Ethan Clark spoke patiently. The reason he risked saying so much was because he could tell that William Harris was a man of great integrity, someone who regarded the Longevity Sect as everything. Such a person could be trusted.

“Longevity Sect’s Holy Son?! You even know about that? But if you want to become the Holy Son of the Longevity Sect, there will be great resistance. Even if I agree, the elders won’t. After all, your cultivation is too weak, and now you’ve caused such a huge mess!”

William Harris gave a bitter smile as he spoke.

The Holy Son of the Longevity Sect was established when the sect dominated the world ten thousand years ago. The Holy Son is the sole heir to the sect master, ranked above all the true disciples, with a status just below the sect master and even higher than the elders.

But over the past few thousand years, the Longevity Sect has grown weaker and weaker, and the position of Holy Son has been shelved. Aside from the sect master, almost no one knows the Holy Son even exists.

“The Holy Son of the Longevity Sect can only be me! As for resistance, that’s your problem. As the sect master, surely you can handle something like this, right? Once I become the Holy Son, you won’t need to worry about anything else. If anyone refuses to accept it, I’ll give them a lesson they’ll never forget!”

Ethan Clark grinned, his white teeth emitting a faint glow that made even William Harris feel a chill in his heart.

What a monster this one is!

“Sect master, sect master, how should we deal with this wretch Ethan Clark? Please give your orders!”

While William Harris and Ethan Clark were communicating via voice transmission, the many disciples were left confused. Matthew Wright couldn’t help but speak up to remind them.

“Elder Wright!”

William Harris’s gaze fell on Matthew Wright, sharp as a blade, as if he could see right through him, making Matthew Wright shudder involuntarily.

“The Hall of Enforcement upholds the sect’s rules and must be fair and impartial, discerning right from wrong. The Hall of Enforcement is meant to uphold the dignity of the Longevity Sect, not the dignity of any one person. Do you understand?”

William Harris’s voice was calm, but carried a hint of coldness.

Upon hearing this, Matthew Wright realized that William Harris was both warning the Hall of Enforcement and trying to excuse Ethan Clark, so he became anxious and quickly said, “Sect master, Ethan Clark desecrated the Supreme Statue, and when the disciples of the Hall of Enforcement tried to stop him, he turned around and injured his fellow disciples. He even spoke disrespectfully to both you and me. This child is rebellious and arrogant. Please punish him severely, or the public will not be appeased!”

“The public will not be appeased? Is it the public’s anger, or just the anger of your Hall of Enforcement?”

William Harris’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Matthew Wright and said, “I’ve said it before: the Hall of Enforcement is the Hall of Enforcement of the Longevity Sect, not of any one person. This matter ends here. Do you have any objections?”

Matthew Wright trembled all over, feeling the overwhelming aura of William Harris like the might of heaven itself. Only then did he remember that William Harris was the sect’s only true master. If he really angered him, he would not end well.

“What the sect master says is right. I have no objections!”

Matthew Wright gritted his teeth and could only reply reluctantly.

Everyone’s faces showed disbelief. That’s it?

Although the Hall of Enforcement’s attitude was usually detestable, Ethan Clark’s behavior today was also extremely arrogant. Yet the sect master wasn’t going to pursue the matter?

Could it be that Ethan Clark is the sect master’s illegitimate son?

Everyone’s eyes swept over Ethan Clark and William Harris, all showing a trace of oddness.

“There’s one more thing!”

William Harris looked at everyone and said loudly, “Ethan Clark is exceptionally talented. With only a fourth-level Open Vein cultivation, he defeated experts of the True Qi and Spirit Transformation Realms. He can be called the greatest genius our Longevity Sect has seen in ten thousand years. And do you know why he can summon thunder?”

Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with doubt. The sect master was praising Ethan Clark so highly, and they were all curious about how Ethan Clark could summon thunder.

“Because Ethan Clark has received the recognition of the Devouring Heaven Supreme!”

As soon as William Harris said this, everyone cried out in shock.

“What?!”

“That’s impossible!”

Everyone looked at Ethan Clark in disbelief. This good-for-nothing actually received the recognition of the Devouring Heaven Supreme? How could that be?

“Sect master, you can’t say things like that! The Devouring Heaven Supreme Patriarch ascended ten thousand years ago. How could he possibly recognize this wretch Ethan Clark?”

Matthew Wright also spoke with an ugly expression.

William Harris replied calmly, “How do you think Ethan Clark, with only Open Vein cultivation, was able to summon thunder? That purple thunder is the Divine Thunder of Purple Heaven cultivated by the Devouring Heaven Supreme Patriarch ten thousand years ago. That’s why the Supreme’s statue also contains the laws of the Divine Thunder of Purple Heaven. Just now, it was because Ethan Clark received the Supreme Patriarch’s recognition that he was able to summon the Divine Thunder of Purple Heaven!”

The Longevity Sect’s protective formation was a secret and could not be revealed, so William Harris attributed the thunder summoning to the Supreme’s statue.

“Nonsense, that’s impossible!”

Matthew Wright jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, his face flushed as he said, “Sect master, the Supreme Patriarch’s statue contains the laws of the Divine Thunder of Purple Heaven? How could I not know? I think Ethan Clark must have some thunder-attribute treasure that allowed him to summon thunder!”
