Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Be careful
Olivia was discussing the charitable acts of the Blackwood family, which left the disciples of the Azure Cloud Pavilion exchanging puzzled looks.
Frank scoffed coldly, interrupting Olivia, "The great leader of Dawn comes to our Azure Cloud Pavilion to speak of these deeds? The Blackwoods have done good, but which clan or family under the heavens hasn't?"
Olivia ignored Frank's remark. She detailed the benevolent deeds of the Blackwoods and then said, "The Blackwoods should be a family of great virtue, which is why I left and have not returned for a long time. I have committed many wrongs in my life, probably too many to contribute any virtue to my family."
"At that time, I felt that I should die outside, to avoid bringing calamity to my family that has accumulated great virtue over a century."
"But then..." Olivia sighed deeply, "Old Pig Pete died."
"It turns out my father was always wrong; great kindness does not receive good rewards. People like you, who are high and mighty, seem like gods. The Sky Sect and the Xuanwu Gate commit atrocities without retribution.
Old Pig Pete never committed great atrocities in his life, only killing a hundred Psychics who invaded the Silver Iron Forest, yet he was tortured to death by Elder Elizabeth of your Azure Cloud Pavilion."
"Actually, when Lord Stephen left, you released Elizabeth and Elder Felix, and I was relieved."
"This has taught the people of Blackwood a lesson. What kind of Heaven? It's blind. We Blackwoods will be the heaven of Cloudview County."
"Spring is coming."
Olivia's voice was calm, causing a change in the expressions of everyone at the Azure Cloud Pavilion.
What audacity!
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded.
With a casual wave of her hand, Olivia changed the seasons; the ice and snow melted, dead branches bloomed, and a light rain fell!
Frank exclaimed in shock, "Wenxiu? Words become laws, what kind of Wenxiu is this?!"
This was a heavenly tribulation suppressed by some unknown force of the literary path, ready to descend whenever Olivia wished.
His words had barely finished when a Psychic flew in on a sword from outside the Azure Cloud Pavilion, not caring about the sudden spring weather, and hurriedly brought news: "Bad news, Lord! At the foot of our mountain, a man named George has set up an altar and then stormed into our martial hall, slaughtering our disciples!"
"What?!"
The elders of the Azure Cloud Pavilion were furious.
Then, paper cranes, Energy Stones, and other items arrived one after another with more news.
"Lord, it's the Valley of Healers! The Sword King with the third generation of Blackwoods, those seven demons, are attacking the Valley of Healers, asking for our support!"
"Crystal River County's Hernandez family is asking for help! The ancestor of the psychic puppets, with dozens of psychic puppets and many zombies, has invaded!"
"The enchantress Luna and Mary, along with the Beast King Larry, are leading thousands of beasts to attack the Hundred Tools Sect, Lord, they are asking for help from the nearest Sky Sect!"
"Pale River County..."
One piece of news after another reached the Azure Cloud Pavilion.
Frank was overwhelmed, looking at the changing weather and the old lady sitting calmly in her wheelchair, feeling the sweat on his back.
In an instant, he realized the significance of the Blackwood's targets.
Valley of Healers, the Hernandez family, and the Hundred Tools Sect... these places are where the Azure Cloud Pavilion can provide rapid support.
They are also located far from the powerful sects and noble families, and even for a Developing Skill expert, it would take half a day to provide support.
Now is the best time to send disciples to support these areas and deal a heavy blow to the Blackwood family.
However, he is well aware that this is a targeted operation against the Azure Cloud Pavilion!
If the Azure Cloud Pavilion does not provide support, their reputation will be severely damaged.
If the Azure Cloud Pavilion does go to provide support... it won't just be a matter of losing face.
With Olivia's heavenly tribulation descending, that's the power of Competence, and the Azure Cloud Pavilion's protective great formation would be as good as non-existent. The entire Azure Cloud Mountain would suffer the baptism of the thunder tribulation!
He is even afraid now that this reckless and malicious woman might rush into the Azure Cloud Pavilion!
Frank glares angrily at Olivia. Olivia grips the handles of her wheelchair, her head held high and eyes squinting towards the high and mighty Psychics of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, revealing a gentle smile.
"You can't go anywhere."
"After today, the reputation of the Azure Cloud Pavilion will be in ruins, and my Blackwood will be the sky of this Cloudview County. Everyone will know that it was the Azure Cloud Pavilion that brought disaster to the entire Cloudview County just to save one Elizabeth."
"But don't worry, elders, I, Olivia, cherish my life, and you cherish yours too. Today is not the day for the Azure Cloud Pavilion to perish."
"In the past, you Azure Cloud Pavilion watched as Elizabeth caused trouble; today, you should watch as my Blackwood causes trouble."
"In the past, you protected Elizabeth, but whether it's today or in the future, in front of us Blackwoods, none of you can protect her."
"This is the price you have to pay."
Upon hearing this, Frank furiously destroys all the intelligence reports. Suddenly, he is no longer angry. He looks up to the sky, inhaling the fragrance of flowers that permeates the air as the seasons change around Olivia, and he sighs deeply.
"I'm old, it's time to step down as the sect leader."
Upon hearing this, the elders behind him frown deeply and take a step back. Their eyes flicker; they feel it. From today onwards, the Azure Cloud Pavilion can no longer hold itself above others. The fear brought by Blackwood slowly creeps into their hearts.
[Olivia's celestial tribulation is imminent, with the power of all four seasons manifesting. Such an act challenges the very laws of nature, and the heavens are furious!]
"Phew, lucky for us the elders at the Azure Cloud Pavilion are too fond of their own lives."
Watching the scene unfold from winter to spring within the bounds of Azure Cloud Mountain, even the Sky Sect from top to bottom stepped back at the sight of the celestial thunder, Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For seven years, he and Olivia had been plotting!
This entire operation was premeditated, meticulously planned in every aspect.
One of its purposes.
Was to bring the Azure Cloud Pavilion to its knees, to tarnish its reputation. What use are memories of Cloudview County, rotten memories, memories of cowardice? Are they even memories at all?
This is the price that the Azure Cloud Pavilion has to pay now!
Olivia, alone, used her impending tribulation as leverage, intimidating the entire Azure Cloud Pavilion so much that the Developing Skill elders didn't dare step outside their temple gates!
"Forebearer, there are still more traces of Developing Skill within the Azure Cloud Pavilion."
Olivia continued to stare emotionlessly at the Azure Cloud Pavilion, gently stroking her cards and whispering softly.
Meanwhile, the Psychics of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, who had previously soared through the skies on their swords, now hid back inside under the orders of their leader, Frank, and were constantly on alert for Olivia. With the situation as it was, if Olivia took even one step forward, the disciples of the Azure Cloud Pavilion would scatter to the winds.
[Be careful.]
Ethan left these two words on the cards.
"Yes, Forebearer, if they act rashly, the child is not foolish; fleeing is the option."
Olivia merely smiled lightly.
[Forebearer sends warmth x2]
