Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The New Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, Shocking News
“Who is there?”
The Paper Fan Young Master was also startled by the sudden sound, turning his head to look, only to see a young man with a Spirit Sword on his back and a middle-aged fat man with sparse hair standing not far away.
The two men stared straight at him, causing him to feel a bit creeped out.
The next moment, the Paper Fan Young Master had a premonition.
Staring at Zhu Yongfu, he said in a deep voice, “You are also a Prophet… no, you have only received the legacy!”
“You are a Prophet too?” Zhu Yongfu’s pupils shrank.
Next to them, Xiao Fangu, who carried the sword, also had a slight concentration in his gaze, his expression changing drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, the Paper Fan Young Master let out a cold laugh, the formidable presence of the Spirit Sea Realm exploding forth, instantly forcing Zhu Yongfu and Xiao Fangu to the ground.
“I hadn’t expected to encounter someone of the same kind who is also a Prophet, but since you’re not from the Prophet Clan, just an inheritor, you are my… servant!”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yongfu’s face turned ashen.
He had survived many dangers, only to end up being targeted by a member of the Prophet Clan, which was truly unfortunate!
Moreover, there was a high chance that he would become the other’s… servant?
The thought alone left Zhu Yongfu unable to cry.
“Tell me your origins.”
The Paper Fan Young Master looked coldly at the two of them.
Although he wasn’t present at the scene, he could guess that the Blood Demon Hall would surely be trampled by Ye Feng.
Adding to that the destruction of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, he had truly become a Bare-pole Commander.
Therefore, he needed to build a new force.
And now, Zhu Yongfu, who also knew how to use Evil Qi for divination, was clearly a qualified subordinate.
“Senior, don’t kill me, I am willing to tell you everything I know,” Zhu Yongfu said, seeking to protect himself by confessing the truth.
He revealed everything from his origins as Souhun Zhenren to receiving the Prophet’s legacy, and then to the subsequent encounter with Xiao Fangu and the establishment of the Tianji Pavilion.
“Tianji Pavilion?”
Hearing this, the Paper Fan Young Master closed his fan, a disdainful smile appearing in his eyes.
But soon, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
“What a Tianji Pavilion!”
“From today on, I, the Paper Fan Young Master, am the new Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion, and you,” he said, pointing at Zhu Yongfu, “will be demoted to a Steward.”
“Ah?” Zhu Yongfu was taken aback, his face filled with astonishment.
Xiao Fangu at the side was dumbfounded.
“Zhu Yongfu is demoted to a Steward, what about me?” he asked, swallowing hard with worry, fearing that the Paper Fan Young Master would kill him with a slap.
The Paper Fan Young Master looked at Xiao Fangu, a playful smile in his eyes.
“Xiao Fangu, I know of you!” he exclaimed, causing Xiao Fangu’s face to show surprise.
Only to hear the Paper Fan Young Master continue,
“I heard you were once a genius disciple of the Misty Sect and ended up being a turncoat, betraying your sect to join under the Qingyun Sect, and now, you have become one of us in the Tianji Pavilion; you might as well be called a thrice-defected servant.”
“You!”
Xiao Fangu felt demeaned and angry.
But upon meeting the sharp gaze of the Paper Fan Young Master, he immediately faltered, quickly lowering his head, not daring to argue.
“However, as a turncoat like you, from now on, you will stay within our Tianji Pavilion. After all, you are under our control, and even if you wanted to betray us again, you wouldn’t be able to.”
The Paper Fan Young Master spoke with an air of complacent ease.
“Thank you, Pavilion Master, for sparing my life!” Xiao Fangu, having escaped from death, quickly knelt down to thank him.
The Paper Fan Young Master waved his fan lightly and said,
“Let’s not bother with needless words. From now on, you are an Inner Sect Disciple of our Tianji Pavilion, and as of now, the only disciple.”
“On a daily basis, you will continue to stay at the Liuyun Sect and gather information about the righteous sects.”
“Do you understand what I, the Pavilion Master, am saying?” he asked.
“Disciple understands,” Xiao Fangu nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Yongfu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Xiao Fangu could stay instead of being executed; after all the time they had spent together, he was quite satisfied with him.
