Calculations of Both Sides (2) Chapter 147
Somehow, someone had managed to summon experts and took advantage of a moment when the other Elders were not in the tent to launch a surprise attack on the Great Elder and his two companions.
The outcome was witnessed by many—the Light Curtain of the mother stone of the Shadow Stone inside the tent…
This left them with no room to explain and no choice but to remain silent!
Moreover, those who had not perished bore a grudge against the Divine Doctor Sect, not only voluntarily withdrawing from the Sect’s selection process, but also deliberately ambushing members of the Divine Doctor Sect in the forest…
Fortunately, the other Elders soon returned, and with the combined efforts of ten people, they managed to protect the mother stone of their Shadow Stone.
After they transmitted the situation to Elder Han in Fengye City, Elder Han, upon his arrival and learning of the developments, was furious…
He ordered the ten of them to continue searching for the Dark Stone Vein with their men, while he returned to the Divine Doctor Sect with the mother stone.
After all, this incident had cast a shadow over the reputation of the Divine Doctor Sect, which had been accumulated over many years.
They had to find a solution…
Otherwise, once the forces from the Demon Forest returned home, the reputation of the Divine Doctor Sect, cultivated over thousands of years, could be destroyed in an instant…
“Great Elder, I think Prince Ouyang is deliberately following us!
Otherwise, why would they not leave by now?”
“Indeed, by now most of the forces have started to withdraw!
The few small forces that haven’t left are nothing to be afraid of!
It’s just that the Ouyang Royal Family seems to be completely at ease, with no intention of leaving at all!”
“Right, I also overheard a guard by the Prince’s side talking to a leader of a force, saying that the Prince wants to train in the Demon Forest.
But look, the Prince stays in his tent all day.
How is that any kind of training?”
The Fifth Elder and several others looked towards the Great Elder of the Divine Doctor Sect as they spoke.
“What you’re saying, am I not aware of it?
But don’t forget, this is the Demon Forest, not our Divine Doctor Sect.
Even if we know their intentions, there’s nothing we can do about it,” the Great Elder said with a soft sigh.
He naturally saw through the Ouyang Royal Family’s intentions, but what could he do?
He couldn’t just drive them out, as the Demon Forest didn’t belong to the Divine Doctor Sect…
“So what do we do?
Do we just let them follow us indefinitely?
The Vice Sect Master mentioned that the Mineral Vein surely exists.
It’s very likely that someone discovered it and set up a strong Array for protection.
He said we must not think of leaving and that we must guard this place no matter what…” The Fifth Elder said, frowning.
“Let’s wait and see for now.
After all, we have only found a place that could be the snowfield.
As you know, if it is truly a strong Array, and our people haven’t noticed anything by now, maybe they have someone who can figure it out?
As long as the Mineral Vein isn’t found, we just need to watch and wait!
Once we find the Vein…” The Great Elder’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent as he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Upon hearing this, the other nine individuals’ eyes flickered with understanding, and they nodded in agreement, feeling that was all they could do for now…
Not far from them, in a large tent, sat a chubby middle-aged man with a puffy face.
Around him were several old men, with dozens of other people on both sides—young and old, men and women…
“King Chuan, those people from the Divine Doctor Sect have been looking at us quite unfavorably in recent days,” one of the old men below said.
