Silence descended on the entire sect as the youths and surrounding crowd listened to the Elders words in stunned silence. They had all heard the Elder's words, but none of them dared to believe it.
Mason's face was stunned at the Elder's words as well, as he never imagined such a thing was possible. After many seconds of silence, Mason finally managed to regain his composure.
"Elder, surely such a thing is impossible...are you sure he didn't cheat, or that you are mistaken?" Mason asked, trying to find a hole in the Elders story.
He refused to believe that John was able to slay a beast an entire minor realm above his cultivation. Fighting against an opponent was one thing, but killing them was several times harder.
Many in the crowd nodded in agreement, as they too believed such a thing was impossible.
The Elder in charge narrowed his eyes as he stared at Mason.
