Chapter 3759 A Multifactional Alliance
“Bluesky Sect’s strength would surely be bolstered tremendously if we could convince someone like him to join us.” “Agreed, but I’m afraid that line of thinking isn’t very realistic.”
“I’m more interested in those secrets that Levi possesses. It’s been said that the swords he forged are held in high regard by the Void Sect itself.” “That’s right. Even their fifth and sixth Empyrean is in awe of his forging technique.”
The other elders of Bluesky Sect engaged each other in a lively discussion before Zerach raised a hand to call for silence. “Levi and the others must be dabbling with some form of advanced technique to be able to elevate their prowess within such a short time the way they did. Bluesky Sect would be able to become exponentially stronger should we be able to gain knowledge of it.
Coupled with that supreme forging technique, who is to say that we won’t be able to attain greater heights than ever before? Hence, I think it might be best for us to capture Levi’s family members and use the lives of his wife and daughter to threaten him into surrendering his skills and forging technique. What do all of you think?”
Zerach’s words received widespread support, but there was a minority who expressed the need to exercise caution so as to avoid inviting calamity onto themselves. “Your proposal is a fine one, Father, but I fear that Bluesky Sect might not be strong enough to pull this off!”
Hansel’s words spoke to his contemporaries’ gravest concern. That drew a laugh from Zerach. “For us to attempt this alone would surely prove challenging, but what if we were to seek collaboration with a few other sects?”
The masses were suddenly enlightened, as it was only human nature to seek out that which was advantageous over that which was not. By making the value of what Levi possessed public knowledge,
how could the other factions possibly not become tempted?
“We should seek to enter an alliance with other sects that are comparable to ourselves in strength. That way, we may be able to avoid being double-crossed,” Jasper added. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zerach broke into a boisterous guffaw. “Great minds do think alike!”
“It would seem like you already have some prospective partners in mind, Father, but I wonder if the Void Sect would be inclined to take any follow-up action? After all, Santino was hurt!” said Hansel grimly.
“Master Hansel’s concerns are not without merit. Santino is the beloved student of their vice sect leader Geraint Earkenhait. Do you think he might come forward to redress their aggrievement? If the Void Sect were to get involved in this, we might not have any chance to get at those treasures ourselves. That would be truly troubling indeed!”
Zerach waved his hand and said, “Rest assured, everyone, that I know Geraint well. He is haughty as heck and has no respect for anyone. Aside from the leader of the Void Sect, he sees everyone else as mere spittle beneath his feet. Such an arrogant man would surely not venture to raise the entire might of the sect against any individual from the mundane world, as he would find that demeaning of someone of his own stature.”
The masses variously nodded to express their approval.
Seeing that the others had been relieved of their doubts, Zerach continued in a deep voice, “Hansel, I want you to go out and extend invitations to these four major sects personally. Tell them that I have a matter that I wish to discuss.”
The others reacted in astonishment. It seems that Zerach has already had everything planned out to the point that he even had the invitation cards prepared ahead of time.
Hansel accepted the task readily, as he had been itching to get even for quite a while now. He had even fantasized about how he would eventually torment Levi in order to soothe his own rage.
In the dark of night, Bluesky Sect hosted a magnificent banquet for the heads of the four major sects who had convened at the invitation Hansel sent out to them.
Represented there was the Order of the Sacred Saber, Aether Sword Clan, Order of the Witching Star, and Ironfist Clan. Overall, the strength of the gathered sects was more or less on par with that of the Bluesky Sect.
“All of you honor me with your presence here. May I propose a toast to a fruitful collaboration ahead,” said Zerach with a hearty laugh.
“You are too kind, Mr. Xanadu.”
“Yes. It is you who honor us by considering us for involvement in such a wonderful undertaking!”
“Please, tell us how we shall proceed, and we shall do our utmost for it!”
The leaders of the four major sects tossed back and emptied their glasses.
Without withholding anything, Zerach unreservedly brought everything pertaining to Levi to the fore, making sure to explain the risks and rewards involved in great detail.
