Chapter 2897Chapter 2897 Persuasion
“Fine. If you won’t let me leave, I’ll go find my brother.”
Quinley angrily stormed toward Mason’s house. In the meantime, Mason was in the middle of a
discussion with several elders.
“Mr. Mason, the entire land is now in chaos. Battles are happening everywhere. Moreover, we’ve
discovered that a large number of Demonic Cultivators have snuck into the groups of cultivators,
searching for the treasure and competing for resources,” the grand elder, Ambrose, reported to Mason.
“How are the Archaic Body cultivators responding?” Mason queried. “The leader of the Archaic Body
cultivators doesn’t seem to have taken any actions toward this, but Archaic Body cultivator Vasily has
left with several cultivators from other places. I think they’re on a treasure hunt, and they’ve even
brought along the Demon Flogger,” Ambrose whispered.
“The Demon Flogger?” A faint smile appeared on Mason’s lips. “It looks like that old man knows that
the demons will be using the chaos as an opportunity to grab resources and territories. He deliberately
released the Archaic Body cultivators’ treasure map to stir up chaos in the far north to lure out the
demons hiding here. Now that he has gotten what he wants, I’m just worried that the Archaic Body
cultivators can’t annihilate all these demons. Mr. Ambrose, you should send out more men. Kill all
demons on sight. Let’s help out the Archaic Body cultivators. If the demons are not wiped out, I doubt
the Archaic Body cultivators will ever know peace.”
Mason had already figured out the intentions of the Archaic Body cultivators. “Mr. Mason, we’re going
to lend the Archaic Body cultivators a helping hand? I thought we were enemies,” Ambrose asked,
confused.“Enemies?” Mason smirked. “Remember, our real enemies are the demons of the far north. Don’t
assume that the demons are of no threat to us because of their lack of actions in the last few years.
They’ve been resting and recuperating.
Once they grow stronger, they’ll devour us all without any mercy. In comparison to the ruthless
demons, what are the Archaic Body cultivators? I’m sure that’s what that old man thinks too. After all,
their forefathers killed many demons and even sealed off the demons’ divine souls. If the demons
return to their peak state, do you think the Archaic Body cultivators can survive?”
Mason’s words astounded the others. As it turned out, the ones they thought were their enemies were
not their real enemies.
It seemed like everything in the world would change-enemies would become allies, and new enemies
would appear. It was just a matter of whether one’s personal gains were affected.
In the face of the ruthless demons, the Tall family would be willing to stand on the same side as the
Archaic Body cultivators. As expected of a high-ranking family member! They always see the bigger
picture.
Right as Mason was discussing with the elders, Quinley barged into the room and questioned, “Mason,
why won’t you let me go out?”
Mason furrowed his brows when he saw his sister. He then waved to dismiss the elders. This sister of
his was dear to him, and he spoiled her. If it had been Kaison or Jerison who barged into the room,
Mason would have slapped them.
However, it was Quinley, and Mason would never lose his temper with her. “Quinn, I’m just worried that
you’d be in danger. You know how much of a mess the far north is in right now. It’s not safe out there.
What if someone targets you outside? You’re a girl. If a bad guy targets you, and if anything happens toyou, how am I going to keep living? How am I going to face our parents in the afterlife?” Mason
somberly explained.
Quinley then grabbed Mason’s arm and started persuading her brother in a sweet voice, “Mason, if
you’re scared that something might happen to me, you can send two people to come with me. I want to
head out because I have something to do.”
