Outside the camp, the elder that Perry Kaner and Kieran met before was glaring angrily at Celty and an unfamiliar middle-aged man.
Both sides refused to give in and were ready for a showdown.
Kieran could see the obvious hatred in both their gazes.
Snake School and Raven Sect had a grudge against each other, it was clearly recorded in "Words of Sects" but it didn't mention what exactly happened between the two organizations.
Still, the short description was enough for Kieran to speculate.
Competition for resources.
Competition for disciples.
Expansion of influence.
Regardless of which it was, it was enough to turn both sides into enemies.
Following Kieran's arrival, both sides coldly grunted, expressing their disdain towards each other. Then, their gazes landed on Kieran.
"2567, if one of my collaborators were crows, I will not work with you even if I have to break my oath!"
Perry Kaner said in a firm and decisive manner.
"A person who isn't even a Prime Viper has control over the entire Snake School? As expected, after the destruction of Snake School, all it can do is hide in the sewers like a loach?"
Celty said with a cold laugh.
"Celty, you are just an amateur cook who mingles with the crows, what right do you have to judge us? If you have the mood to judge us, hurry up and go find your Crown Raven! Maybe he's still holding on, waiting for you to rescue him! "
The elder that came with Perry Kaner retorted mercilessly.
"Piret, you should be glad that Snake School was destroyed. Otherwise, how could you, the weakest branch of the eight branches of Snake School, soar to the top? You should thank the traitor from back then! "
Celty looked at the elder with a smile, he wasn't angered at all.
His tone was steady and his voice was clear.
Quite the opposite, the elder named Piret felt like his sore spot was seized. His face turned ugly and his hand unconsciously grabbed the hilt of his sword.
"You want to fight?"
Celty raised his hand and a cluster of fire burst out from thin air.
A battle was about to break out, but Kieran had no intention of stopping it.
His gaze swept past Celty, Piret, and the middle-aged man who traveled with Celty. His gaze lingered on Perry Kaner's expression for a moment.
The other party did it on purpose!
Deliberately provoking this conflict!
He hoped to use this conflict to lower the price the other party had to pay!
Otherwise, with Kieran's understanding of the other party, he wouldn't have acted so unwisely.
Another rebellion had broken out on their side. At this time, instead of trying to stabilize the situation, they went to provoke foreign enemies. Even an ordinary person wouldn't do this.
Moreover, Perry Kaner was an intelligent woman.
If it wasn't for the benefit, Kieran would have appreciated this approach.
But once there was a beneficial relationship …
Trying to snatch the spoils of war from the hands of a miser?
Even if you're a god, I'll destroy you!
Kieran's eyes turned cold. His killer intents had enveloped Perry Kaner and Piret without holding back. The middle-aged man who traveled with Celty cooperated and moved his feet slightly, blocking the way for the two of them to retreat.
Perry Kaner's face turned sour.
Her prediction was wrong again when she was facing Kieran.
Last time it was his strength and this time it was his character.
It was supposed to be a discussion but since Kieran was ready to make his move, it turned into a battle.
"Even against the Prairie invaders' army, he isn't that eager to help Snake School?
Or … His relationship with the Raven Sect is much closer than I thought? "
Perry Kaner wondered in her heart. She glanced over Celty and Maxim with the corner of her eyes.
As an enemy, Perry Kaner had a firm grasp of her enemy's information.
Whether it was Celty or Maxim, neither of them should be here!
Unless …
Perry Kaner raised both of her hands up when she thought of something. She had no intention to fight Kieran and said, "For the help you've given us before, I'm willing to pay a better reward. Basic and Thousand Viper level techniques are obviously not suitable for you. As for Myriad Viper level techniques, I'm restricted by my oath so I can't give you but [Viper Steps] or [Dormant Viper] are fine."
No doubt Perry Kaner changed her mind.
Kieran was sure that her initial plan was to give him one of the basic and Thousand Viper level techniques.
The agreement between both of them didn't specify the level of techniques but only the ones that Kieran couldn't grasp.
Celty and the middle-aged man were doubtful when they heard Perry Kaner's words.
However, what Perry Kaner said right after that made both of their faces turn sour.
"But, you've come in contact with Myriad Viper level techniques before and you have quite the attainment in it. It's something that even I can't be envious of!"
Perry Kaner said slowly.
She was trying to sow discord between Kieran and the Raven Sect.
Kieran knew it in his heart but he didn't retort.
He was completely surprised by the arrival of the Raven Sect and he wasn't sure of their intentions. It would be great if someone could help him test the waters at this critical moment.
Celty and the middle-aged man looked worried and Kieran extended his hand without further hesitation and said, "I want [Dormant Viper]!"
"No problem!"
Perry Kaner passed a goatskin scroll to Kieran without further hesitation.
It wasn't the original one but a copy.
However, judging from the edge of the scroll and the wooden shaft, it was quite old as well.
Surprisingly, the system acknowledged the skill book.
[Discovered skill book: Dormant Viper, learn? Yes/No?]
...
Kieran glanced over the two before him but he didn't choose yes.
"I need you to bring your men to fulfill the contract. I hope they will appear in Thunder Fortress within two days at the latest!"
"Of course!"
Perry Kaner replied. She then glanced over the two Raven Sect members before leaving the place quickly.
The unexpected appearance of the Raven Sect forced her to change her original plan.
However, different routes led to the same destination.
Perry Kaner then left.
Celty and Maxim walked over to Kieran.
"Thank you again for saving my life … Where's your Fire Raven?"
Celty bowed politely, as though he didn't look like he was shot in the back yesterday.
"What?
"You still think that I am the so-called Crown Raven?"
Kieran raised a brow and asked.
Kieran didn't want to be involved in such a misunderstanding.
Kieran knew if he pretended to be the Crown Raven Sect, it would be hard for him to clean up the mess in the end.
"No, no …"
Celty waved his hand repeatedly, his face was filled with anxiety and it seemed like he was trying to find the right words to say.
"Greetings, Hon. 2567!"
Maxim took a step forward and stood in front of Celty. He spoke on behalf of his friend, "Everything that happens has its own reason. It might be a coincidence or it might be inevitable. Before we truly understand the situation, any conclusion is just irresponsible nonsense."
"I hope you can tell us something and at the same time, we will return the favor. The invasion of the Prairies invaders is a problem that you need to solve and we can make it easier to solve! Of course, it's not the Snake school way! "
Maxim bowed again after he finished.
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw Maxim bowing.
Since he had chosen the most difficult way to face the Prairies invaders, he would need help.
He couldn't expect too much from the guards in Thunder Fortress.
If it was a smooth battle, they might be able to unleash some of their strength but once they fell into a disadvantageous situation, all that was left for them was defeat.
Kieran nodded when the thought came into his mind.
"Follow me!"
...
Just as Kieran brought the two Raven Sect members into Warren's camp, a group of scouts suddenly appeared at the north of Thunder Fortress, further away from the Prairies main camp.
A red flying dragon was branded on the right side of the armor, right where the heart was.
The Emblem of the Flying Dragon!
...
The Prairie King was lying on the soft blanket while a couple of beautiful maids were feeding him grapes. He opened his eyes all of a sudden. The silver brilliance that almost materialized filled the entire tent, causing the maids around him to kneel down on the ground in fear.
"You are finally here!"
