The foot of the Sun Mountain was bearing witness to a lot of hustle and bustle right now.
Red flood-dragon horses, about a dozen in number, could be seen galloping from a mile away, swift as the wind. Before long, they reached the mountain and came to a halt in the blink of an eye. The man leading this company of horses was the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley, and his name was Dwayne.
The red flood-dragon horse was a rare saddle horse which had earned its name because its head resembled the flood dragon and its body looked like a horse. It could travel tens of thousands of miles a day and was originally a level three diabolic beast. People had managed to tame a number of them and now, they were used as saddle horses.
Evidently, a horse-like body didn't mean it being a horse, and the red flood-dragon horse, even with its equine body, was still so expensive that only very large sects could afford it.
Besides, not everyone had the ability to tame a level three diabolic beast.
Although there were a small number of red flood dragon horses in Sun Sect, they were reserved for the six Elders and the Sect Leader only.
Austin was not qualified to ride them, nor was anyone else regarding that, even though he had already become a principal disciple.
The horses had come near the Sun Mountain. Dwayne had mobilized half of the red flood-dragon horses in the Flaming Sun Valley in his search for the man who had killed his grandson.
The horses were quite conspicuous wherever the riders went and drew a lot of attention. Therefore, as soon as the company arrived at the foot of the Sun Mountain, the disciples guarding the door immediately noticed them and sprang to attention.
Still seated on his horse, Dwayne ordered them in a loud voice, "Go to Elder Jaime of your sect. Tell him that his old friend Dwayne is waiting for him."
The guards were surprised to know that their sect was being visited by people from the Flaming Sun Valley. The latter was quite famous and acknowledged to be far superior to Sun Sect itself. What business could these men have?
Also, there were a dozen men in the team, and each of them was riding a red flood-dragon horse. Clearly, they were very powerful and must have been famous in their own sect.
Thinking about all this, the guards didn't want to mess with the company and immediately sent the message he was ordered to.
After a short while, a short but shrewd old man with flashing eyes rushed out of the door to greet the company.
"Haha! Welcome! Dwayne, my friend! I'm so glad to see you! I can't believe you've come to our humble sect. What brings you here?"
The old man was one of the six prominent Elders of the Sun Sect, Jaime.
"Jaime, it's very nice of you to say so. I hear that the disciples in Sun Sect are quite extraordinary. Today, I have come here in person just to see how strong they really are."
It was about his tone that left Jamie flabbergasted.
"Dwayne, what do you mean? Has any disciple of the Sun Sect offended you or the Flaming Sun Valley? Just spit out his name! We have been friends for decades, and I will certainly not be partial to our disciples. I am not going to rest until you are satisfied. Just tell me what happened."
Dwayne was the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley and was extremely powerful. In fact, it was said that he could often influence the decision-making by the Valley Owner in the sect.
Jaime was a smooth and slick person. The man in front of him was famous and powerful, and he'd even kiss his ass if he had to. As for the disciples he had mentioned, he really didn't care who they were. There were tens of thousands of disciples in the Sun Sect, and it didn't matter if they lost one or two of them.
So as soon as Jaime heard Dwayne's words, he decided that even if the person his friend mentioned had done nothing wrong, he would still let him do whatever he wanted to. As far as he was concerned, he didn't want to anger Dwayne, even if it meant the sacrifice of one or two Sun Sect disciples.
Dwayne's face softened after he heard Jaime's reply.
"Huh, It's not that big of a deal. Is there an outer disciple named Austin in the Sun Sect?"
"Austin?"
Jaime was surprised when he heard the name. Of course there was an Austin!
