Chapter 1417 Hostility


    Although the Free Pce was a force to be reckoned with, it still showed immense respect towards the


    Helian n. They even went so far as to give up the southeastern area they had upied earlier to


    the Helian n.


    The reason for this treatment was simple. Many powerful warriors of the Free Pce were independent


    cultivators, and because of the Free Pce''s rtionship with the Helian n, these warriors were


    more likely to be invited elders of the Helian n.


    The invited elders of the Helian n held a high position and had status beyond others.


    They could have their weapons cast for free and could also make use of the rich cultivation resources


    provided by the Helian n. In the entirety of the four continents, the Short Human tribe was said to


    have the richest and the most advanced cultivation resources.


    All those resources were made avable to them as long as they helped the younger generation of the


    Helian n in their cultivation and also swore to protect the safety of the Helian n to a certain


    extent.


    This was because the Short Human Tribe was not adept in cultivation.


    Therefore, they were willing to provide the cultivation resources to the invited elders who stayed loyal to


    them.


    The cities in the territory of the Helian n were usually bustling. Some came to cast weapons, some


    came to observe the casting and wanted toprehend something in the casting conception, and


    some who were casting lovers came to worship the Short Human tribe because of their amazing


    casting skills.


    Apart from the usual crowd, the Helian n''s invited geniuses from various casting forces to attend the


    castingpetition made the cities more lively than normal.


    High in the sky, many airships were making their way to the cities, carrying masters from famous


    casting forces in the interior region. They were arriving with their own geniuses to attend the


    It was the hot topic of the warriors in every city at the moment.


    asionally, some of them would also mention Wayne, and that he was Ricky''s apprentice.


    As soon as Ricky and Amelia arrived, the two of them entered the Massacring Zone and immediately


    sensed Wayne''s aura, hoping to meet Wayne in secret.


    Unfortunately, he was imprisoned in a remote pce which was being guarded strictly with powerful


    restrictions. Even though Ricky had activated the Massacring Zone, he still couldn''t enter the pce


    without anyone noticing.


    "It seems like the Helian n has yet to make a final decision on Wayne because of the status of his


    grandfather. Obviously, they would settle the matter as soon as thepetition is over," said Amelia.


    "That seems to be the case. I have to defeat all the casting geniuses of the Helian n in this


    apprenticeship under me."


    "It''s going to be extremely hard. The top geniuses of the Helian n are said to possess the strongest


    casting talent in all four continents," said the Dragon Intent Grass.


    "Anyway, try your best."


    "Hmm. I wonder if any of their younger generation''s geniuses has reached the Sage Level."


    Rocky looked grim. "If any of them has reached the Sage Level, things will be really troublesome


    for us," he said, sighing heavily.


    This time, in addition to the casting forces, the Helian n had also invited saints from top forces as


    guests to watch the castingpetition.


    The Helian n held these castingpetitions to show off their casting skills to these top forces.


    And once these top forces personally witnessed the high casting skills of the Short Human tribe, they


    would automatically show respect to the tribe.


    Naturally, the saints of the Misty South Pce were invited as well.


    This time, the saint who hade on behalf of the Misty South Pce was Kolton.


    He was definitely one of the top among the great saints. Hundreds of years ago, he had reached the


    ''Kolton is pretty famous and is a powerful great saint from the Misty South Pce. I hope he can speak


    for me when the timees.'' Ricky hoped.


    Although he had arrived in the city earlier than most, Ricky didn''t show up until the day before the


    castingpetition began. By this time, most geniuses from other casting forces had already


    registered.


    The registration counter was situated in the main city square.


    As soon as Ricky appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.


    "Isn''t that Ricky? White-haired Ricky?"


    "Yes! With that signature white hair, there''s no mistaking it."


    "How arrogant is this guy? Even at a time like this, he has dared to step into the main city of the Helian


    n."


    "He has always been arrogant, otherwise he wouldn''t have epted Wayne as his disciple."


    "But it is true that he has extraordinary casting ability. ording to news from the Misty South Pce,


    he can condense the furnace with his strength and even refine the casting materials at the Demi-sage


    Level."


    "I have heard it as well. They say that he seeds in a single casting, and the weapon he cast is


    perfect."


    "Is he participating in thepetition as well?"


    "Since he is here now, it''s very likely!"


    "Let''s see how the Helian n will react."


    Ricky, on the other hand, merely turned a deaf ear to the murmurs around him and headed straight to


    the registration counter in the square.


    But before he could reach the counter, he was surrounded by disciples of the Short Human tribe.


    "Are you Ricky?" one of them asked fiercely.


    "I am," Ricky answered in a low tone. "This is not the hospitality I was expecting. Are you stopping me


    from signing up?"


    "Ha ha! What a joke. You don''t deserve to be our guest!" another disciple of the Short Human tribe


    sneered. "You humiliated our tribe."


    "Even though you are a core disciple of the Misty South Pce, you will not be able to leave so easily


    this time."


    "Oh. So, that''s how it is. But you know, although Wayne is my disciple, we are more like friends..."


    Ricky tried to exin.


    He really didn''t want to sh with the Helian n outside thepetition.


    "Also, I have your invitation here. ording to the rules of the Helian n, anyone, even the devils,


    can participate in the castingpetition as long as they have an invitation,"


    Ricky said as he took out the invitation and held it up for the disciples to see.


    At the sight of the invitation in Ricky''s hand, the disciples'' eyes went wide in shock. They looked at


    each other in obvious confusion. As far as they knew, none from their tribe gave Ricky any invitation.


    But what Ricky said was urate. The Helian n indeed stipted that anyone who had the


    invitation could participate in thepetition.

    However, their hatred for Ricky exceeded theirpliance with the rules.


    "Humph! Even if the invitation is real, it''s quite obvious that you stole it from another warrior."


    "Arrest him! Take him to the leader!"


    As soon as the words were spoken, several disciples of the Short Human tribe took their stance to fight


    against Ricky and Amelia.


    If Ricky was not backed by the Misty South Pce, they would have killed him on the spot.


    Ricky sighed. At this point, he had no choice but to meet them head-on.


    "Looks like it was just Ricky''s wishful thinking that he could ever participate in thepetition," the


    warriors around himmented.


    "Yes, if it weren''t for the fact that he is a core disciple of the Misty South Pce, the Helian n would


    have ughtered him right here, instead of arresting him."


    "Either way, this is going to be a good show.


    I heard that Kolton of the Misty South Pce is here as well."


    Ricky was helpless. He did not want to cause a mess, but he could not stand still and wait to be


    arrested either.


    "You guys, step back!" an old voice called out at that moment, drawing everyone''s attention.
