Chapter 664: The fall of the three big sects in Elon

When the last light disappeared over the horizon, darkness enveloped the world. Everything beneath the dark sky was blanketed by puffy snow. The howling wind breezed through the trees. Falling snow embraced the trees with its cold embrace, turning the green trees white. Except for a few torches to illuminate the snow-covered paths, the rest of the city of Rosegate slept in darkness. Rosegate was one of the four duchies in Kingdom Kethen and also the only kingdom that didn't participate in the recent war between Icefair, Pen Town, and Flamefair.

Almost everyone in Rosegate was sleeping peacefully inside their homes except for the three sect leaders. They held a meeting inside a brightly lit room. Everyone sat around an oak table, taking sips out of the golden chalices. One of them was Sadie Kaplan. She accompanied the Sect Leader of SilverMoon, Ursula Colt. She was the prettiest woman in the room. Even Sadie paled in comparison in terms of beauty. Ursula let her silvery hair free and wore enchanting blue robes which showed her deep cleavage. The other two sect leaders were men. One of them was Lancelot Morningstar, the sect leader of the Morningstar. Lancelot was a fairly built man with striking golden hair. His neatly combed hair was tied into a ponytail and the stubble beard gave him a certain charm with the ladies. The one who sat next to him was Garret Eyer, the sect leader of GoldenValley. Unlike Lancelot, Garret was a big bulky man with a bushy beard. Despite the cold weather, Garret was dressed in a vest, leaving his big arms exposed to the coldness, and leather pants,

At the moment, they all shared the same concerned look.

"Are we going to sit here all day and stare at each other or come up with some plan?" asked Lancelot.

"We definitely cannot destroy them. Not with all their alliances and connections," said Garret. Contrary to what someone would expect from a big bulky man like Garret, he was surprisingly calm and collected. Simply put, Garret was brawn with brains. That was what made him one of the most dangerous men in the Elon Continent.

"It's only a matter of time before they make an attempt to take over our sects. How many sects they had already swallowed? Ten? Twenty?"

"Fifteen to be exact," said Ursula. It was an enormous number. In a short period of time, the Sunrise sect had gone from a declined sect to one of the most powerful sects in Elon. The flag bearer of the takeovers, Ella was an unstoppable force when it came to pursuing sect leaders to join the Sunrise sect. At first, the three big sects didn't mind the Sunrise sect taking over a few declined sects. They thought it was a lost cause since those sects were on the brink of closing down. However, as time passed, the Sunrise sect made unrefusable offers to the sects that were running without any problems. One by one, they took over all the sects in Bredia, Dradel, and most of the sects in Kethen. In the sheer number of disciples, they were getting close to each of the three big sects.

"My little birds told me Ella and Claire are eyeing for the sects in the Royal Land," said Ursula. Hearing them bitch about the growth of the Sunrise sect made Sadie proud of her friend, Ghost. He joined the sect with nothing and built it from the ground up to challenge the three big sects themselves. Of course, Claire, the elders, and Ella played a big role in the rise but Ghost was the one who started everything.

"There is only one thing we can do at this point, make counteroffers to those sects. In other words, we take over sects before the Sunrise sect could," said Garret.

"No," Lancelot banged the table with his fist.

"I wouldn't let those street dogs step into my sect and spoil the great name of Morningstar," gnarled Lancelot. Among the three big sects, Morningstar had the most intense recruiting process. Even if someone had heaven-defying talent, if they were not from a noble background, the odds of their placement in Morningstar would be next to nothing. The Morningstar sect handpicked noble talents.

But now, even the nobles were considering joining the Sunrise sect due to the abundance of cultivation resources available in the sect. Moreover, the Sunrise sect had the best mentors to guide the youngsters in their cultivation. Once again, Ghost's pills and potions played a huge role in producing talents left and right.

"We could have used King Bredia to destroy the sect because of his enmity with Ghost. But after what Ghost did at his daughter's engagement gala, I don't think King Bredia would even breathe in Ghost's direction," said Garret.

"Do we even have a plan or are we just here to bitch about their growth?"

"It's you two who's in trouble. My Sadie here is a good friend of Ghost. So as long as Ghost lives, SilverMoon is safe from the takeovers," Ursula grinned, taking a small sip of wine from the chalice.

Garret and Lancelot looked at Sadie for a moment,

"Sadie dear," Ursula turned her gaze to Sadie,

"What's your thought about all this?' Ursula asked Sadie.

"If you ask me, I'd say leave them be. There's no use in kicking a hornet's nest," said Sadie. The trio was surprised by her answer.

