CHAPTER 991 THE SPIRIT SECT WAS STILL THE STRONGEST
All the creatures present heard what Langston had said. In an instant, it seemed that their guesses
were right and they all knew what was happening in front of them.
"It seems that Langston is really following you," Tina said as she heaved a sigh of relief. "Tell me the
truth, Ricky. Did you know from the start that people of the Spirit Sect would show up?
Was that why you decided to reveal your Golden Spirit Eyes?"
"Oh, Tina, you're overestimating me. We're on the same page. I didn't expect that the people of the
Spirit Sect would come here, not to mention Langston coming here personally," Ricky said with a smile.
"The only reason why I activated the Golden Spirit Eyes was because I was left with no choice.
Otherwise, I would be seriously injured. And if that happened, then I would not be able to use the Evil
Devouring Mouth.
Of course, I didn't expect that Calvin would come, either. I can't believe that everything is so
complicated now."
"All right. But that doesn't matter now. All that matters is whether Langston is sincere in looking for a
genius, or not. If so, then it will be a lot easier to settle the matter, because we will know what to do,"
Tina explained.
"Well, I hope so!" Ricky replied.
Meanwhile, the Hong Clan could not be any happier. Initially, they had thought that they would
eventually surrender to the Spirit Sect. However, it seemed that things turned out in their favor.
After all, there might be no reason for them to do that anymore, because their chief's future son-in-law
was a genius who had drawn Langston's attention.
"Wait, are you serious? Langston, you said that we could find a peerless genius somewhere here, but I
can't find any peerless genius aside from Carney," Calvin said in a threatening voice.
When it came to power or fame, the Spirit Sect was superior to the Chu Clan. Therefore, his threat
didn't work on Langston because the people of the Spirit Sect were also there.
"Ha-ha, you must be kidding me, Calvin." Upon hearing Calvin's failed threat, Langston burst into
laughter.
"Now that you think there is no other peerless genius in sight, then just forget what I said. After this, I'll
take whomever I suspect is a peerless genius, and bring that person back to the Spirit Sect. I believe
you won't stop me with my plan, will you?"
After saying his words, Langston pointed his finger at Ricky.
"Young man, would you like to accept my invitation to join the Spirit Sect? What do you think?"
Langston invited Ricky without hesitation.
"I envy him so much!" one of the warriors burst out in envy as they could not help but get jealous about
Langston's offer to Ricky.
On the other hand, they all understood that Ricky deserved the invitation. After all, he had already
proven that not only was he superior to Carney's skills, but also more talented than Carney.
"Thank you very much, sir. It is an honor to be given a chance to join you," Ricky responded to the
invitation without hesitation.
Of course he wouldn't refuse such a grand invitation. Otherwise, he would have to let the Evil
Mandragora stand out and fight for him this time, which might cause terrible consequences in the long
run. Moreover, it was absolutely a good thing for him to join such a powerful and respected force such
as the Spirit Sect.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a domineering voice. "Stop, Langston! You
can't take this man away."
"What did you just say? Why are you stopping me? Could it be possible that you want him to join the
Chu Clan instead?" Langston asked with a little smirk on his face. "If so, then it would be entirely up to
him. As spiritual emperors, we can't force him to do something out of his own will!"
"I think you may have misunderstood me, Langston. What I wanted to say is that I'm going to kill him.
So for the sake of the Chu Clan, please don't get involved in this matter. If you want to recruit a genius,
then allow me to look for other geniuses for you, just not him," Calvin said monotonously.
All the warriors were silent upon hearing his words. In fact, they didn't even dare discuss the matter
even in low and hushed voices. As far as they knew, nobody could respond to Calvin except Langston
regarding the matter.
"I see where this is going. But if you'd ask me, I don't think it's necessary for you to kill him. He is just a
junior. He and Carney's recent fight was a learning opportunity for both of them. It's improper for us to
meddle in their fight. Otherwise, people may say that you have bullied and humiliated someone who is
much weaker than you," Langston said after a moment of silence.
"My own reputation doesn't matter, but the reputation of our Chu Clan is different. That guy almost
ruined my son's cultivation, and he also insulted my nephew. He has provoked our Chu Clan severely,"
exclaimed Calvin.
"Anyone who provokes the Chu Clan has to pay for what he has done. So, Langston, please choose
another genius.
But since you appreciate him, it is just fair for me not to kill him. I will keep him alive under one
condition: I will abolish his cultivation."
All the warriors who heard this could not help but feel a little scared of Calvin's words. They felt
threatened by the Chu Clan's arrogance that Calvin could destroy Ricky's cultivation if he pleased. Any
warrior wouldn't wish his own cultivation to be taken away, for it was the greatest torture.
"Ha-ha, don't take it too seriously, Calvin. It's rare for me to feel interested in a genius, and besides, I
don't want to miss him. Please, I am asking you to do me a favor and let go of him. I will pay you a visit
to express my gratitude later," Langston pleaded again.
At this moment, he seemed a little impatient and his voice sounded a little cold.
Meanwhile, the void's atmosphere became icy, and the other kinds of power felt heavier.
On the other hand, all the warriors around them retreated quickly, because they could not stand the
power that two spiritual emperors could burst out if they had a fight.
Such intense atmosphere continued for a long time before Calvin broke the silence and said,
"Langston, the prestige of our clan is inviolable, so I have to take him away. I firmly believe that this is
the right thing to do. So, what will you do to me then?"
"If you insist on taking him away, then I have no choice but to insist on taking him from you," Langston
said in a light tone.
As soon as their voices trailed away, their bodies began to build up their momentums.
"It seems that Langston really wants to save you, Ricky. Don't worry, we will be safe after this," Tina
said. "There are two middle spiritual emperors from the Spirit Sect present, so Calvin would not dare
continue fighting this battle."
"Now that they want to recruit a genius like you, they would obviously have to show you their sincerity.
If you reveal your chaotic power, then I think Langston would say nothing more with Calvin," the Evil
Mandragora said. Content provided by .
"Hey, look.
Langston, are you serious enough to stir up trouble between the Spirit Sect and the Chu Clan because
of someone who is out of the picture?" Calvin threatened again, as he wanted to deescalate the
tension.
"Ha-ha, that's not what I want either, but it seems to me that you are a little overbearing," Langston said
with a smile. "If you still insist, then there's only one thing that I can tell you: the Spirit Sect is still the
strongest force here. Let that sink in."
Calvin and the other members of the Chu Clan all sank into silence at Langston's words, their faces
gloomy.
But they didn't dare say anything. The fact that the Chu Clan didn't have any middle spiritual emperor
meant that they were not qualified to contend with the Spirit Sect.
With this, they thought that Carney was their only hope in the future.
"Ha-ha, I couldn't agree with you more. The Spirit Sect is indeed the strongest force in here," Calvin
said as he burst into laughter after moments' silence.
But as far as everyone could tell, this wasn't a laughter of happiness, but rather a laughter of warning.
From how he responded, Calvin wanted to let the Spirit Sect know that they were the strongest, but
that could change in the blink of an eye.
"Ha-ha! Calvin, you are really so open-minded. Thank you so much for acknowledging us!" Langston
said with a smile, ignoring Calvin's warning.
"Since you have already finished what you needed to do, you may leave in peace right now, Langston.
The Chu Clan will have to stay, though, because we still have unfinished business," Calvin said with
abandonment.
