Chapter 329: Origin Sect Master

Around this moment, Patrick reached the Origin Sect. The guards allowed him inside without much issue. He asked them whether the Sect Master was here or not.

The guards responded that they didn't know exactly, but the Sect Master should be within the Main Palace.

Patrick quickly headed towards this Main Palace as he wanted to meet with the Sect Master. The information he possessed had to reach the Sect Master's ears quickly.

He had no idea that the guards were spreading the word about his return. It soon reached Hugo Corlett and Cara's ears.

They were slightly surprised to hear about Patrick's sudden return.

However, Hugo Corlett wasn't worried. Even if Patrick had brought a helper or he revealed the truth, he couldn't achieve anything.

Hugo Corlett's prestige was so high in the Origin Sect that even the Sect Master would hesitate to take action against him. He didn't stay idle while Patrick was gone. After grabbing hold of his woman and destroying Patrick mentally, Hugo Corlett focused on his own future.

He added many achievements to his name as he led many successful expeditions. If he remained on this path, he should be able to take over his father's role as Grand Elder with ease.

Thus, someone like Patrick, who had remained in a low-ranked branch of the Origin Sect, couldn't shake his position with false accusations.

Even if Patrick told the truth, Hugo Corlett could simply twist the truth to fit his agenda.

Meanwhile, when Cara heard that Patrick had returned, she had a sneer on her face. She wasn't planning to meet this man who had betrayed her after being transferred to Veninza City.

Before Patrick reached the Main Palace, he met a group of warriors. He recognized a couple of faces from this group.

These warriors belonged to Hugo Corlett's group.

"How dare you return, you trash?!" One of these warriors inquired with a sneer.

Patrick clearly didn't have a good reputation within the Origin Sect right now. This was Hugo Corlett's work.

He wanted Patrick to feel incredibly embarrassed every time he returned to the Main Branch. This would force Patrick to return to Veninza City.

However, what Hugo Corlett failed to expect was Patrick's advancement to the 5 Star Rank. Patrick was overflowing with confidence right now.

"You should get out of my way. I need to meet with Sect Master urgently," He spoke with a cold tone.

Another warrior ahead of Patrick coldly snorted, "Sect Master isn't free to meet you right now."

Patrick spoke with a sneer, "Yeah, like you would know that."

"The fact doesn't change that you can't meet with Sect Master. To meet him, you would need to get past us," Another warrior stepped forward and showed a strong fighting intent.

The entire group was surprised when they saw Patrick smiling in relief, "That's all?"

Before they could understand what Patrick meant, a strong force struck their bodies and tossed them away.

Patrick stepped forward with a wide smile on his face. He had always wanted to deal with these guys like this.

The sensation of wielding Pure Strength was exhilarating. He wanted to stay behind and beat them, but he realized the situation was urgent, and he needed to notify the Sect Master as soon as possible.

The Sect Master was currently seated in his study room, where he was checking out the monthly reports relating to the resources, weapons, and the results of the geniuses in the branches of the Origin Sect.

There was a shortage of resources within the Origin Sect. The various branches of the Origin Sect had reduced their tribute to the Main Branch.

They claimed that there was a shortage of supplies, but the Sect Master knew that most of them were lying. He needed to dispatch some disciples to investigate the Origin Sect branches he was wary about.

He suddenly sensed a large amount of being utilized near his Palace. This was equivalent to a 5 Star Ranked Ardor.

The Sect Master decided to leave his study room and check out this individual who was flaring up his energy like that.

Patrick and the Sect Master met up in the corridors of the Palace.

Patrick immediately kowtowed to the Sect Master and spoke with a respectful tone, "Greetings to the Sect Master."

"Hmm," The Sect Master grunted in response while gazing at Patrick. He was analyzing him with his Spiritual Senses.

He raised his brow when he sensed a stable 5 Star Ardor from Patrick's body.

"You were the one flaring up your Ardor outside the Palace?" He asked with a frown on his face.

"That's correct, Sect Master. But this was because a group of warriors was trying to stop me from meeting you. I merely pushed them aside before entering the Palace," Patrick responded calmly.

"I hope that's indeed the case. So, what brings you in front of me today, Patrick? Surely, it's not to flaunt your cultivation," The Sect Master spoke coldly.

Patrick responded with a chuckle, "How could I even think of that, Sect Master?"

"I've come to inform you of something essential. The Dragon Tiger Palace and the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City are at odds," Patrick spoke with a serious voice.

The Sect Master was startled to hear this information. He asked, "What happened?"

"I received this information from my subordinate just a day ago," Patrick said, echoing what Azaroth had said.

"He mentioned that the Dragon Tiger Palace was sending warriors to destroy the Origin Sect Branch," Patrick spoke seriously.

The Sect Master remained silent for a short period.

"The Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors entered the Origin Sect Branch's territory without consent. They were warned, but they continued to roam in our territory, and then your subordinate gave the order to attack them. This is what happened, right?" The Sect Master asked with a calm tone.

"That's correct," Patrick nodded his head.

"He also has the proof as he had recorded it using a Visual Recording Jade," Patrick added.

"Interesting," The Sect Master spoke with a sneer. He knew that this conflict occurred due to Patrick's subordinate.

There was a better way to deal with this problem. However, he acted in such a way that the Dragon Tiger Palace was compelled to retaliate.

"Who is this subordinate of yours?" The Sect Master wanted to know the name of this disciple.

"It's a local disciple who joined the Origin Sect Branch not long ago. His name is Nudar," Patrick responded.

"I want a complete report about this man in my office by tomorrow morning!" The Sect Master spoke with a commanding aura.

The aura he emitted was so powerful that it easily overwhelmed Patrick's.

Patrick knew that there was a wide difference between him and the Sect Master.

The Origin Sect's sect master was at the peak of the 5 Star Rank. However, he was still only 50 years old.

Given his current level of cultivation and talent, he would only require a couple of years before advancing to the 6 Star Rank.

That would put him on par with the Red Crown Sect's Master.

"I will present you his report as soon as possible, Sect Master," Patrick responded.

The Sect Master nodded his head as he recalled his Aura and spoke, "Very well. I will discuss with the elders what we should do regarding this issue. Be present in the Great Hall an hour later."

"Yes, Sect Master," Patrick spoke a little excitedly.
