Chapter 1876
“Haha! First Fortress Master, it doesn’t seem appropriate if I don’t vote for you as you’ve voted for me,
even though you have magnificent fighting prowess.” Jackie chuckled. This old man Austin was too
hypocritical, and Jackie’s mind was boggled at that.
Nonetheless, it was a good thing that he kept stressing the power of a sect master. This old man would
not see it coming when Jackie got elected a s sect master.
Just as Jackie predicted, the First Fortress Master’s members voted for him, and none of them voted
for Jackie.
Austin coughed a little before saying, “Jackie, I believe that some of your people are also qualified to
vote. Why don’t you ask them to vote now?” The First Fortress Master felt somewhat sympathetic. After
all, none of them voted for Jackie.
“Alright, then!” Jackie nodded before gesturing to Alejandro and the others with his gaze.
Soon, Alejandro and the others walked forward to vote. Naturally, there was no exemption, and all of
them voted for Jackie.

After this round of votes was cast, Austin pretended to be embarrassed and awkward, muttering,
“Haha… Brother Jackie, I just…” He sighed before adding, “I truly am at a loss for words right now
about our Nine Armies. Is it because they’ve always been under my lead? Look at them! Can’t they see
that you’re exceptional? I feel all too guilty to be leading in so many votes-all of them had voted for me!”
He even pretentiously walked forward and spoke loudly to the crowd, “Brothers of the Nine Armies,
how can you guys behave like this? The votes have to be cast according to your heart’s wishes. You
can’t all vote for me just because I’m your First Fortress Master. Brother Jackie is quite an excellent
person, and you guys should cast some votes for him, too!”
Jackie was bewildered. This guy conceitedly came forward and tried to campaign votes for him?
“Alright, everybody, please continue voting and just follow your heart’s desires,” said Jackie smilingly.

Soon, it was time for the members of the Whittemore Fortress to cast their votes.
Fortress Master Whittemore smiled indifferently and walked forward to cast his vote for Austin.
Austin was even pleased when he saw that Fortress Master Whittemore had voted for himself. Since
the fortress master of their fortress had voted for him, there should not be any reason that the others
did not vote for him, right?
He did not expect what happened next.
Following Fortress Master Whittemore, elders of the Whittemore Fortress slowly walked forward and
cast their votes for Jackie. The remaining members who were in the Fifth-grade ultimate god level and
above also voted for Jackie.
In the beginning, Austin thought that the Whittemore family cast their votes for Jackie to protect
Jackie’s honor. However, Austin’s expression faltered when all members of the Whittemore fortress,
apart from their fortress master, voted for Jackie.
Fck! Is this happening because I campaigned for Jackie just now, and everyone’s voting for Jackie after listening to what I said? Fck me! These imbeciles! Can’t they see that I was just pretending to
campaign votes for him? I didn’t imply for them to vote for Jackie!’ Austin inwardly hissed to himself. He
should not have pretended to campaign for Jackie and said such words out of pretense. Things were in
Jackie’s favor as what he said had helped garner so many votes for Jackie.
Chapter 1877
After the members of the Whittemore Fortress voted, the fortress master of the Lavigne Fortress also
walked forward and voted for Austin.
Austin’s lips quirked into a small smirk at this. He believed that members of the Lavigne Fortress would
follow their fortress master and cast their votes to him as long as they were smart enough.

That was why it flabbergasted him when members of the Lavigne Fortress voted for Jackie instead.
Just like that, Jackie’s vote had surpassed him instantly and was obviously more than his.
Austin had a darkened expression on his face and did not know what to say.
He thought it through and walked forward to remind everyone present, “Everyone, please look carefully
and vote based on your wishes. The voting box for brother Jackie is over this side, and this one is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmine. Please line up nicely. The queue for the Lanson Fortress behind…”
However, such a reminder was useless until the end. The members of the fortresses, apart from the
fortress masters, voted for Jackie. Not only did Jackie have more votes than him, but the number of
votes he obtained was several times more than Austin.
Austin’s expression contorted darkly. Without a shadow of a doubt, Jackie would obviously become the
sect master.
Jackie came toward Austin and reminded him, coughing awkwardly as he did, “Ahem, ahem! First
Fortress Master, the voting has been completed. Shall we ask somebody to count the votes?”
The corners of Austin’s mouth slightly twitched before he said, “Is there still a need to count the votes?
The results are so obvious, and even a dummy knows who won. By the looks of it, everybody knows
that you have more votes compared to me!”
After he finished speaking, he soon remembered something. If Jackie was the sect master, was Jackie
not given the power of appointing the assistant sect master based on what he said?
He immediately smiled at Jackie. “Haha… About that, Pavilion Master Jackie, now that you’re the sect
master of our Nine Gods Clan, who do you think is more suitable to be the assistant sect master?”
Jackie thought about it and frowned. “It truly is a worrisome thing about who’s going to be the assistant
sect master. I think that the most obedient person shall be appointed. What do you think?”
Austin almost vomited blood in anger. This guy was obviously trying to subdue him.
