Chapter 307 Gold Wild Lion
"Who? Who? Who the hell destroyed my Jinwu Sect? Ahhh- Ahhh-!"
At dusk, Jinwu City was filled with endless emptiness and deathly quietness. The fragmentary setting sun was hanged over the mountains, shedding its light on the ruins of Jinwu Sect and on the furious old man.
Gold Wild Lion, the Supreme Elder of Jin Family, had come back. However, the prosperous and majestic Jinwu Sect had gone. He could only see the ruins and piles of bodies.
Gold Wild Lion was golden-haired like a lion. He had been driven mad in the cold wind at the dusk. He looked like a real wild lion.
He was savage, horrible and crazy.
Savage and horrible as he was, he couldn't change the extermination of Jinwu Sect. He just wanted to know who had done this to Jinwu Sect.
In Semi-Ancient Martial World, apart from the three major sects, no force could destroy Jinwu Sect in such a short time. But he knew it couldn't be them. He had just cooperated with their masters to finish a significant mission.
It was his absence from Jinwu Sect that had got it destroyed. It might be a punishment to him.
If it was not the three major sects, then who? Which force else in Semi-Ancient Martial World could destroy Jinwu Sect in that way?
"Amitabha!" recited someone from outside of the ruins at the moment.
Gold Wild Lion turned around immediately looking at outside with his lion-like big eyes. The next second, he disappeared into the void.
At the outside, a one-armed scrawny monk and a one-armed young man were standing. They were no others but Monk Kuye and Jin Yang, the young master of Jinwu Sect.
During Little Monster's killing, Kuye had saved Jin Yang.
"Master Kuye? It's you?" Of course, Gold Wild Lion knew Kuye. Soon, he recognized Jin Yang. He became overjoyed to see the survivor of Jinwu Sect, especially, the successor of the sect.
Jin Yang also saw Gold Wild Lion. He was so emotional that he had a tremble. He then ran towards Gold Wild Lion and knelt down before him, "Great-grandfather, you finally came back. Jinwu Sect has been destroyed. My father has died, so has everyone else. They've suffered a lot, you must avenge their death. Kill Qin Hao. Cut him into pieces."
"Qin Hao? It's Qin Hao who has destroyed Jinwu Sect?" shouted Gold Wild Lion. He grabbed Jin Yang to stand up.
"Yes, great-grandfather. It's Qin Hao. The animal and the shameless Qin Hao." answered Jin Yang in anger.
"Mm, Yang'er, your hand..." Gold Wild Lion found Jin Yang was one-armed. He was shocked a lot.
Looking at his remaining arm, Jin Yang felt more intense hatred. He said while grinding his teeth, "Qin Hao the shameless asshole has done this to me. He also did this to my father and killed him. The same as Master Kuye, he has lost one arm from Qin Hao's mean method."
"Master has lost one arm too?" Gold Wild Lion looked unbelievably at Kuye. He knew Kuye's strength. Powerful as he was, he had to call Kuye "master". Those who could let Gold Wild Lion behave in such a polite way must not be weak. How could Kuye lose his arm so easily? But the fact shocked him a lot.
One of Kuye's sleeves was empty.
Gold Wild Lion was stunned. What a strong figure Qin Hao was? Why hadn't he heard of the name in Semi-Ancient Martial World?
Jin Yang had only told Jin Muyun about Qin Hao. He had no need to bother the Supreme Elder for such a trifle. In addition, Gold Wild Lion had left Gold Wild Lion for his mission recently. So he didn't know about Qin Hao at all.
"Master, who's Qin Hao?" Gold Wild Lion left Jin Yang and walked to ask Kuye while grinding his teeth.
Monk Kuye sighed, "Alas, he's just a young man under twenty from the urban world."
"What? From the urban world? Under twenty?" Gold Wild Lion opened his eyes wildly. Luckily, it was from Kuye, or, given his temper, he would have already slapped him. Was it a joke? Was he making a fool of him?
Talking of Martial Cultivators from the urban world, Jinwu Sect could simply send a Spirit Stage master to kill a bunch of them. They had destroyed Jinwu Sect? What a ridiculous joke!
The funnier thing was the one had destroyed Jinwu Sect was a young man under twenty.
Even if he was extraordinarily gifted and had started to cultivate when he was in his mother's belly, it would be badass enough for him, considering the poor environment in the urban world, to enter the beginning period of the Perfection Stage.
Even in Semi-Ancient Martial World, people had only heard of the most badass one had merely entered Peak of Perfection Stage under twenty. The one hadn't made it to Spirit Stage, let alone Void Stage.
Perhaps, Qin Hao had some high-level masters to help him.
Thinking of it, Gold Wild Lion asked, "Master, did Qin Hao have some high-level masters to help him?"
Kuye shook his head, "No high-level masters have helped him. But he carried a powerful Spirit Beast with him. When fighting with masters under Void Stage, it's unstoppable. Besides, he had someone accompanied him. But they're all Martial Cultivators in Perfection Stage."
"So, you're saying that those who have destroyed Jinwu Sect were just Qin Hao and his Spirit Beast?"
"Yes."
