Chapter 305 - Stunned Jimen Kanding

Looking at the fleeing enemies, Prince Dante and the others heaved a sigh of relief. The others from the Crimson Sun Sect also retreated when they discovered that most of their allies had already fled. Even their elders followed them, afraid that they would be slaughtered by the crazed experts of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

"Brother Yang, you’re too awesome! You managed to ignite everyone’s spirit with a few words! I’ll follow you from now on!" Han Sen chuckled as he stared at their escaping enemies.

Yang Zenke glanced at Han Sen in disdain. This guy had really become good at kissing someone’s ass. He wondered where this guy learned this from.

"It is nothing special. Everyone wants cultivation resources, so I merely used that to our advantage." Yang Zenke said in a calm voice.

Prince Dante, Beiming Chu, and the others gathered towards Yang Zenke. All of them had various wounds all over their bodies, but every one of them had excited expressions. After all, they had just won a fight which was not in their favor, so everyone’s exhilaration was understandable.

"Brother Yang, we managed to make them retreat, but we still need to go back and help Elder Hestia and Elder Hu Xiandao." Prince Dante said.

Just as Yang Zenke was about to call everyone, he suddenly sensed two strong auras coming towards them. He frowned and shifted his gaze to the left. Prince Dante also noticed his reaction and so he followed Yang Zenke’s line of sight. To their surprise, they discovered that it was actually Hestia and Hu Xiandao.

"Greetings Elder Hestia, Elder Hu!" They greeted respectfully.

Hestia and Hu Xiandao scanned everyone and they both heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that all of them were safe.

"Elders, tend to the wounded disciples. We will rest here for a few minutes before we go back to the sword tower." Hu Xiandao commanded in a stern voice. He was now a 9th-rank Saint and he had a higher status in the Heavenly Sword Tower than these elders, so they immediately nodded their heads upon hearing his command.

"Elder Hu, are you sure that we will rest here?" Prince Dante asked speechlessly. The Crimson Sun Sect knew this place and it would be bad if they call for reinforcements. Some elders were injured and a few disciples even had grave wounds. It would not be ideal if they fight under this circumstance.

Hu Xiandao glanced at the prince and laughed in an unrestrained manner as he shook his head. "You don’t have to worry about that. Elder Hestia and I dealt a huge blow to their force and they would certainly hesitate to clash with us at this moment. Just focus on recuperating and go help those that need immediate attention." The barbarian said as he patted Prince Dante’s shoulder.

Prince Dante wanted to say a few more words, but Hu Xiandao already turned away, so he could only smile wryly. However, he was also surprised at the man’s words.

From what he could remember, the two were fighting dozens of elders and disciples from the Crimson Sun Sect, but from Hu Xiandao’s tone, it looks like they won even when they were at a disadvantage numerically. He wondered how the two had managed to win in that situation.

’It looks like Elder Hestia’s strength is not ordinary.’ He muttered in his heart as he looked deeply at the gentle-looking woman standing not far away from him. She still had that kind smile she usually has in the wine store.

In the Crimson Sun Sect’s main hall, Jimen Kanding was seated on the head seat. His face was solemn and cold as he watched the group of elders and disciples kneeling before him.

"Speak. What happened right there? Why are you all in such a state?" Jimen Kanding asked in a calm tone. Although he sounded calm, everyone knew that he was angry.

"Se-Sect ma-master, we are about to set out to the place where the young master was last seen, but before we could even go there, we were actually ambushed by the experts of the Heavenly Sword Tower." A disciple said in a stuttering voice. His face was full of fear as he stared at Jimen Kanding.

"Experts from the Heavenly Sword Tower? Are you certain about that?" Jimen Kanding suppressed his fury and asked.

"This... Everyone that joined in the expedition are witnesses. Their robes had the insignia of the Heavenly Sword Tower. I’m sure about this since I was present during the opening ceremony of the Heavenly Sword Tower." The disciple answered immediately.

Jimen Kanding frowned upon hearing that. Now, he was a hundred percent sure that the Heavenly Sword Tower was the one that killed his son. Thinking about it, his eyes flashed coldly.

"Heavenly Sword Tower!" He muttered the name one word at a time, showing everyone how furious he was!

"Give up. Those people are not simple. Even the elders they sent are not normal experts." An aged voice suddenly echoed inside the main hall.

Everyone glanced at the source of the voice and saw a hunched old man slowly walking with his walking stick.

Jimen Kanding’s expression softened when he saw this old man. This was his father and the current grand elder of their sect. He was also the strongest expert of their Crimson Sun Sect!

Grand Elder Jimen occasionally coughed as he moved slowly. Everyone’s heart ached when they saw the state of the old man. They knew that his health was already declining, but they could not do anything about it since no one was able to cure him.

"Father, what do you mean?" Jimen Kanding asked softly.

Grand Elder Jimen stop in his tracks and sighed. This son of his had really disappointed him. He did not even ask about his well-being and was instead asking about something else.

"One of the experts they sent is someone at the late stage of the 9th-rank Saint. Her strength alone is comparable to those at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint. Aside from that, there was also a barbarian at the early stage of the 9th-rank Saint who came with her. Although he is weaker than the woman, this barbarian’s strength is at least on the same level as you." Grand Elder Jimen slowly said. The old man’s words stunned Jimen Kanding.
