Chapter 64: Too Late To Regret.

Chapter 64: Too Late To Regret.

The following day, news about the attack from the Radiant Sect had spread throughout the Western Region.

"The Radiant Sect has become enemies of the whole Western Region."

"Indeed, they have. If not for the Dust Valley Sect, many people would have lost their lives to their evil practices."

"Agreed. They must be destroyed to set an example for all other evil cultivators."

"En! We should also join the group that was going to attack the Radiant Sect. We can’t allow them to continue to exist in the Western Region."

People gathered in twos and threes on the street, in taverns, and restaurants, discussing the evil attack from the Radiant Sect while condemning their actions.

As the people were condemning the actions of the Radiant Sect, inside the Radiant Sect, a thick tension permeated the air.

Inside the sect’s grand hall, the Sect Master looked at the few remaining elders with solemn expressions on their faces.

All the elders were looking at the Sect Master, waiting for his decision. The decision from the Ancestor was only known to a few and the Sect Master.

Thus, they all held a grudge against the Sect Master for making such a reckless decision.

They were an orthodox sect, but now, they had become an evil sect that everyone hated.

"Sect Master, what are we going to do?" Supreme Elder Wen asked in a cold voice. "We must decide before the Dust Valley Sect Master’s wife arrives, or else, we can only wait for our destruction."

With the Dust Valley Sect Master’s wife becoming a Golden Core expert, they knew the tide had changed. They’d lost and could be at the mercy of the Dust Valley Sect.

Shaking his head slightly, the Sect Master seemed to have aged beyond his years. ’I thought this would be the rise of our sect, but now, it is our downfall.’

’Why? Why would the Ancestor do this to us?’

Even though he knew the Ancestor was going to attack the other clans and the Dust Valley Sect, he thought it was going to flex his muscle as the new overlord of the region.

But he was wrong. Their Ancestor had taken an evil path and wanted to sacrifice thousands of people.

Just thinking about it made him curse the Ancestor over and over again. He wished the Sect Ancestor had long died and he wouldn’t have to face the current problem.

Unfortunately, there was no pill for regret.

Lost in thought, the Sect Master was jolted by an elder’s voice.

"Sect Master..."

"Hmm?" He furrowed his brow, his gaze shifting to the elders, whose eyes glimmered with unsettling anger.

A wave of worry washed over him as he sensed their looming discontent. He exhaled for the umpteenth time and opened his mouth slowly.

"W-What do you suggest we do?"

He had thought of various ways that would help them solve their current predicament, but none of them worked. It all led to a dead end.

Thus, he could only throw the problem back to the elders.

No one spoke for a moment. Even though they hated the Ancestor and Sect Master for their actions, they still needed to come up with a plan to save the sect.

Just then, a steward’s voice came from outside.

"Sect Master..." His voice was filled with urgency.

"Speak!" the Sect Master snapped.

He was overburdened to care for any other matters right now.

"The various Clan Masters have arrived, and they are coming here as we speak."

"What!"

All the elders widened their eyes in shock. They did not expect their reaction to be this quick.

"We need to come up with a solution immediately," an elder said in panic.

With the arrival of the Clan Masters, if they did not give them a satisfactory answer, their sect would be destroyed, and by next year, it would become history.

Taking a deep breath, Supreme Elder Wen responded, "I think we should relinquish all our resources and businesses to them and hope they won’t tear us to pieces."

When the Sect Master and elders heard this, they creased their brows for a moment before a deep sigh escaped from their mouths.

As long as they survived, losing these resources would be worth it.

"Where is your Sect Master!" A thick voice echoed throughout the sect. "Come out immediately or we will start killing."

The blatant threat made all the Radiant Sect disciples furious. How could a mere Clan Master threaten their sect?

Alas...

From the grand hall, the Sect Master and the elders came out only to meet the piercing gaze of the Clan Leaders.

Without waiting for the Sect Master to speak, the Fang Clan Master said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, you must give us a satisfying answer today, or else, we will raze your sect down."

"You dare!" An elder pointed furiously at him.

"Stop with your arrogance. Do you think you’re still the overlord of this region? Wake up," the Lei Clan Master said with a scornful look.

Being ridiculed left and right made the Sect Master and elders’ blood boil with fury. What impudence?

When was the last time a mere Clan Master dared speak to them like that?

Unfortunately, they could only swallow down their anger.

Moreover, could they fight all the clans in the Western Region? They knew the answer already.

Taking a deep breath, the Sect Master wore a forceful smile. "Since we are at fault, we will compensate you for your loss."

When the angry Clan Masters heard this, they creased their brows and their anger reduced, waiting for the Sect Master to continue.

"We’ve agreed to relinquish all our businesses and resources to you." The Sect Master’s voice was filled with bitterness. "You can divide it among yourselves. I hope that satisfies you."

For a moment, everyone was quiet. The Clan Masters did not expect everything to go smoothly with the Sect Master and elders.

They exchanged subtle glances. Since the enemies had already given up all their assets, there was nothing to do any longer.

Just then, the Bai Clan Master spoke. "Sect Master, you must be mistaken if you think we only came for your sect’s assets."

The Sect Master and elders turned their heads and looked at the shrewd Bai Clan Master. "So what else do you need?"

"Your sect techniques."

"Impossible!" Supreme Elder Wen was furious.

How could this shameless man demand the core techniques of their sect?

"What do you mean impossible? I think you’re still delusional, thinking you have the right to bargain in this situation," he sneered.

"Apart from taking all your sect techniques, you must promise never to open your gates for the next fifty years."

"Huh!"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. This was no different from crippling the sect.

However, when they remembered the sinister blood sacrifice array, they realized this punishment was nothing.

Without waiting for the Sect Master to speak, the Bai Clan Master continued, "Either you accept this or your sect will be destroyed. Choose."

In just a few words, the Bai Clan Master had pushed the Radiant Sect Master and elders into a corner.

They glared hatefully at him, but there was nothing they could do.

With the threat of the Dust Valley Sect hanging over their heads, they could only swallow this grievance.

"We agree," the Sect Master said in a low voice, his face marred with shame.

Not only him, but all the elders also wore shameful expressions on their faces.

With all their core techniques gone, how could they hope to bounce back from this setback?

Without caring about their emotions, a light smile crept up the Bai Clan Master’s lips.

"Good. You’ve made the right decision."

With that, he sauntered off, grinning happily.

Without the appearance of the Dust Valley Sect, he knew this was a rare chance to make the Radiant Sect bleed.

For decades, the Radiant Sect had occupied the rare resource locations and swallowed a lot of businesses, but now, they would vomit all without keeping anything.

Even though they would have to give most of it to the Dust Valley Sect, the ones that remained were enough for their clans to swim in wealth for the next few years.

Dust Valley Sect.

Inside the grand hall, all the elders wore bright smiles on their faces.

"Sect Master, congratulations on your breakthrough," an elder said with a bright smile.

"Ah! Thank you." The Sect Master smiled.

All the elders congratulated him one after the other with their faces filled with pride.

Now, their sect had not only a single Golden Core expert but two at the same time.

How could they not be happy?

In the Western Region, no one could challenge their authority.

Meanwhile, in the Refining Hall, Mo Jian, with the two elders, was back to their research and study.

With their study of Mystic Mechanics growing every day, they realized how crudely they had been using the power of runes and formations.

They could do more.

They did not need to inscribe runes or set formations blindly. They could calculate everything and set it up with ease.

With such a method, the power contained in their runes was ten times more powerful than before, and this was just the beginning.
