"He is invoking Clause 8 of the Pact between the Sects and the Empires!"
City Lord's rebuttal drained the blood from Zhi Yang's face. The Clause 8 of the Pact had never been invoked in disputes of this level.
In fact, the existence of the Pact itself was long forgotten by the tier 3 powers. They followed just one rule - Never involve the Sects or Schools in their disputes.
Zhi Yang, though familiar with the Pact, had also overlooked the existence of Clause 8. This clause had the potential to overturn all the efforts his Sect put into raising the Monstrous Flame Sect to its current strength.
Enraged, he glowered at the Second Elder.
"This is all your fault, you incompetent fool! If you had won the damn tournament, we could have slowly weakened the City Lord's influence and taken over the City."
The Second Elder lowered his head with shame. After venting his dissatisfaction, Zhi Yang regulated his breathing to calm his anger.
