However, things didn't go according to their plan.
Before he made his way back to the Empyreal City, Donny suddenly received an unexpected message from his father.
"Damn it! Bad news!
Members of the Sword Pavilion Sect were sent to the Jade Sun Sect to wreak havoc and givea headache,"
Donny groaned, a hint of panic appearing in his eyes.
His concern was understandable because the Sword Pavilion Sect was very powerful,
while the Jade Sun Sect was nothing compared to it.
"Really?
But why?
Didn't you just say that you were going to the Sword Pavilion Sect to acknowledge the so-called Master Benedict as your master
and learn swordsmanship from him?
Why would the Sword Pavilion Sect send their members to the Jade Sun Sect to make trouble for you?"
Austin asked curiously.
"That's because | didn't arrive at the Sword Pavilion Sect at the appointed day to beca disciple.
Hence, the Sword Pavilion Sect probably thought that | was looking down on their sect, so they sent people to the Jade Sun Sect to
demand compensation,"
Donny explained.
"How is that reasonable? | can't understand their logic. A cultivator should choose a master out of their own free will! How could
they try to force anyone to take them as a master?
Since that's the case, let's go take a look,"
said Austin.
"Master, are you really going back with me?
That's awesome!"
Donny lit up in joy when he heard that Austin was coming along with him.
There was no need to be afraid of the Sword Pavilion Sect if he cback next to Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
Although the Sword Pavilion Sect was powerful enough to give people pause, it was like an ant when compared with Austin and the
chaotic sky-devouring beast.
Without wasting another moment, Donny hurriedly led Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast to the headquarters of the Jade
Sun Sect.
Several hours later,
they arrived at the headquarters of the Jade Sun Sect.
At the stime, Donny's father was busy receiving his uninvited guests in a tall palace at the headquarters of the Jade Sun Sect.
"I can guarantee everyone here that my son, Donny Liu, has never looked down upon the Sword Pavilion Sect.
There's no way | would have paid such a great cost just so Master Benedict would agree to take him as a disciple otherwise.
If he hasn't arrived at the Sword Pavilion Sect for registration yet, it's most likely because something unexpected happened to him
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton his way to the Sword Pavilion Sect.
I've already sent word for him to cback as soon as possible.
Once he arrives, I'll make sure that he would clearly explain,"
a middle-aged man stood in the palace and said cautiously.
More than a dozen people with fierce auras sat smack in the middle of the palace.
With just one look, it was easy to see that each of them had terrifying strength.
"Humph, you don't have to try and weasel your way out of this.
Your Jade Sun Sect is as weak as an ant in front of our Sword Pavilion Sect.
Master Benedict only agreed to accept Donny as his disciple back then by the virtue of your sincerity.
It's an honor great enough to even bring glory to even the ancestors of the Jade Sun Sect.
However, much to our surprise, Donny didn't even show his face in the Sword Pavilion Sect on the appointed day.
This shows his serious disrespect against our Sword Pavilion Sect.
If this news spreads, our Sword Pavilion Sect will completely lose face!"
a tall man among the group of people coldly declared.
"Your Jade Sun Sect must pay the price for this disrespect.
We will never let this go,"
another man within the group added with a sneer.
"Pay the price?"
The head of the Jade Sun Sect repeated, struck dumb at their words.
"Pardonbut what price does your Sword Pavilion Sect want our Jade Sun Sect to pay?"
he asked cautiously.
"From this moment onwards, your Jade Sun Sect must pay seventy percent of your total incto our Sword Pavilion Sect every
year.
We will allow you to keep the remaining thirty percent to yourself,"
the tall man declared.
"What?
Pay you seventy percent of our total incevery year?! Is that your idea of a joke?
Impossible. It'll be completely impossible for our Jade Sun Sect to make ends meet!"
The head of the Jade Sun Sect couldn't hold back his anger.
"Your Sword Pavilion Sect obviously doesn't want to let our Jade Sun Sect live!"
