Peerless War God

Xu Fang naturally didn't know. She had just experienced a life and death trial, and she was almost unable to return. Senior brother Ming's tragic death, and senior brother Gao's severe injuries that were close to being crippled, were all extremely great blows to her.    

If it wasn't for the unexpected rescue from Chen Xiao, all three of them would have died.    

As soon as she thought of this outcome, she felt endless fear, as if a huge shadow was about to devour her.    

Anyone would be afraid of death. This was too normal.    

At this time, she could only forcefully suppress the sadness in her heart. With 120% of her spirit, she looked at the old man and asked with concern: "Master, what exactly happened?"    

The old man patted Xu Fang's shoulder and sighed: "It's all my fault for being useless. I still have to ask you to go out and hunt to earn money. Using the money you earned to maintain this fragmented Xuanji Sect is truly ironic. Ah Ming's death was also because of me, it was me who caused Ah Ming's death "    

Hearing this, Xu Fang's face sank. She finally realized that something was wrong. It seemed to be even more serious than she had imagined.    

Because in her memories, she had never seen her master so depressed. He was so depressed. His tone and demeanor clearly showed that he had completely given up hope.    

"Master, you..."    

"Sigh, this Little Spirit Island is going to be lost." As the old man spoke, he raised his head to look at the sky. Although he was blocked by the hall, his gaze was extremely profound.    

"What? Little Spirit Island can't be saved?" Xu Fang's gaze was unfocused and her face was filled with shock.    

"How could this be? Didn't we collect enough tax this time? How could it be not enough?" Xu Fang grabbed the old man's hand and questioned.    

As a small sect, if they wanted to occupy such a small island, even if it was very small and very common in the White Stone City Sea, it was not free.    

Logically speaking, they would need to pay a large amount of occupation tax every year, and if they wanted to occupy the small island and establish a sect to recruit disciples, then they would need to pay even more occupation tax.    

After all, they were within White Stone City's sphere of influence, and since they were occupying the small island, it was only natural that they had to pay taxes. From a certain point of view, everyone was able to live peacefully on Little Spirit Island, which was also considered to have received White Stone City's protection.    

According to the rules, the closer to White Stone City to the Spirit Island, the higher the tax. If one wanted to take root in White Stone City, the amount of money needed would be astronomical.    

A small, run-down sect like them simply couldn't afford it.    

It was only right to pay the tax, and the amount was barely something the Xuanji Sect could bear.    

If Xu Fang remembered correctly, before the three of them left, the tax had actually been prepared. However, judging from the old man's expression, it seemed that something had happened.    

Thinking of this, Xu Fang became somewhat anxious.    

The old man took a deep breath and took out an envelope. He handed it to Xu Fang and said, "Take a look yourself. This is the ultimatum given to us by the Dou family."    

"The ultimatum?"    

Xu Fang opened the envelope and when she opened it, her eyes immediately burned with anger. She became furious. "What?! The price had actually increased, and it had even doubled! This is simply going too far! Is there still justice in this world? Could it be that White Stone City doesn't care about this?"    

"Me? Who would care? That's the Dou Clan, one of the four great clans of White Stone City, the Dou Clan. " After saying that, the old man's face immediately darkened.    

Xu Fang's face was pale, filled with despair, and even her eyes were lifeless. They were filled with incomparable despair.    

"That's right. That's one of the four great Prominent Families, the Dou Family. We're just a small sect. How can we compare?"    

She felt that it was too ironic and ridiculous.    

Apart from the City Lord Wang Family, the Four Great Families were the most powerful forces in White Rock City. Among them, the Yang, Dou, Huang and Ye Families had the worst reputation. Heng Xing! Domineering! He was the one who committed the most evil deeds, even though the world was full of criticism. They couldn't do anything about it.    

Who asked the Dou Family to be the lackeys and lackeys of the Wang Family? No matter how dissatisfied they were, in the end, they could not change the subject.    

Whoever had the bigger fist would be the one who had the final say.    

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. The Xuanji Sect also lost to me. Let's do it this way. Ah Ming is also dead now. He can't hold on any longer. Rather than being half-dead like him, why don't we settle this matter once and for all and disband it? " The elder spoke extremely disheartened words, and it was filled with sorrow.    

"Master." Xu Fang's heart shook and she was speechless for a moment.    

The other disciples were also slightly red in the eyes. Their eyes were filled with helplessness and they did not know what to do. At this point, their strength was really too small and they could not help at all.    

The only ones who could help were Brother Ming and the others. They had died and were even injured. It was really tragic.    

"Master ~"    

"Master!"    

All the disciples cried out in grief.    

Xu Fang sighed and said, "Master, is this really the only way?"    

She had already lived on Little Spirit Island for so long, except for her master. She also had a group of ordinary brothers and sisters. She had no other relatives. If Little Spirit Island was gone, she would really be a lonely ghost. There was nowhere to go.    

"It's my fault to your fellow disciples. It's my fault that I'm useless. I can't even protect this little Spirit Island. It's such a waste." The old man said.    

"Master, don't say that. It's all our fault for being useless. Now that things have come to this, we have to advance and retreat together." Xu Fang's eyes were red as she said in a serious tone.    

"Yes, Master. We are all with you."    

"Yes, even if Little Spirit Island is gone, you are still our master. I hope master doesn't leave us behind."    

Many disciples said so. It could be seen that their feelings for the old man were very deep.    

Even at this time, they did not give up. As the saying goes, only when you are in trouble can you see true feelings.    

At this moment, a stern shout broke the atmosphere. It was as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly struck the sky and resounded in everyone's ears.    

"Where is the Profound Truths Sect's Sect Master? Come out."    

Outside Little Spirit Island, a majestic spirit ship could be seen. It was like a massive mountain. Standing on the surface of the sea, the flags fluttered, accompanied by the whistling of the wind. One! The character 'Dou' was dancing crazily in the air, looking like a fierce dragon. It was intimidating.    

Indeed, it had come. This was the Dou Family's spirit cruiser.    

When the old man heard this voice, his entire body trembled. His face turned incomparably pale, and he even felt a bit embarrassed. He said, "It's coming. It's coming. There's no way to avoid it."
