“Understood!” As Broderick Fuller gave the command, everyone responded in unison.
“Master Broderick, are you sure you know how to find that thing in the Ether Mountain?” Elias Delaney looked at Broderick Fuller and asked.
“That’s our primary goal for this outing. We can’t afford any mistakes, or else the three of us will have a hard time explaining when we return!”
“As long as it’s truly in the Ether Mountain range, even if I have to dig three feet underground, I will find it!” Broderick Fuller responded solemnly.
“Very well!” Elias Delaney nodded in response.
“Master Broderick, what exactly is that thing?” One of the Northfortia men asked upon hearing their conversation.
Until then, he didn’t know that the members of the Blood and Devil Sects had other objectives besides revenge on the Guardian Alliance in the Ether Mountain.
He had always thought that the two sects came to the Ether Mountain purely for revenge against the Guardian Alliance.
“Why ask so much? When it’s time for you to know, I’ll tell you!” Broderick Fuller replied coldly.
Then, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go up the mountain!”
“Yes, sir!” Over two hundred people shouted in unison again, ready to set off.
“No need to go up!”
Just then, a woman’s voice echoed through the void.
Next moment, forty or fifty figures descended from the Ether Mountain as if immortals descending to the mortal realm.
The leader was Eliza Rice, the Peak Master of Floating Cloud Peak!
Following her were four men and women in their sixties or seventies.
Among them, the two men with no obvious expressions on their faces were two of the four guardians of the Ether Mountain, Dubhe and Megrez Sims.
The other two guardians followed the old man to the Forbidden Ruins Space and were not on the Ether Mountain.
The old man in white robe was Niko Wade, the dean of the inner courtyard of the Ether Mountain.
The remaining elderly person in green clothes was Aspen Kelly, the steward of Floating Cloud Peak.
In addition to these five, there were also elders from both the inner and outer courtyards of the Ether Mountain, including Adam and the two.
As for the other disciples of the Ether Mountain, Eliza Rice did not let them come down the mountain.
For a battle of this level, having ordinary disciples come out to fight would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
“Not bad!” Broderick Fuller looked at Eliza Rice and her group and said in a deep voice.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such powerful sects in this world, which really broadens my horizons. They are indeed the main stronghold of that old guy!”
“Besides, within the Guardian Alliance, apart from that old guy, there should be quite a few high-level forces from your Ether Mountain lineage as well!”
“You just realized it?” Eliza Rice replied indifferently.
The lineage of the Ether Mountain has a long history, with disciples spread all over the world, not just limited to the Ether Mountain range.
“If I guessed correctly, you should be that old guy’s woman, right?” Broderick Fuller looked Eliza Rice up and down and continued, “I have to say, that old guy has a good eye!”
“Nonsense, what are you talking about?” Aspen Kelly said angrily.
“Aspen, it’s okay, let him speak!” Eliza Rice waved her hand.
“You should consider yourself fortunate to be his woman!” Broderick Fuller continued to look at Eliza Rice and said, “Because today, I won’t kill you. I’ll just cripple your cultivation and then take you to the Forbidden Ruins Space.”
“Let him see how I torture his woman in front of him again!”
“You’re asking for death!” Aspen Kelly couldn’t bear it anymore and raised her hand to strike.
“Humph!” Donte Fuller, the Grand Elder of the Blood Sect, snorted coldly and struck out with his palm as well.
Bang!
After a move, Aspen Kelly stepped back seven or eight steps quickly, leaving a row of deep footprints under her feet.
As the steward of Floating Cloud Peak, her current cultivation was at the same level as the four great guardians, half step into the Holy Realm.
While Donte Fuller had already reached the actual Holy Realm, she was naturally slightly inferior.
“Aspen!” Adam and others shouted simultaneously.
“It’s okay!” Aspen Kelly waved her hand.
“Master Broderick is talking to your master. If you interrupt again, I’ll send you off first!” Donte Fuller glanced at Aspen Kelly.
“You…” Aspen Kelly glared at him.
“Aspen!” Eliza Rice stopped her.
Then, she looked at Broderick Fuller and said lightly, “Are you the second in command of the Blood Sect? Your Sect Master didn’t come himself and just sent you to die?”
“Well, let’s satisfy your curiosity first!” Broderick Fuller smiled coldly. “Later, you’ll be begging for mercy in front of me!”
“Centuries ago, the elders of the Blood Sect were at least at the mid stage of the Holy Realm.” Eliza Rice spoke again lightly.
“But now, you’re only at half step into the Holy Realm. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
“Hehe, the level of cultivation doesn’t matter. What matters is that as long as we can wipe out your Ether Mountain lineage!” Broderick Fuller replied.
“You’re quite confident in yourself!” Eliza Rice said, then ignored him.
Then, turning to Rode and the two people from Northfortia, she asked, “Are you people from Northfortia?”
“Is there something?” one of them replied.
“Do you Northfortians know what consequences it will bring to bring people from the Blood and Devil Sects to this world?” Eliza Rice continued.
“Regardless of the consequences, it’s only against your Glavale, isn’t it?” the man responded again.
“Northfortians are really idiots!” Niko Wade said with a speechless glance at him.
“You guys have no idea what you’re doing!”
“Do you really think the Blood and Devil Sects need you Northfortians as puppets?”
“What do you mean?” the man frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this, he once again thought of what Elias Delaney and Broderick Fuller had said before.
“You’re indeed an idiot!” Niko Wade responded again. “The whole of Northfortia is as foolish as you are!”
The man took a deep breath before speaking.
“Stop mocking Northfortians. You should consider your own situation!”
“It seems it’s time for you to make Northfortia meet its downfall!” Eliza Rice said lightly to the other side.
“Alright, stop bickering!” Broderick Fuller looked at Eliza Rice again.
“You should know why we came to Ether Mountain, right? I’ll give you a chance, all of you can give up your cultivation.”
“Then tell me, where is that thing, and I might consider sparing your lives.”
“You’re quite humorous!” Eliza Rice glanced coldly at the other side.
“You should be clear, with just your few people, wanting to guard that thing, it’s like daydreaming!” Broderick Fuller continued.
“You’re so confident?” Eliza Rice responded again.
“Confidence comes from absolute strength!” Broderick Fuller replied.
“Objectively speaking, the strength of your Ether Mountain lineage is indeed impressive, far beyond my estimation!”
“However, even so, you still have no chance of winning!”
“If my estimation is correct, your cultivation should be at the same level as mine.”
“And besides you, the strongest among your group are only at the half step into Holy Realm.”
“While on my side, besides me, there are two first-rank Holy Realms and one half step into Holy Realm.”
“Do you think you have any chance of winning?”
“You are ignorant!” Eliza Rice replied coldly.
“I just said, since your Sect Master didn’t come himself and sent you to die, do you think I’m just trying to scare you?”
