Chapter 523: Chapter 337 Loss_1

“The Heavenly Sword Sect slew several Sovereigns, disregarding the previous promise made among the Six Great Sects. If it continues to be allowed, it will be an affront to the natural order of things. A price must be paid.”

A Strong Dominator exuded a formidable aura, summoning his divine weapon. He hoped to rally others to join him in slaughtering these three Sovereigns in order to console those who were recently killed. Otherwise, who knew how many would die come tomorrow.

The Six Great Sects have always been indifferent to each other’s matters, but this time, the Heavenly Sword Sect had incensed everyone. As a result, individuals from the other sects responded, and four Strong Dominators stepped forward, blocking the three powerhouses from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Apart from this, dozens from the Throne converged as well, encircling the group. The members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were naturally terrified; but the three powerhouses only frowned, showing no fear towards these people.

Three Sovereigns against four, their combat power wasn’t much different. After all, these three were long-established powerhouses whereas among the other four, one was only a half-step Sovereign. It was hard to predict the outcome once a fight broke out.

Seeing the situation worsening, someone from the Shingo Sect spoke up, “We’ll send word via carrier pigeon, let’s see how the Sect Leader responds. In anger, he might send numerous Strong Dominators to provide support. Let’s join together and help the Shingo Sect demand justice.”

“Rest assured, no matter what decisions the other sects make, we of the Flying Flow Sect pledge to stand with you, the Shingo Sect. After all, you lost two Strong Dominators and we lost one as well. Our feud with the Heavenly Sword Sect runs deep.”

A powerhouse from the Flying Flow Sect strode up, his eyes brimming with a chilling intent. Even though the Flying Flow Sect had been the weakest among the Six Great Sects, it didn’t mean they would keep bowing down to the Heavenly Sword Sect. If a fight were to break out, it would inevitably end in mutual destruction.

On the other hand, the Shingo Sect received the news. Celica Shingo was furious. They only had a dozen or so Sovereigns in the sect and they had lost two in a single day? The Heavenly Sword Sect had committed an excessive outrage, they had to pay the price this time.

He had been displeased with the Heavenly Sword Sect for a while now. They had taken his son, Lowen Shingo, and planned on executing him in three days time. All of this only seemed like a personal dislike before, but now it had escalated to a life or death situation for the sect. The two slain Strong Dominators were long-serving elders of the sect who had always shown utmost loyalty to the Shingo Sect.

Despite their rocky relationship, every elder in the Shingo Sect at the time had chosen to abandon Lowen Shingo, which had cooled his mood. No matter what, they were still members of the Shingo Sect and as Sect Head he had a duty and responsibility to act when things happened.

The oppressive aura of the half-step Saint Seat powerhouse burst forth, flying out like a shadow from the camp and arriving at the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader’s residence. A thunderous roar resounded in the neighbouring ten miles as a thunderbolt attack struck instantly.

The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader was sitting cross-legged in cultivation. He was already mentally exhausted, and now suspected of murdering a Strong Dominator from the Flying Flow Sect which had lead to several confrontations with them. He speculated that if they didn’t find the reasons by tomorrow, the Flying Flow Sect would definitely turn against him.

Being suddenly confronted, the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader naturally assumed it was the Flying Flow Sect. However, coming out to see, it wasn’t. It was the Shingo Sect with whom he had no grievances. Why were they aggressively looking for trouble with him?

Celica Shingo gave a cold laugh, surveying the puzzled face of the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader: “Yesterday, two of our elders were slain. We have sufficient evidence indicating the Heavenly Sword Sect was behind it. Your skillful tactics truly are something. Do you intend to eliminate all of the Six Great Sects’ Strong Dominators?”

“What do you mean?” The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader was stunned; he knew nothing of the matter. Each of the elders in the Shingo Sect were Sovereigns. No one had the capability to kill two Sovereigns at once, unless one of the leaders of the Six Great Sects acted in secret or perhaps a Half-step Saint Seat that bore a grudge previously. In any case, this was all unrelated to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

In his confusion, he said to Celica Shingo, “Have you fully investigated this? I have not left my tent since yesterday. If you want to blame someone, don’t falsely accuse them. Could you explain what happened?”

“Continue playing dumb.” Seeing the state of the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader, Celica Shingo seethed even more. His sect had lost two of its powerhouses, and the biggest beneficiary would be the Heavenly Sword Sect. Yet their leader was pretending in front of him.

Leaders from the other sects arrived one after another. After hearing Celica Shingo’s words, each of them glared furiously at the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader. It was one thing to kill a Strong Dominator from the Flying Flow Sect yesterday, but today two more from the Shingo Sect?

The Flying Flow Sect Leader sneered and stepped forward, “Celica Shingo, if you strike, I will join you against the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader. Two against one, we have a high chance of winning. Since the Heavenly Sword Sect does not abide by the rules, they should cease existing.”

“The Heavenly Saint Sect feels the same. We previously lost more than ten people and also suspect it was the work of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although they weren’t Strong Dominators, just common Transcendent Tiers, they were the most outstanding talents of our Heavenly Saint Sect’s next generation.”

The Heavenly Saint Sect Leader looked at the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader with his eyes blazing with rage. Previously, he was alone so he had to swallow all his anger and avoid damaging the relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, now the enemy had offended several sects, it was the perfect opportunity to kick them while they were down.
