Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3302

Jerome and the others could not help but smile as well.

Nyx was a foreigner and did not truly understand Holtrien culture. However, the way she mimicked the gestures still looked sincere and oddly charming.

Luther smiled warmly and asked, "Young lady, what is your name?"

Nyx blushed and replied, "My name is Nyx Kerrigan."

Luther nodded and looked at Andrew with some regret. "If she had not broken her purity and come to cultivate at Mount Lourneau, she could have directly replaced me as the head of Mount Lourneau one day. What a pity…"

Andrew cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Johnston, honestly, having a good husband might give her a better future than suffering through years of cultivation up here. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."

Luther's eyes widened in exasperation, "Andrew, if you're going to talk like that, then we can't continue this conversation. Fine, besides the five major sects you mentioned earlier, there's also the Sword Sect, Thunder Sect, and the Harmony Sect."

Valerie asked excitedly, "May I ask, Mr. Johnston, is the Harmony Sect what I think it is?"

Luther's eyes widened, "Yes, and no. You must understand that the dual cultivation method has existed since ancient times. Its legacy continues to this day, and its power remains undiminished.

"The leader of the Harmony Sect, Madam Dorothy Fontaine, is an expert whose abilities are not much inferior to mine. If you think the Harmony Sect is some indecent or corrupt faction because of that, then you are gravely mistaken."

Andrew said, "I haven't actually seen anyone from the Harmony Sect moving about in the secular world."

Andrew replied calmly, "Even if we are going to lose, we can't just sit back and do nothing. Right now, war has already broken out at the Eastern Azure Gate. Those living on Holtrien land, especially the Ancient Sects that have enjoyed comfort for centuries, should step up as well."

Luther shook his head and replied, "That was exactly what the meeting discussed, but almost no one agreed to take action. Every faction only wanted to shut its doors and protect itself."

Andrew laughed loudly, but there was no humor in his eyes. He asked, "Then what if I force them to come out of seclusion?"

Luther turned serious and replied, "Then it is very likely that before the external threat is resolved, internal chaos will erupt once again."

Jerome, Valerie, and Eric all felt their expressions change slightly at those words.
