Chapter 491: 306 Door_1
Logan had already become quite adept at arranging the array, and in less than an hour, it was completed using 100,000 spirit stones. It should be enough to trap the Half-step Saint Seats.
Everything was ready, except the perfect timing. Now, the only variable was Celica Shingo. If Celica brought people, half of the work would be done. However, if anything unexpected happens or if he turns traitor at the last moment, all efforts would be in vain.
The Shingo Butcher exclaimed in awe, “This is way too intimidating. Using spirit stones to construct such an array, I have a hunch that the demise of the Beast King and the Heavenly Saint Daoist probably also has something to do with this array?”
“Somewhat!” Logan did not deny. Considering that the other party is risking life and death alongside him, there was no need to conceal anything from such trustworthy companions.
Furthermore, after rescuing Lowen Shingo, once this array strategy gets discovered by several sects, it will not be long before everyone knows of it. He had prepared to face the chasing encounters.
On the other hand, after a psychological struggle, Celica Shingo had assembled the heads of the six major sects. These sect heads were all puzzled, questioning why the meeting was called so suddenly?
One of the Sect Heads smirked coldly, “Don’t tell me you’re planning on executing Lowen Shingo tomorrow, and as his father, you cannot bear it, so you gathered us here hoping we would spare him?”
“If this discussion was to spare Lowen Shingo, then there’s no need to talk. We could even sacrifice a whole sect to get the opportunity presented by the Beast King and the Heavenly Saint Daoist. It has been hundreds of years that everyone is stuck at Half-step Saint Seat. Who wouldn’t want to make a breakthrough and become a full-fledged Saint Seat?”
Another person took over the conversation, coldly saying, “If you dare obstruct this, we six would not mind joining forces to suppress you. You may have contributed a lot, but if you want a share of the spoils, you better behave. Even if Lowen Shingo is your son, what’s wrong with getting rid of him and having more children?”
“We have laid a large net and are just waiting for Lowen Shingo’s accomplice to rescue him. We can then seize them to get information about the opportunity. There can be no room for even the tiniest error. You not only represent yourself but also the Shingo Clan, so don’t cause any trouble.”
The one with the highest status amongst them, an old man threatened. He was part of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the strongest amongst the six major sects, with nearly ten in the Dominator Realm. He himself was also at the Half-step Saint Seat, and was only one step away from the Saint Seat. He has been waiting for this opportunity for a full hundred years.
His life was nearing its end and he was still stuck at this realm. To get the opportunity to further the Saint Seat, he could resort to any means. If Celica Shingo were to make any trouble, he did not rule out the possibility of joining hands with the other sects to eradicate the Shingo Clan.
Another old man chuckled lightly, looking at several people and said, “You all are here for the opportunity while my Heavenly Saint Sect is here for revenge. The Heavenly Saint Daoist was our ancestor, and the one leading the group must be killed. Originally, we were under the protection of a Saint Seat, but now this is not feasible.”
“Let’s have a discussion here. If we find Lowen Shingo trio, can we spare Lowen Shingo? Although Lowen Shingo participated in the Mountain Range venture, he has no connection with the Beast King and Heavenly Saint Daoist.”
The words of the six major Sect Heads caused Celica Shingo’s heart to be half chilled, but he still had a glimmer of hope. If he handed over Logan and others, could he exchange Lowen Shingo’s life for it? He was the head of the Shingo Clan after all. He hoped that these people would give some respect to him.
But all of them shook their heads in unison, firmly saying “No matter what the result is, Lowen Shingo must be publicly sacrificed. How else can we appease the disciples under our sects? what if Lowen Shingo holds grudges and seeks revenge in the future?”
“Celica Shingo, I’m sure you already a powerful cultivator, in the Half-step Saint Seat realm, but you are getting troubled by these mundane matters? Have you ever thought that if you became a Saint Seat one day, having as many offspring as you want wouldn’t be an issue?”
Other people also laughed loudly mocking Celica Shingo for being a hypocrite, as he was hesitating at this moment. If they really didn’t want something to happen to Lowen Shingo, why did they hand him over in the first place? At this stage, neither the several major sects nor Celica Shingo can turn back.
Celica Shingo showed a smile, but it was full of despair. He knew that the six heads would not spare Lowen Shingo. Now thinking about Logan’s plan, he had already made a decision. Since he could not negotiate with these people, he had to do anything to save the people.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword was a smart man and noticed something was wrong with Celica’s emotions, “You summoned us here not to state some futile thing, right? If you have any purpose, just tell us now. Everyone’s time is precious.”
“Hurry up and speak.” The other Sect Heads were also quite dissatisfied. They had so many things to deal with early the next morning, but Celica Shingo just invited them over without saying a word, this was quite puzzling. Could it be that Celica Shingo really wanted to threaten to spare Lowen Shingo?
“It’s like this. We sent many people from our sect to patrol around and suddenly found two suspicious people in a gorge a hundred meters away. It looks like they were here to rescue Lowen Shingo, and they match what the Daoist guards described, the leader being a young man.”
Celica Shingo cleared his throat and continued, “Of course, I’m not totally sure. But maybe seeing the heavy guard, they decided not to rescue Lowen Shingo. It’s estimated that they will leave early tomorrow morning, so I wanted to call all the Sect Heads together to discuss and decide what to do next.”
“Really?” Someone exclaimed in surprise instantly. They had been waiting for three days and finally the prey hooked, but the prey seemed to have sensed something wrong and would no longer fall into the trap.
But for them, they obviously could not let Logan and the others escape. Otherwise, wouldn’t all their schemes fail? Even if they have nothing to do with the two Saint Seats, it is better to be safe than sorry.
“Exact location, I will immediately send a Dominator Realm to lead the team over. We must detain those two.” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword was already restless, standing up and eagerly asking.
But the Heavenly Saint Sect smiled coldly and retorted, “The leading Dominator Realm? You don’t know the strength of those two. If the Dominator Realm can’t beat them, what should we do if they escape after being startled?”
When these words came out, everyone nodded. After all, none of them knew how the Beast King and Heavenly Saint Daoist had disappeared. If it was related to these two, their strength might be immeasurable. They might also be in a Half-step Saint Seat Realm. If they were to send a Dominator Realm, it would be like sending them to their grave.