"What's the stage of that guy?"
"Kong Ming once said that he found Qin Hao was at the early period of the Void Stage, but he failed to know his real fighting capability."
"Kong Ming was there?" Gold Wild Lion was stunned.
"It's said that he was among those who were watching."
Hearing the answer, Gold Wild Lion's eyes flashed with cold anger, "Kong Ming the asshole, how could he stay out of this and watch. Damn!"
Had Kong Ming helped Jinwu Sect, it wouldn't have been destroyed so completely. However, Gold Wild Lion neglected why should Kong Ming do that? He didn't have a close relationship with Jinwu Sect, why would he provoke such a freak as Qin Hao?
If he had been Kong Ming, he might not have helped either.
The reason Kuye had helped was Jinwu Sect had once helped him. Even so, he had only made it save Jin Yang, leaving others to be slaughtered by Little Monster.
"Benefactor Gold Wild Lion, it's not on Kong Ming. Qin Hao's power was so freaky. Had it been me, I might not have defeated him without exhausting all my strength.
Kuye's words shocked Gold Wild Lion again. He still didn't believe it was true. Was the young man under twenty really that strong?
Even if he was a freak and had entered the early period of the Void Stage, it was just a piece of cake for Gold Wild Lion to kill him.
"Master, save the kind words for our enemy. Yang'er has just said that, you both lost arms due to Qin Hao's mean method. I believe if you still have your arm, you'll kill him easily. It's time for us to avenge what we've lost. Let's find him and cut him and all his friends and relatives into pieces. Thus, my hatred will be erased." said Gold Wild Lion. His eyes were shedding a light of killing and hatred.
"Amitabha, Sadhu, Sadhu. Benefactor, we believe in karma. The "effect" of today is the result of the "cause" sowed in the past. I've saved Young Master Jin, and now I should go back."
Monk Kuye's words surprised Gold Wild Lion. He looked at Kuye discontentedly, "Master, you're the famous Master Kuye, the No.1 in the urban world. But now you want to withdraw? Are you terrified by that young guy?"
"The title of 'No.1 in Urban World' is just a title. I don't want it. The reason I choose to withdraw is I don't want to incur the 'effect' in the future by sowing the 'cause' for Crouching-Dragon Temple."
Kuye's words made Gold Wild Lion understand. Obviously, the reason Kuye refused him was he was afraid that Crouching-Dragon Temple would end like Jinwu Sect if he provoked Qin Hao.
Kuye himself was not afraid to die. But how could he get Crouching-Dragon Temple involved? That was the reason he hadn't stopped Little Monster from destroying Jinwu Sect after he had saved Jin Yang. Otherwise, considering his strength, he could have stopped Little Monster easily.
"Master, are you afraid of Qin Hao's revenge? You don't have to worry about it. As long as you cooperate with me, we'll kill him. How can he avenge as a dead man? Don't you even have the confidence to kill him through our joint power?" From Gold Wild Lion tone, one could read a little disdain for Kuye's cowardice.
Kuye was unmoved. He shook his head and said, "Benefactor, please forgive me. My connection with Jin Family ends today. From now on, I'll never come to Semi-Ancient Martial World. Amitabha." After finishing the words, Kuye flew with the winds and disappeared in the void at once.
"Hum, a cowardly damn monk, as timid as a mouse." Gold Wild Lion was badly annoyed, but he could do nothing to help with that.
"Great-grandfather, Master Kuye has gone. What about us?" asked Jin Yang worriedly.
"Hum, without him, do you think I, your great-grandfather, won't kill that Qin Hao? I'm in late period of Void Stage. Is it just a joke?"
"Great-grandfather will kill Qin Hao the asshole." shouted Jin Yang while waving his fist.
"Good, now let's find Qin Hao. After I killed him, we'll rebuild Jinwu Sect. Yang'er, from now on, you're the new Sect Leader of Jinwu Sect. As long as you and I are alive, Jinwu Sect won't be over. It'll be handed down forever." Gold Wild Lion's powerful voice sounded clear in the sky, every word in which was like the thunder. It was spread to every corner of Jinwu City. Those who were still staying at the city, who were loyal to Jinwu Sect, felt greatly confident. The strongest master of Jinwu Sect had come back.
At the same time, those who were conspiring to rob Jinwu Sect's territory were deterred. With the "old monster" of Jinwu Sect, who dared to act recklessly? No one dared to provoke an "old monster" in late period of Void Stage.
Summoned by Gold Wild Lion, Outer Disciples of Jinwu Sect gathered. Outer Disciples were those who were recruited from other sects. They were not real disciples of Jinwu Sect, so they didn't live in Jinwu Sect. Thus, they had been spared from the killing. Now they were the major force of Jinwu Sect. They had been appointed as Inner Disciples, real disciples of Jinwu Sect. They would assist the new Sect Leader Jin Yang.
With the efforts of these Outer Disciples, they found Qin Hao and others.
Then, Gold Wild Lion, while carrying his extreme anger, started his confident chase.
Qin Hao wouldn't have expected that after his tough battle with the Sect Leader of Jinwu Sect, a much more dangerous battle was waiting for him.
