Chapter 144: The Power of the Treasure

"Congratulations, Master, on regaining your freedom!" Dongfang Jian bent at the waist in a bow, his expression one of deep respect.

"Good disciple!" Xiong Batian patted Dongfang Jian on the shoulder, "From now on, you are my disciple, Xiong Batian's only disciple! Follow me, and I'll let you enjoy the best of life! Once I become the Sect Leader, I'll make you an elder; you will be second only to me—incomparably honored!"

"Thank you, Master, for your cultivation." Dongfang Jian quickly expressed his gratitude.

"They're here." The smile on Xiong Batian's face slowly faded, replaced by a killing intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Who's here?" Dongfang Jian glanced around but saw no one.

"My old friends," Xiong Batian uttered indifferently.

"Shua shua shua..."

Off in the distance, over a dozen figures were quickly approaching.

"Gentlemen, long time no see!" Xiong Batian laughed heartily.
