Ch. 3671..3680
Chapter 3671 Wade Allies With Gloria
The resulting energy shockwave expanded with Xylas at its core, forming an energy maelstrom that spun around him.
It was so powerful that the space within the maelstrom looked as if it was about to be contorted and torn to shreds.
“I’m surprised at how strong you are. It seems that you’re more powerful than Master Thundera when he was searching for Kenfort back then.”
Wade was visibly impressed by what he saw.
As for Grant and the other Paladins, they too were equally shocked.
“How can there be such a powerful fighter in the mundane world?”
“Given his aura, he certainly won’t be among the weakest in Kenfort!”
“To have reached such a level in the mundane world where spiritual energy is limited, he certainly has a lot of potentials.”
“Wade, is your son interested in joining the Void Sect?”
The last question, posed by Grant, came as a shock to Wade.
Even though Grant wasn’t an elite Paladin, his admiration was still a form of recognition of his son’s exceptional talent.
“In that case, I hope you can put in a good word for him in front of the elders next time,” Wade answered in a grateful tone.
Waving his hand, Grant replied, “Considering his talent and on your account, I’m sure it won’t be an issue for him to join the sect.”
“Father, Sirs, my master is tremendously more powerful than I am,” Xylas declared proudly.
“Oh? I didn’t expect the mundane world to have so many hidden talents!” Grant exclaimed excitedly.
Wade, too, had the same realization.
No wonder my son is willingly spending time with a woman. He isn’t blinded by her beauty as I initially thought. Instead, this female lord is the real stuff!
“Father, now that Master Thundera has returned, the broken Ecclesiastic Order has been reinvigorated. Moreover, he has more warriors from Kenfort than we do. Therefore, a direct confrontation would be disadvantageous to us. Why don’t we ally with my master against our enemies instead?”
Tactful in his speech, Xylas highlighted the powerful fighters Thundera had on his side.
By doing so, he managed to turn their enemy’s numerical advantage into an excuse without pointing out that his side was weaker.
Naturally, he framed it that way out of respect for Grant and his men.
Just as expected, a smile flashed across Grant’s face but was quickly replaced by a thoughtful expression.
With an equally deep gaze, Wade, too, was considering the feasibility of the plan.
Seizing upon the opportunity, Xylas continued, “The Glorian Order has spies in every corner of the Ecclesiastic Order. They know all about our enemy’s movements. On top of that, my powerful master will definitely be of great assistance to all of you. In fact, she even has a spy who’s very close to Levi. At the crucial moment, he is capable of doing something unpredictable. Taking everything into consideration, forming an alliance would allow us to kill Master Thundera, Levi, and everyone else who stands in our way. In fact, destroying the Ecclesiastic Order and the base would be a piece of cake!”
No one could deny that Xylas’ plan was a good one.
Hence, Wade felt the impulse to make Gloria his ally.
As for Grant and his men, they, too, were convinced because of their lack of confidence against the enemy.
After all, Thundera had brought with him the young leader of the Bluesky Sect, Hansel. Rumor had it that he was strong enough to take them on.
Moreover, Jasper, the head elder of Bluesky Sect, was also present. If a fight were to break out, they had no advantage to speak of at all.
Under such circumstances, forming an alliance was the best option for them, especially after they heard Xylas’ description of the Glorian Order’s spy network and Gloria’s strength.
“What do you guys think?” Wade suddenly asked.
Three of the Paladins turned to look at Grant, who was the strongest of them all.
After pondering for a moment, Grant put on a conflicted expression as he replied, “There’s no harm in meeting Gloria first and deciding later.”
Meanwhile, in Corpse Pit, Gloria felt as if she was on pins and needles as she paced restlessly around.
Now that Thundera’s and Kenfort’s strengths were known, she knew that she and the Glorian Order alone were not strong enough to resist them.
Chapter 3672 Enchanting The Void Sect Thundera even threatened her to release Eusof and apologize, or he would destroy the Glorian Order.
This upset Gloria even further and made her panic even more.
I wonder how Xylas is doing…
She knew Xylas had gone to meet Wade. If the talk went well, then the Cetus would become a great help to her.
However, allying with the Cetus was just a temporary way for them to survive the threat posed by the Ecclesiastic Order.
Gloria was eyeing a higher goal. She wanted to get into Kenfort and seek a more advanced cultivation level.
