Ch. 3341..3350

Chapter 3341 They Have Underestimated Forlevia

Everyone was utterly astounded by Forlevia’s formidability. Undoubtedly, it had twisted the situation, shattering the Invincible Clan’s plan. Subsequently, Levi would be unfazed as Fiery Demon and the others only sustained minor injuries.

The elites of the Invincible Clan tended to focus on Levi and underestimated Forlevia’s combat prowess. In other words, they had never expected she would turn into a petrifying threat.

In their eyes, she was only a highly talented kid with a horrendous spiritual bone. Thus, they thought she was just a tool.

Nevertheless, their jaws dropped at Forlevia’s formidability. How’s it possible that a small girl has such mighty combat prowess? Even all of us from the most unrivaled Invincible Clan are no match for her! How preposterous!

Right that instant, the Invincible Clan could finally wrap their heads around their master’s mind. He had warned them earlier not to step on Levi’s toes impetuously. Initially, they paid no heed to it arrogantly.

Only then did they understand that they had underestimated Levi’s combat prowess. Even his daughter’s combat prowess is beyond imagination! Fortunately, we did not provoke Levi Garrison and battle against him directly!

The Invincible Clan could not dwell over what had transpired earlier. They could not help but feel humiliated as they had never scurried away in such humiliation from their foes. Apart from being dumbstruck, they had to admit that Levi was no ordinary man.

They could finally fathom why they had to be extra careful while extracting Azure Dragon and the others’ spiritual bones. Oh my! Levi Garrison’s combat prowess is rather unpredictable indeed!

Needless to say, no words could describe how overwhelmed Gloria was. She was convinced that her scheme would be a success as she had taken everything into consideration.

Nonetheless, she only realized she had overlooked one of the most important points. She was regretful for treating Forlevia as a kid and did not take her combat prowess into consideration.

For the time being, she deduced Forlevia’s combat prowess was ranked the ultimate range in the Ecclesiastic Order.

In fact, she had a hunch the latter could be of the same range as the elders from West Pavilion and the Three Sages of North Pavilion. That explained why the elites of the Invincible Clan ended up in such a state.

With that, she was thankful that she did not take the risk to strike against Forlevia. Otherwise, the plan she had been devising would be ruined in a split second.

Moreover, she could not resist feeling blessed that her gut instinct told her not to take risks on stealing Forlevia’s spiritual bone moments ago. After heaving a sigh of relief, she fled the base with Ancient Divine Sword.

In the meantime, everyone in the base gazed at Forlevia with utter disbelief in their eyes. It never crossed their minds she had become such a strong fighter.

No doubt, they had been well aware of her talent long ago. However, they had never expected she would be able to battle against their foes almost effortlessly.

They were all horror-stricken by the previous scene. Forlevia was like an invincible deity descending from the sky during her battle with the Invincible Clan.

Their hearts still skipped a beat at the thought. My goodness! She’s as powerful as her father now!

Meanwhile, Forlevia only flashed them a faint smile.

After all, Levi was well aware of her mighty combat prowess.

He could step out from the base at any time as he knew well about Forlevia’s capability and was sure as h*ll she would be able to cope with any hiccups.

Hence, he stepped out of the base earlier, not bothered by anything, knowing that Forlevia could settle anything with her combat prowess.

The moment he knew about the Invincible Clan’s sudden appearance, he had a feeling someone was playing an underhand tactic. He presumed the mastermind manipulating in the dark must have known about the location of the base and intended to lure him away. Thus, the Invincible Clan took the opportunity to launch an attack there when he was away.

Even so, he racked his brain on who could be the culprit exposing the location of the base. Hmm! Sonja and the other three were the only ones from the Ecclesiastic Order who’d dropped by before. It can’t be the Three Sages of North Pavilion. When they came to look for me previously, I was not there too! But I don’t think the four will ever expose the location. Who could be the culprit then?

Thus, Levi was still convinced nobody else knew about the base.

Not to mention, he had checked on the current stage of Forlevia’s combat prowess before leaving the base recently. If anyone intended to attack them, it would be a piece of cake for her to retaliate at any time.

