Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3306

As was typical of ancient sects, Thunder Sect was hidden deep within a blessed pocket of land.

At this moment, inside a vast mountain range, the Thunder Sect stronghold stood in silence. Within the main hall, Thunder Sect's leader, Rupert Hudson, wore a cold and grim expression as he looked down at more than 1000 disciples gathered below.

Then, he began questioning them. "Are you all willing to leave the mountain to fight? To risk your lives?"

The thousand disciples answered in unison, "We are not willing!"

Rupert nodded and asked again, "Then tell me, what's the true purpose of us cultivating and seeking the Way?"

The disciples answered once more, "To seek freedom and transcend the mortal world, and to escape the sea of suffering of ignorant men."

Rupert looked extremely satisfied and asked his final question. "Last question: are you people of Holtrien, or are you disciples of Thunder Sect? Do you listen to me, or to outsiders?"

The disciples roared in unison, "Until death, we are only disciples of the Thunder Sect. Besides the sect leader's orders, we listen to nothing else."

A smile appeared on Rupert's face, gradually turning into loud laughter. He turned his head to look at Julius, who sat nearby with gray hair and an expressionless face.

Rupert said, "What do you think? Are my disciples united in purpose? According to what you said, Andrew wants to come and force Thunder Sect to do things against our will. Who does he think he is? He's not worthy!"

His words were extremely domineering and confident, full of arrogance.

With that, he also sat down in the sect leader's throne.

Julius glanced at the Thunder Sect disciples' mental state and said flatly, "We still can't be careless. Even if your thousand Thunder Sect disciples are united, Andrew has considerable forces backing him as well."

Rupert replied arrogantly, "It's too bad that the Thunder Sect didn't enter the world to compete for dominance. Otherwise, the one standing in Holtrien's court wouldn't be Guillermo; it would be me!"

Julius admitted he himself was arrogant. Yet, Rupert was not just arrogant, but also somewhat foolish.

Unfortunately, he could not find a more suitable partner to cooperate with. Sword Sect had no one available, and Harmony Sect was not appropriate, since those women were always trying to dual-cultivate with him and take advantage of his peak martial god cultivation.

As for Mount Lourneau, Luther's stance was unclear, and he never gave Julius an opportunity.

Julius stood up with an indifferent expression. "Since there's no news of Guillermo, I'll go back to rest first. For now, our two sects are temporarily joining forces for mutual survival. If you have any questions, you can consult with me anytime."

Rupert said arrogantly, "No need. There's currently nothing the Thunder Sect can't handle on its own."
