'Thud'
As soon as he heard those words, the first elder fell onto his chairs with lifeless eyes. He lost all the hope to complete his dreams of becoming the sect leader of the Assassin sect.
'No, it's all his fault,'
'He knew that the guardians will support him, that's why intentionally brought the headquarters topic,'
'As long as I kill him, I will their only choice for becoming the sect leader,'
When a cultivator was at the most hopeless situation, their mind tends to turn crazy and soon, the first elder started losing his sanity as he eyed the sect leader Gerg as his prey.
'I didn't expect the same thing that brought me here today was the reason for my dreams to be spoiled,'
The first elder clenched his fists as he silently thought to himself.
A few days back, he used the sudden communication cut-off with the headquarters to gain the support of the elders and now, for the same reason, his duel was cancelled even without a single thought by the guardians of the sect.
With each thought, the first elder was turning crazily and finally decided to kill the sect leader Gerg.
'Die'
As soon as he got that thought, he immediately took a black dagger out of thin air and moved at the sect leader Gerg with an incredible speed.
"What a fool,"
However, the sect leader Gerg did nothing and allowed the first elder to attack him.
'Die'
Just when the dagger was about to penetrate into the sect leader Gerg's abdomen, the first elder automatically fell to the ground.
That's it.
That was the final fall of the first elder where he was killed by his own sect's guardian.
'What? The first elder died just like that?'
'What is the use of having such a great plan when things didn't go as they planned?'
'I hope, the sect leader Gerg will not make things difficult for me,'
As soon as the first elder died, the remaining elders muttered to themselves in a low voice. Among all the elders, the second elder was very anxious because he was very close to the first elder.
So, he just hoped that the sect leader Gerg would not make things difficult for him in the sect.
"Sect leader Gerg, you have to try your best and make us powerful. As for the communication with the headquarters, let's forget it for now."
"Yes, it's impossible to talk to them when they already stopped communicating with us,"
"We have trust in you, sect leader Gerg. Just do your best and if any other sects attacks us, the first sect will definitely be destroyed along with us,"
After killing the first elder, the old men started speaking one after another at a very fast face; however, the sect leader Gerg was able to listen carefully to each and every word.
"Thanks for having trust in me, guardians," the sect leader Gerg stood up from his chair and revealed a smile while giving them a bow.
"Everyone, follow the instructions of the sect leader Gerg and if any of you try to do something funny, that day will be your last day. Do you understand?"
The old men nodded their heads at the sect leader Gerg and then looked at the remaining elders before giving warning to them.
All the guardians were once a sect leader of the assassins sect. So, they knew how many troubles a sect leader would face and those below him who always eye the sect leader chair and do anything in their power to get it.
So, they gave all the elders a warning because it was not the time for having some internal conflicts.
"We will never disobey the orders of the sect leader Gerg,"
As soon as they heard the warning from one of the guardians, all the elders hurriedly bowed to the guardians and replied with a tone full of respect.
"Good"
All the five masked old men nodded their heads as though they were satisfied with the change in their attitude.
Some might think they were overthrown by the first elder of their time; however, it was sect time in the entire assassin sect's history and even the first time when the first elder challenged the sect leader of that time, he was utterly defeated and was thrown into the exiled cave under the assassin sect.
"Okay then. We will take our leave now,"
Since they had completed their work, they decided to leave the main hall.
'Sect leader Gerg'
'Sect leader Gerg'
Just as the five masked old men were about to leave the main hall, a middle-aged man rushed into the main hall with excitement all over his face.
"What happened? If it is not an important thing, then I will kill you,"
The sect leader Gerg frowned because of the sudden entry of a servant into the main hall when the five guardians were still in the room. So, he warned the servant if the news was not an important one, he would kill him.
The five old men also waited for the servant to relay the so-called important news and patiently looked at him.
"Yes, sect leader Gerg. It is related to the headquarters,"
There was not even a slight fear on the servant's face as he excitedly replied to the sect leader and others.
"What is it? Say it already,"
"Yes. Don't keep us in suspense and say it already,"
The sect leader Gerg and the old men's interest piqued when they heard it was related to the headquarters.
As for the servant that came with the excitement all over his face, he looked at the five old men, who were standing on the long table and silently thought, 'Who are these people. They even stood up on the table in front of the sect leader Gerg.'
He was unable to recognize the five old men because they were wearing masks; however, he knew that they were from the assassin sects judging by their robes and said, "The communication with the headquarters is back."
