CHAPTER 696 THE THOUGHT TO UNITE THE FIVE MAJOR FORCES

The grand-elder, who came from the Heaven Lake Sect, felt two immense pressures coming toward

him at the fastest speed. He tried to run, but as soon as the force hit his body, he started trembling

fiercely. He felt goose bumps breaking throughout his limbs. Soon, his legs started feeling like jelly,

making him almost kneel on the ground.

The grand-elder narrowed his eyes at the two young men standing in front of him. They sent forth such

strong pressure! They might not be weaker than him.

His vicious look softened. He bowed to them, and a small smile crept on his lips. "Why did you kill the

disciple of the Heaven Lake Sect? Did he offend you?"

The disciples of the Heaven Lake Sect around were all dumbfounded. The dominant grand-elder came

ferociously and became soft-hearted as soon as he saw those two young men. Who on earth were

they?

One disciple couldn't understand just why the grand-elder suddenly changed his expressions after

seeing these two men. "Grand-elder, these two men suddenly came out of our treasure house. I went

in to have a look, but all the treasures were gone." He tightened his lips and swept a suspicious glance

at the two young men.

"It is I who took the treasures." Hobson stepped forward with his arms clasped behind his body.

"Ha-ha." Cold sweat sprang up on the grand-elder's body. This wasn't good. These stupid disciples

shouldn't take matters in their hands when they didn't have a single clue about the level of these

youths. He took multiple breaths to calm his racing heart and smiled. "It's not a big deal. Since you

think highly of those treasures, just take them as my gifts for you."

The smile faded off of the face of that disciple when he saw the grand-elder behaving like this. "What? Belongs © to .

Is the grand-elder afraid of them? Who are they?"

Another disciple looked at the two youths suspiciously. "Are these two really so powerful that we need

to give them our treasures?"

Other disciples also voiced their concerns aloud, giving the grand-elder a splitting headache. Why

couldn't they just stay silent and stop making things difficult for him?

"Humph, I've taken the treasures. But I have to tell you one thing, I'm not robbing your Heaven Lake

Sect. They are things your sect owes me," Hobson said and sneered.

"What do you mean, young man?"

"The leader of the Heaven Lake Sect had worked together with the other leaders of the major forces to

try to kill my good friend and me. Although they have been killed, the beloved godson of our senior died

in their hands. It is an atonement for your sin. Do you understand?"

Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and the eyes of the grand-elder twitched several times.

"Darren, do you think we should punish disciples of the Heaven Lake Sect?" Hobson turned to Darren

and slipped him a hopeful gaze.

Darren thought for a while and shook his head. "In my opinion, let them go. They have nothing to do

with us. Why should we kill them?" His voice was calm as ever.

In fact, the disciples of the major sects joined in those forces just to obtain more resources and martial

arts skills. Most of them were not scoundrels. Darren never killed innocent people.

The disciples heard the conversation and felt a flush of anger creeping up their faces. "Fuck! Enough!

These two guys are obviously pretending to be powerful and play with us. Let me kill them!"

A young man who had comprehended seventy percent of the Fringe Holy Will rushed out from the back

of these disciples. He roared and rushed to Darren and Hobson directly.

The attack flashed toward Hobson, but he dodged at his fastest speed. In the blink of an eye, Hobson

stood a few meters away from the blast.

So they wanted to kill him! The corner of Hobson's mouth lifted, and he swept his cold gaze at the

disciple. Hobson dashed forward and raised his hand to slap the young man's head. The hit was hard

enough to crush the thick skull as if someone smashed a heavy stone on the head.

"If you dare to offend us again, I will not spare you!" Hobson's eyes flashed in anger.

The scene shocked everyone. A cultivator who had mastered seventy percent of the Fringe Holy Will

was directly killed. It was too terrifying. They had no choice but to surrender.

At that moment, the grand-elder licked his lips in anticipation and marched forward. That was why he

had secretly prayed for these disciples to stay silent. "Don't be angry, young men. If there is anything I

can do for you, please let me know. I will try my best to satisfy you." A trace of fear crawled on his

spine. He had to appease these two youths somehow so that they could spare the lives of the

disciples.

"No, thanks. Let's go, Darren."

"Wait!" Hobson stopped in his tracks under Darren's sudden command and swept a curious glance at

him. Darren, on the other hand, revealed a smile on his face. "Now the leaders of the top five forces

have been killed by us. Why don't you recruit people of those five sects and be the leader?"

When Darren finished his words, Hobson's heart skipped a beat.

The five sects had existed for years. Over the years, the sects started to decline, but no one had ever

tried to unite them.

Now Darren wanted Hobson to take over the five major forces. It was like a dream for him.

