108 The Fateless Monster (1/2)

A Day Before the Destruction of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect.

When one's gaze is set upon the Evil Dragon Sect, they would see endless rolling hills and majestic mountains with peaks of all different sizes and shapes.

The entire Evil Dragon Sect was just a huge landscape with no walls or boundaries. The mountain ranges of the Evil Dragon Sect had beautiful and elegant scenery, with plentiful true qi energy. On the ground, the river was surrounding it like a jade belt.

Nonetheless, from all those mountain peaks that consisted of the Evil Dragon Sect, one of them stood out the most.

This mountain was situated at the very center of the Evil Dragon and it was the largest and the highest mountain peak throughout the whole Sect.

This mountain peak was so high that it seemed if it was planted by the Heavens as it towered above the cloud. This mountain peak was known as the Evil Dragon Saint Peak.

It was where the Evil Dragon Saint, one of the two Human Saints, was staying. This mountain peak was famed for being vast and beautiful.

According to the rumors, all the spirit veins within Evil Dragon Sect converged there as rich true qi energy permeated the air.

Unlike the other mountain peaks within the Evil Dragon, there wasn't any cave mansions or pavilions on the Evil Dragon Saint Peak. The entire mountain peak completely empty, seemingly without blemishes or impurities

There wasn't any sign that proved or indicated that someone was living on this mountain peak. However, somewhere on the Evil Dragon Saint Peak was a cistern.

This cistern was so deep, that according to the legends, the waters within went down as far as the mountain was tall.

Sitting next to the cistern was two individuals. One of them was an old man with his hair as white as snow while the other was a middle-aged man with grey hair.

While the middle-aged man looked very strong like a healthy mortal, the old man was gaunt. From the look of the two of them, one could tell that the middle-aged man was wild and aggressive while the old man was very calm and patient.

At this moment, both of them had a fishing pole on their hands which descended down into the cistern, and at the moment, they were motionless.

It was unknown how long the two of them have been sitting there, but unlike the old man, the middle-aged man had an annoyed and impatient look on his face.

Soon, an hour had gone by and both of them still sat in the same position without moving an inch and the fishing poles on their hands didn't budge either.

\”Ahh! Brother Evil Dragon, I gave up. It's been two days since we've been fishing in that cistern and yet we haven't caught anything. Are you sure there are fish in it.\” Asked the middle-aged man with an impatient look on his face as he broke the silence.

\”There is plenty of fish in the cistern, little brother Yan.\” The old man's expression didn't change; he simply answered the middle-aged man with a calm voice while focusing on the cistern as well as the fishing pole in his hand.

\”But why haven't we caught anything yet.\” Asked the middle-aged man with a doubtful look on his face. He clearly didn't believe the old man.

The old man looked at him and coolly said. \”Patience little brother Yan, patience! I am pretty sure you know about this saying; patience is bitter but its fruits are sweet.\”

\”Anyway, enough about the fish, little brother Yan. I am well aware of the reason why you are here and you don't have to worry, I don't plan on blocking your path. As such, you don't have to waste your time here and pretend to catch up with this old man in the name of friendship.\” The old man calmly added.

Upon hearing the words of the old man, the middle-aged man was suddenly shocked and didn't know what to say. He was also confused, he had come here ready to battle because he knew this old man would never let him attack the Heavenly Demon Sect. Yet, he gave up just like that.

Something's fishy!

Just like the Yan Empire was considered as the head of righteous influences within the Heaven Desolate Region, the Evil Dragon Sect was considered as the head of the evil sects as well.

While the Yan Empire could openly attack any of the righteous Sects if they had a good reason, the same couldn't be said for the evil sects, and that was because of this old man. Attacking an evil sect, especially an influence like the Yan empire, was akin to declare war on all the evil sects in the Heaven Desolate Region.

Furthermore, if the Evil Dragon Saint wasn't going to stand on his way, the other evil sects won't budge either, which meant that the Heavenly Demon Sect was on his own.
