Chapter 403 Sword of God, Sean’s Ambition
Everyone followed behind Sean!
Tim Lewis and Spirit Wolf, Shadow Wolf and the others were fine, having long been used to Sean’s might. But Howard Taylor and Karen Smith, looking at Sean’s majestic figure, were still in a state of intense excitement!
Especially those younger generation of the Taylor family and the descendants of the Smith family!
The quotas for the Hill of Swords Caves were extremely precious. They had never imagined that they would have the chance to ascend the Hill of Swords and enter the caves until the moment they followed Sean onto the path. They still had a feeling as if they were in a dream!
It really was…
Like a dream!
“This…”
“We’re going up just like that?”
“The Hill of Swords has eighty-one caves, and they only have thirty-some people. Even if each person takes two caves, they still can’t use them all up. The annual ritual is a rare opportunity. Hoarding the toilets without shitting, isn’t that too much??”
“Damn!”
“Might makes right!!!”
In the vast crowd, countless eyes were fixed closely on the backs of Sean and the others, gazing longingly. Discussions kept arising incessantly from the crowd. The smaller families and commoners of Swordland were worried that earlier, Ernest Mason had promised verbally that he would give them the quotas for the first and second floors of the Hill of Swords Caves, totaling eighteen slots. But now, control over the Hill of Swords Caves had fallen into Sean’s hands. So would Ernest Mason’s previous promise still count? Would it still be valid? Could they still get their quotas?
It must be known!
Many of the smaller families in Swordland had already rushed to sign up, waiting expectantly to go through selection. But now things had suddenly changed, the Hill of Swords having a new owner in the blink of an eye. This was undoubtedly like having a basin of cold water poured over their heads!
Those outsider forces were even more miserable!
Damn! They had brought practitioners from their families, some had already obtained quotas by making deals privately with the major families of Swordland, while others were prepared to go on stage to challenge!
But now! All for naught!!!
“Everyone, do not worry!”
Although separated by dozens of meters, the resentful voices carried like surging waves, truly too loud. Sean, who had ascended the path, naturally heard everything clearly. Thus, when he reached the third layer of the path, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Looking down at the vast crowd below the Hill of Swords, he shouted:
“I believe everyone has seen and heard that Mr. Mason has handed control over this Hill of Swords ritual to me, according to his earlier words, after I defeated the top ten families of Swordland!”
“However!”
“I understand everyone’s feelings. The Hill of Swords quotas are hard-earned and greatly beneficial for cultivation. Such a good opportunity naturally cannot be missed!”
“Therefore!”
“I have decided!”
“To divide the eighty-one quotas of the nine floors of Hill of Swords into three parts. The first and second floors will go to the smaller families and commoners of Swordland, according to Mr. Mason’s earlier words!”
“The third, fourth, and fifth floors will go to those from the major families who have traveled far!”
“As for the quotas from the fifth floor up, I will take them!”
“Consider it my way of making friends with everyone. As for the specifics of the distribution, I will have to trouble Mr. Mason to work hard on that. My apologies for the extra effort!”
Sean’s voice, amplified by the Bright Energy, was like rolls of thunder, penetrating the vast crowd!
Deafening!
After speaking, Sean did not wait for responses from the huge crowd or Ernest Mason and the others. He turned around and continued up the path!
In an instant! Everyone was shocked speechless by Sean’s words!
Eyes wide and mouths agape!
Amidst the shock, the smaller families and commoners of Swordland kept the quotas for the first and second floors, naturally overjoyed. The various outsider forces could now share all twenty-seven quotas of the third, fourth and fifth floors, an unexpected joy. The mood of every person was invigorated!
At this time, the gaze of those countless eyes in the vast crowd looking at Sean had also completely changed. From resentment and anger a moment ago, in the blink of an eye it had changed to gratitude and being moved to tears!
However! On the gray arena, Ernest Mason and the others reacted in precisely the opposite way. They had just been beaten half to death by Sean, and had barely struggled to their feet. Upon hearing Sean’s arrangements, their legs went soft and they nearly fell over on the arena again!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
The Hill of Swords only had nine floors total. Sean and his people monopolized the top four floors. That was fine. He gave the middle third floor to the outsider forces, and the bottom two floors to the smaller families and commoners of Swordland. So what about them, the top ten families of Hall of Swords?
Did they not get a single quota?
So all their planning over years, busily working over days, in the end got them nothing. They took a beating, lost some people, and didn’t gain any benefits at all???
Most vexing of all, with a word Sean casually gave away so many quotas all at once, becoming a big hero and good person in the eyes of the huge crowd. Yet he wanted to play the role of an absentee landlord, pushing the ungrateful job of distributing quotas to Ernest Mason and the others???
You tell me!
You say!
Isn’t he going too far?
Does he have no shame?
I ask you, does he still have any shame?
Including Ernest Mason, those old fellows on the arena were gnashing their teeth as they glared at Sean on the path, having the urge to curse loudly.
Yet they didn’t dare to. That feeling of being wronged and humiliated was like having a full bladder about to burst…
…
On the other side!
