Chapter 703 - 647: Teams (2/2)
”I hope he doesn't attack us.”
The woman rubbed her arms together as she got the chills after glancing at Arthur and Lucy.

”So they are the infamous couple! Hmpf!”
The sect leader of the Dark Blaze Sect, ruler of the Dark Blaze Realm, snorted as he glared at the parasite and his wife. He was unhappy that his top disciples suddenly fled without any warning and wanted to forcefully bring them back.
Even when facing what he deemed as enemies, the middle-aged sect leader didn't feel oppressed and behaved arrogantly. He was also an Exalted God and both elders that came with him were in the same cultivation realm, making them one of the strongest groups present here.
”S-sect leader… we should not do anything for now.”
One of the elders was feeling apprehensive and didn't want to cause trouble so soon. They brought a good team with them but the probability of them winning was honestly low, or so he thought.
Not only Arthur and Lucy were individually terrifying, they were backed by King Isadore and also the Kang Clan. Trying to provoke them will only lead to misfortune.

”Hahaha pardon my lateness.”
The old man that came with Kang Amidel, sat next to Isadore and coughed while apologizing to the hosts of the tournament. He was a kind old man and showcased his goodwill in several ways.
It's the first time Arthur saw him, though Lucy did speak of him. The Kang Clan were supporting the MoonStar sect and did their best to promote this tournament to further increase the influence of MoonStar.
”It's alright. A please to meet you, Elder Nord.”
Arthur politely greeted the elder and kindly waved for him to sit.
”What do you think?”
Lucy telepathically spoke to Arthur seconds after Nord's arrival.
”He's strong… stronger than the rest. I do agree that his arrival here is not just for the tournament.”
”On several occasions, he wanted to privately talk to me concerning a sensitive matter but I declined. I thought that we should both be present to hear what he has to say.”
”Sure, we'll do it after the tournament.”
After a brief silence, Lucy spoke again, ”Arthur, don't you think the stance of the Kang Clan is suspicious?”
”It definitely is. They are supporting us a lot… even if it's because of Astria, it's still strange.”
”Could they be plotting something? Maybe we should take precautions.”-Lucy
”Oh, don't worry about that. I already prepared myself for the worst scenario. In anycase, no one can wreak havoc here, not with you and I here and the formations in place.”