Wade was where the key lay. It would be much easier to get into Kenfort through his recommendation rather than trying herself.
Gloria would drool whenever she thought of the holy ley lines and divine ley lines in Kenfort.
The feeling only intensified when the extreme devouring technique she cultivated had experienced a tremendous boost from the ordinary spiritual ley lines.
Hence, it was not difficult to imagine just how powerful a divine ley line would be.
Gloria wished she could enter Kenfort immediately and thrive as the strongest fighter by devouring all sorts of divine ley lines.
Just as she indulged in her beautiful dream, a message from Xylas came in.
Wade wishes to see me? Has Xylas succeeded?
The delighted Gloria immediately rushed to the meeting place set by Wade.
She arrived two hours later, and Xylas introduced them to each other.
“Lord Gloria, thank you for saving my son from danger,” Wade started.
Gloria replied with a smile, “Don’t mention it. It was nothing.”
Throughout the entire exchange, Gloria intentionally unleashed part of her aura in an attempt to increase her worthiness.
In fact, her approach worked.
The Paladins from the Void Sect and Wade were all surprised by Gloria’s strength.
Never had they expected there to be such a powerful individual in the mundane world.
Xylas alone was already surprising enough, but he was far too inferior when compared to Gloria.
Besides, with every increase in her strength, so did her charm.
Every single movement coming from her exuded charm, enchanting those who looked at her.
She had also intentionally performed the Charm Technique, dazzling everyone with her smile.
Even the Paladins from the Void Sect felt their mouths turn dry after catching a glimpse of her charm.
Falling for my charm that easily? It seems that these mighty beings from the Void Sect aren’t too particularly brilliant.
Upon capturing the fiery glances coming from the Paladins, Gloria was all proud and smug.
“Lord Wade, I suppose you’re not here just to thank me,” Gloria asked.
“That’s right!” Wade cut right to the chase. “I’m here to discuss an alliance with you, Lord Gloria.”
Having witnessed Gloria’s strength personally, Wade was no longer hesitant.
“Lord Gloria, given that Master Thundera and Levi are our common enemies, I propose that we work together to strike them down.”
Gloria was straightforward as well as an alliance was what she wanted too.
“That’s not a problem, but I have one condition. I was wondering if you could recommend me to join the Void Sect, Lord Wade?”
In fact, joining the Void Sect was the first step of her plan. It served only as a springboard at best.
“Sure!”
Before Wade could react, Grant had already agreed to it.
The other Paladins bobbed their heads in agreement, for they had all been charmed by Gloria. If they were all in the same sect, they reckoned they stood a chance to improve their relationship with her.
“However, I would need to test your strength, Lord Gloria,” Grant said in a deep voice.
Chapter 3673 Gloria Pretended To Be Defeated “Huh? A test? Will it be too difficult?” Gloria pretended to be in fear and trepidation. Her looks had Grant all hyped up, and he had this strong urge to protect the angel before him.
“Lord Gloria, I will control my power. I promise I won’t hurt you.” “Thank you, Mr. Grant.” “Please drop the formalities. Just call me by my name.”
“Okay.” The smile on Grant’s face widened as he said, “Gloria, we’re going to be in the same sect, so just Grant will do.”
“Okay. I suppose I’ll be in your care in the future, Grant.” Gloria returned him with an alluring smile.
On the side, Wade was in awe at seeing how Gloria quickly charmed Grant by building a bridge with Grant and closing the distance between them.
Putting her strength aside, Gloria’s ability to charm these men by just talking alone proved her worthy enough to be an assistant to him in the future.
Besides, his son, Xylas, was Gloria’s apprentice.
“Gloria, come at me. I will be defending.”
With that, Grant put up a defensive stance.
Although Gloria had demonstrated her ability, Grant figured he could still gain an overwhelming upper hand against her.
Gloria smiled sheepishly. “Well, then. Forgive me, Grant.”
Before she finished, she slammed her palm on Grant’s chest.
Swoosh!
The force of her attack was so strong that the displaced air could be felt before her palm itself hit its target.
The wind howled.
She’s strong!
Grant’s expression dimmed, for the strength Gloria displayed right now was far stronger than before.
He did not dare to take it lightly. Performing his technique, he took the hit from Gloria head-on instead of evading the attack.
Bam!
The violent auras clashed for a split second before the two backed off. But very quickly, they met each other head-on again.
