The legendary warrior novel Chapter 97

On this day, the whole of Stone City was teeming with excitement.

This was due to the news that all the ten inferior branches of the Bloody Gang had inexplicably disappeared and disbanded.

The Bloody Gang ranked first among all other gangs that existed thousands of miles around Stone City, and its violent actions had gained notoriety. So the developments that had happened to it were not a secret.

These ten inferior branches not only comprised a quarter of the strength of the Bloody Gang, but also accounted for a third of the entire Gang's wealth and training resources.

Naturally, the high level branches of the Bloody Gang had burst into a rage, and they sent all their elite warriors to track down the one who was behind it all. To help them, the Nan Clan also lent many of their warriors.

The income of the Nan Clan had was directly dependent on the Bloody Gang, and so, the disbandment of the ten inferior branches also incurred great losses for them.

Unfortunately for them, they didn't manage to find the man behind it all.

And what was even worse was that all the surviving members of the ten inferior branches had already left the Stone City with all their money and treasures, which meant that a third of the Gang's capital had vanished overnight.

Ricky also knew all this of course, as he travelled incognito within Stone City. After hearing the news of the Clan and Gang's tragedy, he said to himself, "Bloody Gang, this is only the start. You will be punished even greater in the future.

And Gilbert, you will get what you deserve too."

With this, Ricky left the Stone City and came to a mountain range.

This mountain range was no ordinary one, but a place where the Nan Clan collected many of their medicinal materials. As the former young master of the Nan Clan, Ricky knew this place well.

He also knew that every few days the disciples of Gilbert would come here to collect a large number of medicinal materials. It would be the best time for him to carry out his plan.

After waiting for several days in this mountain range, he saw the disciples appear, bearing baskets and boxes.

Among these disciples, the highest level warrior was in the third grade of Blood Purification. Ricky smiled. It would be a piece cake for him to defeat them.

After they had collected the medical materials and were preparing to head back. Ricky put on a cloak, covered his face and rushed out, not giving them time to react. He injured many disciples and destroyed everything they had collected. He also laid waste to all the medicinal materials on the mountain.

With this, he turned his back and left the Stone City with satisfaction.

One day, he would definitely return. Because only by defeating Gilbert and Bloody Gang could he die in peace.

He could tell that it was also like an obsession in his heart. Only when it was completely eliminated could his cultivation reach even higher levels.

However, he didn't go home to the Snow Sect immediately. Instead, he went to the mountains where he hunted beasts at the intermediate stage of Blood Purification.

He broke through too fast with a still unstable foundation. He had to eliminate the hidden dangers that he had not given attention to in his breakthrough period. It was a life-and-death struggle for him.

Because of this, he had to constantly hunt the beasts in this month to practice and solidify his cultivation base.

Finally, he not only eliminated the hidden dangers, but also laid a solid foundation for having a breakthrough to the third grade of Blood Purification.

Even better, he mastered all Five Beasts Arts in this month, which only differed in the focus points of the varying animals. After that, his body at the Third Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula was consolidated and his fighting power was enhanced, which meant he could confidently fight with any warrior at the fifth grade of Blood Purification.

At the same time, he was ready to make an attack.

After three months of concentration, isolation and suffering, it was now enough for Ricky to reach the fourth grade of Blood Purification. It had been too long since his last breakthrough. If he kept on suppressing his real power, it might backfire any time soon, and that was definitely not what Ricky expected.

Thus, he carefully chose a hidden place and opened a hole in the mountain to start his cultivation.

Naturally, he quickly reached the fourth grade of Blood Purification from the peak of the third grade of Blood Purification.

The whole process only took three days and without any outside help. And this breakthrough he had reached was made under the most harmless and desirable conditions for warriors.

After staying in the mountain for several days while he was breaking through to the fourth grade of Blood Purification, Ricky was finally ready to return to the Snow Sect.

Now, he would be strong enough to fight with the warriors at the sixth grade of Blood Purification.

He knew this was important. It would not be easy for the Refinement Faction and the Casting Faction to push him around in the Snow Sect. Unless they sent out the warriors of the advanced stage of Blood Purification or the warriors of Bone Reinforcement, they wouldn't be able to intimidate him.

And if they sent warriors of this level, it would be enough reason for Grace to fight.

Ricky tamed a strong horse and began his journey home with his Iron Destroyer.

Five days later, he finally arrived.

He entered from the main gate of the Snow Sect.

Outside the gate, there were two outer disciples guarding in shifts. When Ricky arrived, the two disciples recognized him.

In principle, Ricky's strength had placed him at the top rank of the outer disciples. These two outer disciples should respectfully call him "Senior" when they saw him.

Even the disciples of the Casting Faction and the Refinement Faction should maintain their respect when they saw him.

However, he saw the contemptuous looks from the two disciples.

Their contemptuous glares were very obvious, fully visible on their faces. Ricky was reminded of when he came to the Snow Sect for the first time.

"What's going on here?" He murmured to himself. At the same time, an unpleasant feeling formed in the pit of his stomach.

With no hesitation, he rushed to his courtyard.

After he left, the two disciples sneered and said, "You will soon taste the pain."

And one of the disciples also left, to tip off the message of Ricky's arrival to those who hated him.

......

He ran all the way, feeling his footsteps getting heavier and heavier because of the bad feeling growing worse in the pit of his stomach.

And sure enough, he was stopped by three disciples halfway to his courtyard.

He knew them. They were all inner disciples. Mark was at the fourth grade of Blood Purification and came from the Casting Faction. The other two disciples were brothers: Phil and Larry, who were at the third grade of Blood Purification. They were members of the Refinement Faction.

"Step aside! You're in my way!" Ricky roared when he saw them blocking his path.

The disciples all gathered around him. They all looked at him contemptuously. Again, Ricky was reminded of when he came to the Snow Sect for the first time.

He guessed that Grace might have had an accident.

"Ha-ha, you have such a bad temper! It does really suit the strongest in the Snow Sect. Now you even don't respect us as your seniors when you see us." These three disciples jeered at him.

"Maybe, it's because he has a core master and also has innate spirit to support him!" Phil sneered.

"I don't think so. The back-up of the innate spirit has already disappeared. Now there is only one core disciple. Wait, what was her name again? Oh yeah, Ugly Grace she is," Larry said disdainfully.

When Ricky heard this insult, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano, rising instantaneously and spreading heat throughout his body and even into the air. The disciples around him could sense his anger.

"Slap yourselves for what you just said!" Ricky roared angrily at them.

"Oh? Ricky, you really freaked me out. Did I say anything that made you angry?" Larry said innocently with a mocking smile.

"What we're talking about is just 'Ugly Grace'..." Phil grinned.
