Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 576: Chapter 575: Jeang Zier

The woman’s expression was somber as she spoke softly, ”My father was in the River God Sect for seventeen years, and he knew the ins and outs of it like the back of his hand. But in the end, he couldn’t leave the River God Sect alive; he died right here inside!”

”Why?” Su Yang was surprised, ”If your father was in the River God Sect for seventeen years, then he should have been one of them, right? Why would he die there?”

The matter is a long story mainly due to our own sect,” the woman said quietly. ”My father came to the River God Sect because he was sent by our sect. The River God Sect took some things from our sect, and we wanted to take them back. In the end, the River God Sect discovered my father’s identity, and... and they killed him...”

Su Yang suddenly realized why the woman knew so much about the River God Sect. So that was the reason.

Su Yang asked, ”Are you sure he’ll go to the front?”

”Today is the time when the River God Sect sells Divine Medicine to outsiders. The Sect Master will definitely go to the front personally to see if there are any good items that he wants to keep for himself,” the woman said. ”He won’t miss such an opportunity!”

”If that’s the case, then I’ll go and wait for him to come back,” Su Yang nodded.

The woman followed Su Yang, rushing forward together. Along the way, the woman also told Su Yang a lot about the River God Sect, giving him a general understanding of it.

The so-called River God Sect was actually established only one hundred and seventy years ago. It started with one person, who stumbled upon a few Spiritual Medicines near the River God Cave and found a field of herbs, so he stayed there.

Later, he found that Spiritual Medicines would come out of the River God Cave every year. He began to sell these medicines externally, and with the funds, established the River God Sect.

After more than a hundred years of development, the River God Sect indeed became a significant force. They even brought the big families from Zifeng City and Yangchuan City under their control. Their development in recent years has been rapid and extraordinary. The Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province all come to ask for medicine, which is a signal.

However, the rise of the River God Sect was entirely in the style of an upstart, relying on those Spiritual Medicines, without much depth. Furthermore, the River God Sect’s recruitment of disciples was indiscriminate, leading to a mixture of the good and the bad inside, which could be called a cancer on the region.

The simplest example is that the Seven Great Families of Zifeng City and the big families of Yangchuan City sacrifice a group of virgins to the River God Sect each year for protection. That’s why the families from Zifeng City and Yangchuan City have much easier access to the River God Sect compared to others!

Once these girls arrived at the River God Sect, they became playthings for the Sect’s people. Those with a little luck might get some pointers and practice some skills, holding onto some connections to barely become heirs of the River God Sect.

Those less fortunate were abused and would be killed for non-compliance, or even if they were compliant and then grew tiresome, they would be sent back to those big families. These girls didn’t escape the Demon Cave; once outside, they would still be sold to other places and continue living a life without the light of day.

Su Yang originally didn’t know much about the River God Sect, but now, after listening to the woman, his brow furrowed tightly.

It seems that the River God Sect truly shouldn’t exist!

”By the way, we’ve been talking for so long, and I still don’t know your name, big brother!” the woman said with a smile. ”My name is Jeang Zier, from the Divine Farmer Sect!”

”The Divine Farmer Sect?” Su Yang looked at Jeang Zier in surprise, ”You’re from the Divine Farmer Sect?”

”Is there a problem with that?” Jeang Zier was also surprised, not understanding why Su Yang had such a strong reaction to the Divine Farmer Sect.

Su Yang, however, was thinking about the Divine Farmer Sect he had seen underwater before, Jeang Zier’s Divine Farmer Sect, and wondered if it had any connection to this Divine Farmer Sect.

”Hasn’t the Divine Farmer Sect already been wiped out?” Su Yang asked.

”You know about the Divine Farmer Sect?” Jeang Zier asked in astonishment.

”I’ve heard some things,” Su Yang replied casually. He wasn’t sure about Jeang Zier’s situation, so naturally, he couldn’t mention that he had just come from the Divine Farmer Sect. After all, he had taken away so many medicines from there and even tricked away the little turtle hatched from the Divine Egg. He certainly couldn’t tell the truth now.

”What you’ve heard of is probably our old sect,” Jeang Zier said. ”We are the Southern Divine Farmer Sect, meaning we’re the new Divine Farmer Sect rebuilt after the one you mentioned was destroyed. It was a few of the original sect’s disciples who rebuilt the sect in the south.”

Speaking of this, Jeang Zier smiled bitterly, ”To say that it’s the Divine Farmer Sect, in fact, we’ve already lost the heritage of the Divine Farmer Sect. We’re barely maintaining by relying on some techniques left by a few ancestors.”

Su Yang nodded slowly. He had a basic understanding of the situation now.

The old Divine Farmer Sect had been annihilated, and its heritage buried under the water. The new Divine Farmer Sect was actually just a shell, without any of the old sect’s strength.

While the new Divine Farmer Sect was struggling to survive, they discovered that the River God Sect had some of the Divine Farmer Sect’s Spiritual Medicine. Naturally, the Divine Farmer Sect entertained ideas and sent people to the River God Sect, trying to retrieve their medicine refining secrets.

However, after many years here, they found that the River God Sect didn’t know how to refine medicine at all, and those Spiritual Medicines indeed came from the River God Cave.

So, they shifted their focus to other aspects, such as the Five Element Crimson Fruit in the medicinal fields.

Su Yang glanced at Jeang Zier and said, ”The River God Sect is quite strong. Coming here alone to steal the Five Element Crimson Fruit, how is that any different from seeking death?”

Jeang Zier sighed, ”I know this is a near-death mission, but I have no choice. The Divine Farmer Sect is now at a critical moment of life and death. If I can bring back the Five Element Crimson Fruit, I might be able to save our sect. If I fail, our sect will probably be completely destroyed this time!”

Su Yang wanted to ask more, but at that moment, the path ahead turned, and a huge building appeared.

It was a building similar to a palace, lavishly decorated. From a distance, it looked majestic, resplendent, and awe-inspiring.

”This is the River God Sect!” Jeang Zier said.

Su Yang’s brow furrowed slightly: ”This River God Sect really knows how to show off!”

”The River God Sect Master loves grandeur. The top families of the two cities have diverted a lot of funds to build the River God Sect in these mountains for his favor,” Jeang Zier paused. ”It’s also because of this that the River God Sect Master has always been protecting the top families of the two cities. Especially the Seven Great Families, under the protection of the River God Sect, have come to control the entire Zifeng City, becoming its biggest tumor!”

Su Yang nodded slowly, having just come from Zifeng City, he was well aware of the situation. The ruler ship of the Seven Great Families in Zifeng City was in fact backed by the River God Sect!
