Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 627: Chapter 389: Holy Heaven_1

The guard was startled for a moment, a hint of apprehension in his gaze, before he regained his composure, “Even the Saint Sky Sect must abide by the rules given the complex situation in the Central Region.”

“So it’s ‘drink the toast or drink the forfeit,’ hm?” Peregrine Azure was already quite angry. Previously, in the entire Central Region, no one dared to offend the Saint Sky Sect; merely hearing the name would invoke fear. And now, he, a lofty Vice Sect Leader, was actually being stopped?

What’s more, it happened in front of Logan, which was a huge embarrassment. Just before, he had boasted to Logan that the Saint Sky Sect was one of the five famous orthodox sects of the Central Region, how prestigious the sect was. Now, he felt like he had been slapped in the face, and he simply couldn’t step down with grace.

In his fury, Peregrine Azure launched an attack, and the guard captain, who was only in the Dominator Realm, couldn’t withstand the blow from a Quasi-Saint. He was sent flying dozens of meters away, and Peregrine Azure stepped forward, preparing to end the man’s life personally.

At that moment, a voice rang out, “Senior Peregrine Azure, please show mercy. This subordinate of mine doesn’t know any better and only sticks to the rules. I apologize for him.”

A middle-aged man bowed respectfully, which caused Peregrine Azure to stay his hand, snorting coldly, “You are the City Lord of this city?”

“Indeed, it is I,” the man bowed again and continued, “I’m aware that the Teleportation Array is for public use, but given the recent complex situation in the entire Central Region, I had no choice but to do this, to prevent Demon Path individuals from causing trouble in the Central Region. I wouldn’t dare to be an enemy of the Saint Sky Sect.”

“Although the Demon Path is rampant recently, the Saint Sky Sect is still one of the top five famous orthodox sects. Do not think that the Saint Sky Sect will fall into trouble. Better educate your subordinates properly. I can let it pass this time, but there won’t be mercy for a next time.”

Peregrine Azure waved his hand, not wishing to argue further. He was in a hurry to return to the Saint Sky Sect—why bother squabbling with insignificant people?

The City Lord nodded again and again. Their city was indeed struggling to survive; offending any power in the Central Region was beyond their capacity, especially since the strongest in the entire city was only a Semi-Saint, while there were as many as a hundred Quasi-Saint Powerhouses in the Central Region.

“Please,” the City Lord used his Divine Skill to activate the Teleportation Array, “To offer you an apology, I will cover the cost of ten thousand Spirit Stones for this transportation. I hope you can be magnanimous.”

“That’s enough. The Saint Sky Sect isn’t a sect that bullies others; we’re not so petty,” Peregrine Azure said, finally sweeping away his sullen mood, and stepped into the Teleportation Array with Logan and Bart Cloud.

As a burst of light flashed, the three of them vanished. The disgruntled guard captain couldn’t understand—hadn’t he simply been following the orders of the City Lord? Why was it his fault? Besides, the Saint Sky Sect was in trouble itself now.

“Still don’t understand? Can’t you learn to read the room a bit more? Which of those three can a mere guard like you afford to offend? Peregrine Azure, as the Vice Sect Leader of the Saint Sky Sect, is already a Quasi-Saint, and if I hadn’t stepped in, you would already be on your way to Hell.”

The City Lord, frustrated as if he could not forge steel from iron, scolded further, “And you don’t understand the situation in the Western Wasteland either. I’ve already received firsthand news that the Western Wasteland Demonic Sky Gate that wished to take over the Western Wasteland and the Central Region with the prestige of the Holy See no longer exists; even its Sanctuary Powerhouse has fallen, with the shadow of the Saint Sky Sect behind it.”

“Do you think Peregrine Azure appeared in our city for no reason? He must have just returned from the Western Wasteland, and now he will start to resolve the chaos in the Central Region. Those Demonic Path Schools in the Central Region won’t be able to remain arrogant for long. Offending the Saint Sky Sect now, count how many lives you have!”

“Not… really?” The guard captain gasped, incredulous: “The Demonic Sky Gate is gone? All this seems too sudden. Previously, to everyone’s view, the forces of the entire Western Wasteland wouldn’t last long and would be taken down by the Demonic Sky Gate within a day or two.”

“Believe it or not, it’s the truth,” the City Lord said, his gaze deep, continuing to educate, “This is good news, after all. A reputable orthodox sect like the Saint Sky Sect follows the rules, and if the Demon Path took over the Central Region, our city too would fall into misery and widespread tribulation.”

“City Lord, I was wrong!” The guard captain was finally convinced, bowing his head, now realizing how foolish he had been just before. Indeed, he would have normally shown the utmost respect to the Saint Sky Sect, but his recent contempt arose from the belief that the sect was in jeopardy.

The City Lord patted the guard on the shoulder, speaking righteously, “Remember, you can’t afford to offend people. Peregrine Azure is scary, but the young man by his side can’t be offended even more so.”

The City Lord had been observing all along. He noticed that the young man remained calm throughout, and Peregrine Azure seemed to care a great deal about Logan’s reaction. There had been recent rumors that the Demonic Sky Gate in the Western Wasteland was destroyed by a young man’s array, and it was very likely that it was the same person from before.

The Teleportation Array was very fast; in less than half an hour, the three of them had traveled over a hundred miles and arrived near the territories of the Saint Sky Sect.

Peregrine Azure let out a sigh of relief, wearing a faint smile, “We can rest easy now that we are here. We are definitely safe; at least for now, no power has dared to cause trouble at the Saint Sky Sect.”

“Vice Sect Leader, welcome back!” A guard by the array showed a smile, and soon, hundreds of guards rushed over. The safe return of the Vice Sect Leader implied that the Western Wasteland issue was resolved, which was definitely good news.
