Deities: Starting From Goblins

“We, the Five Great Sects, have stood in the Central Region for many years. Have we ever been selfish and self-serving? We have always been committed to maintaining the peace in the Central Region, and we’ve shared the cultivation resources with all sects. Even if we haven’t contributed greatly, at least we haven’t done anything wrong, have we?”

Upon hearing this, Peregrine Azure wouldn’t accept it. If the forces of the Central Region were dissatisfied with them, had they ever considered the consequences if they ceased to exist and the Demon Sect claimed kingship? The entire Central Region would likely descend into chaos, and even if it wasn’t a complete catastrophe, everyone would probably live in extreme hardships.

Lysander Fischer was taken aback for a moment before nodding, “Indeed, I have seen all that Saint Sky Sect has done. But you can’t make things difficult for me alone! There’s a good relationship between my sect and yours,” he said. “Even I have to oppose you, which shows the situation in the entire Central Region.”

“The Western Wasteland is pacified, and Demonic Sky Gate is annihilated. Did you know that?” Peregrine Azure saw the conversation stalling and shifted the topic to discuss the situation in the Western Wasteland.

Of course, I knew about the Western Wasteland. As one of the strongest Demon Sects, backed by the Holy See, it was indeed formidable. That’s why most of the sects in the Central Region dared to join forces with the Blood Drinking Sect to deal with the Five Great Sects led by Saint Sky Sect.

Who could have thought that in less than two days, the whole Demonic Sky Gate, from top to bottom, would be wiped out without a trace, even the strongest Holy See perished along with it. Originally, over a hundred sects in the Central Region planned to take action against the Five Great Sects the day before yesterday, but they halted, considering this very reason and spent the last two days surveying and observing the situation.

“The Western Wasteland has calmed down. Can’t the Central Region do the same? And don’t forget, the Demonic Sky Gate in the Western Wasteland had a Holy See as their backbone. Does the Blood Drinking Sect in the Central Region have one? I have a good relationship with Logan, who defeated the Demonic Sky Gate, and he is currently a guest at Saint Sky Sect.”

Seeing that Lysander Fischer was clearly hesitating, Peregrine Azure continued, “The Blood Drinking Sect won’t be rampant for long. Standing with Saint Sky Sect now is like giving timely help in the snow. Otherwise, once the Blood Drinking Sect is annihilated, there’s no turning back, and you certainly don’t want to steer your sect towards decline.”

“Let me think about it,” Lysander Fischer fell into deep thought. The situation in the Western Wasteland was indeed an example, but it was risky to hastily align with Saint Sky Sect; the chances of victory were still not clear, unless Logan would personally take action and set up arrays like he did in the Western Wasteland.

“The line between the Righteous and the Demon Paths is a thin one, and one wrong step means no return,” Peregrine Azure warned solemnly. He had approached the Fly Geese Door first because he saw that Lysander Fischer was a man with vision, not as ignorant as the other sects, leading their sects to ruin.

After a long time, Lysander Fischer finally came to a decision: “Enough, the Fly Geese Door has decided to return to the Righteous Path and will no longer consort with those other hundred sects. Of course, I have a condition — if those hundred sects come to attack the Fly Geese Door, Saint Sky Sect must come to our aid.”

“Of course,” Peregrine Azure revealed a hint of joy. Having Lysander Fischer agree was a significant breakthrough; he understood that the other was trying to protect himself and stay out of the conflict, which was already not easy for Saint Sky Sect.

In the Central Region, there were over two hundred sects, with forty or fifty of them watching from the sidelines. Only thirty or forty had chosen to stand with the Five Great Sects and other first-rate sects, while the remaining hundred or so sects joined the Demon Sect in an attempt to overturn everything.

At this moment, a disciple outside the door was eavesdropping and his expression changed: “The sect is cooperating with Saint Sky Sect? It obviously has a better future with the Blood Drinking Sect. I must inform the others.”

A few minute later, five or six hundred disciples of the Fly Geese Door gathered outside the main hall, demanding the Sect Leader hand over Peregrine Azure to the Blood Drinking Sect for punishment.

“I am the Sect Leader. Aren’t you being a bit too presumptuous?” Lysander Fischer emerged with an overcast face. He hadn’t expected the disciples of his sect to be so bold and reckless, surrounding his main hall — what did they intend to do? If he didn’t comply, did they plan to lay hands on him?

The leading disciple performed a respectful salutation before saying, “Sect Leader, we cannot cooperate with Saint Sky Sect. Moreover, we have already notified the other sects. I guess they are already on their way here. Peregrine Azure won’t be able to escape today, and you certainly won’t be able to save him.”

“You’ve notified the other sects?” Fury surged in Lysander Fischer upon hearing this. All this had happened without his permission as the Sect Leader. These disciples were truly audacious; those other hundred or so sects were not benevolent. Once they arrived, they would target Lysander Fischer, and would certainly seek to punish the Fly Geese Door.

Peregrine Azure’s brow furrowed as well. If things were like this, his chances of staying unharmed were slim. He could visit each of the hundred or so sects one by one, and whether or not he could convince them to join forces with Saint Sky Sect, at least it wouldn’t be dangerous. But if they united, it would be different — the more people, the more complicated their thoughts become. Regardless of what Peregrine Azure said, it would only provoke them to act against him.

It was just as it had been in the Western Wasteland. Most sects had pledged allegiance to Demonic Sky Gate, and no matter how the three Lords tried to persuade, it was to no avail. Ultimately, Logan had to take action to resolve everything, and those sects also perished at the hands of Demonic Sky Gate. Peregrine Azure had witnessed all of this with his own eyes.
