, but I’d love to have your life!"

Branthor Kirby smacked his lips and laughed, "That might be challenging; if I weren’t capable, would I dare show up here? After all, you nearly killed me back then."

Oraya Lorne stared coldly at Branthor Kirby, remaining silent.

If she were confident, Oraya Lorne would’ve struck immediately, finishing Branthor Kirby once and for all, but given how boldly he came today, he clearly relies on something, not fearing the Azure Divine Sect’s retaliation.

Everyone witnessed Branthor Kirby’s handling of Rafferty Tate earlier, explicitly showing his overwhelming strength over Rafferty Tate’s, demonstrating his formidable power.

Oraya Lorne held back due to uncertainty. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Branthor Kirby brought a group, confidently arriving at the Azure Divine Sect, his intent clearly beyond mere congratulation and gifting.

Branthor Kirby noticed Oraya Lorne’s silence, chuckling lightly, unconcerned, then turned his gaze toward Nico Weaver, "Oraya, I hear you’ve found a Pathist couple..."
