Chapter 600 - Sect leader challenge token (2/2)

All the five old men nodded their heads at the people in the main hall before looking at the first elder and the sect leader Gerg and asked them to start the duel.

”Yes, guardians,” the first elder nodded his head and looked at the sect leader Gerg because asking, ”Are you ready, sect leader Gerg?”

Actually, it was a tradition in the assassin sect that if the first elder, the second powerful person after the sect leader, was dissatisfied with the sect leader, then he could challenge that sect leader to a duel.

In the duel, if he wins then the first elder would become the sect leader whereas the previous sect leader would join the guardians and he would not be involved in the sect's internal matters anymore.

All he had to do was secluded himself in a cave and whenever the sect was in danger, he had to protect it along with the other guardians.

”Haha...I give up,”

However, unexpected to everyone's expectations, the sect leader Gerg raised his hands and gave up.

”What are you doing, Sect leader Gerg?”

All the five guardians asked him at the same time as though they were machines.

”Since our first elders want to manage the sect, then so be it. Anyway, the assassin sect will not last for much longer without the support of the headquarters,”

The sect leader Gerg pulled back his chair and lazily sat in it while looking at the five old men on the table.

”What?”

”The headquarters stopped communicating with us?”

”This is bad.”

”And you, the first elder, want to have an internal conflict at a time like this? Shame on you,”

At first, they were shocked to learn the fact that the assassin sect had lost contact with the headquarter and when they looked at the first elder, they were disgusted at him.

Because, just like the sect leader Gerg said, it was a tough time for them to survive without the support of the headquarters and the first elder was trying to rebel when the current sect leader had many tensions regarding the sect.

”The duel will not be valid any longer,”

Soon, the five guardians knew that the sect leader Gerg was the only one who could manage the sect well at times like these and the new sect leader like the first elder would be a bad choice. So, they didn't hesitate to cancel the duel.

”What? How can you do this? I have the sect leader challenge token with me,”

The first elder became anxious and angry at the same time and hurriedly took out the black-coloured wooden token.

'Snap'

”We are yet to finish talking. Stay silent,”

One of the old men snapped his fingers and the first elder became silent and another old man started speaking, ”As for the first elder, he will be sentenced to the 'Exiled cave' under our assassin sect.”

While the old man was talking, the entire hall was very silent which made the old man's words resounded in the main hall.
