Chapter 3809 Takeover
A young man in a black robe mocked, “This dragon ley line now belongs to Eclipse Academy. Do you have a problem with that, Primo?”
Even though he addressed Primo as such, there wasn’t even a hint of respect visible on his face. The edge of Primo’s lips twitched. He felt incredibly helpless all of a sudden.
Not only could Primo and his people not afford to offend Eclipse, but they were also far weaker than the academy members. “I am acquainted with Mr. Easton of Eclipse. If you—”
“Don’t try that gimmick with me.” Before Primo could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the leader of Eclipse Academy. “What makes you think having a mere branch master as your backer holds any sway in this situation?” the man in the black robe sneered.
“If not for the relationship Void Sect has with Eclipse, do you think you people can leave this place alive? Stop wasting my time and get out of my face before I change my mind. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
The expressions on the Void Sect members shifted drastically. They were furious, but they didn’t have the guts to voice their anger. Gloria had planned to use violence if things didn’t turn out well. However, after she learned about the true background of her opponents, she dared not act rashly anymore.
She had learned plenty about Eclipse from Primo, so she knew they were a true super sect. All those who graduated from Eclipse Academy were the heads of their own factions.
The academy members facing Gloria at that moment might very well be the future leaders of medium or even large-sized sects. “Let’s go!” Primo ordered the Void Sect members after letting out a sigh.
Every single Void Sect member appeared as though they no longer possessed the imposing demeanor they had earlier.
They didn’t expect their defense against the assaults from different sects would end up becoming a stepping stone for the members of Eclipse Academy.
Feelings of bitterness, anger, and helplessness swirled in their hearts.
“You’ve made a wise decision, Primo.” The man in the black robe smiled. “No need to be too discouraged. There are still plenty of holy ley lines and magical herbs around this dragon ley line. Since you lot are the ones who discovered this dragon ley line, these cultivation resources shall be bestowed on your sect as a reward.”
“Thank you!” said Primo.
Although Void Sect couldn’t get their hands on the dragon ley line, at least they weren’t going back empty-handed.
After all, magical herbs nourished by a dragon ley line were similarly difficult to come by. They wouldn’t be able to do a thing either way if the members of the academy had also decided to snatch the resources surrounding the ley line for themselves.
Feeling dejected, Primo led the members of Void Sect away from the ley line.
The man in the black robe then yelled at the others in the distance, “I hereby announce that this dragon ley line now belongs to Eclipse Academy! If any of you have any grievances about that fact, you’re free to seize this ley line from us so long as you’re prepared to face my sword.”
He waved his sword as he spoke. At once, a bottomless crack appeared on a chunky boulder.
The many sect members watching promptly went silent.
“I think we should book out of here as soon as possible!”
“There’s no way we can afford to mess with Eclipse Academy when they’re backed by Eclipse!”
“Even Void Sect has given up. There’s no way we have a chance of winning.”
Those sects were already hesitant to strike when Void Sect occupied the dragon ley line. It was only natural that they would further lose confidence to attack when they had to face Eclipse Academy.
“If any of you don’t have the guts to snatch the dragon ley line out of our hands, you best leave as far away from here as possible. Should you all continue to linger around, I’ll treat you as enemies attempting to steal the ley line. Anyone who still sticks around after the count of three shall die!” the man in the black robe warned coldly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Noisy footsteps could be heard as the members of the sects surrounding them scattered and fled.
