"Well then, grandpa, we"ll see you again, soon, I hope . " Ed, Bella, and the others hugged Vortigern as they wished him well . He made a clear statement concerning his involvement in the war with Blood sect, and he wasn"t ready to go back to Avalon just yet . Thus, he decided to continue traveling for a bit more . According to his words, it was "more interesting" that way .

"I"m sure you"ll be okay . You"re much stronger than I could have ever imagined at such an age . And all of your friends as well…" Vortigern took a look at the close to a dozen, companions of Ed with red b.u.mps on their heads . It was as if "someone" struck them hard on the hard .

"Anyway, I"ve told you all I know about the Blood sect master . It"s up to you now . Good luck, and say h.e.l.lo to the others for me . " Vortigern waved goodbye to the group as Ed started to teleport them away .

"We"re in Sword sect city," Ed told the others as they noticed that it wasn"t Avalon where they teleported . "I still need to discuss things some things with Asem and the others here . "

Ed and the others started to walk inside the city . Immediately, the city"s people recognized them .

"It"s the sect master!"

"The sect master is back!"

Children and young adults were the happiest to see Ed . Of course, the older people were as well, but what they felt wasn"t happiness, but a sense of security instead . Ed, on the other hand, felt neither happiness nor sadness . He felt the weight of responsibility that the word "Master" carried .

"So this is what my father feels all the time, huh?" Ed thought to himself as he continued to walk and greet the citizens . Then, before long, he reached the sect grounds .

"Is Asem or Barsine around?" Ed asked one of the guards before he went any further . It would be a waste of time if he kept going around the sect looking for people, and they weren"t inside .

"Yes, sir! They"re in the main hall along with the Elders!" The guard said as he stood straight . He didn"t dare to look Ed in the eyes for some reason .

"I see…" Ed was taken aback by the weird reaction of the guard, but he quickly dismissed it and walked ahead .

Due to Ed"s stay in the city before, he was already familiar with the sect grounds . It didn"t take him a long time to reach the city hall . There, Asem, Barsine, Helena, the seven Elders, and the two twins were sitting and discussing stuff .

*Knock Knock*

Ed knocked on the door in order to attract the attention of the twelve of them . The noise stopped abruptly as everyone turned around to look at the one who dared to interrupt their meeting . Some of them had an angry look on their face, Helena included . But, the faces turned into ones of respect as they realized it was Ed, Helena excluded, as her face remained angry . She was still angry at Ed for not dueling her .

"Sect master, you have returned!" The Elders were quick to bend the knee, while Asem and Barsine, who spent more time around Ed, knew that he didn"t enjoy such antics . They simply bowed down a little in order to show their respect . He was the sect master, after all .

"Oh, exalted sect master, for you to grace them with your presence . Such insight! Such joy! Such-"

*BAM*

Goburou, who was running his mouth in order to embarra.s.s Ed, was stopped by a punch to the head . However, this time, he protected himself with his "b.l.o.o.d.y Drive" Hatsu .

"I had enough of your fist of love," He said as he retreated back and stopped talking .

"I had enough of your fist of love," He said as he retreated back and stopped talking .

"Please, don"t bow to me . I"m a human like you, and I don"t really like it . So, PLEASE, just a normal greeting is enough for me . " Ed told the group of people in front of him . Of course, his words were ignored by some people, while some others didn"t even bother to show him any respect . For example, Helena and the twins .

"For now, I"ll get straight to the point . Did the Poison sect make any movements?" Ed"s face turned serious as he squinted his eyes and walked over to sit at the long table .

"I"d like to say "no", but there was," Asem answered Ed with a serious face as well . Everyone joined Ed to sit at the table .

However, other than Sieg, Emilia and Raikou, the others decided to take a stroll around the sect . They knew that their abilities lied somewhere other than smarts, so they removed themselves willingly .

Ed didn"t say a word and instead waited for Asem to continue talking .

"They are recruiting people by the thousands . We"ve also found out that they"re buying high-quality weapons and pills . It seems that they are preparing for war…" Asem"s voice contained a hint of alertness . And Ed knew exactly why .

"So, Blood sect found out . " Ed"s mind started to study the current situation and their possibilities . If Blood sect realized that they were going to be attacked in a week"s time, they would be prepared . Which meant that Ed and the others lost the element of surprise .

"It"s fine…they would have found out once we started to move anyway . This simply means that it"ll be harder to fool them, but it doesn"t jeopardize our mission . Still, this is a good thing to know!" Ed didn"t lose any hope and instead decided to start working on a separate plan . One that would work best with their current situation .

"I"m still worried about how they found out, but I was able to find out about the survival of their master . Us preparing for war isn"t that hard to figure out, I guess?" Ed talked to himself at the same time as he discussed stuff with Sword sect .

"By the way, Sir Ed . Why did you return so quickly? I thought that it would be a long time before you could return to us again . Or even if you finished, with your teleportation ability, I was sure that you would return to Avalon first . Is there something that you need to do here first?" One of the Elders, a middle-aged man with a fat belly and a nearly bald head, asked Ed .

"There is something indeed," Ed said as he tapped on the table with his fingers . "I thought about something concerning the sect and this city . People are still afraid of the attacks from Poison sect, and they have some bad memories . Same for you, I believe . So, I wanted to propose something . Our continent is much safer than this one . And, since I need to keep coming over to the sect, it would be inconvenient . Thus, I wanted to ask you . " Ed stood up and put both of his hands on the table .

"Would you like to become part of Avalon?"Well then, grandpa, well see you again, soon, I hope . Ed, Bella, and the others hugged Vortigern as they wished him well .
