?Chapter 4209 The Provocation


    "That''s possible..."


    Dn nodded in agreement. Now that the legacy had been obtained by someone, it was indeed possible that Cauldron Peak would copse.


    Wyatt nced at Thaddeus and the others who had already descended the mountain, then whispered, "Everyone, there''s something I need to discuss with you. Please follow me to a more secluded spot."


    Wyatt intended to expose Thaddeus'' n of allying with Sky sher Sect against all the alchemists.


    Regardless of whether Dn and the others believed him or not, he was going to spill the beans.


    In response, the curious Dn followed Wyatt toward a secluded area with the others.


    At that moment, Thaddeus was staring at the copsed Cauldron Peak, his brows furrowed in frustration. "D*mn it," he muttered, "I didn''t manage to obtain the Medicine God''s legacy or find any treasures, and now it''s copsed. Such rotten luck."


    "President Surrey, I don''t see anyone from the Dupont family. Could it be possible that none of them managed to escape?" Ernesto said.


    Only then did Thaddeus realize that not a single person from the Dupont family, including Vincent, had shown up.


    His expression turned grim, his demeanor frosty as he said, "If there''s not a single person from the Dupont family to be found, it''s not that they didn''t manage to escape. Rather, they might have all been murdered before Cauldron Peak copsed."


    "Murdered? Who could have possibly wiped out the entire Dupont family?"


    Ernesto was slightly taken aback.


    "Was someone scheming against us while we were plotting to kill them?"


    After Thaddeus finished speaking, he turned his gaze toward Wyatt and the others.


    He was still unaware that Wyatt had already discovered their n.


    Maxence hurriedly approached the group of alchemists and eximed loudly, "Everyone, Cauldron Peak has already copsed. I urge you all to leave Medicine God Ind as quickly as possible. I have prepared the spirit ship for you. The Sky sher Sect has suddenlyunched an attack on the ind, and my father has already gone to fend them off. I urge you all to leave as soon as possible, or it may be toote."


    "What? Sky sher Sect has attacked the ind?"


    Many were left confused, for they had absolutely no idea what was going on.


    A faint smile yed on Thaddeus'' lips. "I didn''t expect the Sky sher Sect to keep their word. They really didunch their attack ahead of time."This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    "President Surrey, should we also take action?" asked Ernesto.


    "Let''s just wait and see for now. We''ll observe their reaction first. Now that Cauldron Peak has copsed, Medicine God Ind has lost its significance. What if we take action now and Sky sher Sect suddenly withdraws? By then, wouldn''t we be public enemy number one? We would be outcasts in Ethereal Realm," Thaddeus borated.


    Now that Cauldron Peak had copsed, Medicine God Ind had lost its value. If Sky sher Sect were to learn of it, they surely wouldn''t have gone to such great lengths, especially for a worthless ind.


    If Sky sher Sect were to withdraw, Thaddeus and his men couldn''t possibly take on all the alchemists of Ethereal Realm.


    "President Surrey, your analysis is correct. For now, we''ll just wait and see how things unfold."


    Ernesto gave a nod.


    "Observing the situation is only the first step. Next, we need to encourage these individuals to resist Sky sher Sect. Only then can Sky sher Sect attack them. But now, Medicine God Ind is no longer suitable as a battlefield. As long as we incite these people to resist Sky sher Sect. It will just be a matter of time before we profit from their conflict," Thaddeus said with an air of smug satisfaction.


    "Exactly, let Sky sher Sect sh with these people. We''ll clean up the messter. Your strategy is truly brilliant," Ernesto replied in a ttering manner.


    At that moment, Wyatt had already informed both the Zorn and Zeever families about Thaddeus'' conspiracy. When they learned that Thaddeus was colluding with Sky sher Sect, many were filled with righteous indignation. However, no one chose to address it at that time, pretending to be oblivious instead.


    "Mr. Maxence, we came to Medicinal God Ind to hold the Alchemist Fair. Now that Sky sher Sect has attacked us, how could we possibly flee? When ites to Demonic Cultivators like those in Sky sher Sect, everyone must take it upon themselves to punish them. We, too, have an undeniable responsibility. We simply cannot allow the inhabitants of Medicine God Ind to bear this burden alone. We should all band together and resist Sky sher Sect..." Thaddeus stepped forward, speaking in an inspiring tone.
