Chapter 523 - 520. Find Chen Mountain (First Update)

"Is it possible that the Hundred Sects Alliance does not recognize my status as an Elder of the Dragon God Sect?"

As these words fell, the vast Main Hall suddenly became terrifyingly silent.

It was like the abyssal depths of a chasm.

Duan Tian’s brow twitched, his lips tightly pursed, as a surge of anger flared relentlessly within him.

He had brought the will of the Hundred Sects Alliance, yet Elder Mei dismissed him casually, even using such words to pressure him.

This matter is minor if it’s spoken lightly, a mere indignity to him.

It takes Duan Tian as a nonentity.

On a larger scale, it is contempt for the entire Hundred Sects Alliance.

Regardless of scale, it’s something he couldn’t tolerate.

"Elder Mei, what do you mean by this?"

Duan Tian retorted coldly.

However, Elder Mei did not immediately respond to him; instead, she paused for a moment, plunging the hall into silence once more.

"So, Chief Duan Tian truly does not recognize my status? Then please, suit yourself. The Sect Leader and the others are in secluded cultivation for half a year, return after half a year." After saying that, Elder Mei slowly stood up, her hand moving to pound her back, seemingly having back pain after sitting for long.

The implication was quite clear—since you do not recognize me, I have no need to force myself to entertain you.

Step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

Until Elder Mei descended to the fifth step, Duan Tian spoke, "Elder Mei, the higher-ups have mandated that the Dragon God Sect must participate in this joint army to aid the Hundred Sects Alliance in eliminating the Immortal Sect of East Lake and its henchmen completely."

Duan Tian neither apologized nor dared to get angry.

Apologizing would mean his face was utterly lost if this spread out.

Getting angry?

Then this matter would surely collapse!

Thus he directly stated the higher-ups’ intention, didn’t Elder Mei want to hear it?

Let her listen!

"Fine!"

Elder Mei nodded directly.

Duan Tian was startled, his lips trembled slightly, seemingly not expecting this response, "Elder Mei, is it true?"

"Of course!"

But just as Duan Tian’s lips were about to curve into a smile, Elder Mei spoke again, "If you want the Dragon God Sect to wield the sword, it’s possible, but this time’s plunder must be fifty percent ours, and we must have the right of first choice. If the Hundred Sects Alliance is unwilling, then I’m afraid the cultivation of Mountain Suppression Realm at the Dragon God Sect is quite busy."

"Fifty percent! Right of first choice?"

Duan Tian snorted coldly to himself, thinking: really asking for the moon.

"Chief Duan Tian, how do you feel about it?"

"Let me..."

Duan Tian hesitated.

After a few breaths of silence, he added, "Allow me to go back and discuss. This matter is for the Grand Chief to decide."

"Alright, then I’ll trouble Chief Duan Tian. I haven’t been well lately, so I won’t partake in further conversation." Elder Mei waved her hand once more, instructing the Black Armor guards outside the door, "You two, go to the storage and bring two bottles of millennium-aged top-notch wine for Chief Duan to take away."

After speaking, Elder Mei walked away.

Duan Tian squeezed out a smile, said farewell, and watched Elder Mei walk further and farther away, his expression grew colder.

Today’s events, he remembered them!

At the same time, Elder Mei, who felt refreshed, headed to Tuo Hai’s cultivation place. Putting up an act in front of the chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance was truly exhilarating. If the Sect Leader knew Duan Tian’s reaction, he would probably be amused for a while.

The Hundred Sects Alliance, these years have truly taken themselves too seriously!

Even the chief of Xuanse Lake is only in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression, yet stands above the Dragon God Sect, pointing fingers daily!

"Hmm?"

As she approached the Sect Leader’s Cultivation Room, a middle-aged man caught her attention, wearing a Steward’s attire, yet in panic, running toward the Sect Leader’s Cultivation Room, shouting something along the way.

"Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Elder Mei’s refreshed face immediately froze.

Bang!

The door of the Cultivation Room burst open.

Tuo Hai came out with a stern face and asked coldly, "Steward Yang, do you know the consequences of disturbing my cultivation?"

"Sect Leader, I’m really forced to do this! The Dragon Pond Secret Realm... it... it... it... has been destroyed!"

"What!"

Tuo Hai strides forward, grabbing the kneeling person in front of him with one hand, his cold eyes like daggers fixed on the other’s eyes.

Despite fear, the person stammered the situation, "I went to patrol the Dragon Pond Secret Realm today when someone stopped me halfway, saying you had sealed the Dragon Pond Secret Realm today. Feeling uneasy, I hurried to check... but... the Dragon Tail Bone, suddenly missing a section, and... and the secret realm entrance was gone!"

Bang!

Tuo Hai, furious, threw the person away, slamming him against the door, then hurriedly headed toward the Dragon Pond Secret Realm.

This scene was entirely witnessed by Elder Mei, who helped the person up and quickly followed.

The Dragon Pond Secret Realm, how could it be destroyed?

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain at the secret realm entrance, the two disciples of the Dragon God Sect guarding the mountain path were kneeling there, shaking. Seeing Tuo Hai approaching, they were so frightened they became limp and fell to the ground.

The surrounding spectators kneeling in fright.

"Impossible!" Tuo Hai glanced around, unwillingly murmuring.

The sixth volume of the "Dragon Concealment Technique" was just found.

The light of hope touching the Earth Unrestricted gate had shone down.

...

Step!

Step!

Step!

Tuo Hai leapt to the mountaintop in a few steps, and the gigantic pit in the rock wall immediately came into view.

Traces of burning flames remained above.

No matter the rock wall, the Dragon Tail Bone that should’ve been there was long gone, the Dragon Pond Secret Realm entrance disappeared as well.

"No! No! No!"

Tuo Hai stepped toward the Dragon Tail Bone, dumbfounded.

The perception of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression immediately expanded!

Covering thousands of meters around!

However, the perception couldn’t capture any existence of the sacred realm.

Nor detect any presence of powerful beings nearby.

"This—"

Many had already gathered at the mountaintop, with Elder Mei being the first to ascend. Seeing this scene plunged her into profound shock, at a loss for words. The people behind exchanged bewildered glances.

They didn’t know what happened.

At this moment, Tuo Hai suddenly turned around, angrily shouted, "Who said it! Who said the Dragon Pond Secret Realm is closed today!"

"Sect Leader, it was them!"

Two Dragon God Sect disciples were dragged and thrown in front of Tuo Hai.

"Mercy, Sect Leader!"

"Mercy, Sect Leader!"

Despite their continuous kowtomping and pleas for mercy, Tuo Hai’s anger did not diminish but increased.

He wished he could slap the two in front of him to death!

"Who told you the Dragon Pond Secret Realm was closed?"

Hearing Tuo Hai’s inquiry, the two responded quickly.

"Steward Chen Mountain!"

"It’s Steward Chen Mountain!"

Upon hearing Chen Mountain’s name, Elder Mei’s expression instantly froze, slowly uttering, "How could it be?"

When Tuo Hai heard Chen Mountain’s name, the murderous intent and anger surged like a fountain.

"Find!"

"Find Chen Mountain!"
