Carson Flores blinked, looking bewildered. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"What is this fellow talking about? We’ve never met, have we?"

As soon as Carson said this, the faces of the people from the Abyssal Sect became quite interesting.

This kid actually doesn’t admit it?

Zarvian Woolery was about to speak, but the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Saelorin Simmons, Third Sect Leader of the Abyssal Sect. This must be Fellow Floating Cloud?"

Floating Cloud waved his hand, "That’s me. Please, everyone, have a seat and some tea!"

Saelorin and the others sat down in the guest seats, and a Church Disciple served tea for the guests.

Saelorin chuckled, "Congratulations on opening a new mountain gate of the Dragon Mountain Sect on Rising Dragon Island."

Floating Cloud didn’t bother with pleasantries and said boldly, "Let’s skip the small talk. You came empty-handed without any gifts, so it seems you didn’t come to congratulate our new mountain gate opening. Let’s cut to the chase. What do you want?"

Saelorin furrowed his brows. This Floating Cloud was quite assertive.

He glanced at Eldric James, who immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Fellow Floating Cloud, your disciple Carson Flores intruded on our Star River Island, the location of our Abyssal Sect, a few days ago. He kidnapped our sect disciple Niall Sinclair right in front of us. We demand an explanation."

Floating Cloud widened his eyes, as if hearing this for the first time, and turned to Carson, "Did you kidnap someone’s sect disciple?"

Carson looked aggrieved, "No, this is the first time I’ve seen them. If they hadn’t introduced themselves, I wouldn’t even know who they are."

Zarvian Woolery could no longer contain himself and stood up, angrily saying, "Carson, do you dare to do it but not admit it?"

Carson glared, speaking confidently, "I didn’t do it, so why should I admit it?"

Eldric James was extremely frustrated. He was the most affected by the whole situation since he had to bear the direct responsibility.

He originally thought that confronting Carson would leave him speechless, but he never expected Carson to outright deny it!

They deny it!

"Carson, stop playing dumb. You faced us, fought with us, and even our Sect Master killed one of your incarnations. You think that just because you didn’t reveal your identity, we can’t find out who you are?"

Carson feigned curiosity, "I’m also curious, how did you track me down? I’ve been at home minding my own business, and suddenly this blame falls on me, it’s totally baffling!"

Eldric James said coldly, "Lorvian Randall indeed didn’t reveal your identity and even deliberately covered for you, but I showed your image to people from the Sea God Sect, and they recognized you in an instant!"

"You helped Lorvian Randall with this matter and have no direct grudge against our Abyssal Sect. As long as you hand over Niall Sinclair, we can pretend this never happened!"

Carson realized, so they had traced it to the Sea God Sect, where someone recognized him.

Once, he visited the Sea God Sect camp and met most people there. Due to the Sea Tide Pearl incident, everyone knew his identity.

Thank goodness!

As long as they weren’t chasing after Niall Sinclair, that’s fine; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to accommodate her.

He couldn’t possibly let her stay in the Ethereal Pagoda forever.

Carson spread his hands, "You claim I kidnapped that Niall Sinclair right in front of you, and at your sect’s mountain gate. I want to ask, what is your capability and what is his?"

Carson had already decided on his approach. Only Eldric James and Zarvian Woolery from the Abyssal Sect had seen Carson, so if he didn’t admit anything, wouldn’t it be fine?

You say it’s me, so it’s me?

Where’s the evidence?

You claim I took Niall Sinclair away, so where is she?

Find her, then!

If you’re weaker than me, playing dumb won’t work, but if I’m not weaker than you, or even stronger, then what if I do play dumb?

Show your evidence!

If you can’t provide evidence, you’re slandering me!

What, do you think the Dragon Mountain Sect can’t take on your Abyssal Sect?

Do you want to spar?

Upon hearing this, Eldric James’s face immediately turned the color of pig liver. With everyone watching, he had no choice but to answer, "I’m a Superior Grade Great Land Supreme Immortal, and he’s a Great Land Profound Immortal Fifth Heaven..."

Carson blinked and asked again, "What is your Sect Master’s capability?"

Eldric James mostly understood the reason for Carson’s questioning and answered reluctantly, "Superior Grade Great Land Prime Immortal. You were too cunning, using incarnations to mislead us and making us chase the wrong person, allowing you to escape from elsewhere."

"Clap clap clap!"

Carson clapped his hands, laughing, "I actually managed to snatch someone right in front of a Superior Grade Great Land Supreme Immortal and a Great Land Profound Immortal Fifth Realm. And when a Superior Grade Great Land Prime Immortal pursued me, I still escaped easily... My goodness, I didn’t even know I was this powerful!"

After a slight pause, Carson added, "Oh, right, I just broke through to the Realm of the Mystic Elephant today. The whole island saw me undergoing Heavenly Tribulation. I’ve been busy with enlightenment and breakthroughs lately; where would I find the time to run around... Do you believe someone at the Illusion-Breaking Realm could do all this?"
