Unfathomable Senior

Chapter 586

“Are the twin guardians doing this on purpose? How can this man be this powerful?”

“Leader Zhong, those are some serious allegations, do you have anything to back those claims up? Do the guardians look like they are losing on purpose? Are we looking at the same fight?”

“What are you prattling about Leader Shen?”

“Do you have eyes like the rest of us? Do you think any of the Leaders would do better than the guardians, even when we all attacked him together?”

“Preposterous, he can’t be that strong...”

“Are you sure, perhaps you should change your tune, what if the Golden Dragon seeks you out for an apology, you have been quite rude?

Zhong’s forehead began to sweat, something a nascent soul master should be above. Sun Shen, whom he was talking to, was smiling. Zhong wanted to deny the claim of Zhang Dong’s superiority but it was obvious that his skills were far above those of the twin guardians.

Even he who was a smidge above the other Leaders couldn’t see the man’s moves, it wouldn’t be strange if he couldn’t take more than a few moves before being defeated. Only with a combined effort of at least three leaders could he see them wining against such an opponent.

“Patriarch as you can see, this is the true power that we will be facing and what the Azure Emperor was holding back from us.”

“This is truly concerning...”

Tao Guan’s eyebrows wiggled as he tried to hide his displeasure. His true reason of allowing this fight to happen was out of curiosity. He wanted to measure the power of the man called the Golden Dragon who was rumored to be on equal footing to the Azure Emperor. The latter was considered to be the true endpoint and foe that was holding his sect back from taking over the whole empire.

Now, on the other hand, he wasn’t sure if that had even been something that they would have been capable of. This man was just playing around with their strongest tag team experts. Tao Guan knew the two well and in the past he even sparred with the two. They were his equals and if they wanted they could defeat him by sacrificing one in the process. When looking at this fight, he couldn’t see the two winnings even if they attempted that secret technique.

Their opponent was far too nimble and if rumors were true, he could also recover from critical wounds in a matter of seconds. To defeat someone like this they would probably need to entrap him in a powerful formation and reduce him to ashes. Perhaps if they overloaded the pseudo-dimension that they were fighting in and used all the power of the ten grand elders together it would be possible. However, if he ever managed to escape, their sect would be ruined.

“Is the Azure Emperor as strong as his younger brother or could he actually be the more powerful one of the two?”

“Just because of some old prophecy, you would risk our sect’s safety?”

“Old Prophecy? My people have been passing down the legend of the immortal through generations since a time when the empire didn’t even exist! It’s not just an old prophecy you old fool, it’s the truth of this world, the immortal has always appeared and we have always lent him our strength!”

“Y-you...”

Zhong was not happy to hear that one of the neutral factions had decided to switch sides. With the old woman supporting the Moon Lily Faction he needed at least one of the other three neutral ones to come to his side instead. If he wasn’t able to convince them otherwise then what Leader Shen was proposing would be voted in his favor.

“Both of you, calm down, this is not the place to discuss this issue.”

The patriarch raised his voice at the two leaders that were fighting with each other. It was quite a surprise to have the old woman speak this much. Usually, she was uninterested in the voting process. There was not even a record of this faction group ever picking a side and now suddenly they were interested in this white-haired man. The Patriarch needed to agree that there was something about this Long Dong.

His presence was either a blessing or a curse on this sect and it was up to him to decide. The only problem was that this could perhaps be the only time that he could get rid of him. By ordering the guardians to use their life they could probably stall for long enough to overload the pseudo-dimension. Either the man there would die or be trapped for all eternity between dimensions with no way of getting back here.

“I think they are almost finished... the left guardian isn’t moving, is he out cold?”

“Hmmm...”

The Patriarch looked into the transparent dimension. There he saw one of his best warriors down on the ground. It took a lot to knock a nascent soul master, something that wouldn’t usually be possible. It meant that Zhang Dong’s Qi had overwhelmed them to a point of no return. The other guardian didn’t look much better, his face which was kept behind a robe was exposed. His face looked like it had been beaten on for a few days, and his lips and eyes were swollen. The man could not even hide the shaking knees that were barely keeping him upright.

After letting out a sigh Tao Guan decided to leave it up to a vote. The power of this man was not something he could contend with and he might have lost his chance of doing anything by this point. His most trusted two experts would probably not be able to muster much energy to keep him busy long enough. It was better to not poke the beehive if he didn’t have to, working under this man wouldn’t be a shame and it really didn’t matter if Long Dong or Long Qing ruled over them. Perhaps the other leaders still had rebellion on their minds but he had somewhat given up on that notion.

“This is enough, honorable Golden Dragon, we have seen your capabilities and we accept you as a proper honorary guest of our sect.”

“Patriarch?”

The man made the announcement which would make Zhang Dong one of their closest allies. It was not a hollow title, it would force their own sect members to be lenient with the United Element Sect and punish them if problems arose.

“Is that so, well then...”

Zhang Dong started speaking but in a flash, his voice found itself in the room that the ten great leaders were occupying.

“How about we talk about this little war you are having trouble with...”

The Patriarch’s eyes bulged out in fright as he realized that he made the right decision and if he actually attempted something sketch he would have died in this very instance.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
