Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250 Everyone Has a Sense of Crisis_1

Hearing the other party asking him to step forward, Peter Brown pretended to be confused and said, "Why do you say that?"

"My name is Wisdom Brown, one of the Executive Elders of the Beast Sect. You can just call me Master Uncle. You may not be very familiar with the situation of our Beast Sect, let me tell you about it."

The name was quite...

Peter could only smile inwardly, but he also saw that this Wisdom Brown regarded him with great importance.

Wisdom Brown took a sip of tea and said, "Although we won the Divine Sense Battle this time, there’s a great calamity hidden within. I didn’t expect so few of our people to come out from it. It seems that the Demon Sect used the Linked Heart Divine Consciousness Device to consolidate their power and then brutally massacred our people everywhere. The Beast Sect has suffered tremendous losses and will find it very difficult to recover in the short term."

Peter had not really thought about it so thoroughly before and nodded in agreement upon hearing this. The Linked Heart Divine Consciousness Device allowed their people to quickly assemble and then carry out encirclement and suppression by region. It would indeed be difficult for the members of the Beast Sect to contend with the powerful personnel of the Demon Sect. No wonder so many people failed to emerge.

Originally, Peter thought that the members of the Beast Sect who hadn’t come out had simply lost their way; only now did he realize he had been mistaken, and it was likely they had been massacred.

Wisdom Brown looked at Peter and said, "The Divine Sense Battle has been fought many times in previous years, and most of the people were able to come out each time. Yet, it turned out like this today, and the strength of our Beast Sect has been greatly weakened."

"Master Uncle, if that’s the case, what kind of consequences do you think will follow?"

After a moment of hesitation, Wisdom Brown said, "I called you here to talk about just that. It doesn’t matter that we won and received the support from the higher-ups—in a year’s time, clan eradication will not be allowed, but people don’t necessarily need our clan to be eradicated, do they?"

"You mean other powers will try to intercept us?"

"Not just other powers, the Demon Sect will definitely do such a thing!"

"The Demon Sect?"

"Indeed, many of the Demon Sect’s members didn’t come out, but their people are certainly alive; they just didn’t have a node to emerge from. We’ve learned through certain channels that someone sabotaged their node, but the high-level cultivators inside didn’t kill them off—they gave them a chance."

"Yes, the next time the Divine Stone opens, they’ll come out as long as they find the gate."

"You’re right. They’ve gathered thirty thousand people together, which no power can deal with under such circumstances. For them, surviving until the next node appears and then leaving is not a problem!"

"I understand what you mean. You’re suggesting that the Demon Sect will seriously weaken our power and then struggle to wait for the emergence of their own?"

Wisdom Brown nodded vigorously and said, "The Demon Sect and our Beast Sect were originally on par with each other in terms of strength. Now, with so many of our Beast Sect members dead and the Demon Sect defeated yet unharmed, all they need to do is preserve their lifeline, and the sect would survive. Come the next great sect battle, they can propose a Divine Sense Battle. That’s entirely possible. As long as they make the proposal, those outside and inside will be reinstated. By then, what will our Beast Sect have to fight them with?"

So there was such a rule!

Peter was taken aback.

With a sigh, Wisdom Brown said, "In fact, the Demon Sect has a very close relationship with the Flower Sect. They should have already joined forces with the Flower Sect. If the Flower Sect makes a move, our journey home will be difficult."

"The Flower Sect?" Peter thought of Edward Campbell, the lad he had subdued from the Flower Sect.

"The Flower Sect was a faction that failed in the previous term. They had lost protection and were supposed to be eradicated, but they formed a marriage alliance with the Demon Sect and got their protection. The power of the Demon Sect in turn was strengthened. Now, the Flower Sect has also nearly recovered, and they are definitely going to repay that favor."

"Master Uncle, have you concluded that we will be intercepted on our way back?" Peter understood the source of Wisdom Brown’s unease.

Wisdom Brown nodded and said, "I’ve felt uneasy along the way. Have you noticed? Our Flying Immortal Devices are divided into numerous large groups, and everyone is on full alert. Yet, nothing has happened so far. But once we pass this region and enter an area called the Deadwood Wasteland, it’s complicated there, and I feel they will make their move. This flying vehicle originally had considerable power, but because you took out thirteen high-level cultivators from the Profound Immortal Level, our strength has been severely weakened!"

Peter chuckled and said, "Those were just some trash. Were you counting on them?"

Wisdom Brown also laughed and said, "Well said. Since you were able to kill those thirteen, you’ll have to be more attentive about our safety in the next step. I was worried we wouldn’t make it back, but with you as an unpredictable factor, it seems somewhat safer now."

"You’re overestimating me. I’m not that capable."

Wisdom Brown smiled and replied, "Whether you have the capability or not, I don’t know. But I do know one thing—it’s a life or death battle. If you don’t give it your all, you’re on a path to certain death."

"Master Uncle, I’ll do my best when the time comes."

Wisdom Brown gave a slight smile and said, "As long as we can safely return, I will speak on your behalf."

Peter glanced at Wisdom Brown, recognizing him as a formidable man who had taken everything into account—only now did he come to discuss the price with Peter.

However, with a person from the Heavenly Sovereign Layer speaking on his behalf, Peter felt somewhat reassured.

"What is the strength of the three factions?" It was still Peter’s main concern.

Wisdom Brown replied, "The strongest person in each of the Three Major Factions is at the Heavenly Venerate Peak. I haven’t heard of anyone breaking through yet. However, each faction has about ten to twenty people at the Heavenly Sovereign Layer. Our Beast Sect has twenty Lord Heavens, but you should know—if they are two factions joining forces, the Demon Sect has nineteen Lord Heavens, and the Flower Sect has fifteen. We simply stand no chance against their combined forces. Fortunately, we also have friendly sects. It’s just that this time, on the journey back, we don’t have the time to ask for help. They are banking on this time difference."

Peter nodded. Everyone was taking precautions; it was not certain that they would actually attack.

Yet when Peter pondered it carefully, he felt there was indeed a high likelihood that the two factions would join forces for an ambush. Even if they couldn’t eradicate all of the Beast Sect members, eliminating another half would still be a victory for them.

Learning that the highest cultivator among the adversaries was only at the Heavenly Venerate Peak, Peter’s expression relaxed.
