Chapter 700: Chapter 425: [Buddha]_2
“Grand Elders, I, Michael Silvercloud, am hardly a person of ingratitude and indifference! I can’t just run away alone. Either we leave together or we die together!”
Michael Silvercloud shook his head, his eyes filled with earnestness. Longlin Gate was different from other sects; their most important principle was solidarity.
“Miss, don’t make unnecessary sacrifices!” The three elders said with a bitter smile. The miss had always been one of deep feelings and loyalty—which was why they acknowledged Michael Silvercloud, but staying now left not the slightest chance of survival.
“No need for further words, show Longlin Gate’s valor. So what if we cannot match them? At least we won’t be laughed at!” Michael Silvercloud’s expression was resolute; she knew that even if the three Quasi-Saints joined forces to defend her, if one of the Sanctuary Powerhouses made a move, there would be no escape.
Under the reprimand of Alex Wind, many of the tens of thousands had already made a move. Divine Skill attacks filled the sky, but thankfully on Michael Silvercloud’s side were three Quasi-Saints. Facing the attacks of those in the Throne Realm and the Dominator class, they were under no pressure for the time being, blocking the blows with ease.
After a year’s confrontation over a dozen rounds, Michael Silvercloud’s side had always had the upper hand. In contrast, those who started the fight suffered over a few hundred casualties and injuries.
This scene infuriated Alex Wind, who understood why they were unmatched. It wasn’t that the tens of thousands were too weak, but rather that the Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints within them were unwilling to fight seriously, merely muddying the waters.
“Elders, those Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints among the people have arrogance. If you see anyone not giving their all, directly suppress them with force!”
Alex Wind’s words were loud enough to be clear to everyone: those who were Semi-Saint powerhouses among the crowd were considering the pros and cons. They had only been pretending to fight against Longlin Gate’s people, but now they knew they had to attack Michael Silvercloud and others with the intent to kill.
The Holy Daoist glanced at Logan and asked, “Aren’t you going to lend a hand to Michael Silvercloud? If this continues, they won’t hold for three more rounds!”
“Then let’s get out there,” Logan said with a playful smile, then walked out from among the crowd, looking at Alex Wind and his people with a burgeoning aura.
Alex Wind was extremely unsatisfied. What did these two mean, walking over to his side so openly? Did they truly intend to stand with Michael Silvercloud?
“Kill those two!” Angered, Alex Wind casually waved his hand. The two of them didn’t seem to have a strong presence, most likely only at the Throne Realm level.
He did not notice that the Wind Snow Daoist on the side had a stunned expression, unable to believe it and casting several glances, thinking he had mistaken the person.
The next moment, tremblingly, he hurriedly called out, “Everyone, hold your fire! These two are my friends. Whoever attacks them, I shall not pardon!”
Why would the Supreme Elder value these two so highly? Alex Wind didn’t understand, but without hesitation, he quickly called his men back. He dared not defy the orders of the Supreme Elder.
“What’s this, you want to suppress me?” When Logan was two or three meters away from the Wind Snow Daoist, he said with a teasing tone, immediately causing the Wind Snow Daoist to panic and rush to explain.
Even if he was given a hundredfold courage, he would not dare to be an enemy of Logan. As early as in the Ancient Secret Realm, Logan, relying on his strength alone, passed three challenges and had earned favors from them, the Sanctuary Powerhouses, as well as obtaining the Emperor Weapon inheritance, easily dealing with several Sanctuary Powerhouses.
Even after separating from the others, he immediately went to find out more, eager to know whether what Logan claimed about the Western Wasteland and Central Region in the Secret Land was true or false. The shocking truth left him dumbfounded—Logan had not been boasting; he really had used an array to annihilate two Sanctuary Powerhouses.
From that moment on, he decided in his heart to never oppose Logan. This was not only about alchemy matters but more crucially, he was no match for Logan.
Especially now that Logan was accompanied by the Holy Daoist, who had obtained the Book of Legacy. Adding on his original strength, which was already stronger than their group of Sanctuary Powerhouses, he was now even more unfathomably powerful.
Everyone present was baffled, not understanding Logan’s background—how could someone of Sanctuary Powerhouse level tremble and show fear before him?
You should know that was a Sanctuary Powerhouse, the highest known Realm of cultivators, who could move mountains and oceans with a wave of their hand, and cultivated the force of Law.
