the day of the competition finally arrived with each representative arriving in the set location for the match, the golden empire arrived first, followed by the embass empire, purple jade empire, blue wind empire and Phoenix empire. since it was a competition involving all empire, the location selected for it is a place set aside by all empire agreed on by their ancestor when a peace treat was been signed amongst them to stop the war between them, this competition also was part of the peace threat, to further decide their power position and how to share the resources from the dimensional space.
when all emperors has exchange pleasantries and showing off a little they settled down for the competition to begin while the participants from the five empire standing on the stage, the match was about to proceed as it has always been. from the golden empire a youth name Luke was leading seven other, he is a blessed one with the blessing of a dark god. from all five empire only two are gifted with blessed youth, the golden empire And blue wind empire. though the empire has only one blessed one he is more powerful than the other four blessed one from blue wind, silver, Holman, Dexter and Jenny. the match kick off with other empire without blessed one, they know obviously they can't challenge the blessed ones, so they are happy to take up position after those two power maniac empire.
back at the Greenleaf sect, some people has invaded the sect and are hiding in the shadow searching fanatically for something or someone, searching for hours they still couldn't get what they are searching for, they met with another set of people who came for same purpose. expert from the assassin guild, realizing they can't find their target and have fail the mission, the took a communication talisman to communicate back to their respective leaders.
In the competition ground the battle is at the final stage. the two empire are about to show off. Alex step on the stage and was face with another cultivator from the empire with same 7 stage meridian refinement as Alex. when the match just began Alex admitted defeat and step down the stage. the elders of Greenleaf were all furious. the match continued like that. when it got to the other turn the same thing occurred, the sect leader and elders couldn't take it anymore and were burning red from anger, only the grand elder was with an indifferent expression but one will see him in deep thought.
when it came to Dexter turn he step in the stage and was face with silver from skyfire sect. silver gave a smug smile to him, giving him heads up to proceed with the plan. taking a peak at the sect leader of skyfire he received a confirmation nod. taking a deep breath he turn to jenny and the other with a loud voice he stated.
"I am not a forward like you guys, putting your hope on someone to claimed victory for you. I will fight with my own strength, you are all became a disgraceful whims to our sect ever since Dio came in our sect. let me guess Jenny you had a vision and this is the best way to make it come through right?"
"what is that bastard doing? why is he ratting out his own group" the elders and sect leader who is having a hard time to contain their rage erupt. a clear realisation hit the grand elder, now he understand why his disciples had refuse to fight and admitted defeat. but why is Dexter ranting that out bringing the other empire attention to this fact.
while that was said every other empire gave in kin interest, while skyfire took the lead.
"patriarch of Greenleaf from what we heard you have a new seeding whose power rival a blessed one but we can't see him here"
"patriarch you must have been misinformed, he doesn't rival a blessed one, he was just lucky with Dexter that all"
"when you mean lucky, you meant been able to beat a cultivator with 4 stage above his and took an attack on peer with a transformation stage expert head on and still live" golden empire emperor inquired.
tongue tie, the patriarch had no way to retort back from this, looking for a way out, the patriarch from royals made it worst.
"if I may add, that Dio is a rogue cultivator who practice a demonic art and is a wanted fugitives of ours, he stole from one of my Baron and attack them. he ran to you sect and you sheltered him. I never knew the great Greenleaf abhor criminals now"
"he is no criminal and doesn't practice any demonic art. maybe the Dio you are talking about is different from the one we have" grand elder rebuke back.
"you can tell that sh*t to yourself for all I care but it won't change the fact that we are sure that he is the criminal we are looking for and practice demonic art, turning to Dexter he ask, Dexter how did he withstand your last attack head on?"
"I don't know for sure senior but he some how increased his cultivation to seven rank, while his eyes turn bloodshot and veins bulging out over his body" Dexter replied.
grand elder and patriarch couldn't stand it anymore, roaring to Dexter
"what are you doing, is this some sought of way to get back at him for your defeat, you don't have to pull such stunts, step back and join the others now"
Dexter turned and walk down the stage, when he back his leaders he wore a satisfied smile.
"we've heard from your own disciple patriarch, you heard the boy, he practice an evil art and you know what we do to those that do that. hand the boy over so we can question him and confirm for ourself if the allegations leveled on him by the royals of your empire are true" golden emperor concluded.
"we can't do that. we will not bow our heads in fear, he is the successor of our sect and his innocent"
"do you want to go against everyone here just for a criminal?"
they didn't give any reply but stood firm with their decision, seeing this golden emperor gave a crude laugh while killing intent leak out of him.
"I will give you a second chance, hand over the boy" this time golden emperor was beaming with rage.
"we will stand by our word" grand elder replied
"then don't blame it on anyone. from today Greenleaf is a traitor to the federation and is been seen as a threat to the treaty signed by our predecessor. I here by vote for their extermination. who is in support?"
"the royals of blue wind give there votes"
"the skyfire sect gives their vote"
seeing the two strongest empire already agreed the embass empire gave his vote
the jade empire remain neutral and didn't give his vote, while the Phoenix empire vote against the extermination rule.
taking out a communication talisman, the Golden emperor, Royals of blue wind and skyfire gave the go order.
seeing this the patriarch and elder knew they have to get out of here, the patriarch gave the order to retreat with the young ones, a fight broke out, the jade and Phoenix created a path for Greenleaf sect to escaped back into their empire, since according to the rules set by the treaty, other empire must not step feet into another empire. if they could escape back they will only have to deal with the royal and skyfire. the fight became intense, some of the elder of Greenleaf fell but they were able to escape with their young ones back to their empire and head straight for their sect. but when they got there it was a gruesome sight to behold. the sect has been destroyed, many disciples and elders killed and the surviving once are in no better state.
