Deities: Starting From Goblins

After much thought, Aurelius Azure decided to make a request of Logan, “Could you… I know it’s presumptuous, but Saint Sky Sect cannot afford to lose Peregrine Azure. Considering the past amity between you and Peregrine Azure, could you help him out? You don’t have to visit those Sects yourself, just a few words on his behalf, if you may?”

Logan did not respond, which stiffened Aurelius Azure’s face. Could it be that he’s unable to persuade Logan? It seemed Peregrine Azure was destined to die at the hands of these Sects. Just when Aurelius Azure was about to give up, Logan finally spoke, “I can help you, but I’ve never liked to offer help for nothing.”

“I will compensate you—ten million Spirit Stones,” Aurelius Azure said without any hesitation, his face lighting up with joy. After all, as long as it could be resolved with Spirit Stones, he wouldn’t mind how much it cost, for Peregrine Azure was the Vice Sect Leader of their Sect, and compared to him, Spirit Stones were insignificant.

Logan stood up, took out a Spirit Stone, and then cast a Law Decision Rune upon it, “I’ve simply outlined an array on this Spirit Stone. It doesn’t have much power, but showing this to those people should prove my stance.”

“Thank you.” Aurelius Azure bowed deeply, then handed the Spirit Stone to Lysander Fischer, “I hope you can make this trip. No matter whether you are able to save Peregrine Azure, I will remember this favor.”

“I dare not claim credit. It all stems from Fly Geese Sect; I am merely redeeming my past mistakes,” Lysander Fischer said, accepting the Spirit Stone and bowing to Aurelius Azure before he departed.

In fact, it would be better for someone from Saint Sky Sect to go in person. Aurelius Azure asking him to go instead was clearly a cunning move, signaling to the other forces in the Central Region that Fly Geese Sect and Saint Sky Sect stood together. However, Lysander Fischer didn’t care; with Saint Sky Sect having Logan on their side, he was playing for his future.

From the conversation between the two just now, it was clear that Logan and Aurelius Azure were not close, which meant Logan might not necessarily take action for Saint Sky Sect. Thus, Lysander Fischer had been anxious, unsure of his decision to collaborate with Aurelius Azure.

But judging by Logan’s final stance, he does not wish to see the situation in the Central Region worsen. As long as Saint Sky Sect can offer Logan a satisfactory compensation, Logan would definitely intervene. He may not want to be involved in the turmoil, but why not, if there are Spirit Stones to gain?

Peregrine Azure’s lips curled into a smile as he too left the hall. For him, wasn’t this also an opportunity for a trial? Initially, he wanted to help directly, but he did not want to do so without a reason. With the Spirit Stones, he felt the arrangement was fair and profitable.

Lysander Fischer hastened towards the Central Region, where Peregrine Azure was being detained by more than a hundred Sects, and these Sect Heads began discussing their next move. Should they execute Peregrine Azure immediately, or wait for Saint Sky Sect’s response? Their opinions varied widely.

Some Sect Leaders believed that a battle with the Five Great Sects, with Saint Sky Sect at the helm, was inevitable. Would they back down just because of Logan? Indeed, Logan had annihilated Demonic Sky Gate in the Western Wasteland, but the Central Region was different from the Western Wasteland. They were united as over a hundred Sects. Would Logan really dare to offend all of them?

Others shook their heads, believing that whether or not Logan supports Saint Sky Sect, after destroying Demonic Sky Gate, he was irreversibly opposed to the Demon Sects. And since Saint Sky Sect had always been committed to fighting the Demon Path, Logan would not stand idly by and watch trouble befall Saint Sky Sect.

After all, if Saint Sky Sect were gone, it would mean the Demonic Forces could expand further, which would surely be disadvantageous for Logan, who had already made enemies of the Demon Path. At this moment, everyone had to recognize the fact that Logan had the power to defeat the Holy See—even if it involved offending someone. Since when did a Holy See care about making enemies? Who among them would yield merely due to the number of foes?

“If we all wish to oppose the Five Great Sects led by Saint Sky Sect, is there a better chance than now should we choose to retreat? Those Five Great Sects control too many Cultivation resources; who knows when they might raise a new Holy See?”

Several Great Sect Heads spoke with frustration. Now was the time to act while the Five Great Sects had no Holy See. It was their only chance to turn the tables; if a Holy See emerged, they would remain suppressed by the Five Great Sects for thousands of years to come.

“But Logan!” Many small Sect Heads showed their concern. They were aware of the opportunity but who would dare to challenge Logan, a Heavenly Pride capable of slaying the Holy See? At this moment, Saint Sky Sect, even without a Holy See, seemed all the more formidable.

“Has Logan announced his allegiance to Saint Sky Sect? Will he definitely stand with them? Not even the first brush stroke has been made! You’re all showing your fear like this, no wonder you’ll always remain minor Sects; have you never considered advancing your Sects to become Great Sects?”

These Great Sect Heads continued, with over a hundred Sects united and the backing of the Demonic Blood Drinking Sect, it was a once-in-a-century opportunity. Now, all that was left was to declare war on the Five Great Sects and take control of all the Cultivation resources throughout the Central Region.

“Actually, the Five Great Sects have treated us quite well; they’ve never bullied us!” someone in the crowd muttered, only to immediately draw the hostility of everyone. Those Five Great Sects had monopolized so many Cultivation resources and, even if they had never bullied anyone, that alone was considered a huge offense.
