The trio went to Demon Soul’s residence.
"Where have you been?" He asked Jack as soon as they entered the residence.
"In the bar. We are beating those young masters."
"How far did you co from that side?"
"We have beaten the direct descendants of the founders who are on the sa level as us in the last few days. Even though we didn’t cover all of them, we at least did the more high-profile ones dirty. They are currently bald and when they were found, they were naked in the streets or other public places.
So, I would say, we did a pretty good job, if you ask ."
"Yeah, it seems like you indeed did a pretty good job. Perhaps, even overdid it. The Sect leaders are inviting us to a banquet this afternoon and the invitation is for your friends too."
"Banquet in the middle of the day?"
"Yes."
"These guys don’t have any sense for celebration," Philip comnted from the side.
"Who said it is for the celebration? If they only invited and Jack, I would have believed so. But they are also calling you guys and they even insisted. It seems like they planned sothing very good for you guys."
"What would that be? So good food or so washed-up necks?" Watt asked as he stretched his body and dropped on the bed lazily.
"Who knows? Maybe both of them. But it seems like your plan is in the final stages. It will beco a direct confrontation any ti now. I am expecting so dueling challenges from the direct descendants that are as strong as you or even stronger.
That is the most general and direct approach they could take. They might think of humiliating you or even ’accidentally’ killing you. So, be careful."
"You would be there right?"
"Of course, I cannot miss such a show."
They made so small chat as the old man couldn’t stop speaking at all.
They inford Sam about the situation through the communication devices and waited for the banquet.
When the ti of the banquet neared, the sects actually sent an attendant to invite them all over to the banquet and they followed that attendant to the Common Area.
The Grand Hall is being used for the banquet and when they arrived, almost all the important figures of the five great sects are present inside. They are clearly taking this seriously.
And among the important mbers, the trio saw so bald heads and burned faces.
They clearly recognized them.
They are the bald heads they created.
The youngsters are all, looking at the trio as if they want to eat them alive. But the trio just grinned calmly and went to their seats.
They didn’t care about manners or respect. They just started eating and drinking as they liked even before anyone else started.
The Demon Soul also didn’t hold back and didn’t stop them. He also started devouring food without any table manners.
He even called a server out in the middle to get so food he liked that was placed on another table. He behaved as if it is his ho.
And it didn’t take long for the young masters to react. They couldn’t take it and many tis they wanted to get up and shoot their mouths, but for so reason, the elders are all keeping their eyes on them carefully and whenever soone wanted to act out, they shot them a glance making them sit down.
After a while, the Five Sect leaders stood up and one of them started talking out loud gathering everyone’s attention.
"Today, we gathered here on the occasion of our Guardian leaving our Five Great sects.
He has been the guardian of our sects for decades as he has seen the growth of our sects with his own eyes. He has been a witness to many changes we have been through as well as many difficulties we have overco.
He knows better than anyone, how far we have co. But all good things must co to an end and our relationship with our Guardian is the sa.
From today onwards, our Guardian is moving on from our Five Great sects and is going on the bigger world waiting for him."
As he spoke, he lifted his glass and an attendant ca out with a special gourd of wine as he poured into his and the rest of the sect leader’s glasses, after which they filled Demon Soul’s as well as the trio’s glasses.
The sect leader who gave the speech raised the glass and gulped it down along with the other sect leaders.
Demon Soul took the sll of the glass while the trio did the sa.
The sll of the wine is too rich and strong, it has been a while they felt that so wine could be this strong.
They also gulped it down. Even the Demon Soul didn’t hold back and the banquet went smoothly.
This made the four of them feel surprised. After all, they expected so ruckus and so resistance for themselves, they thought of the proud young masters challenging them to restore their stupid pride. They wanted to bash a few heads to the ground and make the sect leaders and the Elders rage only for them to stop acting because of Demon Soul’s presence.
But none of it happened. They could only co out with disappointnt.
After the banquet was over, the four of them leisurely walked out of the city, and by the ti they crossed the gate, the trio felt sothing happening to them. The regular absorption of energy beca a bit difficult as if sothing dense is clogging their ridians.
When they checked their bodies with a spiritual sense, they noticed that the dense sludge blocking the ridians is not actually so foreign thing.
It is just spiritual energy that beca dense and blocked the ridians. Soon, apart from the general absorption, even the circulation beca hard.
They had a bad feeling about the situation and Jack didn’t hesitate to make the Demon Soul know of this finding.
Demon Soul thought for a mont and said.
"Be careful. I think I am also feeling sothing similar in my body."
This made the three of them frown and their bad feeling only increased.
As the four of them vigilantly walked into the deeper section of the forest, Demon Soul took out his sword and made five swift movents, the sword rays went in five different directions as they cut off the trees and forced so people to co out.
After they ca out, five more people followed from a hiding place a bit far away.
The four of them were surprised. Because the people that ca are grand elders and the young masters of the sect.
They didn’t expect that they would manage to appear in the exact sa route they are going to take.
"How do you know we would be taking this route?"
Demon Soul asked out of curiosity.
"We don’t. We just stationed a group in the three most probably routes and we managed to find you here."
One of the Grand elders spoke and then paused before he continued.
"Send the three over. The youngsters will handle themselves, I am sure you wouldn’t be able to deal with us while shielding them.
They might even die of aftershocks of the clash."
"Demon Soul just shrugged and looked at the trio. They nodded and walked out of the encirclent of the grand elders and entered one that was prepared for them separately.
One of the young masters looked at Jack and said.
"Didn’t expect this situation did you?"
Jack just looked at him blankly without replying. There is a look of disdain on his face that made the other party feel embarrassed.
"You can be arrogant all you want. But that wine you drank will make you think that ssing with the sects is the biggest mistake you did.
I am pretty sure that your ridians are being clogged as we speak. You would be like that for a few hours and that is more than enough ti to kill you guys a dozen tis.
As he spoke, the wind elent suddenly razed and he created a large tornado around him which slowly got compressed into a small tornado in his hand and aid at the trio.
Watt leisurely extended his hands and clapped once.
The wind elental energy beca chaotic for a second as ripples ford around them. The tornado that was making its way towards them, disappeared as if it was never there.
"Flashy moves, no substance."
Watt said as he shook his head in disappointnt. He has seen so many wind elental cultivators and everyone is doing the sa. They are making big and flashy moves that could create a lot of ruckuses.
Of course, they are destructive but not as destructive as they actually can be.
He sighed and wind elental energy gathered at his hand as he swung it fiercely.
A large wind blade condensed densely arrived right in front of the young master who attacked him in a flash.
