The Great Ruler Cultivator
Ignite War?!

"What did you say. I've also been infuriated by Shen Mong's father's behavior! he was no different from Shen Kang. They are both really descendants of the kepa*at!" shen Li said refuting his father's words in an annoyed tone.

"Then what are we going to do? don't we need a plan?" Jia Ru asked interjected the annoyance of her best friend and Shen Li.

"That's very true what you said Jia Ru. We must need a mature plan to avenge them!" Reply Shen Qi.

Meanwhile, Shen Li seemed to smile and said, "Father and uncle, be calm, I have a plan. And don't worry, this will definitely work." Shen Li said confidently.

"Bahh! it would be useless if I would refute your words Li'er, however you are more astute than father" replied his father in a condescending tone to himself.

"As for Shen Qi, is this the attitude that a Patriarch shows? ahaha! Be a little excited so that you are not surpassed by your son" Jia Ru said encouraging Shen Qi, but she also mocked her best friend a little.

"Hehh, how do you know how I feel?! because all you have in mind is to eat and fight" Shen Qi said in reply to Jia Ru's taunts.

Jia Ru who heard that only snorted in annoyance when she knew Shen Qi was replying to her ridicule.

While Shen Li who was looking at the behavior of the two people was just chuckling enjoying the spectacle. For a moment they forget about their anger, this is better than having to be constantly angry, so that later it could be a misstep.

"Have you father, uncle, you are like little children. Now let's go to the dining room following mom and Jia Yu" Shen Li said of the two middle-aged men's bickering.

After that, Shen Li and his father and uncle went to the dining room because the day had changed. Shen Li also made 2 clones of himself to search for information on both the Dragon Sect and the Shen Mong Residence. Not forgetting before that, Shen Li eliminated the array he had made earlier.

ctick!!

There were no servants in this Patriarch residence, as it was indeed a special request from Shen Qi for his family to calm down. He only assigned a few Shen Clan disciples to guard outside the residence, and would not allow entry if there was nothing important.

After arriving at the dining room, the food that Jia Yu had already cooked was already widely available at the dinner table.Tonight they held a small party to celebrate Shen Li's return and Yui Ran Qui's recovery.

Dragon Sect

The night atmosphere in the dragon sect this time was not as usual which was calm and peaceful. Tonight, the scene was gripping and tense with the anger of Patriarch Huo Li, who found his son battered by someone unknown.

"Huo Shan?! do you really not know who has beaten you to the brink?" huo Li asked his son.

"I really don't know dad. Because that person was wearing a robe so I couldn't see his face" Huo Shan replied. "But it seems Feing Ling knows who that person is, because that person is staying at the Vermillion inn" he continued.

"Vermillion Inn? ahaha! It seems like it will be interesting, I better just meet that coward Hei Ma, he does not deserve the title of Patriarch because it is too timid" Huo Li said as he laughed cunningly.

Huo Shan who saw his father was silent, because after all he was still very upset thinking about who the people who had beaten him.

"I will go to the Vermillion sect right now, you rest" Patriarch Huo Li said then disappeared.

Vermillion Sect

In front of the entrance gate of the Vermillion sect, there suddenly appeared a short-bearded middle-aged man shocking all the Vermillion sect disciples who were on guard the night.

That man was none other than Huo Li.

"Hail Patriarch Huo Li, is there any need for the Patriarch to come here at night like this?!" said one of the Vermillion sect disciples respectfully.

"Don't talk anymore, take me to your Patriarch!. I have important business" Huo Li said in a haughty tone.

"Well, Patriarch, please follow me." said one disciple and headed towards the residence of Patriarch Hei Ma.

Arriving in front of the Patriarch's residence, the disciple then told the disciple guarding the residence that the Dragon Sect's Patriarch had come to meet. After that, the disciple then left first to retreat, not forgetting to salute first to Patriarch Huo Li.

Geck!

Geck!

Geck!

"What's wrong?" Ask the patriarch Hei Ma.

"I apologize for interrupting your break time Patriarch, the servant came here to tell you that Patriarch Huo Li of the Dragon Sect came to visit" said the disciple politely with a cupped hand.

"All right, get him in." Reply Patriarch Hei Ma.

After that, the disciple brought in Patriarch Huo Li according to Patriarch Hei Ma's orders.

"I'll excuse the Patriarch" said the disciple then hurried to retreat.

"Thank you" said Patriarch Hei Ma raising his right hand to chest level.

"Then, what business are you here for?" ask Hey Ma in a flat tone.

"Do you let a guest stand at the door? how disrespectful" Huo Li replied in contempt.

"Bahh! come inside! you can be alone, right?" hei Ma said then headed into the residence.

"Curtain! if only I didn't have anything to do with you, I would have killed you by now!" Inner Huo Li. He then immediately followed Hei Ma who had entered first.

Arriving inside, the servants served small meals with their drinks.

"Then? what's there to do?" Hei Ma's question was not pleasantries.

Huo Li, who was sipping his drink, had to stop his activities.

"Curtain! All right, I'm not gonna mince words anymore. Do you have any idea who hit my son at your inn this morning?" Ask Huo Li.

Hei Ma who heard that was slightly surprised by Huo Li's question.

"What do you need with him?" ask Hey Ma in a flat tone.

Huo Li who heard the reply from Hei Ma revealed his smile, "It seems like you know it, tell me or I will destroy your sect?! because you dared to hide the man who had beaten my son!" he said with a little high tone.

"Curtain!! I'm not afraid of your threats. And just so you know, you will never be able to defeat master Jin. Even if there are 10 people like you, I'm sure you still can't beat him!" reply Hey Ma with a firm tone.

"Did you underestimate me?!" Said Huo Li who began to be provoked by his emotions. "I am not afraid at all of that person called Jin, who would dare to challenge my sect, the Dragon Sect." he continued in an arrogant tone.

"As much as you want to believe it or not, I'm just giving you this warning while I'm being kind" Hei Ma said.

"Do you want to seek your death again? Don't you remember how you almost died when you used to face off against Clan Patriarch Shen?" continue Hey Ma.

"You no longer need to worry about me, because I already have a strong support right now" Huo Li replied with a sly and greedy smile.

"Do you think that by utilizing people from within the Shen Clan, you can avenge and defeat master Jin together? I heard the wind that there would be a rebellion within the Shen Clan, and it seemed to be true" Hei Ma said.

"I also know that you are the mastermind behind the plot of the rebellion, right? I know that you want to pit the people of the Shen Clan for the sake of avenging your revenge on Patriarch Shen Qi" Hei Ma said guessing.

"Curtain! as always, you talk a lot!" Reply Huo Li who then left the residence without paying the slightest respect.

"I don't think you've become like this Huo Li, when we used to be best friends, but you're instead fed on your greedy nature by wanting to snatch Patriarch Shen Qi's wife" Hei Ma muttered.

"What would your ancestors say my best friend? I make sure they will be very disappointed with this behavior of yours, they left the Dragon Sect to maintain peace in this Dao empire. But you instead want to ignite the flames of war with the strongest Clan that even the imperial side is reluctant to fight against the Shen Clan. And I hope that Mr. Jin will not go too far in facing you" continued muttering with worry if something happens to his best friend.

Although now it seems that the two of them have different paths, but Hei Ma's sense of friendship is not lost in the slightest.
