Chapter 1674: Chapter 1674: Coercion
Carson Flores had heard of True Solar Fire, the legend says that True Solar Fire is crafted by superpowers using heaven-reaching abilities, extremely yang and potent, one of the most fierce fires in the world.
Carson Flores had some thoughts, but they weren’t strong.
Carson Flores always felt that the other party deliberately lured people in, then used tactics to incite mutual killing, in order to achieve their ulterior motives.
Carson Flores had experienced many similar situations, like Lilianna Norman resurrecting the Demon Ancestor, or Mystical Immortal Island snatching bodies, Eastflow Ancestor’s Secret Realm blood refinement, among others. This made him skeptical and wary of such hidden experts’ remnant souls lurking in the shadows.
"Young Master, should we participate in the snatch?"
Carson Flores shook his head without hesitation: "No."
June Weiss and Mona Briggs exchanged a glance, quite surprised internally.
He sure can keep his cool!
Is it really safety first?
The Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect leader Beckett Compton showed a delighted expression because he possessed the Fire Spirit Root, and it was even of the upper grade. Although there was still a distance to the Fire Spirit Body, he was already considered super exceptional.
This True Solar Fire, Sun True Scripture, aren’t they prepared just for himself?
Absorb the True Solar Fire and learn the Sun True Scripture, even when returning to the Sect, these are his spoils. From then on, he will be the most valued person in the entire Sect, and future control of the Sect is a certainty!
Beckett Compton was intensely focused on that True Solar Fire, but suddenly felt multiple gazes land on him, which instantly startled him.
Beckett Compton turned around and his heart contracted abruptly.
Many were staring at him and his group, with unfriendly eyes. Clearly, these adventurers who came alone had already regarded the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect’s many disciples as the primary opponent.
The young man in black who struck earlier spoke: "The strongest on-site is the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect. If we scatter like sand, we’ll surely be defeated by them one by one. I suggest we first unite and defeat the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect members, and then compete with our own skills."
The young man’s words instantly garnered everyone’s agreement.
They all came alone; even if by chance they gained the True Solar Fire, there’s no way to keep it.
Whoever wants to obtain the True Solar Fire must defeat all others. Even if not killing them, at least restrain others or injure them so that they can’t continue fighting; otherwise, who would just watch someone else absorb the True Solar Fire slowly?
Beckett Compton became anxious: "This place is our Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect’s territory. You kill us, and even if you acquire the Sun True Scripture, can you escape?"
Everyone thought for a moment and suddenly found logic in his words.
Internal and external troubles, no safe method!
The young man in black, thinking swiftly, sneered: "As long as we first defeat you, restrain you, irrespective of who wins later, and gains the Sun True Scripture, even if there’s no other exit and we must return the way we came, the winner just needs to control you; with your lives in hand, I think the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect won’t neglect many disciples’ lives for an absorbed True Solar Fire, right?"
Everyone’s eyes shone brightly, hey, this method seems good!
Previously, everyone worried that even if they got good stuff, they couldn’t leave safely. After all, no one dared to be sure if the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect would adhere to ethics and not trouble them. Now, hearing the young man’s words, they suddenly found this method very reliable.
Everyone looked at the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect disciples with more malicious intent.
Beckett Compton cursed internally, wishing to kill the young man in black.
"We have similar numbers; you may not beat us!"
The young man in black sneered: "If you can’t even beat them, then what’s the talk of seizing True Solar Fire. To seize True Solar Fire, first defeat you, control you, that’s the basic first step. The rest is secondary!"
Everyone reflected carefully and immediately found the young man’s words very sensible.
If they can’t subdue even the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect disciples, then what’s the point of snatching?
The young man in black scanned everyone and finally stopped at Carson Flores and his companions standing aside, coldly smiling: "This battle requires everyone’s participation. If anyone doesn’t join in, hoping to conserve strength and wait on the sidelines to pick up what’s left, after the battle ends, we, the alliance members, will deal with them first, and then everyone competes with their own skills!"
The young man’s words changed quite a few expressions.
Who doesn’t want to conserve strength?
Who doesn’t want to watch the tigers fight from a mountain, enjoying the fisherman’s gain?
The young man’s words directly killed everyone’s intentions, forcing even those with or without thoughts of the True Solar Fire, all to be swept along by him.
With Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect’s union, that goes without saying; they must be defeated first. Second, those unwilling to act must also be united against. At this point, everyone needs to take action.
After defeating the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect disciples, chaos ensues. Not acting leads to facing being ganged up on.
Who knows if they’ll be killed?
The young man in black scanned everyone once more, confirming all were swayed by him, then shouted loudly, "Everyone strike together, kill!"
