Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 400: 215

He did not speak a word, but his strength had already proven everything: even a combined force of over a thousand people from the Kuang Quan Sect was insignificant and had no power to fight back against him.

The old man calmly said, “Very strong, I must admit. But I have already called for help. If ten thrones stand by our side, can you two still act so arrogantly?”

He clapped his hands, and powerful auras rushed towards Logan from behind. When he turned around, he saw dozens of people, each of them already at the Throne realm, looking at Logan and his companion with contempt.

“To be honest, I really don’t want to help the Kuang Quan Sect. A sect this small isn’t worth us making a move. Alas, the Lord has issued an order, so we will stay here for an hour.”

One of them stretched lazily and looked at Logan: “Kid, the realm of the Throne is not something to be trifled with. There are too many strong individuals in this world, and arrogance comes at a cost. Two against ten Thrones, you have no chance of winning, especially since you’re just a Transcendent Tier.”

The others laughed heartily. Although there were ten of them, they were not all from the same force. Each of the three nearby Lords had dispatched three people, led by the strongest among them, to assist the sect. After all, the three Lords were all worried that the other Lords would take advantage of the situation and seize the Kuang Quan Sect for themselves.

Only one person was lost in confusion, as he felt as if he had seen Logan somewhere before. However, he couldn’t recall where, and an instinctive feeling told him not to oppose Logan.

After a moment, he finally remembered that Logan was the one who had left his Lord’s side just days ago. He had been there when the Lord had held a celebration banquet, where Logan had single-handedly dealt with the troublesome Grand Elder.

If this was the same person, he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend him. Even a Sovereign Tier Grand Elder couldn’t resist; the ten of them had no chance. To verify Logan’s true identity and see if he had mistaken someone else for him, the man asked.

“Fellow Daoist, may I ask if you are the one who left the Cloud Above Territory, eliminated the Grand Elder and his son, and joined forces with the First Family? Previously, it was rumored that you had slain a Throne alone while you were at the myth realm.”

Logan hesitated for a moment and then nodded: “That’s right. I’ve only been traveling for two days and didn’t expect to encounter such a situation. Does the Lord who sent you here want to go against me?”

“No, not at all. The Lord had no idea it was you. The Kuang Quan Sect just asked for help and offered a huge reward, saying they’d give up part of the Lord’s territory in the future. The Lord was torn between wanting it and fearing that other Lords would take it.”

The man quickly explained and declared, “I will not participate in this battle, and as long as you say the word, I’ll stand by your side. I believe even my Lord would want to personally lead the troops to support you if he knew.”

“Hey, why submit to a mere Transcendent Tier? You are a Throne yourself. It’s not like you to suddenly switch sides! Besides, even with one fewer, the remaining nine shouldn’t suffer any loss in power.”

The others frowned, urging him to make up his mind. Helping Logan would mean offending the other nine, the pros and cons of which were obvious, and there was no turning back once a choice was made.

Unaffected by their words, the man replied firmly, “Let me make this clear, and out of our long-standing acquaintance, I earnestly advise you not to oppose Logan. He is not someone any of you can afford to offend. Inform your Lords that if any harm befalls Logan, our Lord will not let it go easily.”

At these words, the other nine fell silent. They could not miss the implied threat and realized that Logan’s backing was not simple. At this point, they had to weigh whether or not to continue fighting.

“Wait, let me contact our Lord using a secret technique.” One person left, unable to make a decision on his own. The remaining people also used their respective means to contact their own Lords.

After a while, they all returned with the same attitude, deciding to leave the matter behind, as their Lords had commanded not to offend other Lords for the sake of the Kuang Quan Sect.

Subsequently, nine people left, leaving one who said, “Logan, I’ll go too. The Kuang Quan Sect is a group of rabble that you should be able to handle. Staying here has no meaning, so I’ll report back to my Lord.”

At this moment, the most bewildered were the people of the Kuang Quan Sect. They had called on ten helpers, but now not a single one remained. This left them feeling powerless, realizing that even the Thrones didn’t dare to offend Logan, let alone themselves who hadn’t even reached that level.

Fear began to spread, and some retreated: “Why don’t we beg for mercy? We can’t win. Even a thousand of us would be useless. We’ve neglected our cultivation and our combat power is two levels lower than our realm.”

“I regret it, too. I should have left with the Lord yesterday. We’re all to blame for following the elder’s advice, claiming that the formation they set up would be flawless, but now it’s caused us all harm.”

“I don’t want to die. My aptitude for cultivation is one in ten thousand. In ten years, I might reach the Throne realm. If I were to lose everything now, my life would be too miserable!”

The group howled in despair, unable to muster a shred of desire to face Logan, ultimately retreating to a corner. Eventually, they all knelt down and expressed their intention to beg for mercy through Logan.

Ba Ke Yun sighed helplessly: “They’re nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings. I wonder how they could be so arrogant before. Didn’t they ever think that this day would come? I don’t even want to bother with them.”

“I am an elder, and I am willing to negotiate with you both. What do you want in order to spare the Kuang Quan Sect? No matter how harsh your conditions, I can decide on behalf of the Sect as long as they are possible.”

The old man also knelt down, filled with regret. He had laughed at the Sect Leader’s lack of nerve just yesterday, but now he realized he was the real fool. Now, he would be blamed by the members of the sect. The Sect Leader was gone, leaving him to bear all the responsibility.

“I don’t want to waste time. Everyone in the sect must leave unowned land, and none of the cultivation resources here can be taken away. We will check each and every one.”

Logan looked at the people and commanded, “Also, you have one hour to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left in time will become a soul under my blade. The countdown starts now; go.”

The people of the Kuang Quan Sect had only one thought: to flee the sect as fast as they could. As for their belongings, they didn’t matter. As long as they could keep their lives, everything else was secondary.

Ba Ke Yun sighed deeply, feeling the irony of the situation. Yesterday, they had been given a day to leave, but nobody had left, gambling that they wouldn’t dare come. Today, their arrival had them all terrified, making this escape scene all the more ironic.