Alex Wind, in disbelief, cautiously asked, “Supreme Elder, who exactly are these two? Could you have mistaken them? Their realms aren’t high!”
“You two stop playing tricks. Although I don’t know by what means you have deceived the Supreme Elder, I must tell you, you have offended the Wind Family!”
Seeing the Grand Elder not answering, Alex Wind continued to hurl accusations. Logan shook his head; what a joke Alex Wind was, to think he could actually intimidate him?
Wind Snow Daoist glanced contemptuously at Alex Wind. How could his junior be so foolish? Seeing that even he had repeatedly capitulated, it should be clear that the two, Logan included, were not to be trificked with.
Not high in realm? The Holy Daoist is a genuine Sanctuary Powerhouse, and though Logan may not be one, his combat power is not inferior, even stronger than his own.
On the other side, Michael Silvercloud was dumbstruck. During their voyage, she had noticed Logan and his companion, realizing that they were no ordinary individuals. She had even offered one million Spirit Stones, with the hope of making their acquaintance, but she never expected them to be even more powerful than she thought!
To have a Sanctuary Powerhouse bowing to them, could these two also be of the Holy See? Michael Silvercloud gasped, fortunate that she had not shown the slightest neglect in the past two days they followed her, for if she had offended them, the entire Michael Clan might not be justified in existing.
As for the tens of thousands of onlookers, most of them were still bewildered, unable to discern the subtleties of the situation, only feeling immensely shocked. Have Sanctuary Powerhouses become so humble in this day and age?
Only a few astute individuals now sparkled with delight in their eyes, realizing that Logan and his companion were strong and that stepping forward at this moment must mean they were taking their side. Otherwise, why come forward at all?
Logan coughed and asked, “Before leaving, you repeatedly instructed us to find materials. You want to start a massacre over your private affairs; don’t you wish to succeed in your refining?”
“I dare not. It’s just that the younger members of my sect plead, and I haven’t returned to the sect for a hundred years. I wanted to stand up for the younger generation and seek justice, which brought me here,”
Wind Snow Daoist hurriedly explained. Indeed, when Alex Wind asked him to come to the Eastern Sea, he too hesitated again and again, afraid of running into Logan and his companion who were headed to the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side.
Even Alex Wind, as foolish as he may be, now understood everything, and he petrified: “These two seniors just said they are friends with Michael Silvercloud. What did I just…?”
The thought of potentially annihilating everyone connected to Michael Silvercloud struck Alex Wind like a thunderbolt. If these two were unrelenting, he was doomed today.
At that moment, he was filled with immense regret, wondering why he couldn’t understand the situation thoroughly when the Supreme Elder returned to the sect and why he had to drag the Elder out to cause trouble. Couldn’t he have waited?
“It was his ignorance; he didn’t know about your relationship with the Michael Clan. Once I return, I will ensure he is well taught. Can we not downplay this incident?”
No matter how angry Wind Snow Daoist was, Alex Wind was after all his junior, so he cupped his hands towards Logan, hoping Logan would show leniency.
Logan did not respond but waved at Michael Silvercloud instead: “Having taken one million of your Spirit Stones, how about it? Is this Favor considered repaid now?”
“Senior, I wouldn’t dare!” Michael Silvercloud and his group approached respectfully: “To have both seniors take action is a great honor for the Michael Clan, and this kindness will surely be remembered for a lifetime.”
“How to deal with Alex Wind, let me think about it!” Alex Wind may have been foolish, but after all, none of Michael Silvercloud’s people were harmed, so directly killing him didn’t seem quite right, especially since Wind Snow Daoist had already pleaded his case.
“Bring out one billion Spirit Stones. Your hidden Family Clan doesn’t lack for them. I’ll just consider it a lesson. If you dare again, your only option will be descent into Hell!”
Logan’s demand caused Wind Snow Daoist to breathe a sigh of relief, saving a life was what mattered; though one billion Spirit Stones were a lot, it was a reasonable price to pay.
Being unable to produce one billion Spirit Stones at once, Alex Wind said he would go back and arrange for it. Logan nodded, sure that the other side wouldn’t dare to renege.
And behind Alex Wind, the crowd from the Wind Family followed closely, but Logan cast out a Divine Skill, blocking these people in their tracks.
“Did I say you could leave?” Logan said coldly. Alex Wind might have given a billion Spirit Stones, but these people had yet to contribute a penny.