Hobson's eyes gleamed with joy. "That's a good idea. It's a good thing for all the five major forces to

stick to the rules and regulations of the sect after the unity. Immoral people won't be doing evil things

anymore." He paused for a moment and looked at Darren earnestly. "But if we really unite the five

major forces, you should be the leader, and I don't think I am qualified enough to do that." Hobson

would be thrilled to become a leader, but with Darren around, it would be inappropriate for him to take

the leading role.

Darren's lips lifted at Hobson's words, and he shook his head. "No, that is impossible. I'm not meant to

be here. I'll leave one day."

Hobson's mouth fell open at that. Darren would leave one day? What did he mean by that? "Leave!

Where are you going?"

Darren waved off Hobson's worries. "I'll tell you more in the future. Now let's discuss how to control the

five major forces."

He turned his gaze at the grand-elder of the Heaven Lake Sect.

"What's your name, elder?" Darren bowed down and looked at the grand-elder with his hands cupped.

"My name is Tommy Wang."

"Elder Tommy, would you like to join us and complete a wonderful task together with us?" Darren asked

directly.

Tommy Wang wasn't surprised when he heard those words, but his heartbeat sounded like the

galloping of a horse in his ears. He had already guessed some part of what Darren had asked. Still,

wouldn't it be great to be a part of such an incredible task? If he were to participate in it, his name

would be marked in history, which would make his life worthy.

Still, he hesitated because he was worried about Darren's and Hobson's strength.

After thinking for a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "I have to say this know even if I might

make you angry. To unite the five major forces, you must be very powerful. I'm afraid your strength is..."

Before Tommy Wang could finish the sentence, Hobson cut him off. "Elder Tommy, are you doubting

our strength?" Hobson's expressions hardened when he heard those doubting words from the grand-

elder.

Darren waved his hand, signaling for Hobson not to be impatient. Then he said, "Elder Tommy, if my

friend and I work together, we can kill four warriors who have grasped ninety percent of Fringe Holy

Will. Do you still think it's difficult for us to unite the five major forces?"

Tommy stayed silent for a moment to ponder over his next words and then looked over at Darren.

"Frankly speaking, it is impossible for you two to make it if you only have such strength. Unless you two

have more powerful warriors to help you."

Tommy was straightforward and denied directly.

In fact, there were two reasons why he was so afraid of Darren and Hobson earlier. First, he was the

most powerful elder guarding the sect now. It wouldn't look good if Tommy fought them. So, he would

rather lose some treasures. Second, he assumed Darren and Hobson were too young but had such

overpowering strength, so they must have some more powerful masters behind them. Thus, the grand-

elder didn't want to get his whole sect into trouble just because of some treasures. But speaking of

uniting the five sects, the two youths were not powerful enough.

"Old man, did you forget that the leaders of the five forces are dead? Who else can stop us?" Hobson's

face burned in fury.

"Calm down, young man. Who told you that in the five sects, only leaders were powerful? I'm not afraid

to tell you that ten elders have comprehended ninety percent of Fringe Holy Will in our Heaven Lake

Sect. If you want to unify the five forces, it is quite impossible," Tommy said calmly.

"So now you want to brag about how powerful your sect is, huh? If your sect really has ten such

powerful warriors, why are you so polite with us? They should've killed us a long time ago," Hobson

sneered.

"It's all up to you whether to believe it or not. However, I strongly declare that without the help of a

powerful person, you two cannot unify the five major forces." Tommy shook his head in disagreement.

Darren could see that things were getting out of their hands. He poked Hobson's back urgently. "Forget

it, Hobson. Let's go. The five major sects have existed for such a long time. They can't survive without

a strong background." It was a sudden idea of Darren to unite the five major forces. It was okay if they

did not do it. For Darren, it really wasn't a big deal!

"Darren, he must be bluffing. I don't believe they have so many strong warriors,"

Hobson said and he jumped up into the air. His violent Holy Will surged crazily and smashed a few

pillars below into pieces.

"Hey!" He looked around and squinted his eyes at the disciples surrounding them. "Are there any

powerful warriors?" When no one replied, Hobson started chuckling loudly, staring at them with his dark

eyes.

Darren felt a surge of anger flooding through his veins. "Let's go." He stayed silent and looked coldly at

Hobson. His voice was sharper than a harsh gust of wind.

"Don't stop me now, Darren."

That was it! Hobson had surpassed all limits. Veins started popping on Darren's forehead. "Let's go!"

Darren released the blade and sword intents at Hobson. When Hobson felt a pressure coming from the

direction where Darren was standing, his eyes widened and looked back. He dodged the attack quickly.

Now when Hobson came back to his senses, he realized he unknowingly made Darren mad at him. His

Adam's apple bobbled, and he peered at Darren. "Don't be angry, Darren. I'll listen to you. Let's go now,

ha-ha." Hobson let out an embarrassed laughter.

"I'm sorry, guys. I don't think you can leave now."

A few human figures came from all directions and surrounded Darren and Hobson.
