Chapter 621: Master of the Elixir Cauldron Sect

“Who are you people?” The man in black coldly stared at the strangers who had suddenly appeared, his voice tinged with wariness.

“We are looking for someone; it’s none of your concern,” one of them arrogantly replied.

Upon hearing this, the man in black frowned slightly. He sensed the powerful aura emanating from this group, knowing they were not ordinary individuals.

“This is the territory of the Elixir Cauldron Sect. No one is permitted to trespass without the sect’s authorization,” the man in black stated gravely.

“The Elixir Cauldron Sect?” The arrogant man scoffed. “We aren’t here to visit; we’re here to find your sect master!”

At these words, the man in black’s expression instantly changed.

“Impudent! How dare you think you can just meet the sect master?” the man in black roared, spiritual energy surging around him.

“Hmph, overestimating yourself!” The man snorted coldly, and a massive pressure instantly enveloped the man in black. The man in black felt his body sink, his knees nearly giving way. His heart pounded with alarm; this pressure far exceeded that of any powerful expert he had ever encountered.

“Who exactly are you?” the man in black gritted his teeth, his face pale, as he demanded.

“You are not yet qualified to know who we are,” another man stepped forward, holding a long sword, its tip pointed directly at the man in black. “Tell your sect master that an old friend has come to visit!” The man’s voice was not loud, yet every word resonated with an undeniable authority.

The man in black felt his throat go dry. He knew that today, the Elixir Cauldron Sect was likely facing a monumental upheaval. He took a deep breath, steeling himself, and with difficulty, managed to say, “Please... please wait a moment. I will go report to the sect master immediately.” With that, he turned and stumbled away.

The group did not pursue him, but stood silently in place, their gazes deeply fixed on the depths of the Elixir Cauldron Sect.

“Brother, why didn’t we just break in?” one person asked, puzzled.

“This is the Elixir Cauldron Sect, after all; we should still show them some respect,” the leading man said indifferently, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. “Besides, our old friend must be getting impatient.” A slight smile played on his lips, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

A storm was about to descend upon the Elixir Cauldron Sect.
