Chapter 729: Chapter 440: Everyone Has a Mount_1


    The nine of them weighed the pros and cons and still decided to stand on the side of Wen Chen Daoist. On one hand, they felt that the Holy Daoist was weak, and on the other, they did not believe that Logan would seed.


    With the help of the nine, Wen Chen Daoist let out a smug smile, “Now the Holy Daoist is all alone, even with the Emperor Weapon on his side, he is nothing to fear.”


    Although the Holy Daoist was resentful, he calcted that as long as he exerted all his strength, he would still be able to hold off these dozen or so people, especially since he only needed tost one hour. The remaining twenty from the Holy See would surely arrive, and by then, these people were doomed.


    However, at this very moment, another figure appeared on the scene: “You’re too useless, the Demon King gave you three days, and you haven’t made any progress?”


    “No, we’re about to y Logan,” Wen Chen Daoist startled upon seeing the neer. The Demon n Envoy was specially dispatched by the Demon King to oversee him.


    The Demon n Envoy nced at Logan and said, “Then I shall lend you a hand, leave the Holy Daoist for you to deal with, while I go and eradicate Logan.”


    As he mustered a Divine Skill, the Demon n Envoy moved next to Logan in one step. The Holy Daoist wanted to intervene, but was held up by Wen Chen Daoist and the others.


    Logan was at a critical moment in his pill concoction and had no time to defend himself against this sudden attack; the Holy Daoist was being restrained by Wen Chen Daoist and the others and could hardly move.


    The attack was less than a meter away from Logan, and at this moment, Wen Chen Daoistughed triumphantly, for Logan’s death was certain, putting an end to the refining of the Holy Life Elixir.


    The Holy Daoist was in utter despair. Alone and powerless, if only there were a few more Sanctuaries Powerhouses, there wouldn’t have been an opportunity to exploit.<div>


    Thinking of his promise to Logan, he had vowed to protect him. If Logan were to truly fall, the Holy Daoist would be utterly ruined.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    At this critical juncture, the attack from the Demon n Envoy was suddenly blocked by someone, and a Sanctuary Powerhouse appeared, looking disdainfully around the circle.


    “You group of Sanctuaries, it’s truly disgraceful to bully a Quasi-Saint. And during the refining of an Elixir, no less?”


    The Mountain Saint Taoist nced around and shook his head: “Now that I am here, I won’t let anyone harm Logan. There is a promise between us, but more importantly, I dislike you people.”


    “Fellow Daoist, even though you are also a Sanctuary, it’s just the two of you with the Holy Daoist, facing our group of over a dozen. Are you sure you can keep Logan safe?”


    Wen Chen Daoist furrowed his brow and said loudly, “How about stepping aside and sparing yourself the trouble? You can’t protect Logan, and this isn’t just a matter for the Human race. The Demon Beast n and the Demon King specifically demand Logan’s fall; with their numerous Powerhouses, offending them would have unimaginable consequences.”


    “If I said I can, then I can. If you dare to take another step forward, don’t me me for showing no mercy. And don’t try to threaten me with the Monster Beast n either. While I can’t defeat the Demon King of the Monster Beast n, it doesn’t mean that I’m afraid. Why should the Human race bow down to the Monster Beast n?”


    “As for you lot, you are colluding with the Monster Beast n? It’s a disgrace to our race. You’re old experts who have cultivated to the Sanctuary levels, yet you don’t even understand the most basic principles? On a small scale, youck character, but on arger one, you are traitors to the entire Human race.”


    Mountain Saint Taoist waved his hand, and a surge of energy burst forth, subjecting all the Sanctuaries present to pressure, letting them understand that his Realm was at least above the fifth level of Sanctuary, much stronger than theirs. Even with the Demon n Envoy alone, they would clearly be no match.


    Moreover, they were in no position to support the Demon n Envoy, being held back by the Holy Daoist on their own. With the Emperor Weapon in his hands, the Holy Daoist was driving them back, so even with only two people on his side, in terms ofbat power, Wen Chen Daoist’s side was no longer an opponent.


    The only choice left seemed to be to win over the suddenly appearing Mountain Saint Taoist. Even if he would not aid them, he should not continue protecting Logan. Sanctuary Powerhouses always prioritized interests, and they believed that if the offered stake was high enough, the Mountain Saint Taoist might remain an observer.


    “Fellow Daoist, what do Sanctuaries fear the most? It’s nothing but the depletion of their lifespan. The Demon King of the Monster Beast n promises Elixirs that can extend life; when it’s time, you could gain one or two hundred more years of vitality, giving you ample time to challenge the Saint Emperor Realm. How about we coborate?”


    Wen Chen Daoist looked at the Mountain Saint Taoist and said earnestly, “If you refrain from acting, the Elixir given by the Demon King will be shared with you. Isn’t this much better than protecting Logan? Plus, the dozen of us can put together thirty Top-Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to billions of Low-grade Spirit Stones.”


    “Logan is refining the Holy Life Elixir, which can also extend life. Isn’t his promise more reliable than the Demon King’s? The Monster Beast n has never been known for keeping promises. Wen Chen Daoist is clearly trying to deceive you,” the Holy Daoist said in urgency, as he couldn’t afford to have this new ally turned against him. With the Emperor Weapon in his possession, facing a few more enemies wasn’t the issue, but who would protect Logan while he’s refining the pill? In a moment’s thought, he could be dead and gone.


    Wen Chen Daoist interrupted the Holy Daoist and persisted, “You, at the Quasi-Saint Realm, think you can refine the Holy Life Elixir? Dream on, the chances are high that you’ll fail. The Holy Daoist is the real deceiver here.”


    “Stop your bickering. Both sides want to win me over, so let me share my view. Indeed, the stakes offered by Wen Chen Daoist’s side arerge, enough to tempt anyone.”