Still, he was helpless and could only reply to Jackie happily, “Obedient? I’m definitely obedient. On top
o f that, I used to be the First Fortress Master. I’m the one with the highest coherence and charismatic
power. In the future, I’ll definitely assist you to manage the Nine Gods Clan well!”
Only then did Jackie laugh and exclaimed, “Glad to hear that. I announce that you are the assistant
sect master of the Nine Gods Clan!”
“Thank you, sect master, for your acknowledgement!” cajoled Austin despite his dissatisfaction. There
was nothing else he could have done.
He was extremely speechless and could not make out why the people by his side would not vote for
him. It was obvious that the eight fortress masters voted for him to give him face. The people under
them who did not vote for him were obviously notified by their fortress masters, or such a situation
would not have happened.
In truth, the people from the eight other fortress masters were just as baffled. Their fortress masters
asked them to vote for Jackie during the meeting last night but did not say much about the reason.
They only said that these people would learn about the reason soon.
Until that particular moment, many people were still kept in the dark and were clueless.
Chapter 1878
“Everyone, I now pronounce that Jackie is the master of our new sect, Nine Gods Clan, and he has
appointed me the assistant sect master! I hope that everyone will obey him and work hard together to
strengthen our sect!” announced Austin as he walked forward. “Let us now invite the Nine Gods Clan’s
sect master, Pavilion Master Jackie White, to speak!”
Everybody applauded thunderously, especially those who followed Jackie from the abandoned world.
They were overjoyed, despite not knowing how Jackie managed to have become the new sect master
and how he won the votes of the other fortresses.
Jackie walked two steps forward and said loudly, “The assistant sect master is right: we’re a family from
now on. As the new sect has just been established, we’ll make unitary tokens and disciple clothes for
everybody. Of course, I think that everyone can choose if they want to don these clothes, but I hope
that everyone can bring their tokens along whenever they leave the clan.”
Jackie thought about it before adding, “At this moment, those who are in the First-stage souls
penetrating level, apart from the assistant sect master, shall become the elders of our sect. Those who
achieve such fighting prowess in the future shall become our patronus!”
The eight other fortress masters were delighted when they heard this. They had already broken
through to the First-stage soul-penetrating level, and they had already become elders of the clan at that
moment.
Austin immediately frowned when he heard this and said to Jackie, “Pavilion master, apart from me,
nobody else is in the First-stage soul-penetrating level! The other fortress masters are in the
Ninthgrade ultimate god level. Does this mean that there won’t be any elders now? Will we only have
elders when they’ve broken through? How long would we have to wait until then? It’s not so easy to
break through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level.”
Jackie smiled and did not reply to what Austin said. Instead, he took a paper he prepared earlier on
and read the contents, “All elders shall have the same power, and their names aren’t listed in order!
“The First Elder is the fortress master of the Whittemore Fortress, Kieran Whittemore!”
Everybody immediately cheered and clapped.
Austin had an increasingly darkened look on his face when he saw Jackie take out that piece of paper.
By how Jackie acted, this guy knew long ago that he was going to be the sect master. He even wrote
the list down after considering who was going to be the first and second elder!
“The Second Elder is the fortress master of the Lavigne Fortress, Dominic Lavigne!” Jackie continued
his announcement. Just like that, the fortress masters from the remaining eight fortresses were
appointed as elders of the new sect.
“This is wrong! Didn’t Jackie say that only those who are in the First-stage soul-penetrating level are
qualified to become elders? Did the eight of them not break through yet? Why are they appointed as
elders just like that?’ The frown on Austin’s face deepened, and he was extremely puzzled. Why did he
feel that everybody was hiding something from him and only him?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, a member of the Nine Armies they sent, who was guarding at the mountain top not far away,
came flying over speedily at this moment,
“This is bad! This is bad! Members of the Blood Stalwart Pavilion are flying over, and fast. What should
we do?” blurted the frantic man the moment he arrived.
Although they knew that the members of the Alliance Guard would not let go of this so easily, they had
never imagined that they would send people over so quickly. “Trouble! We’re in trouble!”
Chapter 1879
Austin’s expression contorted in terror at this news, The sect had just been formed, but before he could
enjoy his new position as the assistant sect master, men from the Blood Stalwart Pavilion were coming
their way.
“We’re done for!” An elder who had just been appointed was just as frightened, and it showed visibly
through his darkened expression.
The overall combat power of the Nine Gods Clan had greatly increased and they had more people who
were in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, but the Blood Stalwart Pavilion had two masters who
were in the Third-grade soul-penetrating level and three who were in the First-grade soul-penetrating
level. This sect had 170 to 180 thousand people, and many of them were in the ultimate god level.
How could they defeat this army?
“Everybody, don’t panic!” Jackie was the only one who remained calm and quickly asked Austin,”
Assistant Pavilion Master, do you know the specific situation of the Blood Stalwart Pavilion? We might
b e able to handle them.”
Austin, still flabbergasted, instantly replied, “We can’t handle them. They have two masters in the Third-
grade soul-penetrating level and three who are in the First-grade soul-penetrating level. Throughout the
years, we couldn’t handle those three in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, let alone those two who
are in the Third-grade souls penetrating level!”
