Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 628: Chapter 389: Holy Heaven_2

“How is the situation with our sect?” Peregrine Azure nodded, asking as he walked ahead with Logan. Around them, over a hundred people had fallen into silence.

Peregrine Azure furrowed his brow. Could it be that something had happened to the sect? It was a while before the guard replied, “Ah, many forces in the Central Region are itching to make a move. The Sect Leader is under immense pressure. I fear that if things continue to deteriorate, a great battle will be inevitable within days!”

“No worries. Now that I’ve returned,no major chaos will arise in the Saint Sky Sect!” Peregrine Azure spoke seriously and, not daring to delay any further, he quickened his pace. Soon, he approached the mountain gate where several Elders of the Saint Sky Sect, who had received the news, were already waiting at the entrance of the sect.

As the group was still hundreds of meters away from the gate, Logan was stunned by the grand welcome. Although he expressed nothing explicitly, it was evident he was displeased. Clearly, it was unnecessary to deploy so many people to welcome back Peregrine Azure, a member of their own sect. There was no need for such formality.

It was obvious that they were there to welcome him, but being an insignificant nobody, the Saint Sky Sect probably wouldn’t even care to look at him properly! The only possibility was that Peregrine Azure had already sent word of his deeds to the Saint Sky Sect during their journey, which had raised their esteem for him.

After all, though the Saint Sky Sect was one of the Five Great Sects of the Central Region, in the presence of an Array Master capable of slaying a Holy See, they would naturally not put on airs, but would instead be exceedingly respectful, just as they were now. Logan realized this and hence felt somewhat displeased.

Peregrine Azure hadn’t mentioned it to him, yet he had communicated every detail of his activities back to the sect. Anyone would likely feel unhappy in his place! Logan felt as if he no longer had any secrets, but he also understood that his identity was definitely something he couldn’t hide.

Peregrine Azure was a clever man and quickly noticed that something was amiss. He hurriedly explained, “Actually… I didn’t go into details with the sect. I just briefly mentioned the situation. But news travels fast these days. I guess the whole Central Region already knows by now.”

“For instance, the City Lord we encountered earlier. There was curiosity and awe in his gaze. Clearly, he had received the news as well. After all, when you used your array to slay the Demonic Sky Taoist, everyone in the Western Wasteland saw it. There’s no hiding it.”

“I understand,” Logan revealed a smile and strode forward, “I don’t care about hiding my identity, but I hate it when others presume to know better. I’m here at the Saint Sky Sect merely as a guest. I have no intention of getting involved in the disputes of the Central Region, and I hope you can understand that.”

If the Saint Sky Sect was expecting him to take action now that he was here, they were certainly mistaken. The reason Logan had previously acted against the Demonic Sky Gate was simply that he had grievances with them. Otherwise, he would have remained an observer. Getting involved would undoubtedly lead to great consequences.

“Some within the sect may think that way, and I can’t deny it. After all, with the conflicts in the Western Wasteland over, the Central Region does need a Strong One to step forward. However, I, Peregrine Azure, can assure you that I won’t force you into difficult situations nor will I let anyone from the sect trouble you,”

Peregrine Azure continued to speak as they walked, “As long as I am here, my word is valid. After all, I am still the Vice Sect Leader. Even the Sect Leader has to give me some respect.”

The two had reached the sect gate, only a few steps away from the welcoming Elders. They greeted Logan with great warmth and enthusiasm. Logan, not one to be rigid, conversed effortlessly with them, after which the group entered the sect together.

At that moment, a dignified and impressive middle-aged man approached and greeted Logan, ushering him into the hall. A servant poured a cup of tea for Logan, and several others brought over an abundance of fruits and pastries. Fitting for one of the Five Great Sects of the Central Region, the fruits were all spiritual fruits.

The room fell dreadfully silent, and Peregrine Azure quickly stood up, “Allow me to introduce you two. This is our Sect Leader Aurelius Azure of the Saint Sky Sect. He may not be one to speak frivolously, but he is actually a very kind person.”

“And Logan and Bart Cloud are two friends from the Western Wasteland, here to visit the Saint Sky Sect.” Peregrine Azure took special care to emphasize the latter half of his statement to Sect Leader Aurelius Azure.

