The Story Never Ends
Chapter 41 - The Blood Saber Sect

"Haha, Thaddeus, it's been a long time, how have you been?"

Outside the Bone and Devil sect's lecture hall, a dark-faced middle-aged man leading several young boys and girls in dark red robes greeted Thaddeus even though he was still a distance away.

"So, it's the elder of the Blood Saber Sect himself. My bad." Thaddeus's face was emotionless. Now, the Bone and Devil Sect has lost all its disciples, there was no one to watch the sect. As a result, he had no idea at all that outsiders had entered the sect and even arrived outside the lecture hall.

"But I do not remember sending an invitation to your sect, have I?"

The elder who came here is named Edgar. Hundred years ago, he joined the sect as a handyman disciple. He had a very poor talent. But who could have thought that in just 5 years, he managed to reach the peak stage of Body Refining State being a handyman disciple? So, everyone got suspicious about him having a treasure. But who knows why suddenly the Sect Master took him as his personal disciple? In 20 years, he reached the late stage of Qi refining state and after 30 years he reached the Golden Core State. Now he is nearly a hundred years of age and is already about to enter the middle stage of Golden Core State.

Because of him, the Blood Saber Sect always ranked first in all the Northern Sect Conference meetings in the past years. As a result, the Blood Saber Sect became the number one sect in the outer region. They possess many spirit mines and are in control of many territories.

Not only that, but they are also interested in the territory of the Bone and Devil Sect. But Thaddeus doesn't seem to know why they were interested in this small sect. The only thing remaining here is the graveyard and the underground caves.

"Indeed, we have come uninvited. But it was simply because I had some tasks to do in Lilium City. I got some important news about the Conference there. As this sect is near Lilium City, I thought I'd come and pay a visit too. I wanted to have a look at how you're doing." Edgar guffawed in laughter.

"But it seems like… Thaddeus, your situation doesn't look too good?"

"I don't need you to worry about my sect," Thaddeus responded placidly. But deep down he was feeling really angry. Edgar didn't even address him the way a Sect Master should have. But simply called him by his name despite just being an elder.

"To be honest, Thaddeus, don't you replace it tough? Such a huge sect for such a small group of people… and yet you've got to take care of such a large base. I'm really worried for you…" Edgar sneered.

"What do you mean, Edgar?" Thaddeus asked impatiently.

"This time, the Northern Sects Conference will happen in Lilium City after one month. As your sect has ranked last in every previous Conference, and all your disciples have left, the sect ground and this land are getting deserted. So, we and all other sects have come to the conclusion that all these resources are going to be offered to the sect who is going to rank first in the Conference so as not to waste these resources."

"You can't do this." Thaddeus faltered and took two steps back.

"Thaddeus, so I have come here with a solution." Edgar finally revealed his agenda.

"As long as you decide to offer up the grounds to our sect, we'll help your sect ensure its lineage is not broken in the upcoming Northern Sects Conference."

"I can even give you some benefits and compensation which is much better than taking part in the Conference. If you take part in it, then you will definitely rank last as usual. You should know what happens when you rank last, do you? You will loose everything." Edgar confidently spoke.

"This is a naked threat!"

Flames of anger were raging in Thaddeus' heart. But at the thought of the sect's current dire circumstances, he was doused with cold water.

"Think about it carefully, Thaddeus. This is a warning from my Blood Saber Sect." Edgar chuckled and took his disciples away.

Thaddeus couldn't do anything and just could watch them leave.

He was not so naive to think that they would protect the lineage of the Bone and Devil Sect if he gave away their headquarters.

Was not the Blood Saber Sect and the other sects, the reason for the current predicament of his sect? Was it not they who had been acting behind the scenes? Otherwise, it would take many more years for this sect to fall to this state naturally.

He understood clearly that Edgar had come today to deliver a threat. If they did not offer up their headquarters, he would wipe them all out.

When Edgar was leaving with his disciples, he saw a young man coming towards the sect. Davion was also looking at them.

"Eh..someone dares to join this sect?" Edgar and the disciples behind him all laughed.

Davion didn't mind them and entered the sect.
