CHAPTER 1708: CHAPTER 1708: THE ANNIHILATOR SPECIALIST—HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE THE JOB?

"No need to fear their thoughts, as long as we can strike the Heavenly Dao Alliance, it’s beneficial to the Celestial Palace!"

Alfred Weaver slightly smiled, "The more people like this, the better!"

Carson Flores nodded in agreement.

This illustrates how differing positions lead to different perspectives on the same matter.

Although Carson Flores did not know Wes Matthews, judging from the tone in the report letter, his report on the Hall Master and others was not out of true allegiance to the Celestial Palace but for his own gain.

Not all the high-level officials of the Demon Fiend Hall agreed to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but the Hall Master made the decision, denying the opposition any effectiveness, reluctantly gaining tacit approval.

Once the Immortal Palace Wanted Order was issued, it stirred enormous waves, causing conflict once again among the high-level members of the Demon Fiend Hall.

Like most Sect forces that joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance, they understood that they could only choose between the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Celestial Palace. Choosing wrongly meant falling into the abyss with no redemption. Most senior members of the Demon Fiend Hall no longer wanted to mess around with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, hoping the Hall Master would express an intention to withdraw since the Celestial Palace promised to forgive past misdeeds.

The Hall Master Xander Frost acted like a madman, inexorably suppressing others in spite of much opposition, threatening them with Sect safety, even preparing to remove them from positions and forcibly detaining them within the Sect.

The Vice Hall Master Wes Matthews secretly contacted the Celestial Palace, explained everything in detail, and included a list of members led by Hall Master Xander Frost who firmly supported the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Wes Matthews hoped the Celestial Palace would send someone to "pacify" the Demon Fiend Hall, clearing out the Heavenly Dao Alliance members led by Xander Frost, and restore the Demon Fiend Hall’s brightness.

Wes Matthews also claimed that he and the others were staunch supporters of the Celestial Palace, ready to fight against the Heavenly Dao Alliance, becoming the Celestial Palace’s vanguard against the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Could it be that Wes Matthews was unaware of the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s anti-Celestial Palace stance before? That’s impossible, but why had he never considered reporting them before?

Once the Immortal Palace Wanted Order was issued, he immediately reported them?

Perhaps the White-Clothed Envoy had promised the Demon Fiend Hall various benefits in the past, so even if they didn’t wholly agree, they tacitly accepted them for the benefits. Now that the Celestial Palace showed its stance—those who followed the Heavenly Dao Alliance were enemies and would be eradicated—they panicked. When the Hall Master stubbornly chose a dead-end path, they chose to remove the Hall Master to ensure their safety.

Simply put, currently in the Demon Fiend Hall, a faction led by the Hall Master insists on supporting the Heavenly Dao Alliance, while a faction led by Wes Matthews places their trust in the Celestial Palace, believing the Heavenly Dao Alliance would fail.

It’s fine to call each other good brothers while eating, drinking, playing, and boasting, but now you actually want me to take it seriously and fight against the Celestial Palace?

Isn’t that courting death?

No way, for my own life, I can only uphold justice against my own kin and let you die!

If the Hall Master is removed, who would be the next Hall Master?

Who else but Wes Matthews?

Carson Flores finished pondering and smiled, "Who are you planning to send?"

Alfred Weaver stared at Carson Flores, smiling, "Are you interested in making the trip as the leader of this operation?"

Carson Flores was slightly stunned, "Me? I’m just an Earth Immortal, not to mention those Heavenly Immortals, even your Immortal Palace Guard Squad is at least True Immortal level. Would they obey me if I’m in charge?"

Alfred Weaver laughed, "Don’t mention those True Immortal-level Guard Squad members, even among the Heavenly Immortals, who has slain more of them than you?"

Carson Flores laughed, "An arrow at the end of its flight couldn’t pierce through a sheet of silk. Apart from the first Heavenly Immortal I killed with the Sword Qi given by a powerful figure, the other Heavenly Immortals were all heavily injured by Senior Ao and others before I could kill them. This barely counts as my personal ability."

"If that’s not your ability, what is it?"

Alfred Weaver smiled warmly, "Do you know why I want you to lead the team?"

Carson Flores shook his head, "You want me to lead the team to claim some credit?"

"No, credit might be necessary for others in the Celestial Palace, but for you, it’s not needed at all."

Alfred Weaver’s eyes flashed with a playful gleam, "Haven’t you forgotten the story you told me, about being a household extermination specialist?"

Household extermination specialist?

Carson Flores laughed speechlessly, "I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. In the past, I indeed exterminated many cultivation families and Sects, but with my current strength, I couldn’t even destroy one. If others provoke me, I still have to run quickly myself."

"But you are experienced."

Alfred Weaver chuckled lightly, "You don’t need to worry about the fights. I believe in matters like this, you’re experienced. The people of the Celestial Palace, having stayed long in seclusion, might find dealing with outsiders a bit rigid and not handle matters well."

"During the time you were in seclusion, many strong individuals have come to the Celestial Palace. Now, unlike when you first arrived, the Celestial Palace is not short-handed. On the contrary, it has plenty of manpower and powerful combat strength. Plus, Grandpa Patel will accompany you. With him overseeing, with his support, even if others have some thoughts, they won’t dare to act rashly and will actively cooperate with your orders..."
