Chapter 169

• Samuel laughed heartily as he advised, "Senior, don't get too worked up. It's bad for your health. If you are willing to give up your position and announce to the Northern District that you want to take some time off, let the First Elder replace you, it would be a win-win situation. That way the other seven sects would have no complaints whatsoever."
• "Get lost!" Titan chided Samuel angrily.
• "It's for your own good. As your junior, I would hate to see you die in vain. I am certain that you won't be able to escape from this predicament today. It's an outcome everyone would be happy with if you can just give up on your title. You'll be alive, and we can save ourselves the trouble. Blue Cloud Sect wouldn't plunge into chaos either. If you continue to resist, then our plan is to cripple you first, and announce to the public in your name that you will be going into self- isolation with the First Elder as your. temporary replacement. In two or three years time, things would have settled down and the First Elder will have full control over Blue Cloud Sect. We will announce that you went crazy during your training and died tragically. The First Elder will thus be justified to take over officially and become the Sect Leader. So, I am going to ask you again: would you rather step down obediently, or die a tragic death?"
