SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 106: Lone warrior in the Desolate Path

Early morning… Far away from Golden Bamboo City. The surroundings are still covered in darkness and the Guardian Sun still slumbering on the edge.

The Fire Kirin, which is carrying Kent and Lucy, approached the Eternal Sun Sect. From the skies, Kent is curiously observing the distant peaks of the Eternal Sun sect. While Kent is listening, Lucy pointed her finger towards the Eternal Sun sect and explained to him about different peaks.

The Eternal Sun sect spread over a desolate valley that stretched hundreds of miles. Five peaks rose up into the skies, separated by vast plains. The entire sect spread from west to east, starting from the Falling Sun peak in the west, the burning sun peak in the center, and the rising sun peak in the far east.

Along with these three, Healing Sun Peak and Beast abode peak are situated on either side of Burning Sun Peak.

"Kent, why waste time by going to a rising sun peak? Any elder from Burning Sun Peak will recruit you without a second thought." Lucy said in a sulking tone while holding his chin.

"I already said that if things don't work with that Grand Elder Porus, I will automatically choose the burning sun sect. So, stop pampering me." Kent replied, holding Lucy's palm.

"Hmmhh… You really are stubborn. You will only suffer by meeting that drunken elder. Go… go…" Lucy spoke while putting on an angry face.

While they were quarreling like newlyweds, the Fire Kirin reached close to the entrance of the Eternal Sun sect.

"Let's descend now. Only grand elders were allowed to fly on sect grounds." Lucy said while pointing her finger at the giant entrance gate, which is almost five times the height of Kent.

As they approached closer and closer, Kent saw several people lining up at the entrance of the sect. Unlike the surroundings, the sect entrance is bustling with rows of shops, general residences, street vendors, and a few inns.

Without getting down from the pets, everyone is waiting in a single line with adequate distance. After descending, Kent directly joined the line. More than a hundred disciples were standing at the gate, and some of them took on the duty of verification.

Almost everyone's eyes turned towards Kent as the Fire Kirin breathed fire. Some people stared enviously as they gazed at Kent, who was accompanied by beauty and a powerful pet.

"Lucy, why do these people look like sect disciples? What happened to servants?" Kent asked with a puzzled face.

"They are really sect disciples. The savants will only work for the masters and grand masters of the sect. Even elders have to perform their own carrying work. Along with training, the sect disciples need to perform servant activities on a schedule. Even core disciples don't have any exception." Lucy replied while waving at a disciple who recognized her.

Soon, Kent's turn came. As they approached the entrance, the sect disciple asked for the identity token. While Lucy showed her disciple token, Kent showed the letter, which contained the wax seal of the Autumn Wind sect.

"Which peak did you get recommended to?" The disciple asked while noting down Kent's entry.

"Rising sun peak," Kent replied without thinking much.

The disciple suddenly lifted his head and stared at Kent's face with a weird look. "Please answer correctly... which peak you got recommended to?" The disciple asked again, preparing to note it down.

As Kent replied the same, the disciple put down an ink brush and stared at Kent angrily. "Are you playing with me?"

But before the disciple lashes out, Lucy intervenes. "He is speaking truth. My friend is new to this city and doesn't know about the sect background. But I can confirm that he is recommended for the Rising Sun Peak. If you have any doubts, you can check the letter by breaking the wax seal." Lucy replied with a serious look.

Afraid of offending the elder who passed that recommendation, the disciple noted down Kent's name and purpose.

"Ms. Lucy, you know the rules. Without purpose, you can't visit other peaks. This young man has to travel alone to the rising sun peak." The disciple added while giving back the disciple token to Lucy.

"You don't need to teach me rules." Lucy smirked and turned towards Kent. Understanding her gaze, Kent placed his hand on Fire Kirin, which began racing inside.

The disciple took out his sky orb and captured the visuals of leaving Fire Kirin. Handing his duty to someone, he worked on his sky orb, posting the picture with a ground-breaking title in the sect forum. After seeing the Rising Sun peak name, opinions flowed as disciples made funny comments below the post.

Zi Chen, who had already reached the sect last night, instantly recognized the person mentioned in the post as he stared at the leaving back of Fire Kirin in his glass orb.

The paths were very wide and lined with colourful rocks. As flying is banned, the Fire Kirin is running with blazing fires along the path. Like a racing horse, its hooves make a rhythmic noise. All the disciples moved to the side, afraid of the blazing fires of Fire Kirin.

At first they reached the Falling Sun peak. As they have nothing to do with this peak, Kent turned the Fire Kirin towards the side path. As they reached the burning sun peak, the Fire Kirin turned towards the right side path.

Each peak is separated by miles, but the Fire Kirin took a few moments to cross each peak. As they approached the beast abode peak, the Fire Kirin slowed down. Lucy got down at the entrance of the beast abode peak.

According to sect rules, Kent is not allowed to ascend the beast abode peak. With a sad face, Lucy explained the path to the rising sun peak. After hugging Kent, she began ascending the beast abode peak on her white swan.

After passing a short distance from the beast abode peak, the atmosphere completely changed. The wide path is littered with a thick layer of dried leaves. The surrounding trees grow unhindered.

In some places, Kent got down from his pet to clear out the branches. The path seemed like a no-man's land.

What Kent didn't know is that, since last decade, no one has used that path. Irritated by the thorny bushes and trees stood in the middle of the path, Kent took out his bow to clear the path with his arrows.
