Chapter 780: End of the Competition

Just as the grand elder did not know what to do, his expression suddenly had a slight change. A sliver of courtesy appeared on his face before he spoke to the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect, “Four protectors, the ancestor of our Zaar family would like to extend an invitation for you to visit out Zaar family.”

The four protectors pondered a while before one of them said without any expression, “Lead the way!”

The four of them did not dare to act recklessly in the City of God. After all, the Holy Empire was not just any small nation. The Zaar family of the City of God were extremely powerful, ranking on top among all the ancient clans. The four of them did not want to offend the Zaar family before completing the sect master’s orders unless forced to, or they would just earn a name of incompetence.

The four people followed the people of the Zaar family and disappeared into the horizon. All the other people who had gathered also dispersed one by one, but they all pondered over something weird. They wondered what the traitors of the human race mentioned by the four protectors was about.

“Looks like the Bloodsword sect hasn’t come for Yang Yutian.” The president of the Radiant Saint Master Union relaxed slightly.

Watching the four people disappear into the distance the grand elder behind him commented, “But the four of them have already been invited away by the Zaar family. They may not have come for Yang Yutian, but I worry that the situation will change after they leave the Zaar family.”

The president shook his head, “It shouldn’t. With my understanding of the Bloodsword sect, even when they need to assassinate people they will only send people who have similar strengths to the target. They never send assassins who are much more stronger. Yang Yutian is still a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master. With their pride, they definitely will not stoop so low to kill a twenty-odd-year-old junior.”

“Most importantly, the Bloodsword sect’s already stepped down and hasn’t returned. As long as they don’t return they won’t accept it.”

“Then we don’t need to worry.” The grand elder relaxed secretly before following the president back to the headquarters.

In a beautifully-decorated room at the Zaar family, the four protectors sat quietly in seats to the side. They were received personally by the grand elder as a sign of respect towards the Bloodsword sect. The grand elder possessed an almost-paramount status in the sect. He was the third most powerful in the entire clan, only ranking below the ancestors. The family had already shown enough respect by getting him to receive the four protectors.

The hall was currently empty. There was no one else other than the four protectors and the grand elder. A powerful barrier suddenly appeared and enveloped the entire hall.

The four people sat there like normal, completely unalarmed. However, they were already filled with caution.

“I wonder if the sect master Xiu Houston is still doing well? I, Zaar Milo, hope that when the four honored guests return you can help me ask about the wellbeing of the sect master!” An old voice sounded in the hall, but no one was to be seen.

“Junior will personally tell the sect master what senior has said.” One of the protectors clasped his hands expressionlessly.

“Four protectors, I wonder why you have come to my City of God?” The old voice boomed once again.

“We have come to kill the traitors of the human race under the sect master’s orders.” The protector said.

The old voice hesitated for a while before continuing, “It’s possible for our Zaar family to not interfere with your plans, but I hope we can make a deal before all this.”

The energy of the world began to move within the hall. A while later an image, completely coalesced from the energy, appeared before the four people.

Seeing the image, the four people suddenly narrowed their eyes. However, they soon recovered to how they were before.

“This person is called Yang Yutian, and is an extremely talented Radiant Saint Master. His existence obstructs the development of my Zaar family. I hope the four protectors can eliminate this Yang Yutian along the way. My Zaar family will definitely give a satisfying remuneration in return.” The old voice boomed.

“Senior, we will not be accepting this mission!” A protector declined the ancestor’s deal without a second thought. He did not even spend any time to consider it.

“Four protectors, as long as you complete the mission my Zaar family will definitely pay a generous price. You will not suffer any losses.” The old voice boomed once again.

“Senior, our mission is to pursue and kill the traitors of the human race under the sect master’s orders. We cannot accept other missions. Also, our Bloosword sect has yet to return to the continent. If senior wants our sect to assassinate the person called Yang Yutian, senior can only go and find our sect master.” A protector said.

“If the four of you accept my deal, I can help you find the traitors. You would be able to complete the mission much easier with my help.” The old voice boomed again, this time slightly hurried. Though he was a Saint King, due to certain reasons his family was unable to assassinate Yang Yutian in the open. He could only find someone else to do the deed.

The four protectors stood up simultaneously. One of them clasped their hands, “Senior, if there is nothing else, the four of us will be leaving first.” With that, they left the hall.

“Hmph. Grand elder, quickly go and organise some people to activate the concealing array and hide the presence of everyone in the city. Since the four protectors don’t know what’s best for them, I will not allow them complete their mission easily.”

Hearing that, the grand elder’s expression changed slightly. He said rather anxiously, “Ancestor, wouldn’t this offend the Bloodsword sect?”

“The concealing array is an array that protects our City of God. We, the Zaar family, are the ones in charge of the City of God, so is there anything wrong for us to activate it?” The old voice said slightly gruffly.

“Very well ancestor, I will immediately go organise some people to activate the array.”

…

The four protectors left the Zaar family and walked on the streets side-by-side.
