Chapter 1510 -1510: Inviting Various Major Sects_1
The First Elder’s body had not recovered, and he had suffered heavy injuries several times. He now looked like an old man in decline.
“First Elder,” the Deputy Sect Master greeted the First Elder.
The First Elder coldly looked at the Deputy Sect Master and asked, “Is the Cloud Sect under your control? Is it all about what you say?”
The Deputy Sect Master remained silent, but he seemed to have guessed what the First Elder was about to say, and his face didn’t look good.
With his hands clasped behind his back, the First Elder slowly said, “I agree with everyone’s proposal to negotiate with the North Plain.”
Upon hearing this, the Deputy Sect Master’s face turned extremely ugly.
Many of the elders present smirked.
“Have you heard? The First Elder has spoken. What else do you have to say?”
“Indeed, don’t forget that the First Elder is the real acting sect master.”
“Since the First Elder has spoken, Deputy Sect Master, you don’t have much reason to persist.”
Everyone demanded the withdrawal of the troops from the border and giving up resistance against the North Plain.
As everyone was talking, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Deputy Sect Master.
The next moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the First Elder’s back!
The First Elder vehemently spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to turn around, glaring at the Deputy Sect Master as if trying to say something.
But before he could speak, he fell straight to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed dramatically!
“Deputy Sect Master, what do you mean by this?! Are you trying to rebel?!”
“You actually attacked the First Elder! Have you gone mad?!”
“First Elder, are you alright?”
The Deputy Sect Master coldly glanced at everyone and slowly said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t kill him. He’s just unconscious. He needs rest anyway, so let’s not make him overstressed.”
With his hands clasped behind his back, the Deputy Sect Master said indifferently, “While the First Elder is not here, I call the shots in the Cloud Sect. I can oppose any opinions.”
The expressions of many elders present were somewhat ugly, as they hadn’t expected the Deputy Sect Master to be so ruthless!
“Pass on my order, send reinforcements to the major cities, and have the Formation Masters set up formations,” the Deputy Sect Master ordered coldly.
“Deputy Sect Master, isn’t this too much?!” someone shouted angrily.
Hearing this, the Deputy Sect Master didn’t hesitate to raise his hand and slap the accuser.
“Bang!”
With just one slap, the elder was coughing up blood continuously.
“Does anyone else have any objections?” the Deputy Sect Master coldly swept his eyes over everyone.
The scene fell into silence, and no one spoke up.
“Since everyone has no objections, let’s do as I say,” the Deputy Sect Master said coldly.
Having said that, he turned around and left.
As he reached the doorway, the Deputy Sect Master suddenly stopped.
He looked at everyone and said, “From now on, whoever proposes peace talks with the North Plain or gets close to the North Plain will be killed without mercy!”
After leaving this sentence behind, the Deputy Sect Master left the meeting room.
In the meeting room, everyone exchanged glances, with some even dripping with cold sweat from their foreheads.
No one seemed to expect the Deputy Sect Master would be so domineering.
…
Nexinton Mountain.
Justin Vasquez and others had already arrived on Nexinton Mountain.
However, apart from them, no one else was present.
“You see, as I said, those sect masters are very proud and arrogant. They wouldn’t listen to your call,” Clay Freeman muttered.
“Exactly, even my grandfather couldn’t gather many people back then,” Alfred Freeman added.
Speaking of Randall Freeman, Justin Vasquez couldn’t help but ask, “Where has Elder Freeman gone?”
“I don’t know,” Ethan Smith shook his head.
Ever since the Great War, Randall Freeman had never appeared again, and no one knew where he had gone.
“Mr. Smith, should we continue waiting?” someone asked.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath and said, “Let’s wait for another day. If no one comes, we will give up.”
Clay seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he waved his hand and said, “I’d better go drink.”
The next day.
Ethan Smith stood at the entrance of Nexinton Mountain, waiting from morning till evening, but not a single person came.
“Sigh.”
Ethan Smith sighed. All these people were sophisticated egoists, they probably wouldn’t come unless there were benefits involved.
As the sky darkened and Ethan Smith was about to turn back, a figure suddenly rushed towards him from afar.
It was none other than Gregory Hum.
“Sorry, I’ve been a bit tired lately and took a few days off. I’m late,” Gregory Hum yawned and said.
Ethan Smith hurriedly saluted and said, “Gregory, I’m content that you’ve made it.”
As they spoke, more people came one after another.
In the blink of an eye, a total of eighteen people had arrived.
This surprised Ethan Smith. Was it a coincidence that so many people came just as Gregory arrived?
In fact, these people had been hiding in the dark for several days, wanting to observe before making a decision.
If it was just Ethan Smith and the young people, they would simply leave, believing that they wouldn’t be able to achieve much.
But if the three lunatics and three extremes like Gregory were to join, they would show up, hoping to get some benefits.
Ethan Smith quickly understood this logic, and after a brief thought, he said, “Everyone, please rest for a while. I’ll have someone prepare a meal.”
“There’s no need for that. We didn’t come all this way just to eat,” someone said.
“That’s right. Tell us directly what’s the matter, Mr. Smith.”
Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Ethan Smith remained silent for a moment and then said, “Well then, without further ado, esteemed seniors, please!”
OEveryone was welcomed into Nexinton Mountain, and they all gathered in one place.
Whether it was the sect masters or the young talents, everyone was sitting below, waiting for Ethan Smith to speak.
Ethan Smith glanced at everyone and solemnly said, “Thank you all for coming. This gathering is about the North Plain Affairs.”
“The North Plain has been committing numerous atrocities and taking countless lives. Many people in the Southern Province have been affected. I wonder what your opinions are on this matter.”
“What opinions could there be? We could have peace talks and even receive a copy of the Sacred Heart Formula, but unfortunately, some people disagreed,” someone snorted sarcastically down below.
“Exactly, where’s all this righteousness coming from? Everybody is merely looking out for themselves during a disaster; who can care about everything else?”
“What’s the point of keeping those useless people? How can they contribute?”
Ethan Smith had already expected this kind of reaction. As expected, it was too unlikely for them to resist the North Plain unless they felt their personal interests were being harmed.
But if the North Plain fully infiltrated the Southern Province, could anyone really stay uninvolved?
“If Mr. Smith really wants to resist the North Plain, you’d better go to the northern border instead of wasting your breath here,” someone said mockingly.
Ethan Smith looked at everyone and then said, “Once I enter the Mighty Realm, I will naturally go to the North Plain. However, before that, I’m afraid that some of you might suffer certain damage.”
