Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 432: The Undercurrents Surge!

"Let it go?" Liang Tianhao scoffed coldly. "Look at how he treated us. You tell me, how are we supposed to just let this go?"

Han Zongwei fell silent, not knowing how to answer the question.

Liang Tianhao continued, "As it is, our Baiyue Sect has already handed over a large amount of our resources to Dragon Gate. Senior Brother Yang is still in seclusion. When he comes out, how am I supposed to explain this to him?"

Han Zongwei and the others fell silent once more. No one could answer that question; no one knew what to do.

Liang Tianhao’s tone turned sinister. "That damned Long Chen, for what he did to me... I will absolutely not let him get away with this!"

Seeing that Liang Tianhao had no intention of dropping the matter, Han Zongwei asked, "Senior Brother Liang, are you still planning to move against Dragon Gate?"

"You all might be able to swallow this insult, but I certainly can’t," Liang Tianhao said coldly.

"But that kid’s strength is just too formidable. If we continue to oppose them..." By now, Han Zongwei was fully aware of how terrifying Long Chen was. He shuddered just thinking about it.

"We’ll wait for Senior Brother Yang to come out of seclusion!" After a moment of contemplation, Liang Tianhao continued, "So what if that kid is strong? I refuse to believe he’s stronger than Senior Brother Yang! Once Senior Brother Yang is out, we’ll have him get justice for us and win back the Baiyue Sect’s honor."

Han Zongwei had been worried, but his anxious heart relaxed the moment he heard they would wait for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was the Sha Zhu of the Baiyue Sect! His strength was immense! Moreover, he was a rare cultivation genius within the Jinglei Sect.

If they really waited for Yang Ming to emerge before settling accounts with Long Chen’s group, the matter could indeed be handled smoothly. That so-called Long Chen wasn’t even in the same league as Yang Ming.

The other members of the Baiyue Sect narrowed their eyes slightly, a hint of anticipation rising in their hearts. They couldn’t wait for Yang Ming to finish his seclusion so they could settle accounts with the people from Dragon Gate and reclaim the honor and respect they had lost.

"We’ll lie low for another month," Liang Tianhao reminded them. "During this time, we’ll keep a low profile and avoid provoking anyone from Dragon Gate. Senior Brother Yang will come out of seclusion for the sect’s internal assessment in one month’s time. He can help us teach those bastards from Dragon Gate a lesson then."

News of the incident spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Jinglei Sect in no time.

"No way! The Baiyue Sect guys really knelt at Dragon Gate for a whole day?"

"Is Dragon Gate really that incredible?"

"You have no idea! I heard the leader of Dragon Gate, that guy named Long Chen, took down that whole crew from the Baiyue Sect all by himself. He’s unbelievable!"

"And there’s more, did you know? Dragon Gate responded to the elixir incident by giving free, higher-quality Elixir Pills to everyone who bought them before. On top of that, it turns out the whole thing was orchestrated by the Medicine Pavilion and the Baiyue Sect."

"Those two factions were working together just to suppress Dragon Gate."

"Not only that, Dragon Gate also announced that anyone who registers to buy Elixir Pills in the next two days gets a discount. After that, the price goes up. This is a clear declaration of war against the Medicine Pavilion!"

"I really underestimated this Dragon Gate. They’re damn fierce."

"At this rate, Dragon Gate’s rise is inevitable. It almost makes me want to join..."

For a time, all the heated discussions within the Jinglei Sect revolved around Dragon Gate. More and more disciples were having a major change of heart about the faction. Some even began to consider joining Dragon Gate and becoming one of them.

「Meanwhile.」

The members of the Medicine Pavilion had been mocking the Baiyue Sect for their utter humiliation. But when they received the news about Dragon Gate’s Elixir Pills announcement, the smiles on their faces instantly froze, replaced by solemn expressions.

"That damned Dragon Gate has some nerve! We’ve already blacklisted them, yet they still dare to advertise their Elixir Pills in broad daylight. This is a clear declaration of war! Who gave them the guts?!"

"Those sons of bitches! These greenhorns who just joined the sect are outrageously arrogant, acting like the Medicine Pavilion’s words are just hot air. They must be made to pay a price!"

"Absolutely! Do they think we’re the Baiyue Sect? We have to show them how formidable the Medicine Pavilion truly is. It seems our last punishment was too lenient. This time, we’ll crush them so they can never recover!"

The members of the Medicine Pavilion were furious with Dragon Gate’s actions. They turned to Wang Pingchuan and said, "Pavilion Master, that kid is too arrogant. He’s completely ignoring our Medicine Pavilion. It’s time we knocked some sense into them."

"Let’s show them who really controls the supply of Elixir Pills around here!"

"That’s right! Pavilion Master, just give the word, and I’ll lead some men to wipe out Dragon Gate right now."

Hearing his members’ words, Wang Pingchuan smiled faintly.

He murmured, "Interesting. It seems I underestimated him. Since he has the guts, I’ll play along."

At his words, all eyes turned to Wang Pingchuan.

He spoke coolly, "All of you, keep a close watch on Dragon Gate’s activities. Report any news to me at once! For now, just keep pressuring them! I’d like to see who’s brave enough to cozy up to Dragon Gate and offend our Medicine Pavilion in the process!"

"Yes!"

The Medicine Pavilion members nodded in unison and sprang into action.

For the next two days, due to the Medicine Pavilion’s continuous pressure, even the Jinglei Sect disciples who really wanted to purchase Elixir Pills from Dragon Gate quickly abandoned the idea, remembering the Pavilion’s power.

The members of Dragon Gate were helpless in the face of this situation and could only watch as the disciples who had started to support them drifted away.

Qi Yuanchen frowned and asked Long Chen, "Gate Master, in the last two days, no one else has come to register besides the few who already signed up."

"A few is fine." Long Chen smiled. He knew this was the result of pressure from the Medicine Pavilion; otherwise, far more people would have registered.

Qi Yuanchen asked curiously, "Gate Master, the Medicine Pavilion is a tough nut to crack. What’s our next move?"
