Chapter 636: Chapter 393 Cang He_2
The leaders of the sects quieted everyone down and continued, “Fellow Sect Leaders, there’s no need to wait, just execute Peregrine Azure now as a sacrifice. Afterwards, let’s all return to our respective sects and gather all of our disciples. Tomorrow, at first light, we’ll split our forces into five groups and wipe out the Saint Sky Sect and the other four sects.”
“Reorganize Central Region, seize resources!” Someone shouted, and all the Sect Leaders joined in, their morale reaching its peak at that moment, their previous fear seemingly vanished as they began to eagerly imagine how many resources they could divide among themselves.
Especially for the smaller sects, they didn’t covet much, even a mere Spiritual Stone Vein would be enough for their sect to develop.
Barely clinging to life, Peregrine Azure was on the high platform when a man carrying a large saber approached, while over a hundred Sect Leaders watched this scene, treating Peregrine Azure as a scapegoat for all of Saint Sky Sect’s accusations and scorn, even throwing garbage at him as if he were the embodiment of sin.
Peregrine Azure, severely wounded, faced this scene with terrifying calmness and swept a disdainful gaze over the crowd, “The actions you take today will certainly come at a cost in the future!”
“Will they? They won’t!” Everyone sneered in contempt, spitting in his direction, “Don’t worry, we’ll send all the people from Saint Sky Sect down to accompany you in death.”
Peregrine Azure stopped talking, knowing well that he couldn’t escape death today. Was there any use in arguing with these people? They were completely instigated by the Blood Drinking Sect, having lost all reason. Peregrine Azure firmly believed that the Saint Sky Sect would avenge him.
Just as the saber was about to fall, Lysander Fischer arrived just in time, shouting, “Spare him! If you kill Peregrine Azure, the sin will be enormous.”
“Fly Geese Door Sect Leader, what is your intention?” Many were displeased. Peregrine Azure had always had a good relationship with Lysander Fischer. Was he trying to save Peregrine Azure now?
“I just went to Saint Sky Sect, and Logan was indeed there. He made it clear that if Peregrine Azure receives even the slightest harm, none of the involved sects will escape; he will visit in person, and all will meet the same fate as the Western Wasteland Demonic Sky Gate.”
At Lysander Fischer’s words, most of the Sect Leaders were frightened silly. Logan had indeed collaborated with Saint Sky Sect, and the thought of having seriously injured Peregrine Azure, nearly killing him, caused everyone to tremble, not daring to imagine the wrath they would incur.
The leading Sect Leaders frowned, half believing and half doubting, “You’re not lying, are you? You rushed to Saint Sky Sect in just one hour? I find that hard to believe.”
“Talk is cheap, what if you’re merely concocting a reason to save Peregrine Azure?” The rest also came to their senses, unable to blindly trust Lysander Fischer’s word.
Lysander Fischer didn’t waste words with them, instead, he presented the Spirit Stone given by Logan, “Logan’s token, you can see for yourselves whether it’s real or fake.”
The next moment, the Spirit Stone emitted a brilliant glow and suddenly flew up into the sky. Then, a dark cloud formed, followed by a bolt of lightning striking down from the heavens. When it hit the ground, it created a pit several dozen meters wide.
“This is indeed Logan’s method. There are rumors that when Logan killed the Holy See of the Western Wasteland Demonic Sky Gate, he used an array to summon Thunder Tribulation, and this tiny Spirit Stone could also draw a trace of lightning. In recent centuries, apart from Logan, no Array Master has achieved this.”
Now everyone believed it. Lysander Fischer’s words were not an exaggeration; the Spirit Stone could prove everything Logan said.
The leading Sect Leaders were also taken aback, persistently asking, “Is this truly Logan’s stance? Are you sure? You must not lie about a single word, as it concerns the entire balance of power in Central Region.”
“Indeed, it was Logan who said it himself, would I dare to deceive anyone?” Lysander Fischer replied very solemnly. If anything truly happened to Peregrine Azure, no one could bear Logan’s wrath. All of them, over a hundred Sect Heads, would suffer, and even the Blood Drinking Sect behind them wouldn’t dare to come forward.
