Chapter 495: 310 World_1
The other Sect Leaders also spoke up, promising benefits to their disciples. Originally, everyone was fearful of the Holy See. However, it seemed as if, in just an instant, they were not afraid. The path of a cultivator is fraught with danger; to obtain cultivation opportunities, one may resort to any means.
For the six Sect Leaders, there was only one thought at the moment – to ensure the loyalty of their disciples. They could not allow any thoughts of retreat. Otherwise, all their previous plans would have been for naught. Besides, the Holy See was an empty threat, and their only enemy from beginning to end was Logan.
As for the promised spirit stones and divine weapons, it would be up to them whether to grant them when they returned to the sect. Even if they didn’t, these disciples couldn’t do anything about it. After all, their power was insignificant and they wouldn’t dare to leave the sect in a fit of anger, given how large the sect’s influence was.
Seeing that the six sect leaders had already spoken, only Celica Shingo gave an awkward laugh. Should he also make some promises? Otherwise, he would seem out of place. Plus, the disciples of his sect were all eagerly looking at him, envious of the others. It was a truly awkward situation for him.
If he remained silent, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. He had already been suspected of collaborating with Logan by bringing the other six Sect Leaders here. At this point, he couldn’t afford to show any sign of inconsistency. Therefore, under everyone’s expectant gazes, Celica Shingo coughed and spoke.
“Everyone, do not panic. As long as we obtain the opportunity provided by the Holy See this time, each disciple will be rewarded with ten spirit stones. Although our Shingo Sect is different from the other six major sects, as the Sect Leader, I will lead by example.”
Upon hearing this, the disciples were immediately displeased. The amount was far too little, merely ten spirit stones. Even adding up all the disciples’ earnings, it would only cost a thousand spirit stones in total. Everyone rolled their eyes.
The disciples of the other sects laughed heartily. In comparison, their sects seemed much more generous. It was truly pitiful to be a disciple of the Shingo Sect. Even if they risked their lives, they would only get ten spirit stones, which was less than what one could get from selling the carcass of a randomly slain Demon Beast.
Celica Shingo coughed and said righteously, “It’s different. Our Shingo Sect has always been good to our disciples. Most spirit stones are used as allowances. Therefore, our sect’s foundation is not strong. The spirit stones I promised could not come from the sect. I would have to pay out of my own pocket.”
The disciples of the Shingo Clan nodded. Indeed, Celica Shingo’s words made sense. The monthly allowance for a normal sect disciple was one hundred spirit stones, while they received five hundred, which was several times more. Plus, all the disciples in their sect took the surname Shingo, so there were many resources available to them.
“That’s not the point. The priority is to break the barrier!” the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect said. We’ve already delayed several minutes. If we can break the barrier now, maybe we can stop people from saving Lowen Shingo. If we continue to delay, we will undoubtedly lose miserably.
Celica Shingo coughed and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry. I still need to discuss with the disciples of our sect. After all, this matter concerns the six major sects. Originally, we just wanted to claim a share of the benefits.”
At the moment, Celica Shingo’s idea was simple: to delay as much as possible. Perhaps Logan had already rescued Lowen Shingo by now. Once the six sect leaders were rescued, they could return to the camp in an instant. Celica Shingo, who was also a Half-step Saint Seat, understood this point, hence he wanted to interfere with everyone.
“Quit the small talk. We’ve already dismissed our suspicions about you, yet now you’re arousing them again. You surely can’t be really colluding with Logan, with the intention of keeping us trapped in this array?”
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was furious and glared at Celica Shingo. If it weren’t for the fact that they didn’t want to break with Celica Shingo at this moment, and still needed to use the Shingo Sect’s power, he would have attacked by now. Celica Shingo was really ignorant of the priorities, and getting out of the perilous situation should be the most important thing.
The other Sect Leaders felt the same. At this moment, Celica Shingo was too suspicious. After all, they had been trapped in the array for too long, and their spiritual energy had been significantly consumed. Everyone was extremely anxious. Who else could remain as calm and unhurried as Celica Shingo, even making jokes?
Celica Shingo was unfazed and explained, “Fine, I just wanted to promote solidarity. Let’s let all the Strong Dominators try to see if they can break the barrier left by Logan. I believe that with the seven of us, the Half-Step Holy Seats, this barrier is certainly not threatening.”
Finally, twenty Dominators present all stepped forward. Everyone gathered their divine skills and attacked the barrier. At the same time, Celica Shingo and the six Sect Leaders also took action. The entire barrier was turned upside down, causing destruction over a few miles, as if everything was about to be destroyed.
However, when the smoke cleared, everyone was in disbelief. The barrier was seemingly unscathed. This amazed everyone. After all, with six Half-Step Saint Seats and twenty Dominators, this force should have been able to sweep across everything. Yet, they couldn’t break a small barrier.
The Heavenly Saint Sect Leader frowned and said, “Something’s not right. Logan is indeed only at the Throne Realm, and even if he mastered an array against the heavens, he shouldn’t be able to withstand this many people attacking. Could there really be a Saint Seat behind him? Otherwise, Logan wouldn’t have the guts.”
“There’s certainly no Saint Seat backing him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so secretive and would have driven us away long ago. I don’t know what method Logan used, but it might be related to the Heavenly Saint Daoist and the Beast King. The opportunity must have been taken by him. The Heavenly Saint Daoist is known for setting up arrays.”
The Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had a profound gaze, but he was also helpless. Was he really going to be trapped in the array forever? However, no matter how powerful the array, it should have an upper limit. There were seven Half-Step Saint Seats on the scene, their destructive power should suffice. Perhaps they just couldn’t find the flaw in the array.
Celica Shingo was stunned. However, unlike the disappointment of the others, he felt a hint of joy. He hadn’t thought that Logan’s array was indeed extraordinary. With this, Lowen Shingo was sure to be rescued. After all, half a stick of incense’s worth of time had passed, and Logan had most likely run far away.
