Chapter 1973: Gambling with Life—Who’s More Ruthless?
The Seven-colored Starfall Iron is in hand, and not only that, Carson Flores also got many good things from Fernando Tate's Space Ring.
As a member of the Round Table Council and the Junior Sect Master of the Heavenly Scorpion Sect, could Fernando Tate have few good things on him?
Since he had already offended them, he didn't mind offending a bit more.
Now that Carson Flores had the support of Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, the Celestial Palace, and Delarosa, why would he fear the Heavenly Scorpion Sect?
Carson Flores directly stored all these things into his own Space Ring, without even glancing at Fernando Tate.
Outside the pagoda, the Heavenly Scorpion Sect's strongmen had once again pursued him, sealing off this space, completely blocking any escape from the Ethereal Pagoda.
Of course, they didn't know that the Heavenly Alliance had done the same in the past, and the final outcome was that one of the Peak Heavenly Immortals blocking the way was smashed to half.
The white-haired elder shouted angrily, "Hand over Tate, otherwise, we will kill them!"
Carson Flores, instead of escaping, returned here, clearly showing his deep bond with this woman and the Golden Giant Ape.
Didn't you see the woman's face full of joy when she saw the pagoda coming?
A flash of golden light from the Ethereal Pagoda, and an arm flew out from the pagoda, accompanied by Carson Flores's voice.
"If you don't want him dead, get out of the way, otherwise, next time it won't just be an arm."
The white-haired elder reached out to catch the arm, and upon realizing it belonged to Tate, was instantly furious.
"This is Tate's arm!"
Everyone around immediately grew furious. This person was simply too arrogant, threatening everyone in the Heavenly Demon Continent amidst numerous Heavenly Scorpion Sect powerhouses!
"Take down this pagoda, capture that kid, I don't believe he's not afraid to die, daring to hurt Junior Sect Master Tate!"
"Yes, I've never encountered such a threat before. This is outrageous!"
"Let's move!"
The white-haired elder evidently thought the same, as by now, everyone had completely surrounded this pagoda, and some had even set up a Formation, not believing the opponent could escape!
Since the opponent has no escape route, would he still dare to kill Fernando Tate?
If Fernando Tate died and he was caught afterward, he would only suffer even more cruel and terrifying torture, wishing for death over life!
"If you release Tate, we can negotiate, but if you persist, we'll have to take you down and make you pay heavily. Tate is our Junior Sect Master, but we can't accept threats because of him..."
Before the white-haired elder finished speaking, a golden light flashed on the Ethereal Pagoda, and a leg flew out.
"Really? Then let me see how determined you are. I'm just a nobody, but having the Junior Sect Master of the Heavenly Scorpion Sect as company in death, I'd consider myself lucky. Besides, who says I definitely can't escape after killing him?"
Carson Flores's words enraged all the Heavenly Scorpion Sect strongmen, making everyone unleash their magical artifacts to launch an attack on the Ethereal Pagoda.
"Stop!"
The white-haired elder suddenly raised his hand, loudly stopping everyone's actions.
The white-haired elder's face was as dark as water, his eyes seemingly rolling with thunder, his fists clenched tightly, the air around making a sharp cracking sound.
He wanted to slaughter them all, but he didn't dare to gamble!
He spoke well about how the Heavenly Scorpion Sect wouldn't accept threats, merely putting pressure on Carson Flores to prevent him from feeling emboldened because he had hostages, thereby stopping Carson from going to extreme lengths to threaten them and forcing a surrender.
However, Carson's steadfastness was beyond his imagination. Tossing the hand and foot showed a clear attitude.
Carson Flores would not yield, nor relent!
Now, the hand and foot could still be reattached through healing techniques, as they hadn't been damaged, but if things escalated further, would Carson still be so merciful in his warnings?
Shattering Fernando Tate's body, annihilating his Primordial Spirit!
From how easily Carson got hold of Fernando Tate's limbs, it indicated that Fernando had fallen completely into Carson's grasp, life and death controlled by him.
He gave up!
For Fernando Tate's life, he decided to let Carson go, knowing that after today, the Heavenly Scorpion Sect would inform all Demon Races throughout the Heavenly Demon Continent to hunt Carson down!
As long as they block the Domain Gate, prevent Carson from escaping, then he can't leave unless he hides somewhere secret and never shows his face; otherwise, they will certainly find and destroy him, venting today's anger!
For now, Fernando Tate's life is of utmost importance!
"Alright, we won't act; we'll let you leave. But how can you assure us that you'll release Tate, won't you kill him after leaving?"
Carson Flores blandly stated, "For now, I'll let him stay as a guest for a while. When I leave this land, I'll let him go. Whether you believe it or not is up to you; you can choose not to believe and attack now, gambling on whether I can escape."
The white-haired elder angrily said, "Then make a Heavenly Oath!"
Carson laughed, "How about we switch it; you make a Heavenly Oath that the Heavenly Scorpion Sect won't hold a grudge over today's matter and won't act against us. As soon as you swear it, I'll give him back to you!"
The white-haired elder widened his eyes, "You're pushing it too far."
Carson Flores nonchalantly said, "For those willing to fight to the death, do they care about taking advantage or not? As I said, you can refuse, you can attack me now; maybe you'll capture me."
Carson's offhand words raised a peculiar feeling within everyone's hearts.
Why does it feel like this guy is mocking us?
He seems genuinely confident, not worried about escaping at all?
Could he really have some powerful trump card, enough to break through so many strongmen besieging him and make a dashing escape?
The white-haired elder contemplated for a moment but couldn't shake off Fernando Tate's fate. If Carson left with Tate, without any oaths, who knows if he'd eventually harm Tate, making it a loss for them?
"Alright! Today, our Heavenly Scorpion Sect concedes, I can swear. Are you sure, once I swear, you'll free him?"
Carson casually replied, "You can include it in your oath as a condition for the oath to be valid. By the way, my name is Carson Flores, she's Spencer Steele, and there's another companion named Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, having a great battle with your people."
Immortal Monarch!
The white-haired elder was shocked; this kid had an Immortal Monarch as a companion!
Realizing this, the elder's reluctant heart softened considerably. Even if the Heavenly Scorpion Sect didn't fear an Immortal Monarch, becoming mortal enemies with one, with them targeting your people, what could you do?
Alright, concede!
The white-haired elder swore a Heavenly Oath, representing the Heavenly Scorpion Sect declaring they wouldn't trouble the few, and if broken, would face severe consequences.
Carson Flores hoisted Fernando Tate out of the pagoda and casually threw him to the white-haired elder.
Fernando Tate, regaining his freedom, upon seeing the numerous powerful allies opposite, instantly regained his spirit, his arrogance surging once more!
"Boy, hand back the Seven-colored Starfall Iron, and my Space Ring..."