Over a hundred Sect Heads fell silent, now facing an ironclad fact: whether to harden their hearts and offend Logan or to bow their heads and give way. If they were to give way, it would mean that aside from Peregrine Azure, they could not afford to offend anyone from the Saint Sky Sect.
Unfortunately, after all their long planning, were they truly about to fail at the last step? Not only had they failed to gain any resources, but they had also deeply offended the Saint Sky Sect. It was an extremely difficult choice, yet for every Sect Head present, the outcome was self-evident.
A few leading Sect Heads waved their hands in resignation, saying with reluctance, “Release him. We cannot afford to offend Logan. After this, everyone should disperse. As long as Logan is with the Saint Sky Sect, we’ll behave ourselves. But there will come a day when Logan leaves.”
For the smaller Sect Heads, a sigh of relief naturally escaped them. They were scared that the Great Sect Heads wouldn’t want to compromise, truly committing to opposing Logan, which likely meant destruction for all the hundred-plus people present, and the smaller sects were just trying to make a living.
Lysander Fischer hurriedly went to rescue Peregrine Azure and whispered, “I’ll take you back to the Saint Sky Sect.” From the moment Lysander Fischer conveyed Logan’s message, Peregrine Azure’s heart was fearless, after all, he had returned from the Western Wasteland having personally witnessed Logan slaying a Holy See, something these Sect Heads could never imagine.
Logan did not want to get involved in the troubles of the Central Region, but he ended up doing so because of him. This made Peregrine Azure feel moved. Previously, when Logan took action against the Demonic Sky Gate, it was not for the three Lords; it was simply because Logan was displeased by the Demonic Sky Gate.
The three Lords had been unable to persuade Logan to take action, and had it not been for the Demonic Sky Gate’s own demise, the Western Wasteland would still be in chaos. Peregrine Azure had a clear understanding; there was no deep relationship between him and Logan, especially since they had only known each other for a few days, and when he first arrived in the Western Wasteland, he did not get along with Logan.
For Logan to speak such words on his behalf was a favor Peregrine Azure would remember in his heart. Even if one day Logan lost his ability to arrange arrays, Peregrine Azure would risk his life to protect him. Having survived today’s great peril, he would surely repay the debt a hundredfold in the future.
Just as the two were about to leave, suddenly someone spoke up, “Peregrine Azure can go, but he must leave behind a lesson. How about stripping him of his cultivation?”
“How is that any different from directly killing Peregrine Azure? What if Logan flies into a thunderous rage?” All the Sect Heads were shocked. Even Peregrine Azure returning with severe injuries could anger Logan, so who would dare to strip away his cultivation? They all disagreed; it would be like declaring war on the Saint Sky Sect.
“Marcus Blackwood, you have always been closely associated with the Blood Drinking Sect. Are you trying to stir up trouble now, so that the Blood Drinking Sect can benefit from the chaos?”
Lysander Fischer accused the speaking Sect Head, who was indeed from a Great Sect and had cultivated to the Quasi-Saint Realm. However, Marcus Blackwood was only Half-step Saint Seat decades ago, and it was said that his progress until today had been funded by the resources of the Blood Drinking Sect.
The hundred-plus Sect Heads all looked his way. Indeed, they had already decided to let Peregrine Azure leave. Why bother stripping his cultivation now? It was indeed too suspicious; they could bow their heads to the Saint Sky Sect, but not to the Blood Drinking Sect, for good and evil cannot coexist.
Marcus Blackwood became a bit flustered and quickly explained, “I just find Peregrine Azure annoying. Since everyone disagrees, then let’s just let him leave as it is.”
In the end, Lysander Fischer successfully took Peregrine Azure away. To return to the Saint Sky Sect as quickly as possible, Lysander Fischer immediately used his Spatial Divine Power without delay, and in less than half an hour, they arrived. Seeing Peregrine Azure return, Aurelius Azure could finally let his hanging heart down.
“Sect Leader, I failed.” Even though Peregrine Azure was heavily injured and on the brink of death, when he saw Aurelius Azure, he still strained himself to voice his guilt. The Sect Leader had tasked him to persuade the hundred-plus sects, but not only had he failed, he had been captured, causing them worry.
Aurelius Azure couldn’t bear such words, as if he were the true criminal. It was his error in judgment that had put Peregrine Azure in danger.
