Chapter 583: Chapter 582: The Formidable Sect Master

Only a few people were still standing, the Lin Family, the Cheng Family, Su Yang, and Jeang Zier. Even Wang Qian, who was not far away, now knelt down in a fluster, shouting the loudest.

The Sect Master’s face wore an expression of arrogance, casually nodding to the crowd, his gaze mainly settling on those who had not knelt.

His eyes swept over the people from the Lin and Cheng Families, lingered on Su Yang’s face for a moment, and finally rested on Jeang Zier. He made no attempt to hide his greed, staring intently at Jeang Zier as if he wished he could strip her clothes off right there and then.

Jeang Zier felt somewhat intimidated and quietly stepped back. At that moment, Su Yang took a small step forward, shielding her from the Sect Master’s gaze.

Looking at Su Yang’s broad shoulders, Jeang Zier suddenly felt a wave of relief. When she first saw the Sect Master, she was very frightened. But, for some reason, when Su Yang stepped forward, her heart completely calmed down, as if even if the sky fell, Su Yang could hold it up for her.

However, the Sect Master was now annoyed. He looked at Su Yang with cold eyes, "Who are you? To come to the River God Sect seeking medicine, yet you refuse to kneel. With such insincerity, how can the River God bestow his favor on you?"

Su Yang chuckled internally, ’Your so-called River God is sound asleep in my pocket right now. Bestow his favor on me? Would you like me to wake Little Turtle up to favor you instead?’

"Watch your words," Su Yang said coldly, "We came to the River God Sect to purchase medicine, with goods in exchange, not to beg from you. So, there’s no discussion about kneeling or not kneeling. We are not followers of your River God Sect, why should we be humiliated by you?"

Upon hearing this, the scene erupted into commotion.

Zhao Wuyuan was the first to jump up, pointing at Su Yang and cursing loudly, "What are you, to speak to the Sect Master in such a way? Do you not realize the enormity of the crime of disrespecting the Sect Master? You are not only arrogant and conceited, but also speak without restraint; dying a hundred times over would still not be enough for you!"

The Sect Master’s eyebrows knitted together as he stared at Su Yang, his voice cold, "It seems you really don’t respect the rules of our River God Sect. In that case, let’s cut the talk. Someone, seize them. I want them to kneel and beg for mercy in front of the River God!"

Though the Sect Master spoke of arresting Su Yang and the others, his main target was still Jeang Zier.

Lin Feng could naturally see these intentions, immediately stepping forward with his men, his voice cold, "Sect Master, these people are involved with the traitor from our Lin family. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly. I hope we can personally take him back with us!"

The Sect Master’s face turned cold as he said in a deep voice, "And what if I am unwilling?"

"Hmph, this is Pingbei Province!" Lin Feng said coldly, "Our Lin family may be quite ordinary, but we are still among the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province. If we so wish, with just one word, we could level your River God Sect!"

"Is that so?" The Sect Master chuckled coldly, pointing at Lin Feng, "I was originally willing to give some face to the Lin family, but it seems unnecessary now. Ignorant boy, to dare speak such insanity, today I cannot allow you to continue!"

With that, the Sect Master swung a palm strike towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s face changed drastically, knowing the Sect Master’s power was truly great, and he was in no way a match for him.

At that moment, an old man leaped out beside Lin Feng, intercepting the Sect Master’s strike and saving Lin Feng’s life.

The crowd stirred at once, and the Sect Master furrowed his brows, saying grimly, "To take one palm from me, you must be no ordinary man. Who exactly are you?"

The old man declared loudly, "This old man is Lin Shangwu!"

"What? He’s Lin Shangwu?"

"One of the ninth-ranked fighters among the top experts of Pingbei Province!"

"My god, it’s actually him? The Lin family has truly sent a powerful expert this time!"

"I really didn’t expect to see such a big shot here!"

The crowd exclaimed incessantly, as Lin Shangwu’s name rang too loudly in Pingbei Province. The ninth-ranked existence in Pingbei Province, how could he be ordinary?

Feng Wenchuan and Zhao Wunian among others had their expressions change, as they originally thought the Lin Family had only sent the young master Lin Feng. To their surprise, the Lin Family had sent such a master.

Lin Shangwu was a match for few even throughout Pingbei Province. In these years, Lin Shangwu had been devoted to cultivation, visiting famed masters in various places, greatly enhancing his strength.

In the last May Dragon Head Meeting, he was unable to participate due to some affairs. At that time, people speculated that if Lin Shangwu had taken part in the Dragon Head Meeting, his ranking might have gone up a lot.

And this time, he had actually come to the River God Sect, naturally shocking everyone!

"Lin Shangwu!?" The Sect Master gave him a cold glance, "I’ve heard your name, you have some prestige in the secular world. However, this is the River God Sect, are you sure you want to oppose us?"

"I think Lin Feng is right..." Lin Shangwu said with a faint smile, "Moreover, you strike with the intent to kill a member of my Lin Family, do you really take my Lin Family lightly?"

"So, you’re set on opposing me?" The Sect Master nodded slowly, his voice cold, "If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being impolite!"

The Sect Master slowly stepped down from the platform, pointing at Lin Shangwu, "Within five strikes, if I don’t make you kneel, I’ll consider it my loss!"

Lin Shangwu’s face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "The Sect Master might be too confident!"

"Whether I am confident or not, we’ll know after we fight!" The Sect Master roared angrily, and without any merging action, he charged directly at Lin Shangwu, his hand chopping down with a palm strike.

Lin Shangwu stepped aside, but the Sect Master’s palm strike didn’t end there. Just as he turned around, the Sect Master’s palm changed direction and continued towards him.

Lin Shangwu’s face changed drastically, realizing that he could not dodge this strike.

He no longer tried to evade and simply clashed palms with the Sect Master.

Both of them stepped back, Lin Shangwu sneered. With strength comparable to his, the Sect Master would not find it easy to defeat him, let alone make him kneel within five strikes.

"Again!" The Sect Master shouted loudly, striking once more.

Having learned from the last encounter, Lin Shangwu didn’t try to avoid it this time and fully confronted the Sect Master with a strike.

This time, Lin Shangwu stepped back, while the Sect Master did not budge.

Lin Shangwu’s face changed drastically, his strength hadn’t changed, but the Sect Master’s seemed to have increased a lot—what was going on?

"Again!" The Sect Master shouted once more, delivering another palm strike.

Lin Shangwu, panicked, tried to dodge, but he couldn’t avoid the strike. The two clashed again, and this time Lin Shangwu staggered back three steps, a sweet taste in his throat, and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.

"The fourth strike!" The Sect Master roared, striking again.

Lin Shangwu realized by now that the Sect Master’s power increased with each strike. He did not understand why the Sect Master was experiencing this, but he had no other choice at this moment.
