Chapter 2502: Chapter 2502: Betraying the Master

From the moment Casey Three entered the sect, Faust Beaumont had been on guard against this young man.

He was an old fox, having seen too many people.

In Faust Beaumont’s heart, Casey Three was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

However, what troubled Faust Beaumont was that Casey Three had extraordinary talent. Such a disciple, if well managed, was definitely a sharp sword that could save him a lot of trouble.

For decades, Casey Three was indeed under control.

In the face of Faust Beaumont’s absolute power, this man with enmity could only submit.

However, Faust Beaumont wielded both kindness and authority, using his power to continuously intimidate surrounding disciples on one hand, while also promoting Casey Three, allowing him to gradually enjoy power.

Certain people indeed have greed, but smart people know that everything they have now is bound to Faust Beaumont.

The glory of the present is something only Faust Beaumont can give.

Once Faust Beaumont is gone, no one will submit to Casey Three, and in-fighting would render Casey Three’s position absolutely insecure.

Because above Casey Three, there was also a genius eccentric, Isaak Ridge.

However, Faust Beaumont underestimated Casey Three.

People’s greed can sometimes blind the eyes and the heart.

From the moment Casey Three slaughtered his whole family, he never regarded any Inner Sect Disciple with importance.

Faust Beaumont was just a stepping stone. His goal was never to become the Sect Leader, but to rule the world!

Only by sitting in the position of the Sect Leader could one enjoy limitless resources and learn countless classics.

However, due to the emergence of Lotus Shadow, Casey Three made his move prematurely.

Lotus Shadow was too powerful, but only Faust Beaumont and Isaak Ridge had learned its secrets.

Casey Three once proposed to learn but was tactfully refused by Faust Beaumont.

According to this trend, the gap between Casey Three, Faust Beaumont, and Isaak Ridge would only widen.

Thus, Casey Three decided to take action.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, calmly playing the flute.

The young disciple who just attacked from behind was his trusted aide.

Despite having apprenticed under Faust Beaumont for decades, Casey Three had quietly developed quite a few loyal followers.

All this was very secretive, so it had never been discovered.

The previous strike was meticulously planned.

The blade carried the Casey Family’s secret technique, Golden Snake Dance.

The scriptures handed over to Faust Beaumont back then did not include this most mysterious book of the Casey Family.

As a result, Faust Beaumont had no idea Casey Three had this skill!

As the flute music rose and fell, even Faust Beaumont, who had trained in Lotus Shadow, could not withstand the unbearably itchy pain, his body writhing like a snake!

"You damn beast! You betray your teacher and ancestors!" Faust Beaumont roared, flicking his finger forward!

Crack!

A blast of Spiritual Energy pierced through, shattering the flute!

Casey Three’s mouth was full of blood, but his eyes still held a bloodthirsty intent to kill.

He didn’t retreat; instead, he drew the weapon from his waist and charged forward!

"Overestimating yourself!" Faust Beaumont took a deep breath, circulating his inner Spiritual Power to suppress the unbearably itchy effect.

Faced with the oncoming Casey Three, he sternly ordered, "Go at him, kill this traitor!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Thunk!

But next.

A knife once again stabbed into Faust Beaumont’s back!

"You!"

Smack!

Faust Beaumont swung his palm, directly striking down the disciple who made the move.

He widened his eyes, completely unable to understand why the disciple who just reported to him suddenly attacked!

Could it be all an act?

"Faust Beaumont, you’ve long lost the people’s support."

Casey Three laughed wildly, wielding his broken blade towards him!

Despite being injured, his movements remained incredibly agile!

"You’ve been hiding your strength, feigning weakness all along." Faust Beaumont kicked forward with his right foot, knocking the dagger out of Casey Three’s hand, then landed a punch on Casey Three’s shoulder!

Casey Three was hurled away heavily and stood up once again!

"Kill him, and there will be heavy rewards!" Faust Beaumont looked cautiously at the disciples behind him.

He didn’t believe everyone had betrayed him.

Casey Three couldn’t possibly have such capability.

But his previous negligence indeed cost him dearly.

"If you don’t act now, you’ll lose your chance." Casey Three panted heavily, looking at the Nether Phantom.

The reason he decided to act today was seeing the Nether Phantom’s skills in the teahouse.

With someone restraining Faust Beaumont, he dared to take premature action.

"Alright." The Nether Phantom, having regained his freedom, reached forward with both hands, forcibly tearing open the surrounding Formation!

"Silence!"

The Nether Phantom chanted spells softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Spiritual Powers began to gather around Faust Beaumont, binding him like ropes.

The Nether Phantom did not deliver the killing blow to Faust Beaumont because he suspected there was a being like himself within Faust Beaumont.

If Faust Beaumont lived, that entity could only briefly control Faust Beaumont’s body under extreme conditions.

But if Faust Beaumont died, that entity could occupy Faust Beaumont’s body without any resistance.

If true, an ancient deity controlling the body of a modern Great Grandmaster was terrifying any way you think about it.

As the Spiritual Power continued to gather, Faust Beaumont found himself unable to move!

"All of you listen, Faust Beaumont is now a trapped creature. Anyone who moves, dies!"

The Nether Phantom took the initiative.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, those martial artists loyal to Faust Beaumont began to waver.

They noticed that Faust Beaumont really couldn’t move.

But a few extremely loyal ones were ready to attack.

"Die!"

The Nether Phantom acted decisively.

He made a grab!

Those few fell immediately, dead as can be.

"Ha! Fortune’s wheel turns, Faust Beaumont, to hell with your righteousness!" Casey Three picked up his blade, swiftly charging forward!

Tears filled his eyes, and his laughter was unrestrained!

"Stop!" The Nether Phantom called out at once, even prepared to kill Casey Three.

After all, it made no difference; it was the same killing anyone.

If Faust Beaumont died, things would become troublesome.

Yet he was ultimately a step too slow.

Or perhaps Casey Three was simply too fast!

Hatred and long-suppressed anger made him unleash all his power!

A broken blade pierced through the garments, stabbing into Faust Beaumont’s chest!

"Faust Beaumont! Disciple Casey Three sends the Master on his way today!" Casey Three shouted, veins popping on his face.

He knelt on one knee, clenched both fists, and bent his body.

Thud!

Faust Beaumont’s body slumped over Casey Three’s back, with blood continuously flowing from his mouth and chest.

"You..." He suddenly laughed, blood staining his teeth.

"Casey Three, you truly are something..." Faust Beaumont exerted his energy to lift his head, slowly pointing at the Nether Phantom.

His mouth gaping, yet he couldn’t speak.

He couldn’t believe someone could trap him!

And perfectly counter his learned Lotus Shadow!

"The Beaumont Family... won’t let you off..." Faust Beaumont used his last ounce of strength, producing Lotus Shadow with a fierce throw!

In the air, a mist of blood erupted.

Lotus Shadow vanished.

Faust Beaumont’s head slumped down, eyes wide open.

No breath remained.