As the battle continued, Grant was surprised by each blow exchanged. He realized that he could not gain the upper hand against Gloria despite using more than half his full strength.
At the same time, Gloria managed to work out Grant’s strength.
So this is the power of the Paladins of the Void Sect?
Gloria sneered inwardly but showed no sign of it on her face.
At this point, she reckoned that if she unleashed her full strength, she would be able to defeat Grant completely.
However, now was not the time for her to reveal her full strength.
Hence, she started adjusting her energy output and the tides turned slowly.
Despite that, it was already enough to stun Wade and the other three Paladins from the Void Sect.
They could tell that Grant only managed to suppress Gloria after using eighty percent of his full strength.
She’s strong! If she entered Kenfort, she would only become even stronger under the nurture of the dense spiritual energy.
After they exchanged a couple more blows, Gloria pretended to be defeated and was sent flying away.
“I lost. Grant, you’re strong!” Gloria panted. “You’re capable of overwhelming me without using your full strength. No wonder you’re considered a powerful paladin in the Void Sect!”
Grant was on cloud nine after being praised by Gloria.
“Gloria, you’re absurdly talented to be able to reach this level in the mundane world. You’ll only become even stronger than before after entering Kenfort. Perhaps I would even have to count on you in the future!”
Grant’s words were not entirely sincere, but he was genuinely shocked by Gloria’s strength.
She was considered outstanding for fighting against him, who had used seventy percent of his strength.
“With Mr. Kenwood’s recommendation, you’re bound to join the Void Sect, Lord Gloria.” Wade flattered Gloria before turning to her with a serious expression.
Chapter 3674 Presenting The God Crusher
He changed the subject curtly. “If you wish to attain a higher position, however, you will have to offer something bigger.”
“I understand, Lord Wade.” Gloria nodded, then put on a troubled look. “But what should I offer to get the sect’s attention? Could you please advise me?”
“Easy!” Grant piped up. “The head of the Void Sect focuses on swordsmanship, but he couldn’t find a good weapon for himself after all these years.”
“Grant is right. The Void Sect will ascend as one of the strongest sects if we acquire a mighty strong sword.”
“But that’s too difficult for Gloria, is it not?”
“Yes. There’s no way that the mundane world possesses such a powerful sword. I guess we have to look for another way.”
Gloria’s heart thumped. She recalled the God Crusher that she had stolen from Levi’s base, which came in handy right now.
If she presented it to the council members of the Void Sect, then perhaps she would be valued and could soar to a greater height.
Grant thought that the request he mentioned had deeply troubled Gloria after seeing how she fell into silence. ”Don’t worry, Gloria. When the time comes, we will definitely help you think of another way.”
“Thank you,” Gloria replied gratefully, but she was smirking inwardly.
Wade and the Paladins from the Void Sect were still too naïve.
To be more precise, they had severely underestimated Gloria’s ambition.
At this moment, Gloria was already planning for the future.
I will use Grant as a springboard to reach the council members in the Void Sect and become a core member.
This was the only way for her to establish her position in the Void Sect to avoid having to answer to the ordinary members.
By then, she would be able to utilize the sect’s resources to boost her strength and head to a larger platform.
It would be best if she could enter the top sects in Kenfort because only then would she be able to become the most prominent person in the world.
“Let’s talk about our collaboration first, shall we?” Wade suggested.
“Yes. How to deal with Master Thundera and Levi is of the utmost importance right now.” Gloria nodded. “Spies of the Glorian Order have infiltrated all the sects worldwide, especially the Ecclesiastic Order. This allows us to stay up to date with their next moves. Therefore, although killing Master Thundera and the rest would be a little time-consuming, we could still eradicate the factions in the Ecclesiastic Order quickly.”
“That would be great.” Wade nodded satisfyingly.
“But Master Hansel of the Bluesky Sect is a problem. Killing him is easy, but it won’t be easy to deal with the Bluesky Sect,” Grant said.
“That’s right. Although the Void Sect outperforms the Bluesky Sect in many aspects, we can’t guarantee that the sect will stand up for us. However, if we could offer something in return, we could gain the trust of the council members. The Bluesky Sect will no longer be a problem if we can get their attention with something valuable.”
Gloria remained silent, but she had a deeper understanding of the few now.
In the end, the ranks of these men were still not high enough.
If they really did kill Hansel, they could not guarantee that the council members of the Void Sect would stand up for them.
