Chapter 3971 Everyone Is Shocked

Three days after Astre Lune Sect’s rescue, the news about the robber coming back alive became the talk of the town, causing havoc in the forces between each sect.

There was an uproar at the meeting hall of Wind Blade Sect. “How could it be that the robber is still alive? Lord Slabey declared the robber’s death, didn’t he?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s incredulous that even the terrifying Heavenly Thunder was unable to make a mark on him!” “We did join Eclipse to Dragon’s Grave Valley to kill the robber. Would we still be spared if he were to find out that we were a part of it?”

“I suggest we give up on the sect and momentarily avoid the limelight!” The words spoken were laced with terror as everyone in the meeting hall was on edge.

There were numerous smaller sects, including Wind Blade Sect, which teamed up with Eclipse Sect to kill Levi at Dragon’s Grave Valley.

These smaller sects were relatively weak and were worried that Levi would go after them after he found out about the details.

Everyone was only concerned about their safety at that moment and could only turn to one another for solace. Those who were timid chose to leave their sects and go into hiding out in the woods in order to stay out of the fray.

Meanwhile, in Void Sect, the faces of Geraint, Primo, and the others, too, were filled with shock. “How is it possible that the robber managed to walk out of Dragon’s Grave Valley alive?”

“Not only did he walk out alive, he even managed to acquire the premium ultimate weapons and boost his strength!” “This is unbelievable. We’re screwed this time.”

“We’ll not be the only ones.” Primo sighed. “I believe that even Eclipse is in deep trouble.” The others present were also wearing grave expressions.

The Void Sect members were beyond devastated as they had hoped Gloria becoming Empyrean of Eclipse would help Void Sect flourish.

However, not only did they fail to achieve great success, but they even suffered unexpected disasters. They found it difficult to accept the stark differences between the two scenarios.

Geraint furrowed his brows as he spoke solemnly. “If worse comes to worst, we should join forces with Eclipse. It is not the time for us to stubbornly withhold our pride.”

Yet, Primo could only shake his head before starting bitterly, “We don’t even have any news regarding Gloria until now. Eclipse might not even want to accept our cry for help!”

The others could only shake their heads and sigh upon hearing Primo’s words. A strong sense of crisis was deeply ingrained in each of them.

In the meantime, Walden was enraged at the headquarters of Eclipse. Shards of broken cups were seen scattered around the floor of the main hall.

The council members of Eclipse were holding their breaths, each of their expressions darker than the other.

“Impossible! How is this possible? Does that b*stard have a body made of impenetrable steel?” Walden cried out.

He could not comprehend how Levi managed to survive the deadly attacks of Heavenly Thunder.

“Say something! Who can tell me why this is happening?” Walden continued as the veins on his forehead bulged, a clear sign that he was progressively becoming more agitated with each passing second.

Just then, someone piped in, “We should quickly gather the elites who are training abroad to stand by in case the robber comes for revenge, Lord Slabey.”

“Other than that, we’ll also need to activate Sect Protection Formation. And if necessary, we should ask some elders for assistance.”

“We must also find the Empyrean as soon as possible. She’s the only surviving fighter. Thus, she might know some insight regarding the robber,” someone suggested.

“That’s right. A thorough understanding of the robber’s situation would definitely aid us. Although the robber has exceptional strength, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have any chance of winning.”

Realizing how critical the situation was, everyone began giving suggestions and devising plans.

However, as a large sect with a deep foundation, activating Sect Protection Formation might give them an upper hand. Therefore, they might not end up in defeat.

Walden’s expression was grim, but he had finally regained control of his surging emotions.

In his defense, his earlier outburst was fueled by feelings of humiliation.

He did, after all, announce the robber’s definite death in front of the members of hundreds of sects. But in the end, reality hit him square in the face.
