Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 633 - 392: Stone Hand _1

Chapter 633: Chapter 392: Stone Hand _1

In the noon hour, Logan strolled around the Saint Sky Sect, while Bart Cloud was cultivating against the clock, hoping to take advantage of the Spiritual Energy of the Saint Sky Sect to break through his current Realm. After all, in the Central Region, Strong Ones are as common as clouds, and his own fully realized King strength was too weak. He didn’t want to keep holding Logan back.

Meanwhile, Aurelius Azure had come to look for him and gently smiled, “You really know how to enjoy yourself. Oh, by the way, just before Peregrine Azure left, he asked me to give you ten million Spirit Stones. Count them.”

Saying this, Aurelius Azure tossed over a Space Storage Bag. Logan had forgotten all about it; it was only now, after being reminded, that he remembered. But in principle, the ten million Spirit Stones should have been for the various Lords, not for himself, though clearly the Saint Sky Sect had no intention of running to the Western Wasteland to deliver Spirit Stones.

Therefore, Logan accepted them. After all, to the Saint Sky Sect, one of the Five Great Sects of the Central Region, ten million Spirit Stones were but a trifle. If he didn’t take them, it was like leaving money on the table. The Central Region was much richer than the Western Wasteland; even the medium-sized Sects here were comparable to the Great Sects of the Western Wasteland.

Logan did the math. He now had sixty or seventy million Spirit Stones on him. Except for the initial twenty million Spirit Stones he had gotten from the Wexler Clan, the rest had been accumulated over time. He couldn’t help but feel as if he were dreaming. Just half a year ago, when he was in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he couldn’t have scraped together a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. But look how things had changed in such a short time, it was truly sigh-worthy.

“Where is Peregrine Azure?” Logan asked. In principle, even if he were to receive Spirit Stones, it should definitely have been Peregrine Azure delivering them, not Aurelius Azure. Aurelius Azure mentioned “just before Peregrine Azure left”? So Logan was curious as to where Peregrine Azure had gone, especially since he had just returned to the Saint Sky Sect the day before.

Aurelius Azure smiled, then explained, “You probably know about the situation in the Central Region. More than half of the Sects are harboring malicious intent under the instigation of the Demon Path. But with the situation in the Western Wasteland now settled, I want to use Peregrine Azure’s influence to persuade those Sects not to cause trouble.”

“You… are really…” Logan bit back the word “stupid.” Making this decision was akin to harming Peregrine Azure. If those Sects in the Central Region were so easily persuaded, they would have bowed down at the fall of the Demonic Sky Gate, not waiting until now. A battle in the Central Region was inevitable.

It was like the recent events in the Western Wasteland, where the three Lords tried to persuade those Sects not to join the Demonic Sky Gate, only to find the majority sided with it. To these Sects, they aligned with whoever was stronger, and playing the card of sentiment wasn’t effective.

“I believe in Peregrine Azure’s abilities!” Although Aurelius Azure noticed Logan’s displeasure, he had his own plans. Even if Peregrine Azure persuaded just one or two Sects, it would relieve a great deal of pressure on the Five Great Sects, because the situation had come to this point, and he had no choice but to try.

Logan shook his head, resigned, “For the whole of the Central Region, the five Sects allied with the Saint Sky Sect have long harbored a deep-seated anger, feeling that you have taken too much of the cultivation resources. To a cultivator, cultivation resources are indeed more important than life itself. So this is not just a simple conflict, and it’s not caused by the instigation of the Blood Drinking Sect, but a war over the resources.”

“It’s true Peregrine Azure is capable, and the Sect Heads of the Central Region aren’t fools either. They wanted to back off after seeing what happened in the Western Wasteland, but now they are compelled by the situation. Even if they are willing to bow their heads, do you think the Disciples within their Sects would agree? If any Sect Leader dares to openly stand with the Saint Sky Sect, they’re sure to face pressure from their own Sect’s Disciples.”

“This… I hadn’t thought of that!” said Aurelius Azure, falling silent. He had only considered the combat strength of both sides and their respective trump cards, believing that as long as one’s own side was powerful enough, the other Sects would back down. But there was this underlying reason too?

If it was as Logan said, Peregrine Azure’s journey was indeed fraught with mortal danger. In the best case, he might return unscathed, but in the worst case, he could be attacked by over a hundred Sects, leaving him in a situation where he would perish both physically and spiritually. This could become a sacrificial battle for those Sects to stand against the Saint Sky Sect.

After a long pause, Aurelius Azure looked at Logan again, “Then, according to you, how do we resolve the conflicts in the Central Region? At present, our alliance of the five renowned Sects of the Central Region can contend with those hundred-plus Sects, but if things drag on, we will surely be defeated one by one.”

“Shouldn’t you be more concerned about Peregrine Azure first? It would be best to send a message by carrier pigeon and ask him to come back.” Logan spread his hands, feeling that Aurelius Azure should be more concerned about this right now. If Peregrine Azure were to fall, the Prosperous Heaven Sect would certainly suffer a great loss. A Quasi-Saint isn’t easily nurtured.

“There’s nothing but to wait and see. Each Sect in the Central Region has a Shielding Array, so my pigeon messages will most definitely be intercepted. In a moment, I will send one of the Elders from our Sect to see if we can locate Peregrine Azure. This is the most we can do.”

Aurelius Azure gave a wry smile. Peregrine Azure was the Vice Sect Leader of their Sect and the one he was cultivating as the next Sect Leader; naturally, he was deeply concerned. But since Peregrine Azure left early in the morning, there was no turning back, and all Aurelius Azure could do now was wait for news.

“Solving the disputes in the Central Region isn’t difficult, as they are largely fueled by the Blood Drinking Sect’s instigation. But right now, it’s very difficult for you to act against the Blood Drinking Sect, and those hundred-plus misled Sects won’t accept it. So if they want to conquer each one separately, why can’t you turn the tables on them?”

Logan smiled slyly, took a sip of his tea, and continued, “The excuse of those Sects is nothing more than a complaint that the five great Sects in the Central Region are not distributing resources evenly. But as long as that excuse disappears, they’ll have no reason, and this whole farce will collapse on its own.”
