Deities: Starting From Goblins

“Can’t be of any help!” Bart Cloud chuckled. The battle had escalated to a Saint-level conflict, and he was merely at the pinnacle of the Throne level; the difference was not minor.

Logan glanced at him and smiled, saying, “Actually, this has nothing to do with us. Isn’t it a great help already that we’re standing with Cain Scarlet and the others?”

This battle appeared catastrophic, but in truth, it was nothing more than countless ordinary humans suffering. It was these Lords and Sects that suffered the least losses, even Sandy Wexler included. If push really came to shove, would he truly fight against the Demonic Sky Gate?

Logan was well aware that he and Bart Cloud were more onlookers than helpers. He thought of this as a trial to experience; there was no need to take it to heart too deeply.

At that moment, a group suddenly appeared outside the tent. All the guards rushed up at once, surrounding these uninvited guests.

The leader of the group sneered and scolded, “You’ve got some nerve. Weren’t you the ones who begged for our Saint Sky Sect to deal with the Demonic Sky Gate? Why then do we meet with armed hostility after coming here?”

Hearing that these people were from the Saint Sky Sect, everyone was uncertain whether to believe them. If they truly were reinforcements from the Saint Sky Sect, that would be a good thing. But what if they weren’t?

Thus, they didn’t let down their guard and sent someone to inform Cain Scarlet and the others, requesting the Lords and all the Sect Leaders to identify these people.

As soon as they heard that a messenger from the Saint Sky Sect had arrived, Samuel Westman and others immediately came out to welcome them. Amilia Scarlet was the first to speak, “These people are indeed from the Saint Sky Sect, led by Peregrine Azure, the Vice Sect Leader of the Saint Sky Sect.”

“The Demonic Sky Gate is plotting treachery, and the Saint Sky Sect naturally cannot sit by idly. We have come to offer our aid,” stated Peregrine Azure with an air of superiority.

“Will that Supreme Elder of the Saint Sky Sect come?” Sandy Wexler asked. This was the crucial question, as everyone was hoping for the assistance of the Saint Seat.

Peregrine Azure shook his head, pronouncing righteously, “To deal with a mere Demonic Sky Gate, do we need the personal intervention of a Supreme Elder from the Saint Sky Sect? My presence should suffice.”

“You’re merely a Quasi-Saint, with the same strength as those present here. Why such arrogance?” Logan couldn’t stand it any longer and retorted. Every Lord and the seven Sect Leaders here were Quasi-Saints. Was the Saint Sky Sect actually helpful or did they just come to make things worse?

Peregrine Azure glanced at Logan, his rage flaring instantly, “Is it your place to speak? This young man really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Indeed, all of you Sect Leaders are Quasi-Saints, but there are disparities even within the same Realm. Do you think your strength in the Western Wasteland can compare to mine?”

“I see it now. The Saint Sky Sect didn’t send you here to help, but to supervise the battle, ensuring that the forces of the Western Wasteland and the Demonic Sky Gate both suffer. So don’t lord it over people with your superior attitude; no one here will be fooled by you.”

Logan’s gaze was piercing as he pointed out the Saint Sky Sect’s true motives, leaving Peregrine Azure somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, the Saint Sky Sect’s intention was exactly that. He had come merely to fan the flames, ensuring that the forces of the Western Wasteland would not fear to fight the Demonic Sky Gate to the death.

But obviously, Peregrine Azure could not admit it and instead retorted fiercely, “Slander, is it? I ought to take action to suppress you, making you pay for your words and actions.”

“Do not resort to violence,” Sandy Wexler immediately intervened, standing in front of Logan. “Logan is straightforward; don’t be petty. Even if my Wexler Clan offends the Saint Sky Sect, we will surely protect Logan.”

“He’s that important?” Peregrine Azure’s eyes flitted with curiosity. He had already investigated and was certainly aware of Sandy Wexler. Even the Saint Sky Sect held a hint of reverence for the Wexler Clan. Who in the Ancient World hadn’t heard of the strength of their City-protecting Array back in the day?

However, just a few days ago, the indestructible city-protecting array was breached, and it was by an array set by Sandy Wexler himself. The power of the city-protecting array was comparable to that of several Saint Seats. Despite weakening over time, the difference was negligible.

