The Story Never Ends

Chapter 49 - The Blood Saber Sect Vs The Earth Fortress Sect

Seeing Thaddeus leave, Davion asked, "So, what are we doing now? We have an hour left."

Hendrix was about to say something when a female voice came from behind.

"Isla? You've already come?" A young girl wearing a purple robe looked in their direction in surprise.

"Camila?" Isla also had a look of surprise on her face.

Behind Camila were two girls wearing the same robes as her. It looked like they were from the same sect. Seeing them, Isla said, "Junior brother, I will be going with them for a while. We can meet at the conference later on. Bye"

Without even waiting for a reply, she happily left.

"They are the disciples of the Plum Maiden Sect. They are ranked just above the Flame Blossom Sect. Only females can join that sect. The girl in the center is Camila, who has a good relationship with her." Hendrix gave a quick introduction.

"She even forgot about us after seeing her. It looks like they are really good friends. So, what are we going to do, senior brother?" Davion asked.

"I will do some shopping. I need to prepare for the battle. You can have some fresh air while we are at it." Hendrix left in a hurry.

"Is he still scared by me?" Davion sighed.

"This city is new for me. I should roam around and see if I find anything interesting."

***

Davion bought some snacks from the street vendor. While enjoying it, he was looking around the city. Seeing the bustling crowd and people laughing with each other, he smiled. He visited a clothing store and bought some clothes. "It feels like I have returned to my previous world."

While he was roaming around the city, he saw a street vendor selling some strange masks. Some children were buying it. He was about to turn a blind eye to it, but he suddenly stopped.

"I think I should buy a mask. In the novels in my previous life, the main character would always get chased by someone and fall into trouble. A simple mask would have saved him. But they are too dumb to get one. So, I should buy one just in case."

He immediately came infront of the vendor and saw different types of masks. A red-colored mask managed to impress him. It was totally red and had two devil horns over the top. He bought it and put it in his ring.

"The Sect Master told me that there is a huge arena in the middle of the city. That is where the Conference would take place. I think it's about time. I should go."

***

In the center of the city, there was a big circular arena made of solid materials which only the Golden Core cultivators could damage. From a certain distance away from the arena, there were stands made for the spectators. Especially in the middle, there were large stands that looked grandeur. Only the Sect Masters or elders of the sect were seated on it.

Davion arrived on time and was seated with Isla and Hendrix in one of the stands. The disciples of other sects were also sitting near them.

He saw Thaddeus in the stands sitting with the other elders. There were also the elders that he had seen during the auction hall.

"I don't need to worry about them. I escaped from them unnoticed. But this Conference looks very awe-inspiring. This whole arena looks like a colosseum."

Davion was looking at the disciples around him. The disciples were also looking at each other trying to know the enemy they challenged beforehand.

After a while, a middle-aged lady came to the middle of the arena. When Davion used his Mind-Eye, he found that the lady was a Golden Core cultivator. She then declared, "Everyone should know the rules. So, I won't say much. But remember, you cannot kill anyone here. The battle ends only after someone gives up. Now, let the Northern Sects Conference begin."

It looked like she was speaking in a low voice, but in everyone's ear, it sounded like thunder. She then left the arena and returned to the stands.

A few minutes later, the arena was still empty. Nobody wanted to be the one to start the challenge. Everyone was looking at each other and waiting for the first one.

Davion got bored seeing this and suggested to Isla on the other side, "Senior sister, do we go and be the first one to challenge?"

Isla was about to reply when Hendrix suddenly exclaimed by pointing his finger. "It looks like it's unnecessary. Someone is already there."

Davion also looked over and saw a young man slowly moving towards the arena. He was wearing a green robe and had two huge gloves on his hands.

Seeing this he got confused and asked, "I have never seen this type of robe. Who is he?"

Isla on the side got excited and clapped her hands, "He is Brixton, the core disciple of the Earth Fortress Sect which is ranked second. This clearly means that he wants to challenge the first ranked Blood Saber Sect."

While everyone was looking over, they saw that Brixton came to the center of the arena and produced a big rock, simply by using his Qi. He punched it and it went straight to one of the stands.

When the nearby disciples were trying to get away, a red color Qi swept towards the rock. Both collided and the rock disintegrated into dust while the red Qi also disappeared.

After the dust settled down, the disciples could finally see who had stopped the rock. He was a young man wearing a dark red robe and carrying a large Saber in his right hand.. He looked at Brixton with a sharp gaze.