However, if the core members of the Void Sect were to be involved, the tide would turn instantly. Wiping the Bluesky Sect out would not be a problem when that happened.
Let’s hope that the God Crusher is powerful and worthy enough to win their favor!
Gloria prayed silently.
The alliance was basically formed with that.
Gloria immediately announced to the world that the Glorian Order would ally with the Cetus and the Void Sect.
And the announcement left the world in turmoil as soon as it was made.
Chapter 3675 Making Moves In the Ecclesiastic Order’s meeting room, everyone’s expression was exceptionally solemn. The core members of the Ecclesiastic Order dared not even take a breath.
The room fell so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Upon catching a glimpse of Hansel’s ugly scowl, Thundera said, “Leave us. I have something to talk to Master Hansel.”
Only then did the members of the Ecclesiastic Order breathe a sigh of relief as if a huge burden had been taken off them. They bolted out of the room. They could tell the arrogant Hansel was stressed at the alliance of the Glorian Order and the Cetus.
After they left, Thundera unleashed his aura to form a soundproof barrier around the meeting room. “Master Hansel, what do you think about this?” Thundera asked cautiously.
After pondering for some time, Hansel said, “This is tricky. It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but I must admit that the Void Sect outperforms the Bluesky Sect overall. If the council members of the Void Sect get involved, even the Bluesky Sect will face destruction, let alone the Ecclesiastic Order.”
Fear had finally found its way into Hansel’s mind.
The Void Sect was a mid-level sect in Kenfort, and it overwhelmed the Bluesky Sect in every way.
“In my opinion, you don’t have to worry too much, Master Hansel,” Jasper said abruptly.
“How do you mean?” Hansel arched a brow.
“Master Hansel, think carefully. The Void Sect is undoubtedly powerful, but Wade is someone at the bottom of the hierarchy. Will the Void Sect go on a war against us because of such an insignificant person?”
“You’re right!” Thundera’s eyes lit up.
Be it the mundane world or Kenfort, the sects would only do something as long as there was something in it for them.
It was more so for those in Kenfort, who practiced the survival of the fittest principle in their world.
It was not uncommon for them to annihilate an entire sect to seize cultivation resources.
Although the Void Sect overwhelmed the Bluesky Sect in every way, they would have to pay a hefty price if they forced the Bluesky Sect into the corner.
Wade was just a pawn in the mundane world, and his position in the Void Sect was pathetically low.
Without any return on investment, the Void Sect would not go through all the efforts and fuss for an underling like Wade.
“Fair enough, Mr. Xanadu.” Hansel paused for a second and changed the topic quickly. “But we can never be so certain about something. What if they have something that the Void Sect values deeply?”
“I suppose you’re overthinking, Master Hansel.” Jasper chuckled. “What can a sect in the mundane world offer to the council members of the Void Sect? A peerless sword?”
It was no secret that the only reason that stopped the Void Sect from becoming one of the strongest sects was the lack of a peerless sword.
To a sect that mainly cultivated swordsmanship, a powerful sword was an existence that was closely tied to their lifeline.
“Hahaha. You’re right. Seems like I’ve overestimated him…”
However, Hansel trailed off when he noticed Thundera’s grim expression.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Hansel was puzzled.
“Master Hansel, from what I know, the person who stole the God Crusher from Levi is Gloria.”
“The God Crusher?” Hansel’s expression was exceptionally solemn.
Jasper instantly shot a question. “Is it a powerful sword?”
“You can say that. It is said that the God Crusher has a certain degree of self-consciousness and carries immense power in it. It is so powerful that it granted Levi the power to reign victorious against the many top-tiered forces across the county.” Thundera revealed the information about the God Crusher that he learned from the Ecclesiastic Order to them.
He also included all the unrealistic rumors about the God Crusher in his explanation.
“A weapon left behind by a heavenly god? That’s ridiculous,” Jasper sneered.
Hansel, however, replied solemnly, “If Levi is capable of unleashing such power through the God Crusher, what would happen if it fell into the hands of a powerful swordsman?”
Chapter 3676 Backstabbing Levi Everyone’s heart fell further into despair. They were crystal clear that Hansel was speaking the truth. After all, if Levi, a commoner in their point of view, could stand unrivaled just because of the God Crusher alone, then a powerful swordsman could undoubtedly unleash a power stronger by folds.
