483: Chapter 483 The Dawn of the Pill Tower, Using Oneself as a Pretext

Ghost Demon's expression was currently extremely unsightly, his fists clenching until they creaked as his cold gaze fixed on the scene before him.

"Damn it, who exactly ruined this young master's grand plan?"

However, the answer to this question was temporarily unobtainable.

"If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid this excellent situation will collapse." He then flipped his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his palm. Just as he was about to crush it...

Tang Huo'er prepared to tear through space to escape the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's locking array. She swept her hand, intending to break the space and leave.

"What's going on?" She was instantly shocked. As a Half-Saint expert, spatial energy should have been easily manipulated.

Now, however, she was unable to slice through space. This change filled Tang Huo'er with fear.

"Hmph, in the array set by this seat, who can escape without permission?"

Mud Bodhisattva, situated at the center of the array, noticed someone trying to tear through space to escape and gave a cold smile.

With a flick of his finger, the Feng Shui Grand Array drew upon the power of the earth veins, enhancing the array's potency.

Meanwhile, outside, Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent as he watched the distant battle.

Just as he was preparing for the next step, a sudden change occurred in the distance.

Buzz...

Suddenly, outside the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the space in the sky distorted violently. With a slight shimmer, thirteen powerful figures emerged.

"Venerable Qiu Ling, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is just ahead..." a Dou Zong expert behind him spoke respectfully.

Venerable Qiu Ling nodded slightly. Previously, someone had reported to the Pill Tower that they had seen the target of the Pill Tower's kill order.

Xuan Kongzi of the Pill Tower had quickly sent people to investigate and learned that the Starfall Pavilion, in alliance with the Flower Sect and Burning Flame Valley, was surrounding and attacking the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

And since Hun Tiandi was once a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, it was believed that upon receiving the news...

...he would definitely not stand by. Thus, Xuan Kongzi had dispatched three Dou Zun experts from among the Pill Tower's eight great elders.

Accompanied by ten Pill Tower experts, they headed toward the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion in the Central Plains' Eastern Region.

"Go and check for news on the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion," Venerable Qiu Ling said indifferently.

"Yes, Elder." Immediately, a Pill Tower expert behind him turned into a streak of light and sped toward the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The remaining Pill Tower experts stayed atop the mountain peak.

"Pill Tower?" In the distance, Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back. Seeing the arrival of the Pill Tower experts, he knew this situation had become even more troublesome.

It seemed that his whereabouts had been exposed ever since he left the Dead Soul Mountain Range.

Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile. He hadn't intended to hide in the first place. Naturally, he had considered that the Dazheng Dynasty had just entered the Central Plains and its foundation was weak.

It needed time to accumulate strength, so he could only use himself as the bait to draw the eyes of various factions.

Currently, the exterior of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was enveloped by an array, making it difficult to see what was happening inside.

"Elder Qiu Ling, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is obscured by an array; the scene inside cannot be seen," a Pill Tower expert said respectfully.

"Then let's make a move!" Elder Qiu Ling muttered after a moment of deliberation, his voice cold.

Swish...

The experts behind him moved, darting toward the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion at high speed. They immediately began attacking the Feng Shui array incessantly.

The array in the sky rippled with waves of fluctuations as the attacks came like a rising tide.

"How did so many experts arrive all of a sudden?" Mud Bodhisattva, who was maintaining the array, had a change of expression.

Under such a powerful onslaught, the array likely wouldn't last much longer.

A quarter-hour later, Mud Bodhisattva received Hun Tiandi's command and dispersed the array. The mist cleared, revealing the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, which had been reduced almost to ruins.

At this moment, the fierce fighting quickly came to a halt.

"Pill Tower?" Tang Ying's longsword shifted, his gaze icy. Opposite him, Tang Huo'er was covered in sword wounds, her aura withered.

She looked heavily injured.

"Hahaha, the Pill Tower has arrived! Your Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion deserves its destruction!" Ghost Demon laughed arrogantly, his gaze provocatively fixed on Tang Ying.

Elder Qiu Ling of the Pill Tower, wearing an exquisite Alchemist robe, stood with his hands behind his back.

