Deities: Starting From Goblins

“You’re not qualified. Summon your Sect Head!” The head of the Heavenly Saint Sect coldly commanded. Seeing the other side taking serious actions, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect hurried back to report to their Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was distressed, insomnia all night due to rumors that were spread yesterday. Just as he was feeling a bit drowsy in the morning, a swarm of disciples broke into his tent.

Just as he was about to be furious, he saw several people with bruised faces. “Sect Leader, a group of people from the Heavenly Saint Sect started a disturbance. They beat our disciples and threatened to destroy the entire Sect if you do not give an explanation.”

“What’s going on?” The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader frowned up. Although there had always been conflicts between him and the Heavenly Saint Sect, it was unreasonable for them to suddenly become hostile and attack his Sect’s disciples. When there is conflict between sects, the leaders are supposed to negotiate.

All the disciples shook their heads, all felt inexplicably puzzled. After yesterday’s rumors, they had avoided any conflicts with outsiders, so it was impossible for someone to seek revenge. They didn’t understand why the Heavenly Saint Sect was acting like this? Perhaps they were just looking for a fight.

“This is too much.” The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader slammed his desk in anger. They came to fight without a reason. Did they think the Heavenly Sword Sect is easy to bully? Issues with his disciples should be dealt internally, it was not the place of outsiders. Angered, he prepared to call for backup and confront the intruders.

Just then, an elder ran into the tent and respectfully said: “Sect Leader, you must not act impulsively. We have found out why the Heavenly Saint Sect is angry. Because last night, a dozen of their disciples were suddenly killed, and a blood letter was left stating that it was the work of our Heavenly Sword Sect, with the intention of concealing the Holy See’s fortune.”

“What? How come I didn’t know?” The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader was stunned. He asked: “Could it really have been ordered by someone in the Sect? Call all the Elders in, we must get to the bottom of this. We absolutely should not have trespassed and killed in another’s camp. This has become a big issue and it really is difficult to explain.”

“I have already inquired. It was not the work of our Heavenly Sword Sect. Moreover, we do not rule out that disciples from our Sect may have gone there secretly. But if we confront the Heavenly Saint Sect now, we will surely trigger a bloody fight, resulting in losses on both sides. Won’t it be tantamount to benefitting the other sects?”

The Elder shook his head and continued analyzing: “In light of yesterday’s rumors, it was all premeditated. I suspect that the other major Sects did this on purpose, aiming to ignite a war between our two great Sects. This is definitely not the time to be fooled, we must find a way to explain things to the Saints.”

“You make a good point.” The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader drew a sharp breath. Indeed, everything from yesterday to now was too peculiar, as if specifically targeting the Heavenly Sword Sect. They had been unfairly blamed for things that had nothing to do with them, they were clearly innocent yet were accused as murderers.

However, he also understood that the Heavenly Saint Sect would certainly be up in arms at this moment. Any amount of explanation at this point would be useless, it would only make them think he was either feeling guilty or scared. Unless he could produce concrete evidence. But dozens of people had left behind blood letters, what evidence could be more solid than blood letters?

With a bitter smile, the Elder pondered for a while: “Whether they believe us or not, we must go out and explain. If our two great Sects genuinely fight, the other four major Sects will certainly revel in our misfortune. If the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect is a wise man, he will not willingly be used by others.”

“Alright, I’ll go and see for myself.” The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader spoke. Any valid explanation would be ideal, but if the other party refused to listen to reason, he would not be courteous. Even if it was a plot by the other major Sects, for the sake of not being trampled upon, he must not back down.

Although all six Sect Leaders were at the Half-step Saint Seat, he was confident that he was the strongest among them. The others bore the title of Half-step, but in plain terms they were only at standard Dominator Realm, their strengths merely boasted, while he was a genuine Half-step Saint Seat.

As soon as the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader stepped out, he was immediately attacked by a Divine Skill Rule. But his strength was equally great, he easily blocked this attack and repelled the opponent. The head of the Heavenly Saint Sect looked somewhat awkward, but still maintained a poker face.

In the scrutiny of the next moment, the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader reproached: “Are you done? Your dozen of people were killed by others, instead of investigating the killer you come to me. Do you really believe the so-called blood letter left behind? It may not have been left by your disciples, but fabricated and framed by others.”

“Keep pretending! Today, there must be an explanation from the Heavenly Sword Sect, otherwise one of us will cease to exist!” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect smirked coldly. The other side still remained arrogant, when it was clearly their people who killed their disciples, yet they acted as if they are in the right.

“Whether you believe it or not, the Heavenly Sword Sect has no information about this. If it were really our assassins, why would they leave such glaring traces like a blood letter? Can you not think about it properly? This is definitely a plot by other Sects aiming at both of us suffering losses.”

“Yesterday, others falsely accused our Heavenly Sword Sect of seizing the Holy See’s fortune. Today, something like this suddenly happened. All of these are definitely not a mere coincidence, it certainly is calculated by people with ulterior motives. Although our six great Sects have always been in discord, I never expected some people to be so malicious.”

The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s eyes were sharp, and he spoke sternly: “I am saying this right now, other Sects should not play these shady tricks. If you have the ability, come at me in broad daylight, I can stand against all of it here. Constantly putting blames on us, don’t you feel that it demeans your status as a top-tier Sect?”

The thousands of onlookers were all stunned. What did his words mean? It was clearly a conflict between him and the Heavenly Saint Sect, why was he dragging others into it? It was obviously framing, no one believed their Sect would do such thing, they simply thought the he was evading responsibility.

One person was very unsatisfied and stood out: “If the Heavenly Sword Sect did not send the assassins, why are you so guilty? Unless you can provide evidence, this matter is settled as it is. If you really want to shift the blame to other Sects, do you want to offend more people?”

“You are an Elder from the Flying Flow Sect, I have not named names, why are you so eager to come out and speak? Could it be that you are feeling guilty? Moreover, your Flying Flow Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect have always been at odds. You are using the Heavenly Saint Sect against us, I understand it all now.”

Seeing someone counter, the Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect cast his gaze over with a playful look in his eyes. If indeed other Sects were pulling strings behind the scenes, his initial suspicion would fall on the Flying Flow Sect.