Coincidentally, all the Void Sect needed was just one powerful sword. If the Glorian Order offered the God Crusher in exchange for the help of the powerful warriors from the Void Sect, it would be a catastrophe.
“So it’s impossible to demand them to release Master Eusof and apologize to us anymore?” Thundera sounded a little bitter, but he also knew that they were worried not without reason.
Although he was on good terms with them, this moment was critical to the sect’s survival. Thus, if it involved the welfare of the Bluesky Sect, Hansel would choose the latter over them even if he was on good terms with them.
“Not only is it impossible, but we’re also in danger.” Hansel heaved a sigh.
Despair was written all over the faces of the Bluesky Sect members.
Meanwhile, those on the base had also received the news.
In an instant, chaos descended, and the lethal pressure on their shoulders intensified.
The Glorian Order is already absurdly powerful, and they’re now allying with the Cetus? Who else can stop them now?
This thought was present in almost everyone’s mind.
During Levi’s absence from the base, Xylas was already capable of stirring up chaos and turning the base upside down, let alone the powerful Gloria.
With the addition of the powerful warriors who had returned alongside Wade, the joint forces were unrivaled.
“Don’t forget that the Ecclesiastic Order is not on good terms with us either. They only pledged their services to Boss as an expedient measure. Now that Master Thundera has returned with the warriors from Kenfort, he will not need to rely on others anymore. In fact, he might turn around and seek vengeance against us. With three powerful hostile forces coming at us, even Boss won’t stand a chance.”
Fear and worry began filling their minds rapidly.
The prolonged absence of Levi from the base only worsened the situation. Some, of course, had asked about it, but Phoenix and the others had avoided answering their questions directly.
There were no exact answers to their questions until now, which further intensified the sense of insecurity of the personnel on the base.
In fact, Levi had been busy.
Batches by batches, Levi had been sending Bruno and the others into the super-spiritual ley line in Elterton to metamorphose.
He even trained them personally in an attempt to raise a mighty army.
However, no one knew about this, including Forlevia and Zoey.
At this moment, alarm bells were ringing in Floyd’s head as well.
He had been devouring the spiritual energy and strength of the enemies, enhancing his cultivation level.
Yet, he worried the most about Gloria, for he received news that the Glorian Order was working with the Cetus to wipe out the Ecclesiastic Order, which would significantly threaten Gloria’s life.
Hence, he contacted Gloria in every way possible, but he received no response from her.
Is she hiding somewhere else? That’s right! She must be! Wade and the others are powerful, and they can locate her location with their equipment.
At this thought, he sent another few messages to Gloria: Don’t worry, Gloria. I’m strong enough now. If the Glorian Order goes to war with the Ecclesiastic Order, I will be by your side without a doubt. As long as I’m around, no one can hurt you!
After sending his messages to her, Floyd continued devouring the spiritual energy around him. He needed to get stronger.
Meanwhile, at the altar of the Glorian Order in Corpse Pit, Floyd’s messages had, in a way, reminded Gloria about something.
She figured that she would have no more use for Floyd anymore after she revealed her identity to the world.
What use do I have for him if I don’t manipulate him into backstabbing Levi?
Gloria smirked, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Chapter 3677 Pill Gloria went through every plausible plan with careful consideration. She reckoned that an extreme measure must be taken to have Floyd commit such a treacherous act as he was Levi’s most trusted apprentice.
She had poured a lot of effort into sowing discord among them, or he wouldn’t have told her that he had made a move against Bruno.
If it weren’t for Forlevia’s interference, Phoenix and the others would have also suffered severe injuries. All of these indicated that the previous work she had done to drive a wedge between them was starting to bear fruit.
However, with them being only Levi’s subordinates, it was not particularly burdening for Floyd psychologically when he attacked them.
Looks like I have to exploit Floyd’s feelings for me now. Maybe accusing Levi of injuring me will result in an incredible outcome.
Gloria started thinking carefully to ensure her plans were flawless.
But Floyd is not strong enough!
Gloria was at a loss. How would she find a super-spiritual ley line for Floyd when there was already not enough for her?
“Lord Gloria, I have a way that might just work.”
Bone Grandmaster was eager to redeem himself after failing to locate any super-spiritual ley line.
“Oh? Speak.”
Gloria’s interest was piqued.
