The chain waterfall was not just a name originally chosen by Xu Feng to be the name of his sect. The geographical area was one of the factors underlying Xu Feng to take the name of the Chain Waterfall.

The river that Yin Sheng went through led to a group of waterfalls. Rows of cliffs with seven terraced waterfalls that form one chain of waterfalls become the base of the Sect of the chain waterfall in carrying out their sect activities.

More than thirty buildings are neatly arranged around the waterfall. The arrangement starts from the largest building which is also the residence of the Patriarch or Supreme Leader of the Sect located to the right of the waterfall, lined up next to it and to the left of the waterfall are some of the smaller buildings where the elders live. For the residences of the sect members, lined up and arranged neatly surrounded all the residences of the Elders and Patriarchs of the Sect.

No walls nor barriers were used to protect the base of the Chain Waterfall Sect. The high cliffs, as well as the dense area of trees seemed to be a natural barrier wall for anyone who tried to break through and infiltrate the Sect of the Chain Waterfall.

Without the escort of the Sect guards, no one would be able to discover the existence of the Chain Waterfall Sect, either, unless they traced the river and recklessly descended the multilevel waterfall that was over two hundred meters high. That was because Xu Feng, who was a realm of the God Realm, set up a protective formation around the area of the multi-tiered Waterfall Sect. The protective formation would mess up the path and trap any intruders into a flurry of directions at the intruders attempting to break through into the multilevel Waterfall Sect.

Hence... Although it was only a four-star Sect, the Chain Waterfall Sect could develop amidst the developmental competition of the Sects during its lead by Xu Feng. However the development of the tiered Waterfall Sect could not go too well after the leadership was taken over by Xu Shaoqing while Xu Feng did a closed-door training to try to break through the boundaries of the realm of the God Realm.

Sect Waterfall chain rely on protection services and sell some natural commodities that can be obtained from around aur a chain plunge. During Xu Feng's leadership, Xu Feng had managed to recruit strong Cultivators as well as educate the younger generation in order to develop quickly. With such qualified members, Xu Feng could produce a lot of gold coffers to cover the operational costs of the Chain Waterfall Sect only from protection services. The sale of available natural commodities could also be utilized by Xu Feng to develop the sect into a more established one.

But when Xu Shaoqing took over, many Cultivators either chose to leave the sect or instead fell in their missions. For those who chose to leave the Sect, they reasoned that Xu Shaoqing was not strong enough to serve as the number one leader in the Chain Water Sect.

Such a thing was certainly not without reason, Xu Shaoqing's cultivation had indeed stalled in the King Realm realm since ten years ago. Though Xu Shaoqing who as the son of the Patriarch of the sect, got an overflow of more resources than the others. It was such a thing that caused a lot of jealousy and ended up making many Cultivators who had been in the realm of the King Realm leave the Sect of the Chain Waterfall.

Such a condition made Xu Shaoqing have to be extra brain-twisting. Left behind were the King Realm realm Cultivators, while the younger generations were also not ready to carry out such a heavy mission, either, making the Waterfall Sect a chain only dared to take on a series of small-scale protection missions - which in fact the rewards of such protection services were not too great.

The reduced income from the services made Xu Shaoqing change the budget planning of the sect. The proceeds from the sale of natural commodities that were once used entirely for the development of the sect, must now be diverted to help cover the operational costs of the Chain Waterfall Sect.

"Patriarch... The sect guard caught a message-capturing bird." One of the Sect Elders of the Chain Waterfall named Bei Zing gave a report to his leader who was busy taking care of the documents on the table.

"Do you know what it is?" Xu Shaoqing paid little heed to the report. He was still struggling with all the documents in front of him. Trying to recalculate all existing income and expenses so as to determine the next step.

"Just finish as usual..." Xu Shaoqing shook his right hand. Giving permission to Bei Zing to do what he used to do.

"Sorry Patriarch... But this letter carries a message that is beyond my authority..."

After hearing Bei Zing's words, only then did Xu Shaoqing turn his gaze towards Bei Zing. His hand greeted the letter given by Bei Zing.

Squeezed... That was what Xu Shaoqing directly did to the letter. Both of his eyeballs were reddened and the veins on his head came out. If not for being aware of himself being inside his study, perhaps Xu Shaoqing had already let out quite a great aura of Qi due to restraining anger.

"Patriarch?" Bei Zing knew the emotional state of his sect head, and he was also forced to hold back his emotions when he read the letter for the first time.

"Sekte Hill diamond is really arrogant this time... They consider our sect to be just a merchandise in the market that can be traded at will." Xu Shaoqing stared intently ahead and cupped his hands under his chin. Thinking of the best way out he must take from the additional problems that already exist.

"Give them a reply. If they want to buy and master this waterfall. Then they should buy with their blood!" Xu Shaoqing.

"But Patriarch? If a fight between sects happens..."

"Are they going to be quiet if we refuse to sell to them? Better to say rejection right from the beginning and be prepared, than to delay the time."

"Well..." Bei Zing let out a long sigh, what his sect master said was indeed true. The Diamond Hill Sect would definitely do everything if it wanted something already.

"Tell the Sect guards to prepare and increase security. We still don't know what's going to happen in the future. We can only get ready to welcome the worst possibility now!" Xu Shaoqing's orders to Bei Zing were immediately confirmed by Bei Zing. Bei Zing immediately withdrew and did as ordered by the sect head just now.

"Well... Fathering... Why are you giving such a difficult position, until when are you going to do such a closed-door exercise?" Xu Shaoqing laid his back on the back of the chair, he regretted having received a request from his father to continue taking care of the Chain Water Sect. He still did not know that Xu Feng had come out of his closed-door training and was relaxing in his private residence.