His confidence was proven right when Forlevia was able to defend the base by defeating the Invincible Clan effortlessly.

On the other hand, Levi still managed to track down the four elites of the Invincible Clan after quite a while.

 

Chapter 3342 God Crusher Is Stolen

Instead of retreating at once to run for their lives, they were tickled pink when Levi emerged and could scarcely wait to battle against the legendary man.

In actuality, they were instructed earlier to retreat as they had helped buy enough time for the others to carry out their mission. Not only that, their comrades had encountered obstacles at the other end.

Nevertheless, the four elites gave no hoots to the instruction. They were reluctant to let the chance to battle against Levi slip away.

“Finish him off now!” The four of them charged at Levi relentlessly.

Inevitably, they were unable to fight against the latter’s earth-shattering strike.

Shortly after, they were sent flying with only one punch from Levi.

Thunderstruck, they could not counterattack at all.

At that very moment, they finally realized how mighty Levi was. Evidently, they had underestimated the latter and realized they should not have stepped on his toes.

My goodness! His combat prowess is indeed beyond description! How could we fight against him? They eventually realized their combat prowess was a stark contrast to Levi’s.

Furthermore, they recalled how they used to think that Levi’s combat prowess was incomparable to theirs despite his formidability that was known to everyone. Hence, they thought of challenging him.

At the moment, they could not help despising themselves for being naive. Levi’s mightiness was far beyond their imagination!

“Let’s retreat now!” They decided to flee at once.

However, it was too late for them to do so. Apparently, Levi did not plan to let them off.

Prevailed by a sense of crisis, the four elites uttered resolutely, “No way! We mustn’t let him capture us! We’ve to end our lives with self-destruction!”

Bang!

The next moment, the four bodies exploded simultaneously, splattering blood everywhere.

Before they set off, they were told to do so in the worst scenario. If they were unable to flee in a precarious state, they should opt for self-destruction so they would not fall into Levi’s hands.

“T-This…” Levi was utterly speechless and frustrated.

He had a feeling earlier that they would commit suicide. Thus, he exerted massive power to have everything under control, preventing them from taking action.

Notwithstanding, they were undoubtedly well-prepared and ended their own lives via self-destruction on the spot. Inevitably, that was beyond his control.

Evidently, his foes had schemed to lure him out so they could charge at the base to take revenge on him in a way. Pfft! But how could your combat prowess be comparable to Evie’s?

As the thought buoyed Levi up, he headed back to the base, nonchalant as ever.

It was indeed as predicted by him. The foursome had lured him out purposively so the others of the Invincible Clan could launch an attack on the base.

Fortunately, Levi had been well prepared long ago, and Forlevia’s combat prowess was more than enough to handle everything.

He had been observing Forlevia’s development recently and was impressed by the mind-blowing advancement of her self-created technique.

In fact, he had never seen anyone with such tremendous advancement in their combat prowess in such a short span.

Hence, Levi would not have to be worried when she was around.

Not to mention, he had roughly known about the capabilities of everyone in the Ecclesiastic Order, and Forlevia’s combat prowess was ranked top in the order. Thus, he was convinced there would not be any issues.

“But Dad, too bad I was unable to capture them!” Forlevia uttered in disappointment.

Levi chuckled. “It doesn’t matter. After all, they won’t let themselves fall into our hands as they’re prepared to go for self-destruction at any moment. Since they would even do that in front of me, it showed that they were well prepared!”

“Anyway, I’m proud of you! You’re finally able to act independently!” Levi was utterly pleased as he stroked Forlevia’s head. “Everyone is fine, right?”

Moments later, he started to examine the others’ injuries.

After a thorough checkup, he was relieved that nobody was severely injured. He reassured them, “Okay! Everyone is fine. Most of you only sustain minor injuries. Don’t worry.”

“But the base is considered exposed now. Let me check thoroughly in case those fellows left anything behind!” Levi stated grimly before starting to examine every corner of the base, fearing that the despicable ones had hidden anything there.

He was at ease after one round of checking.

Apart from that, he presumed the elites of the Invincible Clan were not in time to install or leave anything there before they fled.

