Meanwhile, at the Duad Formation Sect, Carlo was beyond frustrated. He had made plans with Jared, but now, Jared had completely disappeared off the grid.
The day for the sect leader's election was fast approaching. Carlo knew that with his current standing, it was impossible for him to becthe leader. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to join forces with Jared.
"Mr. Graham, Mr. Pritchard wants to see you." At that moment, a disciple from the Duad Formation Sect approached him.
Carlo nodded and headed toward the main hall.
The grand hall was filled with many individuals, the majority of whom were high-ranking members of Duad Formation Sect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe head of the Duad Formation Sect, Wulfric, was seated on his throne.
The system at the Duad Formation Sect was different from other sects. They would hold an election for sect leader every twenty years.
If the sect leader lacked sufficient strength or failed to win the people's hearts, and was consequently overthrown by others, then they would simply have to return to their previous position as an Elder and wait for the next opportunity.
One advantage of this electoral system was that it offered anyone the chance to becsect leader, while also preventing any individual from wielding absolute authority.
However, after hundreds and even thousands of years of changes, although this system still existed, it had essentially beca mere formality.
After each sect leader took office, they would work to expand their influence, using their power to accelerate their own cultivation.
As a result, even after the twenty-year term, no one dared to nominate a new leader. The original leader would often remain in position.
"Mr. Pritchard, were you looking for me?" Carlo asked, somewhat flustered upon seeing the sect leader.
His desire to seize the position of sect leader was a secret he guarded closely. He knew that revealing this ambition to Wulfric could jeopardize his standing within the Duad Formation Sect, and that was why he sought help from external forces.
He believed that only with their intervention could he have a chance to overthrow Wulfric.
"Mr. Graham, with election day approaching, what's your stance?" Wulfric inquired.
"Of course, we'll vote for you to continue your term," Carlo quickly replied, eager to flatter. "Under your leadership, our sect has becincreasingly powerful." Without the absolute power to overthrow Wulfric, Carlo would certainly not oppose him in any way. "Hahaha, you truly understand the bigger picture, Mr. Graham. But I heard that a few days ago, you went to meet with Elder Divinus, right?" Wulfric's expression suddenly turned slightly cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarlo's divine markings shuddered, then he nodded. “Indeed, I visited Elder Divinus because I had sdifficulties with my cultivation and hoped he could help clear my doubts."
Wulfric's tone grew cold. "Really? At your level, you only get the chance to meet Elder Divinus once every fifty years. Did you use this opportunity E just for a minor issue? Or were you meeting him for another reason? You didn't go there to report on me, did you?" "No, no, no, I was genuinely seeking advice, not tattling on you. Such a crucial opportunity, would I waste it just to tattle?" Carlo hastily waved his hand.
However, by this time, Carlo's forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.
"That's a relief. Someone toldthat you, Mr. Graham, were interested in becoming the sect leader. I found it hard to believe. After all, over the years, I've treated you quite well. All these years, you've been sneaking out to take on private jobs and earn money. I've turned a blind eye to it. I've been good to you." Wulfric was deliberately provoking Carlo.
Carlo quickly began to flatter Wulfric.
"You've shownimmense kindness; how could I possibly m se consider becoming sect leader myself? I'll wholeheartedly support your re-election. In our sect, there's simply no one more suitable for the role than you, Mr. Pritchard." Carlo knew that if Wulfric becdispleased, his future at the Duad Formation Sect could becunbearable.