Sean’s group, plus the people from Taylor family and Smith family, totaled over thirty people. The thirty-six caves on the top fourth floor were already enough for their use. Giving the excess quotas to others was no hindrance!
“Boss!”
After about half an hour, Sean and the others had walked along the path to the sixth floor. Among the three sides, Taylor family was the weakest. Thus, the younger generation of Taylor family successively entered the caves on the sixth floor!
The Hill of Swords was truly too big!
The distance between every two caves was several hundred meters!
The sixth floor!
Although slightly inferior compared to the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors above, Howard Taylor and the Taylor family younger generation were already very satisfied!
After all! Of Taylor family’s previous five quotas, the highest had been only the seventh floor, and there was just one!
“This Hill of Swords…”
“Seems a bit strange!!!”
After following some Taylor family members into a cave on the sixth floor and experiencing it for a bit, Spirit Wolf immediately caught up to Sean as soon as he came out. His expression was very grave as he said: “The caves of Hill of Swords are about a hundred meters deep. In the depths of the caves, it seems…”
“How to put it!”
“It’s as if there is an invisible attractive force emanating from within the Hill of Swords, like iron stones encountering a magnet, wanting to suck people in!!!”
Previously! Spirit Wolf had come to Swordland once with his grandfather, and relying on his grandfather’s favor with the Taylor family, he obtained one of the slots and activated his bloodline in the caves of Hill of Swords!
At that time! Spirit Wolf entered one of the caves in the sixth layer of Hill of Swords!
However! In Spirit Wolf’s impression, there was no such bizarre and unpredictable attraction at that time!
So! Spirit Wolf felt something was not right!
“Don’t panic!”
“Haha!”
Hearing Spirit Wolf’s words, before Sean could speak, Howard Taylor also quickened his pace and came over to explain: “The kind of attraction you mentioned has always existed!”
“And!”
“The higher the cultivation level, the stronger this feeling will be!”
“According to the elders, this situation is caused by the aura in Hill of Swords being too abundant, or it could be said, it is caused by the existence of the divine sword!”
“Just because of this!”
“Our ancestors have only dug one more meter deeper into Hill of Swords each time, not daring to dig too deep!”
“Too deep!”
“Even Complete Stage cultivators would not be able to withstand that tremendous attraction!”
Saying that!
Howard Taylor looked at Spirit Wolf and said again: “When you first came to Hill of Swords to activate your bloodline, you were just an ordinary person without dark energy, let alone cultivation, so naturally you couldn’t feel the existence of that attraction!”
“But now!”
“You have already become a mid-stage dark energy cultivator. Coming to Hill of Swords again and feeling its existence is not surprising!”
After saying this!
Howard Taylor’s explanation was very thorough!
“That’s how it is…”
Spirit Wolf was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, “Does that mean this kind of attraction only works on those with dark energy?”
“That’s right!”
Howard Taylor nodded!
Hearing Howard Taylor’s explanation, Sean didn’t give his opinion. As Howard Taylor said, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the attraction one would feel!
Therefore! As a genuine Bright Realm powerhouse, from the moment Sean stepped onto Hill of Swords, even when walking on the passages outside the caves, he could clearly feel that bizarre attraction coming from within Hill of Swords!
All the way!
Although Sean didn’t say a word, he was constantly cursing in his heart: “According to ancient legends, when the gods descended to the mortal realm, they left behind a divine sword, which formed this huge Hill of Swords!”
“So!”
“If that mysterious and powerful attraction really originated from the divine sword within Hill of Swords, doesn’t it mean the various legends about Hill of Swords are credible?”
“Inside Hill of Swords!”
“It’s very likely that a divine sword left by the gods to bless the world is really buried here!!!”
Divine sword!
Divine sword!
Damn!
Just hearing this name is f*cking awesome! Daring to be called ‘divine’, it must be extraordinary. Forget about entering the caves, if we could delve deeper into Hill of Swords and take out that legendary divine sword…C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil with excitement!
Previously! At the final moment of the battle in the imperial city, when King Ron was on the verge of death, he chose to self-destruct his core and physical body. At that time, Sean’s Wolf’s Massacre was stabbed into King Ron’s body, and King Ron’s Sword of Emperor was stabbed into Cecilia’s body!
Wolf’s Massacre and Sword of Emperor were both made of Snowy Mountain cold iron, so dark energy could not damage them at all, but Bright Energy could, not to mention it was the final self-destruction of a Bright Realm powerhouse like King Ron?
Without surprises!
Wolf’s Massacre and Sword of Emperor were all destroyed in King Ron’s final self-destruction, vanishing along with King Ron’s body.
So!
Now! Having lost Wolf’s Massacre, Sean no longer has a handy divine weapon!
“Maybe!”
“We could try and see if we can take out that divine sword!!!”
“Sword of God!”
“Must be more powerful than Sword of Emperor, right???”
Thinking this!
Unknowingly, Sean had already reached the ninth layer of Hill of Swords, with only a few hundred meters of vertical distance left to the summit!!!