Obviously, Forlevia’s mighty combat prowess had ruined their plan, catching them off guard.

Soon, Levi walked back to his place with the others. It was also the only place he had not checked yet.

“Huh? Where’s God Crusher?” Levi asked quizzically. He suddenly discovered it had disappeared.

 

Chapter 3343 Not Everyone Can Handle It

Even though God Crusher was just a tool for him, and he usually tossed it aside, he could remember the usual spot vividly.

Before stepping out earlier, he even caught a glimpse of it at the usual spot outside the entrance.

As he remembered it very well, he would be able to sense it at once when God Crusher was gone. Since there was no sign of it at the entrance, it implied that the sword was stolen.

“What? God Crusher is missing?” The news sent everyone into a tizzy.

In an instant, they started to search high and low for God Crusher, but to no avail.

Levi let out a laugh. “It’s all right. I’m sure it’s stolen. But I’ve never expected the Invincible Clan would play such a trick!”

He assumed that the latter not only planned to take revenge against him with a massive blow but also stole his God Crusher.

“I bet it must be the elites from the Invincible Clan. They had schemed perfectly and divided themselves into six groups to strike at six different sections in the base. One of the groups must have stolen God Crusher!” the others echoed. After all, the Invincible Clan were the only ones attacking them earlier.

Forlevia also chimed in, “Yeah! Based on my observation, nobody else had been here before other than them.”

No doubt, Gloria was good at hiding her aura. That explained why she could sneak into the base. Moreover, she was extra careful to hide her aura all the while.

Even though Levi could sense something awry, he could not detect her earlier presence.

Subsequently, everyone jumped to the conclusion that the elites from the Invincible Clan had stolen God Crusher. The latter became scapegoats as they believed nobody else was at the scene.

Levi’s eyes glittered with glints of frigidness as he thundered out, “Very well. I’m impressed! The person surely has the cheek to steal my thing! But what’s the point of doing so? It doesn’t mean that you’ll live long to handle it even if you have the audacity to steal it!”

Everyone could sense the surge of fury in his tone.

Even though God Crusher was just something worthless to him, it was still his belonging. Nobody could handle it as they liked, let alone steal it from him!

It never came to Levi that God Crusher would gain such popularity.

Undeniably, it was an incredible sword. Not to mention, it seemed to be of the ultimate range as it was created during the spiritual energy revival.

As a result, everyone in the Ecclesiastic Order thought it was an Ancient Divine Sword, and all of them yearned to obtain it.

Levi looked up at the sky and stated placidly, “I wonder how the Invincible Clan happened to know about this place. Other than our people here, only a few of them from North Pavilion had ever dropped by our base. It’s impossible that the others from the Ecclesiastic Order know about it too!”

He could not help feeling suspicious of Sonja and the other three as he was convinced nobody else knew about their location. Furthermore, he trusted everyone at the base very much. To him, they were trustworthy and could never be the ones betraying him.

Little did he know that someone among them had fallen into the other’s trap long ago.

At that moment, Bruno and the others were back and updated Levi, “Master Garrison, we’ve found out how the Invincible Clan traced this place! They traded information in Gerton earlier and found out only Sonja and the other three had ever dropped by our place. Thus, they had been tracking down the foursome. We have no idea if they’ve managed to trace their whereabouts. But they knew about our location soon and headed all the way here to seek revenge. Our men tried to search high and low for Sonja and the other three, but they’d vanished even before the battle of North Pavilion. They’re still nowhere to be seen now, and we’re clueless where they’re hiding!”

Everyone thundered out grimly, “They must be the ones!”

“The truth is unearthed. Sonja and the other three must have exposed our place!”

“Pfft! Those two-faced fellows had seemingly abused our utmost trust in them! How could they betray us and shamelessly tipped others off on our location!”

 

Chapter 3344 Pawns

“That was their goal from the start! They lied to gain our trust so they can sneak into our base!”

“I knew Floyd was right from the start! It was obvious there was something wrong with them. Why else would they act so coyly? Besides, they helped us without asking for anything in return. That alone is very suspicious!”

