Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 584
Chapter 584: Chapter 367 Master_2
“No problem, I will take the million Spirit Stones.” Logan coughed a little, after all, the stones were picked up for nothing, why not accept them? Also, collecting a little compensation for escorting Tanner Scarlet was reasonable. This sudden change caused a frown to form on Amilia Scarlet’s forehead.
“The Demonic Sky Gate has invited a Holy See, how should we handle them?” Tanner Scarlet almost forgot about this, even if all the lords combined their forces, they could only deal with the underlings of the Demonic Sky Gate, but against the Holy See, they didn’t seem to have any means of sanctions.
“A Holy See?” Amilia Scarlet drew in a breath, the opponents really had a lot of nerve, they seem to really intend to overthrow the lords. Thankfully this information had been brought back, otherwise, if the lords had been kept in the dark, they would indeed be caught off guard by the Demonic Sky Gate.
After a deep breath, Amilia Scarlet’s gaze became profound: “No problem, the Demonic Sky Gate has crossed its bounds, the lords can invite their own Sanctuary Powerhouses. This matter concerns the safety of the Ancient World, those lofty Holy Sees won’t let the Demonic Path School succeed.”
About an hour later, a figure exuding an overwhelming aura suddenly appeared in the hall. It was Cain Scarlet, the Lord of the Scarlet Clan.
At first glance of Logan, he was a bit taken aback: “How did you come to my Scarlet Clan? Did Sandy Wexler send you with a message?”
“No, I’m not an underling of Sandy Wexler.” Logan smiled lightly: “That day, like you, I was not pleased with the Nango family. You took action to obliterate them, which could be seen as doing me a huge favor.”
“If you’re not an underling of Sandy Wexler, yet you were able to appear freely in the Lord’s Mansion that day, and based on the rumor that the City-protecting Array and a Quasi-Saint fell due to a formation arranged by a young man, it can be inferred that you are the person recently rumored about.”
Cain Scarlet scrutinized Logan, then said directly: “There is no grudge between us, let’s get straight to the point, I don’t want to offend you without reasons, but you should not presume that the Scarlet Clan is easy to bully, at least if you want to take action, I won’t give you the time to arrange your formation.”
“Is that so? You’re not an opponent.” Logan’s eyes shone brightly, his realm had broken through again and he had confidence that he could go toe-to-toe with Cain Scarlet. He had several tricks up his sleeve, and if it were a life-and-death battle, he is confident that the one to die would be Cain Scarlet.
“Fine, a guest is a guest. As long as you don’t make trouble on Scarlet Clan’s territory, I won’t interfere. I don’t want to offend people.”
Cain Scarlet and Logan stared at each other for a while before Cain Scarlet gave in. He didn’t want to make it too difficult with Logan, after all, the head of a Supreme Sect had died at Logan’s hands, and he himself was only a Quasi-Saint Seat, he didn’t feel like he would be much stronger.
Logan’s face alight with a gentle smile: “Indeed, you can ask Tanner Scarlet, I suppose I did help the Scarlet Clan.”
“Right, why was I called back?” Cain Scarlet directed his gaze at the Vice Lord, while Tanner Scarlet at this moment proactively stood up and bowed.
“How come you’re back, weren’t you told to hide within the Demonic Sky Gate?” Cain Scarlet questioned, the rule he had previously set for Tanner Scarlet was not to leave unless it was a last resort, even if he were to be detected by the Demonic Sky Gate, he was not to drag the Scarlet Clan into it.
Tanner Scarlet took out a blood-soaked letter: “Lord, this is a blood-written letter from over thirty spies from various lords and powers, every word on it is true, revealing the intentions of the Demonic Sky Gate. A disaster will strike the surrounding area of a million miles.”
After reading the blood letter, Cain Scarlet couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath, the content of the letter implied that the Demonic Sky Gate planned to move troops against the lords. The most crucial part of the blood letter was the blood fingerprints, with dozens of spies pressing down together, this serves as the only proof for their lord.
