Chapter 1280: Chapter 117: Black Iron Exploding Arrow_5
"Hmph, if it was just a few people dying, do you think I would care? Your reckless actions, without completely annihilating the enemy, have caused the secrets of our sect to leak, leading to severe consequences. Now the people from the cathedral are marching towards the Tian Yuan Clan’s territory, aiming to utterly destroy your Dark Demon Clan. Hmph, your clansmen are about to be destroyed by your own hands."
Green King was greatly shocked, losing his voice he said: "What? The cathedral, how could they know about this?"
Sect Hierarch snorted coldly and said, "No matter how the cathedral came to know of this, your mistake is unforgivable. Our grand plan of ruling the continent has been threatened because of your stupidity. You are also a sinner of the Dark Demon Clan. If when the Dark Demon God awakens from his slumber, he finds his descendants destroyed because of you, what fate do you think awaits you?"
Green King’s body trembled continuously, unable to speak the words he had prepared. With a thud, he knelt down on the ground and pleaded, "Sect Hierarch, please save my clansmen."
The indifferent voice disappeared, and the cave fell back into silence. Only the body of Green King kept trembling. The sinister Wraith Fire flickered softly; the person enveloped in black known as Sect Hierarch seemed to be pondering something.
After a long while, the voice of the Sect Hierarch resounded again, "Although we are not fully prepared, this is a good opportunity to strike the cathedral. According to the information our people have gathered, the cathedral has resolved to destroy the remaining Dark Witchers, dispatching Judgment Chief, two Red Robe Priests, six White Robe Priests, and thousands of Sacred Knights. Their strength is immense, but they are exposed while we remain hidden. They know only of the Dark Witchers, but not of our existence. This is our greatest advantage; hence, we must completely annihilate the enemy, making the cathedral aware of our power, and severely weaken their forces to lay the foundation for our future actions. Twelve Kings of Heaven, hear my command."
"Yes—" Including Green King, twelve modulated voices rose in unison.
"Our sect, through years of efforts in the darkness, has reached today’s situation, and even the cathedral may not necessarily have the capability to defeat us. Hence, our goal this time is to let not a single one escape. Green King, this is your last chance to redeem yourself through meritorious deeds. If there are any further mishaps, I will take your soul, waiting for the Dark Demon God to deal with you."
"I will undoubtedly exhaust all efforts, letting none of the incoming enemies escape."
"Good, this matter will be handled by you Twelve Kings of Heaven independently. I permit you to use all the forces at your disposal. After years of accumulation, I want to see what level you have reached; do not disappoint me. You must always remember that every action you take now is striving towards enveloping the land in darkness, and our great God of Netherworld will remember all your deeds. This operation will be led by Moon King. Others must follow unconditionally, and if anyone harbors selfish intentions, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Moon King, I trust your wisdom can completely trap them in a deadlock."
A sultry female voice responded, "Yes, Sect Hierarch, not a single one will be spared."
"Go now. After completing the mission, retreat immediately to headquarters. The cathedral, having lost many hands, will surely seek revenge. Within half a year, do not step out of headquarters lightly. Even if they search the whole continent, they will probably fail to find your trace." The Sect Hierarch casually waved, and the Wraith Fire before him suddenly flared intensely, then with a poof, the light disappeared, plunging the cave into a deep silence.
