Chapter 844 - Permanent Home
After that, Fizer, Malo, and Poliana explained what the sect was about, how it came to be, and where they were going. Julia was obviously surprised to hear about Celis, the Bloodline Trial Control Formations, and so on. However, what really impressed her was that the twins were able to rescue all these humans from there. "Hm-hmph! I'll admit that they did something good by taking all the girls away from that place. It's a lot more than what I could expect from men in general."
Fizer narrowed his eyes after hearing that as he could not help but say, "Who saved your ass during the last few battles on the Sea Demon Beasts' territory?"
"Didn't do anything more than you're obligated to. If I fell, we would have lost control over the demon beasts on my side. It was a necessity, not a favor." Julia didn't yield at all.
"Sigh... whatever. I really don't know why an Elemental Transformation Realm like me still considers you as a friend." Fizer knew the woman already, so he knew nothing good would come out from forcing the issue. At most, he could use his strength to kick her away, but he didn't want to do it since the female disciples would need her. At the very least, he knew that he could trust that weird figure called Julia.
Soon after, Malo and Poliana asked what Julia would want to do. "So...is Senior Julia also becoming an ancestor of the sect like Fizer?"
"Ancestor?! Do I look that old to you two?!"
"That's not it. It's just that the only position available for someone of your level would be that," Malo explained. "The position of ancestor is neutral. It holds no power over the sect. In exchange, the ancestor also doesn't need to do anything for the sect other than letting us using their name. Of course, if the sect gets into a dangerous situation that only someone of your power can help, then we expect you to give us a hand. We will pay you back the best way we can."
"No power even though I would be an ancestor?" Just like Fizer, Julia was taken aback by that. "Isn't that bad?"
Shortly after, Malo and Poliana explained the same things to Julia as they did to Fizer a few days ago. "And that's how it is. If Senior Julia has any questions, you can ask Fizer. He's already aware of everything."
Fizer nodded and used Spiritual Sense to talk about the Divine Demon Beasts, the twins, and the rest of the reasons that made him decide to stick with this sect. 'Trust me. You won't regret this decision. Besides...I believe you don't want to give up so many highly talented disciples, right?'
Julia didn't like how it felt to fall into Fizer's plot even though she knew what he was doing. But in the end, she couldn't go against who she was. "Fine! So what if I have no power? As long as I can raise great female cultivators, that's enough for me."
With that over, Malo quickly asked Julia to let them use her airship to help to move all the sect's stuff as well. Julia didn't mind since the majority of things were from the female disciples anyway. Following that, she ordered her own disciples that came with her to join as disciples of the Freedom Sect. Naturally, her disciples agreed straight away. For them, Julia was the same as a god. Her words were absolute. That's how much they respected her.
Later on, when both airships were loaded, Julia was finally able to meet the famous twins. Rean was polite as always, while Roan remained brief with his words. Julia still didn't like having so many men in such high positions, but she couldn't deny what the twins did for the women in the sect. In the end, she simply decided to ignore the two...while paying a lot more attention to Malaka. At her level, it wasn't that hard for her to notice Malaka's condition. "Pregnant, huh? You're the first one I've seen pregnant in this entire sect. Still, how come you look so tired? It's pretty bad for your and the baby's health."
Malaka, obviously, couldn't possibly let the chance pass up as she lamented, "Sniff, sniff. It was the Black-Haired Demon King. He has no regard for the people's feelings at all."
The Demon Kin-ahem... Roan's mouth twitched in response. "It seems like you didn't get punished enough. Very well, I shall see that your body will remember it correctly."
"Stop bullying a pregnant woman! I won't let you touch her!" Julia, obviously, immediately intervened.
Unfortunately for her... "Sect rule. The ancestor holds no power. Naturally, you can't intervene." Roan didn't even blink when he said those words, which immediately shut Julia's mouth.
Calina saw how Julia seemed to be bursting in anger after Roan's words. She quickly shook her head and sent Julia a Spiritual Sense message, explaining everything regarding Rean, Roan, and Malaka. Only then did Julia understand that she almost fell for Malaka's ploy. Sure, Malaka was really tired after Roan made her and Agis pass through a small hell as punishment. However, Malaka and the baby's health were far from being affected. Calina even mentioned Rean's Light Element in Malaka's womb, which completely protected the little one.
'This Malaka girl is quite a demon herself. Hmph! That's good. She's one more disciple that I will have to correct,' Julia thought.
After all the antics were over, the sect members boarded the airships, preparing to move out. Rean and Roan only took in the Parasol Tree Totem. After all, that was the most important thing they had in their sect at the moment. The disciples transported all the other things in the sect by themselves.
With one last look at the Fruzei Hills, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, Celis, and everyone else departed from the Demon Beast Continent. Who knows if they would ever step on this place again in the future. Nevertheless, none of them were sad. It was time for the Freedom Sect to establish their permanent home.
