Chapter 1 Lin Fan returns after rebirth

"There's news from Jianghai City."

"So what if there's news?"

Inside the red door, a white-haired young man sat in the office.

The office, located on the tenth floor, is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows.

The glass facing south, east and west is blocked by a layer of heat insulation, so whether it is the morning sun or the sunset, it becomes gentle when it shines in.

In the Hunan region, only the Red Gate dares to work on the tenth floor with floor-to-ceiling windows!

You know, the higher you are, the harder it is to escape, and you are more likely to be spotted by the weird things in the distance and become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Therefore, in today's human society, the floor you are on also represents your strength.

The fact that he could sit still as still as a mountain on the tenth floor was enough to show his status.

The Red Sect—the third sect master!

With three strange contracts, it is a terrifying existence that all forces dare not look directly at in the Xiang area.

To say that he is weird incarnate is no exaggeration.

His face was as cold as ice and his tone was bone-chillingly cold, which frightened the subordinate who delivered the message so much that his lips turned pale. However, he did not dare to turn around and leave, and could only stand there trembling.

"We, the Red Clothes Sect, are the emergency team in Xiangyu, and we have to be polite. A few months ago, I agreed to negotiate with Jianghai City, and they put on airs and left us alone for several months. Now, they just come back with a nonchalant statement and let me go along with them?"

As the name suggests, the Third Master is the third in command of the Red Gate.

The power of the Red Dress Sect spreads across half of the Hunan region. To put it in a broader sense, they are a group of humans, forming a counterbalance to the mountain of corpses of their generals and ministers.

Of course, the above statement needs to ignore some facts.

But it also shows that the third-in-command alone holds considerable power.

Having him come forward to have a conversation is the highest standard.

When the emergency team came to negotiate for the first time, they could only meet the five sect leaders.

Only after the highest leader of the Xiang Region was sent over could they meet with him, the Third Sect Master.

It can be seen that the Red Dress Gate showed enough sincerity to Jianghai City at the beginning.

As a force from the wide area, they also occupied their territory in Xiang area. Not only have they never been enemies with them, they have also given them the highest treatment.

Isn’t it true that harmony is the most precious thing?

This is what Jianghai City did in the end.

Several months were spent just saying that the boss was away.

"But Third Sect Master...last time, not only our Red Dress Sect, but also many small forces saw...the boss of Jianghai City came out of the Living City alive."

I was trembling with fear and didn't dare to offend either side.

As a qualified subordinate, never think that you should just foolishly carry out your orders just because your boss gets angry and says he won't see you.

If something really goes wrong, these subordinates will have to take the blame.

You have to think carefully about whether the other person is speaking in anger or is serious.

As expected, his reminder was met with silence from the Third Sect Master.

He stroked the strange contract in his hand, and various possibilities flashed through his eyes.

"No one knows what he was doing in the City of the Living. Maybe it was some kind of trick to deceive us. In fact, he didn't go in at all."

In his opinion, this was the most likely scenario.

Because there really are strange props that can confuse the naked eye.

By consuming an item, all the forces in the Xiang area will be afraid of Jianghai City. At the same time, it can also attract many small forces to join.

It has to be said that this is a plan where the benefits outweigh the costs.

For this, he admired the boss of Jianghai City.

But this is no reason to back off.

Respect is mutual. Your behavior is tantamount to a demonstration.

"No, even if Jianghai City uses this as an enemy of ours, let's show them what field advantage is!"

The Third Sect Leader slapped the armrest, and with a loud bang, a handprint was left on the armrest.

"The Third Sect Master..."

"Aren't you finished yet?"

The Third Sect Leader gave him a cold look, which frightened him so much that he leaned against the wall, secretly groaning inwardly.

Although the three masters of his own sect would not kill innocent people indiscriminately and would not involve their subordinates around them because of rage, the strange aura and inherent hostility of the three meant that not everyone could remain as calm as a rock in front of them.

Even this subordinate is a life-chasing level contractor!

"The information from Jianghai City said... their boss is coming over."

"Asshole, are we in the Red Sect afraid of him?"

The Third Sect Master became even angrier. The contracts on his back and hands seemed to be wriggling strangely, as if devouring his rage and enjoying the deliciousness of this sudden change of emotions.

"No matter how many people he brought, I will personally bring double the number and cover him!"

As he spoke, he stood up and grabbed the short blade wrapped in blood-red bandages beside him with one hand.

I want to let Lin Fan see what the Red Clothes Sect, one of the two major forces in Xiangyu, is!

"Just him."

"..."

The original anger solidified, and the hand that was tightly gripping the short blade relaxed slightly.

"He specifically said something."

The younger brother breathed a sigh of relief, "He said that he delayed the process for several months because his life was in danger, and he came to apologize in person today."

"..."

The third sect leader showed a hint of suspicion.

It's actually life-threatening?

This reason should be true, because even those who have broken the contract would not dare to come to the Red Gate alone.

A leader who founded Jianghai City and fought all the way from Guangyu to Xiangyu would never be so foolish as to think that he could single-handedly challenge the entire Red Clothes Sect.

This shows that the other party is very likely to be sincere.

If this is the case, if I were to lose my temper and refuse to show up, I would appear to be narrow-minded and petty.

Being looked down upon is a small matter, but being laughed at by the Red Dress Sect is a big deal.

After thinking for a while, the Third Sect Master waved and said, "Let's go. Since you are here alone, then you should stay fifty meters away from me. I will meet you alone!"

"Third Sect Master, no!"

The younger brother was shocked and shook his head.

The Third Sect Master is strong, but the other party is also the boss of a big force, and his strength is definitely not weak.

It is unwise to face him alone without knowing how many monsters he has contracted with and what the effects of his tricks are!

Once something goes wrong, these subordinates will be leaderless and very likely to be ambushed and swallowed up by the enemy.

Even though the Red Dress Sect still has one or two sect leaders, their influence is widespread and they won't be wiped out all at once.

But... Jianghai City has gained a piece of territory, which may turn the Hunan region into a three-way confrontation.

It’s no small matter.

"Oh, it's very dangerous, right? If the other party sets an ambush, maybe the territory I guard will change from Hongyimen to the shape of Jianghai City."

"Yes, I don't want to influence your decision, but your life is too important. Why don't you let me do it for you?"

I immediately volunteered, showing my loyalty.

But in fact, his family was under the protection of the Red Gate. If this place was captured, his family would most likely be affected.

Whether it is about loyalty or filial piety, we should stand up.

"Hahaha, what a joke! My life is nothing but a rotten life. You know, once people think they are valuable, they will breed many weaknesses."

The Third Sect Master walked past him, walked to the French window, and pushed it gently. The French window opened quietly. He stepped on his toes and fell vertically, leaving behind a sentence:

"The leader of the Red Clothes Sect is never worth money."

"And you are the true foundation of the Red Gate."