"You've gone too far!"
"That's too much!"
An angry mob of people from the Jade Sun Sect quickly let their grievances fill the palace.
"Ha-ha, we're not here to negotiate with your Jade Sun Sect.
We're telling you to do it.
It doesn't matter even if you don't want to accept it.
If you refuse to accept our terms, our Sword Pavilion Sect's army will cmarching here to annihilate the entirety of your Jade
Sun Sect,"
the tall man said.
"You..."
The head of the Jade Sun Sect was so shocked and was filled with so much anger that he could not find the words to argue.
Even though he wanted to fight back, he was also perfectly aware that the Jade Sun Sect was too weak.
It was nothing before the might of the Sword Pavilion Sect.
If the army of the Sword Pavilion Sect decided to lay siege on the Jade Sun Sect, then they would really be doomed.
"lI understand now. The only reason why your Sword Pavilion Sect even agreed to accept Donny as a disciple was because you
wanted to find an excuse to swallow up our Jade Sun Sect.
Even if Donny arrived on tto acknowledge Benedict as his master, your Sword Pavilion Sect would just find another excuse to
make trouble for our Jade Sun Sect!"
the head of the Jade Sun Sect shouted, his eyes suddenly lighting up in understanding once he realized the trap set before them.
"It's too late even if you say anything now.
From now on, seventy percent of your Jade Sun Sect's total incmust be handed over to our Sword Pavilion Sect every year. We
will annihilate you if you try to get out of this!"
the tall man declared.
"Sir, they're trying to bully us.
Let's fight them to the death!"
"Yeah, let's fight!"
Several senior leaders of the Jade Sun Sect could no longer bear their anger, so they quickly jumped to their feet and picked a
fight.
"Ha-ha, how can you pathetic losers fight with us?
Go to hell!"
The tall man laughed wildly and then flicked his finger.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Several streaks of sword-light shot out in a row, each of which contained terrifying energy of swordsmanship.
"Ahhh!"
The senior leaders of the Jade Sun Sect who called for a battle were quickly killed right where they were standing.
At the sight of so many of them dying in the blink of an eye, the other senior leaders of the Jade Sun Sect bit down on their
tongues and did not speak another word.
"Ha-ha, how could a group of ants even hope to fight against us?
How ridiculous!
All right, we're going to take our leave.
Remember to hand over seventy percent of your incto our Sword Pavilion Sect every year!"
the tall man laughed and waved his hand, ready to leave along with the people from the Sword Pavilion Sect.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment,
before anyone could notice,
three figures entered the palace.
"Where have you been, Donny?"
the sect leader of the Jade Sun Sect shouted immediately.
"Donny, why didn't you go to the Sword Pavilion Sect on time?
You screwed over our Jade Sun Sect big time,"
he scolded bitterly.
"Dad, | no longer want to acknowledge Master Benedict as my master nor learn anything from him.
I've found myself another master.
My master is much more powerful than Master Benedict could ever hope to be,"
Donny hurriedly explained.
"You found another master?
Who is it?"
The head of the Jade Sun Sect was stunned to hear his son's words.
"Ha-ha, just like | said, this ignorant brat is really looking down on our Sword Pavilion Sect. | was speaking the truth,"
the tall man declared, cutting in between their conversation.
All the other people from the Sword Pavilion Sect also sneered and looked at Donny with malicious gazes.
"A master more powerful than Benedict?
Who could it be?"
The head of the Jade Sun Sect hurriedly repeated his question.
"This is him!"
Donny declared, gesturing towards Austin.
"Maybe you don't realize it, but my master is very powerful.
He's much more powerful than Master Benedict,"
Donny proudly declared.
"Ha-ha! You ignorant boy, you're talking nonsense.
How could this trash be more powerful than Master Benedict?
Why would you try to show off like this?"
The tall man burst into uncontrollable laughter as he looked down on Austin.
