All the creatures present heard what Langston had said. In an instant, it seemed that their guesses were right and they all knew what was happening in front of them.
"It seems that Langston is really following you," Tina said as she heaved a sigh of relief. "Tell me the truth, Ricky. Did you know from the start that people of the Spirit Sect would show up?
Was that why you decided to reveal your Golden Spirit Eyes?"
"Oh, Tina, you're overestimating me. We're on the same page. I didn't expect that the people of the Spirit Sect would come here, not to mention Langston coming here personally," Ricky said with a smile.
"The only reason why I activated the Golden Spirit Eyes was because I was left with no choice. Otherwise, I would be seriously injured. And if that happened, then I would not be able to use the Evil Devouring Mouth.
Of course, I didn't expect that Calvin would come, either. I can't believe that everything is so complicated now."
"All right. But that doesn't matter now. All that matters is whether Langston is sincere in looking for a genius, or not. If so, then it will be a lot easier to settle the matter, because we will know what to do," Tina explained.
"Well, I hope so!" Ricky replied.
Meanwhile, the Hong Clan could not be any happier. Initially, they had thought that they would eventually surrender to the Spirit Sect. However, it seemed that things turned out in their favor.
After all, there might be no reason for them to do that anymore, because their chief's future son-in-law was a genius who had drawn Langston's attention.
"Wait, are you serious? Langston, you said that we could find a peerless genius somewhere here, but I can't find any peerless genius aside from Carney," Calvin said in a threatening voice.
When it came to power or fame, the Spirit Sect was superior to the Chu Clan. Therefore, his threat didn't work on Langston because the people of the Spirit Sect were also there.
"Ha-ha, you must be kidding me, Calvin." Upon hearing Calvin's failed threat, Langston burst into laughter.
"Now that you think there is no other peerless genius in sight, then just forget what I said. After this, I'll take whomever I suspect is a peerless genius, and bring that person back to the Spirit Sect. I believe you won't stop me with my plan, will you?"
After saying his words, Langston pointed his finger at Ricky.
"Young man, would you like to accept my invitation to join the Spirit Sect? What do you think?" Langston invited Ricky without hesitation.
"I envy him so much!" one of the warriors burst out in envy as they could not help but get jealous about Langston's offer to Ricky.
On the other hand, they all understood that Ricky deserved the invitation. After all, he had already proven that not only was he superior to Carney's skills, but also more talented than Carney.
"Thank you very much, sir. It is an honor to be given a chance to join you," Ricky responded to the invitation without hesitation.
Of course he wouldn't refuse such a grand invitation. Otherwise, he would have to let the Evil Mandragora stand out and fight for him this time, which might cause terrible consequences in the long run. Moreover, it was absolutely a good thing for him to join such a powerful and respected force such as the Spirit Sect.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a domineering voice. "Stop, Langston! You can't take this man away."
"What did you just say? Why are you stopping me? Could it be possible that you want him to join the Chu Clan instead?" Langston asked with a little smirk on his face. "If so, then it would be entirely up to him. As spiritual emperors, we can't force him to do something out of his own will!"
"I think you may have misunderstood me, Langston. What I wanted to say is that I'm going to kill him. So for the sake of the Chu Clan, please don't get involved in this matter. If you want to recruit a genius, then allow me to look for other geniuses for you, just not him," Calvin said monotonously.
All the warriors were silent upon hearing his words. In fact, they didn't even dare discuss the matter even in low and hushed voices. As far as they knew, nobody could respond to Calvin except Langston regarding the matter.
"Now that they want to recruit a genius like you, they would obviously have to show you their sincerity. If you reveal your chaotic power, then I think Langston would say nothing more with Calvin," the Evil Mandragora said.
"Hey, look.
Langston, are you serious enough to stir up trouble between the Spirit Sect and the Chu Clan because of someone who is out of the picture?" Calvin threatened again, as he wanted to deescalate the tension.
"Ha-ha, that's not what I want either, but it seems to me that you are a little overbearing," Langston said with a smile. "If you still insist, then there's only one thing that I can tell you: the Spirit Sect is still the strongest force here. Let that sink in."
Calvin and the other members of the Chu Clan all sank into silence at Langston's words, their faces gloomy.
But they didn't dare say anything. The fact that the Chu Clan didn't have any middle spiritual emperor meant that they were not qualified to contend with the Spirit Sect.
With this, they thought that Carney was their only hope in the future.
"Ha-ha, I couldn't agree with you more. The Spirit Sect is indeed the strongest force in here," Calvin said as he burst into laughter after moments' silence.
But as far as everyone could tell, this wasn't a laughter of happiness, but rather a laughter of warning. From how he responded, Calvin wanted to let the Spirit Sect know that they were the strongest, but that could change in the blink of an eye.
"Ha-ha! Calvin, you are really so open-minded. Thank you so much for acknowledging us!" Langston said with a smile, ignoring Calvin's warning.
"Since you have already finished what you needed to do, you may leave in peace right now, Langston. The Chu Clan will have to stay, though, because we still have unfinished business," Calvin said with abandonment.