“This is a serious matter, I will immediately notify the other lords and heads of major powers to discuss countermeasures, a major battle is inevitable!”
Cain Scarlet’s gaze was somber, he then said: “You can’t rest for now, when the other lords arrive, I’ll need you to explain everything.”
“I understand.” Tanner Scarlet nodded his head, easing the tension in his heart on seeing that the Lord so readily trusted him. Tanner was afraid that the Lord would be like the Vice Lord, interrogating and questioning every detail or suspecting the authenticity of this blood letter.
Then, he addressed Cain Scarlet, “I owe my life to Logan during this journey. He ensured my safe return otherwise I would have been killed in the pursuit of the Demonic Sky Gate. He even went further to slay a Semi-Saint.”
Cain Scarlet was taken aback but he wasn’t the type to be hung up on his pride. With sincerity, he apologized and expressed his gratitude to Logan. He indeed misunderstood Logan earlier since he had been warned by Sandy Wexler, thus making him more cautious.
With a wave of his hand, Logan seemed nonchalant. In truth, both Cain Scarlet and Sandy Wexler were worthy of their titles as Lords. Due to their straightforward nature, they often offended many. However, Logan understood that such personalities were rare.
Soon after, Cain Scarlet left in a hurry, appearing quite ominous, clearly bothered by the matter regarding the Demonic Sky Gate.
Logan sat in a chair, quietly sipping tea, when Amilia Scarlet, trembling with concern, approached him, “Are you the one who assisted Sandy Wexler in assassinating the Quasi-Saint?”
“I am an array arranger.” Logan replied with a faint smile, this acknowledgment left Amilia pale. The power of Sandy Wexler’s helper, who effortlessly obliterated a Super First-class Sect with a single array arrangement, was well known. The thought that she had snubbed Logan earlier sent shivers down her spine. She was thankful that Logan wasn’t petty. Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine her fate; was she going to meet the same end as the Sect Head of the Supreme Sect, a dying man?
Owing to the severity of the situation, within less than an hour, a group of powerful beings assembled. They were the three Lords and heads of the nearby Seven Major Sects. It ought to have been Eight Major Sects, if the Supreme Sect’s Leader hadn’t been killed by Sandy Wexler.
Those present were the most influential in the nearby territories. Outside, there were a few dozen people from smaller powers who didn’t qualify to negotiate with these Lords and Super First-class Sects, they could only wait for the results on the sidelines.
Sandy Wexler was present too. He was startled on seeing Logan but eventually greeted him with a smile. This entire scenario aroused a lot of interest in Logan.
All present in the hall were Quasi-Saint Sanctuary Powerhouses with the sole exception of Sandy Wexler who had recently lost his cultivation level. But no one dared underestimate him, in fact, some even had newfound reverence for him, especially given the fact that his array power could eliminate all of those present, especially considering the millennia old City-protecting Array of the Wexler Clan which was far stronger than a Quasi-Saint.
“Everyone has been called here because the Demonic Path School, the Demonic Sky Gate, is planning a major offensive against us Lords. Consequently, none of the powers residing in the territories will be spared. I hope everyone can set their grudges aside and together we can counter the Demonic Sky Gate.”
Cain Scarlet brought out a letter, “This is from a spy we sent to the Scarlet Clan in cooperation with your respective forces. The blood fingerprint is there to verify its authenticity, this is not a false alarm.”
The various Lords and Sect Heads each took a look. The handwriting, signature, and fingerprint indeed matched those of their own spies. In particular, there were exclusive signals in the writing that couldn’t be faked unless their spies had defected.
Sandy Wexler furrowed his eyebrows, “Does that mean besides the Scarlet Clan, all other forces have been wiped out?”
“They sacrificed themselves to cover for me.” Tanner Scarlet stepped forward and once again recounted the Demonic Sky Gate’s plan, there were originally thirteen people who managed to escape, but now he was the only lucky survivor.
