“I will definitely keep it in mind, and tomorrow morning, our entire sect will leave, never to set foot in this Land without Masters again. As for the resources within the sect, we will send someone with a list for you to check.”

Men Cangsheng stood up, leading his people away, his clenched fist loosened, and there was no trace of fighting intent left. Facing such an unbeatable enemy, it was meaningless to have great emotions. It was better to recognize the situation and at least save the lives of his sect’s members instead of risking being killed.

As a Sect Leader, he was incompetent, but at least he hadn’t caused the demise of the entire sect. One day in the future, if one or two Dominator Realm practitioners emerged from the sect, perhaps that would be the time for revenge.

Watching Men Cangsheng’s retreating figure, Ba Ke Yun couldn’t help but feel curious, “Do you think Men Cangsheng will keep his promise? I find it a bit doubtful, once he returns he might secretly plan, such as suddenly going back on his word or the like. They have been acting mighty here for decades, and it will be difficult for anyone to leave after just hearing a request.”

Ba Ke Yun thought there was deception involved. Men Cangsheng agreed too easily, to the point of being impractical. With more than a thousand people in the Kuang Quan Sect, even if Men Cangsheng wanted to leave, it would be challenging to convince everyone. At least those thousand people had not yet witnessed their own strength and could not develop a sense of fear.

“Men Cangsheng is a smart man. After returning, he will definitely disband the sect, but as for leaving all the resources behind, that’s just empty talk. They will certainly hide more than half of their resources overnight and only leave half.”

Logan didn’t care, and he didn’t mind, “Anyway, the result is good. If they are willing to leave half, after all, resources are too important for cultivators. If we demand them to hand over everything, they will definitely fight to the death.”

“Alright, even half will do. Anyway, we don’t need all of it. When the time comes, we can leave everything to the residents of the canyon so that they can find a living in other territories without having to wait for death in this barren land.”

Ba Ke Yun nodded. Their goal had been achieved, so they quietly waited for news from Men Cangsheng’s side. Of course, if he persisted in his delusion, they would not step back and could only resort to bloodshed.

On the other hand, Men Cangsheng had returned to the sect and immediately found a secret room to heal his injuries. He also took a healing Elixir, and after two hours, he was finally fully recovered.

Then, he immediately gathered all the members of the sect to discuss the matter of disbanding. After all, with more than a thousand people in the sect, if they wanted to leave within a day, proper planning had to be done. Moreover, they had to decide where to go after leaving the Land without Masters, and which lord of the surrounding area would be easier to get along with.

Hearing about disbanding, an Elder couldn’t help but stand up, “Sect Leader, we mustn’t disband! We have been working hard here for hundreds of years, and leaving just like that is unfair to us. More than a thousand of us in the sect joined forces, and they wouldn’t dare to do anything to us!”

“Sect Leader, we are used to being powerful here. If we leave, where else can we find a place to settle? The neighboring lords seem happy but are secretly wary of us. No matter where we go, we will end up being at someone’s mercy.”

“I also have the same opinion. We can fight, at a great cost, by setting up a great protective array for our sect. We can spend resources to bribe the surrounding lords and send a few Throne-level practitioners to come to support us. As long as we can hold on for a month, a storm in this Land without Masters will come.”

Sect Leader, please think twice. The enemy is too oppressive, perhaps even with someone’s instigation behind them. It would be better to raise a commotion about this matter so that the surrounding three lords would have no choice but to intervene. After all, none of them want the Land without Masters to fall into someone else’s hands, as this is a strategically important place.”

There was unanimous opposition within the sect, and no one wanted to leave. After all, they could be lords here but would be bullied once they left. Could their previous good life continue? The Sect Leader was already a lord in the world, but some of them hadn’t even reached the Transcending Realm yet.

Some were even more paranoid, thinking that while the two had strong abilities, they might have moved some secret method; the Sect Leader had only developed a shadow after his defeat and thought the two opponents had heaven-defying abilities. They believed that if they fought again, it might not be the same outcome. Moreover, they also had the advantage of territory within the sect.

The Elder continued earnestly, “Sect Leader, don’t act on impulse and don’t jeopardize the sect’s future. As long as we stand our ground, they wouldn’t dare to slaughter wantonly. If the Sect Leader is afraid, you can leave alone and come back in a year or so to regain control.”

At this moment, Men Cangsheng felt very helpless. No one in the sect agreed, which was too ignorant. If they angered Logan, no one in the entire sect would be able to escape their wrath. Leaving now could at least preserve the big picture and the manpower of the sect.

However, it was understandable that the sect had been at ease for too long and had forgotten the terror of true powerhouses. It was not as simple as ordinary fighting and killing but rather a disagreement leading to rivers of blood. Only he had experienced it personally, which made him afraid of losing the sect in an instant.

“By the name of the Sect Leader, I assure each of you that more than a thousand people combined are no match for them, and there is only one day left to leave. If we are late, no one will be able to bear the consequences. You haven’t reached the Throne level and don’t understand the gap between Thrones.”

Men Cangsheng sighed deeply. A Complete King Seat was worth ten ordinary Thrones, but even they could only draw a tie. If a Complete King Seat became enraged, even twenty ordinary Thrones would not be able to stop them. Both Logan and Ba Ke Yun had the power of a Complete King Seat, equivalent to half of a Dominating Realm.

The neighboring lords seemed happy on normal days, but at a critical moment, they would never send troops to save them. Specifically, they would not send many Thrones to take a risk. After all, their sacrifice would be a huge loss for the lords, and some of them had even negotiated to join forces and destroy the Kuang Quan Sect.

“If we look deeper, the two young individuals have Throne-level strength, and the forces behind them might be more terrifying. Perhaps there are Dominator Realm practitioners backing them up. Otherwise, how could ordinary people cultivate to the Throne level at such a young age? In the struggle between these great powerhouses, our sect can only ensure its own safety.”

Men Cangsheng spoke sincerely to everyone, “Don’t worry, we have a thousand people together. Can’t we rebuild the sect in another place? This place is originally a gathering point for Three Forces. In the past hundred years, the three forces were each at odds with one another, and we could survive in the crevices; however, everything has changed.”

“Sect Leader, what you said is all reasonable, but we are ordinary people and never thought about the future; all we want is to be the lord of the Land without Masters in this canyon, show off for one more day, and get one more day. We can’t accept falling from the lord’s position to living at the mercy of others.”

More than a thousand people shook their heads. They knew that there were countless strong people in the ancient world, and finding a place to survive was not easy. Since they had one, they were unwilling to leave. If someone dared to snatch it away, they would fight to the death.
