“I wonder would you do me the honor of staying in my Xuantian Sword Sect for a few days?”
“I, Ling, will treat you with the utmost respect and will not neglect you in the slightest. Furthermore, I will not do anything that will harm you because of what happened before. I, Ling, swear by the devil within me!”
While speaking, Ling Yunzi looked serious and even raised his hand, as if to make an oath.
David’s mind raced.
Would it be a good idea to go to the Xuantian Sword Sect?
He now wanted to return to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to check the situation, because although the Demon Sect had withdrawn, the hidden danger had not completely disappeared.
Moreover, it is truly awkward and embarrassing that the mastermind behind this incitement visited the house of the victim who had been taken advantage of.
“I appreciate Sect Leader Ling’s kind invitation.”
David returned the greeting with cupped hands, then made up an excuse to decline, saying, “However, I have urgent business and must return to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect immediately. If I have time another day, I will definitely pay you a visit.”
“Brother Daoist Chen!”
However, Ling Yunzi was firm and interrupted David. Although the tone was polite, it sounded undeniable.
“This matter concerns the Soul Eater and the overall structure of the Ten Heavens; it is not at all personal to me, Ling.”
“Because you, fellow Taoists, are the enemy of that demon, you are on the same path as my Xuantian Sword Sect and even the path of righteousness of the Tenth Heaven.”
“I urge you, fellow Daoist, to return to the sect with me to discuss, so that we can share all the information we have regarding Venerable Soul Eater. Otherwise”
Ling Yunzi was silent for a moment, his gaze fell on David: “Otherwise, the strength and methods you demonstrated here today, as well as your achievements in instigating a war between the two sects, will likely arouse unnecessary interest and attention from other forces in the Ten Heavens towards you and your Ten Thousand Beast Sect.”
These words already contained a hint of threat, even though they were faint.
The meaning was clear: David, you have caused a commotion today, showing such extraordinary strength, and are even connected to the Soul Eater. If you refuse to cooperate, my Xuan Tian Sword Sect may not be able to do anything to you for now, but once this news spreads, people will definitely look for trouble with you and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
David frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased, but he had to admit that Ling Yunzi brought up a valid point.
He was indeed too flashy today. He dismissed Soul Fiend and mentioned Soul Devourer. It would be hard not to attract attention.
He didn’t want this to cause more trouble for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
Seeing David hesitating, Ling Yunzi softened his tone and assured him, “Brother Daoist Chen, rest assured, I, Ling, guarantee with the ten thousand year old reputation of the Xuantian Sword Sect that I invited you here only to discuss how to deal with Venerable Soul Eater and the Thousand Soul Demon Sect. I have absolutely no ill intentions.”
“Once the plan is agreed upon, whether you stay or go, fellow Daoists, will not be forced. Furthermore, our sect is willing to form an alliance with the Thousand Beast Sect to jointly deal with the threat of the Demon Sect.”
Now that things had come to this, if David refused forcefully, it would only make him look guilty and could immediately escalate the conflict.
