The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1241

“Lady Jingle, we might have offered very good terms, but Peyton is known for his ruthlessness, so no one dares to stand against him. Besides, he has Divine Beast Sect on his back, so no one dares to challenge him,” another elder explained.

“I don’t believe no one will stand up for us if I use myself as the reward,” Cecilia snapped, the frown on her brows deepening.

The elders lowered their heads in silence.

“Change the terms on the announcement. I will marry anyone who takes down Peyton,” Cecilia remarked, clenching her jaw.

“Lady Jingle! This cannot be! You can't be the head of the clan anymore if you marry! This is our tradition!” an elder quickly advised.

“Millie can take over. There's no other way. I can't just let everyone in Crimson Palace die in Peyton's hands! That man is a beast! He has eyed Crimson Palace for years. Now that he is the godson of Divine Beast Sect, he's doing as he wishes. We all know how many women he has killed. None of them came out in one piece! I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the whole Crimson Palace!” the lady said tragically.

The elders could not say otherwise because they knew that was their only way out in the face of Peyton, an enemy with the ability equivalent to a Semi Martial Arts Marquis.

Cecilia was an Eighth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster, so she was no match for Peyton.

Moreover, that man had got the support of Divine Beast Sect.

Their prospects were grim because, at that rate, they were not even sure if anyone would take up the charge, even when Cecilia had put herself up as a reward.

Two days went by without any news.

No one came forward, although Cecilia had promised to marry anyone who would face Peyton. Divine Beast Sect was the strongest in the South, and no one had the gut to provoke them.

As for martial artists from other places, there was no good reason for them to antagonize Divine Beast Sect. After all, no one would be able to win without home advantage.
