Heavenly Harem Sect

Chapter 64 4 Elders

“I understand your concerns, and I really do sympathize with your feelings. After all, how could anyone believe the words of someone who had killed their comrades”

Seeing that the Elders were frightened by his approach, Daniel softened his demeanour.

He didn’t want to cause any more harm than he had planned to, thus, he tried to sympathise with them.

From the perspectives of the Elders, it was definitely odd for them when their Enemy is comforting them when he was the cause of it.

It was making him even more suspicious than before.

“Stay away! Don’t come near to us!” 𝐞𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺

The Elder who stood up pointed her sword towards him.

Daniel attempted in approaching them with a warm smile, however, it failed the moment he took a step.

Even though he was fine with their reactions, his disciples were not having it, especially Cecilia, his first disciple.

‘How dare this bitch tries to point her sword towards Master!? Doesn’t she know that this would be an opportunity for them?’

She clenched her fingers in anger as she gazed at the Elders with a murderous gaze.

Cecilia believed that as long as no one had yet to join the sect or at least hasn’t formed a friendly term with her Master, she would be at odds against them if they dared to be disrespectful.

The thought of simply freezing her body to death tempts her a lot.

However, she shook the idea off once she wondered how her master would react.

The least that she could do is for Daniel to be disappointed in her, and that would be her worst nightmare.

Hence, to avoid any chances of her master hating her, she held her thoughts at least for now.

She wasn’t the only person to have this thought, even the rest of them had similar thoughts and they gaze into each other’s eyes as though their minds were synchronized.

“Hmmm…I wonder what could I do to convince you?”

Daniel tilted his head with his fingers on his chin as he wondered what could he do to persuade them.

It seems like they wouldn’t be easily persuaded and it would take more energy to convince them rather than recruiting them.

‘To be honest, I don’t have to go this far for them, but my urge to conquer every females that I can possibly can overwhelm my initial thought’

“You don’t have to persuade us! No matter what you do, we won’t trust a person like you”

The Elder remained firm despite Daniel’s question.

She knew that he was a powerful cultivator, but it shouldn’t be up to the extent that he’s an unknown variable.

It looks like no matter what Daniel did, they won’t believe him nor would they trust him and he questioned, thus, he was in a dilemma.

‘If the situation doesn’t change, even I would start questioning whether should I go far for them?’

He felt contradicted but as he watched the fear, anxiety, nervousness and stress within their eyes, he soon began pondering.

“I agree that what I did was kinda of a bad approach. But you can’t blame me for not standing up for my dignity after being insulted”

“Wouldn’t you agree that I responded fairly to your Sect’s Leader taunt?”

Daniel gave his opinion, and even they couldn’t retort back.

After all, Daniel was telling the truth.

“That’s….”

The Elder couldn’t deny his words.

She clearly remembered what happened when the envoy visited them and how their Leader caused a ruckus over it.

Their sect wasn’t threatened nor did the Envoy make things difficult for them.

It was a simple meeting about whether did they wish to join their alliance, and if they refused, no sort of harm would be given except that they weren’t given any Alliance Privileges.

Furthermore, the reason why they rejected was that it was a ridiculous idea and the Imperial Families won’t stay silent.

Thus, they didn’t wish to be the victims of the Imperial Families, and the plan sounded childish.

“I won’t try to persuade you nor would I harm any one of you”

“How can we trust you!?”

The Elder questioned with a suspicious gaze and Daniel smiled at her response.

“You don’t have to trust me. Rather, you can watch the events that will unfold in a few days and all of you could judge whether am I worthy to be trusted”

“If all of you still had doubts about me, then, I could do nothing about that. But if you wish to be part of my sect, then, the gate will always open for you”

Daniel knew that the situation, for now, won’t change. Hence, rather than convincing him, he altered his course of plans.

He will show how much he’s capable of in a few day time.

As for now, he revised his plans and thought that visiting the Sects would cause time wastage.

“Let’s go somewhere else, ladies”

He urged his disciples to follow and as he walked further till his silhouette couldn’t be seen, the Elder who had been guarding herself up finally dropped to the ground.

“H-He finally left”

Her butt dropped onto the ground as she gasped for more air with a terrified expression.

