Chapter 478: Chapter 478 A War Announcement Issued
When Walton Greer heard this, he snapped back coldly, "Don’t even think about it!"
"Then you’ll never match Mason Raymond...hehehe..." The raspy voice carried a mocking edge.
Rage flared in Walton Greer!
He shot to his feet, voice icy as he said, "Bullshit! I’ll take down Mason Raymond with my own hands eventually!"
"Take down Mason Raymond yourself? Once he reaches half-step Martial Marquis, you’ll stand even less of a chance..."
Walton’s hands balled into fists, veins popping on his forehead.
He didn’t want to accept it, but it was the harsh reality.
If Mason Raymond broke into the half-step Martial Marquis Realm, Walton Greer would have zero hope left.
His resolve started to crack.
...
Elder Adrianne raced back to the Great Saint Sect.
Hidden deep in the sect grounds sat a private courtyard villa.
The villa’s design was stunning, blending sleek modern architecture with an ancient Golden Hall.
Elder Adrianne burst into the villa and dropped to his knees at the entrance. He channeled his Inner Strength and shouted, "Elder Adrianne seeks an audience with the sect master!"
His voice boomed deep into the villa.
After a pause, the door creaked open slowly, but nobody stood there.
Elder Adrianne scrambled up and stepped inside.
As he entered the Golden Hall, a voice drifted from the darkness.
"Speak. What’s the matter?"
At that voice, Elder Adrianne rushed to say, "Sect Master, the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion is way too cocky and shows zero respect for our Great Saint Sect!"
Elder Adrianne then stretched the truth about what happened to the sect master.
The Great Hall fell silent, and the sect master said nothing.
After a bit, the sect master spoke up, "Medicine God Pavilion has deep connections everywhere. It’s not something we Great Saint Sect can mess with."
Elder Adrianne’s expression shifted!
If even the Great Saint Sect couldn’t handle it, who on earth could stand up to the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion?
Just as Elder Adrianne was losing hope, the sect master suddenly switched gears, saying coldly, "But if Medicine God Pavilion steps on our Great Saint Sect, we won’t just take it lying down!"
Elder Adrianne lit up and quickly said, "Right, Sect Master, we’ve got to find a way to teach Medicine God Pavilion a lesson!"
The sect master said seriously, "Tomorrow I’ll head to Capital City and talk this over with the Sean family."
"Perfect, perfect!" Elder Adrianne nodded eagerly.
After walking out of the villa, Elder Adrianne couldn’t stop himself from letting out cold chuckles.
"Just wait, you damn woman!" Elder Adrianne snarled.
"Once the sect master grabs you and drags you back, we’ll see how I handle you!" Elder Adrianne said with a nasty grin.
In his head, he pictured the Pavilion Master’s gorgeous body and couldn’t help but gulp.
...
The Medicine God Pavilion sat quiet.
Even though the Medicine God Pavilion still had herbs stocked up, without fresh supplies coming in, they’d run dry eventually.
"Lord Pavilion Master, our current herb supply will last maybe two weeks tops." An assistant stood next to the pavilion master and whispered.
The pavilion master’s cold face showed no emotion at all.
She stared off into the distance and said quietly, "Got it, just take the next two weeks off."
"Yes, Lord Pavilion Master." The assistant nodded quickly.
This was the first time in Medicine God Pavilion’s history that they’d given such a massive break.
Even though the alchemists in the Pavilion were pretty relaxed before, Medicine God Pavilion had never officially announced time off.
Word of this spread through the Medicine God Pavilion fast, and everyone started talking.
"Mason Raymond, you better not let everyone down..." Fifth Elder sighed softly.
...
There was a private club in Capital City.
A few wealthy families had pooled money to start this club.
The club didn’t serve regular people, and all the members came from powerful families.
Today, Logan Sean, Klein Johansson, and Phoebe Billy from the Capital City Martial Arts Association met up here.
Besides them, there was an old guy in white robes.
Even though the old man had white hair, he looked strong and energetic, just like someone young.
This old man was Atkinson Samson, the sect master of the Great Saint Sect!
"What do you want from us?" Logan Sean said casually while puffing on a cigar.
Atkinson Samson said quietly, "Mr. Sean, I came to talk about the Medicine God Pavilion situation with you."
"Medicine God Pavilion?" Logan Sean’s face went cold, and he couldn’t help but snort.
He couldn’t stop thinking about how arrogant the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion had acted.
Atkinson Samson went on, "Medicine God Pavilion has gotten way too bold, completely ignoring us."
Then he filled everyone in on what had happened.
"Lord Samson, this Medicine God Pavilion is off-limits. Lots of people need their alchemists to stay healthy," Klein Johansson said, frowning.
Atkinson Samson nodded a bit and said, "That’s exactly why I came to talk it over with you."
Logan Sean snorted, "Are they really untouchable? It’s just Medicine God Pavilion; someone else could take their place."
"Mr. Sean, you’re wrong," Phoebe Billy said, shaking his head.
He said calmly, "The Lord of Medicine God Pavilion’s alchemy skills are the best in the world. Right now, nobody can replace her."
"Plus... her connections reach people above us," Phoebe Billy hinted, pointing up at the ceiling.
There weren’t many people with higher status than them.
Everyone there got the hint.
"Elder Billy, why be so careful?" Logan Sean sneered.
"As an alchemist, just stick to healing people and making pills. Why get involved in other stuff?"
"We can definitely teach Medicine God Pavilion a lesson. At worst, we’ll just keep her alive."
Logan Sean was clearly the most daring one there.
He’d hated Medicine God Pavilion for ages.
Phoebe Billy stayed quiet for a moment, then said, "I’ll go back and talk to my boss about this."
"What’s to talk about!" Logan Sean stood up and said.
He turned to Atkinson Samson and said, "Atkinson Samson, I’m ordering you to attack Medicine God Pavilion right now and teach them a lesson."
Atkinson Samson looked awkwardly at the others.
Logan Sean said impatiently, "I’ll take full blame! Remember, we need to catch that woman, the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion, alive."
When Atkinson Samson heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "I understand."
After leaving, Atkinson Samson went back to the Great Saint Sect.
That day, the Great Saint Sect posted a war announcement on the Martial Arts Forum:
Mason Raymond disrespects our Great Saint Sect, kills our sect’s disciples, and wrecks our treasure! His actions deserve punishment!
Within three days, if Medicine God Pavilion doesn’t hand over Mason Raymond, our Great Saint Sect will take harsh action against Medicine God Pavilion!
