Chapter 437 The Mysterious Shadow Gate

Not only did Gilbert have nothing to brag about his trip to Southlake City, but it even resulted

in a severe loss.

Everyone in Shadow Gate had to

abide by strict rules. Even though Gilbert was an elder, he

would still be punished for failing in his mission.

Thinking about Shadow Gate’s chilling punishment methods made Gilbert shudder.

Of course, he dared not defect either. Shadow Gate killed all of its defectors without exception.

It wouldn’t be a quick death, either. The defector would be tormented to no end first.

Instead of fleeing in fear, it was better for Gilbert to face reality.

After glancing at the buildings just up ahead, he shook his head and approached them.

The buildings were so well–concealed among the mountain terrain that it would be hard for ordinary people to locate them.

Gilbert made his way through the bushes that were nearly six feet tall before arriving in front of a stone entrance.

He placed a round pendant into a dip in the stone entrance, and it slowly opened with a rumble.

Two figures abruptly shot out..

“Who are you? Identify yourself!” the men in masks demanded.

They were the guards stationed at the entrance, but despite merely being guards, they were both eternal grandmasters.

One could imagine just how powerful Shadow Gate was when even their guards were eternal grandmasters.

No one would’ve expected them to be hidden deep in the forest. As it was, ordinary people would never be able to find them.

Many forces in the martial arts world wanted to take down Shadow Gate, but no one knew the location of its base.

Over time, they grew wary of Shadow Gate.

“You bastard! Don’t you recognize me?” Gilbert fumed. He was already in a foul mood, and these two guards aggravated him further by standing in his way.
