Golden Crow Palace
"Sect Master! Sect Master! a huge profound arc has arrived outside of our city and it is exuding a horrifying deathly aura." An elder reported.
Huo Rulie frowned hearing this and ordered "Call all of the elders and follow me, we will go and check that profound arc."
The elder bowed then left to fulfill his task.
"I hope it is nothing serious or else we will lose our chance on killing the Ancient Horned Dragon." Huo Rulie thought and prepared to set out.
Death Arc
Seth was waiting inside the profound arc, he didn't want to waste his time and look for Huo Rulie and the others. in fact they should be the one to approach him, after all he is a Divine Extinction Realm profound practitioner which stood on top of the Divine Realm.
//A/N: I changed his cultivation from True God to Divine Extinction realm because True God is really an overkill.//
He waited for a few minutes and sure enough 33 people appeared outside of the profound arc.
Huo Rulie, Yan Juehai and Yang Wancang was leading the group and stopped in front of the profound arc.
"What a creepy aura, it really sents chill down my spine." Yang Wancang said while shuddering.
Huo Rulie and Yan Juehai nodded, the latter then stepped up and said.
"I am Yan Juehai the Sect Master of the Phoenix Sect, May I know who our esteemed guest are?" Yan Juehai said while staring at the profound arc to check if there is any reaction.
As soon as Yan Juehai finished speaking a familiar voice could be heard coming from the profound arc.
"Well it looks like the Flame God Realm is really courteous, to think that all 3 Sect Masters came out to greet me hahahaha I am really flattered." Seth said and stepped out of the profound arc.
Huo Rulie,Yan Juehai and Yang Wancang mouths twitched seeing the "uninvited guest"
"Hehe, to think that it would be Vice Sect Master Seth from the Snow Song Realm who came to visits us. Yan Juehai greets Mr. Seth" Yan Juehai said while cupping his fist he wouldn't dare be discourteous towards this unreasonable guy infront of him.
Huo Rulie and Yang Wancang also followed suite and greeted Seth.
Seth acknowledged their greetings with a slight nod obviously showing his supremacy over them.
"Where is the Realm King Xuanyin? did you come all alone?" Yang Wancang asked while glancing at the profound arc.
Seth smiled at his question and said "Xuanyin is currently busy within her own confusing world and doesn't even know what to do. So ofcourse I am alone, can't you see that already? or you are implying something?"
Yang Wancang sweated and bowed repeatedly "I'm sorry for asking Mr. Seth please don't be offended at my stupid question." (How on earth did I even manage to piss off this devil?) Wancang thought to himself.
Huo Rulie laughed and said "Mr. Seth should be tired from your journey, let me have the honor to be your host during your stay in our Flame God Realm."
Seth looked at Huo Rulie and nodded "I would be happy to accept your generous hospitality."
Huo Rulie then quickly showed Seth the way towards the Golden Crow Palace.
"Mr. Seth, may I know why you arrive earlier than the alotted time?" Huo Rulie asked.
"Because I want to finish my end of the bargain as soon as possible." Seth replied.
Huo Rulie was shocked hearing this and quickly explained "Mr. Seth we need to wait for it to shed its scales because it will become extremely weak during this process and it will also be the best time to kill it."
Seth sneered and replied "Wait for it to shed? I already decided to kill it tomorrow. I can't possibly wait for a month just because it will be weaker."
"But .." Huo Rulie tried to persuade Seth but he already waved his hands to stop Rulie from speaking and said.
"Don't worry because it doesn't matter even if there are two horned dragons I can easily kill them."
Huo Rulie didn't have a choice, he decided to let Seth see the Ancient Horned Dragon first then try to persuade him after seeing it with his owns two eyes on how strong the dragon is.
When they arrive at the palace they were greeted by Huo Poyun who immediately greeted Seth repectfully and asked.
"Greetings Mr. Seth, is Brother Yun not with you?" Ever since he lost to Yun Che, he was impressed at his strength and started regarding him as his goal.
Seth shook his head and said "He is currently training in the wilderness and I don't even know if he is dead or alive."
Huo Rulie and Huo Poyun stared with eyed towards Seth, they couldn't believe what they just heard.
Huo Poyun clenched his fist tightly then turned his head at his master. "Master please let me also train in the wilderness by myself."
Huo Rulie could only smile wearily at his disciples competiveness against Yun Che and said.
"You can't, did you already forget that reason why we asked for Mr. Seth's help?" Huo Rulie asked.
"But..*Sigh* I understand." Huo Poyun was in a dilemna and chose to give up.
Patting his disciples shoulder Huo Rulie said "Don't worry, After we get the fire stone and let you absorb it your profound strength will greatly increase."
Huo Poyun nodded with determination in his eyes.
Seth observed the master and disciple pair and asked Huo Rulie "Sect Master Rulie why do you even dote your disciple so much? if you don't let them experience a life and death situation then they will just be a cannon fodder in a real war."
He then looked at Huo Poyun and said "Even if you have a high profound strength you are still no match to those profound practitioners with the same strength as yours that had already tasted blood."
After finishing his speech Seth left the two behind and continued walking into the palace like he was the owner of the entire place.