Bone Grandmaster replied, “I’ve seen this particular black magic in this ancient manual I read. It is called Demon Incantation. By using a pill made with specific ingredients and with the addition of a specific technique, one could draw out the inner demon within one person. The inner demon would tremendously spike the person’s power and alter his behavior entirely. When the time is right, the caster can easily make the target commit various unexpected acts by using the spell.”
“Oh? There’s something like that?” Gloria was instantly struck with happiness and excitement, for it was entirely something built for Floyd! “But it takes time to create the pill. Time is a luxury now.”
“Lord Gloria, I made these pills long ago. Three were used for experiments, and there is one remaining.”
With that said, Bone Grandmaster took a bottle out of his pocket, twisted it open, and revealed a purple pill.
Gloria took the bottle and praised, “Good. Bone Grandmaster, you’ve done well for the Glorian Order!”
With everything in order, it was time to complete the puzzle.
After making up her mind, Gloria immediately contacted Floyd to set up a meeting.
Upon receiving her message, Floyd was elated. He immediately set out to see Gloria at a breakneck speed.
“Gloria, you’re finally willing to see me!” Floyd was so happy that he almost teared up.
On the other hand, the feelings of revolt crashed against Gloria like tidal waves, but she showed none of the disgust on her face. Instead, she replied gently, “Desperate times call for desperate measures. I had no choice but to cut off contact with the world.”
“I can understand. The alliance between the Cetus and the Glorian Order is too powerful, after all.” As he spoke, Floyd approached Gloria and tried to hug her. He missed her terribly.
Gloria quickly took a few steps back.
“Floyd, now is not the time for romance. My sources tell me the Cetus and the Glorian Order will be making a move against the Ecclesiastic Order in no time. How are you going to protect me with your strength right now? Listen to me. We can be truly together after we get through this crisis.” Gloria put on an anxious expression as she spoke.
At once, Floyd was overwhelmed with guilt. He thought he was too impatient.
“Then you’re here today for?” Floyd asked in puzzlement.
Gloria replied mysteriously, “I learned a spell from an ancient manual in the Ecclesiastic Order where one’s strength would be boosted tremendously with the help of a pill. I’ve already tested it myself, so it’s all right. I just wanted to share this with you.”
Gloria proceeded to unleash her aura after that.
“Gloria, you’re so nice to me!” Floyd was so happy that he almost teared up.
Chapter 3678 Master Hansel Has Arrived
Floyd didn’t doubt Gloria’s words one bit. Gloria’s aura is a lot stronger than the last time I met her. She must’ve used a secret technique. Otherwise, she couldn’t have improved so quickly.
Gloria stared at him alluringly and said, “You’re my man. Who else is going to be nice to you if not me?” Floyd was on cloud nine when he heard that.
“Take this pill and quickly channel the technique I’ve taught you. At first, you’ll feel agonizing pain. However, you must endure it and keep going. Otherwise, all your efforts prior would be in vain.” With that, Gloria gave him the Pill of Evil.
Floyd unhesitatingly swallowed the Pill of Evil. After that, he cultivated by using the technique Gloria had taught him.
In the beginning, Floyd felt nothing out of the ordinary. As time ticked by, he started feeling his veins swelling up at an incredible rate.
However, he remembered what Gloria had told him, so he just kept cultivating.
A few moments later, Floyd was on the verge of losing himself.
However, Floyd was completely unaware of it. He could feel a strong aura circulating within his body, so he merely thought the secret technique was working.
Meanwhile, Gloria noticed it when she saw the edges of Floyd’s eyes getting darker.
Keep cultivating, okay? When you’re done, you’ll be able to serve me. A sinister smirk appeared on Gloria’s face.
Meanwhile, Thundera and Hansel decided to work together with Levi to defeat the Glorian Order and the Cetus.
After all, the feud between Levi and the Ecclesiastic Order wasn’t that serious.
They could always settle their differences after dealing with the Glorian Order and the Cetus, who were their biggest concerns at that moment.
With Levi by their side, they had a better chance of winning the battle.
They wanted to completely eradicate the Cetus, Xylas, and the others once and for all.
Once they had come to an agreement, Thundera, Hansel, and the rest went to Levi’s base to find Levi.
When they arrived outside of the base, Phoenix and the others, who were on patrolling duty, spotted them.
“Are you guys not going to welcome Master Hansel of Bluesky Sect?” Thundera’s thunderous voice rang out as he used his energy to amplify his volume. It was so loud that it could rupture one’s eardrums.
