“Master, you can't break this Mountain Defense Formation!” Sigurd hastily said.
“What's the matter? How am I to bring the men in if I don't break it?” Hosen asked, perplexed.
“Master, Emerald Cauldron Sect will eventually be yours. Anything you break in Emerald Cauldron Sect will be akin to destroying your own possessions. Do you know how many resources we had to use to create this Mountain Defense Formation? If you destroy it now, you may not have the same resources to rebuild a similar one after becoming the sect leader. Even if you do, how much resources do we need to spend on that? If Helius finds out that you've ruined the Mountain Defense Formation, what will he think?”
Sigurd's barrage of questions baffled Hosen.
In fact, when Helius' name was mentioned, Hosen paled.
Although he had brought the men from Norwal City with him and was fearless of everyone from Emerald Cauldron Sect, he was still afraid of Helius.
After all, Helius was a cultivator who had achieved Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm. If they were to alert Helius to this, they would be all doomed.
“But if I don't break the formation, how am I supposed to enter and get back the title of sect leader?”
“Master, I've discussed this with Mr. Samoll. Don't break the formation first. Mr. Samoll and I will try to subdue Mr. Erdell. When he deactivates the Mountain Defense Formation, you'll be able to retake control over the sect without bloodshed! If you barge in by force, a massacre will definitely ensue. You'll be killing your future disciples!”
Upon realizing that Hosen had believed him, Sigurd swiftly provided him with more reasons.
Hosen nodded fervently. He turned to Zsolt and said, “General Kinsley, stop! Stop right now! Stop breaking the formation...”
“What's wrong, Mr. Holt?”
Zsolt was evidently displeased by the interruption.