“Pavilion Master, how shall we develop the Tianji Pavilion from now on?” Zhu Yongfu approached the Paper Fan Young Master, bowing as he inquired.
The Paper Fan Young Master swayed his fan leisurely, sinking into thought.
A long while later.
He had an idea.
“If it’s Tianji Pavilion, then naturally it’s a mystical force that excels in divination.”
“First, we find a secret location, which will serve as the headquarters for Tianji Pavilion.”
“Then, we procure wounded Demonic Beasts through legitimate channels, to serve as the source of Evil Qi, ensuring our daily divinations proceed smoothly.”
“After that, we specialize in offering divinations for cultivators, making a hefty profit.”
“In this way, Tianji Pavilion can step back behind the scenes and gradually develop into a force capable of orchestrating the overall situation.”
At this point, Paper Fan Young Master suddenly looked toward the direction of Misty Sect, his words filled with icy coldness.
“And by that time, dealing with Misty Sect will be a piece of cake!”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yongfu and Xiao Fangu were emotionally stirred.
The three present were all enemies of Misty Sect, incompatible with the force like water and fire.
It could be said that they all had a common goal.
To overthrow Misty Sect!
…
Time flew by, and the next day arrived.
At this moment, Ye Feng was in the City Lord’s Mansion of Beiliang City, surrounded by Xu Dalei, Mu Sisi, and several tens of the earliest second-generation disciples.
City Lord Ding Cheng, Young City Lord Ding Qing, and many cultivators of Beiliang City, sat opposite.
“Thank you all for your hospitality. I’ve heard the upcoming ancestor worship in Beiliang City happens once every ten years, so I won’t impose any longer,” said Sect Master Ye.
After three rounds of drinks, Ye Feng stood up, “Next, I’m going to visit the remaining main cities of South Ming Country to recruit new disciples.”
Ding Cheng made a salute, “Then let me extend my early congratulations for everything to go smoothly for Sect Master Ye.”
“It will,” Ye Feng nodded.
He glanced at Xu Dalei and the other second-generation disciples, “You all participate in the ancestor worship activities first. After some time, I will come back.”
“Yes,” the disciples nodded in unison.
Swoosh!
The next moment, Ye Feng vanished into thin air.
“It’s instantaneous movement!”
“Truly worthy of being a Divine Origin Realm Great Power, so envious!”
Everyone looked on in amazement.
Divine Origin Realm, something that hadn’t appeared in South Ming Country for many years, to the extent that many had forgotten the terrifying power of a “Great Power.”
…
High in the sky.
Ye Feng looked at the map of South Ming Country and then flew toward “Zhongyuan City” located at the heart of the country.
Zhongyuan, Beiliang, Nanyan, East Wilderness, Siqi.
These are the five major cities of South Ming Country, each with a Spirit Sea Realm King in charge.
The one from Zhongyuan City had already reached the Peak of Spirit Sea, comparable to Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun before his breakthrough.
…
Misty Mountain Range.
Several figures hovered above, looking down at the razed Blood Demon Hall, noticing countless ruins scattered about.
“What… what happened?”
The leading Spirit Sea Peak expert widened his eyes in disbelief.
They were envoys from the Royal Capital of Mystique Kingdom, tasked with delivering the official invitation for the star raising ceremony to the Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall.
But who knew, upon their arrival, they found Blood Demon Hall annihilated!
“Look, there’s writing here!”
Someone spotted something.
The envoys hurriedly descended and landed in front of a cleft mountain wall, where they saw several lines written in blood.
“Blood Demon Hall brought calamity far and wide, harmed countless Furnace Cauldrons, its sins heinous and evil immense; thus I have annihilated it, let it be known!”
The last signature was “Misty Sect’s Ye Feng.”
“Ye Feng has annihilated the Blood Demon Hall!”
The envoys, seeing the vigorous writing, felt as if they could see a terrifying figure standing there, slowly turning its head to look at them with a mocking and chilling gaze.
“Run!”
The envoys were so frightened that they ran for their lives, feeling a chill down their spine.
Soon, explosive news spread throughout Mystique Kingdom.
The Three-Star Force, Blood Demon Hall, with several Divine Origin Realm Great Powers, was exterminated by Ye Feng from Misty Sect the day before.
Once the news broke, the entire country was shaken!
