Winston’s mouth was smeared with fresh blood, yet his face was filled with excitement. “Even if you catch up now, it’s pointless,” he said. “Mr. Garrido and his party should have already entered Divine Flame Mountain. They might even have obtained Divine Flame Seal by now.”
“Accept your fate,” he advised. “If you choose to follow Mr. Garrido now, I might still be able to put in a good word for you.”
“Pah, even if Harlan managed to get Divine Flame Seal, there’s no way he could claim ownership.”
Dario spat forcefully, then turned to Juliet and said, “Ms. Juliet, we should hurry and catch up…”
“Alright!” Juliet nodded in agreement.
A group of people hurried towards Divine Flame Mountain. However, just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they were suddenly met with dozens of auras!
“Could it be that Harlan and the others have already obtained Divine Flame Seal and returned?”
Juliet’s face turned cold as she spoke!
“Could it really happen so quickly?” Dario also slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
He couldn’t believe that Harlan had managed to acquire Divine Flame Seal so quickly. It seemed a bit far-fetched!
But at this moment, who would be coming from the direction of Divine Flame Mountain?
“It wasn’t Harlan and his party who arrived, but a bunch of Demonic Cultivators.”
Jared spoke with a stern expression!
“Demonic Cultivators?”
Dario and Juliet simultaneously exclaimed!
“Jared, how could there be Demonic Cultivators here?” asked Judd.
“I really wouldn’t know, you should be the ones to answer that. However, I can confirm that these people are indeed Demonic Cultivators as I can sense their aura.”
Jared said!
“Demonic Cultivators? How could they come here?” Juliet was utterly baffled!
“Could it be someone from Ghost Mask Sect? They’ve been spying on Divine Flame Mountain for a long time now.”
“This time, the mountain suddenly became active, so there’s a chance that Ghost Mask Sect might swoop in to seize control of it!”
Dario spoke with a hint of nervousness!
No sooner had Dario’s words fallen, than dozens of figures had already landed before them!
Everyone wore a mask, indeed they were from Ghost Mask Sect!
“Ghost Mask Sect? It really was you…”
Dario instinctively clenched his fists upon seeing the newcomers!
For all these years, Violet Flame Sect had been engaged in a constant struggle, both overt and covert, with Ghost Mask Sect!
“Dario, you seem to be in quite a hurry to get to Mount Divine Flame. Could it be that there’s some internal conflict within Violet Flame Sect?”
Maurice let out a cold laugh!
Dario couldn’t help but feel nauseated every time he saw the grotesque face of Maurice from Ghost Mask Sect.
“This is a matter concerning Violet Flame Sect, it has nothing to do with you. If you value your lives, take your people and leave immediately.”
Dario spoke to Maurice with a cold indifference.
“How can you say it doesn’t matter? After all, I was invited by Violet Flame Sect, and it was your Mr. Garrido who personally extended the invitation. So how can you claim it’s irrelevant?”
Maurice chuckled!
As soon as these words were spoken, Dario and the rest of Violet Flame Sect were all taken aback. Immediately after, their eyes blazed with anger, seething with indignation!
“This Harlan is absolutely audacious, daring to openly collude with Ghost Mask Sect. Someone like him is not fit to be the sect leader. In fact, he is not even fit to be an acting sect leader!”
Judd roared in fury!
Dario wore an expression of disbelief. “I really didn’t expect this. Harlan has betrayed Violet Flame Sect and conspired with you Demonic Cultivators. This has gone beyond a mere dispute for the position of sect leader. We must eliminate the traitor Harlan.”
“Ha, ha, ha, you guys are quite the boastful bunch,” he mocked. “Once I’ve dealt with you, Harlan will have no choice but to let Ghost Mask Sect take refuge in Violet Flame Sect, and even use the resources of Divine Flame Mountain.”
“By that time, it was uncertain who would own Divine Flame Mountain. Heck, even Violet Flame Sect might not even exist anymore!”
Maurice laughed heartily!
“D*mn that Harlan. How dare he agree to such a demand?”
Upon hearing this, Juliet’s face turned beet red in anger!
“It seems you two have been in touch for a while now. Berthold carries your aura, so he probably has been taken in by Ghost Mask Sect after being expelled from his sect.”
