Martial Master

“Exaggerated?” Linyuan Sect Master glanced at Sikong Zhen, touched his nose, and couldn’t help but frown.

Did he perform in an exaggerated way?

Clearly not; he was genuinely performing with sincerity.

But what if it really was too exaggerated and displeased the master? Then… Thinking of this, Linyuan Sect Master hurriedly grabbed Protector Mi Kong who was beside him and nervously asked, “Mi Kong, was my performance just now really exaggerated?”

Protector Mi Kong: “…” A group of protectors and elders also froze in their tracks, each one speechless.

After finishing their cultivation and preparations, Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen, along with a group of people, quickly flew towards Shihen Imperial Sect.

On the way, Sikong Zhen saw the imposing team of Linyuan Sacred Gate and then looked at himself who was alone. He couldn’t help but approach Qin Chen and whisper, “Master, are we going to Shihen Imperial Sect now? Should we go back to Sikong Sacred Ground first and let this subordinate bring out the strong ones from the Sacred Ground, just in case?”

As soon as Sikong Zhen got close to Qin Chen, Linyuan Sect Master was already paying close attention. Hearing Sikong Zhen’s words, his expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile, saying, “Master, isn’t this unnecessary? Speed is of the essence. My Linyuan Sacred Gate has made such a big commotion; if we go to Sikong Sacred Ground first and then to Shihen Imperial Sect, with Shihen Imperial Sect's intelligence capabilities, they will surely catch on. But if we head directly to Shihen Imperial Sect, that old thing, Shihen Supreme, won’t be too vigilant.”

“As for what Sikong Zhen mentioned about bringing out the strong ones from their Sacred Ground, this subordinate also thinks it’s not very necessary.”

Saying this, he patted his chest, “Master, you can rest assured. This time, my Linyuan Sacred Gate is mobilizing the entire army. Although this subordinate’s strength is not top-notch, for your sake, I am willing to risk my life, even if it means being shattered to pieces, I will definitely fulfill your orders.”

Linyuan Sect Master pounded his chest loudly.

Sikong Zhen looked at Linyuan Supreme with a speechless expression. Was this guy really the Linyuan Sacred Gate’s sect master he knew?

Why does he act like a sycophant?

This was an assault on Shihen Imperial Sect, right?

Doesn’t he fear that his subordinates will be wrapped up by Shihen Imperial Sect?

Qin Chen glanced at Sikong Zhen and said, “Indeed, speed is of the essence. It’s just a small Shihen Imperial Sect; we can directly destroy it, no need to worry so much.”

“Yes.”

Sikong Zhen nodded in response.

Everyone continued on their way.

On the road, Sikong Zhen came to Linyuan Supreme’s side and frowned, saying, “Linyuan brother, is there really a need to flatter so directly? This is going too far!”

Linyuan Supreme showed a look of surprise, “Sikong brother, that’s not true. How could I be flattering? I’m genuinely considering the master and you, Sikong brother.”

As he spoke, Linyuan Supreme cupped his hands and sighed, “If I have caused any misunderstanding, I hope Sikong brother will forgive me. I’m truly thinking of the master and have no selfish motives at all.”

“Alright, alright.”

Sikong Zhen waved his hand, “If you keep performing, it’ll be exaggerated again.”

Linyuan Supreme’s expression darkened, angrily saying, “Sikong brother, if you keep saying this, I’ll be upset. We are all working for the master, how can you doubt my loyalty to the master? Although you followed the master first, loyalty doesn’t depend on who came first. My pure heart toward the master is as evident as the sun and the moon, as clear as heaven and earth…” Sikong Zhen was too lazy to listen to him finish and turned away.

Before leaving, Sikong Zhen glanced at Linyuan Supreme with disdain, saying, “Linyuan brother, there’s an old saying: a sycophant doesn’t have a good end!”
