Chapter 3810 Bystander
Not long after, the members of Astre Lune Sect, as well as other sects, arrived at the dragon ley line. What they saw there was a field of corpses and the absence of the Void Sect members.
It took them a while before they realized the dragon ley line had been occupied by Eclipse Academy. “Eclipse Academy is terrifyingly strong. If Void Sect was the one that seized the dragon ley line, we might have a chance to win.”
“Yeah. I don’t think Eclipse Academy can be defeated even if multiple sects work together.” “That may be true, but still, I’ll be lying if I say I’m not bitter about someone else getting a dragon ley line of that scale.”
“It’s better to be bitter than to be dead. Take care, everyone. We’ll be leaving first.”
Discussions could be heard. The members of Astre Lune Sect, especially, had come in high spirits, yet they had to return in disappointment. They had planned to borrow Void Sect’s strength to battle against the Septistar Order.
Based on the current situation, however, it seemed that their plan had fallen apart. If Void Sect had been the one to claim the ley line, they could’ve asked for a share.
The members were disappointed and upset, and so was Levi. However, his disappointment had nothing to do with the ownership of the dragon ley line, but because he couldn’t confront the members of Void Sect.
He had been prepared and excited for a big fight, thinking that he would have the opportunity to slaughter Gloria and the others and seek revenge.
But now, the dragon ley line had become part of Eclipse Academy’s property, and the members of Void Sect were nowhere to be found. I suppose I’ll let you two live a little longer, Santino, Gloria! Levi said inwardly.
Cheriette let out a sigh and said in a serious tone, “We should get out of here quickly to avoid crossing paths with the Septistar Order.” The other sect members nodded resignedly and prepared to leave the scene.
“What kind of place do you lot think this is? Do you think you can come and go as you please?” The cold voice of the man in the black robe was so loud that it hurt the people’s eardrums.
Those with slightly lower cultivation levels even felt a little dazed. He’s strong! The crowd was amazed, but at the same time, they weren’t completely sure what the man meant.
“What do you mean by that? We don’t want any conflicts with Eclipse Academy. Why are you stopping us from leaving?”
“We have no intention of seizing the dragon ley line. Can’t we just leave?” “Please explain to us what you mean by that.” The members of various sects spoke out.
In response, the man in the black robe sneered, “While you haven’t done anything yet, your arrival here means you were planning to take the dragon ley line for yourselves. The only reason you haven’t attacked yet is that you’re aware of how powerful Eclipse Academy is, isn’t it? Our authority is not to be challenged! None of you are leaving here alive! Kill them all and leave no one behind!”
The instant he relayed that order, the other members of Eclipse Academy promptly made their moves on the people of the various sects.
“We’ll die anyway. We should work together to push them back! This way, we might have a chance to survive!”
The crowd began to rise up against Eclipse Academy. A tiny amount of them was hopeful that they would emerge victorious by working together, perhaps even gaining the opportunity to split the dragon ley line among themselves after the battle concluded.
Sadly, the reality is a cruel mistress. In terms of power, the gap between them and Eclipse Academy was too great.
Even if they used every trick up their sleeves, they would still end up being a fish on the chopping board, completely at their enemy’s mercy.
The members of Astre Lune Sect were extremely depressed. Not only did they fail to acquire the dragon ley line, but their very lives were also at risk.
“You’re such a burden, Garrison. Even at this critical moment, you’re no help at all.”
“Just ignore him. How can a reprobate from the mundane world be of any use?”
“What are you doing, Levi? Watching a show? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you first if you’re just going to stand there.” From the corner of her eye, Cheriette saw Levi crossing his arms in front of his chest. He looked as though he was an audience member enjoying a performance.
