Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 582: Chapter 581 Master Fang

In the back mountain of the River God Sect, there was a hidden cave.

The space inside the cave was vast, and the entrance was extremely concealed; the average person would never discover it.

Deep within the cave, there was a huge stone platform. On the platform, there was a cluster of red light. In the midst of the red glow, an old man who looked to be as transcendent as an Immortal, sat cross-legged.

This elder was none other than Master Fang. Above his head hovered a piece of jade, within which a red Kylin roared and howled—it was the Kirin Jade that Su Yang had given him. The red light emanated from the Kirin Jade, enveloping him within it.

Next to the stone platform, four elders sat cross-legged, working together to oppose the red light. These four were the Great Elders of the River God Sect.

The power of the Kirin Jade was simply too strong. They had been working together for several days and had still not managed to bring down the Kirin Jade. Without the Kirin Jade, Master Fang would have long since perished.

Suddenly, a person entered the stone chamber, wearing a black robe, short in stature, with a somewhat sleazy appearance.

”Sect Master!” The four Great Elders hurriedly bent over and bowed, was this short man actually the Sect Master of the River God Sect?

”Hmm,” the Sect Master waved his hand dismissively, his face as cold as ice.

The four Great Elders exchanged glances with each other, and one of them whispered, ”Sect Master, what has happened outside? I’ve heard that the Five Element Crimson Fruit was stolen?”

”Hmm,” the Sect Master’s expression grew colder.

”Then... has it been recovered?” another hurriedly asked.

”That person is very slippery; I wasn’t able to catch up!” the Sect Master said with a deep voice.

The faces of the four changed; the Five Element Crimson Fruit was a treasure of the River God Sect. If it were lost, what then?

”You don’t need to worry!” the Sect Master said sternly: ”Although the Five Element Crimson Fruit is gone, the River God still favors us, bringing this person with this treasure to us. We only need to secure this piece of jade, its value is definitely much greater than that of the Five Element Crimson Fruit. When the time comes, we’ll go there, and we’ll have something to show for it!”

The four heaved sighs of relief, and one of the Elders looked at Master Fang and whispered, ”Sect Master, the power of this piece of jade isn’t much less than the River God Jade bestowed by the River God. This is truly a treasure, but the power of this jade is so strong that it won’t be easy for us to take it down!”

”What’s so difficult about that!” the Sect Master said coldly: ”The power of this piece of jade has already been suppressed to this extent, it’s only a matter of time before it is brought down. I’ll leave the River God Jade here; you four put more effort into it, and within three days, you will surely be able to secure this jade!”

The four were overjoyed; the River God Jade was the treasure that protected the River God Sect. However, this item had always been carried by the Sect Master. With the Sect Master leaving the River God Jade behind, their task would be much easier.

The Sect Master took out a piece of black jade from his body and tossed it casually into the air. The jade flew straight to the side of the Kirin Jade, and black light surged out from it, actually contending with the Kylin Jade.

Master Fang, below the Kirin Jade, felt the vibrations and became panicked.

”Release me quickly!” Master Fang shouted angrily: ”I’ll say it again, I work for Master Su of Pingnan Province. If Master Su learns of how you’ve treated me, he will never let you off!”

”Master Su of Pingnan Province?” The Sect Master sneered, ”Is that the jumping clown from the Dragon Head Meeting in May? Hmph, indeed, when the forest lacks tigers, monkeys fancy themselves kings. An ignorant junior, being hyped as the best in two provinces, is utterly laughable.”

”This so-called Master Su might deceive others, but here, in front of our Sect Master, he is nothing but a joke!” An Elder immediately added, ”He is lucky not to have come to our River God Sect; should he really come here, his title of the best in the two provinces would have to be changed. Then, without the need for the Sect Master to take action, any one of us four could beat him to his knees begging for mercy!”

”Hahaha, the Third Elder speaks the truth,” another Elder laughed heartily. ”Our River God Sect stays aloof from the world and doesn’t partake in those meaningless rankings. However, that doesn’t mean the members of our River God Sect are weak. Those so-called best in two provinces are just rankings made by common folks who have never seen the world. If our Sect Master were to take action, what notable figures would there be in all of Pingnan and Pingbei?”

”Even Ye Jiansheng of Pingnan Province, I see him as nothing more than one seeking fame under false pretenses. What Earth Immortal, it’s all just hype by outsiders. If he met our Sect Master, he too would kneel and beg for mercy!”

”Exactly, as for this so-called Master Su, hehe, dare to still claim to be a master in front of our River God Sect? Ridiculous, pitiful, lamentable indeed!”

The flattery from the four continued one after another, leaving the Sect Master’s face brimming with pride. He glanced at Master Fang disdainfully and sneered, ”It just so happens that I have some worldly affairs to take care of. Once I have some free time, I will personally visit Pingnan Province and meet this so-called Master Su. Don’t worry, he will soon be joining you on the road to the Yellow Springs!”

Master Fang’s face flushed with anger as he shouted, ”Ignorant fools, when Master Su arrives, I’ll see how you beg for mercy!”

”Hahaha, I do hope he comes so you can watch him kneel and beg for mercy!” The Sect Master scoffed and gestured with his hand, ”Carry on, I’ll go upfront to check out the auction; I wonder what good items there will be this time!”

The grand hall of the River God Sect was still filled with an extremely tense atmosphere.

Lin Feng’s remark made the Elders frown. Although the River God Sect could control the major families of the two cities of Yangchuan Zifeng, it didn’t mean they could afford to antagonize a great family like the Lin Family.

In fact, with the power accumulated by the River God Sect, they indeed did not fear the Lin Family. But the problem was, should the matter escalate, the outcome would always be harmful to both sides.

Besides, the Lin Family was a member of the Ten Great Families, with the backing of those families. Should things really blow up, it was the River God Sect that would likely suffer.

The Elder had a high status within the River God Sect, but he truly was not in a position to make a decision on this matter.

As the Elder hesitated, suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him: ”Our River God Sect has its own rules when it comes to doing things. If the Lin Family does not agree, they are free to leave the River God Sect, and we will certainly not stop them!”

Overjoyed, the Elder quickly bowed and turned around, ”Greetings, Sect Master!”

Su Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had been waiting for so long without taking action. Instead, he had been stirring up strife among these people to buy time, waiting for the Sect Master to show up.

And now, the Sect Master had finally appeared, and Su Yang could finally go all out!

Under everyone’s gaze, the Sect Master, dressed in a black robe and looking vile, emerged from the back door.

Feng Wenchuan, Zhao Wunian, and the others all stood up, bending over to bow, ”Greetings, Sect Master!”

At that, most of the people in the hall stood up and bowed, ”Greetings, Sect Master!”
