Chapter 996: Visitors from the Sunset Sect (Second update, requesting everything)

Just as Li Zhangsheng was busy with his preparations, someone happened to come to visit him.

The person who came was not a King or a Double-Character King. He was merely a Sixth-tier Beastmaster representing the Sunset Sect.

The founder of the Sunset Sect was a peerless genius; although he did not become a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, he was one of the top Double-Character Kings of his time. His claim to fame was slaying a three-legged Golden Crow, which is how the Sunset Sect got its name.

According to what Li Zhangsheng understood, even if the Sunset Sect founder was not as good as the Hundred Victories King, he was likely not far off.

It was just that he had long since fallen.

Although the current Sunset Sect had declined significantly and had not produced a Double-Character King in hundreds of years, it still had two veteran Kings holding the fort, and it had deep roots in the Yuancha Kingdom, with intricate ties to the Yuancha Kingdom Imperial Family.

Unlike the Langya Kingdom, the Yuancha Kingdom was dominated by sects, with the Academy as a supplement. Most of its resources were concentrated in the major sects, following an elite path.

Whether it was sects or the Academy, both had their pros and cons. With the same resources, the former was more likely to produce Stronger individuals, while the latter could cultivate more Demon Tamers.

This time, the person from the Sunset Sect had naturally come for Shi Da.

Since Li Zhangsheng had decided to protect Shi Da and his family, he would naturally not go back on his word. However, out of a desire not to make enemies, he still received this Outer Sect Elder of the Sunset Sect.

Similar to other sects, the positions in the Sunset Sect from top to bottom were Supreme Elder, Sect Master, Inner Sect Elder, Outer Sect Elder, Inner Sect Deacon, Outer Sect Deacon, and True Disciple, whose status was no lower than an Inner Sect Deacon.

The status of an Outer Sect Elder was already quite high in the Sunset Sect; one had to be at least a Sixth-tier Beastmaster to hold the position.

From this, one could see the strength of the Sunset Sect. A single sect had two Kings and several Pseudo-Kings, not to mention the Fifth-Sixth Rank Demon Tamers, which was enough to rival the number of Stronger individuals in the Dai Kingdom.

In the main hall, Li Zhangsheng received this Outer Sect Elder of the Sunset Sect who was not worthy of having a name.

This was an old man with a youthful face and crane-like hair, wearing a black robe embroidered with a crying Golden Crow; this was the unique attire of the Sunset Sect and also what the Sunset Sect was most proud of.

"Greetings, His Majesty the Quan King!"

Pride was pride, but the Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder dared not be presumptuous in front of Li Zhangsheng, bowing down.

In front of Li Zhangsheng, he was just a small fry. The identity of a King alone was enough to suppress him completely, let alone the fact that the other party was the world-renowned Li Zhangsheng.

"Rise!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his sleeve and continued to sit calmly on the dragon throne, saying intentionally or unintentionally: "What is your business in coming to see this Seat?"

The Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder weighed his words and said: "Reporting to His Majesty, this small one has come to pursue an enemy of the sect!"

Li Zhangsheng pretended not to know and asked: "What is his name?"

The Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder bit the bullet and said: "His name is Shi Da. I ask His Majesty to give our Sunset Sect some face and hand him over to..."

As soon as his voice fell, a heavy Pressure bore down on him, as if he were carrying a great mountain, forcing him to hunch his waist just to barely hold on.

The Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder was filled with horror, mainly due to the intensity of Li Zhangsheng's Pressure. He had once had the fortune to experience the mental oppression of a Supreme Elder, but there was a significant gap compared to Li Zhangsheng.

The other party was clearly a New King, yet his mental oppression was even stronger than that of a veteran King, which made him feel incredulous and, at the same time, even more in awe.

"Shi Da is this Seat's Steward; how could this Seat hand him over to your Sunset Sect for no reason!"

Li Zhangsheng did not withdraw the mental oppression; even if the other party was just a small fry of the Sunset Sect, he had to treat him seriously.

As for the face of the Sunset Sect, he did not take it to heart. Although the Yuancha Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom were both in the southeast region, they were ten thousand miles apart.

The Outer Sect Elder was suffering inwardly, but he continued: "Your Majesty, as long as you can hand him over to our Sunset Sect, not only will you gain the friendship of our Sunset Sect, but we will surely have a generous reward afterwards!"

"What kind of generous reward?"

Li Zhangsheng withdrew the mental oppression and asked with feigned interest. He felt it was better to play it safe and drag things out, so as to avoid the Sunset Sect also sticking their oar in at the critical moment of dealing with the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

If it were only the Sunset Sect, Li Zhangsheng could easily handle it.

After Li Zhangsheng withdrew the mental oppression, the Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder breathed a clear sigh of relief. He did not wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with awe: "This small one cannot decide this; I must notify the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder."

"Since you cannot make the decision, why don't you go and notify them quickly."

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand and issued an order to leave.

"Your Majesty, this small one will notify them immediately!"

The Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder left the palace in a sorry state, riding his Flying Demon Pet and flying towards the Yuancha Kingdom without a moment's delay.

Although he had a Strange Treasure for communication in his hand, the Yuancha Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom were ten thousand miles apart, which was completely out of range.

After sending away the Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder, Li Zhangsheng observed the other party's flight direction slightly, thought for a moment, went to the backyard, and opened a seal.

This seal was set up more than two months ago. At that time, he had just killed Dou Changsheng and had not yet become a King, but he had brought the Demon King-level white dragon Ruixifeierzi here and sealed it in the backyard.

Only now did Li Zhangsheng remember this pitiful yet lucky Demon King-level white dragon.

The ground in the backyard shook violently, cracks appeared, and the Seal Altar made a sound of being unable to bear the weight before shattering with a boom.

After breaking the Seal Altar, Ruixifeierzi couldn't wait to take off, but upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, its Longyan shrank, and it hurriedly lay back down on the ground obediently; it did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Demon King-level red dragon Magegaite.

Sensing Li Zhangsheng's aura, Ruixifeierzi complained bitterly in its heart, never expecting Li Zhangsheng to become a King so quickly. With such an astonishing rate of progress, it feared it would never be able to escape Li Zhangsheng's clutches in this lifetime.

"Ruixifeierzi, I have a task for you. If you do it well, this Seat will return your mountain of treasure."

Li Zhangsheng reached out and waved, and a huge mountain of treasure appeared in the open space of the backyard.

Ruixifeierzi's eyes lit up, and it nodded in agreement without delay.

After Li Zhangsheng finished his instructions, in order to avoid being detected, Ruixifeierzi cast the Invisibility Technique, its huge dragon body disappeared, and it flew in the direction the Sunset Sect Outer Sect Elder had left.

Besides Ruixifeierzi, Li Zhangsheng also had Kailan follow. If Ruixifeierzi could not complete the task, Kailan would take action.

At this critical moment, Li Zhangsheng did not want any twists and turns.
