Chapter 637: Chapter 394 Logan_1

“Sect Leader, over a hundred sects are causing trouble, yet the Blood Drinking Sect has made no moves; I suspect they are definitely brewing a conspiracy in the background.”

Peregrine Azure’s expression was grave. His capture was a timely and favorable opportunity for the Blood Drinking Sect; they would certainly use him as a bargaining chip and wouldn’t let those sects release him easily. Thus, Peregrine Azure was very surprised and found it surreal to have returned safely.

Indeed, a big part of the reason was that those sects feared Logan, while the Blood Drinking Sect did not, because after all, Demonic Sky Gate was in Logan’s hands. As both were from the Demon Cult Sect, the enmity between them and Logan was irresolvable, and they wouldn’t let bygones be bygones easily.

Aurelius Azure nodded, sharing the worries he had harbored for the past two days: “The Blood Drinking Sect does have a conspiracy, but for now, we can only take things one step at a time, after all, the enemy is in the dark while we are exposed.”

All the plotting of the Blood Drinking Sect had thrown the entire Central Region into chaos. If they were to just disappear without a trace now, it wouldn’t fit their style. For a Demon Cult Sect like the Blood Drinking Sect that had instigated over a hundred sects, the next move should be to strike at the Saint Sky Sect.

“Where is Logan? I’ll go and thank him myself!” Peregrine Azure asked immediately after, feeling totally indebted to Logan for his word that had saved his life. Peregrine Azure felt both morally and emotionally obligated to meet Logan in person, as it was his duty to show gratitude.

After all, Logan had no desire to get involved in the strife of the Central Region, yet because of Peregrine Azure, he had become entangled and had deterred the leaders of those hundred-plus sects. Now, Logan couldn’t stay out of the affair, as those leaders had already associated him with the Saint Sky Sect.

“In the courtyard behind the mountain of our sect,” Aurelius Azure replied, pausing to think. “Besides expressing your thanks, you could mention the current situation in the entire Central Region, especially emphasizing the threat posed by those hundred-plus sects, and ask Logan to lend a hand, since you have a good relationship with him.”

“Using tricks in front of Logan is useless; it’ll only cause displeasure,” Peregrine Azure responded, then headed towards Logan’s residence. Logan’s intelligence far surpassed his own—as it had been in the Western Wasteland, where Logan had seen through his plans upon his arrival.

At that time, he had harbored great animosity towards Logan, until he witnessed Logan setting up two arrays to suppress the Demonic Sky Gate, which truly convinced him. Logan was not just extremely cunning but also unmatched in his methods, so it was best to be sincere in front of him.

Upon arriving at Logan’s residence, Peregrine Azure bowed respectfully: “I am deeply grateful for your intervention; it has truly brought me much relief.”

“No matter, your Saint Sky Sect gave me ten million Spirit Stones, after all!” Seeing Peregrine Azure safe and sound, Logan waved his hand cheerfully.

Peregrine Azure was deeply moved, understanding that Logan didn’t need those ten million Spirit Stones. With Logan’s capabilities, even fifty million Spirit Stones would be justified, as casually setting up an array could kill a Holy See. Surely, those hundred-plus sects would be willing to pay even more.

In the time that followed, the hundred-plus sects of the Central Region made no move, as if sinking into silence. However, for the Saint Sky Sect, it was predictable that this was just the calm before the storm, so they didn’t dare to slack, increasing manpower in various places.

Compared to others, Logan saw things more clearly. If those hundred-plus sects were truly frightened, they would have sent envoys to bow down to the Saint Sky Sect by now, not remaining completely quiet as they were. Why weren’t they afraid? There must be the Blood Drinking Sect lurking in the shadows.

Although Peregrine Azure was injured, he was healed within a day thanks to the miraculous medicines of the Saint Sky Sect. However, he couldn’t exert his martial strength for a while, or he might fall from his Quasi-Saint Seat Realm, which for the Saint Sky Sect was decidedly bad news, as they would be without a powerhouse for the next ten days or half a month.

The Blood Drinking Sect remained silent, and despite the Saint Sky Sect sending out numerous scouts, there was no news from the Blood Drinking Sect—it was as if they had vanished. The situation in the Central Region was once again clouded with uncertainty, and many wondered if the Blood Drinking Sect had fled in fear.

Three days passed in this way, and just as the people of the Central Region were anxious, the powerhouses of the Blood Drinking Sect made a strong appearance, finally giving those hundred-plus sects a backbone, and it was none other than the Sect Leader of the Blood Drinking Sect who showed up personally, promising something that greatly excited those sects.

While the news was kept secret, only a day later, the words spoken by the Blood Drinking Sect’s Sect Leader began to spread throughout the Central Region. It turned out that the Sect Leader of the Blood Drinking Sect had broken through to the Saint Seat Realm and had also gathered seven or eight Demon Path Quasi-Saint Powerhouses.

With the powerhouses of the Central Region gone to the Ancient Secret Realm, the appearance of a new Saint Seat was a shock to all the sects, as the terrifying power of a single Saint Seat was well understood by all, capable of annihilating Great Sects with a mere wave of the hand, virtually unstoppable.

No one knew whether the news was true or false, but the Blood Drinking Sect’s decision to spread such statements clearly wasn’t made up; after all, those hundred-plus Sect Leaders weren’t fools. If the Blood Drinking Sect’s Sect Leader hadn’t reached the Saint Seat Realm, they would have seen through it immediately and not shown their faces so readily.

Even if it was all a bluff, it confirmed one thing: the Blood Drinking Sect was not planning to back down but was ready to unite with those hundred-plus sects to take action. This was definitely terrible news for the Saint Sky Sect and the other four major Central Region Sects.
