Chapter 3689 Santino Joining The Team
Over on the other side, Gloria had prepared various magical herbs for the Void Sect.
Those herbs were looted from around the world when Bone Grandmaster sought the super-spiritual ley lines. Although he did not find any impressive spiritual ley lines, he managed to get his hands on many treasures.
Gloria carefully picked the most precious ones from the haul and offered them to the sect. As predicted, Grant and the others were impressed by the gifts.
As Paladins from a significant sect in Kenfort, they had always looked down on the so-called “fighters” from the mundane world, and neither did they expect anything good to come from that world.
The truth was that many from the Void Sect were aware that Grant and other Paladins had followed Wade to the mundane world.
Although the sect approved of their departure, their actions were still closely monitored by the sect, so after Grant received those gifts from Gloria, he did not dare to take everything for himself.
Instead, he informed Void Sect’s council members of all the details.
Yet, he did not expect such a massive response from the council members.
The vice sect leader immediately dispatched more people to assist him and even sent Santino, one of the seven strongest Paladins in the sect, over.
However, Grant knew that although it seemed the sect had transferred Santino over to provide assistance, their real intention was for Santino to keep an eye on Grant and the others.
After all, the council members must be apprehensive of Grant keeping the magical herbs for themselves as those treasures were truly rare and precious indeed.
Gloria was thrilled when she found out that Santino was coming.
She could not believe that a few treasures were all it took to lure Santino from the mountain.
I might be able to get even the council members’ support if I give them God Crusher!
“Gloria, do you know that Santino is so powerful he’s considered the core of the Void Sect’s council?”
“I know. Santino might be the third Empyrean out of the seven, but he’s as powerful as Primo, the first Empyrean. Most importantly, he’s the favorite disciple of the vice sect leader, so he’s well-connected in the group. If he were to join the attack, even Bluesky Sect would suffer devastating losses, let alone Levi.”
Grant and Gloria talked about how great Santino was.
For most of it, what they said was right. The third Empyrean of the Void Sect was indeed an influential figure and even wielded more clout than some of the elders in the sect.
The vice sect leader was especially fond of Santino, so almost all the elders respected Santino.
“Gloria, if Santino were to join us, Void Sect would undoubtedly stand up for us if anything happened,” Grant noted enthusiastically.
“Then you’ll have to put in a good word for me when you see Santino,” Gloria answered with a smile.
Deep down, Gloria was already planning her next move.
Earlier, she had built rapport with Hansel so she could have a means of escape in the worst-case scenario.
After all, Grant and the other members of the Void Sect did not hold enough sway for the sect to intervene on her behalf if anything were to happen.
Hansel, by comparison, was the young master of Bluesky Sect. He was a critical council member of the sect, so he was a valuable connection.
Yet, Santino’s participation completely upended the equation.
As Grant pointed out, Santino was deep in the core of the Void Sect. He was the favorite disciple of the vice sect leader.
In any case, Void Sect would not sit idly by.
The whole Void Sect will be at my disposal if I can use Santino to my advantage.
Gloria felt more confident than ever when she thought about that.
In fact, she was already concocting a plan to destroy Thundera and Bluesky Sect.
Thundera will be the root of the problem if I don’t get rid of him now.
Just as Gloria was devising a plan, Grant addressed the people.
“Everyone! Why don’t we harness Santino’s help to eliminate Hansel from the Bluesky Sect?”
Since Bluesky Sect and Void Sect had always been at odds, Grant figured that vanquishing the young master of Bluesky Sect would help him score a big point.
