---- Chapter 3302 Jerome and the others could not help but smile as well. Nyx was a foreigner and did not truly understand Holtrien culture. However, the way she mimicked the gestures still looked sincere and oddly charming. Luther smiled warmly and asked, "Youngdy, what is your name?" Nyx blushed and replied, "My name is Nyx Kerrigan." Luther nodded and looked at Andrew with some regret. "If she had not broken her purity ande to cultivate at Mount Lourneau, she could have directly reced me as the head of Mount Lourneau one day.
What a pity..." Andrew cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Johnston, honestly, having a good husband might give her a better future than suffering through years of cultivation up here. If you don''t believe me, you can ask her yourself." Luther''s eyes widened in exasperation, "Andrew, if you''re going to talk like that, then we can''t continue this conversation. Fine, besides the five major sects you mentioned earlier, there''s also the Sword Sect, Thunder Sect, and the Harmony Sect." Valerie asked excitedly, "May I ask, Mr.
Johnston, is the ---- Harmony Sect what I think it is?" Luther''s eyes widened, "Yes, and no. You must understand that the dual cultivation method has existed since ancient times. Its legacy continues to this day, and its power remains undiminished. "The leader of the Harmony Sect, Madam Dorothy Fontaine, is an expert whose abilities are not much inferior to mine.
If you think the Harmony Sect is some indecent or corrupt faction because of that, then you are gravely mistaken." Andrew said, "I haven''t actually seen anyone from the Harmony Sect moving about in the secr world." Luther stroked his beard and replied, "Most of the Harmony Sect disciples are stunningly beautiful women. When they appear in the world, it is never in ordinary ces. Most of them are extraordinary women, and once their cultivation isplete, they leave worldly life and return to the sect for secluded practice." Andrew nodded, showing that he understood.
Among Holtrien''s ancient sects, there were very few like the Divine Alchemists that maintained massive industries in the modern world. As for ones like Mount Lourneau, which were widely revered by the public and constantly visited, they were almost nonexistent. ---- The Mount Lourneau sect was one of the most sessful ancient sects to transition into modern society. Jerome suddenly spoke and said, "Mr. Johnston, I heard you recently attended an ancient sect assembly. May I ask about it?" Luther sighed, "Even if you didn''t ask, I would have mentioned it.
Andrew, there''s nothing wrong with your inquiring about the Eight Ancient Sects. After all, the Eight Ancient Sects have, across several eras and generations, sessfully repelled the Western Dark ns. Even now, Mount Lourneau''s archives still contain records from those times. However, the overall strength of Holtrien''s Ancient Sects has declined." Luther added with a heavy tone. "If we were to sh with the Dark ns again, we would most likely lose." Andrew replied calmly, "Even if we are going to lose, we can''t just sit back and do nothing.
Right now, war has already broken out at the Eastern Azure Gate. Those living on Holtriennd, especially the Ancient Sects that have enjoyedfort for centuries, should step up as well." Luther shook his head and replied, "That was exactly what the meeting discussed, but almost no one agreed to take action. Every faction only wanted to shut its doors and protect itself." Andrewughed loudly, but there was no humor in his eyes.
He ---- asked, "Then what if I force them toe out of seclusion?" Luther turned serious and replied, "Then it is very likely that before the external threat is resolved, internal chaos will erupt once again." Jerome, Valerie, and Eric all felt their expressions change slightly at those words.
