197: Chapter 197 Spirit Crystal Mine

Hearing that outsiders would be sought to deal with Asura Hall, these small factions couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, what the Master of Yunxiao Pavilion said next nearly made them burst into curses.

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion said, "To deal with Asura Hall, we must show enough sincerity. How about this: our four major factions will provide half of the resources, and the rest of you will provide the other half?"

In fact, when it came down to it, all the resources were being squeezed out of these small factions; the so-called half from the major powers didn't exist at all.

But those small factions had no room for resistance. Some people had already begun to think about defecting to Asura Hall.

After all, after joining Asura Hall, they might have to offer resources every year, but they wouldn't be treated as mere resource-providing machines.

Life was hard for these small factions; they were frequently beaten down by the four major powers, and their respective industries would often be halved.

Yet they dared to be angry but not speak out. Now that they were being asked to provide so many resources to deal with Asura Hall, how could they possibly afford it?

However, it wouldn't work if they didn't provide the resources, and defecting to Asura Hall right now wasn't the best choice either.

Because whether Asura Hall could survive an attack from other forces was still an unknown. Defecting to Asura Hall now would be seeking death.

There were many Cultivators who understood this logic. No matter how aggrieved they felt, they could only grit their teeth and scrape together all the resources.

Seeing these small factions yield, the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators of the four major powers couldn't help but smile.

Not much of these resources would actually be used to hire outside forces; most of them would end up in their own pockets, they just wouldn't say it out loud.

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion said with a smile, "Very good. I have understood your determination to annihilate Asura Hall. The outside force invited this time is Tianwu Pavilion. I believe you all know how strong they are."

As soon as his voice fell, the leaders of all the factions began to discuss among themselves.

"Tianwu Pavilion? Is that the Tianwu Pavilion with five Soul Transformation Stage experts?"

"It's actually them. No wonder so many resources are needed. Their Pavilion Master's cultivation has already reached the Peak of Soul Transformation."

"No wonder. If it's truly Tianwu Pavilion, Asura Hall won't be able to hold out for long."

"Heavens, to be able to invite them... then what chance does Asura Hall have?"

"Indeed, it seems these resources are well spent."

"However, what if we're inviting a wolf into our home? If they come and occupy the resources of this region, that would be bad."

"True, if they have wolfish ambitions, we won't have any way to stop them."

Some were happy while others were worried; some feared that once those powerful forces arrived, they would never leave.

On the entire Tianfeng Planet, besides Tianfeng City, there were about a dozen forces that possessed Peak Soul Transformation Stage experts, and Tianwu Pavilion was one of them.

Of course, their strength was toward the bottom of that group, because some forces possessed dozens of Soul Transformation experts, with more than just one or two at the Peak.

There might even be Spirit Wandering Stage experts among them, hidden away only because they didn't want to draw the wariness of Tianfeng City.

No one could say for sure if such experts existed, but this didn't stop people from seeing their power.

So if Tianwu Pavilion came, they would likely sweep through this region, and by then, the situation would be far more complicated than just dealing with Asura Hall.

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion also frowned. If things truly turned out as they said, even his Yunxiao Pavilion wouldn't be safe.

Just as he was hesitating, a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator couldn't help but say, "What kind of power does Tianwu Pavilion have? Would they look twice at our backwater place? Even if you gave it to them, they probably wouldn't care for it, right?"

However, as he spoke, his eyes darted around. It was obvious that this guy was a shill for Tianwu Pavilion.

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion nodded. He didn't think too much of it; a powerful force like Tianwu Pavilion certainly wouldn't look down upon this small Land of Chaos.

In that case, let's bring in the experts of Tianwu Pavilion to wipe out Asura Hall.

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion spoke, "Fine, this matter will be entrusted to the Master of Xuan null Cave. I hope the experts of Tianwu Pavilion can be invited as soon as possible."

The one who said Tianwu Pavilion wouldn't care for the Land of Chaos was precisely Cave Master Xuankong. He was the one who desperately wanted Tianwu Pavilion to come here, and had even understated the required resources for that purpose.

Cave Master Xuankong nodded and said, "Rest assured, Pavilion Master. I shall head to Tianwu Pavilion immediately. In half a month at most, I will have Tianwu Pavilion dispatch their troops."

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion and the others nodded and said, "We wish Cave Master Xuankong every success."

Cave Master Xuankong left quickly, leaving his Disciples behind.

This also put the other Cultivators at ease; since his Disciples were here, he couldn't just run off anywhere.

After all, he had taken a lot of resources when he left, resources meant for hiring Tianwu Pavilion to deal with Asura Hall.

The Master of Yunxiao Pavilion said with a smile, "Since Cave Master Xuankong has gone to find Tianwu Pavilion for help, let's wait for them here. Come, let's celebrate the destruction of Asura Hall in advance."

Although Asura Hall hadn't done anything to threaten them, Li Fengqing of Asura Hall was simply too powerful. If two more experts like that appeared, the entire Land of Chaos would be unified.

What would be left for them then? They would likely either have to submit or be killed.

After all, they had seen the miserable state of the faction that had submitted to Asura Hall; they didn't even have resources for their own cultivation.

In truth, this was because Li Junlin didn't know how to manage things; otherwise, this incident wouldn't have happened.

If management were left to Li Fengqing, those Cultivators would probably follow Asura Hall with unwavering loyalty.

Of course, it was all over now.

While the Master of Yunxiao Pavilion and the others were eating and drinking, Cave Master Xuankong had already arrived at Tianwu Pavilion.

On the surface, Tianwu Pavilion only had five Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, but in reality, they had more; others were either hidden or stationed outside for development.

Cave Master Xuankong was one of them. This time, he was ordered to take over the Land of Chaos.

Although the Land of Chaos was extremely chaotic, they were still united when facing external enemies.

The emergence of Asura Hall gave them an opportunity, which Cave Master Xuankong had fought for.

Originally, Tianwu Pavilion didn't have much of a chance, but because they asked for fewer resources, they stood out among the selected forces and became the best choice.

Inside Tianwu Pavilion, Pavilion Master Wu Qitian sat in the main seat. Looking at the four Soul Transformation Stage experts below, he couldn't help but smile, "Xuandong has succeeded. We will soon be able to move into the Land of Chaos."

The four Elders below were somewhat puzzled. They didn't know why Wu Qitian was so insistent on entering the Land of Chaos.

Although it wasn't a barren land, it wasn't a place rich in resources either; it was optional for them. The Pavilion Master's decision left them confused.

Seeing the confusion on their faces, the Pavilion Master smiled and said, "There is something you don't know. I discovered a small Spirit Crystal Mine in the Land of Chaos. If it is mined, it will be enough for us to Cultivate to the Spirit Wandering Stage."

"This matter is top secret. I am telling you now, but you are not allowed to reveal it. Do you understand?"

The four Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators all widened their eyes. That wasn't a Spirit Stone mine; that was a rare Spirit Crystal Mine.

It was said that on the entire Tianfeng Planet, only Tianfeng City had three small Spirit Crystal Mines. If their Tianwu Pavilion had one too, then achieving the Spirit Wandering Stage would surely not be a problem.

The first Soul Transformation Stage expert on the left quickly said, "Take it! We must take the Land of Chaos. I will lead the vanguard!"
