Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

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.

Even though the middle-aged man was shocked by the old man's words, he quickly regained his bearing and composure.

" Hahaha! Brother Evil Dragon is indeed direct. Well, if that's the case, this one bid is goodbye. Also, I hope brother Evil Dragon will keep his words." Said the old man while laughing. Though the Yan Empire's Martial Saint didn't know what the Evil Dragon Saint was plotting, he didn't want to miss this opportunity. Not to mention everything was already in motions.

"Since when this old man ever gets back on his word." Answered the old man with a serious look on his face.

"Then I bid you farewell brother Evil Dragon." Said the middle-aged man before he disappeared after seeing the serious look on the old man's face.

As soon as the Yan Empire's Martia Saint left, the air around the Evil Dragon Saint Peak suddenly changed.

At the same time, a faint true Qi energy slowly began gathering like a small tornado until It finally transformed into a human-shaped mirage that appeared next to the old man.

It was impossible to see his feature or face as it was made of smoke and cloud. It flickered and faded like a reflection on top of the water. He was extremely like an illusion. There was not the slightest fluctuation of life force or the faintest hint of energy coming from him.

It was as if a slight wind could completely blow apart this smoke that had been gathered together using true qi, making him disappear from Heaven and Earth.

However, the moment that human figure made of smoke and cloud appeared next to the old man, his expression suddenly changed as he dropped the fishing pole in the cistern and kneeled in front of the human shape figure as he respectfully said; " Disciple Xiao Feng pays respect to the master."

If the Yan Empire's Martial Saint was still there at the moment, he would have been shocked. No one knew that the Evil Dragon Saint had a master.

A Martial Saint was already considered as a godlike existence. So who could be strong enough to become the master of a godly existence like a Martial Saint realm warrior?

"Xiao Feng, did you do everything as I told you ." Asked the human-shaped figure with an ancient and archaic voice.

" Yes, Master," answered Xiao Feng in a respectful tone.

"Good!" The ancient voice sounded.

"If you have something to ask just ask. That's the least I could do after giving you the mission of guarding this place for a thousand years." Asked the human-shaped figure after seeing the confused look on Xiao Feng's face.

"Master, I thought you assigned me to prevent any influence from unifying the Heaven Desolate region as well as looking for the last key of the Great Luo tomb that was lost in this region two thousand years ago. So why did you allow me to give the Yan Empire's Martial Saint the green light." Asked Xiao Feng with a puzzled expression on his face. He still couldn't understand why his master asked him not to interfere in the war between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yan Empire.

"Ohh! That. I guess there are many things I haven't told you yet."

"Do you remember the phenomenon that happened ten years ago." Asked the human-shaped figure.

"Of course, who wouldn't remember such a horrifying phenomenon." Answered Xiao Feng with a frightened expression on his face. Just thinking about that day made his hair stood straight.

"Well, after that event, every influence within the Heaven Suppression Region and the Divine Demon Beast Region were trying to find out what caused this phenomenon. However, it was with no avail."

"After many years of attempting to find the reason behind that phenomenon, The Divination Demigod, one of the ten Half-Gods of the Heaven Suppression Region, had finally found a clue about that phenomenon a year ago. However, before he could find more clues, he suddenly went crazy."

"However, before he went crazy, it left a message that said; A fateless monster was born in the Heaven Desolate Region. He has no past nor future. He's alive but he doesn't exist"

"Though his message didn't make sense, one thing was clear, that person was super dangerous. Since then, all the influences within the Heaven Suppression Region were closely monitoring the Heaven Desolate Region. During that period of time, one name stuck out the most and that was Ling Chen."

"Many of us believe that there's a 90% chance that Ling Chen was the one that the Divination Demigod was talking about. Nonetheless, we didn't want to quickly jump into conclusion until we were a hundred percent sure."

"The reason I didn't want you to stop that little brat Yan from attacking the Heavenly Demon Sect was that we want to use him. We want to use him as a sacrificial pawn to see whether Ling Chen is truly that Fateless Monster that the Divination Demigod was warning us about."
