Chapter 180: Congratulations, sect master!
The silence enveloped the venue. Even Mo Qingsha fell in thoughts.
Personally he hated spatial cultivators with passion, but the old witch had a point – two elemental lords was incredibly powerful force. Even Celestial Abyss had only a handful.
The question about the assimilation of another sect in his eyes was a laughable matter. Obviously it was normal for anyone to do. Thousands of new subordinates meant mountains of resources in yearly tribute. The decision was clear.
Elder Wang’s nostrils flared. He barely stood, supporting himself on the table, or maybe he was using it to hold himself back. His old friend, Elder Luo, stood next to him, his hand on the sword. But everyone, Mo Qingsha, elders and even junior elders knew the two had to calm down. They had been outplayed.
"It’s fine, old man." Lunax suddenly spoke. Despite the reaction, he was completely calm.
He said, "Let’s put our past behind us and work together for the brighter future!"
"You little snake!" Elder Wang hissed, "Because of you, hundreds of our disciples died! Moreover – for the past two centuries you have been kidnapping hundreds of thousands of children from different worlds! You’re a criminal that needs to be put to death!"
"Elder Wang, it won’t be something for you to decide." Yelren Vorth spoke for the first time. His voice was quiet, even slightly hypnotizing, "We’re all a part of one sect from now on!"
Only now Elder Wang realized that all this time Elder Su addressed the two as elders, as if they were already a part of the sect. And the two behaved as such as well.
"Over my dead body!" Elder Wang said, but his voice turned rasp, as if the man was drying up with every heartbeat, "You are criminals! Vorth will be trialed after this, but you, LunLun, you still have over millennia to sit in your dump. Run back before it’s too late!"
"Elder Wang, please calm down!" Elder Su said, but it was hard to tell whether her ridiculing tone was to provoke Elder Wang more, or she just made fun of him, "Don’t embarrass yourself! We have guests."
