Making 765


    Swoosh…


    Lilian and her threepanionsunched themselves forward, attacking Master Barker in unison.


    From his position on the icy rock, Master Barker retaliated with equal ferocity.


    Soon, Lilian and her team were locked in intensebat with Master Barker.


    On the icy slopes, they darted and shed, storms of power unleashing around them.


    Frightening bursts of energy exploded amidst the snowstorm, the forces involved beyond human


    comprehension.


    The four women and Master Barker fought fiercely on the icy slopes, their battle so evenly matched


    that neither side could gain an upper hand.


    This was because Master Barker, with his elite cultivator’s skills, was stronger than Lilian and her


    companions, who were of intermediate level.


    However, Lilian and herpanions had numbers on their side.


    So, it was strength against numbers, and with the group’s tight–knit coordination.


    The fight seemed to reach a stalemate, neither side able to dominate the other.


    As time ticked by, Lilian, herpanions, and Master Barker had been battling it out on the ice


    mountain for an hour.


    However, there is no clear winner in sight.


    This drew silent frustration from the Venerable Master, who was watching from the rocks.


    Because Master Barker had told him before that he would definitely defeat Lilian and the other three


    women.


    Yet, here Master Barker fought with Lilian and herpanions for more than an hour, with no end in


    sight.


    This made the Venerable Master feel that his hope was getting slimmer and slimmer.


    He couldn’t wait any longer. If Master Barker was defeated, he wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping


    either.


    Deciding to save his own skin, the Venerable Master prepared to flee.


    But just as he was about to make his move, the sound of tearing through the air reached his ears.


    Looking down, Venerable Master saw thousands of Secret Sect masters flying up towards the ice


    mountain.


    Seeing this, the Venerable Master’s anxiety spiked.


    He turned and flew towards the top of the ice mountain.


    Among the approaching Secret Sect masters, Landen, n, and others also spotted the fleeing


    Venerable Master.


    “The Venerable Master is trying to escape!”


    Landen and n immediately shouted.


    A glint appeared in Kean’s eyes as he spoke to Landen, n, and the others, “Follow me to chase


    the Venerable Master. We can’t let him get away


    III


    r


    No sooner had he spoken than Kean, Landen, n, and several other seniors and elders exerted


    their full power, soaring upwards after the Venerable Master.


    As the Venerable Master saw Kean and his group pursuing, he realized that while he feared Lilian


    and the other cultivators, he was not afraid of Kean and hispanions.


    The thought of his own escape while Kean dominated Snowenia left the Venerable Master with a


    bitter taste of defeat.


    Quickly, he remembered the ambush he had set up.


    A sinister gleam shed in his eyes, and he flew towards a spot on the left side of the icy mountain.


    His flying speed wasn’t particrly fast, as if he intended for Kean and the others to keep up.


    As Kean and his followers pursued the Venerable Master, all the masters from the Secret Sect


    followed suit.


    However, Gilmore, Helene, Juline, Emma, Ynda and ine didn’t join the pursuit, choosing to


    stay on the open ground of the Bead Peak cavern instead.


    Even Maria stayed with Gilmore.


    Because she saw so many people chasing after Venerable Master, she assumed that nothing would


    happen, so she didn’t give. chase.


    Moreover, she saw the intense battle underway on the slope of the ice mountain above, between


    Lilian and her threepanions and Master Barker.


    Witnessing the power storms of fearsome purple energy shing, she couldn’t help but be


    astounded.


    She had never imagined that Lilian and herpanions would be so formidable.


    Of course, she was also stunned by the terrifying power disyed by the cultivators.


    However, she couldn’t help but worry for Lilian and the others, as Master Barker was a fearsomely


    powerful master cultivator from ce.


    So, she turned to Gilmore and asked, “Mr. Reed, your friends aren’t in any danger, are they?”


    Gilmore looked at Maria and responded, “Ms. Gould, are you worried about my fiancées being in


    danger?”


    Maria was taken aback.


    This was because Gilmore had just referred to Lilian and the others as his fiancées.


    Four fiancées, she hadn’t misheard, had she?


    Regaining herposure, Maria couldn’t help but ask Gilmore, Mr. Reed, did you just say they are


    all your fiancées?”


    At this point, Maria pointed towards Lilian and her threepanions who were fiercely battling on


    the ice mountain.


    With a serious expression, Gilmore said, “Yes, they are my fiancées.”

    “And we’re also engaged to Gilmore Reed,” said Emma, Helene, Juline, and the other girls with


    sweet smiles to Maria


    Especially Be, who seemed to be muddying the waters, also blended in with Helene, Emma and


    Juline and imed to be Gilmore’s fiancée.


    Seeing Be also iming to be his fiancée, Gilmore could only respond with a smile and no


    comment.

    Although he hadn’t acknowledged Be as his fiancée, she had received eptance and support


    from Lilian and his other fiancées.


    So, in reality, Be had be his fiancée, acknowledged by the others even without Gilmore’s


    explicit agreement.


    Therefore, Gilmore couldn’t exactly deny that Be wasn’t his fiancée.


    Now, Maria was utterly bbergasted.


    She was already very surprised when she found out that Lilian and her friends were Gilmore’s


    fiancées.


    But now, knowing that Gilmore had seven fiancées, Maria felt as if her entire worldview had been


    turned upside down.


    This was just too astonishing.


    “Eleven fiancées? Isn’t that a bit much?”


    Furthermore, she was quite curious. With so many women smitten with Gilmore, didn’t they ever


    fight?


    After all, women are known for their rivalries, fueled by jealousy and fraught with scheming!


    However, what Maria saw before her belied this notion. Gilmore’s fiancées showed no signs of


    discord or unhappiness.


    She couldn’t make heads or tails of it.


    But then again, these were not her concerns to ponder.


    With a slightly awkward expression, Maria looked at Gilmore. “To have so many devoted to you, Mr.


    Reed, is truly enviable.”


    Gilmore responded with a modest smile, “You tter me, Ms. Gould. I’m afraid you’ve seen my more


    embarrassing side.”


    Maria didn’t want to dwell on the topic of how many wives one intended to have; after all, it was a


    personal matter.


    She shifted the topic, looking at the icy peak where Lilian and three other women were engaged in


    fiercebat with Master Barker. “Mr. Reed, aren’t you worried that your fiancées might get hurt by


    Master Barker?”


    “No need for concern, Ms. Gould,” Gilmore told her. “While Master Barker may be slightly more


    powerful than Lilian and herpanions individually.


    “But Lilian with herpanions, and only one of Master Barker Their teamwork is impable. He


    doesn’t stand a chance.”


    Seeing the resolve on Gilmore’s face, Maria couldn’t help but think internally, “Can Mr. Reed’s


    fiancées really defeat Master Barker?”


    Just as the thought crossed her mind, a scream echoed from the top of the icy peak, “Ahh!”


    Maria followed the sound and saw, atop the iceberg, Lilian and ire eachnding a palm strike on


    Master Barker’s back.


    Like a kite with its string cut, Master Barker was sent plummeting from the peak, down toward the


    seemingly bottomless chasm of the Bead Peak.


    Maria was stunned and said, “Mr. Reed was right. They defeated Master Barker!”
