Chapter 192: Ch 192: Senior Longevity
After just two days, the sect master called Rein again and informed him that the senior longevity had agreed to meet with him. The process went very smoothly and Rein was a little bit surprised by it as he had expected the ancient expert to not meet with him so easily.
Seeing Rien's surprised expression the sect master told him something which was probably the reason why he agreed to meet him so easily. He wanted to not only meet with Rein but also with Lu Shi. It turned out that senior longevity was familiar with True God Huanlong and had a friendly relationship.
So he wanted to meet with the person who had managed to complete his trials and had also managed to become his successor.
Rein was fine with it as even in the most dire situation, he would be able to protect Lu Shi with the rain stones. So he was fine with taking some risks. Then it was decided that Rein would be going to senior longevity after three days. Then Rein left the sect master's chamber and went to tell Lu Shi about her participating in the meeting with this senior Longevity.
...
After three days, Rein and Lu Shi left their house together to meet up with senior longevity. First they went to the sect master's house to meet with him and from there he took them to a secret area under the sect using a hidden path.
Even though this area was present under the sect, it almost looked like the outside world. It was definitely not a regular area but a secret realm. The sect master told Rein that this was a secret realm that the first master of the Divine Scale Pavillion had created and this was one of the core secrets of the sect. Only a few very loyal people were aware of this area and were allowed to come here.
Rein had done a massive service for the sect by leading the team with major success. And after thoroughly checking his background, they were unable to find any faults. The sect master had even used a very precious fate related item to make sure that Rein had no bad intention toward the sect and only then the decision to bring Rein here was made.
As for Lu Shi, her coming to this place was not supported by most as she had not been in the sect for long and she also had history with a different sect. But as senior longevity was asking for her presence and seeing that she had not done anything suspicious after coming to the sect, after many debates finally she was also allowed to come here.
Then the sect master brought them to a small waterfall. Beside the waterfall there was a small hut made of mud. In front of the hut, a very old and frail looking man was lying on a hanging chair. He was the ancient expert who had managed to live through various eras.
He had noticed the sect master and his group's presence as soon as they came here. Then he looked at them with bright eyes that did not look like an old man's and the sect master bowed his head in greeting. Rein and Lu Shi did the same.
The old man did not speak anything and just looked at Lu Shi with very high intensity. Then he nodded his head in understanding and spoke up in a very relieved tone.
"So, you really have managed to get the legacy from master Huanlong. I thought that his legacy would be completely lost with his death but it turned out that he had another path ready to not let his lineage die. That is good. Very good. I thought that I would never be able to take my revenge on him for humiliating me just because he was a little stronger.
And now I can finally vent all my anger on his successor. This is really great."
After saying this much he immediately attacked. This attack was no where as strong as the attack that a powerhouse of his rank would use as Longevity actually wanted to cripple Lu Shi and then he wanted to torture her to his heart's content. He had several long years of anger to vent.
Even though his attack was not very powerful, it was extremely fast and was worthy of his rank of being a true god. So the sect master was unable to react on time. But as soon as Rein had seen this old man he did not like his vibes. So he was very cautious. That was why Rein was able to react almost immediately.
He did not try to save Lu Shi though and instead launched an attack on senior Longevity. That was because Rein had no reason to protect Lu Shi from an attack of this level. Instead now that this powerhouse had turned out to be his enemy, Rein wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
As soon as the attack was about to hit Lu Shi, a circular barrier appeared around her and protect her from it. If Longevity had used all his powers he might have been able to break through this barrier but fortunately he did not do that and his attack was repelled. He was also not ready for Rein to attack him and so he was unable to dodge or defend against this sudden attack.
Even though Rein had not used the rain stone he had with him, in his anger he had still pushed his Furnace Body skill to over his limit. So the power behind Rein's attack was astonishing and it pushed the ancient expert away.
Only then the sect master came to his senses and his face turned red in anger. This ungrateful bastard was trying to harm his sect's future home after using it as his vacation home for so long. This was unacceptable. The dignity of the Divine Scale Pavillion could not be tarnished by an old fossil this easily.
So the sect master took out a pill and ate it. Immediately his body was filled with endless power. Then the whole body of the sect master turned into a golden violet colour as he activated his cultivation technique and his Steel Scale skill. Then he also attacked senior Longevity.
After resting for hundreds of years, even though Longevity had managed to gain most of his strength back, he was still not at his peak and even in his peak he was not as strong as other True Gods. So in front of the sect master who was currently displaying the strength of a pseudo True God, he was unable to last very long.
With this display of strength from the head master, Rein did not need to use his other trump cards. He assisted the sect master from a distance by distracting Longevity with his occasional well placed attacks. Before attacking the sect master had informed the sect about this betrayal so after some time, quite a few elders who were allowed to come here showed up.
But none of these elders were a match for Longevity, so why were they even here. Soon that became clear when the elder standing in the middle took out a small mirror that was giving off a frightening aura. Then the elders joined forces to activate the mirror and a bright light shone on the battling pair.
The effect of that was immediate. The strength of the sect master again rose by a little bit but on the other hand Longevity's movements became sluggish. The sect master was already in an advantageous position and after this, he soon defeated the weakened Longevity. Then he took the mirror like artifact and activated it himself and trapped Longevity inside it.
Now what was going to happen with this ancient expert.
