Inside the partition, Yu Qiang looked respectfully at the antique box in front of him, his face filled with shock!
He had already checked the antique before, and it did not have many rustic Qi Force fluctuations, which was not what he desired.
But when the box was brought back a second time, a mysterious pattern had appeared on it.
The pattern was indeed the secret command of the Tianji Pavilion Master!
Before the Old Pavilion Master’s disappearance, his last order was for Yu Qiang to wait for the arrival of the new Pavilion Master in Cloud City.
Yu Qiang had been waiting here for nearly twenty years!
And now, the Pavilion Master’s command had appeared once again.
Did this mean a new Pavilion Master had emerged?
As the head of the most powerful Assassin Hall within Tianji Pavilion, although the Old Pavilion Master had been missing for many years and internal strife ensued, the Assassin Hall under Yu Qiang’s control remained unchaotic and did not align with any faction.
Yu Qiang’s loyalty lay only with the Tianji Pavilion Master!
Before the antique was first brought in, there were no patterns on the box, yet when it was brought in a second time, the mysterious pattern was there… indicating that the pattern had been sealed onto it just moments ago.
The new Pavilion Master might be right outside in the reception hall! ƒrēewebnovel.com
Because this Tianji Pavilion command pattern could only be carved by the Pavilion Master himself and would not be passed on to any non-Pavilion Master.
Creak!
When the door was opened from outside, Secretary Zhang ushered in Su Yixue, Wang Fugui, along with Ye Fan, Yu Qiang quickly stood up and respectfully said, “President Su, my apologies for the negligence earlier!”
As he spoke, Yu Qiang’s sharp eyes swept across Su Yixue and the others.
Su Yixue had Martial Arts Qi of an Energy Transformation level and above, and the fluctuations were not strong as though she had just cultivated Martial Arts Qi, clearly not a likely candidate for Tianji Pavilion Master.
And Yu Qiang knew Wang Fugui, the eldest of the Wang Family in Cloud City, whose strength was already above Grandmaster level, a very respectable achievement indeed.
But with such talent and ability, Wang Fugui was still not quite ready to take control of the entire Tianji Pavilion.
That left only the young master of the Ye Family, Ye Fan, who was known to everyone as the fool of the Ye Family.
Since the age of five, Ye Fan had exhibited incredible Martial Arts talent, breaking through to Grandmaster level at fifteen and was even close to reaching Martial Venerable level strength.
Back then, Ye Fan’s exceptional talent indeed caught Yu Qiang’s attention. Experience new tales on
Based on the timing, Ye Fan’s rise coincided perfectly with the Old Pavilion Master’s disappearance. Yu Qiang had suspected that Ye Fan might have received the Old Pavilion Master’s inheritance, which explained his remarkable performance.
But just when Yu Qiang was about to investigate Ye Fan more deeply, Ye Fan had a car accident, became mentally handicapped, and lost all his abilities; hence, Yu Qiang ceased the investigation.
And now, Ye Fan had reappeared before Yu Qiang, accompanied by the Tianji Pavilion’s secret command.
Yu Qiang couldn’t help but suspect Ye Fan!
When Yu Qiang’s powerful Perception swept over Ye Fan, the first thing he felt was a profound, dense, and somewhat familiar Martial Arts Qi… It even gave the impression of Mount Tai’s overwhelming pressure coming at him.
“Martial Emperor Level?”
Ye Fan’s displayed strength was at least above that of a Third-Rank Martial Emperor, while Yu Qiang’s strength had only just broken through to the Martial Emperor level recently.
As Yu Qiang was about to delve deeper, a wave of immense mental power surged out, crudely forcing Yu Qiang to retreat a step against his will!
That mental force seemed to burn through to the very depths of Yu Qiang’s soul, causing his body to vibrate violently!
Yu Qiang knew that this was a warning from Ye Fan, indicating that his probing had gone too far and crossed a boundary.
But Yu Qiang was curious, if Ye Fan was the Tianji Pavilion Master and was already in a very lucid state, why did he still act like a fool?
However, since Ye Fan had arranged things this way, there must be a reason for it.
“Elder Yu, you’re being too polite! Yixue is very grateful that you could offer this quota to the Su Corporation, and I don’t know how to express my thanks!” Su Yixue looked at Yu Qiang with gratitude, but she was also genuinely curious. She had clearly handed the antique to Yu Qiang but it had been passed back to her.
Just by taking it back again, Yu Qiang had changed his decision. Why?
“President Su, no need to thank me! Didn’t you already give what you had to give? Like your husband said, the contents of the box aren’t important; the box itself is more precious than its contents!” While speaking, Yu Qiang glanced at Ye Fan, “President Su, if the Su Corporation ever needs this old man’s help, just say the word!”
“President Su, Young Master Wang, may I have a moment to speak with Young Master Ye alone?” Yu Qiang had mostly confirmed that the Tianji Pavilion Master was Ye Fan, but he needed to verify it once more.
“This…” Su Yixue looked at Ye Fan with some concern, while Wang Fugui was also on guard, “Elder Yu, isn’t that inappropriate?”
Wang Fugui knew that Ye Fan was still in a fool’s state and was always very attentive to Ye Fan’s safety.
Ye Fan knew that Yu Qiang wanted to speak with him in private, and Ye Fan also had some matters to explain to Yu Qiang.
After all, with Tianji Pavilion being such a massive organization, Ye Fan’s understanding of it was still very limited. Moreover, to truly control the Tianji Pavilion, relying on Ye Fan alone was clearly insufficient.
In order to seek revenge for the Ye Family, although he had the resources left by his mother, having the Tianji Pavilion on his side would definitely not be a mistake.
“Yixue, it’s okay, just wait for me outside… I can protect myself!” While speaking, Ye Fan reached out and gave Su Yixue a gentle tug.
Su Yixue was somewhat puzzled, but she sharply felt that Ye Fan seemed to have improved a lot compared to before, with his memory and intelligence recovering significantly. Perhaps letting Ye Fan interact more with others would be very beneficial to his recovery?
“Then, let’s go out, Fugui… Xiao Fan should be fine,” Su Yixue called out to Wang Fugui, nodded at Ye Fan, and quickly left the doorway.
Su Yixue didn’t know where her confidence came from, but she had great faith in Ye Fan. She believed that Ye Fan could handle everything and would definitely get better.
Just as Su Yixue and Wang Fugui left the front door, Yu Qiang made his move!
Thirteen throwing knives each with intense Qi Force, shot towards Ye Fan from eight tricky angles with incredible speed.
The sound of tearing through the air was so loud it seemed to split the void, emitting a vast wailing noise.
The mighty Qi Force Fluctuation showed that the throwing knives unleashed by Yu Qiang carried martial arts Qi that had reached the level of a Martial Emperor’s strength.
And he was using lethal moves from the start!
Ye Fan knew this was both a test and a deadly assault!
If he truly was the Tianji Pavilion Master, then he should be able to easily catch these knives. If he was not and was merely posing as the Pavilion Master, then Yu Qiang would indeed show no mercy and would slay him…
