Chapter 1423 Surrender
Three more days passed...
After the previous events, Minos and his group found out about the incident that happened in the Saints Killing Sect six days ago.
The moment he found out about it, Minos promptly connected the dots and understood where some of the power of his Black Hole Bomb had gone.
But even upon discovering such a thing, Minos had stuck to his plans and continued on his way toward enemy headquarters to demand their surrender.
There was no reason not to hurt the fallen opponent until he surrendered!
Because of this, Minos and his group were now in the vicinity of the area where the main floating island of that organization was.
They were standing on another floating island at the present moment, meeting with a group sent by that sect to talk.
"Minos Stuart, how dare you to have the nerve to come here after all that has happened?" The supreme elder of that organization asked while looking hatefully at the enemy leader.
The people in Minos' group could not say anything against that, and everyone was silent, feeling that the previous incident had really crossed the line.
But Minos remained calm, sitting across the table between him and those from the enemy sect.
"Where is Mortimer?" He asked, causing the enemies inside that temporary tent to get angry that he did not answer their questions.
"That is none of your business!"
"Tsk!"
"Do you think we will hand over the location of our sect master?" The supreme elder asked in an angry tone.
"Has he already started the absorption of Gavin's powers? Is that fellow still alive?" Minos ignored the enemy taunts and got down to business.
But those men were silent this time, only noting that this enemy of theirs knew well of their plans.
"Sigh..."
"It doesn't matter. There's no way Gavin can survive in your hands, so I'm going to assume he's already dead." Emperor Stuart said this in a mournful but, at the same time, serious tone. "Then let's deal with what interests us and can still be talked about. I am here to receive your surrender and apply the proper punishments."
"Are you going to surrender? Or would you rather keep fighting?"
Waves of hatred left the faces of those men as they looked at Minos, questioning them about this.
One of them then said. "Are you crazy? Do you think you can go on with this?"
"I think so. Or I wouldn't be here." Minos said before looking toward one of his weapons, showing these people a motivation to give up.
But at this crucial moment in their conversations, a member of the Gray Clouds Sect entered that place shouting and warning everyone there.
"Sect Master!"
"Sect master, people from the imperial family are here to arrest you!" Such a watchman said this, barely managing to finish speaking and soon after being followed by the high-level Spiritual Saints of the Edwardstone family.
"Sect master Stuart, surrender yourself!"historical
"We are here under an imperial edict to arrest you and take you to the capital!" The group's spokesman shouted while those individuals at levels 77, 78, and 79 looked at Minos strangely.
Everyone in the surrounding area looked at these newcomers, with the members of the Gray Clouds Sect making negative expressions. At the same time, those of the Saints Killing Sect smiled.
"Haha, finally!"
"Your time has come, devil Minos!"
"I want to see how you get away with this, brat!"
Minos ignored these comments and looked toward those people glaring at him. "May I ask what the reason for this order is?"
"How dare you?" The group leader shouted such a thing, seeing how bold Minos was. "After all you have done, you still ask the reason? Are you trying to annoy us, sect master Stuart?"
"I truly don't know the reason for this little show of yours." Minos stood up and said seriously, irritated by yet another problem.
One of those men from the imperial family, someone who had already met with Minos in the past few days, clenched his fists and said. "You almost destroyed the Saints Killing Sect! You have disregarded the emperor's orders, and now you will have to pay for your crimes!"
"So that's it?" Minos smiled. "That way, go back where you came from. I am not guilty of that."
Minos' grandfather stood beside his grandson and placed one of his hands on his right shoulder. "My grandson is innocent, General Robinett." He looked at the stronger man there. "My grandson was over a thousand kilometers away from the headquarters of the Saints Killing Sect when that catastrophe happened."
"How can he be guilty of anything?"
"Bullshit!" The supreme elder of the Saints Killing Sect exclaimed. "It is clear to everyone that Minos Stuart's weapon was the cause of the incident that victimized our organization!"
"How dare you say those words now, Oswald? Have you no shame in that old face of yours?"
General Robinett nodded in agreement and said to Oswald. "We have already investigated the matter. As much as your grandson was not at the scene, his weapon caused it."
Minos laughed and said. "Are you guys kidding? That only happened because people from the Saints Killing Sect itself used a teleportation device when I threw my weapon."
"That caused the spatial crack that took some of my weapon's attack power to the core of that organization."
"I have no way of reaching such a place!"
"If I did, I would have finished them long ago."
"Then how can this be my fault, elders?" He looked at the people of the imperial family and opened his arms, arguing. "I attacked them, but it was by the act of the very members of that organization that such a tragedy happened."
"There was no way I could have known that such a thing would happen, that they would escape, that the power of my weapon had reached that level..."
"All in all, we can only lament the unfortunate choice of the leaders of that organization."
"Tsk!"
"Bastard!"
"You have guts!" The supreme elder of that organization said this angrily.
"The court will decide your innocence for itself, sect master Stuart." The leader of the imperial family group said that. "Now, surrender, or we will have to act."
As everyone looked at him apprehensively, spiritual sealing arrays were hurled in his direction.
"I refuse," Minos said as a mirrored sphere appeared in one of his hands.
People in each group inside that big tent looked at that and realized that he had chosen the hard way.
"Are you rebelling?" The group leader asked as he circulated his energies through his body.
"I will go to the empire's capital to settle my affairs with you as soon as I end this problem with the Saints Killing Sect. Moreover, I will never allow my cultivation to be sealed." Minos said menacingly. "But until they surrender, I will not leave here."
"I have not broken any rules of the emperor, and I am a leader of a state allied with the empire. So back off, or I will be forced to act."
"I am not joking." Then, Minos emitted a bit of his Dark Sea for all those people to realize that he was not bluffing.
If they went too far, he would act!
