This was good stuff!
Absolutely good stuff!
Bluster could not help but laugh heartily. "With this immortal herb, breaking through the later stages is just around the corner!"
A long rainbow fell behind Bluster. "Who's there?"
Bluster suddenly turned around.
Seeing Merrick's smiling face, he immediately stashed the immortal herb into his storage ring.
"Merrick, have you forgotten our agreement?"
They controlled 26 peaks. To avoid disputes, they drafted a temporary agreement. They agreed not to enter the peaks of other sects without permission.
Merrick waved his hand, smiling slightly as he said, "Solace, my friend, I've come to discuss something with you."
Bluster snorted coldly. "What is it? You want me to deal with Nash again?"
He was still resentful about Merrick trying to trick him three days ago.
Frankly, the relationship between the Unfettered Sect and the Fiery Flame Sect was not bad. Although the two sects often clashed, they did not let it affect their relationship. Merrick put away his playful demeanor and said seriously, "I want to ask you about what the Divine Strategy Squadron said!"
"They're scaremongering. They're all just exaggerations!
"Besides, even if those Western cultivators want to clash with us, we don't need to fear them!" Bluster said carelessly with hands behind his back.
The Unfettered Sect had two Profound Oriental Realm powerhouses.
The Fiery Flame Sect had one, the Misty Templar Court had one, the Sky Saber Sect had two, and the Zen Heart Sect had one.
Seven Profound Oriental Realm cultivators could even contend with top-tier sects like the Sakaris Mountain Sword Sect. So, those Western cultivators were not worth worrying about. Merrick squinted and said, "In that case, do you know how many Legendary Realm powerhouses the Western cultivators have?"
They participated in the Eight-Nation Cultivation Battle a hundred years ago. Hence, they were very familiar with the Western cultivation system. The Legendary Realm was equivalent to the Profound Oriental Realm.
Bluster replied casually, "It won't exceed ten!"
Merrick smiled ambiguously. "What if it exceeds ten or even 20?"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Bluster paused for a moment before chuckling indifferently. "If they really had that many Legendary Realm cultivators, they would've attacked us long ago!"
Merrick murmured, "I think the Divine Strategy Squadron's concerns are not unfounded. It's not a bad thing to prepare in advance!"
"So, what do you intend to do?"
"I plan to ally with the Divine Strategy Squadron." Merrick's gaze was resolute.
Among the Six Great Sects the Sky Saber Sect, the Misty Templar Court, and the Zen Heart Sect had behaved improperly. Merrick had long wanted to break away from the Six Great Sects. It was just that their power bases were all in the north.
If they left the camp of the Six Great Sects, the northern faction would no longer have a foothold for the Fiery Flame Sect. "Have you gone crazy?" Bluster stared at Merrick incredulously.
"Don't you know that the Zen Heart Sect and the Misty Templar Court had a feud with the Divine Strategy Squadron? If you ally with Divine. Strategy Squadron, the Zen Heart Sect and the Misty Templar Court will definitely marginalize you!"
Merrick gazed into the distance and said in a deep tone, "The Zen Heart Sect and the Misty Templar Court are unscrupulous. Associating with them will eventually bring trouble to us." Bluster finally understood what Merrick was trying to say.
This guy was planning to leave the Six Great Sects.
However, the Fiery Flame Sect had been rooted in the north for over a thousand years. It was not something they could just walk away from.
Merrick turned to Bluster and said,
"So, I believe in the Divine Strategy Squadron's suspicions. The Western cultivators will soon make a move against us. Without any defense, we'll suffer heavy losses if we really encounter an attack from the Western cultivators."
After saying these words, Merrick walked away. "Bluster, we've known each other for a hundred years, and we're considered good friends. I've said all I can. You should think carefully about what to do next!"
