Chapter 130 - Soaring Phoenix
"Panra, what did you say? Is that true?" In a large room, there were Panra and another man. He was wearing a black robe with a big phoenix painted on his back. His eyes were radiating a momentary killing intent as of this moment. His white hair, though he's just 40's, was a recognizable mark to determine he was the sectmaster of the Soaring Phoenix, one of the leading first-rate sects!
When Panra came back from that carnage, he immediately reported to it with every detail that he had seen, no more and no less. He also reported how powerful that woman was to kill thousands with just a single skill. This made the sectmaster frown and shock.
"Sectmaster, what I said is all true. Besides, that woman did not put our sect in her eyes!" Panra said with a trembling rage.
"Interesting." The sectmaster said, "It's been a while since there was someone who dared to offend us. It was already getting boring by that. I'm glad someone dared to." He revealed a smile which crept out Panra.
"But... sectmaster, that woman is not someone to be trifled with!" With his countless battles and retreats, Panra already knew when to fight and when to retreat. This was his style that's why he was still alive at this moment. He never underestimated his enemies and calculate his possibility of winning, if it's low, then he will just retreat, and if it's high, then good and he'll fight. Although he declared such things as 'we will never share the same sky with you!' or whatnot to Yuna Sierra, it was just because of his uncontrollable anger that clouded his reasoning.
Until now, even with his high analyzation ability, he could not yet determine their chances of winning. And this was very dangerous if they move.
This type of battle style is worth an admiration.
"What are you worried about? Although that woman is powerful as you said, we also have powerful people here who could defeat her. She dared to offend us in front of the crowd if we don't fight back, won't we become the laughingstock of the world? Not to mention, those other first-rate sects at the same level as us were already finding loopholes in order to kill each other. If we show just a bit of weakness, they will attack mercilessly so we could not show a cowardly resolve here!" The sectmaster had said. He firmly believed that even though there was a powerful cultivator in the LD sect, they believed it was just one. How could a single cultivator stop them with thousands of experts in their arsenal?
Being one of the leading first-rate sects, they surely proved to be worthy of the position!
Panra did not know what to say, he wanted to stop the sectmaster and let him analyze the situation for a while since he was not yet sure, but surely, the sectmaster could not just sit idle now that the reputation of the Soaring Phoenix was in the line.
"Sectmaster, are you sure about this? Let me tell you, I cannot analyze their strength due to that sect is a complete mystery to me. I cannot guarantee that there is only one person like her there. So I cannot determine our chances of winning." Panra said what he wanted to say. "If you give me just more time, I could at least gauge out some information regarding them."
"Hmmmm... what you said is feasible." The sectmaster held his chin and smiled in a sinister manner, "But you see, I don't believe they are more powerful than us, who already established and survived countless trials and tribulations for thousands of years. I don't believe that. Oh well, unless the Administration is backing them. But, that would be pretty impossible." He chuckled and said, "After all, Administration will never favor anyone even us in the first-rate sects."
"But..." Panra wanted to say something. However, it was stuck to his throat, "Alright, as you wish." He immediately brushed his doubts off and decided to follow what should be done. Maybe the sectmaster was already aware of the situation and would think by reason, not by blind confidence.
"Haha Panra, you are worrying too much. Since you reported such interesting things, I will forgive you for letting Zushe be killed under your nose." The sectmaster did not know how terrifying the carnage that happened, that's why he was like this. "Alright, I will not be confident if I don't have a plan, you know me, right? But before this could be done, I need you to send a letter to that LD sect that Soaring Phoenix's sectmaster wanted to grace them with his appearance."
It seemed that this sectmaster thought so highly of himself. But to think that the sectmaster would personally go there, it would create a huge commotion!
"As you wish. I will immediately have it done. Do you still perhaps have another command?" Panra said as he smiled.
"Just gather every high elders and elders of our sect and call my son." The sectmaster said.
"Understood." Panra left.
As he was gone, the sectmaster revealed a sigh and smile, "Lovey Dovey Sect... huh? Who would have thought that that measly sect would catch everyone's attention? I guess it would be interesting. Perhaps, I should also call that person?"

Lovey Dovey Sect, the next day.
"Welcome home, Young Master!" Everyone happily said in unison. After more than a week, Jin Rou finally had come back. All of them were celebrating except Yuan Gu who was sulking in the side for some reason.
"Eh... Thank you." Jin Rou said as he was a bit surprised. How did this people know he will come back today and this time? Seeing them prepared, it seemed they already knew from the start. But it did not matter to him.
After a while, Yuna Sierra had reported what has happened in the sect especially the Bitter Sect's assault.
"Oh, so the backing of them is the Soaring Phoenix?" Jin Rou had heard this name before and also knew that it was a powerful sect here in this world. But to think that Bitter Sect could earn the backing of such powerhouse, what tricks did the sect show?
However, while pondering for this moment, a letter had arrived carried by an eagle.
