When the Lord received the news, he was stunned, unable to believe Logan’s words were true. A Grand Elder who had entered the Dominator Realm and stood above everyone else was actually slain?
He couldn’t believe it, yet had no choice but to believe since Logan had no reason to deceive him. Moreover, the First Family’s Patriarch had genuinely contacted him and planned to have a eting early the next day, presumably, to discuss cooperation.
It was known that Logan was only in the Mythical Realm, and the fact that he could cause the demise of soone in the Dominator Realm was unbelievable – the gap between their realms was worlds apart.
Even though Logan might not have done the deed himself, it was all due to his cunning plan that played both major factions like a fiddle. When the Lord found out that the Grand Elder was hunting Logan, he even considered going to save Logan himself but couldn’t leave the Million Zhang Territory unguarded for a day, as chaos would surely break out.
The Lord took a deep breath and muttered, “What a terrifying young man. Thank goodness we are friends, not enemies. If we had joined in adding insult to injury back then, who could have imagined if we would end up like the Grand Elder?”
Regardless, it was a good thing that the powerful Grand Elder was gone. The Elder had been challenging the Lord’s position over the years, and the Lord had been wanting to wipe out the Elder’s faction in one swoop but was powerless and afraid of getting others involved. Due to the Lord’s excessive tolerance, the Grand Elder had beco increasingly disdainful of him and built up hidden forces, even uniting with several factions to overthrow the Lord.
Early the next day, the Patriarch of the First Family arrived, showing deference to the Lord unlike his previous arrogant behavior. In the past, Gali Mo, as soone also in the Dominator Realm, did not have the sa insights as the Lord and regarded himself as on equal footing with the Lord.
The Lord was taken aback but smiled faintly, “Rise, why are you so cautious today? In the past, you have never shown such courtesy. You didn’t even bother to bow to and spoke with such arrogance, after all, I have been such a failure of a lord that many want to step down.”
At these words, Gali Mo felt extrely embarrassed. Naturally, he could hear the sarcasm in the Lord’s words. Rembering his arrogance in the past, he now deeply regretted it.
He once thought that the Lord was unworthy, besides having the cultivation level of the Dominator Realm, what qualifications did he have to rule the Million Zhang Territory? Now he saw through it – the Lord’s sches and machinations were too profound, casually sending out a subordinate who played both the First Family and the faction of the Grand Elder to the point of near-collapse.
As displeased as Gali Mo was, he had to bow his head: “My Lord, I was too naïve before, and I must apologize to you. I promise that from now on, my First Family will always obey your command, and anyone who disobeys will be dealt with by our family law punishnt.”
“Haha, I was just joking earlier, no need to be so tense. You are, after all, one of the families within my territory. As the lord of this territory, I must protect you with all my might. In case other lords attack, we all need to unite and resist foreign enemies together.”
The Lord waved his hand, now that the Grand Elder was dead, the First Family alone wouldn’t be able to harm him. He could take this opportunity to eliminate another hidden danger and take complete control of the territory. Upon thinking it through, however, he found this course of action unsuitable since losing two Dominator Realm individuals would be too costly.
Even with him being the sole power in the territory, who could stand up to protect it when foreign enemies arrive? All he needed was to make Gali Mo submit to him, without fighting or killing. This was for the benefit of the territory, as a million-mile territory was too tempting for many strong adversaries with ulterior motives.
Gali Mo let out a sigh of relief and went on, “My Lord, the Elder, this fat man has already been hanged. However, many remnants still provoke trouble. Should we first join forces to stabilize the situation?”
The Lord, slightly startled, understood Gali Mo’s intention, which was to team up and eradicate the remaining forces of the Grand Elder. Naturally, that was what the Lord wanted too. The faction of the Grand Elder was not small, with dozens of throne realm experts and countless powerful subordinates.
If not dealt with as early as possible, the Lord would be uneasy, as the territory’s ticking ti bomb could act out of revenge for the Grand Elder at any ti. Hence, there were only two possible outcos for them: to end up like the Grand Elder in hell, or to be absorbed into the Lord’s faction.
As for Gali Mo’s proposal, it was naturally in line with the Lord’s thoughts. However, the Lord considered many other factors. The Grand Elder’s faction was not to be underestimated, and if he collaborated with Gali Mo to eliminate them, wouldn’t he be making enemies as well? How could he then recover this faction? It was a huge problem.
Furthermore, everyone knew that the Grand Elder and the Lord were at odds with each other. The mont the Grand Elder died, the Lord would be eager to take advantage of the situation; what would others think in that case? They might think the Lord had planned the whole thing, tarnishing his reputation and causing even more problems in the territory.
After so hesitation, the Lord spoke, “You make the move, and now everyone in the territory knows it. Why don’t you resolve the remnants of the Grand Elder’s faction yourself? I promise I won’t interfere.”
“This… I’m afraid it’s not doable.” Gali Mo frowned as the Lord had pushed the hot potato back onto him. His family had the power to sweep the faction of the Grand Elder, but it would also cause his faction to lose half of his strength.
Once that happened, who could guarantee that their family wouldn’t take advantage of the situation? He dared not gamble the entire family on the Lord’s conscience. A single misstep could bury the whole family.
“Gali Mo, you must think about the bigger picture in everything. Since you’ve co here sincerely, I won’t abandon you. I’ll secretly dispatch thirty throne realm experts to assist you, and with your plan, you’ll surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
The Lord continued, now that things had co to this point, whether Gali Mo was willing or not, there was no way to turn back. If he cooperated with the Lord, it would be a better future for Gali Mo. Otherwise, the negotiation would break down, and Gali Mo would be left alone to face the endless revenge of the Grand Elder’s faction.
“A thin, dying cal is still bigger than a horse. Think carefully and don’t make the wrong decision. Besides, as a dignified Dominator Realm expert, do you really need my help when you take action?”
With enticent and threats, the Lord left Gali Mo no room for refusal. In the end, Gali Mo could only reluctantly agree. He had no choice now but to obey the Lord’s commands.
After the Lord’s assurance, Gali Mo secretly gathered thirty throne realm experts, swiftly dealing with the remnants of the Grand Elder’s forces, prioritizing quick battle and resolution, so that the enemies would have no ti to react.
News of the Grand Elder’s life and death had already spread throughout the territory. All of the Grand Elder’s disciples had gathered and sworn to take revenge for the Grand Elder, and make every mber of the First Family pay the price.
However, while they were still discussing, Gali Mo ca with a group of people and killed every one of the hundred-plus people there without exception. Moreover, all the disciples who had previously belonged to the Grand Elder were hunted and killed by sent experts.
