Legend of the Rage God

Challenging William

Although Brian didn’t interact much with Jaden, his impression of Jaden was very good. It was to the extent that he would personally assure Jaden’s security when he was not aware of it.

However, ever since he found out about Jaden requesting the five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills from his father, a huge change occurred in his view regarding Jaden.

Brian took a deep breath and restrained his murder intent before he turned around to leave. He did not want to stay a second longer in this place.

However, before Brian took a step out of the court gate, an angry voice suddenly erupted, “They dare to accuse my father of misconduct?”

A lofty aura accompanied the angry voice, and it was as if it exploded in an instant.

This caused Brian to be shocked. He subconsciously turned around and saw Jaden with an overwhelming rage that could reach the heavens. He sensed the vigorous strength emanating from Jaden’s body, causing his face to turn dumbstruck while his eyes revealed deep shock.

This…..How did this happen?

Jaden’s cultivation had actually reached the fifth-layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm?

********

The entire Hall of Conference of the Shiba Clan sunk into dead silence.

All of the attendees had gaping eyes, they had never thought that Victor would actually Challenge William’s position as Patriarch.

The expressions of the Second Elder and Third Elder beneath Victor were exceedingly calm, it was as though they were expecting this to happen.

“Challenge me?” William broke the silence, his smile revealed a trace of indifference, “First Elder, you want to Challenge me due to this? In that case, why don’t you show me what abilities you have to Challenge me!”

As William spoke, majestic Profound Qi violently surged from his body.

The expressions of the present crowd simultaneously changed as they felt immense pressure, it was as though even breathing had become exceedingly difficult.

This was the power of Life Transformation realm.

William stood up and observed the audience before his gaze finally landed on Victor as he said, “I, William, am the only Life Transformation Realm expert within the Shiba Clan. If you want to Challenge me, then I’d like to see just what qualifications you, the First Elder, have to be on an equal standing as the Blackwood Clan.”

As William finished speaking, the faces of a large majority of the crowd changed abruptly.

Shiba Clan and Blackwood Clan are the two major Clans of Imperial City, they were also incessantly battling against each other. Moreover, the Patriarch of Blackwood Clan was also a Life Transformation Realm expert. If the Shiba Clan didn’t have William, the Shiba Clan definitely wouldn’t be on par with the Blackwood Clan.

Victor remained unperturbed, instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face, “William, I assume you’re going to rely on your cultivation to deal with this affair? Do you think you are the only one who can support the Shiba Clan?

The crowd was dumbstruck. What did Victor imply? Could it be that Victor has broken through and achieved the Life Transformation Realm?

Victor stood up, he was apathetic about the pressure that William had released. Instead, he said in an indifferent manner, “Let me tell everyone some news today. Two days ago in the Sects gathering in Thunder Titan Academy, my grandson, Marcus, was acknowledged by Heavenly Sword Sect and was selected to become their disciple! Furthermore, Heavenly Sword Sect will visit Imperial City to conduct a disciple selection in five days!

In this instant, the entire Hall of Conference turned silent once again, even the current William’s expression changed dramatically.

Heavenly Sword Sect!

Within the entire Thunder Titan Empire, the Heavenly Sword Sect was one of the four Great Sects. Its strength was placed in the top echelon of the empire and was deemed to be exceedingly powerful. For youths, this was the Holy Land of Martial.

An attendee’s breathing became increasingly rapid, “First Elder, is this true? The selection period for Heavenly Sword Sect has always been once in three years. Currently, it has only been less than two years since the previous selection!”

“The selection this time had been shifted to an earlier date,” said Victor with pride.

Wa!

The crowd finally reacted to his words, it was as if they had all taken a deep breath at the same time. Their gazes were fixed on Marcus; if their previous look were of reverence and intentions of currying favors, then their current gaze would be one brimming with passion and hope!

In an instant, William’s position in their heart had instantly hit an all time low.

So what if Shiba Clan didn’t have a Life Transformation Realm expert?

As long as Marcus had become a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect, then the Shiba Clan wouldn’t just become the superior clan of the two, they could even pressure the Blackwood Clan and become the true Overlord of Imperial City after the Royal family. Their future was boundless and was far better in comparison to the benefits that William could possibly bring to the Clan!

“Everyone,” Marcus said, his face was filled with endless pride and a strong sense of disdain as he glanced directly into William’s eyes, “The Patriarch of Shiba Clan is unable to differentiate public and private affairs and had transferred five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills to his son. In my opinion, someone like this can no longer be the Patriarch of the Shiba Clan.”

