Chapter 423: Paired Up, A Spring for the Bloody Wolf Group
“Oh? Is that so?” Sean’s eyebrows furrowed slightly in surprise. The development was faster than he had expected. He gestured and said, “Tell me the details!”
“Okay!” Spring nodded and said, “According to General’s orders, Howard Taylor and I went to the provincial capital and occupied the villa of the number one noble family, the Harris family!”
“Then!”
“We showed our might and ruthlessness!”
“After three days of fermentation, the name ‘Hall of Swords’ was known far and wide among the major families. Everyone feared and respected it.”
“So far, a total of eighteen major families that met the General’s requirements have joined the Hall of Swords. Each family has a cultivator at the Complete Stage overseeing them.”
“In total!”
“Twenty-one Complete Stage cultivators!”
In other words!
Some individual families had more than one Complete Stage cultivator!
As she spoke, Spring took out a piece of paper and handed it to Sean, indicating, “This is the list of those families. Please take a look, General!”
Sean glanced over it and smiled. “Well done!”
To be able to subjugate eighteen major families in one province within three days, Spring, Howard Taylor and the others had obviously put their hearts into it, working vigorously without a moment’s rest!
“There’s more…” Spring immediately took out another piece of paper and explained, “Before I came, Karen Smith and Ernest Mason sent a message on your orders that the entire province is now under their control!”
“These…”
“Are the lists of families they subjugated, sixteen families in total, with eighteen Complete Stage cultivators!”
It was already very good to be able to gather twenty or so Complete Stage cultivators in one province!
“Good!”
“Very good!”
Hall of Swords’ frenzied and smooth expansion was a pleasant surprise for Sean. He secretly calculated and said in a deep voice, “Thirty-nine in South Province, eighteen in North Province, totaling fifty-seven, plus Ernest Mason’s group, nearly fifty Complete Stage cultivators. Such a powerful force, as long as we can unite them and get them to work together, even if we go to the capital, we can pierce the heavens there!”
“Therefore!”
“We must lay down roots and establish a foothold, win over people’s hearts and minds!”
“It was easy to get them to join the Hall of Swords, but to make them truly accept and submit to the Hall of Swords from the bottom of their hearts is not so easy. Many of them probably joined with the mentality of muddying the waters or riding the fence. What you need to do next is to find ways to completely eliminate such mentality of theirs!”
The members of the Hall of Swords were mixed, unlike the Bloody Wolf Group where all were Sean’s brothers in life and death battles, or the White Army where all were Sandals’ direct disciples. With dozens of major families gathered, each an old treacherous fox, it was inevitable that they had their own hidden agendas and power struggles!
It was easy to form the Hall of Swords!
However!
It would be anything but easy to increase the cohesion of the Hall of Swords!
“I understand!” After some thought, Spring respectfully said, “Please rest assured, General, I will go and arrange it!”
With that, Spring turned and left, leaping up and departing the cave to continue overseeing the Hall of Swords’ affairs outside.
“General Wolf! This…”
“This this this…”
“Damn!”
Spring’s conversation with Sean still echoed in the minds of those Bloody Wolf pups even after she left. Two provinces, dozens of major families, nearly fifty Complete Stage cultivators…
Damn!
Just what kind of existence was this so-called Hall of Swords? The terrifying might of the White Army had already shocked them. Yet the Hall of Swords sounded even more awesome and frightening!
Facing the stunned and astonished looks of the pups, Sean smiled faintly and casually said, “The Hall of Swords is also a newly formed group. Families with Complete Stage cultivators in them are the minimum requirement to join.
“Coincidentally…”
“I am the master of the Hall of Swords…”
Ah!
The moment Sean’s words fell, the pups couldn’t help but gasp. Their already somewhat green faces turned even greener, then purplish green, then purplish black!!!
One of the pups asked with a bitter expression, “So General Wolf formed two more groups while we were away?”
“And!”
“They are both groups made up primarily of Complete Stage cultivators?”
“Now!”
“General, you are the General Wolf of the Bloody Wolf Group, the General of the White Army, and also the master of the Hall of Swords???”
As he uttered these words, the pup’s mouth trembled and his heart bled!
Thump!
Listen, that’s the sound of a broken heart…
And reality was just that cruel. Sean nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice, “Remember! From now on, you are no longer the old Bloody Wolf Group! The enemies we are about to face are no longer just the regular North Kingdom troops!”
“From now on!”
“Only Complete Stage cultivators have the qualification to follow me in conquering the land, only they have the ability to protect themselves!”
“Therefore!”
“From the moment you entered the cave of Hill of Swords, all your past achievements and glory are reset to zero!”
“Everything!”
“Must start from scratch!”
“Your primary and only task is to stay here, use the Sword of God to focus on cultivating, and improve your realm and strength as quickly as possible!”
“Before you reach the Complete Stage, you are not allowed to leave the mountain!!!”
