Chapter 82: Master Golden Light
The speaker stood beside Jia Tianlong—a dwarf about three feet tall.
This dwarf appeared to be in his forties, with a thin, lean frame. He wore a red robe embroidered with golden thread, gold rings on his fingers and neck, and a few golden bells tied around his waist. When he spoke, flashes of golden light shimmered in his mouth, revealing gold teeth inside. From his appearance, he looked like a typical nouveau riche country bumpkin.
At this moment, he wore a face full of impatience, clearly displeased with Jia Tianlong’s hesitation.
Such a sleazy-looking dwarf, dressed like a rustic wealthy landlord, was showing such disrespect to Jia Tianlong, causing the loyal Iron Guards nearby to glare angrily at him.
The dwarf noticed the Iron Guards’ displeasure but let out a cold, mocking laugh. Ignoring them, he arrogantly addressed Jia Tianlong:
“Gang Leader Jia, you spent three thousand taels of gold to summon me all the way from the Golden Light Monastery. Surely you’re not going to just watch the night unfold! If there’s someone you want me to deal with, say it now. It can’t be the Sect Master of the seven mysteries sect, right? That weak opponent you can handle yourself; no need to spend big money to hire me for that.”
Jia Tianlong replied humbly, without any sign of disrespect:
“The Sect Master of the seven mysteries sect is not someone who requires the immortal master’s intervention. The ones I invited you to deal with are the three senior uncles of the seven mysteries sect master. Although these three have been declared dead to the outside world, they have actually been hiding in a secret chamber inside Sunset Peak, undergoing a life-and-death cultivation. Their skills have likely already reached the transformation realm, making them an unstoppable force that only you, Immortal Master, can defeat. They are currently the greatest reliance of the seven mysteries sect.”
Jia Tianlong spoke modestly, showing no hint of arrogance.
It should be known that this red-robed dwarf was someone Jia Tianlong had met by chance at a Taoist temple near the Barbarian Territory. This man called himself Master Golden Light and claimed to have boundless magical power. He had personally demonstrated the flying sword technique and the diamond indestructible technique for Jia Tianlong.
After witnessing these two powerful techniques, Jia Tianlong was deeply impressed, realizing he was dealing with a legendary cultivator. He immediately felt the desire to build a close relationship.
Knowing this man’s obsession with gold, Jia Tianlong lavished him with vast amounts of gold and flattered him, eventually earning a promise that the master would help him once.
Therefore, Jia Tianlong always treated this dwarf with utmost respect, never showing the slightest hint of disdain for his arrogance. He knew very well that Master Golden Light was not someone the small Wild Wolf Gang could oppose.
Master Golden Light laughed heartily upon hearing this. When his laughter subsided, he said arrogantly:
“A few mortal fools? Leave them to me! No matter how strong their cultivation or martial skills, they are no match for my flying sword technique. Rest assured!”
“Thank you, Immortal Master. I will not go back on my promised reward. And after this success, I’m willing to pay an additional two thousand taels of gold as a bonus,” Jia Tianlong said happily, quickly raising the stakes. He knew this man was no benevolent figure and preferred to speak in gold.
Hearing this, the dwarf’s dry, tangerine-peel-like face showed a faint smile. He nodded approvingly, clearly appreciating Gang Leader Jia’s tact.
With the guarantee of this great expert, Jia Tianlong no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the Wild Wolf Gang to all ascend to the peak of Sunset Peak, preparing to attack the seven mysteries sect’s main hall—the Seven Mysteries Hall.
Because so many people flooded the mountain peak, Jia Tianlong and his Iron Guards had a hard time making their way to the stone hall.