"I don't see any harm in turning the three big sects into four big sects. Now we are all bitching on an assumption the Sunrise sect will try to take over our sects. Even if they did try, just refuse their offer. It's that simple," said Sadie.

"Pretty girl, it's not that simple," Lancelot gritted his teeth. He always thought SilverMoon and the girls were beneath them. Only because they were big and influential enough to rival Morningstar, he tolerated their existence.

"Power is an addiction and that bitch Claire and Ella are way deep in it. They wouldn't stop until there were no other sects in Elon than the Sunrise sect. If you don't believe me, my spies with Ella told me she was indeed talking with some of the elders in my sect. The moment I return to the sect, have to make an example out of these traitors," snickered Lancelot.

"So they had already begun the takeover of our sects,' Garret sighed.

"It's not that I don't believe your spies but if what they said was true, we have a reason to wage war against them. They might be powerful but they cannot win against the three of us combined," said Ursula.

"Lancelot," Garret turned his gaze to Lancelot.

"Don't kill the elders. Make them record their shady deals with Ella in a recording stone. We use that as leverage to ask Claire's hand in marriage for someone worse. We force Claire to kill him. Use that as an excuse to wage a war against them. It's a classic way that works every single time," chuckled Garret.

Sadie sighed inwards, almost feeling pity for these fools. Although Sadie seemed to be in cahoots with Ursula, Sadie hated Ursula to the core. She had turned the SilverMoon into a whole house. The entire continent called the SilverMoon girls bitches due to their cultivation style and the task they performed under the order of Ursula.

She picked up poor little girls and turned them into harlots when they came of age. With the Dark Lord's help, Sadie could finally take the SilverMoon in a different direction. For that to happen, Ursula had to die first.

"Lady Kaplan, it's time," Suddenly, Sadie heard Azazel's voice in her head. Her heartbeat slowly increased. Taking a deep breath, Sadie put her hands under the table and took out a vial of the molten plague from her space ring. She released the vapor into the air. Unknown to the three sect leaders, they began to breathe in the poisonous air.

"I have an infamous man whore in the sect. It's time he gets a chance to settle in life," Lancelot chuckled devilishly.

"To a bad marriage," Ursula raised her chalice for a toast. But when raised her chalice, she coughed. Following her, Garret also coughed violently.

"What the fuck?" Lancelot growled but he too fell victim to the violent cough.

They were confused. Suddenly, the bright chandelier flickered.

"Flower barrier,"

To their shock, Sadie waved her hand, casting a spell around them. In a blink of an eye, a wall made of flowers appeared around them, trapping them inside.

"Sadie," Ursula growled. Her eyes turned bloodshot. It was obvious to them that Sadie had poisoned them somehow. Because she was the only one who remained without coughing.

Garret quickly reached out for the battle ax behind him as Lancelot tried to cast a counterspell. To Lancelot's shock, he couldn't feel the Celestial energy around him.

While the chandelier was flickering, Ursula saw a figure coming through the blue flower wall around them. The flowers turned black and crumbled to ashes when the figure touched the wall.

The moment they saw the figure, their eyes went wide. Fear clutched their hearts tightly. At this moment in time, not a single one remained without knowing the name the Dark Lord or Lucifer. His black robes, the dark clouds around him, and the flickering lights were dead giveaways.

"Dark Lord," Ursula mumbled. She crawled backward in utter fear. Unlike the trio, Sadie was nonchalant. She just took a step back, letting the Dark Lord handle them.

Garret finally managed to grab the battle axe. He was about to swing the axe at the Dark Lord when two black beams shot out of the Dark Lord's eyes, penetrating straight through Garret's head. The battle axe fell from his hand with a loud thud, followed by his lifeless corpse. Lancelot was in shock. But before he could do anything, the Dark Lord turned his gaze toward him as the dark beams cut Lancelot's head clean off of his shoulder. Blood spurted out from his neck, painting the table red.

"Sadie…Sadie…help me…" Ursula lost all the courage to fight as a result of the fear toxin. She grabbed Sadie's leg, begging for her help.

"Go to hell, bitch," Sadie grabbed Ursula by her hair and threw her to the Dark Lord.

Sadie saw the Dark Lord cup Ursula's face. Ursula struggled frantically. However, her struggle only lasted for a few seconds as the Dark Lord fired the dark beams straight through Ursula's head. The beams went through Ursula's eyes, forming two big holes in her head.

The trio survived almost a hundred years in the world. But their light of life was snuffed out by the Dark Lord in a few seconds.

"From tomorrow, the SilverMoon sect is yours," said the Dark Lord to Sadie.
