Chapter 3858 The Leader Of Eclipse
While everyone gathered with bated breath, a long time had since passed. However, there was still no sign of the mysterious fighter. Such a prolonged period of anxiety and anticipation rendered everyone frustrated and restless.
It was like gathering an entire regiment expecting a tough fight, only to be greeted with nothing but air. “Keep your guard up. The mysterious fighter might be using psychological warfare on us. He might strike suddenly and throw us off as soon as we relax a little!” said Geraint, his expression severe.
Upon hearing his orders, everyone present maintained their concentration in anticipation of battle. The members of Void Sect dared not act rashly when facing such a formidable opponent. After all, their leader was still nowhere to be found.
As more time passed, even more fighters from Eclipse and Eclipse Academy arrived. Upon receiving the news, both forces summoned their fighters, who were training and going on missions in Kenfort, and requested their assistance to fight the impending enemy.
Reinforcements then started to arrive at different times, presumably due to the respective distances they needed to travel. With the help of more and more elite fighters from both parties, they grew increasingly confident.
“We should stop waiting and charge to Greensill Mountain right away. There are so many of us! Why should we fear one man when we have so many elite fighters on our side?” asked the sect leader of Eclipse. Given that Eclipse was such a large and prominent sect, they had their pride to consider.
Moreover, the sect leader felt the need to demonstrate the power and capability of Eclipse since they were gathered before so many elite fighters from powerful sects.
That statement was all it took to spur some of the fighters into action. Soon, the elite fighters of Eclipse and Eclipse Academy began making their way to Greensill Mountain.
Some of the other sects watched and waited, but the supplementary forces of the two major sects trailed closely behind the elite fighters. It did not take long before they had Greensill Mountain completely surrounded.
However, after a thorough search, they did not even find traces of anyone having been there at all. At this moment, the fighters of Void Sect rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
By doing so, not only could they get rid of the impending threat posed by the mysterious fighter as soon as possible, but they could also get into Eclipse’s good books so that it would be easier for them to send their elites over to train in Eclipse Academy henceforth.
To their dismay, they rushed toward Greensill Mountain in a hurry, only to find nobody there. The bizarre situation left them all puzzled and confused.
“Where on earth did the mysterious fighter go? Even if they’re waiting for the best time to attack, it’s impossible for them to just disappear from the entire mountain range!”
“It’s a bit odd that we can’t find anything after such a thorough search.”
“Do you think he escaped?”
Everyone discussed among themselves.
After all, with so many elite fighters releasing their energy in unison to conduct a search, it was near impossible for someone to hide, no matter how strong they were.
Nonetheless, since they were still unable to find anything despite their combined efforts, it was likely that the mysterious fighter had already left.
Gloria and Primo walked side by side, surrounded by the council members of Void Sect.
Deep frowns marred their faces, given that nobody could discern the mysterious fighter’s motives.
“Darling, what do you think that mysterious fighter’s up to?” probed Gloria.
“I can’t figure it out either,” replied Primo, shaking his head.
He then continued, “However, based on his merciless way of doing things, he isn’t someone whose bark is worse than his bite. I feel like there’s a conspiracy behind all this.”
Everyone present nodded in agreement. The mysterious fighter had slaughtered many members of Eclipse Academy and other powerful sects just to get his hands on the dragon ley line.
He acted without scruples and was not afraid of offending anyone.
Not long ago, the mysterious fighter had breached Greensill Mountain knowing that the scouts would report his presence. This was clearly an act of provocation, in which he was publicly announcing his intention of laying Void Sect to waste.
Otherwise, if the mysterious fighter truly had the intention of launching a sneak attack, why would he let two weakling apprentices go?
“Stop making any more guesses. I’ve already come to a conclusion.”
Suddenly, a voice like thunder rang clearly in everyone’s ears.
