AST 1463 - Victory, Five Tigers Immortal Sect, The Fearsomeness of the Haohan Continen (1/2)

t

The combat was still ongoing. Now, however, there was no longer any pressure. Qing Shui had no idea who those old monsters who had opposed them were or where they had come from. However, their strength couldn’t be doubted.

“Old man, in the past, other than those from the Soaring Dragon Organization, was it these people who attacked the Demon Lord Palace?” Qing Shui asked while he fought.

“Do you think I will tell you? Don’t even dream about knowing the truth. Although we fumbled this attempt, don’t dream that you will have an easy time in the future.” The old ancestor from the Soaring Dragon Organization hatefully spoke.

“You are already about to die, so why are you still afraid to tell us? Could it be you also feel that they won’t be strong enough to be our opponents? You don’t want them to take revenge for you?” Qing Shui slowly forced his way forward. The addition of him and the Dragon Slaying Beast to the battle had already allowed their allies to slowly gain control.

“Haha, that’s funny. Do you really think that you guys are already invincible in the Soaring Dragon Continent? The power we displayed is not even 1% of our full strength. In fact, how many major powers have you seen before here in the Haohan Continent? In reality, those major powers can’t even be bothered with you guys.” The old ancestor mocked with disdain.

He was extremely reluctant to accept this ending. This had actually been such a huge mistake. He had imagined the possibilities of him dying while plundering, but he didn’t expect he wouldn’t even have the chance to plunder.

Qing Shui actually had some inkling on what’s going on when he heard the words of the Soaring Dragon Organization old ancestor. Now that he heard this, he couldn’t help but admit how narrow his suspicions were back then.

This world was simply too vast. Those things on the surface were not even 1%. For one person, even if he explored endlessly, his encounters would surely be limited. There were many powers hidden in the shadows.

“Since you are not afraid, why are you still not telling us?” Qing Shui and his allies continued their attacks unceasingly. Qing Shui dished out several methods, directly causing the old ancestor of the Soaring Dragon Organization to be flustered as he attempted his best to defend.

“Old man, don’t kill him. We need to know their background.” Qing Shui stared at Old Man Lu, who was steadily inching towards victory against his opponent as he spoke.

One versus one, although it needed some time, it’s clear that Old Man Lu’s strength was at an advantage. Qing Shui used the Nine Palace Laws to obstruct his opponent, as well as the Seal of Xuantian. He was so fast that the old man couldn’t even match his speed.

“Tell us, who exactly are you guys? I’m puzzled as to why you all are so much stronger than the Soaring Dragon Organization, yet still choose to use it as a front.” Old Man Lu asked.

Although quite a few experts from the three great dynasties had died, everything was worth it for the sake of victory. This time, the Soaring Dragon Organization would finally disappear, and the strength of the dynasties would rise. It would be new golden age for the Great Yan Dynasty.

“Accident. It was truly an accident. However, although it’s an accident, I don’t even have time for regrets. Don’t question me any further; you guys won’t get the information you want.” The old man spoke in a tone of resolution.

“You don’t wish to talk? Fine, I can investigate myself. However, if my investigations bear any results, I will ensure none of the people in your organization will remain alive.” Old Man Lu coldly snorted. Since this old man didn’t dare to say anything, it must mean that the power backing them was so strong that it was inconceivable. They probably wouldn’t be able to resist those people’s strength.

“Why must you force us? I can only tell you that after the five of us die, there are no longer any threats to you all.” The old man sighed.

“Who is the power behind the Soaring Dragon Organization? Back then, who were the ones who allied with the Soaring Dragon Organization and mounted an attack on the Demon Lord Palace?” Old Man Lu spoke as he fought, intensifying the injuries of his opponent.

“It’s useless even if I tell you. Back then...everything happened because of a bad encounter.”

“Bad encounter? What do you mean? What relationship does the Five Tigers Immortal Sect has with you?” The old ancestor of the Soaring Dragon Organization was already subdued as Qing Shui rushed over.

“You even know about this?” The old man exclaimed with astonishment, but he soon understood when he saw the dispirited and listless old ancestor of the Soaring Dragon Organization.

“Forget it…” The old man sighed.

“We are people from the Five Tigers Immortal Sect, but merely a branch of it sent to the Soaring Dragon Continent. Back then, the young master of the Five Tigers Immortal Sect chanced upon the Demon Lord, causing the seeds of love to bloom in his heart. He wanted her for her beauty, so he told us what to do.. which led to…” The old man was a little embarrassed after he spoke. The Five Tigers Immortal Sect was supposed to be a righteous sect in the Haohan Continent, yet their young master was a lawless and horny fellow. He squandered his time on beauties and acted like a beast, only wanting them for their bodies.

“Oh, so this is the reason why there were so many casualties in the Demon Lord Palace.” Qing Shui spoke. After that, he turned to Tantai Lingyan. She was as cold as ever, but her entire body was shuddering. Nobody knew whether it was from anger or because she learned of the reason why this had all happened and that she finally had an identity for that mysterious power.

That old man mumbled. “We knew that we would die for sure today, but I urge you all to stop your revenge. Just let our deaths set your hearts at ease.”

“The Five Tigers Immortal Sect won’t avenge you?” Qing Shui asked curiously.

“Although we are from the Five Tigers Immortal Sect, we actually left it a very long time ago. That incident had already happened for so long... The Five Tigers Immortal Sect is a major power in the Haohan Continent. For powerful sects and clans in the Haohan Continent, they view our Soaring Dragon Continent the same way we view the Western Oxhe Continent.”

Qing Shui didn’t say anything. He knew the old man would continue speaking.
