Tug of War

Dyon's expression immediately became very serious. Even with his soul, it seemed he wasn't able to see something a dao formation expert wanted to hide. If that wasn't the case, he would have seen Elder Nova's true cultivation long ago.

'He's too close to me.' Dyon's mind went into overdrive. He didn't have the time to confirm whether or not Elder Nova was an enemy. For all he knew, Elder Nova was a man left behind by the Energy Path to ensure that Soul Rending Peak never rose again.

It made perfect sense too. If Elder Nova was meant to be a guardian for Soul Rending Peak, why would he be stationed at Unseen Peak?

It had to be remembered that Slaughter Peak was the Peak controlled by the Caedes family. That was why it so easily fell under the control of The Cathedral.

However, Unseen Peak was the Peak formerly controlled by the Jafari family.