“Also, they knew about the identities of the Invincible Clan but didn’t tell us! They’re clearly not trustworthy!”

“We were wrong to blame Floyd back then! He had been telling us these people were suspicious; yet, we didn’t listen to him! We shouldn’t have let them go!”

Not only were they certain Sonja and the others were responsible for leaking the location of the base, but they also thought that they were wrong about Floyd.

“Find them first!” Levi was enraged.

On the other side, Gloria had brought God Crusher to Sonja and the others.

She showed off the weapon in front of them. “Look at what this is!”

Boom!

Sonja and the others had their mind blown. She really did it? Isn’t this Levi’s God Crusher? This woman is too scary!

“Didn’t you all say I couldn’t beat Levi? That he’s so powerful I have no way to win? Well, I obtained his daughter’s invincible technique and even his Ancient Divine Sword! His daughter’s spiritual bone will be mine soon! Hahaha…” Gloria cackled.

When Sonja and the others were captured, they never believed that would happen.

However, since Gloria had shown them proof she did do it, they had no choice but to believe it.

This is crazy! Just how powerful will this woman become after this? Will Levi still be her opponent? It was making them afraid and despair.

“Oh yeah, now Levi’s certain Invincible Clan was the one who stole his sword and that you guys leaked the location of their base! You lot are getting framed even if you don’t want to.” Gloria grinned maliciously.

“You wre*ch…” Sonja was truly enraged.

Even though they never left, they were framed as the culprit, and Gloria got to walk away scot-free.

This woman is too scary. The scheme she lay out had dragged Levi and Invincible Clan into this mess. She has turned the two most powerful factions in the world into her pawns. No one could’ve done this; yet, she did it anyway. Sonja glared at her.

“Let me tell you what’s going to happen next. Levi and his people will look for you all like madmen. Don’t worry, I’ll properly hide you all and make sure you won’t get discovered. There is no need to thank me for I’m just doing my part. However, I will have to kill you all if necessary. I can’t let Levi and the others find out about me, you see.” Gloria laughed again.

Sonja and the others almost vomited blood. Gloria will definitely make sure we don’t expose her, in one way or another, because if we do, she’s toast.

“All right, I need to visit Floyd again. Once I use him, he’ll confirm with everyone that you lot are the ones who leaked the info!” Gloria then left, leaving Sonja and the others absolutely livid.

Upon hiding God Crusher in a safe place, Gloria returned to where Floyd had his solitary training.

He was currently focusing on cultivation, so didn’t at all realize the Gloria who was with him was a substitute.

Once the real one returned, she sneakily removed the substitute without him noticing at all.

Soon after, the person she arranged to come rushed in and interrupted their solitary training.

“Something bad has happened!” the messenger shouted.

Floyd immediately woke up from solitary training and speedily made his way to the messenger.

Gloria followed him and acted similarly panicked.

“What happened? What’s going on?” he asked anxiously.

“You should return right away, Mr. Floyd. Something terrible has happened at the base. It was assaulted by Invincible Clan. The current situation is still unclear…”

 

Chapter 3345 Mistaken Floyd

That news shook Floyd. “What? How did it happen?”

“Ever since Invincible Clan was exposed, hasn’t your master been trying to look for them? That’s why they tried to look for your base to seek revenge. They put up a bounty in Gerton to find your base’s location and noticed Sonja went to your base before. So, they followed Sonja and launched a surprise attack once they found the base’s location,” the messenger informed.

What he said was the “truth,” in the sense that it was what others were telling each other. If Floyd asked anyone outside about the news, he would get similar answers.

His fists tightened as rage colored his face. “I knew they were up to no good!”

Gloria had been instilling those kinds of thoughts in him for a long period.

As a result, in his subconscious mind, he saw Sonja and the others as bad people.

Once he heard the news about the base, he became even more certain Sonja and the others were the culprits.

He uttered without hesitation, “We really were right about them, Gloria! The guys from North Pavilion do have a hidden agenda! I thought we could trust them because they helped my master and the others without asking anything in return. I should’ve never let my guard down and doubted my instincts!”

It drove him so mad that he punched a wall.

