The legendary warrior novel Chapter 171

"That is Beast Fire!" Autelan looked at the flame, his eyes wide with amusement. He wanted so badly to swallow it in one gulp.

Beast Fire was so immensely alluring that even geniuses like Autelan could not hide their greed.

"Autelan, the Beast Fire is for you. Do you feel better now?" Ricky smiled.

"That's sounds better!" Autelan said, praising Ricky as he hastily took the Beast Fire into his own hands.

While others might not be able to hold Beast Fire with their bare hands, Autelan could do it easily as he had already achieved Bone Reinforcement.

"Edgar, I also prepare one for you, but given your current capacity, you won't be able to control it yet. So, I will give it to the sect chief when I meet him so that he can refine it for you," Ricky said, his attention turning to Edgar.

"Thank you so much, Ricky! I appreciate it!" Edgar exclaimed happily.

"You seem to have reaped abundant fruits during your trip to the Earth Fire Land. Beast Fire isn't something you can just get anywhere. It is so uncommon that it cannot be met without resort, but you got it regardless," Autelan said.

"Autelan, it was just a fluke! I was just lucky, you know? If you go to the Earth Fire Land, you'll surely get even more than I did," Ricky said.

"Well, never mind. Since you have come here, you must know about the situation in the Misty South Faction," Autelan said. "To speak bluntly, the Misty South Faction now only exists in name. The few commanders that survive now have no one and nothing to lead."

"Yes, I know all about it, Autelan. I always thought that establishing a faction was easy, but I was wrong," Ricky agreed. "Now that I have come back, I will make the Misty South Faction have tremendous sway in the Snow Sect, far beyond Casting Faction and Refinement Faction!"

"Good plan, Ricky!" Edgar said in support of Ricky.

"Ricky, the reason they were gone is because the Misty South Faction didn't have enough inner overmatches," Autelan said. "If we can recruit two more from the top ten inner disciples, I have the faith that some warriors in the ninth or eighth grade of Blood Purification will join us.

If more overmatches join us, disciples at the lower grades will do the same. Even though Refinement Faction and Casting Faction may disrupt the people, we can still order our disciples to contend against them."

"You are right, Autelan. After all, our top combat forces aren't enough. Are there any ideal candidates?" Ricky asked.

"If Caleb, the seventh-ranked inner disciple and Elvis, the eighth-ranked inner disciple join the Misty South Faction, things will turn out fine," Autelan answered.

"I tried inviting them once, but they were so stubborn. They refused to join any faction no matter what I did or said."

"Autelan, I have an idea. What if I seduce them with Beast Fire? Do you think they'll agree then?" Ricky asked.

"You have more Beast Fires?" Autelan said, clearly astonished.

"Of course!" Ricky said.

"Wow, you have so much Beast Fires! It makes me want to go to the Earth Fire Land myself someday, but I don't know if I could ever be as lucky as you were," Auteland mused.

"If you seduce them with your Beast Fire, I don't think they will ever refuse our reputation. That is, if they aren't crazy or stupid."

"Good! Let's take Caleb and Elvis down first," said Ricky.

...

A while later, the four went to the refinement yard where Caleb and Elvis were.

The moment Ricky and Autelan showed up in the area, the disciples of the Snow Sect immediately wondered and gossiped about why the two were there.

"It looks like they are on the way to Caleb and Elvis' yard!" some disciples whispered.

"Of course they are! Given the situation in the Misty South Faction, I'm sure they need Caleb and Elvis to join them in order to help them reverse the situation," the other disciples echoed.

"But Autelan has tried to convince them to do that. Do you think they have a better chance to convince them now that Ricky has returned?" one disciple wondered.

"Maybe they simply want to try again!" another disciple answered.

"I don't think there is anything they can say to convince Caleb and Elvis. I mean, the Casting Faction and Refinement Faction have invited them again and again, but never did they agree," another disciple noted.

...

Due to all the whispers, Gennadi and Wyn inevitably heard about the plan of Ricky and Autelan.

Even though they were no longer the heads of the Casting Faction and the Refinement Faction, the members of both inner and outer as well as all the matters were still under their command.

Gennadi and Wyn also believed that Ricky and Autelan's plan was all wishful thinking. They didn't believe Caleb and Elvis would ever agree to their request, especially since the establishment of the Misty South Faction was merely an empty promise.

Nevertheless, they waited to see Ricky and Autelan get shut down by the two immediately.

...

As part of the top ten inner disciples, not belonging to any faction, Caleb and Elvis had several similar characteristics, so they naturally became good friends and decided to live in the same yard.

The moment Ricky and Autelan arrived at their yard, Caleb and Elvis immediately went out to greet them.

It was Ricky's first time seeing the two. The seventh-ranked and eighth-ranked disciples had delicate and common faces. Ricky thought they looked simple and honest, even a little silly. Now, Ricky could see why Autelan said they were stubborn.

But Ricky also knew people like them were smart, or they wouldn't keep themselves out of any faction.

"Autelan, what are you doing here again? We already told you that we will never agree to join the Misty South Faction," Caleb said coldly, before Autelan could even say anything.

Besides, they had already gathered blood vitality above their hands in case Autelan would attack them.

"Ha-ha, it's him who wants to talk to you, not me!" Autelan laughed, pointing at Ricky.

"Nice to meet you, Caleb and Elvis. I am Ricky!" Ricky said, walking towards them and shaking their hands.

"Ricky, you are the head of the Misty South Faction," Caleb said, frowning.

"Yes, it's me. To be honest, I am here to invite you to join the Misty South Faction," Ricky said.

"Ricky, we are well aware that you are a legendary figure in the Snow Sect, but we have already told you of our decision. We are determined not to join any faction," Caleb said.

"We have declined as many as ten invitations from both Casting Faction and Refinement Faction, so don't waste your time on us anymore," Elvis added.

They didn't say it explicitly, but their words implied that if strong factions like Casting Faction and Refinement Faction had been declined, then there was truly no chance for the poor weak Misty South Faction.

"Ha-ha. Hear me out though. You refused them because none of them could offer you what you truly want," Ricky responded with a smile. He knew that he had the thing they wanted.

"Ricky, what do you mean?" Caleb and Elvis said, clearly feeling offended. They didn't like Ricky having treated them as people that could be bought with money.

"Don't be angry." Ricky smiled, as he took out two magnificent flames of Beast Fire.
