Chapter 897 Betrayal


    Well, it wasn’t all of them. The individual from Origin Sword Sect who was in the middle- phase of


    Golden Elixir Stage didn’t support Rodney.


    At that time, he was preupied with restraining Ss, truly unaware of what had transpired within the


    depths of the dense forest.


    So, at that moment, he was also quite bewildered.


    At that moment, in front of Sword King Hall, Rodney cleared his throat. His voice, aged yet still


    resonant, rang out. “Before Heavenly Sword King departed, he left a decree. The one who inherits his


    legacy will be the new sect leader of Sword King Sect!”


    Before, Emrys had never considered reconstructing Sword King Sect, nor had he ever thought of


    bing the sect leader of Sword King Sect.


    He was very busy and didn’t have any time.


    However, it was definitely not because of ack of ability.


    Regardless, Emrys had been wronged this time. His strength had suddenly recovered, and his mood


    had unexpectedly improved. He decided to return and settle scores with Devon and Caden. He simply


    took over the position of the leader of the three sects.


    Even after taking over, even if he were to be a hands–off boss, he still had to do so. Not for anything


    else, but simply to prevent Devon and Caden from being toofortable.


    Revenge could be takenter, but one would argue that it had to be taken as soon as possible.


    At this moment, Rodney’s voice still echoed on. “Heavenly Sword King had decreed that the one who


    inherits his legacy would be the new leader of Sword King Sect. And the man standing before us.


    Tigger, is the chosen sessor recognized by Heavenly Sword King himself. That means Tigger is to


    be our new sect leader. Who’s in favor? Who’s against it? Those with objections, feel free to voice


    your concerns immediately. We, the elders of bath Spirit Sword Sect and Origin Sword Sect, will


    certainly listen to your dissenting opinions in full. However, we may not necessarily adopt them.”


    Why bother voicing objections if they’re not even going to be considered? We have strong reasons to


    suspect that you are merely creating a cklist, waiting for the new leader to take over, to use against


    us and establish your dominance. Who would dare to voice an objection? It’s not like we’re crazy!


    Countless mentees of the sword sects fell eerily silent.


    “Mr. Warde, I have a concern.”


    At that moment, someone began to speak. Everyone turned toward the sound, only to find, to their


    great surprise, that it was Ruben who had spoken.

    Everyone was puzzled. Hasn’t Ruben always been looking after Sword King’s inheritor? He even


    pressed his full support for the inheritor to take over as the new sect leader. So why, at this point, does


    Aurve objections? Could it be that everything about him before was just a pretense? He merely voiced


    his gratitude to Heavenly Sword King, but in reality, he was far from willing to relinquish his position.


    Ruben slowly approached Sword King Hall, a smile ying on his lips. “Mr. Warde, I believe there’s a


    slight correction needed in your statement. It’s not just the elders of Spirit Sword Sect and Origin Sword


    Sect, but also our own Soul Sword Sect. You seem to have overlooked.


    Us…


    After some thought, he corrected himself again by saying, “To be precise, it’s the unanimous. decision


    of Sword King Sect’s new Council of Elders to support Tigger as the new leader of Sword King Sect.”


    Although Ruben was unsure how Rodney had managed to persuade the elders of Spirit Sword Sect


    and Origin Sword Sect to support Emrys, he was still ted.

    He didn’t mind announcing in front of everyone that he was stepping down from his position as the


    head of Soul Sword Sect. He was content to simply serve as an ordinary elder.


    As long as Sword King Sect was restored, nothing else mattered.


    As soon as Ruben’s words were spoken, a wave of astonishment swept over the countless mentees of


    the sword sects. Some were excited, some were puzzled, and some were shocked.


    Aside from Rodney and a few others, no one knew exactly what had transpired. Just the day before,


    the Three Sword Sects were at odds with each other. Yet, they were suddenly talking about merging.


    It felt just like a dream to most people present.


    his


    With a smile that didn’t quite reaches, Ruben looked toward the two individuals in a certain direction


    and asked, “What do you two think?”


    He looked toward the individuals, who were none other than Caden and Devon.


    At that moment, their faces were incredibly unsightly, as if they had eaten something utterly disgusting.


    Indeed, it was beyond their wildest dreams, such an unexpected scene had unfolded. Even the elders


    of their own sect, surprisingly, had stepped forward to support Emrys.
