Meanwhile, Yona had led the Scorching Heaven Sect members to the Luminous Sect camp at the bottom of the mountain. I promised Wrey as well as the others that I’d eliminate Luminous Sect and replace their position. I must keep my word! I can’t live in hiding forever!
Luminous Sect hadn’t found an appropriate. spot to set up camp. They were only staying there temporarily to rest. “Master, do you think the remaining sects will conspire against us now that we’ve grown apart from them?” Archer asked Matthew.
“I doubt it. After all, they’re righteous sects. I don’t think they need to do that when they can simply cut contact with us,” Matthew answered.
I still believe in the other sects. We may bear grudges against each other, but I don’t think we’re at a point where they’ll want to wipe us all out. “We need to find a spot far away from them. Otherwise, they’ll keep troubling us,” said Skyler.
“There’s no hurry. We can take our time searching for an ideal spot. This secret realm doesn’t seem to have a master, and it’s pretty big. I bet there are many valuable regions here that haven’t been discovered! Let’s all rest for now. We’ll resume our search tomorrow.” Matthew promptly lay on his bed. Frankly, I’m still concerned about Jared’s safety. I wonder if he has escaped.
Skyler and Archer went to rest as well. Only two disciples of Luminous Sect patrolled the area to prevent any stray demon beasts from disturbing them.
At that moment, the disciples noticed a shadow rapidly approaching them. Before they could shout, they felt the sensation of pain coming from their chests. They dropped to the ground, dying in a pool of their own blood.
Thud! Thud! While the sound they made when they collapsed was faint, Matthew still heard it. He couldn’t sleep, so when he heard at commotion, he immediately got up to check what was going on.
Soon after he left his bed, he saw multiple figures with murderous intent approaching him rapidly. Shocked, he thrust his palm forward. A white light instantly flashed past the dark night as his mighty martial energy sent the figures flying away.
At that moment, all disciples of Luminous Sect were alerted to the danger. Knowing that ant ambush was impossible at that point, Yona abandoned the strategy of hiding in the shadows.
As torches were lit, Matthew was surprised to see Yona of Scorching Heaven Sect. He didn’t expect the members of Scorching Heaven Sect to have entered the secret realm as well and have the audacity to attack him.
After all, Scorching Heaven Sect had been living in the shadows and avoiding making public appearances for years. “You have some nerve to attack Luminous Sect, Yona!” Matthew growled.
“You and Luminous Sect hunted Scorching Heaven Sect in the past. It’s only natural that I return the favor,” Yona scoffed. “You’re too bold! Don’t you know the camps of other sects are located not far from here? Once I request help from them, Scorching Heaven. Sect won’t be able to escape!”
Yona cackled. “You are so naive. Do you truly believe the other sects will come to your rescue? Since you’re about to die, I’ll tell you the truth. Your destruction in my hand was something I had discussed with the other sects! Once your sect is obliterated, my sect will take your sect’s position!”
“You’re lying! They won’t do that. Stop sowing. discord!” Matthew refused to believe him. / know they hate Demonic Cultivators to the bone! There’s no way they’ll let Yona and his sect replace mine!
