'Lenny' and others finally arrived at the central arena.
The central arena was built by the sect. It was only used by the order of the sect; no other man even dared to enter the arena because it would only an their life would be chased down to hell.
This arena was much bigger than the ones owned by the overlords of this town. It can hold up to eighty thousand people at most. The arena was decorated nicely, as many banners and colorful ribbons covered the scratches it had after so many years.
Right after 'Lenny' and others descended down from their carriages, they were greeted by a girl in a white cheongsam. Each girl led their guests to the top of the arena, where the VIP lounge was located.
Right after they reached the top, Galibar separated from them. He told them that he had to visit soone.
'Lenny' gave a deep look at Galibar's, then went with Kaley to rest on the lounge.
…
Inside the arena, in a well-decorated room.
Odino was sitting on a futon and was reading a report that was made by Vik. It had all the things that had happened in the past year written on it.
Odino read all of it with a bored face. He flipped the pages of the report and comnted. "The sa as usual. This place is so boring."
However, on the last page, his expression changed. A smile grew on his face. "What we have here… Seems like these guys are finally doing sothing."
Vik, on the other hand, was sweating. 'What are you talking about!? There may be a big blood bath in the future and you are seeing it as your enjoynt.'
Odino asked Vik with a smile. "Vik, why didn't you send this report to earlier? I didn't want to miss the start of sothing good."
"Uhh…" Vik was at a loss for words, but he quickly thought of an answer. "Elder Odino, I actually didn't know you liked this stuff. I am so sorry. If sothing like this happens again, I will contact you first even before the sect."
"Haha, it's fine." Odino waved his hands. "But I will be happy if you report about this in the future first."
"I will," Vik strongly promised him.
At that mont.
A deacon opened the door of that room and respectfully said."Elder Odino, the patriarchs and matriarch are here."
"Don't let them stand outside. Quickly let them in." Odino said eagerly as his eyes sparkled.
Vik looked at Odino with a dumbfounded expression. 'Elder Odino is as weird as always.'
Galibar, Brustiar, and Julie entered the room and gave a ninety-degree bow with their fists cuffed.
"Greetings, Elder Odino." They simultaneously greeted Odino with respect.
If anyone from the Highload town were present here, they would be shocked. The high and mighty patriarchs and the matriarch seed to have forgotten about their status entirely.
"Okay, okay, you guys may rise up." Odino humbly told them.
They straightened their posture up, but still, they didn't bring back their haughtiness.
Odino looked at them and asked. "How have you guys been? I heard it is not peaceful here."
Galibar and Brustiar looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
Odino saw their hesitation and smirked silently. "It's okay; forget about these. Today is a joyful day for you all. We should not delve into sothing that might ruin the atmosphere."
Galibar and Brustiar both sighed in relief.
Julie, who was watching it from the side, glanced at them and thought. 'These guys are not seeking or requesting the sect for any help. It looks like they are fully committed.'
Vik looked at them and pondered. 'It seems they will bring a big headache for .'
Vik was assigned here by the sect to watch over the town and maintain it. Not only him, but the entire town's guard squad, belonged to the sect. They were people who felt that they had no more future in cultivation. So they joined here to earn a living. There were also those who were still sect disciples but joined as guards for missions and experience.
Vik had been watching all the skirmishes between these clans and family but he didn't interfere in them very much. Firstly, he gets paid by them from ti to ti. Secondly, he actually didn't care what they did anyway.
"I wanted to go announce about the selection process now, but it looks like many still have not arrived yet." Odino looked at the wall and comnted. Then he looked at the patriarchs and decided to have fun with them. 'Maybe I can rile them up more.'
His face turned serious."So, I think I can talk about sothing serious."
The mont Odino said that everyone focused on him.
Brustiar asked."Elder Odino, what do you want to talk about?"
"It is about the Demon Blight Sect," Odino said it with a stern face.
Everyone's eyes widened the mont they heard it. Galibar asked with a surprised face. "Are those guys about to fight with us again?"
The "us" he was talking about were the sect and the towns under it.
"Yes,' Odino nodded his head."This ti it is a bit too serious. You see, the other orthodox sects won't help us in this fight."
"What!?" Vik shot up from his seat and asked. "But Elder Odino, why wouldn't they help us? Don't all orthodox sects have to do anything not to let the unorthodox sects spread their influence?"
The others also had the sa question on their minds.
Odino sighed helplessly. "They also have their own personal enemies to deal with. Their hands are already full, so they won't be able to help us."
After hearing that, the others panicked; however, Julie silently pondered and then said to Odino. "Elder Odino, the fact that all of them have the sa problem as us. It would only an one thing. So bigger force is pushing all these unorthodox sects to fight altogether."
"Matriarch Julie, you are calm and wise as always." Odino agreed with her and praised her a little. However, Julie didn't show any reaction to his praise, and he didn't mind it either.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Odino's face. "But that is not the main bad thing that happened."
