The Man’s Decree

In the entire Ethereal Realm, self-interest was paramount. No one would take them in, so there was nowhere for them to obtain the resources.

Without resources, cultivation would be impossible, and one’s strength would remain stagnant. In this way, they would gradually be eliminated.

“Harlan, I’ve already acknowledged you as the sect leader. Are you still determined to wipe us all out?” asked Gael, his eyes widening.

“Mr. Ortiz, you’re accusing me. Didn’t I spare both you and your daughter? As for the others, they conspired with the Demonic Cultivators. The Violet Flame Sect simply cannot tolerate such actions. Moreover, this rule has been established since the inception of the Violet Flame Sect. Our ancestors from the Violet Flame Sect were known for being the greatest hater of the Demonic Cultivators. I didn’t do anything wrong by acting this way, did I?” replied Harlan nonchalantly.

At this point, Gael found himself at a loss for words. After all, he didn’t know what was going on.

Although he trusted that Dario and his group wouldn’t possibly conspire with the Ghost Mask Sect, Harlan had slandered them. They were unable to prove their innocence.

“Harlan, the truth is as clear as day and night. Who exactly colluded with the Ghost Mask Sect? Do you dare to swear on it?” scolded an elder from Gael’s faction furiously.

Harlan’s expression turned cold. The Divine Flame Seal in his hand suddenly erupted with a fiery aura.

“Such an impudent little thing…”

After he finished speaking, the flame aura surged directly toward the elder.

In just a fleeting moment, the elder was sent flying backward, blood spilling from his mouth. His body was covered in scorch marks.

“Harlan…”

Gael’s eyes were filled with fury and laden with murderous intent. His fists were clenched tight, yet he refrained from striking, constantly holding himself back.

“Harlan, now that you’re the sect leader, you can certainly give orders and make decisions. However, you must be reasonable and act with evidence. You accused Dario and the others of conspiring with the Ghost Mask Sect. What evidence do you have?” questioned Gael loudly.

“Evidence?”

Harlan gave a cold laugh. “The Divine Flame Seal in my hand is the proof. If I say that they’re conspiring with the Ghost Mask Sect, then it must be true.”

Upon seeing Harlan brandishing the Divine Flame Seal with such arrogance, Gael knew that they would definitely be chased out of the Violet Flame Sect that day.

It was a shame that his spiritual sense never fully recovered. Otherwise, he might have a chance at winning.

However, he knew that if both sides were to clash, the Violet Flame Sect would be doomed.

It would be a lose-lose situation. Other sects would certainly take advantage of the weakness and replace the Violet Flame Sect.

“Mr. Ortiz, Harlan has gone too far with his bullying. We should just go all in fighting him.” roared Dario furiously, his eyes red.

It was clear that Harlan was bullying them. This was an affront they couldn’t just swallow.

“Haha. You think you can compete with me? You’re not even in my league…”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Harlan burst into hearty laughter. With a casual wave of his hand, Berthold, Winston, and the rest immediately encircled the Gael and his faction.

Moreover, Carlo was showing off his skills. Arcane arrays appeared on both sides constantly.

As they watched the arcane arrays continuously light up, Gael’s’ faction felt utterly despondent.

If a real fight broke out, they were likely to be trapped in this area, with no chance of escape.

“The Duad Formation Sect does not need to intervene in the internal affairs of the Violet Flame Sect.”

Rohan, who had always maintained neutrality, suddenly sprang up. As he made some hand seals, streaks of white light flashed by. The arcane arrays set up by Carlo were broken in an instant.

Upon seeing Rohan siding with Gael, Harlan frowned and said, “Mr. Cunningham, you’re only responsible for the Violet Flame Sect’s assessments and the sect defense formation. You’ve never meddled in other affairs. Are you opposing me today?”

Although Harlan had obtained the Divine Flame Seal, he certainly did not want to offend Rohan. After all, Rohan was the only array master in the Violet Flame Sect. They relied on him for many things.
