26: Chapter 26 Iron Hand Sect Crisis

"The Dragon Kingdom Railway Bureau reminds you: the next station is Fei City South Station... Listening to the sound of the high-speed train arriving, you slowly rise from your seat."

"I have been away for almost a month; I have returned to Fei City."

"Although I do not know what the point of returning is, I have returned nonetheless."

"Come and welcome your king," you think to yourself.

You return to your villa in Fei City.

As soon as you return, you see Shen Wanfu standing outside, looking anxious.

The moment he sees you, it is as if he has seen a savior.

"Lin... Great Master Lin, you have finally returned!" As he speaks, Shen Wanfu runs over, looking as if he is about to cry.

You look at his fat physique.

Not again. You would be better off going to find Chen Tianxiao!

"Get away from me!" you shout, reaching out to push away the approaching Shen Wanfu.

Shen Wanfu stops and begins to explain the reason to you.

It turns out that every Pill King Conference can be considered a recruitment event for the Sects.

This time, because of you, the Iron Hand Sect of Fei City shone brilliantly, attracting countless Prodigies, surpassing all the small Sects in the surrounding area.

This was originally a good thing, but from somewhere, news spread that you had offended the Pill King of Danwang Valley.

And that you had already been forcibly suppressed by the Pill King.

Originally, this was just a rumor, but the Pill King Conference has been over for so long, and there has been no sign of you.

Just like that, more and more people slowly began to believe this rumor, and it was even rumored that the Pill King was very displeased.

Now, news has spread that whoever destroys the Iron Hand Sect will receive a reward from the Pill King.

The surrounding Sects were already not happy with the Iron Hand Sect this time, and with this news added on top...

...they hit it off and joined forces to deal with the Iron Hand Sect.

However, with the Dragon Kingdom Dragon Group suppressing things, no one dared to do anything as drastic as destroying the Sect directly.

Instead, they initiated a Sect challenge match. Three Sects challenged the Iron Hand Sect simultaneously. Normally, the Dragon Group would not have been able to approve such a request.

Perhaps because of the Pill King, the Dragon Group actually approved this request.

"If the Iron Hand Sect is gone, our Shen Family will also be liquidated." Shen Wanfu says, gripping your hand: "But Great Master Lin, you have finally returned. As long as you are back, everything will be fine."

For the past few days, Shen Wanfu has come to this villa every day just to see if you have returned.

And as it happens, today is the day of the Sect battle.

"That is quite a coincidence," you think to yourself. If you had stayed at the Liehuo Sect for one more day, the Iron Hand Sect would likely have been gone by the time you returned.

Shen Wanfu dares not delay and wastes no time preparing a vehicle to take you to the Iron Hand Sect.

You stop his actions; this is yet another good stage to show off.

Shen Wanfu does not understand your behavior, but he does as you say. He finds Brother Long.

Brother Long drives you and Shen Wanfu to the Iron Hand Sect.

You arrive at a very opportune time; the Sect competition has just begun.

It is the Iron Hand Sect against three surrounding Sects: the Black Stone Sect, the Green Wood Sect, and the Liefeng Hall.

Actually, there are no specific rules for the Sect competition, but under the regulations of the Dragon Group, it must be ensured that no one dies, and it must be conducted in a relatively peaceful manner.

Generally, it is the high-level members of both Sects fighting one-on-one. Usually, it is a case of 'I send a Transcendent, you send a Transcendent,' and wheel battles are allowed.

What? You say I have twenty Transcendents and you only have one, so it is not fair?

I have twenty Transcendents and you still come to challenge me? Are you stupid?

Of course, under normal circumstances, a Sect with twenty Transcendents would not follow the Dragon Group's format.

Rules are only for oppressing the weak.

You arrive at the scene.

The atmosphere on the Iron Hand Sect's side is not good; it can even be said to be very oppressive.

The other side exploited a loophole in the Dragon Group, treating three Sects as one to challenge the Iron Hand Sect. Of course, this must have involved giving some benefits to the Dragon Group commissioner.

However, even with the three Sects added together, they only have five Transcendents.

Two in the Transcendent Middle Stage, three in the Transcendent Initial Stage.

The Iron Hand Sect has two Transcendents: Great Elder Liu Jinsong in the Transcendent Initial Stage and the Sect Leader in the Transcendent Middle Stage.

Shen Wanfu wants to go and tell the Iron Hand Sect the good news that you have arrived, but you stop him.

Just kidding, the protagonist must appear at the critical moment, of course.

Great Elder Liu Jinsong takes the stage.

In fact, among Transcendents, Great Elder Liu Jinsong can only be considered a newcomer. He only achieved his Breakthrough to the Transcendent stage not long ago, and he is already in his twilight years.

The person who takes the stage on the other side is a middle-aged strong man, looking to be in his fifties, with a muscular build.

He is the Grand Elder of the Black Stone Sect, in the Transcendent Initial Stage.

The two do not have much conversation and start fighting directly.

The strong man initiates the attack first, stomping his feet, his figure rushing toward Great Elder Liu Jinsong like an arrow, his sandbag-sized fist smashing toward Great Elder Liu Jinsong.

Great Elder Liu Jinsong dares not be careless and raises his hand to block. Borrowing the force of the opponent's charge, he twists his feet to gain leverage, his Internal Energy slightly circulating, and he directly throws the strong man up.

The strong man's reaction is also very fast. The moment he is lifted, his Internal Energy erupts, and he actually pauses in mid-air for a second. He kicks his feet as if stepping on something, and his body shoots toward Great Elder Liu Jinsong like a cannonball.

Great Elder Liu Jinsong adopts a defensive posture, taking the strong man's blow head-on, but he feels a sweet taste in his mouth—it is blood.

After a few rounds, Great Elder Liu Jinsong has completely fallen into a disadvantage, his Internal Energy is almost exhausted, and his eyes are already starting to blur.

The strong man is panting, but he is clearly much stronger than Great Elder Liu Jinsong.

"Old man, it is time to surrender." The strong man throws a punch, and this punch smashes hard onto Great Elder Liu Jinsong's face.

He falls down.

"Master!!" Zhou Qingming watches his Master being beaten, his eyes welling up with tears.

"Next!" the strong man says, looking at the Iron Hand Sect Leader.

"Ahhh." Suddenly, the strong man screams.

He looks down and sees that Great Elder Liu Jinsong has bitten his lower parts.

"It is not over yet, kid!" Great Elder Liu Jinsong says viciously.

"Let go, let go!" The strong man's fists smash onto Great Elder Liu Jinsong's face like rain.

He really did not expect that Great Elder Liu Jinsong, who is after all a Transcendent Great Master, would actually use such despicable methods.

Before long, Great Elder Liu Jinsong's face becomes bloody and unrecognizable.

"Ahhh."

"Let go, let go... you old dog!"

"Ahhh."

You are almost afraid to keep watching; you feel a faint pain in your own lower parts.

"Enough, we surrender." A voice rings out.

You look over; it seems to be the Sect Leader of the Black Stone Sect, in the Transcendent Middle Stage.

Just like that, Great Elder Liu Jinsong wins the first match.

However, it seems he will not be able to participate in the second match. Several Disciples of the Iron Hand Sect quickly go up and carry Great Elder Liu Jinsong down.

"Sect Leader, I told you, I would take one out for you." The moment Great Elder Liu Jinsong's battered face sees the Sect Leader, he forces a smile.

Looking at Great Elder Liu Jinsong, the Sect Leader sighs.

"Elder Liu, do not worry, I will definitely win." The Sect Leader says, looking at the remaining four Transcendents.
