Chapter 419: The Six Great Families, Rules of the Hall of Swords
Sean did not have much interest in becoming the owner of the Hall of Swords. He was forced into this position by Aunt Sandals! Furthermore, Ernest Mason and others were different from Pupil Wolf and the rest. All the Bloody Wolf Group members were brothers of life and death with Sean, bound by life-or-death loyalty. On the other hand, the members of the Hall of Swords led by Ernest Mason were all leaders of the major families in Swordland, each with their own agendas and self-interest being the priority. Even though they were now kneeling before Sean, respectfully addressing him as “Master Mason”, Sean was very clear that they were only doing so out of helplessness and self-preservation.
Their hearts were unwilling! Their emotions reluctant! How could there be any cohesion?
Therefore, Sean looked down at them and said in a deep voice, “Whether to join the Hall of Swords is entirely up to you. I can give you one chance, and only one chance, to choose again. Those who do not wish to join, take your clan members and leave. I will absolutely not pursue you!”
“Otherwise!”
“If you choose to stay and join the Hall of Swords, then you must strictly abide by the rules of the Hall of Swords!”
“Oppressors of the common people, kill!”
“Those who defy orders, kill!”
“Internal strife-makers, kill!”
“Two-faced traitors, kill!”
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!… Sean uttered four iron laws in one breath, which were also the most basic requirements for Ernest Mason and the others. Violators would be punished without mercy!
There was no other way. Weren’t Ernest Mason and the others forced by helplessness? Didn’t they want self-preservation? Since they knelt down and surrendered to Sean and Spring out of fear of their powerful strength, Sean decided to go all out to intimidate them with his own formidable power!
The Bloody Wolf Group members would never betray or want to betray, but the Hall of Swords members, Sean had to make it so they could not betray, did not dare to betray!
“This…” Hearing Sean’s words, Ernest Mason and the others were shocked and terrified, kneeling at Sean’s feet. They secretly glanced at each other, exchanging looks, obviously somewhat hesitant!
After a while, one of the Complete Stage elders took the lead: “I am willing to join the Hall of Swords and pledge my loyalty to Master Mason. If I have any treacherous thoughts, I will die without regret!”
“I am also willing to join!”
“Me too!”
Immediately after, several other old fellows also expressed their loyalty to Sean!
After all, King Ron was now dead. Although King Roscoe had inherited the throne, his strength was still weak and far from enough to control the world. As for Sean and Spring, in the eyes of these old fellows, they were at least close to the Bright Realm masters. Looking across the entire Shirine Empire, there probably weren’t any existences more powerful than the two of them!
Now, the two top masters Sean and Spring had joined forces. With such thick thighs in front of them, how could they not hug them?
However, there were exceptions!
Just as five of the old fellows swore allegiance to Sean, the other two stood up at the same time and said in unison, “I quit!”
“I quit!”
Having said that, they turned and left!
Sean’s words were resolute. He had said he would not pursue them, so naturally he would not make things difficult for them.
Watching the two leave Hill of Swords with their clansmen, the only ones who had not spoken, Ernest Mason and Trevor Mason, looked at each other, caught in a huge dilemma!
To join? To withdraw? The two choices flashed rapidly in their minds, tangled and struggling, until Sean and Spring walked up the path. Only then did Ernest Mason grit his teeth, steel his heart, and call out to Sean and Spring’s backs in a loud voice, “Master Mason! Saint Marie! I, Ernest Mason, on behalf of the Mason family of Swordland, am willing to join the Hall of Swords!”
“From now on!”
“I only obey Master Mason’s orders. If I dare to have the slightest rebellious thought, I will die without regret!!!”
His voice was loud and firm. To make such a decision in such a short time was obviously not easy for Ernest Mason. After all, unlike the other major families, the Mason family was the most prominent among the ten families of Swordland. Even without joining the Hall of Swords, they could still occupy a place in Swordland and have a decent future!
“Is that so?” Sean did not stop his pace or even glance back at Ernest Mason. His tone was indifferent as he casually said, “If you want to join, then join.”
“Remember what I just said. There will be great rewards for achievements, and severe punishments for offenses!”
“Also!”
“You want to know the secrets inside Hill of Swords, don’t you? Based on your contributions to the Hall of Swords, I will consider allowing some of you to enter the interior of Hill of Swords later and receive the grace of the gods…”
After saying this, Sean and Spring had already disappeared onto the path, only Sean’s voice rumbled continuously like thunder in midair, lingering for a long time.
The interior of Hill of Swords!
The grace of the gods!
Sean’s words made Ernest Mason and the others’ hearts pound violently, because Sean’s words confirmed their previous guess that there must be another world inside Hill of Swords.
The cave of Hill of Swords was only a hundred meters deep, yet the spiritual energy inside was already so abundant, greatly beneficial for cultivation and practice. Then how rich would the spiritual energy be in the interior of Hill of Swords?
If they could cultivate inside Hill of Swords and obtain the grace of the gods, would they also have a chance to break through the shackles of the Complete Stage like Sean and Spring and touch the legendary Emperor Realm?
This was the benefit Sean gave them!
Using powerful strength to deter them, using huge temptations to attract them!
This was Sean’s ability!
However, the two old fellows who chose to quit the Hall of Swords had just left Hill of Swords with their clansmen when they heard Sean’s thunder-like voice echoing through the air, grating their eardrums. They stopped abruptly and looked at each other, their faces instantly turning black as the bottom of a pot.
Damn! There’s still something this good? Why didn’t you mention it earlier…
…
At that time, time slipped through one’s fingers. Sean, Sandals and Spring had been gone for nearly half an hour but still had not returned, leaving those white-clad women in the Peach Blossom Spring anxious.
Finally, just as they could no longer endure and were about to go out to take a look, with a splash, three figures burst through the waterfall and suddenly appeared before their eyes. It was Sean, Sandals and Spring who had returned!
“You’re back!”
“Look!”
“Marie and the others are back!!!”
In an instant, everyone was excited and rushed over eagerly to welcome them, while Tim Lewis and the others sat there motionless, looking complacent, thinking to themselves: Look at how anxiously these young ladies are kowtowing and apologizing, how enthusiastic they are!
“Marie!”
“What’s the situation? Did that scoundrel King Ron die?”
“Was he lying?”
As soon as Sean, Sandals and Spring landed, dozens of white-clad women surrounded them, babbling questions.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“He died!” Spring looked at Sean, then nodded and gritted her teeth, “Just a few days ago, in the battle at the imperial capital, that scoundrel King Ron did indeed die already. This news has spread widely in the outside world!”
“Moreover!”
“Just as Master said, that scoundrel was indeed killed by Master and his wife Cecilia. Miss Moore was gravely injured and fell unconscious trying to slay that scoundrel, and still hasn’t woken up…”
Next, Spring spent about ten minutes reiterating everything Ernest Mason had told her earlier to those dozens of white-clad women.
They listened quietly, and like Spring’s earlier reaction, as they listened, hot tears involuntarily streamed down those beautiful, flower-like faces!
Tears flowed like rain! And when Spring finished, without Sean having to remind them, they immediately knelt down deeply before Sean one by one, resolutely fulfilling their previous oath, willing to admit defeat and submit.
In three layers on the inside, three layers on the outside, they knelt in a large area surrounding Sean, shouting in unison, “From now on, we are willing to take Mr. Mason as our master! We will only obey Master’s orders!!!”
