Chapter 261: Cheeky Knifears…

-----
Lord Ice Moon was a bit agitated, the dream he had a few days ago was still tormenting him. Even though he hasn't had a dream like this ever since then, this particular dream was still something holding him back.
"The dream dragon said something about getting rid of the trash of my sect… or that he would do it himself? What does this even mean?" wondered Lord Ice Moon, looking concerned about the future.
Did he realize that perhaps the dragon referenced the actual trash of his sect? Those corrupt Elders that held slaves and abused those in lower positions?
But how did this dragon just leaned that? And why?
Why would it even care then?
He considered many things as he read the papers given to him.
Apparently, Drake, the Sect Master of this small nomad Sect named Winter Dragon had been completing the dungeon every single day since he bought its license for a week.
And he had also been giving a large pile of dropped items as the 50%, but usually refuses to give any monster corpse… although the equipment of the Rank 3 Dungeon is great and possess elemental power, monster corpses are more valuable as their bodies can be used as materials to create alchemy items to enhance cultivation, especially the mana core of a Rank 3 monster, which costs a lot… but he had not breached the contract, meaning that he's really giving 50% of what he gets.
Although the Elder had his doubts, he considered that it should be impossible for anyone to break a contract unless they were of a Rank higher than him, and that wasn't the case as Drake was Rank 3. Even at Rank 4, he wouldn't be able to break it.
However, he also received reports of this Sect Master being rather arrogant against other Elders. Although the Lord Ice Moon knew these other Elders were just trying to extort him or blackmail him in some way or form, he always ignored them or outright intimidated them into leaving him alone.
Also, he got reports of the girl that is always with him, which had reached Rank 3 too, and it was reported she seems to be just as strong as him in terms of mana density…
"Well, I can overlook this, I don't care about those idiotic Elders that try to bully others… And he's actually abiding by all the rules, he even sleeps outside the sect, so I cannot really tell him much. I might be Rank 4 but that doesn't mean I have the right to go around annoying every person and forcing them to do what I want. With the contract, I believe it is more than enough… Though, some Elders are suggesting something I had not considered…."
Lord Ice Moon looked at other papers, which were a suggestion…
On it, an idea he had not considered emerged, which could strengthen the bonds between the Winter Dragon Sect and the Ice Moon Sect. Although Lord Ice Moon only saw it as a perfect opportunity for the Elders to try to bully Drake even more.
However, he found on it some interesting things, and with this, he could also get ahold of what kind of talents does the Winter Dragon Sect possesses and prepare some things against them if they ever dare to rebel. After all, as a sect master, he has to be several steps ahead of others, even potential enemies that seem completely friendly.
Not many sect masters would even allow another sect to use their resource points as he is doing, and this is mostly due to the greedy and profit-obsessed nature of the Elders that allowed this, they wanted to make Drake's sect something of a group of "miners" for their dungeons, so they do all the work, and they get half the profits without doing anything else.
Certainly, the sect master also found the charm behind such a thing, and this is why he didn't disapprove of the contract being made without his permission…
But because the Elders noticed that Drake wasn't being serviceable to them nor acting as a servant as they desired, they want to bully him and ridicule his entire sect in this tournament between both sects…
"I bet they have their most talented disciples ready too… It was reported some days ago that he had a lot of different race sect members, many of such races used as slaves in here. This probably also made the dispute and hate against him larger… I cannot help but feel intrigued about his full capabilities or that of his sect members, I was even told he has a Fire Attribute Magician, something extremely rare… I might as well allow it. What's the worse that could happen?" thought the Lord Ice Moon, stamping the paper and approving it.
He called an assistant as she moved the documents away for their later distribution. The Elders that proposed this tournament were quickly contacted, all of them smiled rather maliciously.
However, as he was done with these papers, Lord Ice Moon still felt bothered by the dream…
"Hahh… Should I really eliminate the Sect Elders that are… No, this is crazy, I will not obey a stupid dream over such things… Let's forget about it. If that dragon really comes here to slay them for me, then so be it. He'll save me the trouble." Thought Lord Ice Moon.
"Something is bothering you?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice resonated behind Lord Ice Moon's back.
It was very familiar, but for all the wrong reasons.
He looked behind him and what he found was…
"Hello, long time no see. I see that you were busy, I hope I didn't come at a wrong time."
A detestable elf.
"Lord Greenwood… What do you desire in my humble sect?"
The elf smiled a bit.
"I have come to see how things were. I see that there's a new sect going around here?"
"Indeed… Nothing to bother yourself for. Everything is in control."
"Hmm… I see. Well, I came here to tell you that I am severing my ties with you, don't ever contact me again."
"Have troubles tormented you, lord Greenwood?"
"Tch… Nothing that you should concern yourself about."
Flash!
And the elf was gone.
"Hmm… Cheeky knifears…"

Author's Note:
Thank you so much for reading this far guys, it has really been four months since I started this book and I can barely believe it has been almost half a year...
It feels like I started writing it just yesterday! I am so grateful for all of your support and to all those that buy privilege as well.
Drake had gone through a lot already, he has also gone through almost half a year of harships and adventures together... Perhaps at the beginning he was lonely, but as he grew up and developed some more, he found nice people to be at his side, and has properly made a big family to rely on, and a lovely wife to support him too...
I will make sure to work extra hard for every single one of you. You're my inspiration and what drives me to write this story, so never stop supporting me, pretty please!
Thank you once more, and see ya tomorrow for three more chapters!