She couldn’t breathe properly and sweats were all over her body and it was as though her soul had left her body.

Not only she, but her fellow Elders had the same reaction.

“W-We really had live through that…?”

One of them questioned as though they couldn’t believe they had survived a disaster.

“He could have killed us off, but why did he let us live?”

Another question as she finds Daniel’s existence baffling.

He killed all of their Male Elders, but he let them live?

What kind of pervert was he is what they thought.

“Still, did we make the right choice Elder Mireya?”

The Elder who stood up against Daniel was called Mireya.

With long silvery silky hair and black eyes, she was a hidden gem that one would not find in such a city.

“I…don’t know” She answered honestly.

“I have no answer as to what outcome would we face. That guy…no…that monster is an existence we can’t face and you all could feel it”

They remained silent as what Mireya said was right.

Standing was already hard for them to withstand the pressure Daniel was omitting, and they couldn’t imagine what would have happened if they fought against him.

Moreover, the answer to that question is as clear as the day.

It would result in immediate death just like those Elders who died.

“But…what if we had accepted his offer?”

“Neila, what are you talking about!”

Neila, who questioned about the offer has dark green hair with Emerald Eyes like nature itself.

She was like a bubbly woman who can’t remain silent, and now, she wondered what would happen if they accepted his offer.

“You know what I’m talking about Hazely!”

Hazely who retorted to Neila’s question has oceanic eyes and purplish hazy hair.

Hazley and Neila are the kinds of people that would contrast each other’s beliefs and would often argue over small issues.

They were just like cats and dogs.

“There have been rumours and it has been confirmed that the young ladies of the Tristan, Jazz and even the Matriarchs of Romenia and Kail Family had joined them”

“Moreover, weren’t we there when his disciples had ‘showcased’ the benefit of becoming a Disciple of the Sect?”

Neila pointed out that they had visited when Daniel’s disciples had visited the city and did something unknown to him.

“So why didn’t we accept his offer?”

Neila thought it wouldn’t be bad if they joined his sect.

“What are you trying you say? You want to betray the sect after all they had done for you?”

“And don’t you forget that you even lowered your dignity and gave your body to the Sect’s Leader”

Hazely revealed what kind of actions Neila had done, however, Neila wasn’t offended.

“So? What do you think this is? A free world?” She retorted back with a fierce gaze.

“You!”

Hazely was furious as to how Neila had answered, and she was about to reply when one of the Elders stopped them.

“Stopped arguing. You’re not contributing to what should we do from now on”

The moment someone stopped their argument, Neila and Hazely quit their dispute.

“Sigh, but what Neila said is right Mireya. We were there when his Disciples had shown the power of being a disciple to his sect”

The last Elder was known as Cierra.

With Black hair and White eyes, she might seem aloof, however, she was kind and a benevolent Elder that couldn’t express her emotions in words.

“Still, no matter what happens, we would follow your decision. After all, we can’t forget what you had done for us”

Cierra pointed out the reason why they were being respectful to her and why they respected her.

“I know what Neila said was right…but I just can’t accept that we would do anything to climb higher while forgetting our roots”

“If we had accepted his offer, who would care and guide those boys?”

She questioned and all of them couldn’t answer.

“Those boys completely rely on us and you know that being a cultivator is not easy, especially for a city like this where resources are depleting”

“So is it right for us to abandon those that had placed their hopes on us, and we just simply leave them behind for a better future?”

Mireya simply didn’t wish to leave her disciples behind as she has developed a familial relationship with them.

“Mireya, we would follow you and your decisions and whatever you think it’s right we’d follow”

Cierra comforted Mireya who was being stressed out by the situation.

“That’s right Mireya. You don’t have to be bothered by my words. Even I can’t abandon my disciples”

Neila scratched her head and she was being honest with herself.

“Whatever you do, we would be behind your back and if you need our help, we’d respond to it”

Hazely smiled as she tried comforting her fellow Elder and also a friend.

“Thanks for your comforting words, I think I have a better view of what should we do from now on”

Mireya was glad that she had them and because of their consolation, she felt better and she could think better.

“We should join them” She answered.