Phoenix and the others frowned. Although she wasn’t happy with Thundera’s haughty attitude, she knew it was justifiable.
Hence, she quickly reported their arrival to Zoey and Forlevia.
With Levi’s whereabouts unknown, Zoey was the person in charge at the base. Besides, Forlevia was the one with the highest combat prowess at the base after Levi.
In fact, even before they received the report from Phoenix, Forlevia, Zoey, and the other core members of the base had already rushed out to see the visitors.
With guards around her, Zoey arrived in front of Thundera.
“May I know what we can do for you?” Zoey asked in a solemn voice.
The expressions on the base members’ faces were somber, and the atmosphere was tense.
Thundera glanced at the crowd and saw no sign of Levi. Although these people are stronger than ordinary cultivators, they’re still not qualified to talk to us.
“Where is Levi Garrison? None of you are worthy enough to talk to Master Hansel directly,” Thundera uttered arrogantly.
Hansel then swept a gaze through the crowd and snorted contemptuously. “Seeing how weak you guys are, I regret my decision to come here to discuss an alliance.”
“With their abilities, they’ll only end up being cannon fodder,” Jasper chimed in.
Phoenix and the others clenched their fists in anger because they could feel the opposite party looking down at them.
Forlevia was frowning in anger as well, but she managed to suppress her emotions.
Naturally, Zoey was pissed off. However, she reacted differently because she heard Hansel saying that they were there to discuss forming an alliance.
“Calm down, everyone. Let’s hear them out,” Zoey uttered.
After calming everyone down, she turned toward Hansel and said, “You must be Master Hansel of Bluesky Sect. Since you’re here to talk about allying, don’t you think you should show us basic courtesy?”
Chapter 3679 Refusal “Courtesy?” Hansel laughed as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Do you deserve it?” Zoey’s expression changed instantly. At that moment, she was on the verge of having a fallout with them. However, Levi is not at the base now, and these people are mighty beings from Kenfort.
If we were to fight them, everyone here is going to die. Besides, the Glorian Order and the Cetus have their eyes set on us. It’s actually best if we can link up with Master Thundera and the others. After all, we were worried that Master Thundera would target our base prior to this.
“These people are too arrogant!” “They’re so cocky! If Master were here, they wouldn’t dare to act this way.” “Still, considering our circumstances, it’s better if we can work together with them.”
Everyone at the base was pissed off, but they were forced to face the harsh reality. Regardless, it would be hard to work together with people who had their noses in the air all the time.
“Why not?” While everyone was in a dilemma, a deep voice rang out from afar.
“Boss is back!”
“Master is finally back!”
“Let’s see if these people will still dare to act haughtily.”
Instantly, everyone’s mood was lifted.
A moment later, Levi showed up.
Tensing slightly, Hansel and the others sized him up. However, they soon regained their arrogance because they realized that Levi was not that much stronger than the others. Therefore, they still thought he was not worthy of speaking to the Paladins of Kenfort directly.
“Are you Levi Garrison?” Hansel asked in a mocking tone.
Levi nodded and questioned, “Are you guys here to talk about forming an alliance?”
“I suppose so.” Hansel then added indifferently, “Actually, we’re here to offer the lot of you a chance to live.”
“Oh? How do you mean?” Levi acted as if he was puzzled.
In a deep voice, Hansel said, “The Cetus and the fighters of Void Sect have already linked up with the Glorian Order. You guys wouldn’t stand a chance if you were to fight alone. On the other hand, if you join me, the Cetus and the others will be wary of attacking you. Most importantly, this is a priceless opportunity for you.”
“What do you mean by that?” Levi asked curiously.
Hansel flashed a smile and answered, “Once everything is settled, I’ll let you come to Kenfort and join Bluesky Sect. By then, you’ll be able to enjoy life to the fullest.”
Hansel was arrogant, and he was speaking to them as if he was superior to all of them.
“That sounds tempting! Not only will we be safe, but we’ll also be able to enter Kenfort!” Levi exclaimed in excitement.
Hearing that, Hansel was overjoyed. Negotiating with him is easier than I thought!
“Therefore, I refuse to form an alliance with you!” Levi suddenly changed his stance.
Huh? Hansel was stunned. Levi seemed so interested in my terms just now!
Jasper, Thundera, and the others were stumped as well.