William’s complexion changed, his heart gave rise to an ill premonition.

Although he knew that Victor would use this Clan Meeting as an opportunity to revolt, he hadn’t expected that Marcus had actually become a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect.

Thus, although William had Life Transformation Realm cultivation and was the number one expert of the Shiba Clan, it had absolutely no meaning at all because Heavenly Sword Sect has cultivators of Earth God Realm.

William took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down as he quickly said, “Everyone, although I had indeed withdrawn five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills for my son, I have already used my own cultivation resources in exchange!”

“Furthermore, I can boast about something. Ever since I’ve assumed the responsibility of Patriarch, I have dedicated myself to the Shiba Clan in order to make it become even more powerful. It has been fifty years since I assumed the responsibility of Patriarch, and in these past fifty years, I don’t dare to say how many things I’ve accomplished. However, I do dare to say that the Shiba Clan has become powerful under my guidance!”

"Not only am I the Patriarch of the Shiba Clan, I am also Jaden’s father. My son has suffered since the day he was born. This was the first request Jaden had ever asked, thus, as a father, I am obligated to fulfill his request. Furthermore, I’ve previously declared that my future cultivation resources will be returned to the clan. This is all I wanted to say. I hope that you will continue to support me!”

Every word and sentence was very deep and low; it came from the bottom of the heart of William.

When Victor and Marcus watched this scene, their faces didn’t show a slightest hint of sympathy. Instead, their mocking expression became increasingly visible.

The crowd sunk into silence once again. At this moment, the Second and Third Elder who sat behind Victor stood up simultaneously as they said, “I support Marcus. William should no longer assume the position as the Patriarch of the Shiba Clan!”

When the Second and Third Elder took the initiative to speak, the attendees immediately erupted. Practically the entire crowd spoke against William, it was clear they didn’t take William’s word to heart.

“That’s right! William, you don’t have the qualifications to be the Patriarch anymore.”

“What a joke! What does the development of our Shiba Clan have anything to do with you? This was all due to our own efforts!”

“I support the removal of William! I’ve been tired of you for a long time. You would actually give that many Qi Nurturing Pills to your son? Is this something you should do? You should be giving these Qi Nurturing Pills to Young Master Marcus, that’d make more sense!”

“Remove William! We definitely shouldn’t let this kind of person continue being the Patriarch of our Shiba Clan!”

The entire Hall of Conference blew up, all of the attendees wore either an expression of hesitation or resent. Some of these attendees became angry to the point where their killing intent could be seen. If it weren’t for William’s cultivation, they would have already rushed up to him and beat him up.

Victor and Marcus exchanged gazes, one could see a great delight within their eyes.

William’s figure flashed past, his face paled. He gazed at the attendees who were filled with resentment, rage and killing intent filled their faces. In this instant, it was as if a tremendous Sword had ferociously stabbed his heart, causing William to feel heart-tearing, lung-splitting pain.

William had never thought that the people of the Shiba Clan would actually show resentment towards him!

“Haha……” At this time, William suddenly faced toward the skies and let out a laugh, his aura suffered an abrupt and devastating decline. It was as though he had lost his three souls and six senses. As he staggered, he remarked, “So it’s like this…. it’s actually like this… Since it is like this, then I’ll promise….”

Before William finished speaking, Victor began to feel excitement. He had been lusting for the position of Patriarch for many years, however, his cultivation simply wasn’t comparable to William’s. Thus, he could only endure.

However, when he saw the situation, he took advantage of it to begin his plan.

Thus, Victor took advantage of the Clan Meeting to start a revolt. As long as he was able to remove William from his position in the Clan, Victor would be able to become the Patriarch of the Shiba Clan!

Marcus, who was behind Victor, also felt excited.

Marcus hadn’t felt much resentment towards William, moreover, he had also understood that if it weren’t for William, the Shiba Clan wouldn’t have become the top ranked Clan within Imperial City. However, the fact that caused Marcus to feel extremely excited was the fact that if William were to lose his position, then Jaden would become absolute garbage in Marcus’s eyes.

He wanted to take away Jaden’s qualifications to even look up to himself for the rest of his life. This was also the reason why he threw Jaden from the cliff.

However, at this moment, the sound of an explosion suddenly resounded.

The gate of Shiba Clan’s Conference was instantly blown into pieces scattered throughout the sky. A figure emerged from within the sawdust, residue, smoke, and dust; his face was filled with overwhelming rage. This person was Jaden!