“You should return quickly and check if they’re fine, Floyd! If they need help, come and get me!” Gloria exclaimed.

“Okay!” Floyd immediately returned to the base.

“What’s the current situation, Master? I was in solitary training when I heard about what happened. I came here as fast as I could.” He looked worried.

Levi examined him with a glance. “Seems like the solitary training helped. Your powers have increased. In any case, we’re fine. With Evie here, they’ll never succeed!”

Everyone told Floyd about what happened.

He stared at Forlevia in shock. I didn’t expect she has gotten so strong. Then again, it shouldn’t be surprising. Gloria and I had learned her technique. It is indeed powerful, but it’s a technique that will easily drive people crazy if caution is not applied. Our talent is not powerful enough to handle it completely, so it’s not surprising she’s that strong.

“What? You lost God Crusher?” That news made him furious.

“We really were wrong about you, Floyd. When you told us Sonja and the others were suspicious, we didn’t believe you. Now it turns out you’re right! Those people do have a reason to contact us!”

“They definitely have an ulterior motive for helping us!”

Everyone expressed their apologies to Floyd for not trusting him.

That made him feel pretty good because validating him meant they were validating Gloria, too.

His biggest wish at the moment was to let Gloria meet with them as soon as possible to get their recognition.

That kind of acknowledgement made him feel good.

“While we were fine, God Crusher was stolen by Invincible Clan. This is a huge loss!” The others sighed.

Floyd shook his head. “No, I don’t think Invincible Clan is necessarily the ones who stole God Crusher.”

“What makes you say that?” The others approached him.

“First of all, Invincible Clan only knows the general location of the weapon, and they were given that information by someone else. They definitely didn’t know where exactly God Crusher was kept. Besides, their only goal is revenge. If they really did steal God Crusher, it’s probably because they happened to come across it. Sonja and the others, on the other hand, are really familiar with the layout of the base. They often visited Master’s place, and God Crusher is kept there. I think they knew it was there. Besides, they definitely have an ulterior motive for helping us! They can’t defeat Master, Evie’s spiritual bone is too difficult to steal, so God Crusher is the only thing they can get their hands on! They must have been planning this for a long time to steal it!”

Everyone thought that made logical sense.

 

Chapter 3345 Mistaken Floyd

That news shook Floyd. “What? How did it happen?”

“Ever since Invincible Clan was exposed, hasn’t your master been trying to look for them? That’s why they tried to look for your base to seek revenge.

They must have been planning this for a long time to steal it!”

Everyone thought that made logical sense.

 

Chapter 3347 Gloria Is Worried

Once Gloria learned the news, she smiled giddily. Everything is going according to my plan. Sonja and the others will take the blame for stealing God Crusher. No matter how the whole thing ends, it won’t affect me one bit. No one will notice my presence, which is what I wanted as a mastermind. All of them are merely pawns dancing in my hands!

“Hahaha!” She cackled in front of Sonja and the others.

It made them feel despair. This woman is really scary. Everything actually went according to her plan. All of them had become her pawn. The big players like Levi will never imagine they were being controlled by an unknown side character. Right now, she’s just a nobody. However, it won’t take long before she rises to power and becomes a monster on the same level as Levi and Invincible Clan.

Gloria stared at Sonja and the others and sneered, “I’m so glad I didn’t kill all of you back then. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have witnessed my glorious ascension! You will all be my best spectators!”

Currently, she was feeling very confident.

However, there was one thing making her feel depressed, and that was Forlevia.

That girl is too strong! She’s already on her path to becoming as powerful as her father. Right now, I’m not her opponent.

I may be getting stronger very quickly, maybe a hundred times more so compared to the past, but she’s growing stronger too.

If I can gather an enormous amount of resources, so can she. Of course, this is just temporary. For now, her resources can match mine, but not for long.

After all, all the resources she has are the raw materials, unlike mine, which have been processed.

For example, elixirs made from magical herbs. The effects are much greater compared to the raw materials. Not only that, I can have as much as I want.

After all, my people have infiltrated every faction in the Ecclesiastic Order. The entire order is basically feeding me their resources.