Thundera couldn’t help but ask, “Are you joking, Levi?”
In response, Levi answered, “Do we even know each other that well? I would never joke with people who aren’t my friends.”
What the f*ck? Thundera almost cursed out loud. This fellow makes my blood boil!
Hansel’s expression darkened as well. “Levi, do you know you’ve just turned down an opportunity of a lifetime?”
“Oh? Was that an opportunity of a lifetime?” Levi chuckled coldly and continued, “By forming an alliance, you just want us to be your cannon fodder. Am I right?”
“Y-Y-You…” Hansel’s lips twitched. He was embarrassed because Levi had just exposed him in front of everyone.
“You’re going to regret this!” Hansel waved and turned toward the others before ordering, “Let’s leave!”
Levi sneered as he watched Hansel and his ilk walk away.
Chapter 3680 Fight Levi After a long silence, Phoenix was the first to ask, “Boss, are we really not going to form an alliance with them?” Hearing that, everyone turned their attention to Levi. Our refusal to work together means we’re going against Master Thundera and the fighters of Bluesky Sect.
In other words, we’ll become enemies with the Ecclesiastic Order. “Did they look like they were sincere in forming an alliance with us?” Levi retorted.
Phoenix found herself at a loss for words. Indeed, Hansel clearly didn’t respect them. “Don’t worry, everyone. I have a plan.” Levi calmed the crowd down.
Levi wasn’t being reckless. It was just that he knew what Hansel and the others were up to. Therefore, he knew how to deal with them.
At the same time, Thundera and the others were annoyed because they had just gotten rejected.
They didn’t expect Levi to turn them down so bluntly.
“Levi, that b*stard! He’s so ungrateful!” Hansel was infuriated.
“Calm down, Master Hansel!” Jasper urged. “Since Levi wants to die so badly, we should just let him be!”
“Master Hansel, Mr. Xanadu, what do you guys think about Levi’s capability? Is he that strong? Was he bluffing when he rejected our offer or was he just confident in himself?” Thundera asked solemnly.
Jasper pointed at the Bluesky Sect’s Paladins and answered, “I think Levi is only as powerful as them. He might be strong in the mundane world. However, he’s nothing compared to me and Master Hansel.”
Thundera heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Levi is still on that level, there’s nothing to worry about.
“What should we do next, then?” Thundera asked.
After some thought, Hansel said, “Since Levi is being so ungrateful, we should just look for someone else to ally with to attack Levi. As for the Glorian Order, I’m sure the Cetus and the others will leave. It’s just a matter of time. After that, we’ll settle the score with the Glorian Order.”
“Yes, Master Hansel,” Thundera agreed.
After some discussion, they decided to get the Glorian Order to release the hostages first. Then, they would link up with the Glorian Order to fight against Levi.
“I’ll go there personally. That way, it’ll seem more sincere,” Thundera suggested in a self-aggrandizing manner.
Hansel and the others agreed, and they would remain at the Ecclesiastic Order to wait for his good news.
With that, Thundera arrived at Corpse Pit alone.
Gloria was surprised when she was told that Thundera had come to meet her. According to reports, it seems like Master Thundera is here to form an alliance with me.
“Let him in!” Gloria instructed.
After saying that, Gloria put on her mask. Since he’s the leader of the Ecclesiastic Order, I shouldn’t reveal my identity first. If he finds out that I’m the Ecclesiastic Order’s spy, he’s surely going to cancel the negotiation.
The moment Thundera stepped into the hall, his eyes fixed on Gloria.
“What do you want, Master Thundera?” Gloria asked in a deep voice.
In a good-natured tone, Thundera said, “Lord Gloria, please release Master Eusof and the Top Ten Paladins. After that, we’ll team up to fight Levi together. Does that sound good?”
“I don’t have a problem with teaming up with you to fight against Levi. However, I’ll only release the hostages after we succeed in killing him.” Gloria smiled.
“Sure!” Thundera answered with a serious expression.
It was a pleasant conversation, and they reached a consensus fairly quickly.
Gloria’s expression turned grim after she watched Thundera leave. Considering what I’ve done to Master Eusof and the Top Ten Paladins, Master Thundera is surely going to come after me once I’ve released them. Form an alliance with me? I bet he’s just using me.
“Master Thundera, I know exactly what you’re doing,” Gloria murmured smugly.
