Renshaw's Analysis

Those people who weren't backed by Sacred Grounds and returned alive were now one of the top cultivators of the Mortal World. They were sitting at the world's apex and were one of the ruling figures of the entire Mortal Realm.

But most of them were recruited by these Sacred Grounds. Only a minority of them who had self-confidence didn't join these Sacred Grounds. Even though they were top cultivators, people always paid more attention to those people who joined the Sacred Grounds.

But what exactly did they encounter within the Forbidden Grounds, what are the things to pay attention to, no one revealed it. The Union gave strict orders not to disclose any information related to the Forbidden Grounds. As for the reason why? They gave a reason.

Possession!

That's right. The Forbidden Grounds surely has secrets that will give opportunities for cultivators to become strong. But they also have many dangerous spots where people will be possessed by evil spirits and turn these cultivators into villains. They might become dangerous in the future.

The Union will thoroughly inspect any person who returns from these Forbidden Grounds. The people from the Union will monitor them and only when they are sure that nobody was possessed will be released.

But for the public's safety, the Union doesn't encourage people to go to the Forbidden Grounds. And going into the Forbidden Grounds like the Demonic Forbidden Grounds was prohibited.

"Um? Who are you?"

At that time, Timothy, The Elder of the Heavenly God Sect's attention fell on the Elder from the Dark Grimm Grotto. This person was not wearing the uniform of any of the Sacred Grounds. So who is he? And why is he here

The Elder From the Dark Grimm Grotto was inwardly shaken. He paid his respect first and then said, "Please forgive me, Your Excellencies. My name is Renshaw. I was just inspecting the changes in the forest. Encountering Your Excellencies was just a mere coincidence. I have no motive to cause any disturbance here."

Only when they heard this, the elders from the Sacred Grounds lowered their vigilance. Elder Timothy nodded his head and said, "You should not be here. Please leave."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency."

The Elder From the Dark Grimm Grotto named Renshaw said with full of respect. But he was extremely happy inwardly. The Dark Grimm Grotto was one of those rogue organizations which are on the Union's hit list.

So, these rogue organizations developed a habit of masking their presence when going out to conduct their businesses. So, even though The Elder From the Dark Grimm Grotto, Renshaw is someone who cultivates the Sin Cultivation Spirit, unless these top figures from the Sacred Grounds do some detailed scanning on him, they won't figure out his origins.

Moreover, the elders from the Sacred Grounds also sensed the changes in the forest they were in. So, they felt Elder Renshaw's reason was valid and logical. So, they didn't make an in-depth analysis of him.

On top of that, their concentration was mostly on the Demonic Forbidden Grounds which will appear very soon. So, they didn't care about the origins of The Elder From the Dark Grimm Grotto.

Timothy said, "You probably heard why we are here. Don't reveal our purpose to anyone. Or else, your future will be disastrous!"

As he said, an oppression power came out from Timothy which fell on Renshaw. Renshaw felt this overwhelming power and felt a chill rise in his heart. He then said, "Rest assured, Your Excellencies. I'm not foolish enough to do something like that. I won't put my life in danger."

Only then did Timothy's invisible pressure disappear. He said, "As long as you remember that. Now leave."

Renshaw bowed once again and then turned back. He left without saying anything. Only after he could no longer find them, did he feel assured. He took a series of long breaths. He engraved this experience deep in his heart. He felt as if he had come out alive from the Tiger's den.

"Elder, there you are. Finally, we met."

Just as he was about to relax, he heard his disciples' cries. He looked in the direction of the voice. He found his disciple who was looking at him as if he had seen his long-lost girlfriend. His eyes were full of tears of joy as if he had accomplished an impossible task.

Renshaw narrowed his eyes. He asked, "What happened?"

That disciple then explained what happened after his departure in detail. After hearing this, The Elder From the Dark Grimm Grotto was stunned for a while. It took him a while to recover from his shock. After recovering from his shock, his face turned ugly.

If what this disciple said is true, then that Elementary Stage cultivator might be very strong. He even sent someone like Hamilton flying. Hamilton is an expert who has the cultivation base of the 9th Level of the Physique Strengthening Stage. And yet, he was sent flying by a cultivator who was at the Elementary Stage?

No matter how he saw it, he felt that it was impossible for a cultivator in the Elementary Stage to even defeat a cultivator who is at the peak of the Physique Strengthening Stage.

Unless...

Suddenly a thought came to his mind. He was shaken. His face turned ugly. He asked, "Quickly tell me. What exactly that person look like? Most importantly, what kind of dress he wore? Tell me about everything you have observed."

The Elder From the Dark Grimm Grotto was shaken because he felt that for an Elementary Stage cultivator to have such strength, he had to be from one of the Sacred Grounds. On top of that, he had to be a top expert with multiple Cultivation Spirits.

And he just escaped from the mouth of the tigers from the Sacred Grounds. They were not far away from his location. And an expert in the Elementary Stage appeared in the forest who could fight against the peak of the Physique Strengthening Stage made him believe in his analysis.

He believed that Ethan might be an expert from one of the Sacred Grounds!

That's why he asked for Ethan's detailed description from his disciple.

The disciple was shaken when he saw his elder's face. He didn't know what kind of chaos his heart was in. He didn't give any thought and told Ethan's description. He told him everything he knew without leaving anything.

But from the description he got of Ethan, Renshaw didn't find anything that he could connect to the disciples from the Sacred Grounds.

He took a deep breath and said, "Call all the disciples back. We could no longer stay here. We have to leave immediately."
