Chapter 583

There he was, standing with his chest raised. A scowl appeared on Zhang Dong’s face as he continued to talk with the Heavenly Crane Sect. This was all according to his hastily produced plan. What he needed to do was convince these people that it was in their best interest to make a move now and not wait a year or two for their lands to be overrun by the Emerald Phoenix Empire’s forces. To do such a thing fists were better than words and he already had a target to present them on.

“You do not realize the power of that empire or of their Emperor, how about I prove it to you now?”

“How could you prove something like that? Have you come in contact with that person yourself, Golden Dragon?”

“No, but I have faced someone on that level, you may know him as the Demi-human Emperor.”

“Ah yes, the illusive master that you have bested in single combat... or so the rumors say.”

The leader from the Sun Lily faction chimed in on the conversation that he was having with the Patriarch. It was clear that these ten groups didn’t hold their leader in very high regard. Usually, no one would dare speak out unless they were allowed to. Even in his sect where he allowed conversation between everyone no one besides his close family and friends would interrupt him.

“I see that the leader of the Sun Lily doesn’t believe my claim. Would you like me to demonstrate my skills to make this move along?”

“You wish to show your techniques?”

The people at the assembly started to whisper between each other. It was a rare occurrence for a known expert to show off their skills, even less when they were potentially one of the top ten experts in the whole empire. To this sect, it would be a chance to see what their competition was capable of. There wasn’t really a reason to refuse as they could only gain from this exchange, even if Zhang Dong’s opponent lost no one would have to know.

Their sect’s prestige would be kept and everything that transpired in this innermost sect zone would never leave it. Then on the other hand if he was bested by one of their elders it would allow them to gain fame. The only problem in that situation would be the Azure Emperor that might dislike the fact that his brother’s name was getting dirtied.

“Yes, I think it would move things along, the Emerald Phoenix Emperor should be my equal, I don’t think you have anything to lose.”

“You dare insult our sect, you might be the Emperor’s brother but you are not the Azure Emperor himself! Patriarch, I propose we excuse this young man and punish Leader Shen for bringing him here without discussing it with the other faction leaders.”

Leader Zhong wasn’t having any of it, he could tell that the deal looked too good to be true. If the guardians lost then the other side would have gained some footing. It would perhaps not prove that the Emerald Phoenix Empire was dangerous but would at least give the opposition a strong backer. The twin guardians were considered to be the strongest experts of their sect if they worked together.

Their cooperative techniques could not be beaten by a single combatant from either side. If the Golden Dragon came out on top then the Sun Lily faction would potentially lose a lot of influence. It would be only natural for everyone to flock to the Moon Lily faction that looked to be backed by him instead.

“So, you would deny this test? Are you so afraid of losing?”

Before Zhong could continue a deep voice filled the entire assembly. It was Zhang Dong that was chuckling and acting like a villain. He started smiling as if he owned the entire place, clearly playing the role of a villain.

“I thought that the Heavenly Crane Sect was one of the three great sects but you are even afraid to let me face two of your masters, do you wish me to promise to only use my left hand? If I don’t use any of my sword skills would that be better?”

“You dare make light of our skills?”

A strange voice that sounded like two people talking at the exact same time echoed through the entire place. This was followed by an astonishing amount of spiritual energy. This time around it was the twin guardians that burst out in anger. This was probably the first time they were disrespected this much. Every of the faction leaders feared their might but Zhang Dong was not showing them the respect they thought they were owed.

“Hoh? I see that you two are willing. How about it, Patriarch Tao Guan? This is your decision to make, allow me to fight your two experts to prove my point. Otherwise, you won’t see reason before it’s too late.”

Finally, all eyes went toward the leader of this Heavenly Crane Sect. The others could give him advice but when it came to the two guardians the Patriarch was the only one that could make them move. His eyes that were closed finally opened and it seemed that he had made a decision. His mouth opened and finally, he spoke out the words that Zhang Dong wanted to hear.

“I will allow this.”

Well, I’ll be taking a break for Christmass, next chapter will be at the end of the month.
