Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Cheat with Style

"The Great Demon Sect's Battleship is headed here? Are you sure it's them?" another Elder asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite the rising panic.

Elder Wei nodded. "The scouts have confirmed it. We have little time to prepare. They should be here in a few minutes."

Many Great Elders had hoped that this was going to be a misunderstanding. But when it was confirmed that the Demon Sect was heading for this place, the room erupted into chaos.

The Great Elders began to argue amongst themselves, their voices overlapping with each other. Some suggested immediate surrender, while others demanded to prepare for a fight.

"If we surrender, we might survive! Why fight when we can't win?!"

"Do you think that they will let us live if we surrender?! Did you forget the time when that emotionless Demoness went to eradicate the sects? Those who surrendered were still annihilated!"

"If we surrender, we might die even faster!"

The arguments kept increasing as more and more elders started panicking.

"Enough!" A cold voice cut through the chaos. It was Great Elder Lian, the oldest and most respected among the Great Elders. "It is true. If the Demon Sect has decided to destroy us, surrendering won't save us."

"Do we have no choice but to fight? How about we run away?" Another Great Elder asked.

"Do you think the Demon Sect won't expect that? It might even lead us to our deaths faster," Great Elder Lian responded.

"So, we can only fight and accept our fate? Is that what you are saying?"

"No! I'm saying we might fight and win, but if we don't fight, we will only lose! The Demon Sect is arrogant. I don't think they'll send their Great Elders to destroy us. Even Feng Yu won't come personally."

"And I doubt they would send more than one Elder since they look down on us after how easily our Sect Master was killed. If that's the case, we might actually have a chance!"

"How would we have a chance? Even if it's just one Elder and a few disciples, that's more than enough. How can we kill someone who even the Sect Master couldn't?!" someone argued back.

What did he mean they only had to kill the Great Elders of the Asura Sect? It was easier said than done, especially for them. Even killing ordinary Elders might be hard for them.

Eren told him that they just had to kill everyone except the Sect Master like they weren't killing powerful cultivators but going on shopping.

Unfortunately, there was nothing else they could do about it. Instead of dying at Eren's hands, it was better to take the risk which came with high rewards.

Moreover, they didn't think Eren was a fool. Why would he choose them if he thought they couldn't do it? Failing here could only bring embarrassment to the Demon Sect after all.

Hence, they believed that there were only two possibilities. First was that Eren was lying about not fighting in this battle. He was going to get involved.

As for the second possibility, it was that the mission looked hard but they could actually complete it without anyone's help.

Was it because the Elders of the Asura Sect were weaker than them? Was their reputation exaggerated? They weren't sure.

....

There were a few small cities established around the Asura Sect. But when the citizens saw the giant ship hovering above their cities, they were horrified.

They saw the Battleship fly past their cities and towards the Asura Sect. Many citizens wondered if something big was about to happen.

Only a few of them had recognised the Battleship as one that belonged to the Great Demon Sect.

Soon, the Battleship reached the Valley where the Asura Sect was established.

The sect's protective formations glowed with a bright light, as if challenging the Asura Sect.

Eren looked at the formation and smiled.

Along the way, I thought about all the different ways I can cheat to complete this option. But this truly seems like the best option. Since I'm going to cheat, I will cheat with style.'
