Chapter 493: 308 Holy See_1
Logan gave a careless smile, saying, “What if I intend to lure all of you from the six great sects and trap you together? Difficult, indeed. But as long as I can lure you all, that is enough!”
As he spoke, Logan waved his hand and unleashed a Divine Skill, instantly setting the nearby forest ablaze. The flames shot up into the sky, attracting the attention of the camp several hundred meters away. They may not know what had happened here, but they could tell something was wrong with the sudden fire.
Moreover, the strength of many factions was shocked to discover that their sect leaders had disappeared. They suspected that they might be in danger and immediately sent off their most powerful members to this location.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect, a clever man, suddenly realized Logan’s plot: “Your strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain is brilliant. You’ve directed all of us here in order to rescue your man. You must have an accomplice in the camp. We six sect leaders have always considered ourselves wise, yet we have fallen into this trap.”
“Even if you rescue Lowen Shingo, can you two escape?” the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect scoffed. If all the Dominator Realm experts have been summoned here, Logan and his ally will be sitting ducks. Even if Lowen Shingo is indeed rescued, he has no value to the others anymore.
Compared to Lowen Shingo, they were more interested in capturing Logan. They believed that the chance of the Beast King and Heavenly Saint Daoist fell into Logan’s hands, along with the Supreme Treasures of the Demon Beast clan. These were the real prizes. As for Lowen Shingo, he was a spent force, as the Protector had passed on what he knew.”
Even without these opportunities on Logan, at least he has a knack for arranging arrays, which could potentially make him even stronger. To trap six Half-step Holy Seats with an array, how powerful is that? Anyone who gains this power could suppress the other sects, and henceforth be the top person under the Holy Seat.”
However, Logan simply smiled, waving his hand dismissively: “Sorry, the two of us will be leaving now. When those Dominator Realm experts arrive, who will they save first, or who will they chase first? This array can last a day. Just think about how your spiritual energy will be depleted.”
After that, he left with the Shingo Butcher, regardless of the leaders’ threats. In his heart, Logan was as clear as a mirror. He had already won this chess game. No matter what happened afterward, it was all in vain unless a Holy Seat person intervenes.
Logan knew very well about the strength of his array. Even if all those Dominators come, they won’t be able to do anything. If they are stuck on breaking the barrier, Logan and his friends will have more time to escape. If they obsessively hunt Logan and his party, Bart Cloud’s plan to rescue Lowen Shingo will go even smoother.
The six sect leaders fell into thought, each feeling helpless. How could they have so easily fallen into Logan’s trap? They had been on the brink of stepping into the Holy Seat, already among the world’s top powerhouses. Now, they were calculated by Logan and his group, which was not only infuriating but also embarrassing.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect turned to Celica Shingo, scolding him, “This situation is all because of Celica Shingo. If not for him leading us here, how would we fall into Logan’s trap? The Shingo Sect must take responsibility for this. Once we get out of here, the Shingo Sect should prepare for a blood debt.”
“I bet he’s colluding with Logan. This is all a setup, and we should never have trusted Celica Shingo. Now we’re in such a sorry state, but while we suffer, Celica Shingo is probably laughing in his heart.”
Another sect leader was also fuming. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Celica Shingo was involved. Perhaps Logan and his people had even plotted this beforehand with Celica Shingo. Otherwise, how could they, given their realm, know such a heaven-defying array method?
Once questioned, Celica Shingo naturally couldn’t admit it, “Don’t accuse me wrongly. How would I know this is a trap? I’m trapped just like you guys, and none of us can leave. If I had any ulterior motives, why wouldn’t I join forces with Logan to destroy you all?”
Everyone seemed deep in thought. Indeed, Celica Shingo’s words were not unreasonable. They had already been sufficiently powerful to trap the six sect leaders – if they had taken the opportunity to kill them all, Celica Shingo alone could dominate. After merging the other six major sects, the acquired opportunities would be enough to create a Holy Seat.
Could it be that all of this had nothing to do with Celica Shingo? They all had suspicions in their hearts, but they dared not confirm them. Or perhaps they all wanted to find a scapegoat, to prove that they weren’t tricked.”
“I, Celica Shingo, am clear in conscience. Even though my son was indeed captured, I also represent the interests of the entire Shingo Sect. If the opportunities of the Beast King and the Heavenly Saint Daoist were obtained, it could help our sect take another step forward. What choice would I make, weighing the pros and cons? You should ask your hearts.”
Celica Shingo spoke with principled righteousness, word by word, “If you insist on blaming someone, you can all gang up against the Shingo Sect. But then, be prepared for the rest of your lives to bear the brunt of my wrath. I will slaughter all the juniors of your sects. Let’s fight till either of us is completely exterminated. After all, as half-step Holy Seats, none of us can defeat each other.”
This was not a threat from Celica Shingo, but a statement of fact. He had been compromising time and time again, all out of fear that his sect would suffer. But now that something indeed happened, what did he still have to worry about?
Seeing that Celica Shingo was truly angry, the sect leaders felt a sense of fear in their hearts. After all, the wrath of a half-step Holy Seat was not to be taken lightly. Though they, being half-step Holy Seats themselves, weren’t afraid, what about the others in their sects? If the entire sect were truly slaughtered by Celica Shingo, the loss would undoubtedly outweigh the gain.
“Don’t be too angry. We were just panicked earlier.” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect was the first to try to soothe Celica Shingo. He didn’t care much about the demise of other sects, but his own sect had over ten thousand disciples, including at least a hundred outstanding talents. They were the future of the sect. If they were killed halfway by Celica Shingo, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life.
The other leaders also nodded, not wanting to openly fall out with Celica Shingo. Originally, after capturing Lowen Shingo, they had felt somewhat guilty about bullying Celica Shingo. Now, blaming him was obviously inappropriate. Plus, the top priority was to escape from the Barrier Array. There was no point in blaming each other.
The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect waved his hand and spoke, “Enough arguing. Let’s think about how to escape from this array. Even the six of us, half-step Holy Seats, can’t do it. It shows just how formidable this array is. Even a real Holy Seat would be trapped just like us.”
