Chapter 818: Confidence
[Planet Xandria – Home World of Elder Lance – Ten Minutes Before Arriving at The Sect]
A few hours ago, when Kent learned of the scheme of the Elders, he briefly entered the tower to ask the Elders of the Bloodvein tribe if they could help him for a few days.
Naturally, they were more than happy to do so.
Even the Tribe Chief joined them, and along with the four of them were 16 other powerful warriors. They wanted to see how far they had grown, so they brought them along.
Thanks to the tower, each received a teleportation token, and that was how they managed to get to planet Xandria.
It’s a vast human world that shares connections with a few other worlds, so there are a few beings from those worlds.
It isn’t too big, but it isn’t small either. However, a powerful cultivator like the tribe chief can travel to the other side of the world in under ten seconds.
So Sonox is much larger.
Tribe Chief Malthar and his elders were warmly received upon their arrival.
They were also handled with care, and aside from the special elders selected by Elder Lance, nobody else knew they were there.
This was why, a few minutes ago, when 45 powerful Dark Elves, demons, and Elves appeared surrounding the place, everyone was shocked to see 20 red-skinned beings, with strengths so overwhelming that when Tribe Chief Malthar unleashed his aura, all 45 attackers were sent crashing down.
It was a one-sided massacre that lasted a minute.
On the other side of the world, too, more people were purged a few minutes later, since at the very moment the main strike force was handled, the rest tried to flee and were swiftly dealt with.
The chaos that was supposed to happen never did. Instead, it was a complete and total purge of all filth planted by the Elders of the sect, which appeared to have been years in the making.

[Supreme Immortal Sect – Inner Section – Grand Hall]
Supreme Elder Esper sat in his chair, looking coldly at Elder Lance, who had just been brought into the Grand Hall by three elders. Aside from them were seven other elders, Supreme Elder Jian, and the five other elders from the outer section.
He was questioned after Elder Mikko brought him, but as planned, he made sure the five elders corroborated his story.
They almost got a free pass. However, Elder Lance is a master Schemer than they are.
During the questioning process, one of the Inner sect elders made a new discovery.
He managed to pick up another rumor that Elder Lance had gone to Sonox with two disciples. He doesn’t know who these disciples were, for there are many, and it will take time to gather them all and question them.
However, the rumor stated that Elder Lance instructed the disciples to release the video. There was no reason why he did that, but this was already enough to tell Supreme Elder Jian they had been played.
So they found a way to send a message to his men in Elder Lance’s world, with plans to capture his wives and children, perhaps kill a few to make him aware of what was wrong.
They knew he could contact his people, and they could contact him, so the plan was for him to hear the voices of his captured family before he even got back to the sect.
The order was given, and the outcome was now to be determined the moment Elder Lance was brought to the hall.
Supreme Elder Esper cleared his throat and spoke, “I am going to give you one chance to tell me why you deem it okay not to report the fact that a disciple from Sonox had managed to master not one, but twelve divine grade techniques.
Pick your words well, Elder, else I will kill you where you stand.”
Elder Lance shuddered and, for a moment, broke into a cold sweat—not out of panic but from the sheer fear he felt from the sound that just entered his ears.
He turned slightly and looked into the cold gaze of Supreme Elder Jian’s eyes. Those eyes spoke all the threats in the world, and Elder Lance understood his task.
He looked at Supreme Elder Esper and answered, “But I did report. It was the first thing I did when I returned from Sonox six days ago.
I reported to Supreme Elder Jian, Elder Aster, Elder Aren, Elder Xior, Elder Kenna, and Elder Lewin. I told them everything in detail, but I guess they were too scared to tell you.
And oh, among the hundred disciples I brought today, three are above one hundred years old, but I saw it best to add them, for they are among the twelve that made it to the fifth floor.
And while we are at it, you should also know that the human named Kent Madson actually managed to learn all twelve divine-grade techniques in under an hour.
If you don’t believe me, you can test him and you will find out how talented he is.”
“Wait, did you say the hundred disciples you brought? Shouldn’t there be two hundred of them?” Elder Mikko asked.
She is in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall in the Inner Section of the sect, and as someone who maintains discipline, she could smell something fishy.
Elder Lance looked at Supreme Elder Jian, whose fist was clenched, and smirked.
“Supreme Elder Jian should answer that because, as far as I know, only 100 slots have been given to Sonox, so I brought 100.
Actually, while I have the chance to speak, I would like to play an audio.”
Elder Lance took out a recording crystal and played an audio he recorded of his interaction with the elders when he reported the flame tower trial, and another audio of when they told him their plan to kill the disciples.
“They will tell the rest, but I would like to clarify that your scheme was flawed, Elder Jian. You picked the wrong target this time, which is why you failed.
Your men are dead. My people took care of them just ten minutes ago. Every last one of them snuffed out of existence.”
They say when the ball is in your court and the enemy is cornered, words flow like a river. At the moment, Elder Lance was holding the ball, and thanks to Kent, Supreme Elder Jian was cornered.
“You deem humans as trash, that we are nothing but weaklings. But I beg to differ, for if you put a human and a thousand dragons in a room, before the human dies, half of the dragons will be dead.
It wasn’t because the dragons are weak; it was because humans are naturally born schemers. We aren’t the brightest, nor the weakest, but we are survivors, and that was your mistake.
Threatening me with the lives of my fellow humans was your mistake. Now, you must bear the consequences.”
Mic drop.
If this were Earth, there would be a mic drop, as Elder Lance had delivered one hell of a performance, one that had already sealed the fate of the six elders.
Supreme Elder Esper looked coldly at Supreme Elder Jian, whose back broke into a cold sweat.
“I am disappointed to even look at you. To think—”
Before the Supreme Elder could continue his words, the whole hall turned cold, freezing cold. Then, suddenly, like glass breaking, the bodies of the Supreme Elder and the five elders shattered.
That’s how the six senior elders of the Outer Section of the Supreme Immortal Sect died, and the Mistress of Mirrors made her appearance.
