Chapter 152 Chapter 152 - Evil Sect Leader?
'Well, seems like that worked,' thought Aiden.
However, Li Yang didn't seem to be convinced by the act which Aiden had just done as his face made quite a weird expression when looking down.
An expression which could mean many things but one thing was sure, Li Yang was currently doubting the identity of the person that was in front of them.
Nonetheless, he decided to wait later to confront him or investigate as this feeling of his was only based on intuition.
"Right, can someone quickly summarize the current situation that we're in?" asked Aiden to the five people in front of him.
But when he saw the faces of disbelief on each of their faces, he knew that he had just made a mistake, however, not a single one of them asked about why he would ask such a question, they were too scared.
In fact, the one who had just vaguely disrespected him began talking and explaining everything.
"We are currently at the start of a war against the Plum Blossom which makes up to two times the amount of cultivators that we possess, and the chances of us winning are quite low. In fact, the only way for our sect to win is your interference," said Li Yang, keeping a smile on his face.
He didn't want to show that he doubted the identity of the man that was currently in front of them. But, he couldn't help himself but tell him that he would have to act for them to win.
Li Yang was interested in the reaction of their Sect Leader who was normally quite ruthless to others.
'I guess, being given such a strong position, there had to be something that would make this trial difficult,' thought Aiden, as he had already expected that this war would be difficult.
Well, it had to be a trial, after all.
If all Aiden did was stay inside this gigantic room sitting, then this wouldn't even be a trial to begin with.
"Good job keeping up with the status of the Sect, I was only testing you," said Aiden, trying to make it seem like he already knew all of that.
All of them except Li Yang made an expression of understanding, thinking that Aiden was telling the truth.
They didn't want to doubt their leader, especially in such a situation.
"And don't worry about me, I'll make sure that we will win. Because if I don't, then I'll die," said Aiden, knowing that this was something factual as the system had told him before entering the trial.
It wasn't like Aiden had many choices as to how he was going to act in this trial. He had no choice but to win this war.
Maybe he wasn't acting like he was supposed to, but did that really matter?
All Aiden needed to do was win this war and he had also read that he had gotten the strength of the person which he was currently impersonating.
"Then, you can go and recruit the most talented disciples that we have for this war as we will need all the help that we can get," said Aiden, with a smile on his face.
However, Li Yang was now in disbelief, in fact, everyone's faces in the room were one of disbelief.
The Sect Leader who had always been emotionless, killing everything that was in his path to reach the top was smiling at them.
Were they dreaming or did something happen between yesterday and today?
No matter how weirded out the five people in front of Aiden were, none of them spoke up and simply bowed.
"We will do that, when should the attack of the Plum Blossom Sect start?" asked Li Yang, who was once again, directly speaking to Aiden without using any kind of honorifics.
However, Aiden didn't even notice it as he wasn't used to being respected because he didn't have enough strength.
He, also, had to admit that it was quite weird to see people listening to everything that he wanted without even questioning it.
'Did the system want me to feel what power is like?' thought Aiden, as he knew that there was a possibility that all of this wasn't a coincidence at all.
He knew that the system was able of many things, and he couldn't help but doubt that the trial that he was going through right now was related to what he was currently living.
In fact, his second trial had also been related to what he had been living, as he had gotten Assassin-Related Skills by being an assassin in his trial.
Maybe the trials were influenced based on what the person doing them was feeling or living at the moment.
But, then he dismissed those thoughts as he needed to answer Li Yang's question.
'When should we attack them? How would I know?' thought Aiden, as he had no idea of what decision to do at the moment.
'Well, the sooner we attack the better right?' thought Aiden, quickly making a decision as he didn't want to stay silent.
He needed to show his now generals that he knew what he was doing at the moment.
"In two days, we'll attack the Plum Blossom Sect, so hurry and gather all the best cultivators that we have," said Aiden in a dismissive tone, as he didn't want this conversation to continue any further.
He wanted them to leave this room and let him think a little about what he was going to do because it had only been minutes since he had appeared there and he was already making decisions that could decide the outcome of the trial.
Aiden needed to figure out many things, and he needed to make sure that he would win two days from now.
That was the most important task that he had, as he needed to win this trial in an impressive fashion as he still needed to win the Inter Family Tournament.
Because if they had lied about this being a fake trial, the rest of what they had said would probably still be useful.