She can’t compare to me in terms of resources, but for now, that’s not obvious. Currently, her resources are still equally matched with mine. The other thing is growth speed.

I’m getting stronger fast, but she’s faster than me. Not only does she have that incredible technique, but she also has the devourer spiritual bone.

Her increase in power is probably ten times, no, a hundred times greater than mine. At this moment, she may have become so strong that I can’t even imagine it.

If that continues, I won’t be able to catch up to her no matter how hard I try. This is the biggest problem I need to solve. I tried to use Invincible Clan to keep Levi busy, but that still didn’t work.

I’m not her opponent. If I want to take her down, I need external help. However, the help I need has to be at least as powerful as the elders from the big factions, like the Three Sages.

If I want to secure my victory, only one or two won’t be enough. I need at least seven or eight of them. The thing is, there aren’t that many of them, even in powerful factions. Where do I go to find that many elders?

This is worrying. I need to take care of this problem soon or I’ll never be able to win. I need to be careful with my planning. It seems like the only way for me to win is to be smart about it. I’ll have to use Floyd wisely.

“If only my cultivation speed can match up with hers…” She sighed.

That isn’t possible for me, though. How can I ever catch up with her ungodly speed?

Still, I can’t give up the opportunity to cultivate. I need to spend my precious time wisely and raise my power as much as I can.

The men I controlled had sent me loads of resources already. It’ll be enough for me to cultivate for a while. Right now, all prominent factions in the Ecclesiastic Order are basically feeding me their resources.

Once enough time has passed, my resources will be greater than hers, especially when the resources will become less and less effective after overusing them.

After all, once a certain power threshold is reached, she’ll need an even higher class of resources. She won’t have them, but I will.

 

Chapter 3348 Confronting North Pavilion

The Ecclesiastic Order had all classes of elixirs.

Since Gloria had just started, the ones she was using were of a lower class.

However, she would be able to get higher-class resources when she needed them.

Even just a single high-class elixir would be more powerful than Forlevia’s mountain of resources.

A battle of attrition was the only way Gloria could hope to defeat Forlevia.

Despite that, Gloria didn’t want to drag out the fight that long.

She wanted to end it as soon as possible.

As she continued her solitary training, she formulated a plan.

Currently, everyone on Levi’s side was looking for Sonja and the others.

Levi couldn’t sit still any longer and visited North Pavilion personally.

Currently, North Pavilion was in the middle of rebuilding, with many more things waiting to be done.

When they saw Levi arriving, the master of North Pavilion and others welcomed him.

Although, they felt scared when they saw his dark expression.

In fact, they had a feeling about what was going to happen.

“Tell the Three Sages to meet me!” Levi ordered coldly.

“Noted!”

Levi took a sit in front of the North Pavilion main hall.

The Three Sages and the master of North Pavilion, along with his men, were sitting on both sides.

“I would like to know where Sonja went,” Levi demanded coldly.

That question silenced the people of North Pavilion.

Of course, they knew what was going on in the Ecclesiastic Order.

Everyone heard Sonja and the others leaked the location of Levi’s base and even stole his Ancient Divine Sword.

Sonja’s father, Valentine Dahlin, was one of the high-ranking officials after the master of North Pavilion.

He stood up and uttered, “Perhaps you weren’t informed about this, but my daughter and the three disciples following her had gone missing, Crown King!”

“Gone missing?” Levi was stunned.

Valentine continued, “Before North Pavilion was in danger, the four of them went to see you! I believe they helped you find where the Bonemasters were hiding. I also provided quite a lot of help! However, I don’t know where they went after that. Even after North Pavilion was no longer in danger, they didn’t return. We still can’t reach them.”

The master of North Pavilion added, “We even believed they died in combat! We simply don’t know their current status until now.”

Levi’s eyebrows furrowed. “They didn’t come back to North Pavilion? But I thought they did after they helped me! Wait, they definitely did come back! According to my calculations, by the time they return, North Pavilion should be under attack!”

Valentine nodded. “That’s why we suspected they died in combat.”

“No, no, no.” Levi shook his head. “When they returned, they saw North Pavilion being attacked. They’re smart people, so I doubt they just ran in and fought. The probability of them dying is low.”

