Chapter 2554: Do You Want to Die, or to Live?
Cyprian Valentine and Darius Aarav were casually chatting, discussing future matters, when suddenly, they sensed powerful auras emerging around them.
New Demonic Beasts?
The two turned their heads in astonishment, immediately seeing the murderous and formidable figures rushing out from behind the mountain peak, their faces changing drastically.
How can there be other people here?
"Watch out!"
Cyprian Valentine’s warning still lingered in the air as the first wave of attacks suddenly descended.
Magical treasure, Divine Skills, flames, Spiritual Power assaults, space collapse...
The two sides were originally just a short distance apart, with top-tier abilities; the attack happened in an instant.
"Boom!"
A series of blasts instantly shattered everything within a hundred miles to dust.
The unexpected and fierce attack caused heavy damage to the two families’ already wounded experts, further worsening their injuries.
Finnian Roth!
Cyprian Valentine’s mind instantly flashed Carson Flores’s face, anger erupting in his heart.
The Secret Realm gate was something they had temporarily opened, and they had previously confirmed that no cultivators existed in this small world, yet now so many cultivators suddenly appeared here!
Yes, without any warning, they appeared suddenly!
From Carson Flores’s resting spot!
Cyprian Valentine was getting ready to organize everyone for battle, but then he noticed the sky instantly enveloped by countless space mirrors, and he saw Halvyr Briggs soaring up, his mind turned cold as if plunged into an ice pit.
Crispin Valentine had just blocked a wave of attacks, ready to retaliate strongly, but upon seeing the Mirror Array in the sky and then Halvyr Briggs, his eyes widened in shock, blurting out: "Sect Leader!"
Darius Aarav’s face similarly changed dramatically, his eyes filled with terror.
The Sect Leader is still alive?
Wasn’t he dead?
"Wait!"
Darius Aarav shouted thunderously, prompting both sides to stop attacking instinctively.
The Valentine Family and Aarav Family were shocked by the Sect Leader’s appearance, wary in their hearts, while those Halvyr Briggs brought knew the purpose was not slaughter but taking control, so they didn’t rush to continue fighting.
The two sides faced off in mid-air, the atmosphere tense.
Crispin Valentine saw Lorvian Randall behind Halvyr Briggs, his expression abruptly turning grim.
Wasn’t he punished to the Suffering Pray Sea for a hundred years?
How does he appear here, even teaming up with Halvyr Briggs?
Rebellion!
Crispin Valentine’s face instantly darkened, realizing roughly what Halvyr Briggs and his people intended to do.
Either slay them and annihilate the strongest people of the Valentine and Aarav Families, thus causing chaos and removing any threat, or want to subjugate them for their use and battle the current Sect Hierarch.
Now, wearing the badge of Vice Sect Hierarch, having previously tricked Lorvian Randall, can he survive?
Even if they plan to subjugate the Valentine and Aarav Families, to kill one as a warning to others, Crispin Valentine couldn’t help but think, he would undoubtedly be that chicken!
Who else is more suitable than himself, the Vice Sect Hierarch?
In the Valentine Family, he isn’t the Family Head, but within the sect on-site, his position is the highest; clearly, this is internal sect conflict, so naturally, he is the most suitable to appear.
No matter how unwilling Crispin Valentine is to take the lead, but at this moment, in the Secret Realm, under Halvyr Briggs’s Mirror Array, with so many strong figures eyeing them, escape is simply impossible.
Bracing himself, Crispin Valentine cupped his hands and said: "Sect Leader, long time no see."
Halvyr Briggs’s gaze fell upon Crispin Valentine, calmly speaking: "Crispin Valentine, Vice Sect Hierarch... do you wish to die or live?"
Crispin Valentine was surprised by Halvyr Briggs’s straightforwardness, without saying a single unnecessary word, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Sect Leader, can you tell us what you intend to do?"
Lorvian Randall exclaimed aloud: "The Sect Hierarch conspired against the Sect Leader, seized the position through deceit, gained his status unrighteously, now Elder Briggs’s return, naturally wants to settle this score and reclaim the position of Sect Hierarch."
The Valentine and Aarav Family members’ faces changed incredibly; though Crispin Valentine was Vice Sect Hierarch, he had only heard some rumors, let alone others; now hearing the Sect Hierarch actually obtained his position through plotting against the Sect Leader, they were all extremely shocked.
Darius Aarav said deeply: "Lorvian Randall, you claim the Sect Hierarch plotted against the Sect Leader to seize power, do you have any evidence?"
Lorvian Randall sneered: "If Elder Briggs willingly abdicated the Sect Hierarch’s position to the incumbent Sect Hierarch, then Elder Briggs could peacefully continue staying within the sect, but why did he directly disappear for so long?"
"That one sent so many assassins to track Elder Briggs’s whereabouts, intending to completely eliminate Elder Briggs, leaving no future troubles, if he gained status righteously, he should thank and respect Elder Briggs, since it was Elder Briggs who chose him; why would he want to entirely eradicate Elder Briggs?"
"Moreover, Elder Briggs standing here now, isn’t that proof enough?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt it made sense.
If Halvyr Briggs truly abdicated willingly, why is he now risking tremendous danger to overthrow the person he chose?
Is he off his rocker?
The truth is singular.
Back then, Halvyr Briggs’s abdication was due to being plotted against, and now returning, he intends to reclaim the Sect Hierarch position originally his and avenge this bloody grudge!
