Chapter 2496

The first match ended successfully. There would be a short break before the second match started. Right now, one could feel the undercurrent in the air.

Although Maxim and others were still in their seats, behind the scenes, many of Maxim's subordinates had already begun taking action.

Harvin Carver, the head of the Carvers, kept observing Maxim secretly. Harvin was in the opposition, but now, his forces had all become Maxim's men.

Currently, Maxim had already eliminated all forces that showed a slight opposition or dissatisfaction toward him. In other words, it was not surprising that Maxim had decided to act. Nine-tenths of the people at the competition venue were his men.

Harvin stood up and was about to leave.

At this time, Dunbar Bullocks, the head of Skyearth Clan, came over.

"Mr. Carver, the game is about to start. Where are you going?"

Harvin was not surprised by Dunbar's sudden appearance.

Harvin turned around and said, "Oh, Mr. Dunbar. I just need to use the washroom. Besides, my brother has already lost, so I have no interest in the competition. The participant for the next match is one of yours, right?"

"Yes, he's a young man."

"In that case, help him achieve a good result. I have to go."

"Okay, Mr. Carver. Please give me your best wishes."

Harvin walked toward the washroom with a dark expression. He kept analyzing the current situation in his mind.

"Fellow disciples, the Woods will definitely obey Maxim's orders. Leuca, what's going on at your end? I think the Skyearth Clan has also joined Maxim's side. Otherwise, Dunbar Bullocks would never have approached me just now to test

me.

"Where are the Dunes and the Bijous of the Mossery Duet Clan? I think those two old guys have also become Maxim's lackeys.

"Based on this trend, it seems that Maxim's purpose is to provoke changes in the entire region and subvert the structure of the entire region. But is it really that simple? Damn... I have too little information..."

...

Huntley had analyzed the current attitudes of all the forces in the East District of the Northern Territory.

"The head of the Carvers... I have a feeling he might have been swallowed up by Maxim. The information we currently have is that Maxim plans to sacrifice himself by entering the Celestial Tree, destroying himself and the tree together.

"Then, he'll use Thresmund's ability to absorb immortal power to revive himself..."

Nash lowered his voice at this time and said, "It's very likely that we'll only have support from the Enigma Clan. If this is the case, the three of us are up against tens of thousands of cultivators from the East District of the Northern Territory."

Clint and Huntley could not help but express their anxiety. Putting the world's troubles aside, the three of them were participants in the competition, after all, so they would probably be in a lot of trouble.

...

Anox had already received the command on his phone.

[If something happens later, put your own personal safety first.]

The rest of them were looking after the injured Enid, and they did not notice what was going on with Anox.

Anox recalled the scene when he left the Mossery Duet Clan.

"Grandma..."

"In the end, you still have to bear everything..."

Anox gathered himself and began to analyze the current situation.

"Let's put the competition aside for now. In fact, the result seems unimportant. The surveillance, Thres' situation, and Grandma's intention... What exactly does Maxim want to do... I haven't seen Thres until now."

Suddenly, something clicked in Anox's mind, and he quickly opened the door and entered the infirmary.

"Everyone, something is happening!"

...

The second match began. Marino was facing off against Denevor Bullocks from the Skyearth Clan.

She pinched her shoulders and muttered to herself, "Tsk, even though I'm allowed to compete as per normal, Anox's words are still a bit concerning..."

Marino looked at the waiting area.
