The Yinlou Pavilion was mysterious, and its master was even more so.
Even a powerful figure like Bai Yun Kong had only seen him from afar once, an old man on the verge of dying.
From what was known so far, the owner of the Yinlou Pavilion had always appeared as a frail old man. Those who knew of him would secretly refer to him as the Undying Elder!
“The master of Yinlou Pavilion is not to be underestimated. I don’t mean to belittle you, my young friend, but I doubt you can handle him with your current strength,”
spoke Bai Yun Kong seriously.
“No problem. Even if I’m not his match now, he cannot kill me. Within one month, I will be able to kill him,”
said Xu Yan, brimming with confidence.
Bai Yun Kong twitched his mouth, within a month he could kill the master of Yinlou Pavilion?
Did that mean he could also kill Bai Yun Kong in one month?
From where did he get such confidence?
However, Bai Yun Kong did not think Xu Yan was arrogant. Indeed, Xu Yan had never been arrogant. Everything he said was always the truth.
The more Bai Yun Kong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
He felt like his decades of cultivation had been futile.
Look at Xu Yan, his strength improved as easily as eating and drinking.
His first time at the Seven-star Study Palace, he’d barely been the match of an entry-level Great Grandmaster.
However, not many days had passed and he’d already exploded a Great Grandmaster in strength!
How long had it been since then? He’d killed several peak Great Grandmasters already, in one more month, Bai Yun Kong himself would not be his match!
How monstrously talented could one be!
“Palace Master Bai, do you know what the goal is of Yinlou Pavilion?”
Xu Yan curiously asked.
What was Yinlou Pavilion after that they would spare no effort to capture his Junior Sister?
A deep grudge?
Was it related to his Junior Sister’s origin?
“I don’t know, the Yinlou Pavilion has always been a mystery. This is the first time they have acted so openly,”
Bai Yun Kong shook his head.
At that moment, a carrier hawk landed.
Bai Yun Kong took a look at the letter and announced, “Leng Qiu, a disciple from Sword Dao Cliff, wants to meet with you outside the Study Palace. He seems quite anxious. Would you like to see him?”
Xu Yan hesitated, thinking that if there wasn’t an urgent matter, Leng Qju wouldn’t be so anxious to see him. Therefore, he stood up and said, “Then I’ll take my leave. Have the Martial Arts scholars find an opportunity to wait for me on Canglan Island.”
“Alright!”
Bai Yun Kong gave his agreement.
Outside the Seven-star Study Palace, Xu Yan saw Leng Qju, whose Sword Dao had made tremendous strides since the last time he’d given him pointers.
“What did you urgently want to see me about?”
Leng Qju handed him a letter and said, “This is Brother Xie’s letter, he asked me to deliver it to you.”
Xu Yan opened the letter and his eyes immediately turned cold. The Great Yue Kingdom was really audacious! Although Tianbao Pavilion had not taken any actions, they seemed to be waiting for the right time.
They seemed to be waiting for Chang Qjng Pavilion to call for help.
“Thank you.”
Xu Yan bowed his fist.
He had to return to Iron Mountain County to deal with the impending crisis. Since the Heavenly Cloak Guard of the Great Yue Kingdom had come here once, then the other powers would gradually notice the location of Chang Qjng Pavilion.
Although the Heavenly Cloak Guard was exterminated, the Great Yue Kingdom wouldn’t just let it go.
As one of the three biggest countries in the Inner Domain, both its foundation and strength were extremely strong.
Xu Yan found Meng Chong in the Repository Pavilion, and the two immediately embarked on their journey back to Iron Mountain County.
In the Imperial City of the Great Yue Kingdom, inside the royal study, the Great Yue Emperor looked grim.
All of the Heavenly Cloak Guards that were dispatched were exterminated without exception. Judging from the information gathered, besides Hu Hai from Sword Dao Cliff who killed the Great Grandmaster, the rest of the Grandmaster Martial Artists were all killed by powerful figures inside Chang Qjng Pavilion.
“Sword Dao Cliff!”
The Great Yue Emperor’s eyes turned dark.
“Do they think my Great Yue Kingdom is easy to bully?”
Though Sword Dao Cliff was unparalleled in strength, the Great Yue Kingdom wasn’t weak either. Besides, Sword Dao Cliff had numerous forces to fend off, and wouldn’t rush to declare war on the Great Yue Kingdom.
“Issue a decree to the Dukes Pan, Zheng, Hong, and Ma, to jointly block the strongmen of Sword Dao Cliff from going to Lanping County, to show the attitude of my Great Yue Kingdom;
“Issue a decree to the Great Commanders of the Heavenly Cloak Guard and Heavenly Imperial Guard, to lead the elites and head to Lanping County immediately, waiting for further orders.
“Give an order to the Divine Halberd Army to go to Lanping County and seal off Iron Mountain County.”
The Great Yue Emperor angrily commanded.
The Heavenly Cloak Guard and the Heavenly Imperial Guard were the two strong guard units of the royal family.
As for the Divine Halberd Army, it was the Kingdom’s national defense force, and the minimum cultivation level required to join was Black Iron tier.
The Imperial City of the Great Yue Kingdom was shaken, and many officials were horrified. Why was the Great Yue Emperor suddenly mobilizing the Divine Halberd Army, and why were the Heavenly Cloak Guard and the Heavenly Imperial Guard also mobilizing their elites?
Of the five Dukes, four are showing their attitudes towards Sword Dao Cliff.
Soon, the news had spread that Chang Qjng Pavilion was located in Iron Mountain County in Lanping County while the Heavenly Cloak Guard had failed to successfully requisition the Chang Qjng Pavilion in the first attempt.
The various Great Yue Kingdom families were sending out their strongmen to participate in this operation, which the Great Yue Emperor allowed.
What it meant to integrate Chang Qjng Pavilion, they understood. Once successful, the strength of the Great Yue Kingdom would skyrocket.
With just a few dozen to a hundred years of accumulation, they would probably have the strength to unify the other two countries and rule the Inner Domain!
When the Great Yue Kingdom’s elite forces were mobilized, the Great Yue Emperor personally visited Tianbao Pavilion.
“Will your Pavilion intervene this time?”
The Great Yue Emperor directly questioned.
A strongman from Tianbao Pavilion smiled and said, “Our Tianbao Pavilion only does business and does not intervene in the power struggles of the Inner Domain, just like when the Kingdom was established and collapsed, we did not intervene.”
“Really not intervening?”
The Great Yue Emperor looked directly at him.
The importance of the Essence Qj Pill was self-evident, would Tianbao Pavilion truly not be moved?
“Our Tianbao Pavilion has principles. Unless the other party joins our Tianbao Pavilion and becomes a member of our Tianbao Pavilion, we won’t lift a finger. Your Majesty can rest assured,” he replied..
