Chapter 498: Chapter 498 A Reign Of Terror
Atkinson Samson was preparing to personally hunt down Mason Raymond!
He was a genuine Martial Marquis! Completely different from a half-step Martial Marquis!
In the cultivation world, a Martial Marquis equaled the Golden Core Stage!
They had already formed golden cores in their bodies, their power reaching an entirely different realm! Nothing a half-step Martial Marquis could match!
That day, Atkinson Samson announced this news on the Martial Arts Forum.
Beyond that, Atkinson Samson also placed a bounty on the Martial Arts Forum:
Anyone providing intel on Mason Raymond’s location would receive a thousand-year-old King of Medicine plus ten million cash!
Such massive rewards revealed Atkinson Samson’s resolve and fury!
——
Inside the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Fifth Elder rushed in, clutching his phone.
"Mason Raymond, Atkinson Samson is coming for you personally!" Terror covered Fifth Elder’s face.
But I stayed remarkably composed. I glanced at Fifth Elder and gave a nod. "I’m aware."
Fifth Elder looked stunned and quickly said, "Mason Raymond, you realize Atkinson Samson is a Martial Marquis, right? Aren’t you... concerned?"
"What good would worry do?" I slowly rose from the bed.
"Even if he doesn’t hunt me down, I’ll seek him out," I said with a sneer.
Fifth Elder was completely speechless.
I was going after Atkinson Samson? Wasn’t that suicide?
"Mason Raymond, with your abilities, reaching Martial Marquis is inevitable. You could even explore higher levels later! Why clash with him now?" Fifth Elder pleaded desperately.
I smiled. "Fifth Elder, relax. I understand what I’m doing."
With that, I walked straight out of the Elder’s quarters.
"Where are you headed?" Fifth Elder asked, confused.
I replied coldly, "To eliminate the Great Saint Sect’s remaining allies."
After saying this, I left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
As the north’s top sect, the Great Saint Sect had countless noble families depending on them!
They weren’t just the Great Saint Sect’s servants but relied on them for survival.
I understood I couldn’t defeat Atkinson Samson, but I had my own strengths.
Being a solo fighter and extremely quick.
"Great Saint Sect, you’ll pay dearly," I said coldly.
Over recent days, I had already compiled a list of the Great Saint Sect’s subsidiary sects.
I pulled out this list and began visiting each one.
Carly Province, Taly City.
In Taly City, the dominant noble family was the Meyer family.
The Meyer family possessed billions in assets, spanning real estate, entertainment venues, and more.
Additionally, the Meyer family served as one of the Great Saint Sect’s lackeys. They maintained strong martial forces, with several Grandmasters protecting them, making almost no one dare challenge them.
That evening, I arrived at the Meyer family’s entrance.
I surveyed the area, then entered the Meyer family compound.
Soon after, agonized screams and flashes of light erupted from within the Meyer family home.
In under thirty minutes, the Meyer family head was killed on a woman’s stomach!
As for the Grandmasters dispatched by the Great Saint Sect, none survived—I eliminated them all with single palm strikes!
Another day passed, and the Central Plains Lukas Family head was decapitated! Eight Grandmasters were completely destroyed!
In the following days, one terrible report after another emerged.
The Brown family head died in his office, with three Grandmasters also killed.
The Aguilar family head died at the dinner table, leaving no surviving Grandmasters.
The White Family head died in his study, with one half-step Martial Marquis even becoming a mummified corpse!
All victims shared one trait—they all originated from the Great Saint Sect!
Before the shock faded, I had already posted a declaration on the Martial Arts Forum:
I don’t think your Great Saint Sect can shield everyone! So what if you, Atkinson Samson, are a Martial Marquis? As long as I live, I’ll butcher everyone connected to the Great Saint Sect!
——
"Mason Raymond... Mason Raymond!!" Atkinson Samson slammed his palm down, pulverizing the table!
"Go find him! Locate Mason Raymond!" Atkinson Samson snarled through clenched teeth.
Elder Adrianne approached quickly and whispered, "Sect Master, we attempted to track Mason Raymond, but his movement skills are incredibly swift, and he essentially changes cities daily."
"When we arrive, he’s already vanished..."
Another elder stepped forward, shaking, and said, "Sect Master, all the noble families who submitted to the Great Saint Sect are now keeping their distance from us..."
"Sect Master, if this continues, we’ll lose at least several billion annually..."
Atkinson Samson breathed heavily, trembling with rage.
"Whatever it takes, I will destroy this Mason Raymond!" Atkinson Samson ground his teeth.
He immediately commanded Elder Adrianne to prepare a complete list of all noble families connected to the Great Saint Sect.
"Mason Raymond bragged about destroying my Great Saint Sect—fine, I’ll set an ambush!" Atkinson Samson said icily.
"The moment Mason Raymond appears, I’ll eliminate him!"
After making that statement, Atkinson Samson turned and departed.
——
However, at this time, I hadn’t gone to another noble family.
I quietly approached the Great Saint Sect and waited there silently.
Shortly after Atkinson Samson left, I infiltrated the Great Saint Sect and began a slaughter!
The disciples remaining in the Great Saint Sect that day numbered in the hundreds, and ultimately, all became corpses—not one was spared!
When Atkinson Samson returned, the Great Saint Sect had become a blood river!
——
"Ah!!!"
Atkinson Samson shrieked in madness and fury!
His wild hair whipped around, and his roar resonated throughout the entire Great Saint Sect!
"Mason Raymond, I must capture you! I must capture you!" Atkinson Samson seethed, grinding his teeth with rage!
"Sect Master, the disciples are also becoming frightened due to Mason Raymond’s rampage..." one elder reported.
"Many disciples want to quit and return home..."
"I also received numerous resignation letters, at least dozens... including those at Peak Form Grandmaster."
Peak Form Grandmaster represented the Great Saint Sect’s reserve strength!
With the Spiritual Spring, the Great Saint Sect had opportunities to forge them into half-step Martial Marquises!
But now, due to Mason Raymond’s madness, these disciples and potential recruits were scared away!
For a moment, Atkinson Samson was completely helpless.
He massaged his temples and whispered, "Go find surveillance footage and locate Mason Raymond!"
"Sect Master, do you think we can track Mason Raymond through surveillance? He strikes once then moves. Who could catch him..."
Atkinson Samson couldn’t help but frown.
He never imagined that one Mason Raymond could bring the once-mighty Great Saint Sect to near collapse!
"I have an idea." At this moment, Elder Adrianne stepped up.
Atkinson Samson shot Elder Adrianne a cold look and asked, "What is it?"
Elder Adrianne considered briefly and said, "We can fake negotiations and lure Mason Raymond in!"
"I believe if our offer is attractive enough, Mason Raymond would definitely agree!"
"Once Mason Raymond shows up, we’ll make sure he can’t escape!"
