Chapter 556

At dusk, a slanting ray of sunset light fell upon the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect, a castle–like structure with a solemn and lifeless appearance.

This castle–like building was indeed the dungeon of the former Phoenix Sect. Above its entrance hung a plaque with the blood–red word “Dungeon.”

Indeed, this was the location of the former Phoenix Sect’s dungeon.

Guarding the entrance on both sides were four sword–wielding martialists, all once members of the Phoenix Sect

However, now imprisoned within this dungeon were the four major sect masters – Jordan, Elijah, Alexander, and Bentley

For the guards at the dungeon’s gates, the identity of the prisoners, whether they were former sect masters of the Phoenix Sect or other sects, had ceased to be of significance,

The Phoenix Sect and the other three major sects had been absorbed into the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.

The fact that these sect masters were now inmates was just a memory for the guards, who harbored no nostalgia for the past.

Life moves on, and so must they

Even when the four sect masters were at the pinnacle of power, and their sects still existed, these guards had to live a life. They were ordinary people, and the fate of someone like Jordana high–profile figure, didn’t significantly impact their lives. Just as they did when Jordan was the sect master of the Phoenix Sect, these guards were tasked with overseeing the dungeon. Now that the Phoenix Sect had ceased to exist, merging into the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect, their duty remained the same. Thus, the plight of Jordan and the other three sect masters didnt really concern them, and their attitude was somewhat

indifferent

The sound of footsteps broke the silence. Darius arrived at the dungeon entrance, flanked by several martialists of the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect and accompanied by Cedric and three other young masters.

On seeing Darius, the guards stationed at the dungeon door immediately showed a respectful demeanor, bowing and calling out, “Mr. Abbott, you’ve arrived

Their respect for Darius was not without reason.

Besides Darius now being highly valued by Gilmore and appointed as the vice sect master, his unwavering loyalty and integrity within the Phoenix Sect had earned him widespread respect.

Darius nodded at the guards stationed at the dungeon. “By Mr. Reed’s order, I, along with the four young masters, have come to the dungeon for an urgent matter concerning Jordan and the other three sect leaders,” he said.

The guards immediately responded with politeness, “Mr. Abbott please come in!”

While they showed respect and politeness to Darius, they seemed to blatantly ignore Cedric and the other three young

masters

This was not only because the four major sects were now a thing of the past but also due to the young masters‘ arrogant demeanor, often looking down on the common martialists of the Phoenix Sect.

Darius, Cedric, and their entourage entered the dungeon