Sandy Wexler could use an array to break the city-protecting array, and perhaps he could use it against the Holy See. Even the Heavenly Saint Sect might not be a match for him. Although all of this was just hearsay, and rumors often contained exaggeration, Sandy Wexler should not be provoked without dire necessity.

Sandy Wexler nodded, glancing at Logan, “He is the benefactor of the Wexler Clan, the Array Master who set up the Spirit Gathering Array. Anyone who dares to harm Logan will find the Wexler Clan ready to go through fire and water to seek revenge for him.”

“What?” The entire audience was shocked. No wonder Sandy Wexler was so courteous to Logan before. It turned out that Logan was such a fearsome existence. Everyone couldn’t help but gasp and began to think back to whether they had said anything offensive to Logan previously.

Peregrine Azure was also stunned for a moment, but he did not want to lose face, “So what? The rumors say that the array wasn’t all that impressive. It was simply the combination of the power of tens of millions of people in the city that broke the city-protecting array, not the work of one person alone.”

“And what about the slaying of that Quasi-Saint afterwards?” Logan said with a playful smile. Back when the Sect Leader of the Supreme Sect caused trouble, he hadn’t relied on the strength of others in the city. Instead, he had used several million Spirit Stones to make his opponent die beneath the Spirit Gathering Array.

Peregrine Azure was at a loss for words, fear flashing in his eyes. He had forgotten about that incident. He didn’t think his Quasi-Saint abilities were much stronger than others. If he seriously offended Logan and Logan set up another Spirit Gathering Array, his fate was predictable.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing, “I was just making a small joke earlier. Heavenly Saint Sect is a righteous sect and would never bully anyone for no reason. We are all united now in resisting the Demonic Sky Gate, let’s not create conflicts amongst ourselves, giving the Demonic Sky Gate an advantage.”

“Indeed, let’s get down to business.” Cain Scarlet interjected, making peace. Whether it was Logan or the Heavenly Saint Sect, neither was easy to offend, and both were forces against the Demonic Sky Gate. If these two parties started fighting, it would certainly provide an opportunity for the Demonic Sky Gate to attack.

Logan’s gaze remained fixed on Peregrine Azure, waiting for him to concede. Being verbally offended and now expecting to laugh it off without an apology?

Would he, without strength or Sandy Wexler’s help on his side, already be dead at the hands of Peregrine Azure, with no one to pity him?

Peregrine Azure stood motionless. He clearly saw that Logan was unwilling to provide him a way out. But after all, he was representing the entire Heavenly Saint Sect. If he bowed to Logan in front of so many people, where would the Heavenly Saint Sect’s face be? He would be utterly humiliated.

But without conceding, Logan would certainly not be satisfied. The situation in the field was extremely delicate at the moment, and the onlookers didn’t even dare to breathe heavily. One was a super first-class sect from the Central Region, Heavenly Saint Sect, and the other was a terrifyingly powerful young Array Master.

At this moment, someone whispered beside Peregrine Azure, “Vice Sect Leader, Logan must not be simple. Even if our Heavenly Saint Sect is not afraid of Logan, we should consider who nurtured him. Such a terrifying Array Master must have an amazing inheritance.”

Peregrine Azure frowned, indeed realizing the truth in the words. Even though apologizing to Logan was humiliating, it was better to avoid trouble, as the Heavenly Saint Sect’s plans were far more important.

“I apologize, I was in the wrong just now.” In front of the numerous disciples from various sects and forces present, Peregrine Azure gave Logan a deep bow, recalling his previous high and mighty demeanor, the people present couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

So it turned out that the Heavenly Saint Sect was just like this. Before, everyone held an inexplicable respect for Heavenly Saint Sect, the sole hope against the Demonic Sky Gate. Now, that filter was completely shattered, instead, they began to admire Logan even more, recognizing him as a true favored child of the heavens.

Logan smiled playfully, waving his hand, “Since you’ve come, you must take action against the Demonic Sky Gate. Keep those little schemes to yourselves.”

Peregrine Azure glowered, but did not refute a word. Logan’s meaning was clear: the Heavenly Saint Sect should not expect to stand by and profit as bystanders.
