"Haha, Thaddeus, it's been a long ti, how have you been?"
Outside the Bone and Devil sect's lecture hall, a dark-faced middle-aged man leading several young boys and girls in dark red robes greeted Thaddeus even though he was still a distance away.
"So, it's the elder of the Blood Saber Sect himself. My bad." Thaddeus's face was emotionless. Now, the Bone and Devil Sect has lost all its disciples, there was no one to watch the sect. As a result, he had no idea at all that outsiders had entered the sect and even arrived outside the lecture hall.
"But I do not rember sending an invitation to your sect, have I?"
The elder who ca here is nad Edgar. Hundred years ago, he joined the sect as a handyman disciple. He had a very poor talent. But who could have thought that in just 5 years, he managed to reach the peak stage of Body Refining State being a handyman disciple? So, everyone got suspicious about him having a treasure. But who knows why suddenly the Sect Master took him as his personal disciple? In 20 years, he reached the late stage of Qi refining state and after 30 years he reached the Golden Core State. Now he is nearly a hundred years of age and is already about to enter the middle stage of Golden Core State.
Because of him, the Blood Saber Sect always ranked first in all the Northern Sect Conference etings in the past years. As a result, the Blood Saber Sect beca the number one sect in the outer region. They possess many spirit mines and are in control of many territories.
Not only that, but they are also interested in the territory of the Bone and Devil Sect. But Thaddeus doesn't seem to know why they were interested in this small sect. The only thing remaining here is the graveyard and the underground caves.
"Indeed, we have co uninvited. But it was simply because I had so tasks to do in Lilium City. I got so important news about the Conference there. As this sect is near Lilium City, I thought I'd co and pay a visit too. I wanted to have a look at how you're doing." Edgar guffawed in laughter.
"But it seems like… Thaddeus, your situation doesn't look too good?"
"I don't need you to worry about my sect," Thaddeus responded placidly. But deep down he was feeling really angry. Edgar didn't even address him the way a Sect Master should have. But simply called him by his na despite just being an elder.
"To be honest, Thaddeus, don't you find it tough? Such a huge sect for such a small group of people… and yet you've got to take care of such a large base. I'm really worried for you…" Edgar sneered.
"What do you an, Edgar?" Thaddeus asked impatiently.
"This ti, the Northern Sects Conference will happen in Lilium City after one month. As your sect has ranked last in every previous Conference, and all your disciples have left, the sect ground and this land are getting deserted. So, we and all other sects have co to the conclusion that all these resources are going to be offered to the sect who is going to rank first in the Conference so as not to waste these resources."
"You can't do this." Thaddeus faltered and took two steps back.
"Thaddeus, so I have co here with a solution." Edgar finally revealed his agenda.
"As long as you decide to offer up the grounds to our sect, we'll help your sect ensure its lineage is not broken in the upcoming Northern Sects Conference."
"I can even give you so benefits and compensation which is much better than taking part in the Conference. If you take part in it, then you will definitely rank last as usual. You should know what happens when you rank last, do you? You will loose everything." Edgar confidently spoke.
"This is a naked threat!"
Flas of anger were raging in Thaddeus' heart. But at the thought of the sect's current dire circumstances, he was doused with cold water.
"Think about it carefully, Thaddeus. This is a warning from my Blood Saber Sect." Edgar chuckled and took his disciples away.
Thaddeus couldn't do anything and just could watch them leave.
He was not so naive to think that they would protect the lineage of the Bone and Devil Sect if he gave away their headquarters.
Was not the Blood Saber Sect and the other sects, the reason for the current predicant of his sect? Was it not they who had been acting behind the scenes? Otherwise, it would take many more years for this sect to fall to this state naturally.
He understood clearly that Edgar had co today to deliver a threat. If they did not offer up their headquarters, he would wipe them all out.
When Edgar was leaving with his disciples, he saw a young man coming towards the sect. Davion was also looking at them.
"Eh..soone dares to join this sect?" Edgar and the disciples behind him all laughed.
Davion didn't mind them and entered the sect.
