Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 675: A Sect’s Gamble
From the moment he failed his breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm, Fenon had always felt there was something seriously wrong with the contract he made with the Hall of Hundred Elixirs.
At first, he ignored that uneasy feeling.
He convinced himself that it was simply the frustration of a failed breakthrough.
The bitterness of being stuck at the Quasi–Soul Transformation Realm.
But as centuries passed, that unease only grew stronger.
After his recent interactions with the Eternal Shadow Guild, those buried doubts finally surfaced.
For the first time in thousands of years, Fenon began seriously thinking about one thing—freedom.
Freedom from the Hall of Hundred Elixirs.
Nevertheless, he did not want to rush things as he had been waiting.
Waiting for hope.
He believed that his disciple, the current Sect Leader of the Greenfire Sect, might one day break through to the Soul Transformation Realm and shatter the chains binding their sect.
As long as Bren succeeded, everything would change.
That was the hope Fenon had been clinging to for centuries.
But now, after his interaction with Ethan, that hope changed, and he decided not to wait anymore.
’If I continue waiting... we might never be free, and even if something goes wrong... at least Little Bren will survive and lead his own life free from being shackled to the Greenfire Sect.’
A complicated expression flashed across Fenon’s eyes.
Even though he loved the Greenfire Sect with all his heart, he cared more about his disciple.
For Fenon, even if the entire Greenfire Sect was destroyed in the process of gaining freedom, as long as Bren became free, he would have no regrets.
That’s right.
Even though Sect Leader Bren had not formed a contract with the Hall of Hundred Elixirs, he was no different from those who had.
As long as the Hall of Hundred Elixirs controlled the Greenfire Sect, Bren would be forced to follow their will.
He would remain bound as he was chained by responsibility.
So Fenon believed that even if the Greenfire Sect were destroyed while attempting to break free, at the very least, Bren would be liberated from those invisible chains.
"I-I... am willing. I am willing to take the risk."
Fenon gritted his teeth and made his decision.
Of course, there was another reason why he preferred joining the Azure Dragon Hall instead of the Eternal Shadow Guild.
The Eternal Shadow Guild was already one of the top organisations in the world, and it was not much different from the Hall of Hundred Elixirs; in fact, depending on the situation, they could become even more cruel.
If the Greenfire Sect joined them, they would simply become another expendable subordinate force.
But the Azure Dragon Hall was different.
It was new, rising, and looked ambitious... at least that’s what he felt from his little interaction with Ethan.
If they joined early, they would not be treated as disposable pawns; instead, they would become one of the founding forces.
As the Azure Dragon Hall grew stronger in the future, the Greenfire Sect—being among its earliest supporters—would naturally gain authority, resources, and influence.
Thinking of all this, Fenon chose to take the risk.
"Good."
Ethan nodded slightly when he saw the determination in Fenon’s eyes.
He briefly explained a portion of his plan.
’T-this...’
Fenon was visibly surprised by it... But after a moment of thought, he still nodded.
He didn’t fully understand Ethan’s confidence. But, in his current situation, there was nothing he could do other than believe Ethan.
"For now," Ethan said calmly, "You can leave the Azure Serpent Realm along with your disciples."
Fenon blinked in surprise.
Initially, Ethan had taken the Greenfire Sect’s core disciples hostage.
Anyone in Fenon’s position would have done the same.
Yet now... he was releasing them?
Seeing Fenon’s confusion, Ethan simply waved his hand.
"There is no need to keep them here anymore."
Originally, Ethan planned to hold the core disciples hostage until he secured the Greenfire Sect’s loyalty.
However, now that Fenon had already made his decision, there was no point in applying further pressure.
If anything, it might create unnecessary complications.
’More importantly... I don’t want to alert the Hall of Hundred Elixirs.’
Ethan’s eyes flickered slightly.
If he continued holding the core disciples hostage, the Hall of Hundred Elixirs might notice something unusual.
They might even send hidden supervisors or investigators into the Verdant Skymount Province.
At the end of the day, the Greenfire Sect and its core disciples were still valuable assets to them.
If those assets appeared to be in danger, they would definitely react.
And that was something Ethan could not allow right now.
’If I release them... the Hall of Hundred Elixirs will assume everything is under control.’
’They won’t waste resources sending anyone here.’
A faint smile appeared beneath Ethan’s mask.
Soon, he sent Fenon, the three Supreme Elders, and the core disciples out of the Azure Serpent Realm.
The Supreme Elders were curious about what the Grand Elder discussed with the mysterious cultivator from the Azure Dragon Hall; however, they remained silent throughout the journey.
.....
’Let’s wait for a few days until everything is settled before executing the plan to free the Greenfire Sect.’
After sending them away, Ethan didn’t rush to execute his plan to free the Greenfire Sect from the Hall of Hundred Elixirs.
By now, the Hall of Hundred Elixirs would know about the Greenfire Sect’s actions, and their cooperation with the Eternal Shadow Guild would also be known.
So, the Hall of Hundred Elixirs would pay more attention to the Greenfire Sect.
Thus, he decided to wait a few more days, as there was no deadline to the mission to free the Greenfire Sect.
’What should I do for the next few days?’
Ethan started thinking about the things he could do until then and decided,
’I think I should kill more Azure Serpent Fiend Kings and revive the Green Lotus Tribe members before taking care of the Bloodclaw Tribe.’
Thinking of the Bloodclaw Tribe, Ethan’s eyes filled with excitement as he felt it was about time he completed his revenge.
