Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 519: Chapter 334 Battle_1

The explanation given by the powerful warrior of the Heavenly Sword Sect had no weight and convinced no one. After all, the evidence pointed to them. They had been openly confrontational moments before, and if everyone hadn’t united to restrain them, it was likely that everyone from the Flying Flow Sect would be gone by now.

“It’s up to you to believe or not, but the Heavenly Sword Sect is innocent. You can’t just make wild guesses based on minor clues. We are all here to find Logan, it’s not right to start internal conflicts and fight among ourselves!”

The strong warrior of the Heavenly Sword Sect spread his hands, hoping to calm everyone down. After all, someone must be behind all this. Since it was clear that Logan wasn’t responsible, even amongst the dozens of people in the team, every individual was highly suspicious.

Just because the Heavenly Sword Sect has more people, can they get the final say? What if there are hidden powerful fighters within other sects? The strong dominator of the Flying Flow Sect wasn’t that powerful. A perfected dominator could easily kill him.

Everyone fell silent. They couldn’t be sure that the Heavenly Sword Sect was responsible, but their suspicion was indeed the highest, and only their sect had such power within the team. At this point, they were all in a dilemma.

Manager Johnson coughed and said, “This isn’t important. Since we can’t figure it out, let’s not waste time. Why don’t we report everything to the Sect Leader and let the six Sect Leaders discuss how to deal with the situation?”

“Why do we necessarily have to report? Can’t we investigate by ourselves?” The warriors of the Heavenly Sword Sect were immediately up in arms. If the Flying Flow Sect’s leader was informed, wouldn’t there be a mighty storm? Surely a battle between the two major sects would be inevitable.

One of the strong dominators looked resentfully at Manager Johnson, “You are not right. I suspect you’re the one within us with ulterior motives.” The next moment he was ready to attack but was blocked by another strong dominator.

“Manager Johnson is from our Heavenly Saint Sect. Is the Heavenly Sword Sect being too presumptuous? The minute we disagree, you are ready to kill! The dominator of the Heavenly Saint Sect demanded, his face turning dark. This moment completely burned out any flicker of mercy he had for the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect. You dare bully the people of my sect?”

The rest of the Flying Flow Sect also voiced their suspicions, “Our Sect’s strong dominator has fallen. Doesn’t this justify informing our Sect Leader? No matter how domineering the Heavenly Sword Sect, this is not the way. Or maybe you are feeling guilty, worried that the Sect Leader will find out the truth.”

Everyone was looking, and the Heavenly Sword Sect dared not make a scene. They could only watch helplessly as the Flying Flow Sect sent a message by carrier pigeon. With the sudden loss of a strong dominator, it was decided to stall the expedition until the leaders of the Sects provided direction.

Upon receiving the news, the Sect Leader of the Flying Flow Sect was completely furious. His sect had only ten dominant warriors, a result of a hundred years of accumulation. It took a thousand disciples training for ten years to cultivate a single dominator. With one of them suddenly gone, how could he, as the leader, not be angry?

Particularly because the letter pointed to the Heavenly Sword Sect, he immediately suspected them. He had no doubts about accusing Logan. Why did Logan target the Flying Flow Sect? Only the Heavenly Sword Sect had been at odds with them the day before.

In private, the Flying Flow Sect Leader sent five dominant warriors: “You go and catch the three dominant warriors of the Flying Flow Sect. I will find out the truth. If they dare to attack out of guilt, kill them without mercy.”

No sooner than that, the Flying Flow Sect Leader convened the leaders of the other sects. He needed the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader to answer for the surreptitious attack on his sect’s warriors. If they could not provide a reasonable explanation, a battle between the two major sects would be unavoidable.

Upon arrival, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately denied allegations: “It’s definitely not related to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Don’t get too worked up. I know you’re upset about losing a dominator. After we get the Divine Skill from the Holy See, I’ll share it with you.”

“Can’t you at least try a new lie?” The leader of the Flying Flow Sect said sarcastically. The Heavenly Sword Leader was still trying to fool him. Although he normally held back, it was mostly for the sake of the sect’s future.

“The Heavenly Sword Sect needs to take responsibility. Today, a member of the Flying Flow Sect was killed. What happens if our sect is next? We all know you’ve always wanted to dominate, but you’re too hasty and reckless.” Said Celica Shingo, inevitably siding with the Flying Flow Sect. His own sect also sent out quite a few people. What if the Heavenly Sword Sect turned to foul play? Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader had to pay for his actions.

The other Sect Leaders also agreed. If it had been another time, they might not have minded and would have just watched the drama. However, now, all their interests were at stake. If the Heavenly Sword Sect had the means to kill a dominant warrior, any other sect might’ve been the next victim, causing everyone to feel a wave of fear. Didn’t they already fall into the Heavenly Sword Sect’s trap?

The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had a look of distress: “How am I supposed to explain this further? The Heavenly Sword Sect really was framed. Although I don’t know who did it, it must have had something to do with Logan. He clearly wants to create conflict between our sects.”

“You already used this excuse before and we all believed you. If you’re just going to use the same tricks, can you come up with a more reliable story?”

The other Sect Leaders were speechless. No matter how they thought about it, they didn’t believe it was Logan. After all, he and his team didn’t have the power to do this. The note left behind claiming Logan’s guilt had too many loose ends. It was as if someone was deliberately shifting blame onto Logan.

The Sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect gave a signal to reassure the other Sect Leaders: “Give me a day’s time, I will get our Sect’s powerful warriors to find out the truth. If the murderer is not handed over then you can assume it was the Heavenly Sword Sect. I will bear any consequences.”

“Alright.” The other Sect leaders thought it over and agreed. After all, it’s just one more day’s delay. The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn’t dare to scheme against everyone. Moreover, they were curious about the truth. If it really were the Heavenly Sword Sect, how would they proceed with the investigation?

Regardless of his reluctance, the leader of the Flying Flow Sect didn’t have enough sway to resist. So he gave the Heavenly Sword Sect one more day. He then ordered those under him at his Sect not to act rashly and to follow his commands after one day.

On the other hand, after waiting an entire day, the team received a message from their leaders to wait patiently. Left with no choice, they could only continue waiting. The night fell once again. This time, everyone was more alert than the night before.

To avoid repeating the same mistakes, almost every Sect sent out people to keep watch through the night. They positioned themselves outside their own tents, wary of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and set up camp dozens of meters away from the Heavenly Sword Sect’s camp as a precaution.
