Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 526
Chapter 526: Chapter 338: Heaven_2
“As expected.” the despair was palpable in the eyes of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Until now, he was still in the dark, he could understand why the other Sect Leaders were attacking him, but he couldn’t figure out who had made his sect the scapegoat.
The first person he suspected was Logan. But Logan was only at the Throne Realm; even if he could arrange incredible arrays, it would be quite impossible for him to silently assassinate a few at the Dominator Realm and plot such a huge conspiracy.
He unknowingly clenched his fists, muttering to himself, “Even if I descent into hell, I must find the culprit. Even if I have to risk everything, even if it leads to my soul shattering, I must settle this score, for I’ve been wronged beyond measure.”
“Don’t give him a chance to breathe… Kill him!” At Celica Shingo’s command, the other Sect Leaders unleashed their most powerful moves. Their strikes caused the sky and earth to ripple, as though the fabric of space itself could shatter.
The next moment, however, the figure of the Sect Leader from the Heavenly Sword Sect disappeared. The collaborated attack of the five Sect Leaders awkwardly missed their target, leaving them completely baffled. The man was clearly on his last breath, how could he just suddenly vanish?
The sect leader of the Flying Flow Sect shrugged helplessly, “Allowing him to escape is a problem. Our sects are now in grave danger. Who knows when he might make his comeback for revenge. Never underestimate the wrath of a quasi-Saint.”
“We have nothing to fear. He’s at his dying breath and sacrificed his own Dantian. Even if he survives, he will just be a waste, barely human. To regain the strength of a Half-Step Saint, it would probably take him hundreds of years, but he only has a few decades left.”
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect sneered, unconcerned, “Even if he escaped, he would have died in two or three days. Initially dying in our hands, he would have at least had an intact corpse, but dying elsewhere would surely utterly obliterate him.”
Celica Shingo looked dark, the only one among the sect leaders with some foresight. It couldn’t be the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s own power that allowed him to escape, given he was on his last breath and unable to call upon even a shred of spiritual power. Clearly, someone must have helped him.
Considering someone was able to rescue him right under the noses of six Sect Leaders, the helper was either a Saint or at least a Quasi-Saint. This thought sent a chill down his spine. If reality were as he feared, things could get tricky. However, since the helper only rescued without showing himself, he might not be too difficult to handle.
Celica Shingo didn’t share his thoughts. After all, it was just a hunch. He knew it would only add to their worries. Right now, the Sect Leaders must stay united and can’t afford to fall apart.
Though the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had escaped, his followers remained. Unwilling to let anyone from the Heavenly Sword Sect escape, the five Sect Leaders sent five Dominators, leading hundreds of men to the Heavenly Sword Sect, intending to wipe them out entirely. Any resources and spirit stones found within the sect’s premises would be equally divided among all.
Celica Shingo looked at the other sect leaders, asking: “There’s a group chasing Logan which includes the Heavenly Sword Sect. We have four teams in total, the other three can be dealt with easily. Our Dominators will swiftly eliminate them. But the one team which had the incident is challenging to handle.”
Since they had lost three Dominators from their sect, that team, compared to the combined strength of the other sects, has one man less. If a complete fall-out erupts, though our chances of winning are high, it isn’t guaranteed.
“If those three found out the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had fled and that the existence of the Heavenly Sword Sect itself is in jeopardy, they’ll go on a killing spree against the people from the other sects in that team. Even though we are a bit stronger, we don’t want to suffer significant losses.”
Seeing that the other Sect Leaders didn’t take his warning seriously, Celica Shingo continued, “What I mean to say is, why don’t one of us handle this situation? After all, killing three Dominators would be easy for a Half-Step Saint.”
“No way. If any of us meet the escaped sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect in a fight to death, would it be safe? I think that we five should stay together. It’s the safest and would prevent any form of last-ditch retaliation.”
The Sect Leader of the Flying Flow Sect shook his head; he did not agree with Celica Shingo’s views. Regardless of the fact that one of his own Dominators had been killed there, even if the three dominators of the Heavenly Sword Sect retaliated in any way, his own losses would be minimal.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect took a moment to consider before stating, “Sending three Dominators will create a seven against three situation. Besides, everyone in this camp still has a Dominator left. It seems most appropriate to send them now to resolve the conflict and disputes.”
“As for you, Head of the Flying Flow Sect, don’t keep revelling in other people’s misfortunes. Those three people were responsible for killing your Dominator. Don’t you want your people to exact their revenge personally? If they are killed by us, it loses significance for you.”
“Agreed.” Upon reflection, the Sect Leader of the Flying Flow Sect coughed: “In that case, none of you sect leaders need to send a Dominator. In a fit of anger yesterday, I called upon five dominators to stay in the vicinity. I have been pondering for quite some time whether or not to take action. I almost forgot about them.”
“Then it’s settled.” Celica Shingo nodded in agreement. The situation had taken shape already, and soon all the remnants of the Heavenly Sword Sect would face opposition. It was estimated that in one day, the Heavenly Sword Sect would no longer exist, leaving no survivors.
Knowing that such a high-ranking sect that once stood tall and intimidated thousands had fallen so suddenly, Celica Shingo couldn’t help but sigh in disbelief. It seemed that the Shingo Sect will have to continue to act low-key in the future, or they might end up like the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“No matter where the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect escapes to, even if he doesn’t have much time left, we still need to send a large number of people after him. We should be prepared for any eventuality. If he finds a chance to survive, you can all wait for his retaliation!”
The Sect Leader of the Flying Flow Sect reminded that the Heavenly Sword Sect was known for its policy of retribution. Unless they saw the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s death with their own eyes, anything was possible. After all, in this unpredictable Ancient World, no one can guarantee they’ll be the final winner.
Meanwhile, the strong ones from the five major sects received the Sect Leader’s message via carrier pigeon in no time, telling them to fight the Heavenly Sword Sect. The message also indicated that the Heavenly Sword Sect was no more, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Everything happened so fast. Just two hours ago, they were pondering whether or not to take action, even standoff with the three Dominators of the Heavenly Sword Sect for a long time. Suddenly, they were told that the Heavenly Sword Sect was destroyed which was a lot to take in.
Among the crowd, words started spreading that the Heavenly Sword Sect had met a great catastrophe this time. After killing members of the major sects, they were retaliated against. That retaliation led to the destruction of the entire sect. Apparently, these few people from the Heavenly Sword Sect still knew nothing of this.
The three Dominators of the Heavenly Sword Sect frowned, sensing something was wrong: “What’s going on? Why is everyone looking at us with pity? I recommend that you don’t act rashly. We, the Heavenly Sword Sect, are not to be trifled with.”
“Still talking about the Heavenly Sword Sect?” A burst of laughter broke out from the crowd. The Heavenly Sword Sect had ceased to exist just a moment ago. Now, the entire sect only had these three Dominators and seven or eight throne disciples left.
However, these people could only struggle to survive for a while, for once they joined forces later, these few people were bound to fall here. They had always disliked the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect, so they were naturally overjoyed at the sect’s current plight.
Manager Johnson of the Heavenly Saint Sect licked his lips. Honestly, from the moment he started working with Logan, he had thought he wouldn’t live long. If Logan was caught, he would also be done for. However, he had never imagined that the situation would evolve to this extent.
The mighty Heavenly Sword Sect had actually fallen under Logan’s schemes. And from start to finish, Logan hid in the shadows, merely leveraging the rage of the other sect leaders. This series of maneuvers was truly admirable.
