The same emotions as Xavier were shared by other Clan masters as well. Especially Miller. He was depressed to the point where he didn't know what else he needed to do. He was in his own fantasy all this time. He was sure that Bruce will become the champion of this competition and will participate in the Royal capital's competition.
Once he entered the headquarters as a core disciple, then the future of his branch will be immense. The amount of funds they will receive for producing such a genius will be very high.
Of course, just as Arjun said, he knew that Bruce was the descendant of the Scott Clan. The Heavenly Raven Sect really destroyed the Scott clan with the help of Smith Clan.
Despite all this, he truly loved Bruce. He tried many indirect ways for Bruce to let go of his grudge against the people who killed his clan. After all, it will be no good for Bruce and his sect. Things are looking very good for both of them.
But Bruce was so obsessed with his revenge to the point where sometimes he was scared once Bruce learned the truth, what will be the future of the Raven Sect?
In fact, after seeing what kind of a monstrous genius Bruce became, the same thoughts were running through the minds of the elders and sect master of the Heavenly Raven Sect.
They actually wanted to wait till Bruce awakened his bloodline power. But after looking at how Bruce not only failed to awaken his bloodline power, but also after looking at his growth, the fear started to grow within the minds of the Heavenly Raven Sect.
So when Bruce wanted to go to the Heavenly Raven Sect as a Core disciple, they did whatever they can to stop him. And hence they created this strict rules for him ahead of competition.
If Bruce managed to win the spot for the competition in the royal capital, then he had to meet the real geniuses. But the most important thing is that, in the competition that will take place in the Royal capital, killing is absolutely not prohibited.
Since Bruce will meet the geniuses in the Royal Capital, he will have no chance of survival since killing was sure in the competition. The competition in the Royal Capital was very high. The geniuses were always competing against each other for the first seat of the world.
Of course, in front of the geniuses from the Smith and Wagner Clan, they were nothing. But they still had the slight chance if they put more effort. After all, nothing is certain in the cultivation world.
"You did a great job, Bruce." ,Miller sighed and said, "It was not your fault that you met someone like Arjun. Initially I thought that you are wasting your time by trying to cross path with Arjun. But sooner or later you both would have confronted each other for winning passes."
Bruce remained silent. He did not speak anything. A silently looked at Miller. No one knew what exactly Bruce was thinking. But if one could see within his heart and learn what was going through his mind, then people would be horrified.
Bruce was actually radiating immense killing intent towards Miller. But he knew that this is not the right time to make his act.
He needs to wait. He had to wait until he learned the Greater Dao and made advancement in his Mental Energy. Only then he could make his move on both Heavenly Raven Sect and the Smith Clan.
He shook his head and said, "I am sorry, master! I couldn't defeat him and live upto your expectations. I failed you."
"Don't worry. It's not your fault. His Greater Dao is really formidable." ,Miller said while looking in the direction where Arjun was standing. His face immediately filled with greed as he said, "Today he might have the power to be arrogant. But it won't be long. Let him enjoy. Within couple of minutes, he will be forced to handover the method for Greater Dao to our headquarters."
When he said this, all the people from the Raven Sect smiled inwardly. They already the Heavenly Raven Sect about the events that happened here. They told them when Jimmy revealed about his ancestral belongings which were in Jimmy's possession. The very same ancestor who was Zofra's master from the Celestial Realm.
Zofra's master. And the name of the Upper World which happened to have the name Celestial Realm instantly attracted the greed of the headquarters.
But the Eagle Clan and the Golden Fox Sect were not slow either. All of them realised the gravity behind this issue. It was absolutely important for all of them to have this treasure in their possession. So they sent the large army in order to make sure that the mission was successful.
All this happened a while ago. Within one week they should be here. So no one made their way to find any trouble with Arjun. The time will naturally come for them to act. Only then they will act.
Dorian sighed. He said, "What a mess. All this time we thought that there was som le kind of hidden master behind Jimmy. But we never thought that the reason behind the disappearance of our Judgement team wad not because of some hidden master behind Jimmy. But it was actually Arjun who had that kind of power. If we had known this, then we would have been an extra careful with our plans."
Miller shook his head and said, "None of us could be blamed for this. This Arjun is immensely powerful. Even I doubt that I could defeat him in terms of skills. I think I could barely keep up with him due to my high cultivation base."
Everyone remained silent. No one dared to speak. Even if their second Master was feeling this helpless against Arjun, then what exactly they were meant to be? All this time, they thought that they were underestimating Arjun. But after hearing about their sect master said, they felt that the level of their underestimation was very low.
Raven Sect had always been arrogant. But for the first time they felt this helpless against some bunch of barbarians.
All these people were already depressed. Their morale was completely low. Their self confidence had taken a huge blow. This is the reason why both Dorian and Miller thought that they should not make things difficult for their disciples who were already low in confidence.
After all, they were wondering what will happen to their disciples if they revealed about Jimmy who happened to be the grandmaster! They don't even dare to imagine the outcome!
