Deities: Starting From Goblins

Aurelius Azure shook his head and said with a serious tone,

“What do you mean?” These Sect Leaders were confused. From what Aurelius Azure had implied, could it be that Elliott Reynolds was not of the Saint Seat Realm? They had spent several days with Elliott Reynolds, and he indeed had the aura of the Saint Seat Realm—something that could not be faked. Moreover, it would be unlikely for him to not reveal his true nature over the course of several days.

But what Aurelius Azure said made sense. If both parties were of the Saint Seat Realm, what was Elliott Reynolds afraid of? Moreover, Elliott Reynolds had the help of these hundred-plus Sect Leaders. If a real fight broke out, Saint Sky Sect would not stand to gain any advantage, as long as Logan did not use arrays to lend his strength to Saint Sky Sect.

“Elliott Reynolds is not of the Saint Seat Realm, but merely a Pretender. He forcibly elevated his realm because he was afraid he couldn’t defeat the Saint Sky Sect. There are severe consequences for a Quasi-Saint to ascend to the Saint Seat without the recognition of the Heavenly Dao Laws, and even a risk of deviating into madness,” Aurelius Azure explained as he saw the crowd’s puzzlement.

“So that’s how it is.” At that moment, the Sect Leaders understood. Perhaps they had been utterly baffled before as to why Elliott Reynolds had fled so hastily; it turned out he was merely a Pretender. Facing Aurelius Azure, who was a true Saint Seat, he was naturally afraid and timid.

“If you want a way out, you must eradicate the Blood Drinking Sect; otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss,” Aurelius Azure declared with a wave of his hand, giving these Sect Leaders plenty to ponder.

Over a hundred people were silent. If the Blood Drinking Sect only had a Pretender, they naturally would not fear it and could easily destroy it.

At this moment, with deep conflict with Saint Sky Sect, if they did not seize this slim chance, would they really have to fight Aurelius Azure to the death? They certainly didn’t have the strength for that.

So, without much thought, most Sect Leaders already agreed, “Alright, we will go immediately and ensure a satisfactory outcome for Saint Sky Sect.”

“Good, just don’t slack off halfway because the Blood Drinking Sect will definitely try to escape Central Region as quickly as possible. If you’re late, you won’t be able to catch up,” Aurelius said.

With a sigh of relief, Aurelius felt a weight lifted from his chest. Having these hundred-plus Sect Leaders deal with the Blood Drinking Sect meant a huge burden was off his shoulders – after all, he was also a Pretender, and thoroughly eradicating the Blood Drinking Sect would be too difficult on his own, but with these people’s help, it would be effortless.

After watching over a hundred people leave, Peregrine Azure and the others could not help expressing their concerns: “Sect Leader, we shouldn’t have let them go. After all, they were detrimental to Saint Sky Sect previously. Should we just let them redeem themselves for their actions?”

Aurelius gave Peregrine Azure a glance. He too was reluctant to let those hundred-plus people off the hook lightly. But he was also a Pretender; using these Sect Leaders was already not easy. On the contrary, if they truly turned against each other, it would be Saint Sky Sect at a disadvantage, allowing the Blood Drinking Sect to benefit from the conflict.

“I am not a Saint Seat.” In the crowded hall, Aurelius used Divine Consciousness Transmission to reveal his realm to Peregrine Azure. Peregrine Azure was stunned upon learning this; he had always thought that the Sect Leader had broken through to the Saint Seat Realm, not realizing he had been bluffing all along.

But considering that this resolved Saint Sky Sect’s predicament, it was a good thing. Now, they just had to wait for the Blood Drinking Sect to clash with those hundred-plus sects. Saint Sky Sect would not have to lose any of their people, making it a worthy trade-off. Peregrine Azure was at peace with this.

Besides the other four major Sect Leaders, only Peregrine Azure was privy to the fact that Aurelius was a Pretender. Of course, Aurelius was not worried about Peregrine Azure leaking this information, as the Vice Sect Leader was fiercely loyal to Saint Sky Sect.

Meanwhile, after leaving Saint Sky Sect, the hundred-plus Sect Leaders were deep in thought: “Should we really go after the Blood Drinking Sect? Even if Elliott Reynolds is a Pretender, a battle would still cause us heavy losses.”

“To pacify the wrath of Saint Sky Sect, we have no choice!” Several leading Sect Leaders sighed: “Who led us into this predicament? It was all the doing of the Blood Drinking Sect. Even if not for Saint Sky Sect, we should claim justice for ourselves.”

By the time they arrived at the Blood Drinking Sect’s location, Elliott Reynolds had already fled with over a thousand of his followers. The sect was completely empty. The Blood Drinking Sect in Central Region had always been on the run, and this particular establishment was hastily constructed, so abandoning it meant no loss.

The hundred-plus Sect Leaders were furious, clenching their fists: “It’s just as Aurelius said; Elliott Reynolds’s Saint Seat was indeed an act of feigned strength. We were completely played. But the Blood Drinking Sect couldn’t have gone far; we can certainly catch up if we pursue now.”

After an hour’s chase, the group of Sect Leaders finally caught up with the Blood Drinking Sect. Immediately, they unleashed their Divine Skills and surrounded the thousand-plus people from the Blood Drinking Sect.

This development annoyed Elliott Reynolds because there were too many Transcendent Tier disciples in the sect, which delayed their escape. Otherwise, they would not have been caught by these Sect Leaders. But now, it was too late for regrets – a battle was inevitable.

Several leading Sect Leaders approached Elliott Reynolds and sneered, “You dragged us into such a mess, and now you think you can just drop the issue and walk away? The Blood Drinking Sect must pay the price.”
