Chapter 190 - Elders and sect master (2/2)
”It doesn't matter, I don't plan on letting anyone besides the four of you know about this anyway. Remember this is classified information and his presence is of paramount importance to the sect, we need someone who is capable of killing those with unique mindsets in our sect.”
”You mean those particular few who have been designated as dangerous and always under constant watch to prevent them from attacking anyone else?” Isabella asked while reaching her hands out to tie a bun neatly behind her head.
”Yes. Even though I can tame them myself, what I need is someone who is capable of containing those demons while getting them to listen to him willingly and guide them back onto the right path, helping them to find the reason for their weapon to shed blood.
”I see, but why did you call me out here to speak in private?” Seeing that Aiden was just a backup plan of utmost importance, Isabella then asked another question to fulfill the satiety of his mind.
Nightin then explained to Isabella about the military academy that will be located near to this place and how he plans to link the military academy to the sect, not as a subsidiary force, but another branch of it which ranks equally to them.
”Sect master, aren't you afraid that the person you tasked with being the leader won't be corrupted by power and turn his blade towards you?” Isabella immediately asked when she realised that it's an outsider being entrusted with such an important job that might affect their sect to a huge extent.
”Don't worry, it's one of my closest friends that I'm entrusting this to and of all people, there's no way he'll betray me. You can ask me for the reason behind this blind confidence in him, but just believe me that I have never been wrong when it comes to judging people.”
”Just like how you rope me in before considering if I would prove to be helpful or a threat to the sect?” Isabella asked cheekily as she broke out in laughter.
”Are you asking this intentionally while knowing that I was still clueless as to how to face this world at that point of time?” Questioning back, his sword suddenly slashed towards Isabella who leaped back immediately without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Pulling the string on her bow, an arrow condensed out of energy appeared and fired off, spiralling towards Nightin while containing the immense amount of wind energy within it. It was a suppression arrow and even though the attack radius would only be the arrow's tip, it at least doubles the speed of her arrow.
”Sect master, are you planning to play the same game again? I'm no longer the young lady who once lost to you, but someone who stepped into the Martial Emperor fourth gate before you.”
”But you aren't the only one who's moving forward in life, your cultivation speed might have been faster than mine, but that's because I spent most of my time trying to find the true meaning behind life.”
Sticking his finger out, a sword energy formed and flew towards the arrow, colliding in the air as the attacks cancelled each other out.
”Not bad, but you won't win me with this, you can call for Cloud and Xinyi to join your side as well.” Nightin said with the intention of helping her out, but with the unpredictable mindset that a woman has, it sounded like a provocation to Isabella who played along.
”Elder Cloud and elder Xinyi, please come out and assist me in this battle with the sect master so that he can hone his combat strength.” When calling out for them, Isabella emphasised on the hone his combat strength part so that Cloud and Xinyi will be serious in the battle.
”Sect master, do you truly want us to fight you without holding back in the slightest despite the gap in our cultivation base?” Cloud asked solemnly as he took out his chakram, now reforged and enhanced to be comparable to the low savior grade.
”Make your move.” This little devil will regret it. Nightin thought to himself as he made the first move and dashed towards Isabella first before anyone was even ready.
