The solemn-looking Elder Lo in the middle nodded before his stern gaze swept forth as he said in a low voice, "Since you've chosen Alchemic Rune Peak, all of you will be disciples of Alchemic Rune Peak from today onwards.
I'll not waste any time. Our Alchemic Rune Peak's outer part currently only has two teaching elders, one for runes and one for alchemy. In accordance with the rules, the disciples may choose who to follow."
The place fell silent as the numerous disciples secretly began to size up the two elders while their gazes flickered in thought, clearly weighing their options.
While they sorted their thoughts in silence, a figure suddenly walked out from behind Elder Sonk. It was a golden belt disciple that gave off a sharp and formidable presence, pride visible in his eyes.
His gaze swept across all the disciples before he faintly smiled and said, "I am Distio, and I would like to tell my fellow junior disciples that we have come to Alchemic Rune Peak from Blood Slaughterer Peak bearing the heavy task of reviving the peak. It is an important mission that Alchemic Rune Peak has yet to fulfil after many years, so it has now fallen on our shoulders.
If any of my juniors wish to take on this important task with us, you should join Elder Sonk's faction."
As his words spread, the disciples of Elder Lo began to stir, anger appearing on the faces of many of them. Distio's words were too obviously aimed at them.
Elder Lo glanced at Elder Sonk and indifferently said, "Your disciple's words are truly akin to a sword, no mercy at all."
The Budha-looking elder Sonk laughed as he nonchalantly replied, "They are from Blood Slaughterer Peak after all, and are naturally direct and straightforward, never hiding their blades. I hope that Elder Lo will not take offence."
Lo coldly snorted inside but knew that he should not push the topic.
After all, it had been the supreme leader and the other peak masters' decision to send disciples to Alchemic Rune Peak. He too was rather helpless with regard to this, because Alchemic Rune Peak had indeed never succeeded after so many years on its own.
If the Alchemic Rune Peak chief disciple position was to land in the hands of his faction, then our peak would be a peak for just name.
Lo looked towards Sonk, only to see the latter helplessly shake his head.
Alchemic Rune Peak was after all unable to match the other six peaks. All the better disciples would be taken away by the other six peaks, naturally leading to them growing stronger and stronger, while the Alchemic Rune Peak disciples lagged further and further behind. Even though they buy pills and medicines from Myriad Miracle Tower, they need talented men to revive alchemy.
While they were speaking, Distio's words had already begun to work their magic. Most of the new disciples here had been forcibly allocated to Alchemic Rune Peak, and were thus naturally overjoyed to see Elder Sonk's faction that came from Blood Slaughterer Peak. The Blood Slaughterer Peak was, after all, one of the most popular choices amongst the outer mountain disciples.
As such, the disciples stirred for a bit, before nearly half of them began to flood towards Distio.
The sight of this caused the expressions of the disciples from the other faction to turn a little ugly.
The cold, arrogant young lady called Aily clenched her teeth, seething as she viciously glared at the disciples that had moved and angrily said, "A bunch of favour-currying fellows! Joined as soon as they heard the name of Blood Slaughterer Peak!"
It seemed there were inner quarrels as well in Elder Sonk's faction.
A pleased smile was revealed on Distio's face at the sight of this before he turned to the remaining disciples on the plaza. These disciples stood behind Ezra Zephyr, evidently waiting for him to make his decision. Amongst them were two who belonged to the Naran continent.
One was Gill Subzi who wanted to become an alchemist and the other was, surprisingly, Cen Zutton. He told Ezra that he has learnt some small imprints in his household and Ezra requested Master Antero to send him to Alchemic Rune Peak.
After all, Ezra was the champion of the peak selection ceremony and possessed a degree of influence. Seeing that he had yet to choose, the other disciples also decided to observe for the time being.
Distio's gaze swept across Ezra Zephyr, an unknown light flashing in his eyes before he looked towards Lopap, the purple belt disciple.
The latter's eyes cracked open slightly and cast an indifferent glance at Ezra. However, Lopap did not speak, merely nodding towards Distio.
Distio chuckled upon seeing this before he turned to Ezra and said, "This junior brother must be the champion of this batch's peak selection ceremony. I've long heard of your famous name. Our Elder Sonk also rather admires you, and although you only managed to by some fluke take first place from junior brother Drake Tubble, given how open-minded Elder Sonk is, he will naturally do his best to guide you if you join his faction."
His tone was rather provocative, seemingly not caring much about the so-called champion of the peak selection ceremony. Instead, it felt as if it was Ezra's fortune to be given the chance to join them.
It was all that Ezra needed, deep in his heart his sinister spirit laughed. The prince could see the painful death of this idiotic blabber in future.
Distio unaware of Ezra's intentions grinned as he stared at Ezra. "What do you think about your senior brother's words? Do you want to join Elder Sonk's imprint faction?"
At this moment, Elder Lo cast his gazes over.
Behind him, the numerous disciples, including Mubarak and even Aily also looked over. They had evidently also heard that the champion of the ceremony had chosen to go to Alchemic Rune Peak.
This was a very rare occurrence.
Under the numerous watching gazes, Ezra smiled at Distio and said, "There are as many talented geniuses as the clouds learning imprints under Elder Sonk, and being able to join them is indeed an honour."
