Deities: Starting From Goblins

“Should we notify the Shingo Sect immediately?” one of them suggested, considering that a Strong Dominator from the Shingo Sect had been involved and the Shingo Sect was unaware of the situation. They needed to alert them swiftly and join forces to pursue the murderer.

The other two did not respond, even unconsciously shaking their heads. The incident was too significant, and they needed to give it some serious thought. One thing was for sure: the shadowy figure was undoubtedly the murderer who had plotted the entire scenario.

After pondering for a moment, one of them suddenly blanched. “We have to leave this tent quickly, this might be a set-up by that shadowy figure. If other strong ones from different sects come in, they’ll definitely blame us three. No wonder that shadowy figure was escaping so slowly just now, it’s because they wanted to give us time to get to this tent.”

The other two were petrified. Indeed, the attack methods of that shadowy figure were quite low-grade. Even an ordinary Transcendent tier cultivator wouldn’t have fallen for it. Everything seemed to make sense now. From the very start, the enemy never intended to kill them but to draw people here.

“Who, exactly, harbors such hostility toward the Heavenly Sword Sect?” After gasping for breath, the three of them realized that this was not a place to linger, they should never let anyone see that they had been here because the Heavenly Sword Sect was already under suspicion.

Just as they left the tent, they saw a large group of people rushing over. Leading the group were the Strong Dominators from several major Sects, followed by dozens of throne holders. The three of them were petrified, praying that these people wouldn’t suspect the Heavenly Sword Sect.

One of them managed to formulate his words: “We just chased a shadowy figure, suspecting it to be the one who killed the Flying Flow Sect’s strong one yesterday. Without thinking, we ended up at the Shingo Sect, only to discover two Dominators dead in their tent.”

“What?” The crowd was stunned by this statement. They had anticipated trouble, but the revelation that two Dominators had been murdered was a bombshell. The total number of dead Dominators had now reached three.

At first, only the throne holders were frightened, but now the other Dominators began to fear for their own safety. The Flying Flow Sect’s strong one killed yesterday was likely ambushed, but how could there be another death today under such stringent security?

The people from the Shingo Sect were in a daze. “Is that true? Our Shingo Sect has always avoided conflicts with others.” They rushed into the tent like madmen. Sure enough, there were two bodies on the ground and a line of characters written in blood. They recognized the two dead to be elders of their sect.

Everyone else entered the tents and sighed at the sight of the Dominators’ bodies. It was incredibly tragic. It was clear that they didn’t die from an ambush, but from a considerable battle, for their faces were pale, depleted of any spiritual energy. If they were attacked unknowingly, the spiritual energy in their Dantian wouldn’t dissipate, and their bodies would at least remain robust for a year and a half.

“You said you were chasing the shadow, but I don’t believe it. Furthermore, after seeing the bodies, you left without alerting the Shingo Sect?”

Someone raised doubts. They arrived just in time to see the three men fleeing the tent. If they hadn’t, there would have been no shred of evidence left. In the entire camp, who other than these three had the strength to confront two Dominators?

The others nodded in agreement, their suspicions growing. ” It’s too much of a coincidence. The incident yesterday involving the Flying Flow Sect’s strong one had a tie to you, and you three are trying to pin the blame on this so-called shadow?”

“The Heavenly Sword Sect must explain why everyone they’ve had disputes with ends up mysteriously dead. Who would dare to cross the six major sects? Except for Logan and his group, who else has the strength to kill Dominators?”

The brow of a Strong Dominator from the Heavenly Saint Sect furrowed as he released his aura, “If you don’t give an explanation today, you two will have to pay with your blood. Otherwise, if we let it slide, how can the remaining Dominators in the camp see tomorrow’s sun?”

Out of ten Dominators in this team, three had already died. Eliminating the three from the Heavenly Sword Sect left only four. They could just manage to suppress the three from the Heavenly Sword Sect. If they lose another one, no one would be able to keep the Heavenly Sword Sect in check, a terrifying thought indeed.

“All of this sounds bizarre, but it has nothing to do with our Heavenly Sword Sect.” The three of them laughed bitterly as they explained to the other sects, admitting that the culprit was far too cunning. Though they had dominated the martial arts world for decades, they had been outsmarted.

“It was all part of the murderer’s scheme, aiming to frame the Heavenly Sword Sect and spark a power struggle amongst the major sects. I bet the shadowy figure has some connection to Logan. He’s the one who wants to see the six major sects in conflict the most.”

Most of the people shook their heads in disbelief at these ridiculous words. If the shadowy figure wanted to frame someone, why not choose another sect? Why only the Heavenly Sword Sect? And while they mentioned a shadowy figure, none of the other sects had seen anything. They only saw these three from the Heavenly Sword Sect running towards the Shingo Sect, there was no one else suspicious.

“This line of blood characters looks like the last words of the deceased, indicating that the Flying Flow Sect was responsible.” Someone deciphered the bloody characters and exclaimed to the other, the people of the Flying Flow Sect, however, were immediately enraged at being falsely accused.

The Flying Flow Sect had already lost one Dominator and was in a state of extreme distress. The Heavenly Sword Sect was their prime suspect. If they had the capability, they would certainly target the Heavenly Sword Sect’s strong ones. Why would they implicate the unrelated Shingo Sect?

The people of the other sects chuckled in disbelief. They didn’t believe the bloody message. The Dominator of the Flying Flow Sect had been killed yesterday, and today their camp was left with only a heap of throne holders. No matter how many throne holders there were, they couldn’t compete against a Dominator, especially when there had been no signs of struggle tonight.

People from the Heavenly Saint Sect looked at the three from the Heavenly Sword sect, suspecting, “Yesterday, the Flying Flow Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect nearly came to blows, but it didn’t escalate thanks to the forbearance of the sect leaders. Could it be that the three Dominators of the Heavenly Sword Sect bore a grudge and decided to kill the people of the Shingo Sect, then blamed the Flying Flow Sect?”

“It must be, all the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect are so wicked.” Many people nodded. Currently, the Heavenly Sword Sect was the biggest suspect., the three Dominators had already been caught red-handed. If they claimed innocence, no one would believe them.

Everyone had already suspected that the Heavenly Sword Sect was behind the murder of the Flying Flow Sect’s strong one. It was now a foregone conclusion. The three Dominators from the Heavenly Sword Sect were still here denying it, but none of the dozens of people present believed they were mistaken about what they saw. They had scorned the Heavenly Sword Sect to their very bones.

Since the loss of the strong ones from the Flying Flow Sect and Shingo Sect, the people from the other sects felt threatened. If the murderer wasn’t severely punished, would they be the next target? The vicious and ruthless nature of the Heavenly Sword Sect was clear to everyone.

The three Dominators from the Heavenly Sword Sect responded calmly, “Everyone, don’t fall into their trap. Their aim is to make us fight amongst ourselves. The six major sects must unite against this common enemy at this moment. We from the Heavenly Sword Sect have always acted with a clear conscience. How could we possibly ambush in secret?”
