"Dax!"
Chester, who was able to sense Dax's fury, took a deep breath. In a low voice he muttered, "Let's not be rash with our decisions. We came to the Five Poison Sect this time to take down Skylar Blanc. When we are settled with him, we can take on the Heavenly Alliance then."
"I know you are unsettled by the deaths of our brothers and sisters, but you must think in terms of the bigger picture."
At these words, Dax took a huge gulp of air. He suppressed his anger.
"All members of the Heavenly Alliance, take orders!"
At this, the Heavenly Alliance horde gathered to the front. Grunt cast a cursory gaze in a circle, before calling out, "Surround the Carters. Every last one of them."
Grunt, at this point, had completely lost it. He had lost all sense and logic one from the Godly Region usually had.
"Got it!"
The Heavenly Alliance horde responded in unison, their cry of agreement ringing through the highest of clouds. They surged forward, completely surrounding every member of the Carter clan!
F*ck!
Chester, Dax and everyone else could not help but fly into a rage at this.
We, the Carters, were able to put aside our vengeance with the Heavenly Alliance to address the bigger problem at hand. These bastards, on the other hand, showed no mercy. Whatever happened to mutual respect across the land?
What was their problem?
At the same time, the other sect masters there frowned as well.
Zhu Bajie, the Divine Farmer and Chang Er, were particularly displeased.
"Grunt…"
Eventually, Chester managed to come to his senses. He said coldly to Grunt, "What do you mean? Do you think we're easy to take on?" he bristled, long sword poised in his grasp.
Dax, from the side, whipped out his Sky Breaking Ax as well.
Grunt remained suspended in mid-air, his expression grim. "Less talking, more action. I vow to take down the Carters today, lest I never return to the Godly Region!"
Upon saying so, Grunt looked around him. He called out to the other sect masters, "This is a private vengeance between the Carters and I! No one else dare be involved, retreat immediately!"
"I, Grunt, will leave no one who stops me from taking down the Carters today alive!"
His robust voice rang through the crowd, brimming with ominousness.
How reckless!
The crowd blinked in confusion, realization dawning upon them one by one.
Darryl Darby really was quite something, wasn't he? Going as far as to take the woman Grunt loved from him.
Zhu Bajie, too, was shocked. He recovered quickly enough, smiling thinly.
Ha… good on you, brother Darryl! You had the guts to take the beloved woman of a Special Envoy from the Godly Region. He had to admit he was impressed.
Zhu Bajie's nature was rooted in lust, thus making him sensitive to all topics in regards to women. He did not know who Grunt's beloved was then, but if Darryl was able to steal her heart— well. Zhu Bajie would have no choice but to root for Darryl.
As he drew his conclusion, Zhu Bajie cast a glance towards Grunt with the ghost of a smile on his face. "And here I was, thinking what this was about! This was it? Isn't the only thing to blame here your own lack of competence? What place do you have, blaming Darryl?"
A smattering of laughter broke out among the crowd at those words.
Even Chang Er, to the side, had flushed a few bashful shades of red. She turned to Zhu Bajie to complain. "Look at you, running your mouth again."
Grunt's anger could not be more ablaze. His face flashed grotesque shades of green and white.
"All members of the Heavenly Alliance, take orders!"
Grunt could hardly wait, getting straight to the point as he roared. "Take down every last member of the Carter. Spare no man. Whoever dares meddle by helping will be taken down too…"
