A series of clanging noises rang out as several Saint treasures and storage treasures fell onto the ground.
All of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts, including Yu Jun, had been reduced to ashes and erased from the world.
Liu Qingyan dazedly stood there for a long time before she suddenly raised her head, revealing limpid eyes filled with astonishment.
She asked, "Elder, who exactly are you?"
Lin Xun knew that Liu Qingyan must have grown suspicious, which gave him a headache. He said, "Miss Qingyan, I merely never intended to reveal my strength."
Liu Qingyan shook her head. "My Master said that Elder Yu Xuan only has Saint-King cultivation, which means he can't possibly kill a supreme Saint-King as easily as you did..."
At this point, she seemed to realize something and couldn't help but add, "Could the Primordial Dao Court experts have also been killed by…"
Before she could finish, Lin Xun came clean, "That's right, I did it."
A dazed look emerged in Liu Qingyan's eyes as she said, "If you truly are Yu Xuan, how could you possibly dare to kill experts from the Primordial Dao Court…besides, the real Yu Xuan would never go so far for me…"
She was clearly trying to calm herself but failed because the shock was too great."Miss Qingyan, you only need to know that I will never hurt you."
Lin Xun inwardly sighed.
He could vaguely sense that Liu Qingyan had already guessed some of the truth.
After a long while, Liu Qingyan finally nodded. With bright and clear eyes, she stared at Lin Xun and declared, "Elder, I trust you."
Lin Xun secretly heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "That's good."
As Liu Qingyan recalled the recent events, she worriedly asked, "Elder, now that you've also killed so many Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts, what should we do next?"
Lin Xun nonchalantly answered, "We'll deal with them when they come."
Since things had already fallen through, there was nothing left but to duke it out if the worst happened.
On the wall in the distance, the hemp-clothed youth clicked his tongue and sighed. "I've seen people going to their deaths, but I've never seen anyone in such a hurry to die."
It seemed that he had already guessed the outcome.
Soon after, the hemp-clothed youth couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile. "Oh, you'll be exposed this time for sure, brother. Wouldn't that mean the entertainment has only begun?"
……
As time passed, the atmosphere in Cuiyun Pavilion grew increasingly stifling.
There was still no news from Yu Jun, causing Jintian Qi's and the other Jintian Clan members' expressions to gradually darken.
Was this how the Heavenly Sound Pavilion treated their guests?
It was simply too much!
On the other hand, Wu Yunlian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She inwardly grumbled about how long it was taking to deal with a mere Saint-King.
She couldn't help but become nervous as she observed Jintian Qi's and the others' expressions grow increasingly ugly.
"Bad news, Senior Sister Wu. Teacher-Uncle Yu Jun and the others haven't been seen since entering Junior Sister Qingyan's courtyard!"
Suddenly, a profusely sweating Heavenly Sound Pavilion disciple rushed over with a flustered look. "I suspect…that they might have encountered an unexpected incident!"
"What?"
Wu Yunlian abruptly stood up abruptly as her expression fluctuated indeterminately.
Pah!
A Jintian Clan member threw his cup onto the ground, smashing it to pieces. He displayed a sinister expression and sneered. "Good, Liu Qingyan. To think that she would stir up so much trouble just because we wanted to meet her. She's clearly looking down on us!"
Wu Yunlian and the other Heavenly Sound Pavilion disciples couldn't help but panic as they hurriedly stood up.
"Everyone, I…"
Just as Wu Yunlian tried to speak, Jintian Qi interrupted her and coldly said, "Our Ancestor told us not to cause trouble earlier today so I won't argue with you. However, you must hand over Liu Qingyan!"
The other Jintian Clan members immediately chimed in, "That's right, how dare that shameless bitch turn her nose up at us? How can our Jintian Clan maintain our dignity if we don't teach her a lesson?"
No one dared to disrespect or slight them in Jintian Great World.
Yet, a mere Heavenly Sound Pavilion disciple dared to disrespect them today?!
Since they were already in a bad mood today, they didn't mind borrowing this opportunity to vent their frustration.
"Where's Liu Qingyan? If she doesn't come, shouldn't we go to meet her instead?"
Jintian Qi stared at Wu Yunlian.
Her face paled and she felt a chill run down her spine. It definitely wouldn't be good If Liu Qingyan fell into Jintian Qi's hands.
Although Wu Yunlian wished Liu Qingyan died, she knew that if the latter died, it would become impossibly difficult to explain things to Kong Yu!
She took a deep breath and tried to explain in a low voice, "Young Master, Liu Qingyan isn't simply a Heavenly Sound Pavilion disciple, she has also caught the Primordial Dao Court Kong Yu's fancy. If anything happens…"
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything but once she did, Jintian Qi and the others were furious and their expressions became exceedingly ugly.
"Are you trying to use Kong Yu to intimidate us?"
Jintian Qi's face turned steely-green.
They naturally knew Kong Yu of the Primordial Dao Court who was a direct descendant of the Imperial Kong Clan. However, why would they be afraid of him?
Wu Yunlian felt like she had been struck by lightning and inwardly cursed at her folly.
Jintian Qi ordered in a tone that wouldn't tolerate any objection, "I'll give you one last chance. Bring us to Liu Qingyan."
……
Under the ink-black night sky, the streets were still lively and bustling with activity.
