199: Chapter 199 Letting the Wolf In
When the Asura Hall Cultivators saw the nine giant Dragons circling in the sky, they all began to cheer.
They also knew what Li Fengqing was doing; this was a mountain-protecting Formation!
With this Formation, they were no longer afraid of being breached by other powerful forces; at least the other four major forces in the Land of Chaos would have no way to deal with them.
Li Junlin couldn't help but sigh, "When will I have such strength? Sigh."
Gui Nian couldn't help but smile, "Vice Hall Master, with your talent, I believe it won't be long before you can Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage. At that time, your combat power will definitely be no worse than the Great General's."
Of course, he was just saying it; the Great General's combat power was extremely formidable, and even the Chief Steward Butler Wang Er might not be his match.
In the entire Asura Hall, the only one who could surpass the Great General was Li Daoxuan.
But he couldn't say that, because if he did, it would likely strike a blow to Li Junlin's confidence.
He didn't count two people: Li Fengyang and Li Fengwu. Their combat power was also extraordinary.
Having been personally taught by Li Daoxuan, their combat power was not something ordinary Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators could match.
Even if they couldn't completely defeat Great General Li Fengqing, it was very possible for them to fight to a draw.
Li Junlin nodded slightly. At this moment, he thought of his Revered Master. If Revered Master also reached this Realm, his combat power would probably be similar to the Great General's.
Thinking of this, he missed Ye Chen a bit, but he also knew they were no longer on the same planet and couldn't return in the short term.
"Alright, let's not say more for now. There are some things I want to ask Junior Martial Uncle about. Let's go."
Everything he said was heard by Li Fengqing. By the time Li Junlin arrived at the Asura Main Hall, Li Fengqing was already waiting for him inside.
Li Junlin asked about how to manage the Cultivators they had subdued, and Li Fengqing gave a clear answer.
Li Fengqing's idea was to give these people a moderate amount of resources and reward them greatly every time they performed a service; this could also motivate them.
Of course, using both kindness and authority was necessary; otherwise, giving rewards without discipline would spoil them.
Li Junlin suddenly realized. He really lacked management experience to have made such a big oversight.
Li Fengqing patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, this matter is in the past. If there's anything you don't understand in the future, just come and ask me. I'll teach you how to manage Asura Hall."
To him, those were just clowns who couldn't cause any waves. As long as Li Junlin learned well in the future, he could definitely become an excellent leader.
Li Junlin was also very humble. After all, he originally thought he was just the son of a schoolteacher, never expecting to become the Vice Hall Master of Asura Hall in one leap.
The change in status made him uncomfortable, and with no one to guide him, it was easy to make mistakes.
These weren't difficult for Li Fengqing. Although Li Daoxuan hadn't managed him much, as Li Daoxuan's Disciple, others in Asura Hall had taught him how to manage Asura Hall since he was young.
Even if he couldn't become the Young Hall Master of Asura Hall in the future, he could still be a high-ranking official because he was Li Daoxuan's Disciple.
...
In Yunxiao Pavilion, the celebrating Cultivators suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.
A massive flying boat sped toward them, with thousands of people standing on it.
The Yunxiao Pavilion Master muttered, "The Tianwu Boat? Tianwu Pavilion actually deployed so many people, could it be...?"
A very bad thought emerged in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
The Land of Chaos was very barren; a power like Tianwu Pavilion wouldn't even spare it a glance.
But to deal with a small Asura Hall, there was no need to deploy so many experts at all.
Four Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, plus three hundred Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, and finally over a thousand Golden Core Stage Cultivators—such a lineup was not weak and could completely wipe out the Land of Chaos.
Because the two leading Soul Transformation experts were at the Late Stage, and the remaining two were at the Middle Stage—was this the strength of Tianwu Pavilion?
There wasn't even a single Early Stage expert—no, the Cave Revered Master of Xuankong Cave, Cave Master Xuandong, was one.
But Cave Master Xuandong wasn't from Tianwu Pavilion, so why was he standing with them? It felt like they were all together.
Yunxiao's heart was filled with doubt, and once the thought emerged, he could no longer suppress it.
With a thought, he quickly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already inside the Yunxiao Pavilion Treasury.
Without hesitation, he took all the resources in the treasury with him and sent a voice transmission to the other two Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators.
"Did you feel it? It seems this matter is not so simple. We'd better be careful."
The other two Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators nodded quickly; they weren't fools to have cultivated to this Realm.
They could see something was wrong at a glance, but at this moment, they could only pretend not to know.
At the same time, they left behind an illusory image to continue eating and drinking, while they themselves went back to take all their resources.
The three major forces were not very far apart, so they returned quickly.
After returning, they pretended as if nothing was wrong, waiting for Tianwu Pavilion's arrival.
Soon, Tianwu Pavilion's Tianwu Boat arrived above Yunxiao Pavilion and slowly descended.
Leading them was Grand Elder Great Elder Ji Qingwu of Tianwu Pavilion. When they saw him, the three of them, including Yunxiao, knew this was definitely a conspiracy.
As expected, before they could speak, Great Elder Ji Qingwu said with a smile, "Since you are all here, I don't have to look for you one by one."
"Tianwu Pavilion wants the Land of Chaos. Who is for it and who is against it?"
The Yunxiao Pavilion Master and the leaders of the other two major forces looked grim. They were also Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, just with lower cultivation levels.
If they wanted to leave, it would still be quite easy; after all, this was their territory.
Yunxiao asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to annex my Land of Chaos?"
Great Elder Ji Qingwu nodded, "Isn't it obvious? Besides, what's wrong with becoming Elders of my Tianwu Pavilion?"
Becoming an Elder of Tianwu Pavilion might be fine, but they feared becoming someone else's hired thugs.
Just then, Cave Master Xuandong suddenly said, "You, Tianwu Pavilion, are going back on your word? Breaking your promise?"
He acted as if he were stunned, as if he hadn't noticed at all that Tianwu Pavilion was eyeing the Land of Chaos.
One had to admit, this guy's acting was very convincing. If the Yunxiao Pavilion Master hadn't been on guard, he might have been fooled.
The other two Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators also looked at him with half-smiles. After all, he was the one who chose Tianwu Pavilion; it was impossible that he had no connection with them.
Seeing the Yunxiao Pavilion Master and the other two Soul Transformation Cultivators looking at him like that, he knew his plan wouldn't work.
Cave Master Xuandong sighed slightly, "Isn't it good to just honestly join Tianwu Pavilion? Why must you resist?"
The Yunxiao Pavilion Master laughed, "No matter how bad this Land of Chaos is, it is still our Land of Chaos. Even if I have to fight to the death, I will never give it up."
"If I had known, I would have given the Land of Chaos to Asura Hall instead of leading the wolf into the house."
Cave Master Xuandong narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "You should know that Asura Hall is also an outside force. Why is there such a big difference between them and Tianwu Pavilion?"
The Yunxiao Pavilion Master laughed, "Tianwu Pavilion is different from Asura Hall. Since Asura Hall arrived, they have at least not actively attacked any other forces."
