Being able to hunt down some demon beasts and extract their beast cores would greatly benefit the development of the sect.
Meanwhile, all the sects in the hidden realm, except Luminous Sect, had gathered.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve already explored this secret realm to a considerable extent…”
“The resources and environment here are hundreds. of times better than those in the hidden realm. Moreover, this mountain peak is filled with high-level demon beasts. If we can work together to hunt down some of them, our sects will experience rapid growth. By then, we’ll no longer be inferior to the cultivators in the Eight Major Secret Realms…”
“We can also become immortals, ascend to the celestial realm, and achieve eternal youth,” said Hugh, filled with excitement.
“Mr. Fairchild is right. The sudden appearance of an entrance to the ownerless secret realm in our hidden realm must be a sign from God. We must seize this opportunity. However, in the face of so many high-level demon beasts, we. must unite as one. As long as we stand united, we’ll be able to make the secret realm ours. We’ll not allow anyone to snatch it from us!” Wrey stood up, expressing his agreement.
“Mr. Fairchild, Mr. Lindt, we’re all in this together. Just tell us what we need to do!” one of the sect leaders exclaimed.
Another person echoed, “Yeah, and I’m sure the secret realm is large enough for all the sects to survive and thrive. We should be able to focus on cultivation and not worry about resources!”
The crowd unanimously expressed their support for Hugh and Wrey’s suggestion.
“What about Luminous Sect?” Suddenly, Isaac from the Alchemical Sect spoke up.
The crowd fell silent. After all, Luminous Sect was one of the sects in the hidden realm, and their placement had now become a contentious issue.
“Alchemical Sect, how about this? Let’s find a secluded area for their sect to settle in. If they don’t want to stay in the secret realm, we can simply banish them and let them continue residing in the hidden realm!” someone suggested.
Another person chimed in, “Let’s just kick Luminous Sect out and send them back to the hidden realm. We shouldn’t share the resources of the secret realm with them!”
The majority of the suggestions revolved around expelling Luminous Sect from the secret realm and sending them back to the hidden realm. The underlying motivation was to secure a larger portion of the available resources for the remaining sects.
Upon hearing that, Wrey waved his hand to quiet the crowd.
“If news of our secret realm reaches the Eight. Major Secret Realms and they attempt to seize our resources, we may not have the strength to confront them. Therefore, we must be prepared on both fronts…”
“We cannot afford to lose our territory in the secret realm. Even if cultivators from the Eight Major Secret Realms come to plunder our secret realm resources, we can retreat to the hidden realm. They would not dare venture outside the secret realm, after all…”
“However, if we drive Luminous Sect out and force them back to the hidden realm, won’t they gain control over all the territories there? What if we encounter danger in the secret realm and need to retreat? Can we guarantee that Luminous Sect won’t seek revenge if we fall back to the hidden realm?” Wrey meticulously analyzed the situation, presenting the crowd with a thoughtful assessment.
“Mr. Lindt is right. If that’s the case, what should we do with Luminous Sect?” someone asked.
Wrey cast a sidelong glance, his eyes filled with a surge of murderous intent. “Kill…”
Upon hearing the word, the crowd instantly kept mum.
Although all the sects in the hidden realm often engaged in discreet power struggles for resources and benefits, they had never considered exterminating a sect. Now that Wrey suggested wiping out the entire Luminous Sect, everyone was left unsure of how to respond.
