CHAPTER 271 TO 280

Chapter 271: Shura Sect Venerable

Light Wind Empire, Border City.

Just a few thousand miles from the shores of the Light Wind Empire, sat a towering and colossal city. The city was huge and took up a vast amount of land. The city walls were as high as the sky, so high it could block out the sun.

Border City was the biggest city and the first line of defence for the Light Wind Empire. It had a long history and was known as one of the Three Big Ancient Cities along with the Imperial City and Western Mystery City.

When seen from afar, the Border City resembled a huge statue of a War-God, giving off an ancient feel. It rested on the frontier of the Light Wind Empire, looking over the land.

On the vast plains outside Border City, there was a group of travellers. Among the group, there were energetic spirit beasts pulling the carriage, flanked by warriors astride Single Horn Spirit Horses. They were all heading for Border City.

A horn sounded off solemnly from within Border City. The sound was deafening and spreading out rapidly.

The gates of Border City opened and many fully armored soldiers marched out. They raised their hands slightly to welcome this group of people.

Ji Chengyu looked impressed but kept a poker face as he steadily rode the Single Horn Spirit Horse . He smirked when he saw all the soldiers that were there to welcome him.

The moment one entered Border City, it felt like a totally different place. The streets of Border City were totally occupied by the soldiers. Ji Chengyu entered the place and stopped at the center of a group of soldiers.

The curtains in the carriage opened and an elderly figure came out from the carriage, with a wrinkled face and wearing a black robe. Breathing irregularly, he clasped his hands and looked at the surrounding people before inhaling lightly.

From among the soldiers, some people who also wore black robes appeared. They respectfully bowed at the elderly man.

"We pay respect to Shura Sect Venerable."

The warriors in black robes began to greet and bow in great respect for him.

Shura Sect did not belong to any of the top ten sects and was a very old sect. They were finally reformed today, in wait for the time to rise again. Light Wind Empire was the first of many stepping stones for them.

The wrinkles on the elderly man's face trembled. He waved his hands at the crowd and said, "The High Priest sent me here today. My first mission is to assist King Yu in his ascension to the throne, and secondly, to fight for the revival of Shura sect. We Shura Sect have remained in low profile for too long, and many people in the world have forgotten how great we used to be. Powerhouses in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Wildlands and Illusory Spirit Swamp have probably forgotten about us, but soon enough, they will surely remember the fear of being dominated once more."

The Shura Sect crowd was excited; their eyes revealed their enthusiasm.

Ji Chengyu squinted as he saw this sight. His heart began to thud. He had a somber expression.

This Shura Sect... was the force behind Mahayana Island, the backing of Zhao Musheng. Now... they supported Ji Chengyu, whom will rely on them to take back the throne.

However, he knew clearly in his heart that Shura Sect was a double-edged sword, and also a very sharp one. If he did not wield it properly... he would not only sustain mere superficial wounds.

...

Wuliang Mountain was as tall as the skies. It resembled a sword that extended all the way into the sky, piercing the clouds.