“That makes sense. Back then, everyone in North Pavilion was trapped. The only people outside were the four of them. I think they would’ve tried to look for help instead of joining the fight…” the master of North Pavilion analyzed.

Levi added, “Before they left, I gave them a promise. I told them if they needed help, I’m willing to provide them with aid once. They probably came to find me when they saw North Pavilion was in danger.”

“Eh? That happened?” Everyone was shocked.

However, they were certain that was what happened.

Levi nodded. “That’s right! Even if they planned to hurt me in some way, their main priority should be saving North Pavilion. This doesn’t make sense.”

Valentine assured, “Don’t worry, Crown King. There’s no way they’ll try to hurt you. How can they succeed with their abilities? Even the Three Sages aren’t your opponents!”

After they analyzed the situation further, everyone believed that there was no reason for Sonja and the others to leak out the location of Levi’s base or steal his Ancient Divine Sword.

“Now we got a problem. Why did they suddenly vanish? How did it happen?”

 

Chapter 3349 Monkey

Levi furrowed his eyebrows.

He had interacted with Sonja and the others before, so he was aware that, even if they had ulterior motives, they wouldn’t have the guts to put their intention into action.

Besides, with their abilities, there was no way they could’ve pulled one over on him.

Yet, all evidence pointed to them being the culprit.

They were the only ones from the Ecclesiastic Order who had been to his base before.

Since Invincible Clan didn’t steal his Ancient Divine Sword, it had to be them.

Levi couldn’t imagine there was a mastermind making everything unfold the way that it did.

If there was, then the mastermind would be a terrifying figure, because he couldn’t figure out how they did it.

Sadly, he had no leads to or proof of the mastermind even existing.

He started to wonder who could’ve treated him and Invincible Clan as pawns.

The mastermind had to be someone who was aware of his base’s layout and familiar with Invincible Clan.

He wasn’t sure if someone like that existed, but it was a strong possibility.

Levi then proposed that hypothetical mastermind to the people of North Pavillion.

“Impossible! There’s no one like that in the Ecclesiastic Order!” the Three Sages denied immediately. “It’s impossible that there’s a third party involved! We’re certain no one in the Ecclesiastic Order can pull this off! No one has the capability to do so!”

They had thought about all possible suspects in the Ecclesiastic Order, but no one matched the description.

That was because they ignored one important detail.

They were certain the person who pulled off the scheme was someone of great power, instead of an insignificant side character.

It was a scheme that required strategy rather than power, which was something they weren’t entirely used to.

Levi agreed with the Three Sages’ conclusion.

Because logically, the mastermind had to have incredible power to make the great Levi and the powerful Invincible Clan pawns of a scheme.

They couldn’t fathom that someone less powerful than them could play them like a fiddle because it went against everything they knew.

Besides, Gloria hadn’t left any traces of her existence or made any mistakes so far.

With the imprisonment of Sonja and the others, no one would know what was going on.

That caused Levi and the others to ignore the possibility of a third party.

“In any case, we should find Sonja and the others right now. Once we find them, everything will be cleared up.” Levi brought up an important point.

Of course, he didn’t forget about looking for Invincible Clan while searching for Sonja and the others.

Invincible Clan had become much tamer after losing badly last time.

They weren’t going to show themselves that easily any longer, even though that was a great insult.

It wasn’t like they had a choice. Levi and his daughter were too powerful for them to handle.

They would be wiped out if they didn’t use the most powerful fighters in their clan.

Levi increased the manpower for the search by mobilizing many people from the Ecclesiastic Order.

He directly went to all prominent factions in the Ecclesiastic Order and made them obey him by force.

If they refused to help him, then they would suffer a swift death.

With no other choice, they provided him with their aid.

Almost the entirety of the Ecclesiastic Order was helping him in the quest to locate Sonja and the others.

North Pavilion continued to rebuild as they helped Levi out.

It caused quite a stir in the Ecclesiastic Order.

It was an insult to them that Levi was able to command them to his will.

They were basically a god-like existence before he came around.

It was no wonder they were mad when an outside “monkey” was telling them what to do.

