Chapter 1235: Ambush
The trio went to Demon Soul’s residence.
"Where have you been?" He asked Jack as soon as they entered the residence.
"In the bar. We are beating those young masters."
"How far did you come from that side?"
"We have beaten the direct descendants of the founders who are on the same level as us in the last few days. Even though we didn’t cover all of them, we at least did the more high-profile ones dirty. They are currently bald and when they were found, they were naked in the streets or other public places.
So, I would say, we did a pretty good job, if you ask me."
"Yeah, it seems like you indeed did a pretty good job. Perhaps, even overdid it. The Sect leaders are inviting us to a banquet this afternoon and the invitation is for your friends too."Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.
"Banquet in the middle of the day?"
"Yes."
"These guys don’t have any sense for celebration," Philip commented from the side.
"Who said it is for the celebration? If they only invited me and Jack, I would have believed so. But they are also calling you guys and they even insisted. It seems like they planned something very good for you guys."
"What would that be? Some good food or some washed-up necks?" Watt asked as he stretched his body and dropped on the bed lazily.
"Who knows? Maybe both of them. But it seems like your plan is in the final stages. It will become a direct confrontation any time now. I am expecting some dueling challenges from the direct descendants that are as strong as you or even stronger.
That is the most general and direct approach they could take. They might think of humiliating you or even ’accidentally’ killing you. So, be careful."
"You would be there right?"
"Of course, I cannot miss such a show."
They made some small chat as the old man couldn’t stop speaking at all.
They informed Sam about the situation through the communication devices and waited for the banquet.
When the time of the banquet neared, the sects actually sent an attendant to invite them all over to the banquet and they followed that attendant to the Common Area.
The Grand Hall is being used for the banquet and when they arrived, almost all the important figures of the five great sects are present inside. They are clearly taking this seriously.
And among the important members, the trio saw some bald heads and burned faces.
They clearly recognized them.
They are the bald heads they created.
As the four of them vigilantly walked into the deeper section of the forest, Demon Soul took out his sword and made five swift movements, the sword rays went in five different directions as they cut off the trees and forced some people to come out.
After they came out, five more people followed from a hiding place a bit far away.
The four of them were surprised. Because the people that came are grand elders and the young masters of the sect.
They didn’t expect that they would manage to appear in the exact same route they are going to take.
"How do you know we would be taking this route?"
Demon Soul asked out of curiosity.
"We don’t. We just stationed a group in the three most probably routes and we managed to find you here."
One of the Grand elders spoke and then paused before he continued.
"Send the three over. The youngsters will handle themselves, I am sure you wouldn’t be able to deal with us while shielding them.
They might even die of aftershocks of the clash."
"Demon Soul just shrugged and looked at the trio. They nodded and walked out of the encirclement of the grand elders and entered one that was prepared for them separately.
One of the young masters looked at Jack and said.
"Didn’t expect this situation did you?"
Jack just looked at him blankly without replying. There is a look of disdain on his face that made the other party feel embarrassed.
"You can be arrogant all you want. But that wine you drank will make you think that messing with the sects is the biggest mistake you did.
I am pretty sure that your meridians are being clogged as we speak. You would be like that for a few hours and that is more than enough time to kill you guys a dozen times.
As he spoke, the wind element suddenly razed and he created a large tornado around him which slowly got compressed into a small tornado in his hand and aimed at the trio.
Watt leisurely extended his hands and clapped once.
The wind elemental energy became chaotic for a second as ripples formed around them. The tornado that was making its way towards them, disappeared as if it was never there.
"Flashy moves, no substance."
Watt said as he shook his head in disappointment. He has seen so many wind elemental cultivators and everyone is doing the same. They are making big and flashy moves that could create a lot of ruckuses.
Of course, they are destructive but not as destructive as they actually can be.
He sighed and wind elemental energy gathered at his hand as he swung it fiercely.
A large wind blade condensed densely arrived right in front of the young master who attacked him in a flash.
