"Boing!" An odd sound rang out.
Virtuous Saint Hong Dae's punch collided with an invisible barrier but it bounced off the invisible barrier like it was made of jelly.
His attack caused the surface of the invisible barrier to ripple for a moment, allowing Hong Dae to catch a glimpse of the invisible barrier's true form.
When he saw the invisible barrier's true form, he couldn't help but become shocked.
'Isn't this Chaos Clan newly founded? Why does it have such a powerful protection array? Not only did I see ten array patterns forming a part of the entire protection array, there was even a fist size piece of meteoric iron serving as the formation's core?!'
'Since when was a fist sized piece of meteoric iron obtainable by a Sect that had just opened its doors last week??'
Questions flooded Virtuous Saint Hong Dae's mind as he tried to cause a ripple in the protection array again.
'Screw breaking in. The founder of the clan must be an Array Grandmaster to set up this sort of protection barrier.'
Virtuous Saint Hong Dae nodded to himself vigorously.
It would be a massive problem for him if he offends the clan's clan leader now.
Because if the Chaos Clan's head was indeed an Array Grandmaster, the Chaos Clan's clan head would definitely seek revenge on Goryeo who would dare to disrespect him.
Thinking so, Virtuous Saint Hong Dae started to tidy himself up by combing his hair with the wind element and tucking in his shirt.
He decided it was best for him to try and build a close relationship with the Chaos Clan's head.
Not only would he be able to benefit from this relationship, Goryeo would be able to invite this hidden Array Grandmaster to their headquarters too.
From there, they could deepen their bond with the Array Grandmaster by giving him fame and beauties.
Virtuous Saint Hong Dae was certain that this hidden Array Grandmaster opened a clan to recruit disciples and make a name for himself.
Hong Dae speculated that the Array Grandmaster would first pass down his array knowledge to his students, before allowing his students to travel the world to broaden their horizons.
If his disciples did well, his status as an Array Grandmaster would spread through the lands for years to come.
And if his disciples became famous figures in the cultivation world, countless people would line up at the clan's front door, hoping to become the hidden Array Grandmaster's next batch of disciples.
Up to that point, the hidden Array Grandmaster would no longer hide himself from the world.
Wherever he'd go, the Array Grandmaster would be welcomed with open arms.
If he wanted beauties, jade beauties and fairies would flock towards him like moths to a flame.
If he wanted riches, countless countries and top tier sects would empty out their treasure vaults for him.
So before the Array Grandmaster could taste the lavish life worthy of his profound array forming skills, Virtuous Saint Hong Dae planned to use the bait and hook method to reel the Chaos Clan's Clan Head into his Goryeo.
With a wave of his sleeve, Virtuous Saint Hong Dae took out a piece of Silver Ironwood from his storage ring.
He then straighten his back and shouted loudly, "I, Virtuous Saint Hong Dae, the vice sect leader of Korea's no.1 clan, Goryeo, seeks permission to visit Senior!"
"Rejected!"
"I came bearing gifts for Senior! If you would be so kind to let me through your protection array, this 10k year old piece of Silver Ironwood will become Senior's property–"
"Pah! It's just a 10k year old piece of Silver Ironwood! I have a fist sized piece of Yin Yang Meteoric Iron! If you can bring me a rare artifact or a worldly treasure of the same value, then I will let you enter my Chaos Clan."
"Yin Yang Meteoric Iron?! There's only been sightings of Yin Yang Meteoric Iron in my sect's ancient records! Where did Senior acquire the piece of Yin Yang Meteoric Iron?" Shocked by Blake's words, Virtuous Saint Hong Dae composed himself before he asked again.
As a worldly treasure, Meteoric Iron can be used to do many things.
Be it smelting and refining Meteoric Iron into a sturdy weapon, or using the Meteoric Iron as the core of a high level formation.
Meteoric Iron was considered to be rare and priceless.
As for the method to acquire meteoric iron, it can only be obtained from fallen meteorites.
As such, many countries would keep their meteorites locked up in their own respective vaults, fearing that their piece of meteoric iron would fall into the hands of their enemies.
As for Yin Yang Meteoric Iron, the cultivators of the current era deemed that Yin Yang Meteoric Iron did not exist.
It was said that only when a piece of Meteoric Iron was bathed in moonlight for a thousand years could it be called Yin Meteoric Iron.
Following that, that piece of Yin Meteoric Iron has to be placed inside the core of a planet for another thousand years to gain the yang attribute.
By then, it will be called Yin Yang Meteoric Iron.
With the properties of both yin and yang, the piece of meteoric iron can enhance the efficiency of any action done by its user by 40%!
Long story short, Yin Yang Meteoric Iron has both the properties of the strongest metal as well as the best catalyst for cultivators to use.
Back to the story…
Virtuous Saint Hong Dae gulped hard when he heard Blake's words.
A fist sized piece of Yin Yang Meteoric Iron!
There was an actual fist sized piece of Yin Yang Meteoric Iron in the outskirts of the Swordfish Kingdom!
What the hell!
This doesn't make sense!
Goryeo was the biggest and strongest clan in Korea, yet it didn't have any meteoric iron in its treasure vault.
Whereas a no name clan in the outskirts of a Brazilian-Japanese Kingdom does not only possess a fist sized piece of Meteoric Iron, their Meteoric Iron was the legendary Yin Yang Meteoric Iron!
To top it off, the Chaos Clan's Clan Head was using the legendary Yin Yang Meteoric Iron to serve as his clan's protection array core!
Just thinking about how a world war could start anytime if word of this gets out made Virtuous Saint Hong Dae's mind go blank from immense shock.
'This…This…I can't believe this–Pft!' Blood gushed out of Virtuous Saint Hong Dae's seven orifices before he finally died while standing up.
'Haiz, who knew one could die just from overthinking too much? Now I have to call someone to clean up the Korean man's mess.'
Surprised by what had just happened, Blake let out a sigh.
