Fade tried to be patient. He followed Blood Lord and walked to the lake, ready to step onto the only stone bridge leading to the stone castle in the center of the lake.
However, just as they were about to step on the stone bridge, there was a burst of cold sneers coming from the side.
"Blood Witch Sect, you are late, but now you want to be the first to go on the bridge. You're quite arrogant, aren't you?"
Hearing the voice, Fade and Blood Lord turned their heads, and then saw a middle-aged man in a black robe with cold eyes coming over with a smirk.
"Since when did the Dark Witch Sect have the right to intervene in the matters of the Blood Witch Sect?" Blood Lord snorted coldly and responded.
Obviously, the person in front of him was the hierarch from the Dark Witch Sect, Dark Lord.
"I'm not interested in interfering in your Blood Witch Sect's matters. It's just that your Blood Witch Sect is so arrogant. Can't I comment on it?" Dark Lord continued to say coldly.
As Blood Lord was about to say something, another scoff was heard.
"How old are you now? You're still acting like a child, bickering over such a small matter. Don't you think it's ridiculous? I feel ashamed of you all!"
As soon as these words came out, Dark Lord and Blood Lord both turned their heads around at the same time and looked at the person who spoke.
The man was short, only 1.5 meters tall. He looked like a child among the others.
However, the clothes he was wearing were very unique.
That was because the clothes were pieced together by colorful pieces of cloth. Furthermore, there were many tiny pockets sewn onto them. It was rather eye-catching.
"Does this matter have anything to do with the Venom Witch Sect?" Blood Lord snorted coldly and spoke unhappily.
Dark Lord was even ruder. He gave Venom Lord a sarcastic glance and sneered.
"You're saying that we're like kids? I think someone else is the real kid."
Upon hearing this, the face of Venom Lord instantly turned unpleasant.
Even the atmosphere in the team of the Venom Witch Sect became intense.
That was because they all knew that Venom Lord, who was the hierarch of the Venom Witch Sect, had incomparable power. His elusive methods of using poisons were even more terrifying.
However, he really hated it when people judged his height.
Ten years ago, the leader of a small sect discussed Venom Lord's height in private.
In the end, Venom Lord went straight to the leader's sect after learning about it. He destroyed the whole sect, captured the leader of the sect, and tortured the person with all sorts of venomous bugs and poisons for a total of nine days.
In the end, the person completely lost his human appearance and died miserably from extreme pain.
It was also because of this that Venom Lord's height became a prohibited topic among the witchcraft practitioners. They did not dare to talk about it at all.
Now, Dark Lord directly teased him over his height, and this in turn angered Venom Lord.
However, Dark Lord obviously was not someone easy to deal with either. When he noticed that the Venom Witch Sect wanted to fight, he waved his hand and said, "If you want to fight just go on. You think I'm afraid of you, dwarf?"
"You're asking for death!" Venom Lord was even more furious. The positive energy in his body began to circulate, and the atmosphere between both parties became extremely intense.
At this moment, the people around them retreated one after another, making space for them to fight.
Blood Lord also took the initiative to step back with a smile on his face. After all, he was more than happy to see such a scene.
If the Venom Witch Sect and the Dark Witch Sect were to fight at this moment, both of them would suffer great losses. Later on, when the Blood Witch Sect competed for the position, there would be fewer competitors.
"Haha, to be honest, how is stating a fact considered to be a provocation?" Dark Lord said coldly. "Aren't you a dwarf?"
"You..." Venom Lord was furious. He waved his fist.
Seeing that he was going to make a move, Dark Lord did not hold back and threw a punch at him directly.
While they were about to start fighting, Sky Lord made his move and blocked their attacks with a crack at the critical moment.
Then, his voice became solemn. "Today is the day of the Witchcraft Conference, and the Witch Lord will also be here. Do you really want to start a fight right now?"
As soon as he mentioned the Witch Lord, the faces of Dark Lord and Venom Lord changed at the same time. They snorted coldly, gave up the intention to fight, and stepped aside.
Upon seeing this, Sky Lord's solemn expression once again changed back into a smiling one.
After taking a look at Venom Lord and Dark Lord, he walked towards Blood Lord.
"Blood Lord, I heard that you were attacked by someone yesterday because of some incident? Are you alright?" Sky Lord took the initiative to speak.
When Blood Lord heard this, his expression changed instantly. The expression of Fade, who was behind him, also became serious.
However, Blood Lord quickly adjusted his expression and he said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Sky Lord. It was just an invader who didn't know his place. It was settled right away, so it was nothing."
"That's good." Sky Lord nodded his head and then walked over to the stone bridge.
After the conflict earlier, there was no one fighting for the chance to step on the bridge.
They walked through the bridge one after another and arrived at the stone castle in the center of the lake.
