Chapter 1149: 第1150章 來頭!(求推薦)
A martial artist at the middle stage of Myth Realm was someone that countless martial artists in the world of wanderers regarded as someone they could not hope to compare to. Many of the martial artists’ masters were even sect masters who were just between the middle stage or later stage of Myth Realm. Hence, all NPCs who were at the middle stage of Myth Realm or above would be idolized by countless people. All of them wished that they could get a quest from Myth Realm elites and obtain a miraculous chance.
Right now, there was one such elite in the hall of Dragon Gate Inn.
He was an old man. While he had ordinary looks, the presence he gave off was one that did not lose to a sect master at all.
No matter where he was, this sort of person would become everyone’s focus.
But when everyone, including Silver Wolf, instantly had their respect toward this elite who was at the later stage of Myth Realm to shock and curiosity towards the mysterious young man when they noticed that the Myth Realm elite was standing behind the youngster who looked like a young master of some family. The old man should have been proud of his status as someone in Myth Realm, but he currently had his back bent while he protected the young master.
Even though there was an increasing number of Myth Realm martial artists in the Chinese plains, the status of a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm was still incredibly high.
But now, an elite like this seemed to just be a servant and follower of a force of power. This made many people surprised, and at the same time, they wanted to know what sort of force could do something as flashy as this.
They, too, wanted to know just what sort of force of power could be shown such respect that they could have a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm protect one of its younger members.
Countless intense gazes were fixed on this group of people in Dragon Gate Inn.
Due to how intimidating the martial artist from the later stage of Myth Realm was, many of the players did not even dare to approach them to bother them. While they pretended to drink and chat, they had their ears perked up while they discreetly sized up the elderly and young.
“These two are not to be provoked.”
Silver Wolf observed them for a moment before he gave this conclusion. His grave expression and tone caused Knife, Bar, and Thunder to be slightly shocked.
“It isn’t that serious, right, Big Brother Silver Wolf?”
Knife looked in that direction again, and he lowered his voice, “These two appeared at Dragon Gate Inn at this moment, but they’re clearly not part of the plot in Dragon Gate Inn. I’m guessing that they might be related to the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn that had suddenly appeared.”
“That’s right.” Bar agreed. But he did not say those words using a private message. Those who were slightly stronger in the inn heard him.
At that moment, some people were tempted.
“I heard that the person who activated the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn has a mysterious identity. These people give off a noble air, and they don’t like merchants who appear often in West Region. I think they might be the ones who activated the quest…”

Thunder’s words were shocking.
Right when he finished speaking, Silver Wolf immediately noticed that the gazes of the people of at least ten tables turned intense. Some of them had even become restless, and they looked as if they were about to push down on their tables to take action. Silver Wolf frowned and smiled wryly, but he did not stop the trio from continuing with their act.
“Big Brother Silver Wolf, why don’t I go and try?”
“Don’t! That old man in the later stage of Myth Realm looks like the young master’s follower. If we go over recklessly, we might make them displeased.”
“What’s the point in all that worry? Riches will only come to you if you take risks! If you don’t even have that slightest bit of courage, how can you get the treasures in the palace in the desert?” While Knife and Thunder spoke, they became so agitated that they got up from their table.
But against their expectation, right when they got up, the people at a table near the elderly and the young in the inn were unable to suppress the desire in their hearts. They were the first to be unable to hold themselves back, and they walked over.
There were four people at the table, and they were the local players of West Region. The way they dressed was different from the Chinese players. They had their hands placed on their scimitars, and they came over because of the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn that had suddenly appeared. They had originally thought that the elderly and the young in the hall were unfathomable, and they gave off an unfriendly presence. These people did not dare to bother them, but they were tempted by Knife and Thunder, who said those words because they had ulterior motives, and they rushed to the fore to get to the elderly and the young.
When they saw that someone had taken action ahead of them, the players on the other tables in the inn got up. The group did not notice that Knife and Thunder, who had pretended to take action, had sat down.
Knife and the others had already achieved their goal.
In truth, they had been able to tell since a long time ago that while the elderly and the young had extraordinary presences, the old man in the later stage of Myth Realm seemed to sincerely respect and revere the young master.
Indeed, he respected him.
Hence, they made a guess. The youngster might not just be the direct disciple of an elite in the dao of heaven from some aristocratic family.
Just like Silver Wolf, they believed that the teenager was stronger than the old man, which was why they had intentionally used their words to provoke the players in the inn to have them test these two people’s strength.
And these people acted just like they expected they would.
“Stay where you are!”
Right when the four people from that table arrived near the elderly and the young, a cold glare flashed in the old man’s eyes. He did not seem to have moved at all, but he had already appeared like a phantom to block these four people. He was so fast that not only had he shocked these four players so much that they became frozen and were unable to move forward, at the same time, all the players and NPCs in the inn had their gazes trained on them.

“He’s so fast!”
“Those are great body movements.”
The black-clad Embroidered Uniform Guards who had entered the inn with Silver Wolf and the rest had shock appear on their faces at the same time. They looked at each other, and they saw shock and wariness in each other’s eyes.
