562 Combat King Sects Goal (1/2)

********

”Why”

After hearing the first elder' words, all the remaining elders in the meeting room asked the same question at the same time as though they didn't understand why their sect leader would punish them for losing contact with their sect.

”It is only our assumption but we believe it is the only reason for the sudden cutoff of our communication with the headquarters,” the first elder took a deep breath as he continued, ”We failed the two missions that the headquarters has given to us. So, it is the only reason I and the second elder can think of losing communication with the headquarters.”

”...”

As soon as they heard those words, they became speechless and didn't say anything as it was a possible reason judging by the headquarters strict actions.

”So, when the sect leader finds out about it, he will show his rage on us for being incapable of completing those two missions,”

The first leader's last words made all the elders worried because that would definitely happen when the sect leader comes out of his seclusion.

”So, what should we do, first elder?”

Due to the fear of their sect leader's punishment, all the elders looked at the first elder and asked him.

'Finally...'

As soon as he heard those words, the first elder looked at the second elder and secretly revealed a cunning smile before turning his face towards the other elders.

'I have an idea,'

However, the cunning smile disappeared when he faced the other elders and it was replaced with a gentle smile as he replied to the other elders.

.....

Not only fire sword sect and the assassin sect, but all the great families were also having their own meetings in their meeting halls and all of them were decided to follow the royal family footsteps to apologize the guild master.

...…

In the meeting hall of the Combat King sect,

Unlike these top powers, the Combat king sect was completely different.

”Looks like something interesting is going on with the top powers and the mercenary guild...Hehe,”

In the meeting hall, there were five old men that looked almost identical with slight facial differences. And among the five, one of them slowly started talking while laughing.

”Yeah. Too bad that even royal family is fearing the mercenary guild after the return of the 'Six vagrant cultivators',”

Another old man mocked the royal family for their foolish decisions.

”All the sect leaders family heads and the King knew that the guild master is the leader of the 'Six Vagrant cultivators' and that's the reason why we also didn't go bothering it despite the fact we didn't like the mercenary guild in our Zrochester province,”

”Haha...when I think about that announcement, I could not help but feel happy,”

”Haha”

All the five old men speak one after another while laughing at the announcement they had made a few years back.
