191 Chapter 191 (1/2)
”Even if you kill me this doesn't change anything!”
Yang Guanyu shouted at the man that appeared to be the traitor from his sect. Zhang Dong and his allies were to the side, they were being watched by the nascent soul realm cultivators from three various sects. While this was happening Matt was concentrating most of his attention on healing his leg. The wound was still hurting like crazy but the holy energies were slowly removing the demonic Qi while healing.
”The ancestral council? Hehe, you should probably worry more about yourself.”
The man in the golden robe replied while smirking, Yang Guanyu furrowed his brows.
”What do you mean? What did you do!”
”Do you think that you are the only sect with hidden senior elders? Use your head, why do you think that we are all here?”
The conversation in the distance continued while Zhang Dong and his comrades waited in the back.
”What do you think their intentions are, Senior Brother Dong?”
Feng Liena asked while glancing at some of the old men and women floating around.
”We can be certain that they are here to get rid of the Dark Palm sect...”
This group of cultivators must have been waiting for them for a while. They only reacted when Yang Guanyu was making a run for it. From Matt's point of view, they were probably waiting for both parties to weaken or kill themselves before pouncing on the survivor. The sudden escape attempt of the Dark Palm sect leader made them do it prematurely as only one person had died.
”Yes, they were waiting for us to tire.”
Feng Liena agreed.
”Hey, stop prattling!”
One of the nascent soul cultivators shouted at the trio, he was wearing a similar robe to the first person that spoke out with the dragon gate on it.
”Or what?”
Huo Qiang answered and pushed his killing intent along with this nascent soul aura in the direction of the person. The man backed off after feeling the large man's superior aura but soon his friends moved in to back him up.
”What do you think you are doing!”
The group of five had increased to six and they started glaring at Zhang Dong and his allies, they weren't attacking just yet though. They had seen the fight from start to finish and were wary of the man that was able to contend with Yang Guanyu. Most of the nascent realm cultivators here were in the early stage and the three main ones that were now holding a conversion with the Dark Palm sect members were all in the late stage.
”That's enough Qiang.”
Zhang Dong stepped in as he placed himself between his group and the new arrivals.
”Everything depends on you... what are your intentions here? If you are after the Dark Palm sect then we won't stop you, but we would like to know your intentions towards us.”
”You don't need to know, the three seniors will decide, just stay still and wait!”
Another man from that group spoke out, he was wearing one of the whiter robes and belonged to the sword sect. Matt frowned as these people weren't willing to give them answers.
'Should we wait or make a run for it? Will those people let us go just like that?'
There were a couple of ways that things could go here. In most of them, his side wouldn't be getting out unscathed. From his point of view, the powerful group of cultivators would either try to dispose of them or demand some payment. He didn't think that they would just let three powerful nascent soul realm cultivators just roam the land under their noses.
'They might even try to force some of those soul contracts on us...'
He glanced back into his storage ring and then to Spirit Spring City. The Zhang Clan headquarters were still standing and the large defensive formation was working fine.
'Think I'll have to use that to get out of here... but first I want to see what they will do to that skinny old fart...'
Zhang Dong had to place his hand on Huo Qiang's shoulder to pull him back. His red-haired friend just wanted to charge forward but he knew that fighting this sect alliance here and now wouldn't be the smartest thing to do.
