Outside the treasure land,

"Sect leader Gamos, what are you doing by stopping my outer sect leader with your barrier?"

​​

An old man in light blue robes stood outside the barrier cast by the sect leader Gamos and said to him with a nonchalant look on his face.

"What am I doing? Of course, waiting for you,"

The sect leader Gamos is not a 10-year-old kid to not know what would happen by casting a barrier to stop the two outer sect leaders from leaving.

So, he showed an 'I don't know' and shrugged without any fear on his face.

"Gamos, do you know who you are talking to? Show the bloody respect to my sect leader,"

Mirah became angered when she saw the nonchalant look on the sect leader Gamos' face and shouted at him.

That's right!

The old man was the sect leader of the complete true lake sect; however, from his looks, no one will think, he is a cultivator who reached the penultimate pinnacle cultivation of this world.

He was thin and short with a half-bald head and the remaining half head was filled with long white hair. Wrinkles were all over his face.

"Respect can be earned by many ways but the beginning is not one of them,"

Gamons scoffed as he took a thin sword out of thin air and placed it beside him. After that, he didn't even bother to look at the sect leader of the true lake sect.

'...'

When the weak-looking old man saw the sword, he didn't bother to say anything as he looked into the distance as though he was waiting for someone.

'Swoosh'

It didn't take much time before a middle-aged man who had strong muscles appeared from the direction that the old man was looking at.

As soon as the old man saw the middle-aged man, he revealed a slight smile and lightly tapped on the energy barrier created by the sect leader Gamos.

"Sect leader Ardrid, you are also here,"

The newcomer looked at the old man and revealed a surprised look.

"Sect leader Haemir, the blazing inferno sect's disciples killed the disciples from other three sects. So, how could I come late?"

The old man revealed a sorrowful look on his face as he added more things and defamed the three disciples of the blazing inferno sect.

"Swoosh"

While the old man Ardrid was explaining to the bizzare zephyr sect leader, Haemir, two more silhouettes came flying towards them.

One of the silhouettes belongs to the outer sect leader of the terra nova sect, Zavis and the other one belongs to the general sect leader of the terra nova sect.

"Sect leader Heris, the disciples of the blazing inferno sect are playing dirty. Instead of focusing on collecting the treasures, they used some vile methods to increase their cultivation and killed the disciples from the other three sects,"

Soon, the old man Ardrid repeated the same words to the general sect leader of the terra nova sect. This time, he even has the support of the sect leader Haemir and the outer sect leaders.

"Sect leader, don't….,"

"Zavis, can you keep quiet?"

Before the outer sect leader of the terra nova could say something, the general sect leader asked him to keep quiet and nodded his head at all the bullshit said by Ardrid.

"How are you so sure that the disciples of the blazing inferno sects did that?"

Heris asked in a vengeful tone.

He didn't need any explanation from Zavis to know the truth. He knew the true characters of all three sects and with a glance, he could tell what they were saying was plain bullshit.

"Haha...I always knew that Heris is the clever one among us all,"

Ardird scoffed at Heris as he continued to say, "Why don't we wait and see who will come out of the treasure land?"

"Right!"

Haemir also supported that suggestion.

Actually, the thing is both the true lake sect and the bizarre zephyr sect despises the blazing inferno sect for some reason and the terra nova's general sect leader was once saved by the general sect leader of the blazing inferno sect.

From that moment onwards, they became sworn brothers; however, they always competed in terms of their sect's strength.

Seeing that, the other two sects added the terra nova sect into the blacklist and whenever a treasure land or inheritance land appears in their territories, they will not invite these two sects.

After finding out that there was a treasure land being shared among the blazing inferno sect and the terra nova sect, those two sects planned to kill the disciples from these two sects; however, their sect disciples were killed and immediately changed their plans.

"Even if the blazing inferno sect's disciples are the only ones that come out of the treasure land, it doesn't mean they are the ones that killed other disciples from the other sects. I truly wonder, how can someone become the general sect leaders with this level of intelligence."

Even though what Ardrid and Haemir saying was just non-sense, he can't openly fight them.

So, he could only use his words to mock them.

"You..."

They were angered; however, openly fighting is also not good for them. So, they suppressed their anger and Haemir said, "Why don't we use soul searching or ask them to swear upon their dantian?"

There were many methods to get the truth out of someone. So, Haemir suggested using any one of those methods to find out the truth.

"Okay,"

Heris didn't say anything as he agreed to their words and silently thought in his head, 'As long as he comes here, everything will be solved.'

...

Inside the treasure land,

'Puchi'

In the small cave, Henrick's spear pierced into the injury of the underworld fire dragon.

'Ding,

Detected the blood of the underworld fire dragon's hot blood.

'Ding,

With the help of the blood refining technique and the underworld fire dragon blood, the master can easily fill four energy pillars with pure internal fire energy.

Just as he was using his full strength to pierce the spear into the injury, he got two system notifications which tempted him.

'Should I use that evil technique?'

The blood refining technique, which Henrick didn't want to cultivate is a good technique to increase the cultivation; however, the technique will turn him evil.

Even though he could use the blood of the beasts to increase his cultivation, he would lose control to use the human blood to increase his cultivation.

'I should not use it...I should not use it….'

Henrick muttered to himself as he controlled his urge to use the blood refining technique.

'Even though Spark can use it, it was a beast; however, I am a hum…..'

All of a sudden, Henrick froze amidst his thought as he suddenly came to a realization.

'Ding,

Master killed an extremely evil 'Underworld fire dragon' which was previously an immortal beast; however, its strength was deteriorated after being sealed by the 'Immortal Jaran'.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master for successfully killing your first immortal beast.

'Ding,

Master's dantian and the special storage gourd will be completely filled.

'Ding,

Additional rewards are being calculated. Please wait.
