Chapter 504 - Magic The Gathering (2/2)

The disciples of the Hong Sect were bustling around when they heard a jarring piercing howl. They turned toward the sound and saw a shaft of white light land out from the top of a mountain, threatening to pierce open the sky.

Inside the white light was a vague outline of an old man, with white hair and white beard

“It is…”

The sect master was stunned by the sight and didn’t even notice that he had dropped his pen.

“Ancestral Patriarch has finally come out of his seclusion?”

“Kaboom!”

The white energy suddenly changed course and dived down, trailing a streak of white mist behind. The old man rammed through the gla.s.ses of a building and appeared right in front of the Hong Sect’s sect master. The Sect Master dropped his knees and kowtowed.

“Nice to meet you, Ancestral Patriarch! I am your unworthy heir, Hong Qianfan.”

“You may rise. You have managed the sect well in my absence all these years.” The Hong Sect’s Ancestral Patriarch’s was shrouded by a patch of white mist, revealing only part of the old man’s expression in fits and starts.

“I am truly unworthy. Hong Sect’s prowess and fame had diminished under my management. Brother Lei was many other underbosses who were dead under my watch. Every time I think about it, I feel deeply guilty for my incompetence.”

Hong Qianfan kelt on the ground, tears welled in his eyes.

“This is not your fault. Chen Beixuan even killed Grand Magus G.o.d, you are definitely no match against them. I am impressed that you have been able to hold out against them for so long.” The Ancestral Patriarch said.

“Ancestral Patriarch, may I ask why did you come out of your seclusion?” Hong Qianfan hazarded.

“The array guarding the Earth Level Deity was about to weaken. Brother Lin had invited me to join him to crack open the Immortal Abode.” Ancestral Patriarch linked his hands behind his back and continued.

“And we will do away with Chen Beixuan while we are at it.”

Even as the Ancestral Patriarch of Hong Sect spoke, crackling energy shot out from the Ancestral Patriarch’s eyes.

Hong Qianfan kowtowed in elation.

Singapore was a Southeast Asian city founded by Chinese people in exodus. Despite its small population, it controlled the strategic location of the Malacca Strait and was once lauded as one of the Four Asian Tigers. It was also called the Lion City.

Those who knew the lay of the land in Singapore would know that the center of power in Singapore was not the president’s residence, instead, it was inside an old ancestral shrine in the middle of downtown.

The Dragon Hall!

It was one of the three sects in China along with the Green Gang and the Hong Sect.

The Green Gang was no more and the Hong Sect had run far from China, but the Dragon Hall had planted their roots down in Southeast Asia and played a key role in the founding of Singapore.

It was a usual day and like every other day, the Hall Master was inside the Ancestral Shrine, paying tribute to the ancestors. The Dragon Hall had recently moved its headquarters out of the ancestral shrine to a skysc.r.a.per called Dragon Plaza. However, this Ancestral Shrine still held symbolic meaning in the hearts of all Dragon Hall members.

Trees and bushes dotted the large empty courtyard and except for a handful of servants, most people had moved out of here.

As soon as the Hall Master entered the ancestral shrine, he noticed a wash of azure light in the middle of the courtyard. It was a man standing with his hands linked behind his back, looking directly at the entrance.

“That’s…”

The Dragon Hall Master s.h.i.+vered and then dropped his knees.

“I am the twelfth Hall Master of the Dragon Hall. I welcome you, your honorable Dragon Lord. I wish that you live a long and prosperous life.”

“So there had been eleven Hall Masters before you already?”

After a while, the man in the wash of azure glow heaved a sigh and said.

“Dragon Lord, are you here to bring Chen Beixuan to justice?” The Hall Master asked cautiously.

“I have made a promise to someone, that’s all.” The man said lightly.

“Dragon Hall and the Lin Family were allies for as long as I can remember. Grand Magus G.o.d was killed by Chen Beixuan for a woman. I can’t sit around and watch my old friends fall one after another.”

He spoke with an even tone, but his words had an icy quality to it.

Meanwhile, a clear whistle shot through the sky above the Lin Family of Southeastern China.

The Lin Family Lord and many other Martial arts grandmasters watched in surprise as a gate that had been sealed for decades swung open and a middle-aged man emerged from within.

The man was wearing a plain s.h.i.+rt with a long sword strapped on his back. His appearance was refined and scholarly. However, there was sparking energy inside of his eyes.

The Lin Family Lord and the people around him were shocked after seeing the middle-aged man.

“I swear I will end Chen Beixuan’s life”

The man said in a booming voice as he unsheathed his blade.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was clueless about the implication of the Death of the Grand Magus G.o.d and arrived at Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia with Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa.

He planned to stay here for the night and look for a guide before he heads toward the Island of Borneo. Island of Borneo was huge and it might be difficult to find a Cave Abode without a local guide.