There was a group of men dressed in Hu clothes at the east of the inn. They looked surprised as well, and they seemed to be shocked by the mysterious old man’s body movements. When they looked at the elderly and the young, their gazes became much more solemn.
The inn instantly turned silent.
Everyone held their breaths.
Only the extraordinary, white-robed teenager seemed to not have noticed the actions around him. He continued to lift his cup to his lips to drink.
Silver Wolf sat in front of his table and watched the mysterious old man and the young master’s reactions while he also paid attention to the reactions of the other people in the inn.
“Um… Senior, we’re sorry. W-We bear no ill will. W-We just thought that you gave off an extraordinary bearing, and we admired you, so we wanted to come and get to know you…”
The four players were already shocked by the strength displayed by the mysterious old man. They had cold sweat drench their backs, and when they spoke, they stuttered, “If we’ve offended you, please forgive us. W-We’ll go back now.”
They were not people who were unable to make judgments. At the moment the mysterious old man displayed his body movements, they realized that they had done something dumb.
While this person was an elite at the later stage of Myth Realm, his lightness skill was extraordinary, and it seemed to be above those at the peak of Myth Realm!
This discovery caused the group to be scared witless. They did not dare to cause any more displeasure to the mysterious old man, and they quickly apologized before they moved back.
The mysterious old man did not move. He watched the four people leave with a cold gaze. Only when the four people left his line of sight in a flurry did he turn around and walk back slowly to his young master. He lowered his head and said, “My apologies for the shock, master.”
Master?!
When he said those words, countless people in the inn sucked in sharp breaths.
Even Silver Wolf had his pupils shrink when he heard this, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.
What caused the people to be in even greater disbelief was the young master’s reaction. He waved his hand dismissively, and the mysterious old man who had shown extraordinary strength took a step backwards in a respectful manner to return to his original position. He did not move and continued with his duty as a guard.
Their positions as master and servant became even more obvious.
“Hiss…”
“Just who is he?”
“What background does he have?”
The atmosphere in Dragon Gate Inn became even stranger.
Many people averted their gazes. They only sized up the elderly and the young from discrete positions.
At that moment, the door Dragon Gate Inn used to block the sand from entering was suddenly kicked open. The door was flung open, and violent wind instantly gushed in.
Whoosh!
The wind came blowing at the players’ faces, with sand mixed in it.
The customers near the door instinctively cursed.
“Damn it!”
“Ack! Who the heck…?!”
“The heck! So unlucky!”
“I can’t drink this wine anymore!”
The customers who were the closest to the door all seemed to be NPCs. They slammed their tables and got up angrily. One of the men had his face covered in sand, and in his anger, he drew his scimitar before he jumped towards the door.
But before he could fly off into a rage, the person who kicked the door open had already strode into the inn.
“Hmm?”
When he noticed a scimitar swinging at him, the person did not panic. He let out a cold huff and attacked with his fists. They were like steel, and he seized his attacker’s scimitar with his fingers.
When the attacker had his weapon seized, he felt as if something had clamped down on his scimitar. No matter what he did not, he could not pull it back. The attacker’s expression changed drastically, and he knew that he had run into someone powerful this time.
At that moment, the gazes of the wanderers in the inn were gathered at the door.
Silver Wolf noticed the person was a Lama dressed in the red robe of a Buddhist. When he touched the weapon once more, his palms turned gold, and they caused a metallic clang when he touched the weapon.
Bang!
The attacker was in trouble.
Not only was his weapon seized, the Lama used the momentum to push his palm on his chest. In an instant, he sent that person flying, and a terrifying trail of blood flew in the air.
“Brother Ma!”
“You evil monk, you’re asking for death! Brothers, attack him together!”
When the other wanderers who shared a table with him saw that their companion’s fate was unknown, the sounds of their weapons being drawn rose nonstop. Then, with the shadows and bright flashes from their weapons, they attacked the Lama.
However, another red figure shot into the inn from outside.
There were now two Lamas!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
These two people attacked with their fists and kicks at the same time. In an instant, they managed to defeat those eight people, and they sent them sprawling on the floor.
These two Lamas might have attacked violently, but no lives were lost. Once they defeated these people, they stopped attacking them. They pushed their palms together and stood by the sides of the door to put on a welcoming posture.
A man with a few braids in his hair and in the attire of a barbarian walked in with an arrogant look. There were around ten red-clad Lamas following him.
When they saw this, the players in Dragon Gate Inn had their expressions turn stiff.
They could already tell that the two red-clad Lamas who attacked just now were at the middle stage of Myth Realm, and now, more than ten red-clad Lamas had suddenly appeared.
They did not know the identities of the barbarians who walked among them, but they were putting up a huge front by bringing so many guards in their trip.
In the beginning, they saw Embroidered Uniform Guards protecting the elderly and the young. Then, they saw a mysterious young master who had an elite at the later stage of Myth Realm serving as his follower. Now, a group of red-clad Lamas at Myth Realm showed up.
Silver Wolf and his party sucked in a sharp breath.
At that moment, they knew somewhat that the legend of the palace in the desert and the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn might be real!
