Immortality Starts From Making Money.

Inside the Town Chief's mansion, the town chief paced back and forth, his face marred with agitation and anticipation.

He looked outside his window frequently as if he was waiting for someone.

And indeed, he was waiting for someone. Against the Thousand Wealth Chamber, he alone could not do anything to them, but with his backing—

They would be buried in the Desert of Fallen with others who had dared to go against him.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, and the result was always the same.

Suddenly, a pressure descended like a heavy mountain on everyone inside the mansion.

Those with weaker cultivation fell flat to the ground, their faces ashen.

When the town chief felt the pressure, his face shifted into excitement, and he forced himself to calm down.

'Finally, they are here.' He grinned inwardly.

Just then, the pressure over the mansion vanished, giving an illusion it was not there in the first place.

Quickly, the town chief rushed out of his office to welcome the Golden Core expert.

Outside, a young man descended from the sky and looked at the frozen guards in disdain.

Just as he prepared to ask for their chief, the chief rushed out of the mansion.

"My Lord, welcome." The chief said with a flattering smile.

"I've prepared a banquet for your arrival. Please, follow me."

The young man snorted in disdain. "Stop the flattering and lead me to those who dare go against my clan."

"I need to finish this quickly and return to the clan immediately."

"Ahh! Yes. Yes. I'll take you there right away."

"That will be too slow." The young man stretched out his hand and picked the chief by the collar.

Whoosh!

They rose to the sky and flew toward the town street. In the sky, the chief almost had his heart jump out of his chest in fright.

"What? Are you scared of flying?" The young man asked in disdain.

"Hahaha. No. No. I'm just surprised." The chief responded sheepishly.

He recovered from the shock and pointed his finger in the direction of the Inn where the Thousand Wealth Chamber stayed.

Tens of meters from the Inn, they stopped, and a slight frown appeared on the young man's face.

Seeing this, the chief was puzzled.

Why are they stopping?

"Are you sure this is the location?" He asked, confusing the chief more.

"Yes, My Lord. This is the location."

"Interesting." He mused and continued flying toward the Inn.

Suddenly, an old man appeared before them.

Looking at the old man, the chief widened his eyes.

"T-This…!"

His heart skipped a beat.

For anyone that could fly, it only meant one thing—a Golden Core expert.

How is this possible?

The highest warrior among them was just at the Peak of Core Refining realm.

Without caring about the town chief, the young man looked at the old man and asked arrogantly,

"Are you the one going against my clan?"

Elder Zhao stared at him without uttering a word. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

He was the supreme elder of the Dust Valley Sect, and exchanging meaningless words with a brat from an ancient clan was beneath him.

With Elder Zhao's silence, the young man couldn't help but chuckle in contempt.

"I guess because you've managed to break through to the Golden Core realm, you think you can challenge me."

"Tsk! Frog at the bottom of the well."

Listening to his shenanigans, Elder Zhao was already impatient.

Whoosh!

He unsheathed his sword, and bright light illuminated everywhere, and those below noticed their presence.

"What! Look up!"

"The ancient clan has sent their expert, but who is the old man?"

"Don't tell me the merchant had a Golden Core expert among them."

While the people on the ground were grappling with the presence of Elder Zhao—

Elder Zhao had already attacked.

Slash!

"Heavenly Dust Slash."

A frightening sword light appeared in the sky, cutting everything in its path.

Instantly, the young man felt all the hair on his body stand on end, and his instinct screamed of impending danger.

He dropped the town chief and hastily brought out his weapon—a saber—and took a defensive stance.

Bang!

Ahhhhh!

Elder Zhao had killed a stage 2 Golden Core expert with two slashes. What about a mere stage 1 Golden Core expert?

The young man was sent flying for hundreds of meters, with his soul-rending scream reverberating throughout the Red Stone Town.

Everyone in the town watched the battle with their jaws dropped.

The young man crashed heavily into a building on the ground.

The three-story building was split apart from the residue of the attack.

Lying on the ground, a sharp cut appeared on the young man's chest, but the inner armor saved his life.

Only for the moment.

Fear and regret etched on the young man's face. He could not understand where such a terrifying expert came from.

From the sky, Elder Zhao descended without any change in his expression.

"D-don't kill me… if you kill me, my ancient clan will hunt you down and everyone you care about." The young man said confidently.

"Fool!" Elder Zhao sneered at his foolishness.

Slash!

The young man only saw a flash, with his face still covered in shock, but his body had already been separated into two.

Till death, he never thought an unknown stage 1 Golden Core expert would dare to kill him.

Without sparing his dead body another glance, Elder Zhao left the scene and walked in a particular direction.

Unknown to everyone, the Red Stone Town was silent as a graveyard when they saw the expert from the ancient clan killed in less than two strikes.

The bustling street was empty, everyone hiding behind closed doors.

In the distance, the town chief had just managed to recover from the sudden fall.

His face was covered in bruises and his expensive robe torn in many places.

He wanted to curse the young man but refrained from it.

"I guess he must have killed that old man." He chuckled and dusted off dirt from his robe.

'Humph! This is the fate of anyone who dares to go against me.' He grinned and raised his head, ready to meet the young master.

Standing a couple of feet from him was Elder Zhao, staring directly into his eyes.