Sean’s voice was low and sonorous, his tone resolute, his expression extremely solemn, not joking at all! The pups before him were still young, all in their twenties. They were used to being domineering on the battlefields of the North and were full of arrogance. He had to take this opportunity to temper them properly!
Most of them were in the early or mid stages of dark energy. Those who had reached the late stage of dark energy could be counted on one hand!
They!
Were disadvantaged by their youth, but had great potential!
Sean knew them very well. Whether it was their bloodline talent or combat experience, they were not bad. They had been too busy with military affairs in the North to find time to cultivate!
And now!
It was undoubtedly the best opportunity!
Sean believed that as long as he gave these pups enough time, they would definitely not disappoint him and would grow rapidly!!!
Upon hearing this, the pups looked at each other, then clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, sweeping away their previous frustration and gloom. Their faces were filled with invigorated expressions as they said, “Please rest assured, General Wolf! The Bloody Wolf Group will absolutely not be the weakest group under you!”
“We will!”
“Be the strongest!”
“Damn it!”
“Damn it!”
“Damn it!”
The thirty-eight Bloody Wolf members roared in unison, their voices like thunder!
They were veterans of the battlefield and had rich experience. Their psychological endurance and ability to motivate themselves were far beyond ordinary people’s.
Slightly discouraged?
Humph!
No way!
Turning sorrow into motivation and viewing the gap as driving force were their strengths!!!
“Tsk!”
Seeing the pups quickly regain their confidence after the setback, the white-clad women were surprised. Winter, the little girl, couldn’t help but sneer, “All bark and no bite. In front of these people, you actually dare to say you want to be the strongest group under the General. How presumptuous…”
Swish!
Swish swish swish swish…
In an instant!
All the pups’ gazes shot towards Winter. However, with her master and Isabella present, Winter was fearless. On the contrary, she raised her chin provocatively and said, “Am I wrong?”
Damn!
If not for the white-clad women being too strong, the pups really wanted to rush over and press Winter to the ground for a good beating. This little girl was too damn annoying!!!
“Alright!”
Sean stopped them in time and suggested, “Whether it’s the Bloody Wolf Group or the White Army, from now on, you are all my left and right arms. You can have healthy competition but must not be hostile to each other.”
“To ease the relationship between you and promote mutual understanding, and also to improve the strength of these pups as soon as possible, I have decided that starting today the white army members will provide one-on-one guidance to the Bloody Wolf Group members!”
Cultivating in the cave of Hill of Swords was most important for utilizing the Sword of God. The white-clad women were already very familiar with it, while these pups had just arrived and were totally clueless!
Therefore!
One-on-one guidance would allow the pups to learn how to use the Sword of God to aid their cultivation in the fastest way possible!
However!
The moment Sean finished speaking, exclamations immediately rang out!
“No way!”
“No way!”
“No way!!!”
Almost all were voices of opposition!
The tide of voices rose!
The white-clad women opposed, and so did the pups!
Clearly!
The white-clad women did not have a good impression of the pups and did not want too much contact or intimacy with them. As for the pups, they were men with pride. That their own strength was inferior to a group of women was one thing, but to have a group of women teach them how to cultivate was a “huge humiliation” they could not accept!!!
Sean had expected this reaction, so he was not surprised at all!
But!
Although knowing they would oppose it, Sean still said it out. Naturally, it was not just an offhand remark!
So!
Sean’s expression became stern as he solemnly said, “I’m asking you to guide each other’s cultivation and promote mutual improvement, not introduce each other for marriage or even get married. Why are you all so agitated?”
His words instantly made the white-clad women blush with shame and anger!
The pups’ faces also turned black, with strange expressions, as if saying: General Wolf, these young ladies are as beautiful as flowers and as graceful as water. If we really introduced, dated, or even married them, we would have no objections!
Absolutely no objections!
However!Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Guiding cultivation… No way, absolutely no way!
We can’t lose face like that!
Damn!
“This matter is decided! You can oppose it, but your opposition is invalid! The numbers in the Bloody Wolf Group and White Army are about the same. You decide how to pair up yourselves!”
As the General Wolf and the General, Sean didn’t care whether they agreed or not. He opened and closed his mouth, settling the matter with one stroke!
“But…”
“We…”
Some were unwilling and wanted to argue, but before they could speak, Sean changed the subject and continued, “Although my goal is for you to cultivate together and promote each other, if in the process, sparks of love emerge and you really want to develop a romantic relationship, even get married…”
“Hehe!”
“I also support it!”
Whoosh!
Sean’s words were like a huge boulder thrown into the calm waters, immediately causing huge waves among the crowd. Exclamations kept arising while the perpetrator directly turned and walked away, towards Sandals. Sean and Sandals exchanged smiles, thinking: Pups, seize the opportunity! This General Wolf is willing to take the blame to create such a chance for you. Whether you can succeed depends on your own capabilities…
Sigh!
Being a General Wolf and a General, I not only have to worry about your cultivation but also your love lives. I really have it hard!!!
