Chapter 593: Chapter 372 Qi_1

Dashiell Skyward wasn’t a fool, otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the Vice Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate. He saw through Cain Scarlet and the others’ intentions in just an instant.

Thus, he sneered with amusement, “You want us and the Saint Sky Sect to both suffer heavy losses so that you can reap the benefits, do you really think the Demonic Sky Gate is that foolish?”

“Wasn’t it your Demonic Sky Gate who brought it up first?” Cain Scarlet responded calmly. If the Demonic Sky Gate wanted to fight the Saint Sky Sect, they couldn’t blame his forces for taking advantage of the situation, could they?

Either way, the Demonic Sky Gate had only two choices: either suffer mutual destruction with the Western Wilderness Forces, which would take at least a few hundred years to recover from, or fight the Saint Sky Sect in the Central Region, in which case it was only logical for his own forces to benefit as the opportunists.

“The Sect Leader sent me here to talk in the hopes that all forces in the Western Wasteland could unite against our common enemy and reclaim the resources in the Central Region that rightfully belong to us,” Cain Scarlet argued.

Dashiell Skyward’s expression changed to one of righteous indignation, “Think about it, all the forces in the Western Wasteland can live in peace only because the Demonic Sky Gate exists. If the Demonic Sky Gate falls, the Sects in the Central Region will come unbridled, no doubt.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself Demonic Sky Gate, do you really think the Saint Sky Sect is without its own strong figures?” Peregrine Azure couldn’t sit still any longer. He didn’t want these Sect Leaders to be swayed by the Demonic Sky Gate. Wouldn’t that be pushing the Saint Sky Sect into dire straits? With the Supreme Elder of his Sect still absent, they were reluctant to confront the Demonic Sky Gate head on.

Dashiell Skyward glanced at him, recognizing instantly that he was from the Demonic Sky Gate, “No wonder you’re so confident. So you’ve already made contact with someone from the Saint Sky Sect. But do you think you can act recklessly just because you rely on the Saint Sky Sect? You couldn’t possibly fathom the depths of the Demonic Sky Gate.”

“Do you from the Demonic Sky Gate really think you can match the Saint Sky Sect? Think carefully about what happened a few hundred years ago, how you were driven to this barren wasteland. Don’t think that just because you’ve regained some strength over a hundred years you can act arrogantly. Have you thought about the consequences if you fail?”

Facing the Demonic Sky Gate’s representative, Peregrine Azure certainly wasn’t about to show weakness, “Your Demonic Sky Gate has a Holy See, as does our Saint Sky Sect’s Supreme Elder, and even several Holy Sees in the Central Region are closely connected to our Supreme Elder. With just one word, they could lend a hand.”

“It doesn’t matter. The Demonic Sky Gate dared to send troops because we have planned for everything,” Dashiell Skyward said dismissively, not taking Peregrine Azure seriously at all. He was well aware of all the forces in the Central Region’s reserves. It was true that there were many Holy Sees, but at this moment, they were all overwhelmed with their own problems.

“Your Supreme Elder has been missing for ten years, are you sure he can return? The Demonic Sky Gate dares to act so presumptuously because we have a Holy See supporting us. In fact, I might as well reveal a bit now. There are no more Holy Sees in the world, only the one left in the Demonic Sky Gate.”

“What?” Everyone present was shocked at that moment. What did Dashiell Skyward mean by saying there was only one Holy See left in the world? Holy Sees, being the strongest among Cultivators, were a rarity—one in a million—but they did exist.

In the Ancient World, there were dozens of them left. Although many fell in the past year, like the Heavenly Saint Daoist and the Beast King, there were still quite a few remaining. How could the Demonic Sky Gate make such a bold claim without basis? Could it be they were privy to intel that others didn’t have?

And upon deeper consideration, indeed if there were several Holy Sees remaining in the Central Region, the Demonic Sky Gate wouldn’t dare seek vengeance against the Saint Sky Sect with just one Holy See. But what kind of incident caused all the Holy Sees to vanish in an instant, leaving everyone completely bewildered?

Even Peregrine Azure was befuddled, but at the same time, he felt a twinge of trepidation. How could Dashiell Skyward know so precisely about the status of their own Supreme Elder? Indeed, since the Supreme Elder left ten years ago to wander, he had not returned to the Sect nor given any sign of his whereabouts.

Though the Sect was initially worried, they soon took consolation in the fact that the Supreme Elder had become a Holy See, and there was no one in this world capable of posing him any harm. As such, they hadn’t taken the matter to heart. Now suddenly confronted by Dashiell Skyward’s words, Peregrine Azure felt an uncontrollable anxiety.

Seeing the varied expressions among the crowd, Dashiell Skyward laughed heartily, “As I thought, you’re all still in the dark. Really, there’s no one who can stop the Demonic Sky Gate. The only reason we refrained from a massacre is our fear of certain repercussions—do you really think your strength is formidable?”

“Blowing smoke to try and intimidate us?” Cain Scarlet’s eyes were sharp, considering Dashiell Skyward’s previous words to be nothing more than nonsense. The idea that dozens of Holy Sees in the Ancient World could vanish so suddenly was preposterous, especially since none of them had heard even the slightest rumor.

“Don’t listen to him. To think someone who is at least the Vice Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate would lie without a second thought. Do you really think Holy Sees are as common as cabbages picked up for free? Such high-level Strong Ones are unlikely to come to misfortune,” he retorted.

Sandy Wexler also nodded in agreement, thinking that Cain Scarlet made a good point. He had almost been deceived by Dashiell Skyward’s lies. After some thought, he found the idea utterly absurd. If Holy Sees could be so easily vanquished, how could they be called the strongest? Cultivators pursue such an existence their entire lives.

The others also looked at Dashiell Skyward, clearly thinking he was lying; their faces showed contempt and scorn, thinking that the Demonic Sky Gate’s methods were somewhat despicable, stooping to any level to achieve their goals, even fabricating such lies.

Dashiell Skyward was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood, he loudly retorted, “Believe it or not, almost all the Holy Sees in the Ancient World went to the forbidden region of Ancient Times in search of a path to ascend further. All of them got trapped inside, only the one from the Demon Path was lucky enough to escape.”
