Chapter 1877: Chapter 1877: Mysterious Buddha Sect, Cade Simpson!
In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, ’Dragon Warriors’ have always been a very special existence.
Because behind the birth of every ’Dragon Warrior’, there is the shadow of a Divine Dragon with seven claws or more.
Each Divine Dragon with seven claws or more can only cultivate one ’Dragon Warrior’ in their lifetime!
This is why, typically, behind every Dragon Warrior stands a Divine Dragon with seven claws or more.
Behind a seven-clawed Dragon Warrior is a seven-clawed Divine Dragon.
Behind an eight-clawed Dragon Warrior is an eight-clawed Divine Dragon.
Behind a nine-clawed Dragon Warrior is an eight-clawed Divine Dragon.
In the long history of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, many seven-clawed Dragon Warriors have appeared, and even some eight-clawed Dragon Warriors.
Once, someone was killed by a seven-clawed Divine Dragon in revenge for killing a seven-clawed Dragon Warrior!
Once, someone was killed by an eight-clawed Divine Dragon in revenge for killing the close relative of an eight-clawed Dragon Warrior!
There was also someone who destroyed the sect where an eight-clawed Dragon Warrior belonged, but did not harm the Dragon Warrior or his close relatives, and even though they alarmed the eight-clawed Divine Dragon, they did not suffer retribution.
Moreover, there was someone who merely stole a super sacred weapon from a Dragon Warrior and did not suffer revenge from the Divine Dragon behind him.
The events in history illustrate one issue clearly:
Divine Dragons with seven claws or more have their limits in protecting Dragon Warriors!
This is why, when the powerful Upper Domain figure arrived at the Mansion of Azure Clouds intending to seize the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, upon seeing Wyatt Barnes transform into a ’Dragon Warrior’, they stopped in time and did not kill Wyatt Barnes.
"Damn it! Why is that kid specifically a ’nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’? Even if he were just a ’seven-clawed Dragon Warrior’, killing him wouldn’t matter, and I, Cade Simpson, am not afraid of those few seven-clawed Divine Dragons in the Upper Domain Dragonsmith Clan!"
After deceiving Wyatt Barnes of the Demon Sealing Monument and flying out, ready to start a massacre at the Mansion of Azure Clouds, the middle-aged man ’Cade Simpson’ muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.
Listening to his words, it seemed as though he dared to kill a seven-clawed Dragon Warrior and wasn’t afraid of a seven-clawed Divine Dragon!
"In the current Martial Dao Sacred Land, there isn’t even an eight-clawed Divine Dragon, so how could there be a nine-clawed Divine Dragon? It seems Wyatt Barnes’s ability to transform into a ’nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’ is due to inheriting the legacy left long ago by the nine-clawed Divine Dragon... that nine-clawed Divine Dragon must have ascended to the All-Heavens Plane with incredible power!"
Cade Simpson was uncertain whether that nine-clawed Divine Dragon was watching over Wyatt Barnes, but he didn’t dare to gamble.
If he lost the gamble, he would undoubtedly die!
After all, even a nine-clawed Divine Dragon can only bestow the ability to transform into a dragon onto one individual in their lifetime.
It is impossible that the nine-clawed Divine Dragon doesn’t value Wyatt Barnes.
This is why he didn’t kill Wyatt Barnes or the relatives close to Wyatt Barnes.
Naturally, he felt very stifled by this!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a squad of black-armored guards appeared within Cade Simpson’s line of sight, causing his eyes to suddenly light up.
"Who goes there?!"
When Cade Simpson saw this patrolling squad of black-armored guards, they also discovered him, shouted sternly, and then surrounded him.
However, they quickly realized:
With a mere lift of his hand, the middle-aged man not far away clasped his five fingers together, causing the air around them to suddenly compress, rendering them immobile.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
Along with the explosive sounds, the bodies of the squad of black-armored guards burst open one after another, leaving only the rain of blood in the sky.
After killing the squad of black-armored guards, Cade Simpson felt much more at ease.
"This is just the beginning!"
Cade Simpson narrowed his squinting eyes, revealing an evil smile, and muttered to himself.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from afar, as Lanni Barnes followed, trying to stop Cade Simpson.
"If you weren’t Wyatt Barnes’s father, you would already be dead. House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... Tsk tsk, the leader of a mere quasi-third-rate power, dares to babble before me, Cade Simpson!"
Cade Simpson gave Lanni Barnes a cold look and casually pushed him.
Instantly, the void trembled, and a vast, formless force swept out, hurling Lanni Barnes away once more.
Before him, even someone as strong as Lanni Barnes was no match.
"Hmph!"
Simultaneously, as if noticing something, Cade Simpson’s gaze turned cold as he counterattacked.
Bang!!
With a loud explosion, the void trembled, and a disheveled figure appeared, flying backward out of thin air.
It was a man dressed in black.
Because his entire body was shrouded in black cloth, his true appearance could not be seen.
"Ugh!"
However, as he was flung out, the man in black also spat out a mouthful of clotted blood.
"Case!"
Seeing this, Lanni Barnes, who had also been struck down, turned pale.
The person who launched a sneak attack on Cade Simpson was none other than ’Case Moon’!
