The legendary warrior

In the entire Five-element Region,

the Nether Water Saint was regarded as one of the strongest saints in their records.

Moreover, he was also tasked as the vice leader of the Five-element Sect's water branch. The Five-element Sect had no leader for a long time, and this was one of the main reasons why the sect had been divided into various branches. Due to them being leaderless, the leaders of the sect's branches took the initiative and all appointed themselves as the vice leaders of their respective branches.

Meanwhile, upon seeing the Nether Water Saint, everyone in the surroundings stood up straight and bowed. Lining up in straight rows, they greeted respectfully, "Greetings, sir!"

It was said that no matter how powerful a spiritual emperor was, he was obliged to lower his head in front of a saint because clearly, he didn't have the strength to provoke him.

"Master!" Raylan greeted with utmost respect.

"Nice to see you, sir!" Ashley said. The Nether Water Saint was, in fact, as old as Wood Saint. Therefore, Ashley found it deemed necessary to return the respect.

On the other hand, Ricky also bowed and greeted the saint, showing nothing but admiration and respect. It did not matter to him if a saint held a different stance from him in terms of martial arts, for he revered and honored every saint.

"Hmm." The Nether Water Saint nodded as a reply to the warriors around him. He might be very powerful, but he was never arrogant to anyone.

Not long after, he ordered the warriors around him in a very soft voice, "Everyone, this is the internal affairs of the Five-element Sect. Please give us a moment of privacy."

"Yes, of course, sir!" Without wasting any time, everyone left no matter how curious they were about what would happen next.

"Sir,

your presence is unexpected," Ashley said to the Nether Water Saint as soon as the warriors left.

"Stop fooling around, Ashley. You very well know why I am here. A genius like this young man who was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor deserves my attention and I'll try my best to keep him in our branch." The Nether Water Saint cast a humble smile in front of Ashley.

"Ricky, do you understand what I mean?" he then asked Ricky.

"Certainly!" Ricky nodded as a reply.
