Chapter 1522 - Recuperate, Refine
News of the Deng Clan’s young patriarch, Deng Hong, stirring up trouble at the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor quickly spread throughout Guangyuan City.
As the two strongest forces of Guangyuan City, the Deng Clan and the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor had been generational rivals: one day plotting, the next day countering, their friction an everyday affair.
However, in this generation, a gap in strength appeared in the evenly matched forces. The Deng Clan gradually suppressed the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor.
Whispers filled the city. Tales of Deng Hong’s antics at the manor, rumors of Deng Hui on the cusp of the fourth-level Immortal Platform realm, his success all but certain, spread like wildfire.
“It seems major changes are brewing. Once Deng Hui succeeds in breaking through, no one in the entire Guangyuan City will be a match for him. The downfall of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor is imminent.”
“That’s right. The manor’s been on the back foot lately, losing many of its top fighters to the Deng Clan. Several years ago, Gongsun Jing had a chance to advance into the fourth-level Immortal Platform realm, but the Deng Clan ambushed him when he was on a trip, leaving him with an injury that still hasn’t fully healed,” replied someone.
“Once the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor is wiped out, the entire Guangyuan City will fall under the Deng Clan’s dark rule. Haaa, who knows how many women will fall victim to Deng Hong, that hedonistic young master?”
All around, eyes turned toward the Deng Clan’s domain. Some swore they saw a beast lurking in those halls, waiting to unleash chaos the moment it evolved.
All of the higher-ups of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor gathered in the council hall.
Gongsun Jing sat in the main seat. To his left and right were two third-level Immortal Platform realm experts. One of them was Ma Xinglong, and the other was Gongsun Jing’s younger cousin brother, Gongsun Long.
