Chapter 356: 171
The Grand Elder fell into deep thought. Ten thousand Logans were not as important as his own son, but letting Logan off the hook was indeed unbearable. Moreover, Logan was too terrifying, striking down a Throne with mythical grade combat power.
If he were allowed to grow, even his own Half-Step Sovereign status might not be a match in the future. Today, he had become an enemy. If revenge were to occur, who would bear the consequences?
“Forget it. Since both sides were at fault, let’s end it here. As for Cloud upon the Sea’s reckless act today, I will make sure to teach him a lesson when I return. At the same time, I’d like to advise that it is better to be low-key. Acting rashly in one’s youth is not wise, as one might mysteriously disappear one day.”
After glancing at Argub, the Grand Elder made up his mind. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only let Logan go. After all, the Lord needed to save face, and Logan had saved his daughter’s life. If he couldn’t protect Logan, he might even be laughed at by the nearby Lords.
Argub let out a sigh of relief. The Grand Elder was indeed wise in choosing his battles. He was genuinely afraid that the elder would insist on continuing the fight until both sides suffered. If he didn’t stand on the right side, wouldn’t he make people lose heart?
But if he was truly impartial and ignored the life-saving benefactor, he would become the butt of everyone’s jokes after meals.
Moreover, Argub did not want his relationship with the Grand Elder to become completely strained. In this vast Million Territory, once the Grand Elder’s faction left, it would undoubtedly arouse the covetousness of surrounding Lords.
As a Half-Step Sovereign, the Grand Elder had dozens of people in the Throne Realm under his command, already making up one-third of the Lord’s forces. If it weren’t for the fact that he was a Dominator Realm practitioner, he might not even be able to suppress the Grand Elder.
Logan was neither humble nor arrogant, his voice resonating, “I am a Mythical Grade figure, but that doesn’t mean I am beneath you. I am not an arrogant person, but if someone challenges me, I will certainly retaliate. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow, there will be a Dominator Tier who will kill me.”
“You just wait, kid, this matter isn’t over. If you have the guts, don’t ever leave the Lord’s side. Without me watching over you, let’s see how far you can get.”
The severely injured Cloud upon the Sea snorted coldly. He had been terrified just now but had now regained his confidence due to his father’s presence. The more he looked at Logan, the more he wanted to grind his teeth in hatred.
However, with just a glance from Logan, Cloud upon the Sea became so frightened that he couldn’t even say a word.
After the Grand Elder and his people left, Argub sighed, “I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I should have anticipated this earlier. Cloud upon the Sea bears grudges, and I had criticized him before; he would definitely take his anger out on you.”
“There are two choices now. One is to stay in the palace and be protected by me. You will be safe and sound, and even if the Grand Elder bears a grudge against you, he wouldn’t dare to make a move under my watch. Besides, you can kill a Throne Realm fighter, so only the Grand Elder can suppress you now.”
“The second option is to leave. I will find someone to escort you overnight until you leave my territory. Even if the Grand Elder has many powerful spies, they can’t interfere in other people’s territories.”
After considering Argub’s suggestions, Logan decisively refused the second proposal. Leaving in such a sneaky manner was not his style, and he had no intention of bowing to the Grand Elder.
Regarding the first suggestion, Logan shook his head. He didn’t want to stay in the palace permanently, as his realm would stagnate, rendering this Instance mission pointless.
After hesitating for a moment, Logan asked, “Are there any training grounds nearby? I’d like to go and train.”
When he said this, Argub was immediately surprised. He didn’t know whether Logan didn’t understand the situation or if he was simply bold enough to go to the nearby training grounds despite being watched by the Grand Elder.
Wasn’t that just giving the Grand Elder a chance to make a move in secret? And, if the Lord wandered too far, he wouldn’t be able to protect him. Even as a mighty Dominator Realm fighter, he had too many tasks to handle every day.
“It doesn’t matter. After all, I was able to kill a Throne Realm fighter. Even if several more were to come at me, it would make no difference. Moreover, I am sure the Lord has had the idea of severely weakening the Grand Elder’s faction.” Logan said, stretching lazily and smiling playfully, “Lord, the Grand Elder is an ambitious man. One day, he will either move forward or leave the territory. Either decision is not what you want to see.”
The Lord took a deep breath, and it had to be said that Logan’s words struck the Lord’s heart. He had endured the Grand Elder’s overbearing behavior for so many years.
He had only thirty people in the Throne Realm under his command, while the Grand Elder had eighteen and was catching up. If the Grand Elder advanced to the Dominator Tier next, he could openly ask the Lord to step down or try to establish his own dominion.
But Logan was only a Mythical Grade fighter. No matter how extraordinary his combat power, it was a miracle that he could kill one Throne Realm fighter. On top of that, this was possible only because the enemy was not a true Throne Realm fighter but had forcibly trespass into the realm using drugs.
When the Grand Elder became furious, he would send out at least a dozen Throne Realm fighters. How could Logan deal with them alone? Argub could not lend Logan support, as if he sent his own forces out, the Grand Elder could use his team of over a dozen Throne Realm fighters to launch a surprise attack on him. Even a Dominator Realm fighter like him couldn’t withstand such a battle.
Logan remained calm, saying casually, “Don’t think about it too much. I’m determined to go out and train, understand? There’s no need for you to show any compassion, as I don’t need your guarantees. Wouldn’t you rather enjoy the benefits?”
As a mighty Dominator, Argub had been indecisive. This was one of the reasons why the Grand Elder could act so unscrupulously. If Logan were in charge, the Grand Elder would definitely submit. Unfortunately, Logan was merely an outsider, an existence that could only stay in this Instance for a year.
“Fine. Maybe I’m overthinking. If you wish to train, Heroes have always fought through blood and slaughter. Perhaps, in the face of the Grand Elder’s targeted move, you will advance even further.”
Argub sighed deeply, “If you want to train, your only choice is the nearby Ancient Road Illusion. It is said to be the tomb of a Sanctuary Powerhouse, containing numerous opportunities and unimaginable dangers. Typically, of the ten who enter, only one comes out alive.”
Logan immediately became interested in the Ancient Road Illusion. Since it was the tomb of a Sanctuary Powerhouse, it must be extraordinary. If he could advance from Mythical to Transcendent Tier, this Instance wouldn’t be in vain.