Case Moon was a mysterious figure within the Mansion of Azure Clouds, even more enigmatic than the House Master Lanni Barnes.
Everyone in the Mansion of Azure Clouds knew that Case Moon was like the shadow of their House Master.
Most importantly, Case Moon excelled at assassination techniques, akin to a ghost in the dark night.
Although his strength was slightly weaker than Lanni Barnes, there were people he could assassinate that Lanni Barnes might not be able to!
Yet today, even he has failed!
This shows how strong Cade Simpson is, far surpassing Case Moon!
"With Case’s assassination skills, even an ordinary early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm stronghold could be assassinated unexpectedly... But in front of this man claiming to be ’Cade Simpson,’ he couldn’t even get close or make a move before being discovered! Not even a peak Heavenly Saint Realm existence could necessarily achieve this!"
When Lanni Barnes looked at Cade Simpson again, a deep fear flickered in his eyes, "It seems that he might be an existence beyond the Heavenly Saint Realm!"
"Lord Cade Simpson!"
Just as Cade Simpson’s gaze turned icy cold, ready to eliminate Case Moon, a voice rang out from afar.
Accompanied by the voice was an elderly figure.
With just one glance, Cade Simpson recognized the person as the ’Keeper’ of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, a Heavenly Saint Realm martial artist sent by a top force from the Upper Domain.
"What is it?"
However, when facing this Keeper, Cade Simpson remained dismissive, even a bit impatient, clearly not placing the other person in his eyes.
The Keeper was an old man, and he too showed signs of restraint when facing Cade Simpson.
Could he not be restrained?
Not only was Cade Simpson’s strength stronger than his, but even his background was incomparable!
Although behind him was a top force from the Upper Domain, he was just an ordinary elder; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to this desolate ’Lower Domain.’
However, now standing before him was Cade Simpson from one of the three major sects of the Upper Domain, the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect,’ and his status within the sect was extraordinary!
Not to mention him, even the leader of the top force behind him would have to treat Cade Simpson with courtesy.
"Lord Cade Simpson, regarding the ’rule’ that forbids strong people above the Heavenly Saint Realm from slaughtering in the Lower Domain, which was jointly established by the three major sects including yours... Could you try to avoid killing? Otherwise, if the matter spreads, I wouldn’t know how to report to those above."
Facing Cade Simpson, the Keeper adopted a subordinate’s attitude, smiling wryly as he spoke.
"Hmph!"
Hearing the Keeper’s words, Cade Simpson snorted disdainfully, "If anyone accuses you of dereliction of duty because of this, let him come to the Mysterious Buddha Sect and question me, Cade Simpson!"
To the Mysterious Buddha Sect?
To question you?
The Keeper smiled wryly; even the leader of the top force behind him wouldn’t dare venture to the Mysterious Buddha Sect to question Cade Simpson!
Not to mention, Cade Simpson was a Mysterious Buddha Sect elder, and his father was one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect!
In the Mysterious Buddha Sect, the Four Great Dharma Kings could jointly dethrone the Sect Leader!
This shows the high status and strong power they possess!
Scoffing disdainfully at the Keeper, Cade Simpson’s gaze returned to Case Moon, smiling coldly, "You should have no relationship with Wyatt Barnes... Thus, I’ll send you on your way now!"
As soon as Cade Simpson finished speaking, Lanni Barnes’s face changed dramatically, and Case Moon’s expression under his black robe grew grim.
"Since when does a dignified Mysterious Buddha Sect elder flaunt his power in the Lower Domain?"
Yet, just as Cade Simpson was about to strike at Case Moon, a calm voice spread out, as if it came from all directions.
At least, it sounded that way to everyone present except Cade Simpson.
However, upon hearing this voice, Cade Simpson immediately locked onto the northern direction and asked sternly, "Who’s there?!"
Originally worried about Case Moon, Lanni Barnes’s face suddenly brightened upon hearing this voice, and he looked in the same direction as Cade Simpson.
Even though Case Moon’s expression couldn’t be seen upon hearing this voice, his body quivered imperceptibly.
The Keeper also followed Cade Simpson’s gaze towards the northern sky.
From the clouds in the northern sky, a figure slowly emerged.
It was an old man in a light gray robe!
The old man stood there, exuding an otherworldly aura.
"Destiny Elder!"
Upon seeing the old man’s true face, Cade Simpson’s eyes brightened, and his breathing turned rapid, his heart racing.
Destiny Elder, the contemporary heir of the Seven Terminating Sect’s second termination ’Destiny Lineage,’ was a thorn in the side, a major threat to the three major sects, including the Mysterious Buddha Sect where he belonged!
"If I can kill the Destiny Elder and bring back his head... my bargaining chip to become the next Sect Leader will certainly increase greatly!"
With this thought, Cade Simpson’s heartbeat quickened even more.
"Destiny Elder, I didn’t expect you’d be drawn here by the ’Demon Sealing Monument’... Alas, the Demon Sealing Monument is now in my possession! As for you, since you’re here, you won’t leave—stay!"
As soon as Cade Simpson finished speaking, he disappeared from his original spot.
At least, for those present, whether it was Lanni Barnes or Case Moon, they couldn’t see Cade Simpson’s movements.
Even the Heavenly Saint Realm Keeper couldn’t capture Cade Simpson’s form.