"Pavilion Tang Ying, I am here by the order of President Xuan Kongzi. Please hand over Hun Tiandi." Elder Qiu Ling was not polite.

"Hun Tiandi? My Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion has no such person," Tang Ying said in confusion.

"Hmph, Hun Tiandi is your disciple, Yun Tian," Tang Huo'er said coldly.

"Yun Tian has already been forced to withdraw from the sect by the people of the Starfall Pavilion and the Xiao Family. This Saint does not know where he is now either."

Tang Ying's voice was frigid, showing no respect to Elder Qiu Ling at all.

If not for his wariness of the Pill Tower's Big Three, Tang Ying would have spoken directly with the sword in his hand.

"Hmm, so Pavilion Master Tang does not wish to hand him over?" Elder Qiu Ling said, feeling displeased.

"Is the Pill Tower very strong?" Suddenly, Venerable Huanglong gave a sinister smile. His burly body and overbearing aura directly confronted Elder Qiu Ling.

"And you are...?" Elder Qiu Ling asked.

"I'm your grandfather..." Venerable Huanglong said arrogantly, waving his hand.

The five Dou Zong experts behind him charged toward the Pill Tower's group.

Just moments ago, Venerable Huanglong had received word through the Blood Spirit Seal to simply go ahead and fight the Pill Tower's experts.

Boom!

Immediately, the six experts began their assault, clashing with the Pill Tower. The battle intensified once again.

At this time, on the Starfall Pavilion's side, after Venerable Huanglong's slaughter, only three experts remained by Ghost Demon's side. He was furious.

The Starfall Pavilion had suffered heavy losses this time; even though he was the Young Pavilion Master, he would still be punished.

Although his mother was a pavilion master, there was another pavilion master in the Starfall Pavilion who was still alive.

"Young Master, what should we do?" the expert beside him asked.

"Wait!" Ghost Demon said indifferently.

"Kill!" Tang Ying suddenly shouted, issuing an order. The elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion charged toward the Pill Tower's experts.

Previously, it was this group of people who had acted to block the attacks from the Starfall Pavilion and the Flower Sect.

Otherwise, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion would have already been destroyed.

"Pavilion Tang Ying, won't you reconsider? First offending the Starfall Pavilion, Flower Sect, and Burning Flame Valley, and now offending my Pill Tower... the consequences..."

Elder Qiu Ling's expression turned cold as he looked at Tang Ying.

"Hahaha, consequences? At this point, with the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion on the brink of destruction, how can this Saint still care about consequences? You all forced my hand!"

Tang Ying spoke coldly, the sword intent on his body roaring.

Pfft!

After killing two Dou Zun experts from the Flower Sect, the Human Puppet quickly shifted battlefields and charged toward the Pill Tower.

Suddenly, all ten Pill Tower experts were targeted. Some, lacking sufficient strength, were quickly killed.

"Let's move!" Venerable Qiu Ling looked at the two elders beside him and spoke slowly.

Just as they were about to act, an overbearing voice rang out from outside the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

"Experts of the Pill Tower, this seat is right here waiting for you. Come out!" Hun Tiandi shouted.

The rolling voice, bolstered by Dou Qi, surged into the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

"This is..." Venerable Qiu Ling moved, rushing outside at high speed.

Atop the mountain peak, Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes burning as he looked at the Pill Tower's experts.

"Hun Tiandi, surrender without a fight. The President has ordered that we can refrain from harming the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion..." Elder Qiu Ling said coldly.

The three Dou Zun quickly surrounded Hun Tiandi to prevent his escape.

"Jie jie jie, that old ghost Xuan Kongzi still can't stop thinking about me!" Hun Tiandi showed no fear.

He slowly extended his hands without resisting. Elder Qiu Ling then moved his hand, condensing Dou Qi into chains to bind Hun Tiandi.

"Wait!" Tang Ying of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion suddenly spoke, preparing to intervene and intercept.

"Pavilion Tang Ying, don't bother. These people from the Pill Tower are not to be trifled with. I am exchanging myself for the safety of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's disciples. No matter how you look at it, it's a worthy trade?"