The scene of Wu Yunlian leading a group of angry-looking Jintian clansmen to Guest Welcoming Mountain naturally couldn't be concealed and was noticed by countless eyes.
"Have you heard? A disciple of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, Liu Qingyan, refused to meet the Jintian Clan members which ended up angering them!"
"I can smell that something big is going to happen soon."
"The Heavenly Sound Pavilion is so unlucky. Not long ago, the Primordial Dao Court experts were murdered on their ship and even their quasi-Emperor, Hua Dian, was forced to kneel and beg for mercy. To think that they've now incurred the ire of the Imperial Jintian Clan."
"Liu Qingyan? I heard that she offended Kong Yu of the Primordial Dao Court, which is why she is being snubbed and suppressed by Heavenly Sound Pavilion."
Numerous discussions sprouted on the Whirlwind Ship.
On one of the streets was a stall managed by a tanned middle-aged man who resembled a farmer.
The stall displayed various kinds of seeds and a rusty hoe.
A man wearing a luxurious robe curiously stopped in front of the stall. He pointed at a thumb-sized seed and asked, "How many dao crystals for this little thing?"
The tanned, farmer-like middle-aged man raised his eyelids and revealed an honest smile. "It isn't expensive, only eight hundred thousand dao crystals."
The robed man was taken aback and blurted out in shock, "How much?"
The tanned middle-aged man earnestly answered, "Eight hundred thousand dao crystals."
"How is that not expensive…do you think I'm an idiot?"
The robed man spat on the ground and left with a flick of his sleeves.
The tanned middle-aged man merely smiled, not taking any offense.
After all, it was the seed of a True Dao Origin Fruit. Countless cultivators would fight over it even if it cost eight million dao crystals, let alone eight hundred thousand.
Regretfully, there were far too few people who could recognize it.
With this thought, the tanned middle-aged man shifted his gaze to Guest Welcome Mountain and inwardly muttered, "I wonder how many people on that mountain will be able to recognize it?"
……
Jintian Qi and the others began to ascend Guest Welcome Mountain.
A slight smile emerged from the corners of Old Monk Dukong's lips. The current situation did require some troublemakers to stir things up. Perhaps this might be the way to lure out the heretic?
Halfway up the mountain, a robed old man half-dozing on a wooden chair narrowed his eyes and let out an almost unnoticeable cold snort.
Those useless wastrels!
Meanwhile, the hemp-clothed youth lying atop the wall was overjoyed when he saw them and waved. "You know that there's clearly a tiger on the mountain yet you still wish to climb the mountain. Take care, brothers!"
Jintian Qi and the others frowned and coldly snorted, clearly somewhat angered by the remark.
In the end, however, they held themselves back.
They had heard that a quasi-Emperor Elder of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion had been forced to kneel in front of this very courtyard.
The hemp-clothed youth and old woman residing in the courtyard were very likely existences that should not be provoked.
This was why Jintian Qi and the others chose to endure. Otherwise, they would have long slapped the noisy hemp-clothed youth to death!
Wu Yunlian heaved a sigh of relief. She was worried that Jintian Qi and the others would lose their cool and clash with the hemp-clothed youth.
If that were to happen, the Heavenly Sound Pavilion would also suffer!
This made Wu Yunlian feel rather sullen. The Heavenly Sound Pavilion was the number one faction in Ziheng Star Field. As a Heavenly Sound Pavilion disciple, when had she ever faced such grievances there?
It was only after leaving Ziheng Star Field that Wu Yunlian realized how vast the Ancient Nebula Road was. It also made her increasingly aware that there were many powerful factions that she couldn't afford to offend.
"Things are finally becoming exciting…"
The hemp-clothed youth licked his lips in excitement. The Imperial Jintian Clan, Primordial Dao Court, and Heavenly Sound Pavilion…how many of them did that brother dare to offend?
"Stinking brat, you'll probably laugh if the world falls into chaos."
The old woman smilingly scolded. Soon after, she solemnly said, "I'm warning you that whatever trouble he causes will have to be handled by him. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with you and I won't interfere either."
The hemp-clothed youth helplessly said, "I know, I know. I'll just watch, alright?"
The old woman nodded. "Of course you will."
At this point, Jintian Qi and the others finally arrived in front of Lin Xun's courtyard.
"Here?" Jintian Qi sized up the place.
"Yes." Wu Yunlian nodded while internally agonizing.
She could only hope that the two Grand Elders, Liang Chuan and Hua Dian, would come as soon as they heard the news.
Otherwise, there was definitely going to be big trouble!
Jintian Qi asked in a deep voice, "Is Liu Qingyan here?"
The frustration in his heart had accumulated with nowhere to vent. Today, he had been reprimanded by Ancestor and then rejected by a mere Heavenly Sound Pavilion disciple. How could he take this lying down?
Lin Xun's voice rang out from the courtyard. "What is it?"
He couldn't help but frown. The visitor wasn't an expert from the Heavenly Sound Pavilion.
"What is it?" Jintian Qi was utterly pissed. He frostily said, "Since Liu Qingyan refuses to meet us, can't we come here to see her?"
Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. He had guessed the other party's identity and couldn't help but feel speechless.
It seemed that trouble came knocking one after another. It was simply impossible to have any peace and quiet.
