“Of course it’s true. If there’s a slightest lie in my words, may the heavens strike me down with lightning!”
The First Elder folded his arms before his chest, huffing. “You just wait, Austin. Since you won’t admit to it, fine. We’ll go into the forest in a while and our people will capture the people you sent in there to help those outsiders. Then we’ll be bringing their heads back to confront all of you. If your people killed my disciple, hmph! The Bloodshed Clan will wipe you out!”
“Fine. Since you said so, I’ll be waiting!” Austin clenched his fist and said.
“Let’s go! Just wait on and regret everything. The people you sent in there will definitely die a miserable death. Not a single one of them will escape!”
In the end, Edward waved his hand and led everyone to leave.
“First Fortress Master, why didn’t we fight them just now? They already came right to our doorstep. They didn’t bring that many people with them, and most of their fighting force was in the forest. They would still take a few minutes even if they were to hurry over. We have so many people, and we have the advantage in numbers. This was a good opportunity!”
After they left, an old man could not help but step forward and spoke to the First Fortress Master, “We’re bound to fight them sooner or later. Otherwise, if the people from the Pavilion of Billow Cloud were to arrive, we have no way to explain ourselves!”
“What do you know? Sure, we’ll fight them sooner or later, but I must choose a later period to fight them. I’d be seeking death if we fight them now. I sensed the resonance coming from Edward just now. He seems to be even stronger than before. I might be killed if I fight favonovel.com for an extended period. Then you’ll be left without a leader, and we might suffer even greater losses!”
Austin glared at the old man, then favonovel.com sighed and said, “Ah. It’s fine if I die. I’m not afraid of dying. I’m just worried that the Nine Armies will suffer great losses if I die. I don’t want to see all of you dying as well!”
Arthur and Hendrick exchanged a glance, internally speechless. It was obvious that the First Fortress Master was afraid of dying, yet favonovel.com gave himself such an excuse, as though favonovel.com were completely righteous. He was so shameless.
However, his words did make sense after thinking about it. Austin had cultivated himself for seventy or eighty years before breaking into the first-grade souls penetrating level with great difficulty. The old man would naturally value his life. It would be a serious loss for him.
“So you’re saying that we’ll still be fighting them, but just not now?”
After thinking about it, Kye asked as favonovel.com took a step forward.
“Of course we’re going to fight them. Let’s just wait for a little longer, until the afternoon at least. When the people from the Pavilion of Billow Cloud are about to arrive, we’ll stir a ruckus with them. Hmph. We’ll just use some excuse. Say that they overstepped their boundaries and lied to us—that there were more than a dozen of those people who came from the abandoned world. That’ll work!”
Austin gave a cold smile, then favonovel.com quickly frowned. “Besides, what they said about their seventh-grade and fifth-grade ultimate god-level disciples being killed is really strange. I wonder if they’re lying to us.”