Nevertheless, they had no choice but to help Levi find people, even though they were unwilling to.

It was a grave insult to them.

Who would be willing to let a monkey be the master of its actions?

Soon, many people couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to oppose him.

Finally, someone stood up. “I refuse to let a monkey tell us, the great Ecclesiastic Order, what to do. Our ancestors will be ashamed if they see our current state!”

After that person stood up, many others stood up too.

There were actually a lot of people opposing Levi.

However, the Ecclesiastic Order was made up of many independent factions.

It was impossible for them to go against Levi by relying on their own faction’s capabilities.

They had to work together to achieve that goal.

And so, someone proposed an alliance to hatch a plan to take down Levi.

 

Chapter 3350 Cornerstone Divine Tools

All the factions agreed.

They didn’t want to help Levi find the missing people anymore, because they saw him as a monkey.

No one would let a monkey bully them.

All the prominent factions of the Ecclesiastic Order gathered around to discuss how to defeat Levi.

They were secretly hatching a plan to go against Levi.

“Now, this monkey is super duper strong. He’s so strong that a single faction can’t take him down alone. Got it?”

“We must work together and teach him just how powerful the Ecclesiastic Order is!”

“The only way we can defeat him is by sending the best elites from all factions. Got it?”

The small and middle-sized factions already had an alliance.

With the addition of the larger factions, their strength grew greater.

In just half a day, more than thirty factions had joined the alliance.

Not only that, even the prominent factions in the Ecclesiastic Order could no longer sit still.

The elders of those factions had been staying silent.

Even the masters of the Five Pavilions had been turning a blind eye.

However, their top fighters couldn’t sit still any longer.

What Levi was doing to them was an insult they couldn’t bear to accept.

It was ruining their reputation.

Additionally, they were all pretty prideful people, which made it even harder for them to endure the current situation.

Thus, they had decided that, if their elders weren’t going to do anything, they would take the matters into their own hands.

In reality, they were pretty interested in fighting against Levi.

And so, aside from North Pavilion, the top fighters from the other four Pavillions met up with each other.

They wanted to oppose Levi and kill that “monkey”!

Since they all agreed to the plan, and they overheard the other factions were going to work together to achieve the same goal, they decided to join the alliance.

The alliance was much more powerful compared to the one with Wolf God Palace.

They agreed to meet at a secret location and organized a meeting that involved almost all factions in the Ecclesiastic Order

The smaller factions were led by their fighters while the larger factions were led by their elites.

Their combined power was incredible, and it was greater than the force that attacked North Pavilion.

That attacking force had a lot of people, but only a few were strong fighters.

It was different from the alliance because, in the alliance, all of them were capable fighters.

“I think we have more or less enough strength to take down Levi! We will not allow a wild monkey to piss on our heads!” the crowd exclaimed.

“Not only that, in order to increase the chance of us killing him, the Five Pavilions have decided to use all our cornerstone divine tools!” the representatives from the Five Pavilions announced.

“What? Cornerstone divine tools from the Five Pavilions?”

Everyone’s eyes were sparkling when they heard that.

They were grinning ear to ear because it would indeed increase their chance of winning.

In fact, they became certain it was a matter of time before they killed Levi.

The Five Pavilions had their own divine tools. For example, the divine tool sitting in front of North Pavilion’s hall was the Dragon Trapper Formation.

Once Dragon Trapper Formation was activated, it would protect North Pavilion from harm.

If they had activated the divine tool in time, they wouldn’t have been attacked.

That was why the first thing the attacking force wanted to destroy was the Dragon Trapper Formation because it was that powerful.

The other Pavillions also had their own cornerstone divine tools comparable to the strength of the Dragon Trapper Formation.

In fact, some were even better than the Dragon Trapper Formation because the formation could only protect North Pavilion’s main hall. It couldn’t be used elsewhere easily.

The cornerstone divine tools of the other four Pavillions, however, could.

They were certain Levi wouldn’t survive if all four of those cornerstone divine tools were activated.

No one could imagine that the usually discordant Ecclesiastic Order would be united under the goal of destroying Levi.
