Chapter 1252 Crisis Is Solved

The second Frank finished his sentence,

the ten saints who had just arrived dashed forward and surrounded Lloyd. Alone, none of these saints
was a match for Lloyd in terms of strength and momentum.

However, their combined momentum easily surpassed Lloyd's.

Further, they had Frank on their side, who was easily as strong as Lloyd.

The air was heavy with oppression and anger.

All the warriors in the distance were looking at Lloyd, wondering what he would do next. There was no
way he could defeat twelve saints all by himself unless he had become a medium saint.

The warriors around them began to discuss possible outcomes heatedly. "Lloyd is surrounded by the
twelve saints. I think he is going to give up the white haired young man."

"Do you still think that they are here for Ricky?"

"Ricky was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, but he is no longer the reason for this
confrontation. The Luo Clan is just using him as an excuse. Their main target is the wood branch. They
have planned on annexing the wood branch and then slowly taking control of the Five-element Sect."

"So, how would you like to do this, old pal? The easy way, or the hard way?" Frank asked Lloyd,
clasping his hands behind his back. From his demeanor, he seemed certain that everything was under
his control.

He was looking around as if he was examining his own territory. Perhaps before his arrival, he had
already treated the wood branch's territory as his own. After all, his eyes had been set on it for a long
while now.



"I choose neither. No one can make me do something I don't want," Lloyd responded with a composed
expression.

"Ricky, I need to borrow your Five-element Flag," he asked Ricky telepathically.

"No problem, Elder Lloyd!" Ricky nodded and threw the Five-element Flag to the elder.

"Oh my gosh! That's..." Everyone's eyes widened in surprise when they saw the flag.

After absorbing the five original energies in the Five-element Sect's ancestral land, the flag was almost
completely fixed. It was yet to develop the hermit spirit but even without that, it was an incredible
treasure. As soon as Ricky took it out, it released an enormous amount of power characteristic of a
spiritual weapon at the intermediate stage of Sage Level.

"Am I dreaming or is that really what I think it is?"

"How come Ricky has such a powerful sacred weapon in his possession?" Despite their shock,
whoever saw it began to stare at the Five-element Flag greedily. Their avarice was dripping from their
eyes.

No creature could resist the temptation of a sacred weapon. Perhaps the demi-spiritual potentates or
spiritual potentates could control themselves, but not ordinary cultivators.

"Hang on. That is the Five-element Flag. It is the most sacred weapon of the Five-element Sect. It's
been lost for hundreds of years. How did he come by it?" an old spiritual emperor exclaimed in shock
when he recognized the flag.

"What? That's the Five-element Flag?" The warriors around him were shocked to hear that.

Frank and the other saints found the news equally incredible, but their surprise was soon replaced by
excitement.



They hadn't expected that the Five-element Flag would ever be found. Now, once they annexed the
wood branch, the Five-element Flag would be theirs.

'What a day! I can't believe I am going to get my hands on a spiritual weapon at the intermediate
stage,' Frank thought to himself, overtaken by thrill.

"Congratulations, fella. You've got the long-lost sacred weapon of your sect back," Frank congratulated
with a fake smile as his gaze shifted from the flag back to Lloyd.

"Thank you anyway, although I know you didn't mean that. I hope you can still laugh once you witness
its power," Lloyd responded.

"Ha-ha! Sure. I'd like to see what this sacred weapon of your sect can do." Frank laughed.

The next moment, his entire momentum surged out like the high tide. Seeing him make a move, Walt
and the other saints also gathered their strength.

The battle was about to begin.

The warriors around them were terrified when they felt the oppressive atmosphere and quickly
distanced themselves further from the saints. They didn't stop running until they thought that they were
at a safe distance from the battlefield.

Once they managed to settle down, the discussions began once more. "Do you think the Lloyd can
stand his ground against the twelve saints by using the Five-Element Flag?"

"I don't think so. I agree that the flag's immensely powerful, but the Luo Clan carries a sacred weapon
of its own. Also, Walt is the leader of a tribe so he must have one with him too. Even if the sacred
weapons weren't in play, I don't think Lloyd can fight twelve saints all on his own."

"You're right. So many saints are impossible to defeat."



While the warriors were engaged in a heated and lively discussion, Lloyd made his move. He
transferred his power into the Five-element Flag, and it grew enormous in an instant, quickly
transforming into a world.

Ricky was familiar with this world since it was the Five-element Sect's ancestral land.

'So the Five-element Flag can turn into the Five-element Sect's ancestral land?' Ricky murmured
inwardly in a curious tone.

"It looks like the Five-element Flag was created in the Five-element Sect's ancestral land and has now
become a part of the latter. When you grow stronger, you can also summon the Five-element Sect's
ancestral land using the Five-element Flag. I believe the deputy leaders of the Five-element Sect truly
wanted you to be the holy son of their sect, although, I must say, they are yet to recognize you,"

the Dragon Intent Grass explained.

"Hmm... I hadn't expected that there would be such a unique connection between the Five-element
Flag and the Five-element Sect's ancestral land. If they hadn't trusted me earlier on, they would not
have allowed me to refine the Five-element Flag," Ricky responded. He now felt grateful for the Five-
element Sect's belief in him.

Inside the battlefield, when the Five-element Sect's ancestral land appeared,

eight figures also appeared and rushed out of it.

Ricky recognized two of the eight, and they were Wells and Shirley.

Lloyd had used the Five-element Flag to ask the other saints of the Five-element Sect for help.

The arrival of the eight saints took Frank and his men as well as the audience by surprise.



They hadn't thought that the other saints of the Five-element Sect could directly arrive wherever the
Five-Element Flag was.

"The Five-element Flag can communicate with the ancestral land of the Five-element Sect, and the
latter's saints can enter the ancestral land directly. This means that anyone who possesses the Five-
element Flag can summon those saints anytime he wants. I bet that Frank and his people won't trouble
you too much now. The crisis has been solved. The wood branch will be safe now,"

the Dragon Intent Grass said.

"Thank goodness!" Ricky heaved a sigh of relief.

Once they had recovered from the shock, the saints who were on Frank's side turned to look at him.

It was obvious that they were waiting for his order. They wanted to know whether they should fight or
not.

Although there were only nine saints standing against them, compared to twelve on their side, a fight
between the two sides would only cause chaos and damage and no side would end up the victorious
one. The Five-element Sect would be annexed by other forces, and the Luo Clan would suffer the
same fate.

Frank's face had gotten gloomy now.

His initial plan was to take over the wood branch quickly before anyone from the other four branches of
the Five-element Sect could notice.

But the Five-element Flag had ruined his plans.

"What's your decision, Frank? What are you going to do?" Lloyd asked.



Wells stepped forward. "Although our sect has declined over the years, it doesn't mean that any
random force can mess with us. Whoever tries to provoke us shall pay a heavy price," he threatened
with a ferocious expression.

"Fine!" Frank snorted as his eyes looked up and down at Wells.

He wasn't going to fight under such circumstances.

"I am going to leave now. But you should know that it is the people of the North Sect who have their
eyes on your sect, not me," Frank informed them.

Lloyd and other saints of the Five-element Sect bunched their eyebrows when they heard that.

The warriors were shocked once more.

The North Sect must be a powerful force. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to get people of the
Luo Clan to work for it.
