Chapter 599: 375 Public_1
As for what would happen after several decades, they could only take things one step at a time. If the Demonic Sky Gate became stronger and even the forces of the Central Region couldn’t defeat them, they could only hope that they themselves would advance to the next Realm and, once they had broken through to the Holy See, they wouldn’t need to fear anything anymore.
Dashiell Skyward’s face was somber, a chilling murderous intent in his eyes, “I’ll ask one last time, are you joining the Demonic Sky Gate or not? Give me a straight answer!”
“I’ve already said it before.” Logan was still calm without a trace of fear, “If you think the Demonic Sky Gate can overpower others by force, then here I stand ready.”
“I admit that your array skills are very powerful, but once I have the intent to kill, I won’t give you time to arrange your arrays. Are you sure you can survive against me?”
Dashiell Skyward advanced step by step; since Logan couldn’t be used by him and might even be an enemy of the Demonic Sky Gate, he had to be utterly uprooted.
At this moment, the three Lords charged forward immediately, “If you intend to harm Logan, you’d better consider whether this is the Demonic Sky Gate’s territory. With us here today, unless the Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate comes himself, nobody can touch Logan.”
“I swear on the life and death of the Wexler Clan, if you dare to make a move on Logan, it will be a fight to the death.” Sandy Wexler’s eyes were also filled with a fierce killing intent. Time and again, Logan had saved the Wexler Clan from calamity. If anything happened to Logan, how could the Wexler Clan face themselves?
Dashiell Skyward was taken aback, somewhat surprised by this scene, “I can understand Sandy Wexler helping you, since you helped him solve the City-protecting Array, but for the other two Lords to be willing to do this much is indeed beyond my comprehension. Where exactly do your skills come from?”
“Don’t be too arrogant, Demonic Sky Gate. We three Lords can return to our own cities, but if you touch Logan, then it’s a different story. Weigh the consequences for yourself, and remember, you’re just the Vice Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate. Don’t let a single thought lead your Sect into danger,” Cain Scarlet said word for word. Indeed, their relationship with Logan wasn’t that good, but they couldn’t let him fall into the hands of the Demonic Sky Gate. After all, Logan had greatly indebted the Scarlet Clan by escorting Tanner Scarlet safely back home.
In their presence, seeing so many Sects deferring to the Demonic Sky Gate had already angered them. If Dashiell Skyward dared to make a move on their territory, that would truly show he had no regard for them. Even if the Demonic Sky Gate was powerful, it couldn’t afford to challenge everyone.
Dashiell Skyward furrowed his brows. In his mind, Logan had to be eliminated, since Logan had no desire to join the Demonic Sky Gate and could potentially become a major threat to them in the future. But now, with these three Lords blocking his way, it indeed wasn’t a good opportunity to make a move.
Even as a Quasi-Saint, he knew that each of the three Lords was at the Quasi-Saint level. If a battle broke out, he wouldn’t gain any advantage. It was hard enough to have persuaded so many Western Wasteland Sects to join the Demonic Sky Gate; if he were to fail here, it would be a loss too great.
But to let Logan go like this was something Dashiell Skyward couldn’t accept; as soon as he left, he wouldn’t have such a good opportunity again. Someone like Logan, an Array Master, would certainly be on guard immediately and prepare terrifying arrays to wait for the Demonic Sky Gate.
Just the thought was enough to send shivers down his spine. After all, an Array Master at Logan’s level could set up top-tier arrays with ease. The Demonic Sky Gate would likely need to send scouts ahead with every step they took, lest they carelessly step into an array and suffer heavy losses.
Dashiell Skyward glanced at the Sects of the Western Wasteland and said, “You all want to join the Demonic Sky Gate, don’t you? Now, go and bring me Logan. Let that be your token of allegiance to join the Demonic Sky Gate. If you’re too scared to make a move, I’ll have to suspect that you were just blustering earlier.”
Those who had just joined the Demonic Sky Gate were stunned by Dashiell Skyward’s words. Were they expected to make a move against the three Lords? At best, they were only half at the level of the Holy See, while the Lords were all Quasi-Saints—there was no comparison.
Yet, since Peregrine Azure had already spoken, how could they not act? If they also offended Dashiell Skyward, then at this point, those Sects felt deeply troubled, having already offended the Lords by joining the Demonic Sky Gate. Now they could only rely on the Demonic Sky Gate.
Watching the Sect Leaders who were thinking about making a move, the three Lords sneered, “You’d better think carefully about the consequences of provoking us. With your second-rate strength, the three of us together could slay you all within ten rounds.”
“Don’t be too confident. Have you forgotten about us?” At that moment, several Sect Leaders from the seven super first-rate Sects spoke up. Several had already joined the Demonic Sky Gate, and their strength was naturally not afraid of the three Lords since they too had reached the Quasi-Saint level.
However, the other few Sect Leaders from the super first-rate Sects retorted, “Calm down. Do you truly want to help Dashiell Skyward against the Lords? It’s shameful enough that Sect Leaders of first-rate Sects would associate with the Demon Path, but to so readily obey his orders now is utterly disgraceful.”
Among the seven super first-rate Sects, three had joined the Demonic Sky Gate, while the other four Sect Leaders stood firm with the three Lords. Despite knowing that the Lords’ side was already too weak to oppose the Demonic Sky Gate, they remained steadfast.
