Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 1481: 1481: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 1481: Chapter 1481: Seeking Revenge

“Have you heard? The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s Inspector Jex Kensington was killed in Swimming City! Rumor has it, the murderer is the Seaside’s Five Arhats!”

“The Divine Dragon Tripod appeared in Swimming City, drawing various major forces from across the land to vie for it. As the original possessor of the Divine Dragon Tripod, conflicts between the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and the West Sea are inevitable. Who would have thought, that the prestigious Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, an organization that once ruled the world, has fallen to such a state!”

“Not long ago, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance elected a new Holy Lord. After four years, they finally sent out an inspector to patrol, but no one anticipated that such a high-profile treasure hunt, meant to showcase the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s authority, would turn into disgrace!”

Swimming City.

Inside the Hall of Heroes.

Various martial arts experts gathered, discussing major events in the martial arts world.

Just a few hours ago, an explosion occurred at the City Lord’s Mansion, and the abduction of Hagan Marsh was the talk of the town.

Once the news of Jex Kensington’s murder spread, the City Lord’s Mansion incident seemed insignificant in comparison.

Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!

Once the ruler of the realm!

And the murderer is none other than the now-thriving West Sea!

“The West Sea, usually so low-key, chose to eliminate Jex Kensington outright. Is this a challenge to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s authority?”

“Hard to say. The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance has been without a Holy Lord for four years. Internally, it is in shambles, and externally, it is deserted by allies. Although a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, who can guarantee that the hidden West Sea Divine Buddha isn’t stronger than expected?”

“Let’s see how the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance responds! If they mishandle this, their dominant position might be at risk.”

The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance has elected a new Holy Lord, and it is rumored the old Holy Lord had long died violently.

But in the martial arts world, information is always well-informed.

There are rumors that the Holy Lord turned into the leader of the Seven Clouds Academy, Mad Dragon, and was slain by the North Sea’s prince-consort in Star City.

It is precisely because of this that the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance dared to elect a new Holy Lord.

The Hall of Heroes, the most luxurious and prestigious restaurant in Swimming City.

Anyone who can come here is renowned in the martial arts world.

Behind each of them stands a sect or a major force.

Thus, they are very sensitive to the martial arts power structure.

And Seaside’s Five Arhats is sitting inside the Hall of Heroes.

Only wearing a suit and a fedora, drawing no attention.

A monk in a suit, out of sheer necessity.

He must find a way to escape Swimming City!

The Divine Buddha is right outside the city!

Five Arhats did not kill anyone, nor did he even utter harsh words.

But he indeed entered the estate where the inspector of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance resided.

The conversations between the two even had some innuendo or threats.

But without orders from the West Sea Divine Buddha, how could Five Arhats dare to kill an inspector?

It would be no less than a declaration of war!

Now.

He’s caught in a dilemma.

To deny it would make the West Sea seem cowardly, afraid of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s might.

This is completely against the West Sea Divine Buddha’s original intention of rivaling the world.

It would not only taint the West Sea’s reputation but also disgrace the West Sea Divine Buddha.

Then he’d only be left to be ridiculed.

But if he admits it!

He didn’t kill anyone, so why should he bear the blame?

Thḭ𝙨 𝘤hⱥp†𝑒r 𝖎𝐬 pՕ𝗌ṯɛḍ b𝑦 𝓀ı𝖙𝘦𝘯𝟬𝙫ꬲ𝖑

And this blame is heavy!

The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance has presented a purple-gold kasaya from the Seven Star Arhat as evidence, claiming this as proof that the West Sea killed Jex Kensington.

Indisputable!

The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance will undoubtedly take strong measures during such a critical time!

By then, there might be a fierce battle between the West Sea and the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!

After much contemplation, Five Arhats slapped ten Swimming City Currency notes on the table and quickly left the Hall of Heroes, heading towards the city gate.

After the North Sea’s retreat, to stabilize the morale of the army, the City Lord’s Mansion ordered the city gate to be opened.

Five Arhats decided to seek the West Sea Divine Buddha to strategize.

