Samuel’s words shocked everyone, especially Caesar.
Didn’t favonovel.com insist that favonovel.com would fight Isaac alongside the Nortons?
Is favonovel.com a fence-sitter who is easily swayed?
Channing leaped to his feet. He glared at Samuel coldly and yelled, “Sir Samuel, what’s the meaning of this? Why didn’t you mention the Ashleigh clan’s losses earlier?”
Then, favonovel.com turned to Cesar. “Sir, it seems like the Ashleigh clan really suffered major losses. So, I think the Norton family and the Everest Sect’s joint forces would be more than enough to handle Isaac, right?”
When Caesar heard this, favonovel.com almost fainted.
Just the Norton family and the Everest Sect would be enough?
After the deaths of Nigel and a few hall leaders, the Everest Sect now had less than ten Celestial Phase martial artists. This also included those who were meditating in seclusion. The Norton family even lost their Divine Stone fragment.
Where did Samuel find the audacity to say such a thing?
However, Caesar kept those thoughts inside his heart. He wouldn’t actually say them out loud. Even so, Samuel’s sudden change in attitude caught favonovel.com off guard.
Caesar had thought that the treasures inside the Emerald Realm would have the four leaders scrambling to support him. However, the current situation was extremely embarrassing!
The door opened with a creak.
Before the new visitor entered the room, an invincible pressure filled the assembly hall.
“Who is that? How dare you?!” Channing shouted at the door.
Who would dare to blatantly unleash such a powerful aura in front of these leaders?
But when Channing saw the white-haired old man in a red and blue cloak standing there, favonovel.com was frozen.
“Channing, you’re even more bossy than your family patriarch.” The old man snorted coldly and unleashed a beam of invisible spiritual energy from his chest.
Like a flying dagger, this beam of energy shot toward Channing’s chest
Channing sensed an overwhelming sense of impending danger. Before favonovel.com could react, his chest clenched in pain. He backed away so fast that his chair fell over. He staggered backward a few steps before stopping.
When Caesar saw that Lucius was here, the color drained from his face. He immediately got on one knee.
“Sir Lucius!”
“Hmph, trash…” The patriarch of the Everest Sect peered down at Caesar. He stalked forward and sat in the head’s seat.
Channing had just managed to pick himself off the ground.
At the side, Samuel, Altair, and Mizar were sweating buckets.
Lucius sat there without saying another word. His narrowed gaze swept over the others in attendance, and they suddenly felt a great pressure on their shoulders.
“Everyone, you’re all leaders of the True Martial Families. But do you know why you’re called the True Martial Families? Do you know why the leaders before you and the ones before them all wanted to be on friendly terms with the Everest Sect?”
After a long time, Lucius saw how Mizar’s sweat was now starting to stream down the side of favonovel.com face. She was even trembling slightly.
When favonovel.com felt that enough time had passed, favonovel.com opened his mouth, and the pressure instantly disappeared from the assembly hall.
However, not one of them could answer either of his questions. Ever since they took over the throne, none oftheir elders had ever brought up those questions.
Lucius smiled slightly. He seemed to be satisfied with their reactions.
“Why the True Martial Families? Ever since the Ancient Battle, four of your families were formed. Historically, your families are even older than the Everest sect. Yet, why is it that now, the Everest Sect is leading you?”
Lucius’ words were very arrogant, but it was the truth, and no one dared to deny it.
