Chapter 1253 Territory Battle

"Well, you don't need to concern yourself with that, Frank," maintained Lloyd. "You seem confident
about that.

Then I'm really looking forward to the day when you, the Five-element Sect, can reappear your glorious
glory!" Frank replied snidely.

After saying that, he turned his back on them and quickly left with his people.

They couldn't fight anyway, so it would be meaningless to stay.

The North Sect had initially declared that they would support the Luo Clan, but the Luo Clan had no
assurance of their loyalty. If they fought with the Five-element Sect now, they could win but would
surely suffer grave injuries. In that case, the North Sect might turn on them and take advantage of their
momentary weakness.

Therefore, Frank couldn't attack recklessly and with no assurances.

And besides, even if the North Sect dared to blame him for not standing up to the Five-element Sect
right now, he had a very good reason to back him up.

"You must be Ricky, right?" said Brandon to Ricky before he left. "Yes, I am,"

Ricky immediately replied, to which Brandon nodded. "I'll make sure to remember your face.

Enjoy your life to the fullest in the coming days because I'll come back after a while, cut your head, and
send it to Walt as a gift," Brandon warned him in a calm tone as if he was just talking about the
weather.

However, his words didn't belie his sinister intentions, and his eyes were clouded with contempt for
Ricky.



"Don't let your mouth write checks that your ass can't cash. I'm warning you. If you come for me and
lose, I won't hesitate to trample your head under my feet,"

Ricky countered coldly.

Of course, Ricky shouldn't be expected to be polite to Brandon, who had been so impolite to him.
"You're pretty arrogant as a guy who comes from a no-name place!"

After saying that, Brandon left with a slight sneer.

This was how a potential war was concluded.

Meanwhile, the saints of the other branches approached Ricky, asked him some questions, and then
left as well afterward.

And as soon as they arrived in the hall, Lloyd immediately thanked Ricky, Ashley, and Hayes for their
help. "You did a good job. The Desolate Sorcery tribe is saved thanks to you guys.

Now, the Desolate Sorcery tribe will look for a place to settle down under Mordechai's leadership."

"Humph! Someone here has brought much bigger troubles, though," Ashley sneered as she glared at
Ricky coldly.

Ricky only shrugged indifferently, knowing that Ashley was looking at him.

"This is a typical problem between great forces. Even before Ricky killed Lundy, the Five-element Sect
has been in conflict with the Luo Clan and the North Sect for a long time, and the two groups have long
coveted the Five-element Sect's territory. Lundy's death only served as a trigger," explained Lloyd.

"But with the North Sect as our enemy, our Five-element Sect is in terrible danger now," Hayes whined
worriedly.



"You are right. If the North Sect is involved in it, our Five-element Sect is indeed in great danger. But
the North Sect probably has no time to deal with us, and that is why they are taking advantage of the
Luo Clan this time," Lloyd answered objectively.

"The North Sect is preoccupied with the more influential forces, so we don't have to worry about them
for now.

And besides, you don't need to concern yourself with these problems. You have to focus on your
training, so you can grow stronger." Lloyd expected them to grow stronger as soon as possible. He
then continued, "Don't forget that you need to prepare yourself for the Territory Battle, which will be in
three months!"

"A Territory Battle?" Ricky asked curiously.

"The Territory Battle is connected to the conflicts between the forces," explained Lloyd. "First, you must
know that our Five-element Sect has some Territory Seals in the Territory Battle. But if our disciples can
obtain more Territory Seals than we currently have, the region of our Five-element Sect can get bigger.
Plus, our territories will be protected by the biggest force, the Misty South Palace, for fifty years."

"That sounds very interesting. Can you please tell me more about it?" Ricky entreated shyly, looking a
little embarrassed. He had no idea what this Territory Battle was, nor what the Territory Seal was.

Nodding slightly, Lloyd continued, "The outer region of the Middle Land holds a Territory Battle every
two hundred years. It was launched to redistribute the territory of the Sage Level forces, hence its
name."

"Two hundred years!" Ricky murmured in awe.

"The Misty South Palace had launched the first Territory Battle, and they did it to maintain the balance
among different forces. They don't want a bloody war to happen," explained Lloyd further. "The various



forces let their disciples fight with each other.

This way, any all-out wars among the powerful forces are avoided, and it also allows the more talented
disciples to stand out. Those talented disciples are then inspected by the Misty South Palace."

"It seems like the Misty South Palace did this to fight against the devils," Ricky surmised.

"That's correct. The peaceful eras that the whole Misty South had enjoyed for thousands of years only
occurred thanks to the establishment and contribution of the Misty South Palace.

The Misty South Palace is indeed worthy of our respect," agreed Lloyd.

"A large amount of pure fighting energy has accumulated in a large ancient battlefield in the inner
region.

Warriors absorb the pure fighting energy there as if they are absorbing the purest essence from heaven
and earth. Those warriors who have mutants can strengthen their mutants, while those without mutants
can strengthen their bodies.

If you are lucky enough, you can even absorb the pure fighting energy and own a fake mutant if you
don't have any."

"Wow! It can even give you a fake mutant!" Ricky blurted out in astonishment.

"Indeed, that is how powerful the pure fighting energy there is. It's as powerful as any Sage Level pills. I
mean, nobody would participate in the Territory Battle if that weren't the case," Lloyd responded.

"Pure fighting energy is the power of the essence of heaven and earth, which cannot be met and can
only be found in those large ancient battlefields. I'm really looking forward to it," Hayes remarked.

In the next moment, Lloyd flipped his palm around and took out a token.



It had a light gray color in the shape of a square. Ricky sensed with his mind that there was an invisible
space inside the token, but he couldn't tell how big it was. Strangely, it felt infinitely vast, and at the
same time, as small as an inch.

"This is the space for collecting the Territory Seals. The Misty South Palace's masters refined this
themselves," Lloyd revealed. "The masters of the Misty South Palace will transfer the Territory Seals to
the ancient battlefield beforehand.

And then, you will enter the ancient battlefield after three months. You have two major objectives in
entering the ancient battlefield. First, you have to get as many opportunities as you can and absorb as
much pure fighting energy as possible. Second, you have to find Territory Seals with this token.

You must get enough Territory Seals to protect the Five-element Sect's territory. After the Territory
Battle, the Misty South Palace's masters will divide the territory according to how many Territory Seals
every Sage Level force obtained, and they will give fifty years of protection as well."

"I see. So that is how a Territory Battle is conducted!" said Ricky, nodding. "Then how many Territory
Seals do we need for the Five-element Sect?"

"All in all, we only need four Territory Seals to maintain the territory of our Five-element Sect,"
answered Lloyd. "Thus, you must obtain four Territory Seals. You don't need to try and get more than
that, as our Five-element Sect is not planning to seize the territory of other forces.

Of course, don't force yourself if you can't get four Territory Seals. The most important thing for you is
to get the opportunities because the foundation of our Five-element Sect is still you guys," he added.

"Understood!" Ricky, Ashley, and Hayes replied with serious looks on their faces.

"There are still three months left. You just need to focus on your cultivation and practice hard to
strengthen yourselves," Lloyd then reminded them. "And no matter the time, strength is always a



necessity.

What's more, you have to face the geniuses of the whole outer region in the upcoming Territory
Battle."