…

City Lord’s Mansion.

Ian Jorden was handling affairs with a headache when a guard burst in and whispered in his ear.

“Is it accurate?”

After hearing the news, his expression was animated, and he couldn’t help but grab the wall for support, fearing he might fall.

“Absolutely!”

The guard responded solemnly.

“Great!” Ian Jorden put down his affairs and hurriedly ran to the backyard, pushing open a door. “You were right, the Holy Lord is in Swimming City! A Golden Dragon Swallowing the Sun flag is planted on the Young Family’s gate!”

Crack!

The teacup fell to the floor and shattered.

Isabella Warm stood up, excited to leave, but stood her ground and returned to her seat.

Mumbling to herself, “I was right, he’s here, he really is! But… why didn’t he tell me his whereabouts during our last call?”

“Are you going to the Young Family?” Ian Jorden’s voice was slightly choked.

“Wait… let’s wait a bit.” Isabella Warm held her head, tears dropping onto the table with a ‘plop’.

…

In the resplendent palace.

A queen sat on the dragon chair, laughing incessantly.

“Swimming City? Really in Swimming City? Great! I heard that bitch is in Swimming City. Little sister of the queen!” The woman’s expression was cold, with both joy and anger in her eyes!

“Queen! I’m here!” The little sister of the queen knelt on one knee, awaiting instructions.

“Go! Flatten Swimming City for me, kill that bitch, and bring back the Holy Lord!” The woman flicked her sleeves sharply, then smiled bitterly, “Tell the Holy Lord, I’m waiting for him, Grace River. But, only in this life. The sins I’ve committed for him in this life, I fear I won’t be qualified to be human in the next.”

“Understood!” The little sister of the queen stood up, frowning.

Finally, the words ‘dog of a man’ didn’t escape her lips.

…

Swimming City, Rat Town.

Inside a shop that had already closed.

A white-haired man sat.

In front of him, there was a Taoist.

The white-haired man was shirtless, and his face looked somewhat pale, a sign of injury.

“Buddha, you underestimated Everton Davenport.”

The East Sea witch Taoist, holding a horsetail whisk, chuckled, “If I were to kill you right now, wouldn’t the East Sea have one less rival?”

“You won’t kill me.” The West Sea Divine Buddha raised his eyelids, wearily looking at the East Sea witch Taoist, “Everton Davenport is indeed strong. I never expected this old rascal to hide his strength so deeply!”

“How strong?” The East Sea witch Taoist seemed very interested.

“In terms of sheer martial might, he doesn’t surpass me. But while fighting Everton Davenport, that group of heavy cavalry by his side charged so unpredictably.” The West Sea Divine Buddha pointed at his own chest, “Almost met my end at the North Sea camp.”

“That formidable?”

The East Sea witch Taoist was somewhat incredulous.

“Those cavalry are incredibly fierce, and my Monk Soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Though I severely injured Everton Davenport, I, too, was left gravely wounded.” The West Sea Divine Buddha closed his eyes again.

“Master!”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Five Arhats rushed in, kneeling and speaking respectfully, “Five Arhats greet their Master!”

“Stand up.” The West Sea Divine Buddha nodded, then asked, “Did you kill Jex Kensington? Making enemies with the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance at this time is not wise.”

There was the previous battle with the North Sea, which left the Buddha Hall completely destroyed.

Then there was the West Sea Divine Buddha’s night raid on the army camp, resulting in mutual destruction.

To offend the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance now is indeed unwise.

“Master, it wasn’t me.” Five Arhats showed a pained expression.

The scapegoat!

Truly aggrieved.

“It seems so! I’ve heard that the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance is sending people for revenge! They’re already on the way, and they’ll be here soon!”

“The West Sea Divine Buddha is in Rat Town? Could it be to support Five Arhats?”

“Could it be a mistake!”

The sounds of noisy footsteps and whispers outside all reached the ears of the three.

“What’s happening!”

The West Sea Divine Buddha looked at Five Arhats, angrily scolding, “Were you followed?”
