The second Frank finished his sentence,
the ten saints who had just arrived dashed forward and surrounded Lloyd. Alone, none of these saints was a match for Lloyd in terms of strength and momentum.
However, their combined momentum easily surpassed Lloyd's.
Further, they had Frank on their side, who was easily as strong as Lloyd.
The air was heavy with oppression and anger.
All the warriors in the distance were looking at Lloyd, wondering what he would do next. There was no way he could defeat twelve saints all by himself unless he had become a medium saint.
The warriors around them began to discuss possible outcomes heatedly. "Lloyd is surrounded by the twelve saints. I think he is going to give up the white haired young man."
"Do you still think that they are here for Ricky?"
"Ricky was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, but he is no longer the reason for this confrontation. The Luo Clan is just using him as an excuse. Their main target is the wood branch. They have planned on annexing the wood branch and then slowly taking control of the Five-element Sect."
"So, how would you like to do this, old pal? The easy way, or the hard way?" Frank asked Lloyd, clasping his hands behind his back. From his demeanor, he seemed certain that everything was under his control.
He was looking around as if he was examining his own territory. Perhaps before his arrival, he had already treated the wood branch's territory as his own. After all, his eyes had been set on it for a long while now.
"I choose neither. No one can make me do something I don't want," Lloyd responded with a composed expression.
"Ricky, I need to borrow your Five-element Flag," he asked Ricky telepathically.
"No problem, Elder Lloyd!" Ricky nodded and threw the Five-element Flag to the elder.
"Oh my gosh! That's..." Everyone's eyes widened in surprise when they saw the flag.
After absorbing the five original energies in the Five-element Sect's ancestral land, the flag was almost completely fixed. It was yet to develop the hermit spirit but even without that, it was an incredible treasure. As soon as Ricky took it out, it released an enormous amount of power characteristic of a spiritual weapon at the intermediate stage of Sage Level.
"Am I dreaming or is that really what I think it is?"
"How come Ricky has such a powerful sacred weapon in his possession?" Despite their shock, whoever saw it began to stare at the Five-element Flag greedily. Their avarice was dripping from their eyes.
No creature could resist the temptation of a sacred weapon. Perhaps the demi-spiritual potentates or spiritual potentates could control themselves, but not ordinary cultivators.
"Hang on. That is the Five-element Flag. It is the most sacred weapon of the Five-element Sect. It's been lost for hundreds of years. How did he come by it?" an old spiritual emperor exclaimed in shock when he recognized the flag.
"What? That's the Five-element Flag?" The warriors around him were shocked to hear that.
Frank and the other saints found the news equally incredible, but their surprise was soon replaced by excitement.
They hadn't expected that the Five-element Flag would ever be found. Now, once they annexed the wood branch, the Five-element Flag would be theirs.
'What a day! I can't believe I am going to get my hands on a spiritual weapon at the intermediate stage,' Frank thought to himself, overtaken by thrill.
"Congratulations, fella. You've got the long-lost sacred weapon of your sect back," Frank congratulated with a fake smile as his gaze shifted from the flag back to Lloyd.
"Thank you anyway, although I know you didn't mean that. I hope you can still laugh once you witness its power," Lloyd responded.
"Ha-ha! Sure. I'd like to see what this sacred weapon of your sect can do." Frank laughed.
The next moment, his entire momentum surged out like the high tide. Seeing him make a move, Walt and the other saints also gathered their strength.
The battle was about to begin.
The warriors around them were terrified when they felt the oppressive atmosphere and quickly distanced themselves further from the saints. They didn't stop running until they thought that they were at a safe distance from the battlefield.
Once they managed to settle down, the discussions began once more. "Do you think the Lloyd can stand his ground against the twelve saints by using the Five-Element Flag?"
