Lightning Is the Only Way

"Everyone's present, Master."

In a bright, gigantic hall, four people were respectfully standing in front of a young man with black hair. The young man sat on a gigantic throne, and two guards stood beside him. The two guards didn't move and acted like statues.

The four people were not happy to be here.

They already had an inkling of why their master had called them.

"The Myriad Sect is still alive?" the young man on the throne asked.

One of the four people stepped forward and bowed politely.

"Yes, Master. I apologize for our incompetence," he said deferentially.

The four people were only waiting for words of admonishment. Their Sect had been warring with the Myriad Sect for over 50,000 years by now.

This had been one of the longest wars that their Sect had ever been part of.

The four people felt stifled and frustrated.

They had been so much more powerful than the Myriad Sect, but two of their Commanders had been killed in the struggle, severely weakening their strength.

The Myriad Sect and the Eternal Fire Sect had been fighting in several scuffles, but they hadn't had an all-out war yet. None of the two Sects had attacked the other one's headquarter yet.

Why?

Because the Eternal Fire Sect knew that the Myriad Sect's headquarters had once been owned by an Ancestral God. There was a very high likelihood that the Myriad Sect would have Formation Arrays that severely weakened everything below the Ancestral God Realm.

Going all-out would be too risky.

Why hadn't the Myriad Sect attacked their headquarters yet?

Same reason, except for one difference.

The Eternal Fire Sect had more than a couple Ancestral Gods.

The Eternal Fire Sect was not like the Broad Earth Sect, where there was only one Ancestral God. No, the Eternal Fire Sect had over a hundred Ancestral Gods, and their Sect stretched across a vast distance.

Openly attacking the Eternal Fire Sect would only result in the destruction of the Myriad Sect.

The only reason why the Myriad Sect was even warring with the Eternal Fire Sect was that the Eternal Fire Sect had been the aggressor. The Myriad Sect had made several concessions, but the Eternal Fire Sect just kept attacking.

Was this all under Manuel's control?

No, not this time.

The Eternal Fire Sect was honestly way too powerful for their liking.
