"Isn’t it a bit early?"
"Early? I’ve waited over twenty years! It’s not early at all!"
A group of people gathered in a lavishly decorated house, yet it was like a marketplace as they quarreled amongst themselves. But if a Martial Artist were present, they’d be shocked to find that every person here was an Earth-level Expert.
As an Earth-level Expert, who among them isn’t a significant figure?
But here, Earth-level Experts seed worthless, casually gathered in threes and fives, so quarreling, so mocking each other, and so looking as if they were about to start a fight.
Sporadically counting, there were nearly twenty people!
What does it an to have twenty Earth-level Experts?
In the current Martial Artist World, if a force had more than twenty Earth-level Experts, it would be one of the Overlord-level forces!
Moreover, there’s a good example right now.
The Hongng Pavilion!
Others might not know, but these veteran powerhouses from the last era know very well what kind of entity the Hongng Pavilion is.
Hongng Pavilion was originally just a gathering place for a group of strong fighters, of course, that was in the early days. Later, they spontaneously decided to create this organization. The intention had no other aning, one was to cultivate in peace. The other was to protect this land where they resided.
To put it bluntly, those elders in the Hongng Pavilion are either pure cultivation fanatics or genuinely foolish people who consider it their duty to protect the country.
Yes, to others, those guys are just fools.
Given the historical changes, how many transformations has this land undergone, witnessed by generations of Martial Artists? To them, even now, it’s just considered a dynasty, which might change any mont, and they don’t understand what these people are guarding.
Of course, these words aren’t sothing anyone would say in front of mbers of the Hongng Pavilion. Even if given the guts, they probably wouldn’t dare say anything to the Hongng Pavilion.
"I can’t stand it anymore; tomorrow I’m going to flatten that Palace of the Nether King first. That creature wiped out my entire Sect back then, and I can’t let that grudge go unavenged!" a dark-faced man said loudly.
"Revenge? Sounds nice," a man beside him said mockingly, "That’s about all you can do with petty matters. If that man were still here, would you dare act so recklessly?"
"Duanmu Wuliang, what the hell did you just say?" The dark-faced man stood up abruptly, speaking fiercely.
"Try calling Wuliang one more ti?" Duanmu Wuliang stood up as well, facing the dark-faced man without fear.
"Enough!"
A voice interrupted their quarrel, and as it fell, everyone around fell silent.
Yun Canglong’s face still looked pale: "Now is the ti for us to work together. Look at yourselves, do you seem ready to fight side by side?"
"Sorry, Elder Yun." Duanmu Wuliang, known for his sharp tongue, surprisingly apologized first.
Many people around showed peculiar expressions when looking at Duanmu Wuliang. They all knew his character; when had this bastard ever admitted he was wrong voluntarily?
Yet Duanmu Wuliang, without a care for the surrounding gazes, continued to look calmly at Yun Canglong.
Others might not know, but those who went to Mong Kok Forest together understand why Duanmu Wuliang acts this way.
Originally, there were eight who went to Mong Kok Forest, but now, only four remain here.
Yun Canglong, Duanmu Wuliang, Jing Ji, and Yu Lian.
The remaining ones stayed there permanently.
Jing Ji, sipping a glass of wine, leaned against the sofa, giving Duanmu Wuliang a sideways mocking smile.
Yu Lian sat alone in the corner with his head down, silent.
"Let’s all stop quarreling; let’s discuss the real matters first," Yun Canglong knocked on the table and said solemnly.
"Elder Yun, what else is there to discuss? With just us, even a large Sect can’t stand up to us, we should just go and kill them all!" the dark-faced man exclaid quickly.
"Go and kill them all?" Duanmu Wuliang instinctively grinned, sneering, "And then die?"
"Who are you saying will die?" Although the dark face was wary of Yun Canglong’s power, he showed no fear towards Duanmu Wuliang.
In the room, Yun Canglong, as the strongest presence, held the most authority, and everyone had to show so respect. Showing respect didn’t an they had to follow him blindly.
The dignity of an Earth-level Expert was not to be offended.
"Cough cough cough..." Yun Canglong suddenly began coughing violently, while Duanmu Wuliang ignored the dark man’s provocation, striding up to Yun Canglong’s side.
"Elder Yun, are you okay?"
Seeing Duanmu Wuliang’s reaction, everyone’s gaze turned even more peculiar.
"I’m fine, it’s just so old wounds that haven’t fully healed," Yun Canglong waved his hand and said.
At this ti, Duanmu Wuliang finally addressed everyone, "Stop suspecting anything. You all know who I, Duanmu Wuliang, am. Though I may not get along with people well, at least I’m soone who distinguishes between right and wrong."
Hearing ’distinguishes between right and wrong’, the group seed to grasp sothing, and when they looked at Yun Canglong, their eyes involuntarily showed a contemplative look.
"Let speak," Jing Ji, who had been watching with a grin, put down her glass. Sitting beside Yun Canglong, she looked at the crowd and spoke calmly.
"Over a month ago, Elder Yun led us, a total of eight, to raid that rumored hidden Enchanted World of the Li Family," Jing Ji said lightly, her voice carrying an indescribable tone.
"Don’t look at us like that, we accomplished nothing," Jing Ji said with a self-mocking smile, "As you can see, eight of us went, only four returned, , Elder Yun, this unscrupulous guy, and that useless fellow hiding in the corner."
The group instinctively turned their heads to gaze at Yu Lian, who was sitting silently in the corner, and they suddenly realized.
"But hasn’t that monster from the Li Family left? How can there still be such imnse power? Elder Yun is a Scorching-level Expert!" soone couldn’t help asking.
"The reason a few of us could return was because Elder Yun risked half his life for it," Jing Ji smiled bitterly.
"That big monster from the Li Family is indeed gone, but have you forgotten, in the Li Family, there is another old monster present."
"His na is Bai Haoyue."