Aurelius Azure responded with a gentle smile, “Welcome to the Saint Sky Sect. Please, make yourselves at home.”Initially, he had intended to discuss the situation in the Western Wasteland, especially matters concerning the Demonic Sky Gate, but Peregrine Azure’s words clearly conveyed that Logan disliked such topics, so he refrained from broaching them.

A shadow dimmed in his heart, as he had originally thought Logan’s arrival could bring a glimmer of dawn to the complicated situation in the Central Region. Now it seemed he had been overly optimistic; expecting Logan to intervene as he dealt with the Western Wasteland Demonic Sky Gate easily was unrealistic and inconsiderate on his part.

“Thank you,” Logan said as he clasped his hands in a salutation. He had an uncertain understanding of the Central Region, so he decidedly would not take action; at this time, it was naturally best to keep silent on the matter. With Peregrine Azure’s words, Aurelius Azure would certainly not easily bring up the topic, so Logan felt no need to add to his troubles.

After some casual conversation, Aurelius Azure excused himself due to urgent matters, arranging for Logan’s accommodation in the most spiritually rich area of the Saint Sky Sect, which typically hosted other Sect Leaders. Clearly, Logan was deemed worthy of such esteemed guest treatment.

“The journey has been exhausting; you all rest first. If you need anything else, just contact a Servant,” Peregrine Azure said, leaving after giving a few instructions a moment later.

Bart Cloud was impressed and couldn’t help but say, “The spiritual energy here is so dense; truly fitting for the Saint Sky Sect. I feel that if I could stay here for a year or half, I would definitely break through from a complete Throne to a Dominator. It hasn’t been long since we arrived, but I can already feel my Realm’s threshold loosening.”

“It’s fine; we will probably be staying at the Saint Sky Sect for a few more days,” Logan said, tasting a sip of tea. He could tell, from Aurelius Azure’s demeanor and the sudden hurried departure, that the situation in the Central Region was complex; this was not typical behavior for the Sect Leader of one of the Five Great Sects of the Central Region.

“Didn’t you not want to get involved?” Bart Cloud asked, puzzled. If Logan wished to stay out of the quagmire of the Central Region, why would he make such a remark? If they were merely passing visitors to the Saint Sky Sect and would leave after a few days, what happened here would have no bearing on them.

Logan smiled, neither confirming nor denying, “Let nature take its course. If there’s a righteous need to intervene, I won’t shirk; otherwise, I will stay out of it and avoid entangling karma.”

Meanwhile, Peregrine Azure and Aurelius Azure were in a room, discussing the events in the Western Wasteland, recounting everything that had happened.

“Just like the latest rumors, Logan can actually set up an array to slay a Holy See; terrifying indeed!” Aurelius Azure couldn’t help but exclaim after listening. He was skeptical of the exaggerated rumors; how could a Holy See be so easily defeated?

Had he known Logan truly had the power to vanquish a Holy See, he might have personally gone to greet him. Even the Supreme Elder would be shocked by a young man with such ability upon returning.

Peregrine Azure glanced at the Sect Leader and continued, “In my view, Logan’s capabilities are far beyond this. At that time, he only used tens of millions of Spirit Stones. I believe that with enough Spirit Stones, his array’s power could be even greater. Have you ever seen an array that can invoke a Thunder Tribulation?”

“Ah, if only Logan would take action; those petty factions in the Central Region wouldn’t dare to act rashly anymore. They’ve been too rampant these past few days, giving us Five Great Sects quite the headache.”

Aurelius Azure sighed deeply and looked at Peregrine Azure, “With your relationship with Logan, can you persuade him to make a move? At least to intimidate those Sects, as the Central Region currently lacks even a single Holy See. If Logan steps in, no one would dare to be reckless!”

“I… don’t have much of a relationship with him!” Peregrine Azure said with a wry smile. “Sect Leader, think about it; I’ve only known Logan for a few days. The subtext of my words just now was to fear provoking Logan with an offensive remark. Logan is strong but reluctant to get involved in disputes.”

“Even in the previous case with the Western Wasteland, Logan simply observed until his personal grievances with the Demonic Sky Gate compelled him to act. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to request Logan’s involvement, and the Western Wasteland would not have regained peace in a single day; it would likely already have fallen to the Demonic Sky Gate.”

“If he has the capability, why wouldn’t he wish to help?” Aurelius Azure was earnestly bewildered. To seek detachment from the world, would he really stand by and watch living beings suffer?