Just as Austin finished, they spotted a group of people flying over from far away and took up a large
area.
“Pavilion Master, shall we…escape? We’d still lose quite a large number of people even if we do,
though, seeing as the two masters from their side will be able to catch up to us, but our newly formed
sect will be wiped out if we don’t run for it!” Austin persuaded Jackie after thinking about it.
Jackie smiled after hearing about the Blood Stalwart Pavilion. “Haha! Assistant sect master, you don’t
have to worry. We still haven’t come to a situation where we need to escape.”
He then flew up into the sky and said loudly,” Everybody, today is a blessed day as the members of the
Alliance Guard came bearing a wonderful gift the moment our sect was formed. Recently, everybody
has been training hard, and I see that many have already had some breakthroughs in their fighting
prowess. Let’s enjoy the bloodshed once they arrive!”
Mystified, Austin hastily flew up to persuade Jackie,” Are you sure, Pavilion Master?! We can’t do that!
The opponent has two masters in the Third-grade souls penetrating level!”
Even the First Elder flew upward and said to Jackie, ” Pavilion Master, are we really getting into a fight?
Although we don’t have many people who are in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, they have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpeople who are in the Third-grade soul-penetrating level, and there are two of them!”
Unexpectedly, Jackie replied nonchalantly, “Listen carefully, everyone: Leave those two in the
Thirdgrade souls penetrating level to me, and I’ll leave the others to you guys. That should be fairly
simple, right?
Austin’s face was covered in cold sweat, and he insisted with a tight smile, “Pavilion Master, it won’t be
easy for us to handle the others! They have three people who are in the First-grade soul-penetrating
level!”
“Haha… What’s there to be afraid of? Aren’t our elders in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, too?”
Jackie laughed, and a strong wave of aura exploded from his body. The horrifying fluctuation caused
many people’s facial expressions to change out of fright. “I’m also in the First-grade souls penetrating
level, too!”
Chapter 1880
‘He’s really in the First-grade soul-penetrating level! ‘Austin took a deep breath at the sight of Jackie.
Jackie was only in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level previously, and Austin estimated that it was
exceptional for this guy to breakthrough into the Eighth-grade ultimate god level even if he trained hard
recently. Nonetheless, he was no match for the masters in the Third-grade soul-penetrating level.
However, Jackie, who was in front of him, was definitely in the First-grade soul-penetrating level.
He was certain that if Jackie wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as cutting vegetables.
First Elder Kieran was exhilarated by this fact.” This is great! If our sect master can handle those two in
the Third-grade soul-penetrating level. Leave the rest to us!”
“Haha! If that’s the case, we’ll be able to fight this battle with them. F*ck! We’ll get lots of treasures after
killing them for sure!” The second elder also flew up, and excitement was written all over his face. He
wanted to test his combat power badly as he had just broken through, never expecting that a chance to
test his capabilities so soon.
Utterly dumbfounded, Austin gulped and asked, albeit rather shakily, “Have… Have you guys broken
through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level,
Too?”
“Of course! There’s no need to worry. If the sect master can handle those two in the Third-grade soul -
penetrating level, not only will we win, but we’ll have an overwhelming victory, too!” The second elder
smiled happily.
Jackie thought about it and said, “By the way, there’s no need for all of you in the First-grade souls
penetrating level to join the battle together-four of you will be sufficient. Of course, some might be able
to make it out alive, seeing how many there are. On top of that, there’s a forest over there, and I’m sure
some of them will be capable of escaping. It wouldn’t be a good thing for the Alliance Guard to learn
about our situation right now.”
The first elder’s eyes lit up when he heard this.” That’s right! Pavilion Master, your thoughts are so
correct! Apart from our sect master, there are nine of us who are in the First-grade souls penetrating
level now. Haha… If the Alliance Guard learned about this, they’ll definitely send stronger sects to
attack us next time! We have to conceal our true strength so that they’ll have the wrong impression.
This shall give us a chance to grab an opportunity for ourselves!”
“All… All of you have really broken through?” Austin was still in disbelief and bewildered.
“Yes, we’ve all broken through!” Only then did Kieran explain things to him. “Do you know why our sect
master can break through so quickly? Not only is he extremely talented, but he’s also a third grade
premium alchemist! In this entire world, he should be the only third-grade premium alchemist. Assistant
Pavilion Master, let me tell you: it wouldn’t be an issue for our sect to expand if we’re given time!”
“My stars… Am I hearing right? A third-grade premium alchemist?!” Austin was once again shocked.
No wonder the members of all eight fortresses voted for Jackie. Turns out, Jackie was a third-grade
premium alchemist. It looks like Jackie secretly gave them pills. How else could they have all broken
through?
He had to admit that third-grade premium pills were precious items from heaven to people in the
Ninthgrade ultimate god level who wanted to break through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level.
“Pavilion master, I’m so loyal to you…” Austin was devastated at how unfair it was that he did not
receive these benefits.
