Chapter 799 No Winner
Hayden did not wish to be at odds with Medicine God Sect if given the choice.
“You should just give up on your pursuit, as we will never hand him over to you. I will give you two choices; either you bring your people and leave this place, or you die here,” Axton snapped in a frigid tone.
There was clearly no room for any discussion.
Hayden was stumped to silence.
“How insolent of Medicine God Sect! What do you take the other clans for?”
Declan narrowed his eyes at Axton at the latter’s outright threat.
Axton looked at Declan and furrowed his brows slightly. “Who are you? Are you a backup of Hayden Xuereb?”
“This is master of the Turcoln clan, Master Declan Naberhaus. The very Curtis whom Jared murdered was Master Naberhaus’ most prized disciple. He is here to seek revenge against Jared as well,” Hayden pointed at Declan and introduced him to the elders of the sect.
Axton and the elders’ expressions darkened slightly at the mention of the Turcoln clan.
Declan was a master of magecraft, and a devious one at that. He would deploy all forms of resources, be it talismans, arcane arrays, charms, and even energy of heaven and earth to fight, unlike martial artists. The latter only relied on their own power, and even powerful ones like Martial Arts Grandmasters, relied on bursts of their own energy to fight.
Hence, there was a notable difference between martial artists and magecraft practitioners. In fact, most martial artists were wise enough to steer clear of magecraft practitioners.
Even though Axton and the elders were Martial Arts Grandmasters, they were clueless about magecraft. Hence, they would lose even if Declan were to craft the simplest illusion array. Therefore, they were bewildered at the mention of Declan from the Turcoln clan.
“Master Naberhaus, we offer our deepest apologies for the killing of your dearest disciple. We would gladly offer our most sincere compensation for your loss, even if it means giving away ten of our revitalizing pills to you. Jared Chance has been anointed as the new Lord of Medicine God Sect. If you insist on killing him, all of us here at Medicine God Sect will be left with no choice but to go all out and put up a good fight to defend our newly anointed lord,” Axton said in a rather courteous manner.
Axton’s remarks left Hayden and Declan speechless, especially Hayden.
After all, the compensation offered by Axton was far too generous to reject. If Declan were to agree to the terms, it would leave the Empyrean Sect to fight against Jared alone, making it a rather futile attempt.
“Mr. Knox, do not take us for a fool. How is it possible that Jared has become the new Lord of Medicine God Sect? Do not think that your ridiculous claim will deter us from going through with the fight. It is an eye for an eye situation that we’re dealing with here. He has killed my son and Master Naberhaus’ dearest disciple, and we demand him to pay in blood!”
Hayden turned to Declan and said, “Master Naberhaus, do not fall prey to their false claims. Jared is nothing but an ignorant young man. He cannot possibly be the Lord of Medicine God Sect. They are spewing nonsense and trying to drive a wedge between us so that they can deal with us one by one!”
Declan said nothing as he transfixed his stare at Axton. After some time, he finally uttered, “I do not care who this Jared is for he has to die. If you do not wish for blood to be spilled at Medicine God Sect, I would like to advise you to hand the man over. I promise that I will never bring trouble upon the sect.”
Declan did not believe in Axton’s claim that Jared was anointed as the new Lord of Medicine God Sect as well.
It was clear as day that the elders present were much stronger than the young man. Why would they be at Jared’s beck and call?
It simply did not make any sense.
“Master Naberhaus, if you do not believe it, then I am afraid we are left with no choice but to fight you to death,” Axton declared as he glanced at Timothy to his side.
The second-ranking elder took out something from his pocket and threw it up into the air, drawing sparkles in the sky.
