The group of girls were walking down the road
One of the approaches the girl at front and said
"Congratulation to Senior Sister after the submission of this mission you can finally reach C rank," The girl said with a smile
"Yeah then we will have a C rank adventurer in our group" Another girl on the side added
"Yeah Senior Sister you should give us a party tonight" A girl on her left side said
"You all are exaggerating too much I still have to go through rank up exam if I passed it then I will definitely give you a party," The leading girl said with a smile
"It's just a rank up exam I think Senior Sister will do just fine," The girl who spoke first said
"You flattery bee" The leading girl tapped her head with a smile
"Hehe.." The girl stuck out her tongue
Just at that time Jess and Luther came in front of them and blocked their way
The girls got alert, some of them even took out their weapon
Because their dress up looked weird in the girls' eyes
"Don't misunderstand us ladies, we just lost our way and came here to ask for your help?" Jess said with a smile
The leading girl nodded but she was still looking at their weird armor getup
'Who wears something like that on such a hot day' She thought
But she still nodded and signaled the girls behind her to put down their weapons
The girls obeyed her
"I thank you for believing us, kind lady can you tell me where are the Puppet Sect and anything big that happened here in Eastern Continent these days" Jess decided to ask the basic things first so as not to catch her suspicion
But he found out that when he asked this question every girl gave him strange looks
{Did I said something weird} (Jess)
{This... I didn't found something wrong in it} (Luther)
"Are you not from the Eastern Continent?" The leading girl asked after thinking for a while
"Huh? we are actually from Western Continent we only came here to complete a task" Jess said
Western Continent is the farthest continent to Eastern Continent that's why it takes a lot of time for the news to reach there and because Jess took a roundabout path and came after traveling from the land of Northern Continent he was not updated to the latest information about the Eastern Continent
'No wonder you don't know. the thing is Puppet Sect is long been destroyed" The girl said
Jess and Luther looked at each other, their mind were blank this news was too much for them to digest that easily
Then the girl told them the whole story about the destruction of Puppet Sect and Shadow Lord
Although in the start there was a rumor among adventurers that Shadow Lord destroyed the whole Puppet Sect on his own, in the start no one believed it but when many people said that they had seen it with their own eyes and after seeing the mysterious things they can get from the guild people started to believe it
But after the rumor traveled from one ear to other its structure began to change that's why the rumors these girls heard were very different from the originals for example
Shadow Lord was so strong that he could destroy a mountain with fists
He flattened the whole Puppet Sect with a palm...
Rex was now like a Living Legend in their eyes
{What do you think} (Jess)
Jess asked Luther after listening to the whole story
{Hmm we have already come to Eastern Continent so we should at least have a look at this Frozen Flame Guild I want to see if this Shadow Lord is really as mysterious as this girl said} (Luther)
"This lady, can you show us the way to the Frozen Flame Guild," Jess asked politely
"Yes we are also going there you can come with us," The girl said
Jess then also brought his men and introduced them to the girls they had enough horses so few knights shared horses and the rest were used by the girls to travel, Jess did it because he didn't wanted to waste time by walking
By evening they reached Frozen Flame Guild
Just when Luther and Jess entered the guildhall they halted their steps
{You noticed too} (Jess)
{Yeah I can feel the presence of many Spirit Kings inside} Luther said as he looked at the few old men on the tables who were laughing and drinking wine
"You didn't you heard what I said…"
Just at this time, they heard someone shouting loudly
It caught the attention of many people
Three men were standing at the wine counter
The leading man was wearing a long robe which had golden plating on it from one look anyone could tell that it was expensive
He was looking at the girl at the counter in anger
"Sir I already said it you cannot use the money to buy anything here" The girl was slightly annoyed
She was actually a disciple of Snow Flower Sect before so she didn't have any good impression of men and now that she encountered someone like the one in front of her it only annoyed her
"Good you have guts now I will not only take the wines here you will come with us too" The man sneered at her
"You don't know who is Young Master Chu, he is from Chu family which had served the royal family for generations if it was in Central Continent someone like won't even be qualified as a maid," The man beside him said sarcastically
Central Continent is way closer to Eastern Continent compared to Western Continent and the news network here is fastest in all five continent.. at least before Rex made the sound transmission talisman
After getting the news many influences sent their people.. mostly next generation children to Eastern Continent get information to confirm it and gain experience
And these three were also part of those people
After saying this all three of them expected to gain surprised looks from everyone and thought that they will even bow to show their respect
But they soon realized that the girl was looking at them like looking at idiots.. and everyone in the hall was looking at them like how predators look at their prey
They didn't knew but incidents like this had already became common in the guild where many people try to use their status, power or money to get things
Jess didn't knew this either so he was about to step forward but the girl beside him stopped him
"Wait at least let the guild release a bounty quest first… that way we can get contribution point just by killing these idiots" The girls said as she licked her lips
Jess didn't understood her meaning but he still waited
"What's the ruckus here" Just at this time a young man entered the hall
Everyone looked at him
"Its.. its Young Master Liu" The girl beside Jess exclaimed in surprise
"Who is that.. is it someone important" Jess asked
"Yeah, you are new here so you don't know.. Young Master Liu is the first genius of Frozen Flame Sect and most importantly he is the only disciple of Shadow Lord" She said
Her words caught the attention of Jess and Luther so they looked at Liu Wei
Liu Wei first walked to the mission submission counter and put a small bag there
According to the rules of the sect even he had to work to get resources and that's what Rex told him to do, he did it to sharpen his battle instincts and prevent him from becoming arrogant or getting spoiled
Liu Wei then walked to the wine counted and looked at the girl
"Give me the usual" Liu Wei said with a smile
She nodded then she took out a white wine bottle and gave it to
"Here's your Heart Calming Urn," The girl said with a smile
Then Liu Wei placed his guild card on the table to pay with contribution point
All this time everyone's attention was on him
The three men also noticed it and they were extremely dissatisfied by it especially Young Master Chu he was used to always being flattered and being the center of attention so how could he let himself be overshadowed
"So what's your problem," Liu Wei said as he looked at him
"Who you are to interfere," Young Master Chu said in a bad tone
He has already seen that Liu Wei's cultivation base is Form Synthesis 2nd stage and his own cultivation base is Form Synthesis 4th stage and coupled with the two men beside him he wasn't worried about making trouble
Although he still didn't realized how many Spirit King is in the hall because of their carefree attitude but he believed that after his men had announced his status no one will bother him
Liu Wei ignored him and looked at the girl at the counter
"They want to use the money to buy all the wine" The girl said
Before Rex left he had already made a lot of wine and although others in the sect now had good recipes left by Rex it still takes years to make a fine wine that's why the amount of wine one could buy in a day is limited and they can only buy it using contribution points
"You how dare you ignore me" The man took out his sword and put it on Liu Wei's neck
