There was one thing that neither Rean nor Roan had expected. When Rean talked to the floating energy spheres, the twins knew the elders on the other side would be watching. However, they had always thought that it would be prohibited to contact the disciples during the competition.
With that said, what Rean and Roan expected was that the Jamai Sect would use some secret method to send the message without Rambram Sect knowing. Little did they know that all the leaders of the continents participating in the competition had the right to send one message to the Free Continent.
They weren’t the only ones. All the participants inside the Free Continent at the moment didn’t know that. Well, at least not the ones who haven’t received any message yet. Those who had already received the message obviously found out about it in the message itself.
Luina and the others looked at each other and immediately took out the Thoughts Transmission Talismans. All the Jamai Sect disciples had Thoughts Transmission Talismans capable of passing through the continental barriers. After all, even Philip had them back in Jhiod Continent, let alone them. It’s just that they weren’t supposed to work.
Some of the disciples had more than one and tried to use them before. Unfortunately for them, their messages never got through. Now, those talismans that weren’t supposed to work were receiving a message. And those were the talismans meant for emergencies which were given only to the top disciples of the Sect.
Sure enough, Luina and the others looked at Rean and Roan, wondering if it was just a coincidence or not. They then put the talismans on their foreheads and received the Jamai Sect Master’s orders.
-Quite a few of you will recognize my Divine Sense from the times I made an apparition back in the Sect. But for those who haven’t had the chance to meet me, know that I’m Ross Bravit, the Jamai Sect Master. The leaders of each continent taking part in this competition were given a single chance to message their members in the competition as long as it was before ten years had passed and that we didn’t disclose any information about the other continents.-
Ross continued. -In case some of you are wondering if this is a fake message sent by your opponents in the other countries, you can check its veracity with Hilanshi, the Rambram Sect’s supervisor in Walfure Region. He was already informed about it and will confirm that it was really me who sent this message.-
-We have been watching you closely for the last year and two months. To be honest, I’m hugely disappointed with the way you all took it. There are quite a few continents where their participants are properly working together and growing stronger by the day. They know that what really matters is the acquisition of the Free Continent. However, I haven’t said anything until now.-
-That ends now, though. Since none of you want to cooperate with the others unless you’re forced to take the Sect Oath, I will have to force you to do so. The elders and I have looked at all of you closely, so I will now announce our decision. All disciples of the Jamai Sect are to follow Luina and her two subordinates’ orders. Luina’s subordinates have shown extreme proficiency in both war and country management. Some of you also showed some good prospects, but Luina’s subordinates are heads and shoulders above any of you.-
-As you know, we can see every centimeter of the Free Continent through the monitoring formation. If someone refuses to follow the order, then you better be prepared for the consequences once you return to the Jamai Sect, regardless of whether we win the continent or not.-
Everyone was shocked to hear that from the sect master. Still, no one thought it to be a trap or anything like that since they all could check whether it was true or not by contacting Hilanshi. Of course, many of the disciples didn’t like the idea at all. Some even thought that the fault was on the disciples who lost their countries to Luina’s forces. Otherwise, how could some Transition Realm subordinates from the small allied countries be given such a position by the Jamai Sect Master himself?
Others were cursing themselves, though. They had created a fortress out of their countries and didn’t attack anyone. They thought that because of that, they didn’t show what they could do and now would have to fall into someone’s regime. It was even worse when they all thought that they would follow the orders of people from outside the sect.
Of course, Ross didn’t stop there. -I know that many of you are unwilling. There’s no lack of arrogant members in the competition. Some of you might even be thinking about whether it’s better to simply suffer the consequences and ignore my orders. Well, you can try that. Just know that I’ll be the one to personally kill you once the competition is over.-
Some of the disciples felt a chill on their backs after hearing that. Sure enough, they were considering not following the orders even if they came from the Sect Master. Worst case scenario, they would be severely punished once they were back in the sect. They didn’t expect that the Sect Master himself would come out to get rid of them. That was the same as saying that they only had until the end of the competition to live, wasn’t it?
-Those are my orders. I want every single disciple of the Jamai Sect to head to Butiva Country and meet with Luina and her subordinates. The elders and I will be watching. Also, don’t forget. This is the only time we will contact you.-
As soon as those words ended, the Thoughts Transmission Talismans burnt away, just like any other Talisman.
Lanteo and the others looked at Rean, who smiled brightly back at them. “Well then. From now on, I’m your grandfather. Hurry, come forward and pay your respects!”
